Faith & FeelingsCultivating Healthy Conflict in RelationshipsThroughout any relationship, conflict is inevitable – and it can look different in different seasons or settings. A core discipleship issue in the new family of Jesus is learning how to resolve conflicts maturely. Often times, Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers” — are misunderstood to mean:
Avoid conflict at all costs so no one gets upset.
Just be nice.
Don’t disrupt the status quo by speaking up.
But this is a tragic misinterpretation of what peacemaking really is. In this episode, Carley and I explore how Jesus modeled true peacemaking with radical and disruptive kindness – a kindness that ch...2025-08-1129 minFaith & FeelingsClimbing the Ladder of IntegrityGod has shaped and crafted each of us uniquely—with our own personality, thoughts, dreams, temperament, feelings, talents, gifts, and desires. Parker Palmer calls this the ‘true seeds of self,' which God has planted inside of each of us as He invites us to listen to Him and to live faithfully out of our true selves in Christ.
When we don’t live in alignment with what we truly believe, think, or feel—or when we ignore our values—we violate our integrity. Something inside of us dies when we stay silent about our values and preference...2025-08-0434 minFaith & FeelingsA Week Without an Episode (Here’s Why!)Today’s episode is a little different.

2025-07-2803 minFaith & FeelingsBecoming Your Own Primary Caregiver with Julie Honeycutt, LPCIf you’ve been following along with our series on emotionally healthy relationships, this episode really serves as a kind of anchor—or container—for all the relational skills we’ve been exploring.
In my conversation with licensed therapist Julie Honeycutt, we dive into the inner work that makes healthy connection possible. We talk about the parts of us that show up in relationships, what it looks like to slow down and turn inward, and how we can begin building trust with ourselves instead of outsourcing our own growth & healing.
It’s a conversation about reactivity...2025-07-2136 minFaith & FeelingsLearning to Listen Is Learning to LoveAuthor and theologian David Augsburger once said, “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”
What it means to listen and love well can be best understood around the unfathomable mystery of the incarnation – that God took on human flesh. God knew that there was no better way to convey his love to human beings than to fully enter their world, and the life of Jesus teaches us three dynamics that characterize what it looks to incarnate in order to love people well.
In today’s episode...2025-07-1426 minFaith & FeelingsWhy Emotional Honesty Is Essential for Spiritual MaturityScripture teaches that feelings are a key part of what it means to be a human being made in God’s image.
When we’re not in touch with what is going on inside us, our thoughts and feelings can feel like inner chaos. A lack of engagement with our interior worlds can cause us to miss many gifts from God. When this happens, we’re not living in reality, but in illusion or denial. And when we are not living in reality, we are not in spirituality, because the authentic spiritual life is not an escape from re...2025-07-0727 minFaith & FeelingsEngaging Your Family of Origin StoryWe all come into the family of Jesus carrying wounds from a broken world and imperfect families.
God’s intention is to heal us, but we must first become aware of what needs to be changed in us. In this episode, my clinical supervisor Carley Marcouillier and I talk about how discipleship involves reflecting on both the positive and negative influences of our family of origin.
This is hard work. But the extent to which we can go back and understand how our history has shaped us will determine, to a large degree, our ability to...2025-06-3032 minFaith & FeelingsHow to Stop Mind Reading & Clarify ExpectationsThe stories we tell ourselves have an enormous impact on our feelings, and so often – especially in our relationships – we can tell ourselves stories that aren’t true.
Assumptions about what other people are thinking and feeling can quickly become hidden landmines in our relationships. In today’s episode, my clinical supervisor Carley Marcouillier and I unpack our second relational skill for emotionally healthy relationships. This skill has two parts to it: first, how to stop mind reading. And second, how to clarify expectations. I think you’re going to find this conversation both thought-provoking and really practical...2025-06-2333 minFaith & FeelingsA Simple Communication Skill for Deeper RelationshipsIf you’ve ever found yourself longing for deeper connection in your relationship but unsure how to get there, this episode is for you.
Today, my clinical supervisor, licensed therapist Carley Marcouillier, and I kick off our Emotionally Healthy Relationships summer series by introducing a simple, practical communication skill built around five prompts: appreciations, worries & concerns, complaints & possible solutions, new information, and hopes & wishes.
These prompts create space for safety, honesty, and emotional closeness within relationships. Whether this is your first time hearing about this skill or you’re looking for a fresh way to grow...2025-06-1626 minFaith & FeelingsJesus In Our Hearts, Grandpa in Our BonesIs Grandpa really in my bones?
We’re starting a new series on emotionally healthy relationships, and over the next eight weeks, I’ll be joined by my clinical supervisor and licensed therapist Carley Marcouillier to walk through 8 core relational skills that are essential for developing mature, loving relationships with others.
But this week, I wanted to spend a few minutes talking about why. Why are these skills are so important for us to learn? I talk about how we carry our family dynamics into all our relationships and the impact that community can have in fo...2025-06-0913 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 8 Trailer | Emotionally Healthy RelationshipsIn our next podcast series, I’ll be joined by my clinical supervisor, Carley Marcouillier, who is a licensed therapist, podcast host, and ministry leader. Together, we’re going to walk through 8 core relational skills that are essential for cultivating emotionally healthy relationships.
