    Episode Revisited: I Shouldn't Feel This Way - Dr. Alison Cook

    Let’s be honest — we’ve all had those days when our emotions feel overwhelming or our thoughts just won’t slow down. It’s frustrating, right? Especially when we catch ourselves thinking, “I shouldn’t feel like this,” and yet... we still do. These emotional moments tend to ripple into so many areas of our lives — from our relationships to how we view ourselves and even how we show up at work. But here’s the good news: feeling our emotions is perfectly okay. What truly matters is how we respond to them. Today’s guest is Dr. Alison Cook — a psychologist, podcast host, and the author of several books, including her latest, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way: Name What’s Hard, Tame Your Guilt, and Transform Self-Sabotage into Brave Action. For the past two decades, Alison has helped women, couples, and leaders process emotional pain, build inner confidence, and live more fully into their God-given identity.

    Episode Revisited: The Evidence That Changed Jon Noyes’ Mind About Jesus | Jon Noyes

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Jon Noyes of Stand to Reason, a former atheist who once believed faith in God was intellectually indefensible. But after examining the evidence for Christianity, everything changed. Drawing from his background in law, Jon shares how to approach doubt with both clarity and compassion—and what it looks like to wrestle honestly with God through grief, suffering, anger, and unanswered prayers without losing hope or letting bitterness take root.

    Episode Revisited: What to do When Your Emotions Don't Tell the Truth | Gina Pope

    Today's episode is very special to me because I get to sit down and chat with my cousin Gina. I always joke with her that any of our phone conversations would make great podcast episodes, so I figured we might as well record one. In this episode, Gina and I discuss how to trust God when our feelings suggest otherwise, what to do when our thoughts don’t align with scripture, how to make decisions when we feel like we aren't getting a clear answer from God, and the power of speaking the word.

    111: The Truth About Running, Zone 2 Cardio & Barefoot Shoes | Mark Sisson

    Think running marathons is the secret to longevity and heart health? Think again. Today, I’m joined by Mark Sisson — a pioneer in ancestral health, NYT bestselling author, former elite endurance athlete, founder of Primal Kitchen, and creator of Peluva barefoot shoes. In this episode, we unpack why more cardio isn’t always better, how walking may actually be one of the best things for longevity, fat loss, metabolic health, and joint health, and why chronic endurance training can sometimes leave you feeling more inflamed, depleted, and prone to injury. We also dive into metabolic flexibility, strength training as we age, overtraining and hormones, and the surprising connection between barefoot shoes and better movement — including foot strength, balance, posture, mobility, glute activation, proprioception, and even common issues like bunions, foot pain, and instability as we age. This episode completely shifted the way I think about exercise and what it actually means to train smarter — and I have a feeling it might for you, too.
