How's Your Soul?Creative expression (feat. Ivan Gonzalez)A theory I love to believe is that being made in the "image of God" has less to do with physical appearance, and more so with the ability to create. Creativity feels essential to the human experience and necessary for the health of the soul. So I invited a close friend and fellow creative, Ivan Gonzalez, to explore aspects of creativity and how they permeate the human experience. From good to bad to ugly, we cover everything from the Garden of Eden to nazi propaganda.
Episode Notes:
Exodus 31:1-11 | Then the Lord s...2023-03-1255 minHow's Your Soul?Soul debtI've been thinking a lot about this concept called technical debt. It's when developers and software engineers create code that isn't ideal and may have problems but is a short-term solution to hit a deadline or push a release. The more I think about it the more I find parallels to how our souls operate in our day to day. This episode is an exploration of what "Soul Debt" is, how we can understand it, and what are the ramifications for unpacking our past to help define our future.
Technical Debt - Building on a foundation of c...2022-11-0829 minHow's Your Soul?Pursue great over goodThis is a short episode for you. I wanted to explore what it means for us to pursue great things over good things. I often find that good things are easy to come by, and most of our days are spent pursuing such things, but great things take time, sacrifice, diligence, discipline, and focus. It's a good reminder to pull back, evaluate our day-to-day, and choose to pursue great things.
Music - Chillicon Valley by Samurai Royal2022-11-0112 minHow's Your Soul?How the best handle powerI'm stoked for this episode. It's a long one, but a good one. I wanted to unpack the idea of power and how it interacts with the human soul, both from the perspective of those in power and those impacted by power. This episode tackles how we perceive power, how power draws the soul, the impact of power, the restraint of power, and ultimately how to handle the responsibility of power. It's a wild ride, a few soap box moments, and even some unfiltered passion, but hopefully it sparks a conversation so desperately needed in our community.
2022-10-2554 minHow's Your Soul?Seasons of communityHow does our soul experience community and what role does community play in our day to day? It often feels as though community comes and goes, perhaps in cycles, putting us in a position to yet again go out and seek new relationships. The cycle of community can become tiresome, frustrating, and challenging. What does it look like to root ourselves in a local community? What are the benefits of becoming vulnerable to those around us and diving deep to connect at a soul level?
Episode Notes:
Diverse community can pull you...2022-10-1845 minHow's Your Soul?Music that moves the soulMusic is a fundamental part of the human experience. Some of our deepest memories involve music. We often use music to entertain, ponder, grieve, and rejoice, for weddings, funerals, events, etc. How does our soul truly interact with music? Why does our soul need it? What role does worship play in connecting with God?

Episode Notes:
1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NIV) - “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to b...2022-10-0449 minHow's Your Soul?Remember where you came fromThe past can be a difficult place to ponder. Full of regret, bitterness, and locked-up pain... the soul can wrestle with unpacking the past. But there is something profound about those who face their history, recognize the brutal facts, and are able to uncover wisdom for the future. It's a discipline, no doubt, but the healing to the soul may be worth the cost.
Episode Notes:
We can gain valuable insight into our future if we are willing to wrestle with our past.
Three places our souls benefit from remembering...2022-09-2728 minHow's Your Soul?Infinite graceGrace is a necessary component for the soul to heal. It mends the soul, allows love and care to embellish the soul, and moves us to a place of receptivity to learn and grow alongside others. And yet, fully embracing grace can also potentially lead us to complacency, living outside of wisdom, and abusing the infinite grace given to us. So the question becomes, "How can the soul become disciplined enough to accept grace when we fall short of ourselves and God, without using grace as a crutch to become comfortable in our shortcomings?"
E...2022-09-2049 minHow's Your Soul?The soul's desire for accountabilityAccountability is often met with strong emotions from past experiences. It's a word that imposes deep vulnerability and opens the door to manipulation, shame, and guilt. The wounds left on the soul cast doubt on trust and intimacy in future relationships. But can accountability be done differently, and does the soul ultimately desire deep relationships grounded in the concept of accountability?
Episode Notes:
James 5:16 (NIV) - Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful...2022-09-1336 minHow's Your Soul?Love yourself"Love others as yourself". So often the emphasis and focus are placed on how we ought to love others but rarely do we dive into how we ought to love ourselves. To love our soul is not the end but rather an invitation to love others. So how do we love ourselves without becoming self-consumed?
Episode Notes:
Mark 12:31 (NIV) - "The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Matthew 22:39 (NIV) - "And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"

Life is often full of risk and adventure, but God understands the soul also needs rest. The trick is to find a balance in which life embodies both risk and rest while doing it with people you love and within a community you trust.

Episode Notes:
Philippians 1:21 (NIV) - “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

When we think about death, our souls wrestle with the concept of fragility and finality.