Over the course of eight episodes, we’re going to explore each skill, why it matters, and how to begin practicing it in everyday life. These are skills that we believe can transform the way you relate to those around you. I hope you’ll join us next week, as we talk about what it looks li...2025-06-0203 minFaith & FeelingsExperiencing Jesus in Guided PrayerTo wrap up our current series, I wanted to offer something a little different today:
A guided time of prayer— called Imaginative Prayer—that can help us enter into a deeper experience of God. This form of contemplative prayer dates back the early church mothers and fathers. When we engage in this kind of prayer, we use our imaginations to place ourselves within a scene from Scripture, particularly in the life of Jesus. I hope you'll join me as we walk onto the scene of Matthew 6:30-42 and ask the Spirit to speak to us through this story.

This is the heart of what’s called attachment theory and affects our relationship with ourselves, others, and even our relationships with God.
I’m so honored to welcome today’s guest, Summer Joy Gross. Summer is a spiritual director, Anglican priest, and writer who weaves neuroscience, attachment theory, and spiritual practices to help us root ourselves in God’s presence and nearness.
In this conversation, Summer walks us through each of the 4 attachment styles, sh...2025-05-1943 min

https://www.taylorjoymurray.co/2025-05-1950 minFaith & FeelingsHow to Tell the Difference Between Shame & Conviction with Monica DiCristina, LPCHave you ever struggled to name the pain you’re experiencing inside?
When we don’t have language for the pain we carry, we can create other names for it — names like “not good enough,” “unworthy,” “broken,” or “wrong.” Many of us often avoid naming and validating our pain out of fear of being overwhelmed or feeling stuck in it. But what if the opposite is actually true? What if this is actually the first step towards healing?
This is what author and therapist Monica DiCristina and I talk about today. Monica beautifully shows us that, while not every wo...2025-05-1226 minFaith & FeelingsExperiencing God’s Presence in Deep Emotional Wounds with Terry WardleSo many of us long for transformation, but we feel discouraged and defeated by the issues that keep coming up... over and over again.
We pray, read our Bibles, go to church, worship, and yet still feel stuck. Why is this? Often the tools we're given within the church leave us wondering if we're missing something or if something is wrong with us. Is it us? Is it them? Is it God? Why is lasting change so elusive?
This is what author, speaker, and founder of Healing Care Ministries Terry Wardle and I talk about today. B...2025-05-0534 minFaith & Feelings7 Spiritual Practices for Everyday LifeAs we practice receiving and remaining in God’s love, the question becomes this: how are we responding and loving Him back? And not necessarily in the big moments, but in the small and ordinary moments of every day life.
We all move in patterns that we have set up over time, day by day. These habits and practices shape our loves, our desires, and ultimately, who and what we worship. So what habits and practices can we take up that are aiming our love and desires towards God?
In this episode, I share 7 spiritual prac...2025-04-2817 minFaith & FeelingsDiscovering the Security of a Life Held by God with Stephanie StewartWhat if you could walk into every room knowing—deep in your bones—that you are safe, seen, soothed, and secure? Not because of the what’s happening around you, but because the face of Jesus is always turned toward you? Always attentive. Always connected.
This is what writer, artist, and soul care provider Stephanie Stewart and I talk about today. Stephanie invites us into her own journey of discovering a relationship with God that heals and grounds us. A kind of interactive relationship that is conversational, requiring reciprocity – and just like any other relationship – a turning towards one...2025-04-2139 minFaith & FeelingsWhen You Feel Unworthy of God's Goodness with Chesed DentWe all have these complicated tangles of belief, identity, and narrative, and one of the early stories many of us often begin telling ourselves is a one of our own scarcity.
“Maybe I don’t matter.” "Maybe I’m not good enough.” “Maybe I’m not worthy of love, belonging, and joy.”
When we bring these stories of scarcity with us into our relationships with God, we may ache for nourishment and grace, but we find ourselves living out of a place of exhaustion and starvation. We come to God’s table with a deep sense of unwort...2025-04-1430 minFaith & FeelingsThe God We Meet in Our StoriesEven though you’ve heard God described as full of compassion and always present, do you sometimes feel confused as to why you experience him as distant, disapproving, or absent?
Our experiences, from childhood to adulthood, shape the internal pictures we hold about God—sometimes in ways we don’t even realize. In this episode, I share stories of 4 different women, and how they each came to experience God differently based on their life experiences.
These stories are taken and adapted from a chapter in Sensible Shoes, a bestselling novel written by last week’s guest Sha...2025-04-0724 min
Up Until Now with Kristen Hallinan: Healing | Redemption | HopeTaylor Joy Murray on "Stop Saying I'm Fine"Truth Bomb: Saying “I’m fine” is the easy way out, and it’s robbing us of the connection we all crave. In this powerful conversation, Kristen Hallinan and Taylor Joy Murray dive into the hidden struggles behind anxiety, the disconnect between how we appear and what we truly feel, and why honesty with ourselves—and with God—is the first step toward healing. From the role of spiritual warfare to the integration of faith and therapy, they unpack what it means to stop masking pain and start embracing true freedom. If you're ready t...2025-04-0132 minFaith & FeelingsWhy Is It Hard to Receive Love From God? with Sharon Garlough BrownSo many of us long to rest in God’s love, but we feel at war with actually receiving it. Why do we resist the very thing that we claim we want?
