    The episode where I say Goodbye

    In this episode, I look at some lessons learned along the way, some behind-the-scenes, and my reasons for stopping the podcast.

    Forgiveness 2.0

    I have matured and grown in my views of forgiveness, so I wanted to re-address the topic before I close the podcast.  How does Scripture define it? How is it portrayed? Does it mean we take the relational hit for the sake of taking the hit?

    Champion of Human Dignity: William Wilberforce

    "You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know." What were some of the experiences and beliefs that shaped Wilberforce's success as an abolitionist?

    Psalm 6 Amplified: A Psalm for those in deep grief

    Excellent for those whose bodies and minds are showing the strain of grief and/or anxiety.

    Pornography: An episode for those filmed, those who consume, and betrayed partners. Explicit.

    This episode is explicit and is not intended for minors.  I speak to the connection between pornography and sex trafficking. Porn use has never been my battle, and I have never been married to an addict, so I reached out to two people who could speak into those aspects of the porn topic. Sarah McDugal speaks to betrayed partners. Find her work here: https://www.wildernesstowild.com/ or traumamamas.app/get. Andrew J. Bauman speaks to those (especially men) who consume. Find his work here: andrewjbauman.com or christiancc.org  Books mentioned in the course of the hour were the following:  Your Sexually Addicted Spouse, by Steffens & Mean  How Not to be an *ss, by Bauman  The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex, by Gregoire & Gregoire  Leaders Eat Last, by Sinek  Leading with a Limp, by Allender  Try Softer, by Kolber

    Engaging Church While Healing from Severe Church Pain, Pt. 2

    How do you find truth? Related, but slightly different: how do you build healthy theology? How do I personally filter out theology or advocacy found online? How do you recognize healthy, unhealthy, or Pharisaical churches? What can I tell you about finding a healthy church, or dealing with anger or fear in regards to church?

    Engaging Church While Healing from Severe Church Pain, Part 1 of 2

    This is, by far, the most common topic behind the questions I received from audience members. Who is God? Is there room in the church for the broken? How does one not give up on American Christianity? How do we identify and relate to other believers after experiencing violence within religion?
