• #353: Can I Unplug Without Coming Unglued? With Carlos Whittaker

  Most of us are so used to notifications and alerts, pings and rings that even if we don't want to be on our phones so much, we don't know how to change it. Yet the constant flow of information is actually harming our brains, relationships, and emotional well-being, even if we don’t realize it. Today’s guest, author and podcaster Carlos Whittaker, made a radical decision to disconnect from screens for two whole months, and what he learned will blow you away!  He shares what tech is really doing to our brains, the benefits of getting lost and being bored, and how disconnecting leads to reconnecting. Don’t worry—he’s not suggesting you go off-grid like he did, but explains how it’s possible to find balance. So, whether you’re feeling burned out, overstimulated, or just curious about how to be more mindful with your screen time, listen in! This conversation will give you practical, actionable steps to help you reset and reconnect—with others and with God.

• #352: Can I Forgive and Make It Stick? With Debbie Barr

  Forgiveness is one of the hardest choices we face—but it’s also one of the most powerful. Today’s guest, author Debbie Barr, reveals how forgiving others isn’t just an act of obedience to God—it’s a gift to ourselves. Many people don’t realize this, but we pay a high price to our overall health when we cling to resentment, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge. So, through a blend of science, psychology, and Scripture, Debbie unpacks the life-changing benefits of forgiveness. Plus, she'll give you practical steps to start moving forward, helping you understand why “forgive and forget” is a myth, what to do when painful memories resurface, and why waiting for the “right emotions” before forgiving is a mistake.  So, if you’re struggling to forgive, wondering if you’ve truly forgiven, or simply need encouragement on your journey, listen in! You're about to get a taste of the freedom that comes with forgiveness. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/352  Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

• #349: Can I Heal After Church Hurt? With Joe Dobbins

  “Church hurt” has become such a common phrase that it trends on social media, makes headlines, and is even the subject of a few documentaries. Yet within the church, we often struggle to talk openly about it. Not because we don’t care, but because we don’t always know how. Well, if you’re one of the precious many who have been touched by church hurt, you’ll be encouraged by this honest and insightful conversation. Today’s guest, Pastor Joe Dobbins, brings compassion, wisdom, and practical advice to help you understand the nature of church hurt, begin the journey of healing, and find the courage to re-engage in a faith community. He also shares how we, as the body of Christ, can be part of the solution—without church bashing. The pain of church hurt is real, my friend, but so is the hope of healing—healing that can begin today!
