    Are We All Addicts? The Hidden Attachments Shaping Our Lives

    What if addiction isn’t just about substances—but about the human soul?  In this episode of The Echoes Podcast, Marcus Goodyear and Camille Hall-Ortega sit down with bestselling author, Episcopal priest, psychotherapist, and Enneagram teacher Ian Morgan Cron to explore a surprising and deeply human idea: we are all addicts. Drawing from his latest book, The Fix, Ian reframes addiction as a misdirected longing—a search for connection, meaning, and ultimately, God.  This conversation also explores the connection between the Enneagram and addiction, the power of self-awareness, and why “hurt people” may be uniquely equipped to help others heal.    Show Notes:  The Typology Podcast with Ian Morgan Cron IanMorganCron.com The Fix by Ian Morgan Cron The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron The Grace of Letting Go, audio from Ian Morgan Cron's 2025 retreat at Laity Lodge The Big Book from Alcoholics Anonymous Carl Jung and 12 Steps origins Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim’s Tale by Ian Morgan Cron “I do not understand what I do...” Romans 7:15-20 Robert “Bob” Goff Enneagram types Introducing the Enneagram with Richard Rohr

    Staying Human in the Age of AI

In this episode, Andy Crouch talks with us about AI, anxiety, loneliness, and what technology can never replace. Drawing on The Life We’re Looking For, Andy explores why “formation requires friction” and why real hope begins with recovering a more personal, relational, and loving way of life.    Listen now and hear a hopeful vision for what it means to stay human.    Do you like this conversation?

  5. How to Hope Well

    ١٠ فبراير

    How to Hope Well

    SUMMARY:  Physician and medical ethicist Dr. Lydia Dugdale (Columbia University) argues hope isn’t a careless wish—it’s a practiced habit oriented toward a future good that’s hard but possible. We talk about hope as a communal discipline, the dangers on both sides—despair and false hope—how doctors actually handle prognoses, why imagination relates to hope, and whether “AI grief avatars” help or harm. Along the way: Aquinas, Augustine, and Howard E. Butt Jr. advising us to stay “steady in the saddle.”    NOTES:  Hope You’re Well! No, But Really. - Echoes Magazine Lydia S.

    Start Now: Practices for Flourishing in the Third Third

    “I love being old.” That comment from a woman in her late 80s stuck with Mark D. Roberts. Today he helps people think about how to flourish in the “third third” of life. In this episode of The Echoes Podcast, we cover why relationships at 20–50 shape our health at 80, what the U.S. Surgeon General calls the loneliness epidemic, how churches can foster intergenerational community, when moving in your 60s+ helps—or hurts—your social fabric, and why “it’s all about you” is a terrible retirement story. Practical, hopeful, and unapologetically positive about how to age well.  NOTES:   “Third Third of Life” work from the De Pree Center Third Third Flourishing - De Pree Center Can We Trust the Gospels? by Mark D.

    How Do We Help Our Kids Cope With Crisis? | With Dr. Jamie Aten & Kent Annan

    This summer, devastating floods struck Central Texas, leaving families, camps, and entire communities grieving and in shock. In response, the Echoes team hosted two live webinars to support parents, educators, and caregivers facing an urgent question: How do we help our kids cope with something like this? In this season one finale, we share highlights from those gatherings—including two heartfelt conversations with trauma expert Dr. Jamie Aten. A seasoned psychologist and co-creator of Spiritual First Aid, Jamie has spent over 20 years responding to the world’s hardest disasters and has lived through personal trauma himself. He’s joined in the second conversation by Kent Annan, host of the Better Samaritan Podcast, for an honest and hopeful dialogue about grief, parenting, and self-compassion. Together, they offer practical tools and spiritual insight for those walking children—and themselves—through fear, confusion, and loss. Whether you're a parent, pastor, educator, or community leader, this conversation offers grace-filled wisdom for showing up with love, clarity, and resilience when it’s needed most.