The answer is often found in the repetitious nature of humanity from past to present. The soul has been hardened by generations of cyclical chaos, and it would go unchanged until a man named Jesus would begin inviting people to become new humans.
Episode Notes:
There are general two camps of thought on the intrinsic nature of the soul: You are born good and learn evil or you are born evil and learn good. This becomes a fundamental worldview as we often designate ourselves as good...2022-08-0944 minHow's Your Soul?LonelinessLoneliness is our soul's cry for intimacy. We can be surrounded by friends and family yet feel detached and abandoned. We can be married for many years and yet feel alone. We can pursue deep community with others, yet something about the soul's origin desires to be connected with the divine. What is loneliness? And why does our soul express it?
Episode Notes:
Loneliness is the soul’s cry for intimacy
Seasons of life can produce loneliness, regardless of your relationship status, friend group, family, etc.
Loneliness isn’t sup...2022-08-0239 minHow's Your Soul?Pace of soulDrive and passion have become buzzwords for success. We are told to give 110%, become relentless, and have grit. Society has become faster, information is immediate, and life is purposed towards convenience. But what is the soul was made to exist in the silence and solitude. That health and well-being are in slowing down, not speeding up. What is the pace our soul desires?

Episode Notes:
Mission feeds a sense of accomplishment, that I can do something outside of simply myself. That I can be a part of something bigger.
Mission gives purpose to the soul.
We strive for clarity in confusion, it's uncomfortable not to have a mission or feel a clear sense of direction. T...2022-07-1959 min

What good could come from focusing our attention on the kingdom of God when decisions and direction are based on our current resources, time, and talent?
Episode Notes:
Historically there is a belief that our soul was created with eternity in mind.
Some of the earliest and most popular understandings of this ideology can be seen in the Egyptians' sacred ritual practice of mummification.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) | “He has made everything beautiful in its time. H...2022-07-0533 minHow's Your Soul?The purpose of workDo we simply work to live? Is it a resource to spend on things we enjoy and people we love? It is a means to an end... or is it an end in and of itself? How we choose to see work will greatly impact the health of our souls.

Many find it easier to distort truth so their soul can cope with the pain. What does it mean to face truth and live in light of it?

However, I do find it to be a useful exercise to think differently about stories we have grown so accustomed to hearing a particular way.

A short burst of much-needed pleasure, fueling the hedonistic soul, how bad can it really be?

Is life meant to co-exist with them, or is there an alternative? Jesus claims to offer abundant life, but how does that work in a world consumed by anxiety and depression?
Episode Notes:
Statistics on anxiety and depression:
Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. (https://adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/facts-statistics & https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/any-anxiety-disorder)

Episode Notes:
Anger often feels like relief but it is addictive emotion our souls will hunger and thirst for.
Anger is not a sin but exposes what you really love.
Healing often requires forgiveness and grace.
Jonah 4:1-4 (NIV) | But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was st...2022-05-3134 minHow's Your Soul?Freedom of forgiveness (feat. Jonathan Vazquez)Wounds often come from those closest to us. Forgiveness is meant to heal the soul, but how we understand forgiveness makes all the difference.
*Apologies for the city soundscape in the background. At times, I dig it, but it occasionally serves as a distraction.
Episode Notes:
Common misconceptions to the process of forgiveness:
Forgiving = Accepting | We accept people for the good they do.
Forgiving = Excusing | We excuse people by no longer holding them accountable for something.
Forgiving = Tolerating | We tolerate what another has done when we overlook or ignore it...2022-05-2434 minHow's Your Soul?Double troubleShame and guilt. Two often unnoticed powers at play with our soul. We either allow them to refine us or consume us.
*During the episode, I mentioned the "podcast" ended when I was referring to the episode itself. I guess you'll have to put up with me for a little longer ;)
Episode Notes:
Shame & guilt can drive you towards healing but they can also do the exact opposite.
Left untouched, shame & guilt are very much like parasites.
Shame destroys Identity
Guilt destroys...2022-05-1735 minHow's Your Soul?The state of your soulThe wounds of your soul can drive your life, impact relationships, affect how we see ourselves, and can distort truth. So, how do we heal?
Episode Notes:
There are often two perspectives when it comes to healing: Physical vs. Spiritual
Spiritual = Relationship with God, recognizing sin, repentance, vulnerability, etc.
Physical = Hitting the gym, quitting drinking, training for a marathon, getting out to hike, etc.

Episode Notes:
There is a scary reality that a relationship with Jesus takes hard work.
There is an even scarier reality that I can’t do it apart from the church.

I know your deeds, your hard work a...2022-05-0335 minHow's Your Soul?Goodbye discipleshipThe last commandment given by Jesus was a call to intimate relationships. It's a life of vulnerability and trust. We call it discipleship.
Episode Notes:
Matthew 28:16-20 | Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the So...2022-04-2634 minHow's Your Soul?Too big to failWhen a church is no longer willing to take risks for fear of losing people or losing momentum it begins to rely on past success rather than the cornerstone it was built on, Christ.
Episode Notes:
There is a fundamental problem with church = brand. The church = people and people are unique.
Obstacles that church leaders used to face head-on become obstacles that strike fear when a church has become too big to fail.
God is zealous for you.
A zealous God isn’t interested in status, siz...2022-04-1929 minHow's Your Soul?Addicted to growthWhen a church is addicted to growth, it stops focusing on who is showing up and starts focusing on who isn’t.
Episode Notes:
Ezekiel 37:1-14 - The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can...2022-04-1233 minHow's Your Soul?Humble beginningsIn the beginning. The mission is clear. The community is intimate. The leadership is humbled. But there is something about success that becomes a monster in its own way.
Episode notes:
Being a part of a church plant is a unique experience I wish anyone with a negative church experience could be a part of.
Church growth is a good thing but brings its own challenges and struggles that can cause people, specifically leaders, to lose sight of what is most important.
To those hurt by the church, I...2022-04-0531 min