This is what author and spiritual director Sharon Garlough Brown and I talk about today. Sharon graciously invites into her own story of exhaustion and striving to meet her perceptions of God’s expectations for faithfulness, to learning what it looks like to live out of the abundance and generosity of His heart. She shares such beautiful moments along her journey where God has invited her...2025-03-3135 minFaith & FeelingsExperiencing the Kind Presence of GodJust like any other relationship, intimacy with God isn’t something that can be forced or manufactured.
It’s the byproduct of a genuine desire to know God and be known by Him. But before we can really desire God, we must have a clearer understanding of who God is and what he is like. Our experiences shape our experiences of God, often forming and informing a flawed or incomplete vision of who God is that isn’t just intellectual or cognitive, but that is enstoried and deeply embedded in our hearts and bodies.
In this epi...2025-03-2413 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 7 Trailer | From Knowing to Experiencing GodHave you ever felt like you know about God—but you don’t really know Him? Like you’re going through the motions of faith but longing for something deeper, something real?
In this next podcast series, we’ll explore what it means to move beyond conceptual knowledge about God and into personal encounter — to truly experience God’s presence, hear His voice, and be transformed by His love. We’ll hear from guests who will share their stories towards deeper intimacy with God, and I’m also going to be introducing us to spiritual rhythms that I’ve found to be...2025-03-1702 minFaith & FeelingsHow to Practice Self-Awareness in RelationshipsWhat messages did you receive about self-awareness as a child?
Many of us grew up in environments that did not nurture self-awareness. Over the years, we’ve practiced disconnecting from our tears, grief, desires, or sensitivity. And not only disconnect, but we’ve learned to reject or criticize these feelings or experiences within ourselves.
In this episode, I talk about how these ruptures that exist within us can cause the ruptures that happen between us. I also share some reflections on why relationships are the primary place where we can learn and practice self-awareness, as well...2025-03-1014 minFaith & FeelingsWhy Self-Awareness Leads to Deeper Intimacy With God with T.J. MacLeslieAt the heart of the spiritual journey is relationship.
Growing in self-awareness is not an end in itself, but the heart and the means to deeper intimacy with God. As author and ministry leader T.J. MacLeslie and I talk about today, Christian spirituality involves a transformation of the self that occurs only when God and self are both deeply known.
In this episode, T.J. generously invites us into his story as he shows us why the spiritual journey is so much more than conceptually knowing God, but experiencing encountering Him. He shares how...2025-03-0340 minFaith & FeelingsSorting Through the Competing Voices in Your Mind with Gem Fadling"You're not good enough.” "You need to try harder." "You’ll never keep up.” “There isn’t enough time.”
These are the sorts of voices that can hum just beneath the surface of our minds, pushing us to act in unsustainable and frantic ways. So many of us long for the peace that comes with a life marked my internal calm and groundedness, but we feel gripped by anxiety. We don’t know what to do with these unhelpful thoughts circling within. How do we make sense of this inner chatter? And how do we settle enough to hear God’s...2025-02-2437 minFaith & FeelingsHow to Begin Listening to Your Body (And Why It’s So Hard to Do)God designed our bodies to tell us incredibly important things when it comes to growing and healing.
In fact, I believe that one of the primary places we can grow in self-awareness is not books or podcasts or personality tests...but learning to listen to our own bodies. Why is this? Our bodies know more than our minds often do. And they are constantly speaking, revealing truth about what’s happening in the present or what happened to us in the past.
In this week’s episode, I explain why it’s so important to listen...2025-02-1717 minFaith & FeelingsLearning to Listen to the Story Your Body Is Telling with Chuck DeGroatWhile the work of self-awareness begins with pursuing a better understanding of our lives and stories, so many of us can stop there.
As licensed therapist, author, and professor Chuck DeGroat and I talk about today, we often keep this awareness in past-tense, not understanding how our bodies are still holding these stories. We can ignore symptoms and bodily sensations like hypervigilance, sleeplessness, or exhaustion telling us the story of where we really are. And our bodies never lie. They often give us the best data about what’s happening within.
Chuck brings such beautiful sto...2025-02-1028 minFaith & FeelingsHow to Process Complicated Emotions with Anjuli PaschallFor most of us, feelings are messy.
Oftentimes, we don’t have words for what we’re feeling, and we get stuck in a dark and painful place. Because emotions can be complicated, we have so many strategies to not feel what we feel. But this often leaves us with a sense of numbness. We feel confused and chopped up inside.
