What if some of the most powerful tools for regulating your nervous system are tools God has already given you - and they don’t cost a penny?

In this episode, we’re talking about simple ways to help your body move out of survival mode and back toward safety, connection and peace. You’ll learn how Mary, Martha and Elijah give us a surprisingly helpful picture of three different nervous system states and how to recognize which one you might be living in.

From Kingdom Breaths, singing and connection to sunlight, grounding, nourishment, face plunges, Sabbath and renewing your mind, you’ll discover practical ways to work with God’s incredible design for your spirit, mind and body.

Because the goal isn’t to eliminate stress or stay perfectly regulated. It’s to become more resilient, recognize what your body needs and learn how to find your way back to peace.

You already own most of the equipment. Let’s start using it.

In this episode,  Dr. Tim Jennings, psychiatrist and author of The God-Shaped Brain, explains how our beliefs about God influence the way we think, feel, respond to stress and experience our faith.

We unpack why so many Christians carry an underlying fear of God, how seeing Him as angry or punitive can keep us operating from fear and survival, and what happens when we replace those beliefs with truth, love and trust.

We also tackle some BIG questions: Have we misunderstood the God of the Old Testament? What was really happening in the story of The Flood? And do we see God as Creator - or as a dictator who makes rules and punishes us when we break them?

Dr. Jennings also dives into how our thoughts and beliefs become encoded in the brain, the fascinating connection to quantum biology, and why Scripture tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile the loving Jesus of the New Testament with the God you thought you saw in the Old, this conversation may completely change the way you think about Him - and your brain.

What happens when you begin to wonder if your breast implants are affecting your health - and then start wrestling with what it would mean to remove them?

In this episode, I’m joined by three Christian Health Practitioners, Robbye Edwards, Janna Sanders and Catelyn Gale, who each made the decision to explant after years of living with breast implants.

We talk candidly about why they got implants in the first place, what eventually led them to have them removed, the fears and body-image struggles that surfaced along the way, what explant surgery and recovery were really like, and the changes they’ve experienced physically and emotionally since.

But this conversation goes even deeper than explant surgery. We talk about beauty, aging, scars, our daughters, listening to the Holy Spirit and learning to see our bodies through the lens of the One who created them.

If you have breast implants, are considering explant, - or have ever struggled with accepting the body God gave you - this is a conversation I think you’ll appreciate.
