  • True Emotional Health Leads to Jesus

    We've seen people go after healing and leave christianity entirely.

    We've seen people take license to just be triggered at everybody that sin't "safe".

    We've seen people cling to religious legalism when healing and freedom is so close.

    Whatever the case...there are a lot of "paths" out there to walk in our lives...a lot of options for how to do life and what to worship.

    While many people have to intentionally question what they believe about God and many really should reconstruct their faith at some level, when do you go too far?

    At what point do people miss out on the most freeing relationship that ever existed?

    The truth is that Jesus is the most life-giving source of freedom that ever lived.

    He is the person of unconditional love.

    While some emotional health and psychologies philosophize and theorize unconditional love, we worship a real God and person that is the true manifestation of Love.

    We don't have to fabricate this love in our minds.

    He's a person that demonstrated this love to us.

    We wanted to dialogue about God and the gospel and help listeners recenter to Him.

  • Weaponizing Emotional Health and Taking Ownership

    We, as human beings, love to learn new language and understanding and point it at other people rather than ourselves...

    It is so easy to learn new emotional health language and become more self aware and emotionally Intelligent to then want to point it at others when they/we are triggered.

    We have done this so many times...

    And it doesn't help.

    We've also made turned emotional health into another "fix yourself" process and have resented it in different seasons.

    If you struggle with needing control or you have been someone that has felt safer by "knowing" or "understanding" things...

    Then this episode is for you.

  • Inner healing vs. Deliverance part 1

    The demonic is very real.

    And I'm sure if you've been a part of the church for long enough, you've heard of a bunch of different kinds of inner healing methods or styles...

    We've both experienced the demonic and the supernatural but we haven't built a "deliverance" ministry...

    This podcast episode answers "why?"

    In this episode, we share stories of the supernatural and talk about the differences between inner healing and deliverance and how that overlaps with the healing process.

    Hopefully, some of your boxes will be broken and this dialogue will encourage you to keep an open mind.