Giving our feelings language is like turning on the lights. It’s how we begin to wake up to wholeness, to beauty, and to our own hearts again. Learning to notice, name, and process what we’...2025-02-0330 minFaith & FeelingsWhen Crisis Invites You to Encounter the Deepest Parts of Yourself with Josh SummersWhile Josh and his family was doing ministry in China, he was detained and interrogated by authorities and had no idea if or when he would be released.
In this week’s episode, Josh graciously shares some of his journey with self-awareness, and how this unexpected crisis led him to a deeper encounter with with himself.
While few of us will share the particularities of his experience, I think Josh beautifully puts words to the inner disorientation that all kinds of crises bring: feelings of shock and shame and a deep disrupting of identity. He tra...2025-01-2737 minFaith & FeelingsIt's What You Do With Self-Awareness That MattersOne of the things that I’ve learned about self-awareness over the last few years is that self-awareness is something we can choose, but it’s also something that happens to us.
It comes at certain points in our lives without our consent, experiences of pain and crisis often becoming the catalyst for this deeper awakening. While I don’t hold to the idea that God causes crisis and suffering, I do know that these things come along, and God uses them. He often uses them to facilitate our own encounter with some of the deepest parts of our...2025-01-2018 minFaith & FeelingsWhy Self-Awareness Changes EverythingWhen I reflect on my own journey over the last 7 or 8 years, I can’t think of something that has changed my life, my relationship with God, others, or even myself more than self-awareness.
I truly believe that pursuing a deeper understanding of our own hearts and stories is one of the most spiritually formative and transformative things we could ever do. That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to join me in this new series on the podcast called “How Can I Be More Self-Aware?”
In this episode, I talk about what speci...2025-01-1315 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 6 Trailer | How Can I Be More Self-Aware?How well do you know yourself?
Growing in self-awareness is probably one of the hardest, but most important things we could ever do. Why? The short answer is this: you can’t change what you don’t know. But one of the trickiest things about self-awareness is that most of us are on autopilot and don't even know it.
So many of us are moving through life and not paying attention. We’re living by default... numb and disconnected from our hearts. I know what it’s like to feel like you’re going through the motions...2025-01-0603 minFaith & FeelingsWhen Your Spiritual Growth Feels Frustratingly Slow with Chip (Replay)I think that everyone could testify to how imperceptibly incremental our spiritual growth can feel in some areas of our lives.
If you’re like me, you’ve often felt a disconnect between the theology that that you believe and the reactions that leak out of you in everyday life. Even though you know something is true in your head, it doesn’t seem to be shaping your heart or steering your hands.
In this conversation with a family friend, Chip, he shares a recent story of dysregulation that puts words to all of these tension...2024-12-3033 minFaith & FeelingsWhen You Feel Betrayed by God with Jessica (Replay)So many of us have experienced a before and after.
A “before” you knew that life was fragile… and an “after.” When you can’t go back. You can’t un-know. You are changed. In this episode, my friend Jess joins me to share about her recent miscarriage journey. Although Jess shares about the loss of a child, she speaks to the emotional undercurrent of loss in a way that I think will deeply resonate with many different experiences of sorrow.
In a week full of holiday celebration, the complexity of holding both grief and joy together ca...2024-12-2334 minFaith & Feelings"Am I Safe if I Trust God?" with Jennifer (Replay)One of the hardest questions to answer in life is not “Does God exist?” but “Is God kind?”
Sometimes, unspeakable things happen at the hands of others. Trauma of any kind often shatters are capacity to trust ourselves, God others, and the world around us. When we feel left in our pain, holding more questions than answers, it can feel like we’ve been given the raw data that God is not good.
In this conversation, my Jennifer joins me to share her story of spiritual and sexual abuse from a church leader. Through her lived expe...2024-12-1636 minFaith & FeelingsWhen It Feels Like You Don't Belong with Amina (Replay)How we walk into room will always carry evidence of our formation.
The way we act, if we get big or small, whether our voices soften or louden, if our shoulders hunch or straighten, whether we anticipate acceptance or brace for unbelonging...it all tells a story. A story about something we’ve lived. In those moments when it feels like you don’t fit in and that shame-filled question wells up inside... “why can’t I just be normal like everyone else?” ....there’s always a deeper question: what is your definition of “normal”? Where did it come from, an...2024-12-0932 minFaith & FeelingsWhen Everything Seems Out of Sorts with David Floge, LPC (Replay)Have you ever wondered why you get dysregulated?
Another way to describe this term is the inability to control your insides. It’s those moments when everything seems out of sorts. All of us experience emotional dysregulation. But, so often, we can get dysregulated without even realizing it. So, how do we begin to notice & listen to what are bodies are trying to tell us? In this episode with licensed therapist David Floge, we talk about what emotional dysregulation is, what it can feel like in our bodies, and practical ways to self-regulate.
This conversation is...2024-12-0234 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 5 Trailer | Podcast Reflections + Most Popular Episodes of 2024With 2024 coming to a close, I’ve been reflecting on this first year of Faith & Feelings.

Because of this, we are ending the year with tens of thousands of downloads and an actively growing community of listeners. And I just want to say thank you.

To stay in control of our own mind and feelings.
