Have you ever felt the weight of shame in your spiritual journey, wondering how it affects your relationship with the divine? Dr. James Honeycutt joins us to navigate the delicate interplay between shame, faith, and identity. Together, we peel back the layers of this complex emotion, from its biblical roots in the Garden of Eden to its impact on our modern lives. Discover how shame can both challenge and deepen your connection with God, and find out why understanding the difference between guilt and shame is crucial for your spiritual well-being.
Embarking on a candid discussion, we share personal stories that reveal how early life experiences and parental relationships cast long shadows over our openness to the Gospel. Dr. Honeycutt, with his profound insights, helps us tread the fine line between healthy self-reflection and the paralyzing effects of shame. We also tackle the sensitive subject of church discipline, balancing the need for accountability with the nurturing of a compassionate community. Learn how to foster an environment where vulnerability meets emotional safety, allowing for genuine transformation.
Wrapping up, we delve into the vital role of social norms like confession and transparency within trusted circles, addressing the psychological underpinnings and potential pitfalls of oversharing in an age of social media. As we ponder the cultural narrative around shame and its place in personal growth, Dr. Honeycutt's expertise shines a light on the importance of discernment and maturity in our faith walk. We close with an invitation for you to join the conversation, welcoming your questions on living an authentic Christian life amidst the challenges of shame.Support the Show.

When we consider the blueprint of a man's soul, we often overlook the silent architectsâthe mentors who guide us through the labyrinth of life's challenges. Dr. James Honeycutt joins me on a profound exploration of mentorship and its inextricable link to spiritual and personal development for men. We unravel the tapestry of our own experiences to reveal how mentors, from our fathers to our academic guides, have been the weavers of our faith and understanding, especially for those of us who have felt the void of growing up in a fatherless home.
The journey of faith is seldom a straight pathâit is a road marked with questions, reconstruction, and the search for authenticity. We recount our personal narratives of shedding military-influenced perceptions of masculinity to embrace diverse male role models who preach Christian nonviolence and pacifism. With Dr. Honeycutt's insights, we navigate the complex dance of deconstructing and reconstructing faith, uncovering the urgent need for strong, present mentors for the younger generation facing a barrage of new societal pressures.
But what does it truly mean to embody a healthy male role model in today's world? This episode delves into the intersection of Stoicism and Christianity, the importance of emotional strength, and the harmonious blend of humility and conviction in leadership. We reflect on how virtues like wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice can shape not just our personal ideals, but also how we perceive and relate to the Divine. Join us as we honor these silent architects and the profound influence they hold in sculpting men of faith, character, and empathy.Support the Show.

Struggling with the notion of God as a Comforter can leave many of us feeling spiritually adrift, especially when our cultural background clashes with our personal experiences of the Divine.

My colleague, Tim Jantz, joins me to bridge the gap between psychology and theology, offering a perspective that's sure to challenge and deepen your understanding of God's multifaceted character.
There's a profound connection between the way we bond with our parents and how we perceive God, especially during life's trials. I open up about my own parenting journey, reflecting on those critical moments that shaped my children's view of God as a source of comfort. We dissect studies which link the style of parental attachment to one's spiritual and religious struggles, sparking a conversation on the transformative power of a nurturing relationship with our Creator. Listen as we navigate the turbulent waters of anxiety, perfectionism, and the search for an ever-present God in the midst of our imperfections.
As we wrap up, we contemplate the bedrock of a strong spiritual life: prayer, community, and diving into the scriptures. These practices aren't just rituals; they're lifelines that reframe our experience of God's presence in our daily walk. I'm excited to share insights from my upcoming dissertation on attachment and how it's reshaping my understanding of faith. So whether you're wrestling with doubt or searching for spiritual solace, our conversation is a beacon of hope, encouraging you to see God in a light that's both comforting and true to the Christian experience.

