He’s an ordained Presbyterian minister, a senior fellow at the Max De Pree Center for Leadership & the Fuller Youth Institute, & a prolific writer with many articles on leadership, organization, & technology that have appeared in various publications, such as the Christian Century, Theological Education, & Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. He is also the Hugh De Pree Professor Of Leadership Development at Fuller’s School of Mission & Theology who taught our awesome Practical Theology class this quarter! He wrote The Innovative Church to embody a never-changing gospel for an ever-changing world

Watch this raw interview full of honesty packed with examples of how to make spiritual sense especially with things we don’t understand, don’t have control over, & don’t find fair. We discuss grace & at the end, Scott leads us into a practice of being honest with God about how we feel in lament. Will you join us & practice being honest with God?

Description:
Do you ever feel like what God may be calling you to do ever feels so big or drastic that you notice a little bit of “fear and trembling” as Paul notes in Phil 2:12-13? In the King James Version of the Bible, “Fear” is spoken of over 500 times where there are commands to “Fear not” and as well as sayings to “Fear God.” In addition to not being overtaken with a spirit of fear, we’re called to fear God and revere Him alone, not fearing anyone or anything else.

However, as humans, there may be real moments when God calls us to big things, and a healthy sense of fear may be there as we take in His call in awe of Him, while being fearful of offending, disobeying, or failing to do the call in our own strength. That’s where dependence on God is key, so we can lean on His spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.

In this Practical Pause, we take time to reflect on God’s big calls in life in the story of Mary today. These Practical Pause exercises are available for free, but all support is appreciated through CheddarUp and Patreon (see below)!



What We’ll Do:
Chrissy and Emma Rose walk us through Luke 1:26 - 33, the birth of Jesus foretold to Mary. They will walk through the SOAP method of studying the Bible. SOAP stands for looking at Scripture, Observing the text, Applying it, and Praying about it. Our hope is that God will speak to you through His word as He spoke to Mary. May He bring His Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind in place of any fear between you and His big call for you!

We are so excited to be back with you for Season 2 of our podcast!   

Join us as we share all about why we took some time away & what we are up to now! In this episode, we get real about how we’ve been avoiding burnout while juggling responsibilities through taking breaks & slowing pace, as well as discuss some things we’re learning now that we are back at seminary together. We go into lessons such as how to make spiritual sense & shake up BIG lies to discerning the spirit of fear from healthy fear that comes from BIG faith, along with sharing what the theological term “docetism” means & how it plays into Jesus being a fully spiritual God & a fully physical human & what that means for us. Toward the end, we go into the rhythms for which you can expect to hear from us, which includes a free Practical Pause every other month!  


Key Moments:
9:33: Life Now!
11:39: Making Spiritual Sense, Big Lies
14:40 Healthy Fear
22:04 Docetism, Jesus Christ as Fully Human
27:40 Pressing In
30:00 Updates on Podcast Rhythms

Watch this real & raw interview full of truth & revelation about coming home to yourself with God on the journey. At the end, Dr. Thema leads us into a Practical Pause that will get you dancing in your seat! Join the dance with us & wake up your child-like joy!

We vulnerably share how God teaches us to receive deeper healing when we let Him & others into it (even if we don’t know what “it” is).

Are there things you’ve noticed about yourself that’s always bugged you? Maybe you have quick-tempered overreactions with the people you love most, hyper-criticality with yourself, or difficulty focusing & concentrating on work or studies. If you’re like us, you may have thought over time that it was a part of your personality & nature you couldn’t change. But, what if a part of it was actually a residual trauma effect that God wanted to heal to help you change?

Join the conversation with us as we discuss how trauma affects our whole selves & ways we relate to others. We vulnerably share how God teaches us to receive deeper healing when we let Him & others into it (even if we don’t know what “it” is).

Description:
What if God doesn’t just want you to be emotionally healthy, but He invites you to experience emotional wealth with a deep love for yourself and others that naturally pours out and isn’t easily dried? You may have known about emotional health as a concept, but have you taken the time to gauge your level of emotional health? When you love your family & friends, would others consider you a Jesus follower just by how you love them well (John 13:35)?
Join the conversation with us as we vulnerably share how God teaches us to receive His Emotional Provision while reparenting us and Healing Trauma Through Relationships as we can trust Him instead of reacting from a fleshy, automatic trauma or stress response.

Listen or watch this month’s Whole & To The Full as Chrissy and Emma Rose go over what it means to grow in #EmotionalHealth and awareness and how God wants to heal our deepest relational pains in relationship with Him and others.

They integrate what they’re learning from Chrissy’s Masters of Divinity Program and Emma Rose’s Clinical Psychology PhD Program at #FullerTheologicalSeminary.
If you want to gauge where you are with emotional provision and see how Jesus healed through trauma after the crucifixion, we invite you to join us for the Practical Pause, where we walk with Jesus to understand what He invites us into as we continue to heal.
