The Cognitive Dissonance of Spiritual Amnesia in the West
04/27/25 • 49 min
In today’s episode, I’m coming to you straight from my living room with a smorgasbord of updates and reflections. I share a little life update (new job, sickness, and the decision to almost quit the podcast), along with a heartfelt thank you for your graciousness along the way.
We dive into Deuteronomy 6, exploring Moses’ final words to a new generation of Israelites standing on the edge of the Promised Land — and how his call to remember God still speaks to us today. In a culture where Jesus can easily become just another accessory, we’re called to live set apart and stay rooted in who he is.

Hope & Help For Your Anxiety
Today, we're diving into the topic of anxiety and aiming to leave you feeling hopeful and equipped to starve out the worry in your life. I’ll share my experiences with anxiety, including postpartum struggles and my first panic attack. We'll distinguish between true anxiety and anxious thinking.
For those feeling anxious, I’ll offer some hope through scripture, prayer, and ways to help you renew your mind and redeem your thought patterns. Remember, God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-control. To manage anxiety, I suggest things like cutting out caffeine, improving sleep habits, staying hydrated, and avoiding social media or true crime shows. It’s crucial to address any underlying triggers and lean on the support of friends, family, and scripture. Together, we can pursue peace and find comfort in Christ!