When the weight of addiction intersects with the strength of faith, an intense and deeply personal battle emerges. This is the journey my colleague, Lewis Alvey, and I navigate in our latest God Attachment Healing Podcast. Lewis, a mental health professional with over a decade of experience, joins me in a conversation that peels back the layers of shame and isolation that often plague Christians grappling with addiction. Together, we shed light on the complexities of recovery, from the recognition of the problem to the hopeful steps toward transformation, all within the framework of our spiritual beliefs.
The path to overcoming addiction is rarely walked alone, and our discussion reveals the importance of community and connectionâelements that can be as healing as they are vital. We delve into the role of various support groups and the potential for church communities to extend a hand in this journey. The raw and honest experiences we share underscore the emotional toll addiction takes, not just on the afflicted but also on the family and friends who stand by them. Their stories of perseverance and compassion become powerful testaments to the human spirit and the transformative power of hope.
As we wrap up, we take a moment to reflect on the broader implications of our dialogue, the intersection of forgiveness, redemption, and the gospel's message of grace. It's a reminder that these tough conversations, while challenging, are necessary and can ultimately lead to healing. For anyone touched by addiction or seeking solace in faith, this episode stands as a beacon of understanding and encouragement, inviting listeners to find strength in vulnerability and renewal in their faith journey with us.Support the Show.

In this episode of our podcast, I was joined by a very special guest, Elyssa Rocha, who shared her personal story of growing up in a non-Christian home and how her search for meaning influenced her decision to have not one, but two abortions. Elysse shares a unique perspective on this topic and sheds light on the complex emotions she experienced during these times in her life.
My guest opens up about how not having a strong faith foundation left her feeling alone and lost. When she found herself pregnant in her early 20s, she believed that having an abortion was the "right" thing to do to help the baby and herself. She speaks about the societal pressure and lack of support she felt during this time, which reinforced her decision to have an abortion.
However, when she found herself pregnant for the second time, things were different. Even though she had not received Christ in her heart yet, she had promised herself she would not have another abortion and found herself feeling the emotional and spiritual weight of this decision. The second time around, she was starting to experience His presence and compassion in her life. This led her to feel the weight of her decision to have a second abortion and the guilt and shame that came with it. When she came to know Christ close to two years ago, she opens up about the internal battle she faced and how she struggled to reconcile her faith with her past decisions.
Elysse shares how her new personal relationship with Christ helped her cope with the immense feelings of shame and guilt from her abortions. She talks about how she learned to forgive herself and receive God's forgiveness, which ultimately brought her healing and restoration.
As Christians, it can be difficult to approach women who are considering abortion. We may feel the need to judge or condemn, but our guest encourages us to instead approach with compassion and understanding. She shares how we can minister to these women in a loving and truthful way, by pointing them to the hope and redemption found in Christ.
In this powerful episode, my guest's vulnerability and transparency shed light on the complex and emotional journey of women facing unplanned pregnancies. Her personal experience also highlights the transformative power of Christ's love and grace in our lives. We hope this episode will inspire and equip our listeners to have meaningful and compassionate conversations with those facing this difficult decision.Support the Show.

In today's podcast, we dive into the intersection of faith and attachment styles. In this episode, I sit down with Rita Blevin, who developed an avoidant attachment style after being separated from both of her biological parents due to an international kidnapping. Through her vulnerable and transparent testimony, Rita shares how she coped with the effects of her avoidant attachment style, including her relationships with her parents, romantic partners, and even with God.
Growing up without a stable family structure, Rita found herself constantly seeking independence and distancing herself from emotional connection. Even though she had family members who treated her well and provided a safe environment, she did observe that avoidance led to difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships in other areas of her life. Rita also shares how her avoidant attachment style affected her Christian walk.
However, through her journey of healing, Rita found hope and restoration through the guidance of a Christian therapist. She shares the tools and techniques she learned to cope with her avoidant attachment style in a healthier way and how this has transformed her relationships, including her relationship with God.
Join us as we unpack Rita's powerful story and learn how God used a therapist to help her find healing and ultimately develop a more secure attachment to Him.Support the Show.

Understanding your attachment style is critical to helping you navigate your dating relationships. I discussed the significance of understanding attachment styles in romantic relationships, how these styles are established in childhood, and how those childhood experiences with our parents can significantly influence how we relate to others in adulthood.

