Part 2

🎙️ New Podcast Episode

It was an honor to host Dr. Judith Orloff, whose pioneering work on empathy has deeply shaped how we understand emotional intelligence and human connection. I first encountered her research more than twenty years ago while completing my graduate studies in psychology at Saybrook University, and her insights continue to influence the “people-helping” professions in profound ways.

Dr. Orloff is a brilliant physician, a compassionate healer, and a true visionary. I occasionally invite thought leaders from the secular world whose work enriches our understanding of the soul and the psyche—and this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

Listen and glean from her wisdom, heart, and brilliance. She’s a gem.

The church is weary, fractured, and caught in the same tribal shouting as the world. But when Elijah struck the Jordan, God opened a middle path; not here, not there, but through. Part I of this new series looks at what it means to walk that path today. Not nostalgia, not mimicry, but hope in the God who still parts the waters.

Unhealthy Leadership is about what happens when we as leaders don’t face the fears, insecurities, and conflicts inside of us. What we leave hidden doesn’t stay hidden, it seeps into our decisions, our relationships, and the very atmosphere we create. In this podcast I talk about Saul, Paul’s warnings, the wisdom of the Fathers, and the insights of psychology and leadership theory. The point is simple: if we don’t bring our inner life into the light of Christ, we place invisible ceilings over the very people and organizations God entrusted to us. But when we find the courage to tell the truth, to confess, and to live from our belovedness, we make room for our communities to breathe, to flourish, and to move into God’s future with freedom.

In a world filled with noise, how do we distinguish God’s voice from all the rest? Join Dr. Chironna as he uncovers timeless wisdom to help you discern truth, guard against deception, and recover the power of authentic prophetic witness for today’s church.

In the first episode of our new Revelation Series on The Edge Podcast, Dr. Mark Chironna and Dr. Mario Hood embark on a prophetic journey through the most misunderstood book in the New Testament.

Rather than decoding predictions, this conversation invites listeners into a deeper way of seeing, hearing, and living in light of the risen Lamb.

Drawing from both pastoral insight and theological depth, Drs. Chironna and Hood explore Revelation as a letter, a prophecy, and a transformative vision, one meant to shape the Church’s imagination, not just its eschatology.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by Revelation, this episode will help you reframe the Apocalypse not as something to fear, but something to hear.

What if the end is not about escape, but about endurance?

In this episode of On the Edge, Dr. Mario Hood sits down with Dr. Mark Chironna to explore his timely and piercing new book, Prophetic Integrity and the Elijah Legacy: Cultivating a Listening Ear and a Discerning Heart. Together, they discuss the urgent need to reclaim a sacred, Spirit-formed understanding of prophetic vision, one that moves beyond sensationalism and into the deep work of healing, integration, and communion with God.

Drawing from voices like Abraham Heschel and William James, and engaging thinkers such as Charles Taylor and Iain McGilchrist, Dr. Chironna offers a compelling framework for prophetic consciousness in our disenchanted age. From the fragmentation of the modern self to the sacred task of re-enchantment, this conversation traverses theology, psychology, and spiritual formation to recover the weight and wonder of truly hearing God.

If you’re longing for discernment with depth—and prophecy that restores rather than divides—this conversation will meet you at the edge of insight and transformation.

Join me for a timely and critical podcast episode as we explore "Toxic Prayer Movements: When Devotion Turns Dangerous." In this deeply reflective and honest conversation, we'll unpack how genuine spiritual practices like prayer and fasting can tragically become tools of manipulation, control, and spiritual abuse under toxic leadership. We'll journey through church history—contrasting contemporary harmful prayer movements with the authentic renewal and ethical clarity found in the Desert Fathers, the Moravian Revival, and the Great Awakenings. This episode will help you discern the subtle yet serious differences between authentic spiritual movements and those marked by authoritarianism, deprivation, and unhealthy spiritual dynamics. Together, we'll rediscover a balanced, life-giving vision of prayer and devotion.

Don't miss this important discussion—your spiritual well-being matters.

This edition of The Edge Podcast is all self-disclosure from me about enduring dark seasons, and take you carefully and prayerfull through mine, that lasted three and a half years.

In this Podcast episode, The Spirit of Anger and the Scapegoat Machine, I invite you to step into the raging undercurrent shaping our world, a culture where anger is no longer a reaction, but the atmosphere we breathe. I address how the ancient instinct to blame and exile has returned in full force, even within the Church, and how the real battle is not against enemies out there, but against the spirit of accusation itself.

Drawing from the insights of Scripture and the brilliance of Rene Girard, I take you on a journey as to why scapegoating feels powerful but leaves us unchanged, and why Jesus, the ultimate and final scapegoat, stands as the only way out of the cycle. If, like me, you're weary of outrage culture, if you're longing for something deeper than blame, and if you’re ready to walk the path of the Lamb instead of the path of accusation, this podcast is for you.
