Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 19 - The Invitation to More Pt. 2Welcome Friends, we're so glad you're here! In this episode, we continue our conversation around the invitation to More with the themes of lack and abundance, but in Part 2 we’re using the language of empty (emptied) and full (filled, fullness). This language reminds me of when my daughters were in preschool. They learned at a young age, this idea of ‘filling up your bucket,' with the things (including people and places) that make us feel good and help us experience fullness. When your bucket is empty, it refers to being depleted, tired and feeling not so go...2024-03-2338 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 18 - The Invitation to MoreI trust God, but I don't always trust God. Yikes, that feels vulnerable to say out loud! So glad you're here for a great conversation about how we are invited to a life of More (i.e., peace, love, connection) and yet, so often we find ourselves living from a place of lack (i.e., resources, time, energy). Grace and mercy abound as we talk about the hard stuff in our newest episode. Blessings Friends!References: Kate Bowler (Blog, 2019, When Lent Prepares Us for What is Lost)Kate Bowler and Jessica Ric...2024-02-2437 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 16 - When Hope Feels FragileAs we (Liz and Cari) were sitting down to start preparing for this episode, we were both feeling nudged to have a conversation around hope. In part, because we are entering the Advent season, preparing for Christmas which is meant to be a time of hope. Yet, as we look at the world around us, hope feels fragile and the emotions of hopelessness and despair perhaps more prevalant. So, we’re going to wrestle with this tension while we wonder how to hold on to hope in a weary world. Holding the following questions loosely as we sit in th...2023-11-2542 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 14 - The Wisdom of Emotions / Head and Heart ConnectionHello Friends and Welcome to the Reclaim-App Podcast. Thank you for being here! We’re looking forward to our conversation today on The Wisdom of Emotions/Head and Heart Connection. A favourite topic of both Liz and Cari :) As we begin this new podcast season, our deepest hope continues to be, creating space for connection, while experiencing faith and life together. So emotions seemed like a good place to start since emotions are something we all experience throughout our life as human beings. They immediately connect us to our “human sameness” (Henry Nouwen). And they have huge impacts...2023-09-3054 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 13 - Questions People Ask JesusToday we start a new series entitled, Questions People Ask Jesus. What’s so amazing to me is that the questions people asked Jesus over 2000 years ago are still questions we ask today. How do we live in the tension of these questions that never seem to go away? In this episode we’re asking...Who Is My Neighbour?

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 12 - Q&A w/ Cari & Liz Pt.1Today, we invite you on a journey through some light-hearted questions to give a glimpse into our stories - as a way to know us better. Who are Liz and Cari? Or, Cari and Liz? We’re going to share with you, not only a bit about who we are, but also why we do what we do and what has shaped us and our stories. Don’t worry if you’d prefer to have a conversation about the tougher stuff - we’ll be back to asking the hard questions in our next episodes.We p...2023-05-0642 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 11 - Soul Feast - The Road to EasterHello Friends and welcome to our final episode in our Lenten Series, Soul Feast. We have a great conversation in store as we travel on the road to Easter this weekend; through Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday.Although this tends to be a time of year primarily marked by celebration, the first Easter wasn’t very celebratory. Rather it was quite dark and deeply painful.Christ is Risen! We say this triumphantly, yet, as we look around at our world and the messiness of our own lives, I’m not sure how t...2023-04-0639 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 10 - Soul Feast - Guilt and ConfessionIn our third episode of Soul Feast, we’re exploring the ideas of guilt and confession - wondering, what is at the root of our experience of feeling “guilty”? Another way of asking this is: “What is your emotion of “guilt” communicating to you? "Guilt is an emotion that we experience when we fall short of our own expectations or standards." - Brené BrownWhat about when our emotion of guilt is felt as falling short of God's expectations or standards?Liz & CariReferencesBrené Brown - Atlas of the HeartMark McMinn...2023-03-2441 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 9 - Soul Feast - Sin and ShameIn our Lenten series, Soul Feast, we’re using the dual lens of Counselling Therapist (Liz Kahle) and Christian Spirituality (Pastor Cari) in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of what our soul is, how to become more aware of our soul, and what it may be communicating to us right now.The basic definition we’re using for the soul comes from the work of Ruth Haley-Barton who defines the soul as the core of our very selves. Which we would add, points to our truest identity.It’s within this context that w...2023-03-1151 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 7 - God in the Ordinary - Mindfulness and MeditationIn this episode, we continue to look at spiritual rhythms and God in the Ordinary, as we have a conversation about mindfulness and meditation. These two practices invite us into a non-judgemental place of awareness. Helping us grow and transform our capacity for connection as well as compassion of self, others, and our Creator.We are God’s beloved. This is our truest self. That’s often easier to say than it is to believe and know - and maybe hardest to allow that truth to sink into our bones and be our breath.If we p...2023-02-1242 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 6 - God in the Ordinary - Prayer and SolitudeWelcome back friends! Once again, we're dancing our way through a conversation on spiritual rhythms, as we seek to find connection with God in the Ordinary. The “unforced rhythms of grace” that flow from our lives are meant to feel as natural as breathing. Yet, rarely is creating healthy and long-lasting habits, patterns or rhythms - quick and easy. Even getting started can be a struggle!Join us as we consider the blessings and challenges of two spiritual rhythms that are near and dear to our hearts...Prayer and Solitude.Lots of references this...2023-01-2131 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 5 - God in the OrdinaryIn this episode, we discuss 'rhythms' - looking specifically at spiritual rhythms (or spiritual disciplines).Rhythms are the ways we intentionally seek spaces of connection with God, each other, and ourselves. The new year is always a good time to pause, reflect and consider how our habits, patterns, routines, and ways of being are serving us or not.Sometimes, rather than sensing growth, transformation, joy and peace - the rhythms of our life can feel like a burden, obligation, and duty. Leaving us spinning in discouragement and even self-condemnation. Words like disciplines, exercises, and behaviours...2023-01-1432 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 4 - Grief Welcomed - Joy in the DarknessDuring the season of Advent, joy is an important part of our waiting and anticipation for Jesus’ coming – to restore – to heal – to save.However, if we’re honest, joy may not be as easy to cultivate or as comfortable as we’d like it to be – or think it should be. Joy can often feel fleeting and imaginary. Even in the midst of some of our most joyous moments – we can find ourselves cautiously waiting for the other shoe to drop.It’s this strange tension that we’re going to talk about today as we look at the id...2022-12-1744 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 3 - Grief EmbodiedIn this 3rd episode of our series, we look at the difficult emotion of grief and share how grief has been experienced in our stories. Although grief is a natural human response to loss and something we will each experience in our lifetime; we may not always be aware of it and may find more often than not that it surprises us.What makes grief especially hard is that it’s a journey and not a short sprint, but often more like a marathon - with twists and turns and unexpected bumps along the way. How can we...2022-12-1033 min

Reclaim-App PodcastEp. 2 - Loneliness WelcomedLast week we sat with the difficult and uncomfortable space of 'loneliness.'
