    Living an Examined Life: Journaling to Expand Your Soul - Interview with Allison Byxbe

    Let's Talk Coaching! Are you ready to close the gap between where you are and where you feel called to go? Whether you're stuck on what's next … need a shot of encouragement … or have some past hurts that need tending, I'd be honored to serve as your coach as you work through this season. Schedule a call today to unlock your next breakthrough! https://calendly.com/annahmclaughlin/coaching-curiosity-call If you have questions before booking the curiosity call, feel free to message me at 704.810.1181 or on Instagram at @‌sheconsidersafield!   Episode Summary Anna sits down with Allison Byxbe — writing professor, certified journal instructor, and founder of two thriving journaling communities — to explore journaling as a meaningful spiritual formation practice. Together, they unpack how journaling is so much more than simply recording daily events; it can become a sacred space to process emotions, hear from God, find healing, and make sense of the stories we are living. Drawing from her own experience helping women build reflective writing habits, Allison shares how putting pen to paper can deepen intimacy with God, reveal patterns of grace, and create room for clarity in difficult seasons. This conversation is a beautiful invitation to slow down, pay attention, and discover how a simple journal can become a powerful companion in your faith journey. Key Takeaways Journaling is a spiritual formation tool, not just a diary — it's where your words and God's Word meet on the page Writing slows us down and engages the whole brain, creating what neuroscientists call integration — what the Bible calls shalom Journaling helps move us out of fight-or-flight and into logic, reasoning, and healing We don't need control — we need the ability to make meaning out of what we're experiencing An unexamined life leaves gifts on the table Start with just 5 minutes — write whatever question is keeping you up at night Your journal is an audience of one — no rules, no performance, just honesty before the Lord Journaling isn't only for hard seasons — recording joy and gratitude is equally transformational Journaling is an act of naming things, and there's power in naming Scriptures Referenced Parable of the New Wineskins (Matthew 9 / Mark 2 / Luke 5) "Think about whatever is good, praiseworthy..." (Philippians 4:8) Hezekiah laying Sennacherib's letter before the Lord (2 Kings 19) Adam naming the animals (Genesis 2) Books & Resources Journaling as a Spiritual Practice: Tracing the Lines of Grace to God's Presence by Allison Byxbe : https://a.co/d/00V4EvbQ One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp - https://a.co/d/0aWoRJ2I Previous episode on Overwhelmed to Overcomer (neuroscience & the brain — listen for the connection to what Allison shares!) - Renewing Our Minds by Rewiring Our Brains with Dr. Angela Deulen | Ep 114 : https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/renewing-our-minds-by-rewiring-our-brains-with-dr/id1714745503?i=1000758809927 Connect with Allison Instagram: @allisonbyxbe Website - https://allisonbyxbe.com/ Connect with Anna Leave a Review — Enjoying the show?

    The Power of Fasting

    Let's Talk Coaching! Are you ready to close the gap between where you are and where you feel called to go? Whether you're stuck on what's next … need a shot of encouragement … or have some past hurts that need tending, I'd be honored to serve as your coach as you work through this season. Schedule a call today to unlock your next breakthrough! https://calendly.com/annahmclaughlin/coaching-curiosity-call If you have questions before booking the curiosity call, feel free to message me at 704.810.1181 or on Instagram at @‌sheconsidersafield!   Episode Summary Anna explores the practice of fasting - not as a rigid rule, but as a personal invitation to draw closer to God. She walks through the biblical foundation of fasting, shares what Scripture says about how and when to fast, and opens up about some of her own most meaningful fasting experiences, including a 40-day fast that she believes helped bring her husband into her life. Key Points The Hebrew word for fasting (tsum) literally means "to cover the mouth" — it's rooted in physical denial, not just giving something up spiritually The only direct Old Testament mandate to fast is the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16), now fulfilled in Christ Jesus assumes his followers will fast (Matthew 6:16) — he just reframes the heart behind it Isaiah 58 is the clearest picture of what God actually wants in a fast: justice, generosity, and outward love — not just personal piety Fasting is most powerful when you feel stuck, anxious, or like you're not breaking through in prayer It's not a magic trick — it's submission. As C.S. Lewis puts it, we don't pray to change God's mind; he changes ours Anna's practical tip: try a dinner-to-dinner fast (e.g., 5pm to 5pm) as a gentler entry point A fast doesn't have to be food — but true fasting in Scripture is physical denial Scriptures Referenced Leviticus 16:29 — The Day of Atonement fast Luke 5 — The Pharisees question Jesus about fasting; the Bridegroom passage Matthew 6:16–18 — Jesus on how to fast (secretly, joyfully) Ecclesiastes 9:7–9 — Anoint your head, enjoy life Isaiah 58 — God's vision of a true fast Isaiah 59 — The Lord's hand is not too short to save Daniel 1 — The Daniel fast (fruits, vegetables, water) 2 Samuel 12 — David fasting over his ill child Resources Mentioned Strong's Concordance — Free online at BlueLetterBible.org C.S.