While we can’t change the person, we can learn ways of interacting with emotionally immature people without sacrificing or losing parts of ourselves. When we learn how to keep an observational perspective, we can stay centered, no matter how the other person behaves. This also helps to keep us in our thinking brain instead of falling into our emotions or a fight-or-flight reaction.
In this episode, I talk about 3 three practical steps fo...2024-11-1814 minFaith & FeelingsSigns That You Might Be Hitting the WallHitting a wall is not an if, but when.
We all have this experience, typically several times throughout our lives. Suddenly, the ways that we learned to cope with childhood wounds and unmet needs begin begin to fail us in adulthood. Unhealthy coping patterns catch up with us. Our souls often begin summoning us to a deeper, inner change through emotional or physical symptoms like panic, anxiety, depression, anger, a continual sense of low-grade agitation, addictions, or other dysfunctional attempts to numb our pain.
We feel stuck. We want to change, but we don’t kno...2024-11-1116 minFaith & FeelingsWhat It Feels Like to Be an InternalizerAre patterns from your past impacting how you show up to your life and relationships today?
How we learned to cope with childhood wounds and unmet needs often become the dysfunctional patterns that we live out in adulthood. This is one way that the impact of emotionally immature parenting can leak into our adult lives.
Healing starts with noticing and naming these patterns. When we invite God’s spirit into this process, change begins. I talk about 2 ways that we may have reacted to emotionally immature parenting as children (internalizing or externalizing our pain), and ho...2024-11-0416 minFaith & FeelingsHow Memories Shape Core Beliefs in Early ChildhoodFrom the time we entered the world, we all began crafting a story that helped us make sense and give meaning to the painful things that happened to us.
As we absorbed explicit and implicit messages from family members, authority figures, and peers about who we were and what the world expected of us, we gradually began forming a narrative that explained our lives to us… a narrative that grooved itself deeply into our hearts. This story helped us, as children, to know what we needed to be and what we needed to do to stay safe in...2024-10-2816 minFaith & Feelings4 Types of Emotionally Immature ParentsWe all need someone who reads us well and believes in us.
This is the essence of what security feels like in a relationship: knowing that the other person sees you, understands you, and celebrates who you are. But what happens if you didn’t receive this kind of nurturing love as a child?
There is essentially one way to provide this kind nurturing love that we all need to develop and thrive, but there are many ways to frustrate a child’s need for love. I talk about 3 things every child needs from their pare...2024-10-2116 minFaith & FeelingsWhy Anger Is a Surprising FriendMany of us have a confusing relationship with anger.
Anger is a complex emotion that can create significant internal conflict, fueling both guilt and fear. Similar to anxiety, it’s a powerful force that can do great harm and also has great value. It’s such a physical emotion, and we can feel anger in our bodies with incredibly intensity. In this episode, I talk about 4 ways that that we tend to avoid anger, how we learned these strategies (and why they actually make sense), and practical ways that we can start to befriend and create space for...2024-10-1415 minFaith & FeelingsPersonality Traits Associated With Emotional ImmaturityIf emotional immaturity could be summed up in a sentence, it might be this: “it’s not me, it’s you.”
People who are emotionally immature often engage in inappropriate or harmful behavior, and then revert to altering their perceptions of reality to fit what makes sense to them. They lack emotional sensitivity, are self-preoccupied, and often cause others to question reality instead of taking responsibility for their actions. In other words: “It’s your fault for what I did, not mine.”
Personality patterns of emotional immaturity can be devastating to families and relationships. So how does emotion...2024-10-0718 minFaith & FeelingsThe Reason Why You Feel Emotionally LonelyEmotional loneliness is the kind of loneliness that you can feel even in the presence of others.
It results from a lack of emotional connection, and it can sometimes be even more painful than being physically alone. It’s that feeling of being unseen… a vague and private experience, not easy to recognize or find words for. While just as wounding as a physical injury, emotional loneliness is less obvious because doesn’t show on the outside.
So many of us experience emotional loneliness. But what exactly is it? And where does it come from? To con...2024-09-3017 minFaith & Feelings15 Characteristics of an Emotionally Mature PersonHave you ever longed to be seen and known as the person you truly are? To share anything with someone and know that you’ll be understood, accepted, and validated?
Emotional responsiveness is the single most essential ingredient of human relationships. Our relationships are built and sustained through emotional intimacy, and the feeling that someone is interested in taking time to listen and truly understand our experiences. But what happens if your parents were distant or emotionally unavailable? How did this impact you as a child? And how do these experiences continue to impact you as an ad...2024-09-2316 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 4 Trailer | Adult Children of Emotionally Immature ParentsAlthough we’re used to thinking of adults as more mature than their children, what if some children come into the world, and within a few years, are more emotionally mature than their parents?
In this next Faith & Feeling’s podcast series called “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents,” we’re going to talk about the ways that emotionally immature parents impact their children’s lives. Through these episodes, you’ll discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion that come from having a parent who refuses emotional intimacy. You’ll also gain some insight into possible reasons w...2024-09-1601 minFaith & FeelingsHow Your Relationship With Your Parents Shaped Your Relationship With GodWhy does God sometimes feel so far away? The reason for this could be your attachment style.
