Oh yeah, we're still talking about being WEIRD, cause that's what we do around here. (Go back and listen to Part 1, it's really good!) If you've ever noticed, weird is one of them there SPECTRUM words, ranging from the delightfully eccentric to the dangerously delusional. There is weirdness that should be celebrated, and weirdness that should frankly be extricated. So how do we delineate? Should we delineate (spoiler alert: th...

I so wanted to title this episode "JOHN ELDREDGE TAKES US ON A MAGICAL MYSTICAL MISFIT TOUR..."
But it was a little long. Not to mention way too alliterative.
And I also didn't want to scare you off.
Because the truth is, being a Mystic is not about being "magical".
And it's also not about "wild woowoo, ecstatic visions or something" (that's a direct quote by JE, btw).
So what IS it about then?
Well, let's start with his (and...

What do you get when you put Superman, Kryptonite, Creativity and Allen Arnold together on the same podcast??? That's what we're here to find out!
Allen joins us with some great encouragement on how to recognize the things that shut us down (#triggered!) , and what to do about it. Because, btw... the things that shut us down ultimately shut our creativity down. And we can't have that. So, there you go, we've got ourselves a Two'fe...

This podcast was recorded before the holidays. But I think you'll agree, since we're smack dab in the middle of that glorious week of reflection and eating all the leftover cookies, references to Christmas are still on the table.
But whenever you're listening, it's always a good time for Stasi E and Stacey B to be in the house. They, of course, through Wild at Heart Ministries interact with tens, nay HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of ...

Kyle Mann, you heard me, not a cheap fake AI version but THE real life Editor in Chief of the Babylon Bee shocks us all by returning to the Isle after a 4 year hiatus. And so much has happened in those 4 years. For starters, he got WAY more famous from all that Babylon Bee satire stuff putting them on the map in a major way... he starred in an epic docudrama "January 6th: The Most Deadliest Day", and if that wasn't enough, he als...

Sometimes it's good to get "triggered". Like when you listen to a podcast that pushes your buttons, reach out to the host of said podcast, and end up having a wonderful podcast conversation of your own, processing said triggering.
That's what today's episode is all about, with Allen Arnold, said co-host of the Wild at Heart podcast.
The topic of the day, btw, is expectations.
Thus, the triggering.
So here's your assignment.