    When You're In the Middle of a Prayer... Interview with Hope Johnson

    Let's Talk Coaching! Are you ready to close the gap between where you are and where you feel called to go? Whether you're stuck on what's next … need a shot of encouragement … or have some past hurts that need tending, I'd be honored to serve as your coach as you work through this season. Schedule a call today: https://calendly.com/annahmclaughlin/coaching-curiosity-call If you have questions before booking the curiosity call, feel free to message me at 7804.810.1181 or on Facebook / Instagram! About this Episode Anna sits down with author Hope Johnson to talk about one of the hardest places to be as a believer — the unanswered prayer. Hope vulnerably shares her 20+ year journey of longing for marriage and family, and how that waiting has shaped her faith. Together they explore what it actually looks like to trust God when the answer hasn't come, how to quiet outside voices to hear His, and why our deepest desires aren't a sign He's forgotten us. Key Takeaways God loved Lazarus — and stayed away anyway. His delays aren't indifference; they're often the setup for something of greater, eternal value. Rehearse God's promises daily. Watch the ratio of doomscrolling to Scripture time. Find a truth-telling buddy — someone who will sit with you all the way through the pain and then point you back to Jesus. Silence other voices for a season. Forum shopping (chasing everyone else's marching orders) pulls us away from what God is personally saying to us. Turning faith into a formula is a form of idolatry — treating God like a pagan deity who needs to be appeased rather than a Father who loves us. Two signs you're attuned to Him: the answer in your heart lines up with Scripture, and there's peace from the Holy Spirit — even if it doesn't make sense to others. You have not slipped through the cracks. He has not forgotten you. Scriptures Referenced John 11:5–6, 45 — The raising of Lazarus; Jesus loved them, so he stayed away Hebrews 11:13 — Living by faith without seeing the promise fulfilled Isaiah 64:4 — No eye has seen what God does for those who wait on Him Philippians 3 — "Not that I have attained… but I press on" Joshua 1:9 — Be strong and courageous (two Hebrew words both meaning courage — grab hold, be transformed) Romans 14 — Each one acts before their own Master; the Lord will cause them to stand Job 38 — God speaks from the whirlwind: "Where were you?"

    Through the Generations: Reckoning with Curses and Blessings

    Have you ever read Exodus 20 — the part in the Ten Commandments about God punishing children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generation — and thought, That's not fair? You're not alone. In this episode, come and reckon with this passage of Scripture, that we might find the Father's good face even when it might initially feel hard to see. In this conversation, you'll discover: Why this passage made far more sense to ancient ears than it does to ours — and what our hyper-independent culture has caused us to miss about how deeply we are made to affect one another The "rocks in the pack" framework — a powerful, practical picture for understanding how generational sin travels, and how your faithfulness today lightens the load for descendants you'll never meet The two choices we face when Scripture doesn't feel fair — and which one leads to deeper faith instead of slow drift Why God is never less than fully just and fully merciful at the same time, and how the cross makes that gloriously clear What it looks like to move from victim posture to Ebenezer — from that was done to me to look at what God has done Whether you're carrying wounds from someone else's sin, wrestling with a text that troubles you, or simply hungry to live a life that echoes into eternity — this episode is for you. Key Takeaway: Your choices — today, in the ordinary, in the little — are echoing into generations 30,000 years from now. Let that call you higher. Let's Talk Coaching! Are you ready to close the gap between where you are and where you feel called to go?