We all experience moments when God's love and presence are tangible. But we can also experience feeling utterly abandoned by God. Why? In this episode, I talk about how your early childhood experiences and attachment (or emotional bond) that you developed with your primary caregivers can influence your relationship with God.
Some of us have parents that make imagining a loving Father more difficult, and some of us have parents that make it easier. I describe each of t...2024-09-0922 minFaith & FeelingsHow Your Relationship With Your Parents Shaped Your Ability to Regulate Your EmotionsDo you get easily dysregulated? Or struggle to get back to a regulated state when you are dysregulated?
There’s a reason for that. In this episode, I connect your present experiences of dysregulation to your relationship — or attachment — with your primary caregivers when you were growing up. You’ll see how the emotional environment that you were raised in, and the ways that your parents interacted with and responded to you, shaped the way your brain learned to regulate emotions. I also talk about what secure attachment is, how to know if you developed a secure attachme...2024-09-0220 minFaith & Feelings"I Have to Be Perfect to Be Loved" with EllenWe all have deep and inherent need for love and acceptance.
But, as children, what happens when unconditional love and acceptance were not freely given? In small ways, many of us learn that a “packaging of self” is what is necessary to find approval and affirmation in the eyes of others. As we begin to develop and experience life in the context of our closest relationships and social circles, we learn that we are liked and accepted by constructing a version of ourselves that puts us in the most flattering light. Maybe if we help enough.

But we all have those experiences of being unseen. Un-chosen. When care was not given. When no one came. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to stop listening to our gut instincts. We learned to grit it out and turn off the messages of our healthy needs. We stopped crying out. We no longer asked for help because we didn’t want to be a burd...2024-08-1232 minFaith & FeelingsHealing From the Trauma of Growing up Too Soon with JonathanWhat happens when the circumstances of life force you to grow up too quickly & shoulder a weight of responsibility or caretaking far beyond your developmental age? When our bodies carry the story of an interrupted adolescence into adulthood, how can this kind of trauma impact us? And how do we begin to heal?
In this conversation, my friend Jonathan shares a recent experience of dysregulation: a chest-tightening, drowning sensation when too many people around him needed too many things. Together, Jonathan and I process how this everyday moment with his family strikingly paralleled some of his childhood...2024-08-0534 minFaith & FeelingsWhen It Feels Like You Don't Belong With AminaHow we walk into a room will always carry evidence of our formation.
The way we act, if we get big or small, whether our voices soften or louden, if our shoulders hunch or straighten, whether we anticipate acceptance or brace for unbelonging...it all tells a story. A story about something we’ve lived.
In those moments when it feels like you don’t fit in and that shame-filled question wells up inside, “why can’t I just be normal like everyone else?”, there’s always a deeper question: what is your definition of “normal”? Where...2024-07-2932 minFaith & FeelingsWhen Everything Seems Out of Sorts with David Floge, LPCWe are in a series on Faith & Feelings all about emotional dysregulation. Another way to describe this term is the inability to control your insides. It’s those moments when everything seems out of sorts. All of us experience emotional dysregulation, but so many of us can get dysregulated without even realizing it.
Whether it looks like exploding or imploding, whether it feels like getting really angry or shutting down, dysregulating moments always point to something deeper. Something that needs to be noticed, named, and processed inside of us. How do we begin to notice & listen to wha...2024-07-2235 minFaith & FeelingsThe Thing That Affects Your Minute-to-Minute Life More Than Anything ElseFew things impact your minute-to-minute—life more than emotional dysregulation.
Another way to describe this term is the inability to control your insides. It’s that unexpected spiral into anger, anxiety, or insecurity. It’s what happening inside of you during that unsettling relational interaction. It’s what’s going on when you burst into tears over losing your keys, or emotionally shut down when you feel like an outsider at a social gathering.
A huge misconception about emotional dysregulation is that these overblown or shut-down reactions happen out of nowhere. When we mistake them for isolated...2024-07-1520 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 3 Trailer | Why On Earth Did I Do (Or Say) That?Have you ever walked away from a conversation or situation, feeling bewildered or embarrassed, and thought to yourself, “Why on earth did I do (or say) that?”
We all have those disproportionate emotional responses to situations that typically wouldn’t affect us in such dramatic ways. You know in your head that your reaction was not rational, but your body was living out a different story. The counseling world has a term for these responses: emotional dysregulation. Many of us don’t realize that these revved-up reactions tell a story—a story about something we’ve lived. They point t...2024-07-0804 minFaith & FeelingsThe Story We Tell Ourselves About Our SufferingSometimes suffering lasts…and where is God in this? How do we find joy, hope, and love when life becomes undone?
