    Ten Mantras for Guiding Transformation: A Rule of Life for Aging Well and Living Well | Ep. 62

    Transformation is not a moment; it is a way of living that unfolds slowly across a lifetime. In this episode of …We Have a Spiritual Problem, Dr. Jeff Armstrong revisits ten mantras that have appeared, implicitly and explicitly, across previous conversations and episodes—not as slogans, but as anchors for transformative aging. These mantras form an informal rule of life, shaping identity, posture, and purpose as we age. Drawing connections between spiritual formation, mortality awareness, humility, gratitude, and discernment, this episode explores how the words we rehearse internally may determine not just how long we live, but how well—and how wisely—we age… as we live with Purpose.

    Negativity: When the Soul Learns to Say No to Life | EP. 60

    Negativity is often treated as a personality flaw or a mental habit—but what if it is, at its core, a spiritual problem? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong explores how negativity grows when meaning erodes, when suffering goes unanswered, and when the soul quietly concludes that life is no longer trustworthy. Drawing from psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, this conversation invites listeners to see negativity not as a failure of character, but as a wound of the spirit—and to discover how healing begins when we learn to say yes to life again.

    Aging Toward the Omega Point: Spiritual Evolution and Transformative Aging | Ep.59

    What if aging is not decline—but direction? In this episode of …We Have a Spiritual Problem, Dr. Jeff Armstrong explores the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and the idea of Spiritual evolution toward the “Omega Point.” Using the lenses of well-centered fitness, the SPIES model, and transformative aging, this episode argues that aging well is not just physical or psychological—it is spiritual. Not in a religious sense, but in the deepest human sense: growing toward love, connection, community, and purpose. Aging well becomes not something that happens to us, but something we consciously grow toward.

    Saved From What? | The Spiritual Problem with “Me-and-Jesus” Christian | Ep. 58

    For decades, many evangelical churches have centered the Christian faith on having a “personal relationship with Jesus” and securing one’s own salvation. While often well-intentioned, this framework has quietly reshaped Christianity into something highly individualistic, future-oriented, and disconnected from the way Jesus actually taught people to live. In this episode of '…We Have a Spiritual Problem', Dr. Jeff Armstrong examines how self-focused salvation theology can undermine discipleship, love of neighbor, and the transformation of the world. Drawing on John 3:17, the teachings of Jesus, spiritual evolution, the Omega Point, and voices like NT Wright, this conversation reframes Christianity not as a rescue plan for individuals, but as a way of life oriented toward love, sacrifice, and participation in God’s ongoing renewal of creation.