  7. Renewing Our Minds by Rewiring Our Brains with Dr. Angela Deulen

    APR 2

    Renewing Our Minds by Rewiring Our Brains with Dr. Angela Deulen

    Join Anna McLaughlin for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Angela Deulen that bridges cutting-edge neuroscience and timeless Biblical truth. Dr. Deulen, a professor of psychology at California Baptist University and licensed therapist, shares her unique journey from researching world religions as a teenager to discovering the historical foundation of Christianity. In this deeply insightful episode, discover how your brain is literally designed for sanctification and spiritual growth. Learn about the "God spot" in your brain, why emotions are a gift that keeps us close to the Father, and how practices like prayer and meditation physically change our neural pathways. Dr. Deulen explains the relationship between the limbic system and prefrontal cortex, revealing why we can't be emotional and reasonable at the same time—and how God positions Himself right at that intersection. Whether you're a mother struggling with anxiety, someone wrestling with unforgiveness, or simply curious about how faith and science beautifully align, this conversation offers both scientific understanding and spiritual encouragement. Discover why the simple act of going before the Father each morning isn't just spiritually powerful—it's neurologically transformative. Key Points Faith, Reason & the Brain — Christianity is intellectually strong; the brain's emotional and rational systems can't operate fully at the same time; prayer engages the "God spot." Emotional Processing — Suppressing emotions intensifies them; the Psalms model honest expression; Jesus Himself felt deeply. Anger, Unforgiveness & Brain Health — Unresolved anger turns into bitterness and damages the brain; forgiveness is a repeated, ongoing process. Relationships & Mirror Neurons — We subconsciously mirror others; parents' regulation shapes children; we can choose not to mirror toxic people. Stress, Spiritual Practices & Community — Chronic stress harms body and mind; spiritual disciplines regulate the nervous system; women need supportive community. Neuroplasticity, Sanctification & Boundaries — The brain rewires through repeated thought patterns; sanctification is gradual; boundaries protect energy and reflect Jesus' example. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 22 - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (quoted by Jesus on the cross) - example of the Davidic arc from distress to trust John 15 - The True Vine (being the branch on His vine) Philippians 4:8 - "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things" Matthew 5:48 - "Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect" (Greek: telos - complete, mature) Ephesians 4:26 - "Be angry but in your anger do not sin" James 1:19 - "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry" Colossians 3:2 - "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" James 1 - The Father of heavenly lights who doesn't change like shifting shadows Joshua 1 - Multiple commands to "be strong and courageous, do not be afraid" Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" 1 John 4:4 - "Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world" Books and Resources Mentioned Books: The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (discussion of Jesus as liar, lord, or lunatic) Parenting from the Inside Out by Dan Siegel (hand-brain analogy, "flipping your lid") The True Vine by Andrew Murray (referenced by Anna as a favorite resource)   Where to Find Dr. Angela Deulen: Website: https://www.angeladeulen.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrAngelaDeulen Be a Guest on the Show Want to be a guest on Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

    We Were Never Meant to Go It Alone

    Let's Talk Coaching! Are you ready to close the gap between where you are and where you feel called to go? Whether you're stuck on what's next … need a shot of encouragement … or have some past hurts that need tending, I'd be honored to serve as your coach as you work through this season. Schedule a call today - and don't forget to mention this podcast for half-off your first session! https://calendly.com/annahmclaughlin/coaching-curiosity-call If you have questions before booking the curiosity call, feel free to message me at 7804.810.1181 or on Facebook / Instagram! About this Episode Anna gets real about the gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it - the weariness, the interruptions, the life that just keeps happening. Drawing from Paul's final letter to Timothy, she speaks to three places we find ourselves when we need support, and shares an exciting announcement about one-on-one coaching. Key Points Three places we find ourselves when we're struggling: We don't know what to do — we're in the middle of the tangle and can't see the shape of it; we need an outside perspective We know what to do, but our hearts fail us — we need encouragement, someone to "hold our arms up" like Aaron and Hur did for Moses We just need someone to hold the space — something already happened, and we need a companion while we pick up the pieces Scriptures Mentioned 2 Timothy 4:9–22 — Paul's final plea to Timothy; "Do your best to come before winter" Matthew 25:23 — "Well done, good and faithful servant" Exodus 17 — Aaron and Hur holding up Moses' arms during battle Genesis 2:18 — "It is not good for man to be alone" Books & Resources Mentioned The Rabbit Listened** by Cori Doerrfeld** : https://a.co/d/05db8RlC - a picture book about how to truly be present with someone in grief Previous episode with Jody Snowden on grief - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULQZYqlybQs Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

Do you have big dreams rooted in an even bigger God … but most days, those dreams seem impossibly far out of reach? Welcome to Overwhelmed to Overcomer podcast, where we unpack and celebrate the unique purpose the Lord has given each of us, and how we can walk it out more fully - with deeper JOY - today, right in the midst of the madness. Together, we will come to trust the Father's deep love for us and our incredible value as one of His children, called to steward well the gifts He's given us … we will unpack and walk out our own unique, God-given purpose … and we will encourage one another to operate in that purpose in our daily lives with courage, leaning into the support of fellow sojourners. In this podcast, you'll find practical, tactical steps; honest conversations; and my-heart-to-yours invitations to rest and receive at the feet of the God who sees you as you steward well His calling for your life. The Lord has called us to do a thing - and He'll not only equip us, but also fortify and fuel us along the way. So, let's dig into this conversation of belonging … purpose … and courage. Sweet friend, your. life. MATTERS. So, if you're here for this, I'm here for you! Let's do this thing. With clarity. With courage. With each other.