When life doesn’t make sense, we need a theology of suffering that helps us expand to hold the brokenness & beauty of our world together. Over the last few months, we’ve been hearing from 8 wise, kind, and deeply authentic people about their stories of pain & sorrow, and what they’ve been learning about hope, lament, joy, and courage when life get really hard. In this episode, I wrap up our “When Life Doesn’t Make Sense” series...2024-07-0122 minFaith & FeelingsThe Things My Eating Disorder Taught MeOver the last 6 years of recovering from an eating disorder, I’ve known one thing to be true: mental health struggles are difficult to describe, and they can be exhausting to live with. It’s a daily waking up to an inner battle that can be overwhelmingly unnoticed by others, and there is a certain strength that is required to endure pain that lingers, especially when it’s unseen.
As we wrap up our second podcast series “When Life Doesn’t Make Sense,” I share one of my stories when life hasn’t made sense: receiving an eating disorde...2024-06-2422 minFaith & FeelingsThe Ache of Emotional Loneliness with CarleyI recently heard loneliness described as “an agonizing hunger.”
It is possible to be in a room full of people and to feel more lonely than if the room was empty. It is to be unseen. And being unseen by those close to you is, in some ways, worse than having no one see you. This form of loneliness has a name: emotional loneliness, and can be experienced by anyone, regardless of your marital status.
In this episode, my friend Carley joins me to share about her experience of emotional loneliness, woven throughout her story of si...2024-06-1733 minFaith & FeelingsPouring Out Your Big Feelings to God with LaurenHave you ever poured out your feelings to God, before editing your words?
So many of us have internalized a narrative that stuffing down our emotions is strength. As children, we may have witnessed how “being fine” was praised and celebrated…and in some Christian contexts, even called spiritual maturity. So, we grew into adulthood having learned to disconnect from our own inner cries.
In this episode, my friend Lauren joins me share about a recent miscarriage. By inviting us into her own grief and pain, she beautifully models why we have to let ourselves notice...2024-06-1029 minFaith & FeelingsWhen a Parent is Not Good with AshleyThe image of the family is so deeply imprinted onto us: pressed into our minds, hearts, and sense of who we are in the world. What do we do when our families are sources of pain or confusion… or worse, harm, neglect or abuse? In this episode, my friend Ashley joins me to share about a painful relationship with a parent. She puts words to the long-lasting impact that absent or abusive parenting can have on our relationships with ourselves, others, and God.
Ashley sifts through these experiences with such wisdom, care, and surprising gentleness, inviting us in...2024-06-0332 minFaith & FeelingsGrieving the Death of a Dream with MelissaWhat do you do when it feels like God broke His promise to you?
Grief and pain come to us all, and sometimes they come through shattered dreams: when life crumbles, and with it, the God you thought you knew. In the disorientation and confusion of what grief can be, we can experience a death without a funeral. Those unseen, unclear deaths of ideals, expectations, hopes, and even versions of ourselves.
In this episode, my friend Melissa joins me to share her about her family’s move to Togo, West Africa as missionaries…in which they...2024-05-2730 minFaith & FeelingsWhen the Voice in Your Head Is Not Kind with IrisWhat do we do when something unexpected happens, and life suddenly curls up into the frightening mark of a question? When we’re standing on shifting ground, how do we live this question well?
In this episode, my friend Iris joins me to share about an injury during high-school that nearly resulted in the loss of her leg. She puts language to the panic, powerless, and self-contempt that can come when something happens in our lives that we would never choose. With gracious honesty and gentle humor, Iris helps us understand how being transformed into a person wh...2024-05-2030 minFaith & Feelings"How Do I Live With Pain That Lingers?" with JennI often wonder if, in our Western context, we’ve so fused the American dream with the risen Christ that when suffering enters our lives and does not leave quickly, all we know how to do is hide, judge, or despair. Prolonged, continual experience of weakness, pain, or loss often places us in a position that feels vulnerable and unsteady. How do we keep on living with pain that has no foreseeable ending?
In this episode, my friend Jenn joins me to share about her husband, John’s, cancer journey. While suffering can cause us to question God’s...2024-05-1329 minFaith & Feelings"Am I Safe if I Trust God?" with JenniferOne of the hardest questions to answer in life is not “Does God exist?” but “Is God kind?”
Sometimes, unspeakable things happen at the hands of others. Experiences of spiritual abuse in particular shatter our ability to trust ourselves, God, others, and the world around us. When the hands that harm us embody the words and face of Jesus, it can feel as if we’ve been given the raw data that God is not good.
Today, my friend Jennifer joins me to share her excruciating story of spiritual wounding and sexual abuse from a church lead...2024-05-0638 minFaith & FeelingsWhen You Feel Betrayed by God with JessicaSo many of us have experienced a before and after.
A "before” you knew that life was fragile…and an “after.” When you can’t go back. You can’t un-know. You are changed. In some ways, grief will always be accompanying us. Where is God in this? And what do we do when, like David expresses over and over again in the Psalms, we feel a sense of divine abandonment or betrayal?
In this episode, my friend Jessica joins me to share about her recent miscarriage journey. Although she shares about the loss of a child, she sp...2024-04-2935 minFaith & FeelingsWhen Life is DisobedientSometimes suffering lasts…and where is God in this? How do we find joy, hope, and love when life becomes undone? These are two questions that I’ve sat with over the last few months. In this episode, I set some groundwork for our next series “When Life Doesn’t Make Sense” and give you a glimpse of some of the guests I’ll be hosting on the podcast over the next several weeks.
