    Redefine the Good Things of God // Katherine Wolf

    In this episode, we sit down with Katherine Wolf to talk about what it means to live wholeheartedly when life doesn’t go as planned. Katherine shares her journey of surviving a massive stroke at 26, the long road of recovery, and how God reshaped her calling through suffering. Together we explore “invisible wheelchairs,” radical acceptance, parenting through pain, and the difference between curing and true healing. It’s an honest, hope-filled conversation about finding purpose in the dark and leaning on God’s presence when everything else feels uncertain. Key Takeaways The “good things of God” are spiritual realities—peace, joy, His presence—rather than guaranteed comfort or ease.Everyone carries “invisible wheelchairs,” unseen limitations that invite compassion and empathy.Radical acceptance allows us to move forward while still holding the scars of suffering.Suffering can refine, not erase, our gifts and calling.Healing goes deeper than cure; it is about wholeness of the soul.Hope offers an escape from the paralyzing “what if loop.”In suffering, the ministry of presence and tears often speaks louder than words.

  2. Faithful Presence in a Polarized World // Joshua Ryan Butler

    Faithful Presence in a Polarized World // Joshua Ryan Butler

    In this timely and honest conversation, we sit down with pastor and author Joshua Ryan Butler to talk about how the church can engage with politics in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus. Drawing from his book Party Crashing, we explore the tensions of modern and postmodern political frameworks, the spiritual stakes of polarization, and how unity in Christ can be a witness in a fractured world. We reflect on what’s happened post-election, how online and offline spaces shape our convictions, and what it means to be a faithful presence in our communities. Together, we lean into the hope and formation that comes through real relationships, local engagement, and a posture of love. Key TakeawaysUnity is sacred: Jesus prayed for the unity of the Church before going to the cross—how we relate across differences matters deeply to Him.Real-life relationships ground us: Online discourse is often dominated by postmodern extremes, but face-to-face relationships tend to be more grounded and bridge-building.There’s more than just red, blue, or silence: We’re not limited to partisanship or passivity—creative, faithful political engagement is possible and needed.Jesus reconciled enemies: Following Jesus means learning to walk together across significant ideological divides, like zealots and tax collectors in the same community.Faithful presence > flashy platforms: Lasting impact comes through everyday faithfulness and local civic engagement, not just national elections.Posture matters as much as position: How we show up—with humility, curiosity, and love—often speaks louder than what we believe.Hope in a bigger story: Remembering God’s sovereignty through history can calm our anxiety and remind us that the Church will endure.

    Why Reluctant Leaders Make the Strongest Guides // Willa Kane and Sally Breedlove

    In this episode, we sit down with Sally Breedlove and Willa Kane, two authors of Eighth Day Prayers. Together we explore how listening to God first transforms our leadership, our relationships, and our daily rhythms. From reluctant leadership to scripture-soaked prayer, Sally and Willa share how anchoring ourselves in God’s Word and the rhythms of the church calendar can create margin, cultivate hope, and deepen our joy. This is a conversation about slowing down, making space for God’s voice, and discovering the gift of community in prayer. Key TakeawaysListen first, speak second: Lasting leadership begins by listening to God before we speak or act.Reluctant leaders bring strength: Those who never sought influence often carry a unique humility and integrity.Scripture-soaked prayer sustains us: Simple, accessible rhythms of prayer keep us grounded in truth and hope.The church calendar roots our lives: Living by God’s seasons—Advent, Lent, Easter, and beyond—offers balance and perspective in a busy world.Saying no is leadership too: Boundaries create the space for faithful, Spirit-led influence.Collaboration is a gift: When pride is set aside, shared work can become joy-filled and deeply fruitful.Beauty belongs in faith: Prayer practices that are both true and beautiful invite us—and others—into God’s presence.

