Spiritual entrepreneur, mexican food lover, author and Kyrios founder Nate Brewer joins Chris and Christina today. What is Holy Discontent? Why doesn't the body of Christ look like the Head? How do we activate the whole church? Nate's passion for teaching about the five-fold ministry is a must for anyone desiring to pursue what it truly means to follow Christ.

Chris and Christina pick up where they left off with Kimberley Lee. They start off by talking about the death of her dear husband and the events that followed. One thing we know you are going to pick up on is the rock solid belief that Kimberley has in a rock solid God. You will walk away from this podcast with a deeper sense of how a loving God uses tragedy for His good ... and for ours.

Chris and Christina kick off season two of the Real Life Mentoring podcast by interviewing their long time friend Kimberley Lee. Long time friends who are now family of the heart is how Kimberley describes how God has knit the Elledge and Lee families together. Kimberley's story is the love story about a remarkable God in the midst of profound pain and profound blessing.

Today, Real Life Mentoring Podcast friend, Todd Vinson, interviews Chris in an indepth look at his story. As you hear Chris and Christina say often, there is power in your story. As Chris shares his story, some of the details are not enjoyable, they are painful, but they are powerful. You will gain some great insight into Chris’ past, hear how God has redeemed his story and understand why he does what he does!

In a previous podcast, Chris and Christina introduced the topic of emotional intelligence by interviewing Phil Reynolds. Phil leads a consulting agency coaching executives, individuals, and teams to communicate better, work collaboratively, and deliver exceptional results. Today, they further develop the conversation giving plenty of examples of how to use healthy emotional intelligence for better relationships especially in a mentoring relationship.

Think you know Psalm 23? Is it a poem? Is it a funeral dirge? What is it all about? Chris and Christina share some new insight about an old passage.

Do you really want to change? Life is made of change that is either forced upon us or change that has been chosen. Change that is lasting requires a mindset shift and a mentor can be a positive support system when making a change. Some examples of change can be found in the six areas: mental, emotional, relational, professional/educational, spiritual, physical. Finally, they take a look at a significant physical change that Christina has recently undergone and unpack some of those principles and practical tools that you can apply in your own life.

Today Chris interviews Micheal Gerecke. Micheal lives in Coimbra, Portugal with his wife, Cristi, and their 3 kids. Believing that God wires people for community, Micheal and Cristi opened a cafe and community space called The Living Room ([email protected], Instagram: The Living Room).Not only does Micheal have a passion for seeing healthy communities being built, he also desires to see people become healthy physically. Micheal defines some basic health principles: what does it mean and what are the roadblocks? He also draws the connection to how our physical health actually applies to similar principles to spiritual health.

After over 30 years experience with investing in the lives of other people through mentoring, Chris and Christina have seen reoccurring themes. One of those themes is the idea of suffering in silence. Today they will unpack what things people suffer with and offer some reasons as to why they suffer. Finally, Christina will walk you through a process of finding help in the middle of your suffering. You will be able to take this simple process and apply it immediately!
