What do you do when all the bad things are happening at once? This week, a listener shares that her husband is recovering from open heart surgery while three of her siblings have been diagnosed with serious cancers.

Working for or with a narcissist can seriously damage your mental and physical health. Today we're breaking down what narcissism actually looks like at work, from the loud, degrading "overt" boss everyone can spot, to the sneakier "communal narcissist" who love-bombs you, plays the hero, and quietly discards you once they've gotten what they need. We talk about why these people rise to the top, how toxic teams end up mirroring dysf...

In this powerful conversation, Lysa TerKeurst gets honest about something most of us don't want to admit: we all have control issues. And often, what we call "being responsible" or "planning ahead" is actually fear disguised as strength.

As the founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, Lysa has spent years helping women navigate boundaries, forgiveness, and faith. But in her new book, Making...

I used to think celebrating myself was self-centered. Self-aggrandizing. 

A waste of time at best. 

An overextension of the ego at worst. If someone else wanted to celebrate me, I would let it happen. But letting it in was a whole different story.

When it came to celebrating myself, it used to be a non-starter. 

But I changed my mind and I want to tell you about it. 

Register for The River Within, a 12 week prog...

This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green explores the space between what we know deep down and what we're actually willing to do about it. Why do we stay in relationships, jobs, and patterns that felt "off" from the very beginning?

Amy's feeling proud, while Kat's feeling sad! We confess all the ways we've settled into getting older, from sensible shoes to loving vacuums to not wanting to go to concerts that start too late.

Plus: a story about the time Amy's mom showed up at school and walked her to class, a mo...

In this episode of the "God Pod", Leanne invites you to redefine "surrender" and actively shift from self-reliance to God's guidance.

Consider this episode a roadmap to recognizing and addressing your own "God Blocks", fostering self-acc...

The dominant cultural narrative says that truth lies in data, rational thinking and logic. 

And so when we set out to heal, we think we need to alter the thoughts, reframe the story, and get the mind under control (and for a while this may even work). 

But then there comes a point where the body begins to disagree with the mind. 

The body doesn’t care about “right” answers.

The body doesn’t ca...
