TypologyRevisit: Finding Your Inner Encourager with Julianne Cusick (Enneagram 1)As Richard Rohr says, Ones are childlike and full of joy and wonder at the world and creation. But for Ones, that sense of joy has been lost. Instead, they suppress their own feelings and focus on being good and doing what is right. They feel a sense of duty and responsibility and may harbor resentment toward others who don’t see things the right way – their way. But what would it look like if Ones reclaimed their childlike wonder? When Ones move toward health, they begin to let judgments go and become more at ease with imperfec...2023-07-1354 min(Extra) Ordinary PeopleAlligator Ecotoxicology & Reptile White Whales with Laura Kojima | 022Laura Kojima (she/her) is an alligator ecotoxicologist and reptile enthusiast who recently defended her master's at the University of Georgia.

Ex-it StrategyUnderstanding Parental AlienationIn this episodeThe idea around parental alienation is that one parent is doing things to alienate their child from the other parent. It could be saying bad things about the other parent, not allowing communication, restricting access, etc. Richard Gardner was the first one to coin this term. Here are a couple of facts about him:He had no research experience.It was based on nothing but clinical opinion. He was a part-time clinical professor as a psychoanalyst. And it was horrible. It was very misogynistic. He would always say 90% of the time, it was mothers alienating a fat...2022-08-0924 min

When it comes to the heart of God, God doesn't always stick to the understood rules of a mathematical equation. It seems counting and math work differently in the kingdom of God.