The church has a long history of addressing mental health issues and specifically doing what was called "soul care." Throughout the years, it was slowly taken over by secular counselors. In the modern era, the church has come to terms with the reality on how mental health issues are affecting the church. But, are we addressing it effectively and in a way that is still true and consistent with biblical principles?
What is psychology? Existentialism - meaning, suffering, death and purpose/valueHow has the church handled mental health issues historically, What does the church do better when addressing mental health issues, What do modern counselors and psychologists do differently than how the church has handled them, Are there pros to secular counseling? Can Christians get better with having a secular counselor? The differences between Christian and secular counseling, Why those differences matter, andHow we can avoid allowing the culture to dictate to the church what healthy should look like.
On today's podcast, Dr. Knapp and I discuss the differences in how Christians and culture view solutions for mental health issues.

The process of grieving looks different for everyone, and it even happens with how fathers and mothers experience the loss of a child. It does not always look the way we want it to look, nor does it always follow the stages in the exact order in which it is presented. I think we can all agree that there are different types of suffering that bring on different levels of pain, and there is no greater pain a parent can experience than the loss of a child. However, it is important for parents to understand that how they feel and what they think throughout this process is completely normal. The key is in reminding one's self of biblical truth and finding a strong Christian community for support. So, a question that naturally arises is, how can we trust God through the grieving process?
What Christy's parents example taught her about Who God isExperiencing the loss of a childNegative messages that enter our minds and hearts during lossThe ministry of presenceExperiencing a second lossThe significance of namesBelieving "It's my fault" and "Is God punishing me?" Feeling judgedLastly, the "Dos" and "Don'ts" of how to support your friends experiencing grief

It seems like nowadays, it is popular for Christians to be deconstructing their faith. However, we have to understand that this has happened since the beginning of Christianity. The difference today is that after deconstructing, there are many who do so to excuse their sin and try to create their own version of who Jesus is, and if He does not fit into their mold, then they abandon Him completely. But why is this happening?

On today's podcast, Justin Kintzel and I discuss what deconstruction is, why some Christians stay and others abandon their faith in Christ, explore the dangers of the prosperity gospel, and elaborate on why having a sound theology is important to deconstruct in a healthy way.

Learning how to heal from our relationship with God requires us to go back to the basics. The basics of Christian life are easily identifiable: emotional regulation, prayer, filling our mind with Scripture, seeking strong Christian community, and serving others.
Theyâre just emotions Here are some examples of strong emotions felt by the Psalmists:Psalm 22:1-2; 42:3, 5, 11; 55; 77:1-3; 88:13-16
On today's episode, I discuss how the practicing the basics of Christian life can helps us heal in our relationship with God. I also discuss the following topics:
Experience all the emotions you are havingPray with Honesty, Humility, Awe and Patience

Pray the GospelJohn 3:16-19Romans 5:8-112 Cor. 5:21Fill Your Mind with Scripture
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, in the largest book in the Bible (chapters-wise) and the focus of it is on the importance of the Word of God in our lives. Just continue to fill your mind with Scripture.Connect with a strong biblical community
Who we surround ourselves with will affect how we view our faith in Jesus and how we live out the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is an encouragement to be with each other, encourage each other, struggle together and be open with one another.

Guilt and shame are probably the most common emotions we experience in our fallen nature. It has been a prevalent issue since the fall of Adam and Eve.

Having copious amounts of information about God is not the same as KNOWING God. Knowing God is much more than knowledge, but having the knowledge is a good start.
Why we should study Scripture,How God views us individually and collectively as humankind, Sharing verses of encouragement that help us know God deeper,Defining prayer,Exploring what we should pray for, What prayer does for us as believers,What we should look for in Christian community, Why church and community is important, andLastly, what our responsibility is to that community
For those of us who grew up in the church, we often take for granted how being brought up in the church has given us a foundation of knowing God at a cognitive level. However, as we get older, we move that understanding to a more intimate understanding of God as our faith is tested through the fire and trials of life. In essence, we experience God at a deeper level that we would never have experienced had we not gone through the suffering needed to conform us into the image of Christ.
On today's episode, Charles Reynolds and I discuss the importance of Scripture, prayer and Christian community to know God intimately.

We all need forgiveness. Forgiveness is a key factor in receiving the gift of salvation. Jesus forgives our sins when we repent from them and turn towards Him. Jesus forgave the most heinous of sins, including the past, present and future ones. The Bible says that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). But even though this is a hallmark of the Gospel, it is probably one of the most difficult for Christians to accept and practice.
