When you hear the word, "rest," what thoughts or images come to mind? In today's podcast, Janell hopes to expand your understanding of true rest. What if you saw "rest" as "collecting strength?" Feeling a bit empty? Go collect yourself some strength. Would this mind shift help you take a little more time for yourself? Would it make you feel less guilty?

Have you ever had an antagonistic person or friend or coworker who continually seems to put your down? In Episode 12, Janell opens a conversation about Practice 4, "Pray Through and Stay With," of her newest book, "Overcoming Hurtful Words: Rewrite Your Own Story." It can be really hard to "keep going" when things in life get hard. Janell learned a valuable life lesson from one of her Biblical heroes: Hannah in 1 Samuel 1.

Self-awareness is often misunderstood. Episode 11 opens up a great conversation about how critical it is to be self-aware. To take time for self-examination. To begin looking at everything in our life through the frame of "healthy" or "unhealthy." This simple adjustment in Janell's "frame of mind," helped her move into a much better way of doing life.

Episode 10 opens a conversation about Practice 2, Welcome God into Your Whys, of "Overcoming Hurtful Words: Rewrite Your Own Story." We all want to know "WHY," don't we, when something terrible or unexpected or tragic happens either to us or in the world? Today, Janell suggests inviting "GOD" into our whys. Sitting in the space of unknown(s) is so better if we know God is with us.

Over and over again this past week, the word, "happy," has appeared in conversations with clients and friends. Today, we get a little technical about "positive psychology" and "authentic happiness," but I believe it is an essential conversation about living our very best life.

This week's word: WHOLE! In Episodes 4 & 5 we talked about a direct, intentional question Jesus asked a lame man: Do you want to be whole? So, let's look at this word and discover how we can move through life from a W.H.O.L.E. place. Oftentimes, when we are in a healing journey, either physical or emotional or spiritual, true healing and freedom comes AFTER a very hard challenge or circumstance or relationship. Let's not stop short of our blessing. Let's stay with and pray through to the other side of our pain in order to experience FREEDOM!

Episode 5 completes our "Lectio Divina" experience in John 5:1-17, where we place ourselves in this dynamic passage and historical story. What "point-of-view" did you see this story through? What did you hear or see? Today, we look at this passage and open a conversation about "prosody" or "tone of voice," which serves as the delivery system for our words. The tone of our voice is actually more powerful than the words we actually speak.

Lectio Divina, Latin for "Divine Reading," or "Sacred Reading," invites us to read the ancient text of the Bible in a fresh, new way. By placing ourselves in the midst of the story, we "see" and "hear" the story from a heart-centric position. Today's episode invites you into the story of John 5 where Jesus challenges a man with this powerful question, "Do you want to be whole?" Echoes sound and ask us the same, "Do we want to be whole?"