  4. Parenting Teens Through Anxiety // Dr. Kristin Valerius

    9月2日

    Parenting Teens Through Anxiety // Dr. Kristin Valerius

    In this episode of The Living Wholehearted Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kristin Valerius, a pediatric psychologist and faith-filled leader, to talk honestly about parenting teens in an anxious world. Together, we explore how anxiety can be a signal of what we value most, why parents don’t need to rescue kids from every hard feeling, and how repair—not perfection—builds lasting connection. If you’ve ever wondered how to help your teen (and yourself) navigate big emotions with grace, resilience, and faith, this conversation will encourage and equip you. Key TakeawaysAnxiety as information – Anxiety isn’t just a problem; it reveals what we value and can guide us toward growth.The tipping point of anxiety – It becomes unhealthy when it blocks daily functioning or life-giving activities.Validation before solutions – Teens feel calmer and more open when parents reflect their emotions before jumping into advice.Repair matters more than perfection – Messing up is inevitable; owning it models humility, grace, and belonging.Parents must regulate themselves too – Self-care, honesty about limits, and modeling resilience are essential for healthy homes.Connection in their world – Entering your teen’s passions (even video games or music you don’t love) creates trust and closeness.Hold the long view – Parenting teens can feel unrewarding, but grace reminds us that growth is a process, not a final arrival.

    Why Your Healing Starts With a Pause // Debra Fileta

    In this episode, we sit down with licensed counselor, author, and speaker Debra Fileta to explore what it truly means to heal from the inside out. Together, we unpack why our attempts at change often fail and how pausing, gaining insight, and facing our past can lead to lasting transformation. We talk about the deeper roots beneath our habits, how trauma resurfaces when life finally feels safe, and why triggers might actually be God’s invitation to heal. Join us as we offer a hope-filled, practical, and deeply faith-rooted conversation that will equip you to reset your life from the inside out. Key TakeawaysLasting change begins beneath the surface—true transformation requires addressing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, not just behaviors.Pausing is powerful—silence and stillness create space to hear from God and gain deeper insight.Triggers are not setbacks—they’re signs of where healing is still needed, and God’s invitation to go deeper.Childhood wounds still shape adult behavior—healing comes when we invite Jesus into those early places of pain.Insight leads to alignment—when your thoughts, feelings, and actions align with God’s truth, deep healing follows.Spiritual maturity includes emotional maturity—leaders can’t afford to ignore their inner world.Shame stalls healing, but gratitude invites it—reframing struggles with grace opens the door to growth.

    Parenting Through Struggle, Not Perfection // Annie Horner

    In this episode, we dive into the messy, holy work of parenting through connection—not perfection. Together, we explore how to navigate emotional floods, create safe spaces for our kids to struggle, and why repair matters more than always getting it right. From toddlers to teens, we talk about how to show up as calm, connected leaders—even when we feel overwhelmed ourselves. Whether you're parenting young kids, raising teens, or healing your own inner child, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and a reminder that you're not alone. TakeawaysRepair is more powerful than perfection—kids don’t need us to never mess up, they need us to make things right.Emotional flooding blocks learning—when a child is overwhelmed, connection is the first step, not correction.Play is a child’s language—and a powerful tool for building trust and processing big feelings.Teen connection looks different—they need presence and curiosity, not pressure or lectures.Parents are thermostats, not thermometers—our regulation sets the tone in the home.Tech can’t replace presence—small shifts can help us re-center connection in daily life.God’s parenting is our model—He stays close and kind, even when we struggle.======================================================== We LOVE that you’ve decided to join us this week for the Living Wholehearted Podcast.

    Choosing Truth When Trust Is Broken // Josh and Jaelyn Harrel

    In this episode, we sit down with Josh and Jaelyn Harrel for a courageous and grace-filled conversation about their journey through pornography addiction, hidden identity struggles, and the painful road to healing and restoration in marriage. As they share candidly about what it looked like to disclose deep secrets and choose connection in the face of betrayal, we’re reminded that God's love can redeem even the most broken places when we choose to walk in the light. Takeaways:Pornography deeply affects intimacy: Even "secret" struggles erode trust and closeness in marriage.Full disclosure takes time and courage: Healing requires honesty—even when it’s messy or slow.Sexual identity struggles are real in the church: Silence fuels shame; trusted spaces bring hope.The betrayed spouse also has a healing journey: Restoration involves both people doing the heart work.God restores what's been shattered: When we surrender and stay open, beauty rises from the brokenness.Supportive community matters: Trusted friends and wise counselors help carry the weight.Restoration begins with choice: Daily, imperfect steps toward truth and trust make a difference.
