    Emotional Healing in the Home (Ch 4: Below the Surface) | S4E21

    In this episode of our Spirit-Filled Home series, we tackle some of the tough stuff of the home.  We walk through the WLVS model, which stands for Wounds, Lies, Vows, and Strongholds, and how important it is to address deeper emotional issues that often underlie surface-level problems in relationships. Understanding these issues working below the surface helps us foster healthier relationships and cultivate a Spirit-filled home.    The episode introduces practical tools for healing, including the 'real prayer' process, which encourages listeners to engage in listening prayer to identify and explore their wounds. Our discussion also touches on the necessity of setting loving boundaries in relationships to rebuild trust and create a safe environment for emotional healing.  Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!    📖 SPIRIT-FILLED HOME BOOK: https://deeperwalk.com/product/the-spirit-filled-home-book/    📖 UNDERSTANDING THE WOUNDED HEART BOOK: https://deeperwalk.com/product/understanding-the-wounded-heart-book/  🕊️ THE FREEDOM COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/sp/freedom-course-landing-page/  💝 PAY IT FORWARD: https://deeperwalk.com/donate/   😎 Learn More About Heart-Focused Discipleship:  https://deeperwalk.com/heart-focused-discipleship/   📸 Follow Deeper Walk AND On the Trail (NEW) on Instagram!  https://www.instagram.com/deeperwalkinternational/  https://www.instagram.com/onthetrail_podcast  🏞️ JANUARY CONFERENCE REPLAY: https://deeperwalk.com/product/heart-focused-discipleship-conference-2026/  🎁 FREE DIY BOOK CLUB KIT: https://tinyurl.com/diyTSFH

In it, we give a brief overview of the five stages of maturity development according to The Life Model and how God designed us to grow and relate to one another.  Infants need smiles, security, and synchronization to develop emotional stability.

    A House Divided Cannot Stand (Ch 2: The Flesh-Filled Home)

    Flesh manifests itself through relational conflict (Gal 5; Jas 4:1-2).  In this episode, we continue our book study with Chapter Two: The Flesh-Filled Home exploring the characteristics of homes that walk more by the flesh than by the Spirit, the nature of conflict, and the importance of emotional capacity. We call out three A's of immaturity—avoidance, anger, and addiction—and highlight the need for self-reflection, tiny habits, and seeking help along the journey of personal growth.  In today's episode, we cover such questions as...  🏕️ What are indicators of a flesh-filled home?  🏕️ Can I choose to have spiritual maturity or emotional capacity?  🏕️ What does it look like to grow capacity?  Whether you read along with a book buddy or gather with a group, we've got a DIY Book Club Kit for you (link below)!  Also, no worries if it's not great timing for you to spontaneously launch a whole book study. We get it. The goal of this series is to give you a free resource to return to when you're ready to pick up the book, but it's still the Father-Daughter conversation you've come to expect.  Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  📖 THE BOOK: https://deeperwalk.com/product/the-spirit-filled-home-book/ 🏞️ JANUARY CONFERENCE: https://deeperwalk.com/product/heart-focused-discipleship-conference-2026/ 🥰 FREE 28 DAYS TO JOY CHALLENGE: https://4habits.org 🕊️ THE SPIRIT & SCRIPTURE COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/spiritcourse 💝 PAY IT FORWARD: https://deeperwalk.com/donate/  😎 Learn More About Heart-Focused Discipleship:  https://deeperwalk.com/heart-focused-discipleship/  📸 Follow Deeper Walk AND On the Trail (NEW) on Instagram!  https://www.instagram.com/deeperwalkinternational/  https://www.instagram.com/onthetrail_podcast  🎁 DIY BOOK CLUB KIT: https://tinyurl.com/diyTSFH

    The Spirit-Filled Home (Ch 1: Flesh vs. Spirit)

    We are delighted to launch the year with a new book study, going chapter by chapter through The Spirit-Filled Home. Over the course of this series, we'll talk maturity development, spiritual warfare, walking in the Spirit, and more, all with a strategic flavoring of marriage and family. (Fear not, for those of you who are walking the single road or for whom "marriage and family" may be complicated... I, Stephanie, am single, and I have thoughts about why this topic is still for you/us.) In today's episode, we're covering such questions as... 🏕️ What is walking in the flesh vs. walking in the Spirit?  🏕️ How can we recognize when we are walking in the flesh?  🏕️ What's a tool we can use to cultivate a lifestyle of walking in the Spirit?  🏕️ How can all of this apply to our home life?  Seriously, friends, this book is underrated, and I’m so excited to offer a series you can use as a book study in the new year. Whether you read along with a book buddy or gather with a group, we've got a DIY Book Club Kit for you! You'll find it in the links below.

    Love & the Promise (Advent: Part 4)

    God loves you so very much, and He has a plan for your life and your relationship with Him that He has had in the works since the foundations of the world, when you were only a twinkle in His eye. Join us as we celebrate the remarkable Love of God. On the podcast, we've been walking through the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise as a meditation on the four themes of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and now Love.

On Christmas Day, we encourage you to complete the Advent celebration with the lighting of the Christ Candle, which you can place at the center of your wreath. Join us on the trail as we wrap up the Advent series with a look at the remarkable love of God and as we celebrate some 2025 highlights and pray for our community. Grab your Bible and linger with us over the Binding of Isaac and the Message of Christmas (Gen 22) and meditate on the Gospel of Love given to us (Gal 3:8; Jn 15:13; Rom 8:32). Finally, wow, what a robust year 2025 has been! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the journey – from prayer partners, to financial partners, to volunteers and beyond! Thank you for prioritizing your heart and the hearts of those around you as you cultivate a deeper walk with God.

    Joy & the Promise (Advent: Part 3)

    On the third Sunday of Advent (Dec 14), we anticipate celebrating the incarnation with Joy. This year, we're looking at Advent through the lens of the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise. We remember this covenant with an acorn, because it's a big seed. The lid of the acorn represents three key blessings promised to Abraham — a seed (offspring), land, and relationship with God. The point of the acorn represents the point of the covenant, a blessing through Abraham that "all nations will be blessed through you"(Gen 22:18; Gal 3:8, etc.). This is the promise of Christ, the 'reason for the season.' As we dwell on 'Joy,' we reflect on the seed promised to Abraham. Isaac's name literally means "he laughs." God had plans for Abraham's household as a family unit and as a legacy that would usher in THE seed, Jesus Christ, who has us singing Joy to the World to this day and forevermore. Joy is a relational experience that connects us to God and others. The Abrahamic Covenant symbolizes God's promise of this belonging. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the recurring theme of belonging in such refrains as "I will be your God, and you will be My people" (Gen 17:7; Exo 6:7; Deu 29:13; Jer 30:22, etc.). How does this sense of belonging inform our sense of joy? Is there a difference between relational and spiritual joy? How can we meditate on and cultivate more joy during this Advent season? God not only desires a people for Himself but even invites us into a joyful relationship with Him and with each other. May you experience the JOY of belonging to our God this season.

    Peace & the Promise (Advent: Part 2)

    Could you use more peace in your life?  For Advent, we’re looking at the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise. Last week we introduced this covenant and looked at the Hope of the Promise. This week on the Advent calendar is about Peace, and we’re dwelling specifically on the promise of land.  Through this conversation, we see a sort of formula emerge: meditation on God’s provision plus meditation on what is eternal brings peace. We can remember this with three Ps: Provision, Permanence, and Peace.  Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!   🙏 DECEMBER 1 DEADLINE for January's Cohort!!
