My guest this week is Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, the creator of the Brain-Based Enneagram. We talked about science, hope, trauma, shame, the Brain-Based Enneagram... pretty much anything relating to the psychological framework of Jesus and the application for that in our lives. I’ve linked to a bunch of resources below for those wanting to dive deeper into the topics we covered. Get some!

#71: Andrew & Norine Brunson's Story

In October 2016, Andrew & Norine Brunson were arrested and jailed in Turkey. Andrew was ultimately held for 2 years. I had the privilege of sitting down in person with Andrew and Norine and hearing their story. They shared about the persecution they experienced, the trial of faith he endured and how Andrew ultimately learned to stand in the darkest place of his life and press into God for strength every day. I was inspired and challenged!

#73: How to deal with fear, anger and sadness during COVID-19

Many of us were raised to believe all kinds of myths about emotions, such as they’re sinful, they lead us astray, that emotions aren’t spiritual and so on. Right now, terrorized by the fear of a global pandemic, we’re surrounded by emotions! The truth is that emotions are a God-given source of wisdom when we know how to interpret them. In this episode, I share some science on what emotions are in our brains and bodies, a few practical tips on how to process the fear, anger and sadness coming up during this COVID-19 crisis, and then we practice accessing our emotions and bringing them to God.