In many of our Christian contexts, we’ve internalized a belief that we demonstrate holiness by demonstrating happiness. I share some raw and honest reflect...2024-04-2218 minFaith & FeelingsSeries 2 Trailer | When Life Doesn't Make SenseThere’s a myth that is easy to buy into: that obedience to God will equal an easy life. In our modern context, many of us have absorbed an understanding of faith that requires life to work out…but what happens when it doesn’t? In this next podcast series called “When Life Doesn’t Make Sense,” I’ll be hosting conversations with wise, deeply authentic, and kind people about their stories of pain and sorrow, and what they’ve learned about hope, lament, joy, and courage when life falls apart. My hope is that these conversations offer words and phrases that c...2024-04-1503 minFaith & Feelings7 Important Questions to Consider When Engaging With Someone Who Harmed You with Ashley VolkWhat does it mean to love someone who has hurt you? In today’s episode I’m joined by my friend Ashley Volk, who received her certificate in narrative-focused trauma care from the Allender Center. In her experience over the last few years in facilitating Story Work groups, she has identified 7 important questions to consider when engaging with someone who has hurt you. We unpack each of these questions together and explore how love can take many different forms: from having a hard conversation, to putting up a firm boundary, to no longer engaging in the relationship. All of thes...2024-04-0834 minFaith & FeelingsYour Questions AnsweredTo wrap up our first series on the podcast, I’m giving you the microphone to ask me your questions. I love hearing your voices whenever I can, and I think this will be a lot of fun. I’ll do my best to offer some solid and thoughtful responses, if not answers.

It can have a crippling effect, reshaping the way that we engage in relationships and even the way that we inhabit our bodies. Of course, the goal is to move through our anxiety into a calmer, more regulated state. But do you know that there is an incredibly wise & kind part to your anxiety? Anxiety is often like a blinking light on the dashboard of your heart, alerting you of places inside of you that are hurting or not yet healed...an...2024-03-2523 minFaith & FeelingsDiffusing Anxiety Triggers When Your Body & Brain Won't CooperateTriggers can be a confusing word. At its heart, triggers are reactions to past trauma. They are not just about remembering past pain, but reexperiencing past pain as if it were happening in the present. But what do we do when we are triggered? Although there are no skills that can make a person stop themselves from ever being triggered again, there are skills that allow us to cope until we are less disarmed them and by the painful memories they bring up in us. In this episode, I explain three practical strategies for coping with triggers…and why pr...2024-03-1816 minFaith & FeelingsTriggers: Why Am I Reacting This Way?Triggers can make us feel like we’re on fire when there is no flame. But what actually is a trigger? Being triggered is not the same as being uncomfortable. Being triggered isn’t just about something rubbing you the wrong way. When someone is triggered, it means that they are having a strong, reflexive reaction to something that wouldn’t ordinarily cause that response. At its heart, triggers are reactions to past trauma. They are not just about remembering past pain, but reexperiencing past pain as if it were happening in the present. In this episode, I talk about...2024-03-1120 minFaith & Feelings3 Ways Trauma & Anxiety Are ConnectedThe anxiety that you feel today is not random. Anxiety in adulthood is often rooted in unprocessed stories of trauma… stories that our minds may have forgotten or suppressed but that our bodies still remember. As I talked about last week, our present anxiety is often trying to tell us some really important things about the story of our lives up to this point. But if you decide to begin reflecting on your childhood, what things should you be looking for? In this episode, I highlight 3 specific ways that trauma and anxiety are connected. I also share a personal st...2024-03-0419 minFaith & FeelingsWhere Does My Anxiety Come From?Have you ever wondered where your anxiety comes from? Many people are unaware that patterns of anxiety in adulthood are often rooted in unprocessed stories of trauma. Trauma has a tendency to hide, but the symptoms don’t lie. Our anxiety is often trying to tell us some really important things about the story of our lives up to this point. In this episode, I explore the questions “What exactly is trauma?” and “What makes something traumatic?” I also address a core reason why childhood trauma can be especially difficult for Christians to name & acknowledge.

But do you know that they actually have distinct differences? In fact, our ability to differentiate worry and anxiety is essential to be able to process them in a productive and healthy manner. I explain how worry and anxiety are different, and how they go together within the larger context of your nervous system. What I cover in this episode might surprise you! But I can personally speak to how these insights have helped me process what I'm feeling more quickly, and with so much more clarity...as the...2024-02-1920 minFaith & FeelingsDo I Have Anxiety?Anxiety can feel debilitating. But what actually is it? What’s happening inside of us when we feel anxious, and why do feel it? Anxiety is often our body’s way of alerting us to important, unfelt emotions. It’s always trying to tell us something. Whether you’re wondering if you have anxiety, want to understand it more, or long to better support a loved one, this episode is for you. I unpack how to know when you’re feeling anxious and offer practical ways to respond.
