Holistic Christian Life - Worshiping God - Mind, Body, Soul

God created our bodies to thrive on certain foods, and scripture tells us what these foods are. We have been given a manual so to speak on how to be good stewards… the problem is, our food supply has been tampered with, and is very different from what it was in the old testament.  Today join Cynthia as she speaks with Maureen Diaz from God’s Good Table.  A former homesteader with 9 children, Maureen has great knowledge...

Cynthia enjoys another conversation with a fellow flyfishing guest, but we promise that they didn’t talk about fishing this time!  Social media is the topic today with Fr.

Join Cynthia and Chris Kornaros as they discuss Chris’s book and their own experiences with silence.  As the world with it’s technology and noise persists in pulling us away from stillness, we need to remember Psalm 46.  God is our refuge and strength - He dwells in His city, does marvelous things, and says, be still and know that I am God.  Why do we need to be still?

Cynthia had so much fun talking with Robin in the past that she asked her to come back on.  Truly… this is not an infomercial for hiring a coach… but we may be a little partial!
