Perfection vs. Excellence

Are there shadow sides to the spiritual gifts?

Where is the beauty?

Should the prophetic gift be involved in elections?

We recognize there’s a generation whose experiences within cultures that emphasize the gifts have left them deeply conflicted and wounded, even to the point of leaving their faith.

In this episode, Eric and Shayna wrestle with the dynamics of cultures that emphasize spiritual gifts and discuss how the church can do better while offering some steps for moving forward.

Listen to Eric and Shayna talk about a featured French Chef on Netflix Chef's Table and his decision to take a famous dish off the menu at his 3 star Michelin Restaurant. This angered many and he knew this would happen but he desperately needed to break free from the shackles of tradition to find out what he had deep inside of him. It was in this journey he discovered things he didn't know existed in him. How many times in our own lives are traditions keeping us from creating, dreaming, unearthing who we were designed to be?

This conversation was on the heels of a NY Times articles apologizing to readers for publishing an article for not getting their facts straight regarding a situation in the Israel / Hamas war that has recently unfolded.

We live in a day where not just news agencies but we as people live with such a pressure to have an opinion about everything even before we have all the facts needed to have a healthy perspective on the situation. Listen as Eric and Shayna dive into a conversation how opinion is hijacking our ability to think and what we can do about it.

In this episode Eric and Shayna have a debate about Taylor Swift. She is currently on a World Tour that is shattering just about every record and the US Treasury has credited her impacting the American economy by billions of dollars. Yet, many struggle with her as an artist? Is she authentic? Many are wondering and some don't understand why she is so successful. Eric and Shayna explore some of dynamics of what is called the "Taylor Swift Effect" and this cultural moment we are in.

This talk is centered around language is culture and culture is language. Eric and Shayna dialogue about how crucial it is we advance our personal language. Often times we become too satisfied with a vernacular that was revolutionary at one point but has now limited our paradigms and mindsets. Our words can limit us or expand us. One of the key things we can do is reduce our copy and pasting words and phrases and step into a space where we are constantly exploring and expanding our language and vocabulary so we can create new worlds and realities for humanity.

In the second conversation about human will and the will of God, we take a look at self imposed limitations and how they hinder us from creating the future. These kinds of limitations cause more humans to re-create their past than helping them to create the future. Listen to this conversation to help identify these limitations so you don't keep reliving your past and you can begin to step into a future you are designed for.

Listen to Eric and Shayna talk about this fascinating story about Rhino's and in an attempt to save them it ended up being very detrimental to their existence. There is a parallel for us as humans that we should take note of as we live in a time where it's "fashionable to live with fear", "it's cool to have struggles". This is not our design and something has been loss. So let's regain the very thing, our identity, which has the potential to create life, hope and do remarkable things on earth.

Listen to Eric and Shayna discuss a complex and dynamic topic of having Human free will and God's will. We make 35,000 decisions everyday and these decision are affecting our lives and creating our futures.

What do you do when you don't know what God wants you to do? Does God always want you to do what he wants? Do we really have free will or is it just the sensation of having free will?

If God makes every decision for us, then at the end of our lives we will barely have anything to give an account for.
