We are honored to have Ken Baugh, with us today.  Ken is taking discipleship to a new level by incorporating neuroscience as he helps businessmen and ministry leaders in their spiritual development. He is also helping educators become more trauma informed. Ken takes a more holistic approach to discipleship, understanding that there is a connection between becoming more like Jesus and how God hardwired us neurologically. https://idtministries.com/ https://idtministries.com/unhindered-abundance/  

In this episode, we explore deconstruction, reconstruction, repentance, and the boundless goodness and inescapable love of God.

As a professional therapist, our guest today, Cheryl Callahan, talks about how she blends psychology with theology by including inner healing tools in her private practice. We know that when it comes to emotional healing, it is not "either/or," but rather "both/and" and we honor those who provide the counseling piece. We also love hearing how the tools help counselors help clients experience breakthrough in their healing journeys.  https://www.cherylcallahancounseling.com/

We're delighted to have our friend, Ed Khouri, of Equipping Hearts Ministries back with us. You may remember him as the addiction recovery specialist from Episode 17. Ed has a new book out called, "Becoming a Face of Grace" in which he boils down the neuroscience of healthy attachments in language that is accessible to everyone. Did you know that "grace" is actually a relational word? We'll also touch on codependency, fear, and sticky relationships. Find out more at equippinghearts.com.

We're back after a little break with a behind the scenes look at some recent real life happenings that illustrate what it means to live an Immanuel Lifestyle. Cathy and Melinda share about a recent accident and injury while paddle boarding, and how and why that traumatic event did not become a trauma. We're talking about experiencing Jesus in the middle of the traumatic event, the benefit of releasing trauma, and leaning into the process of pain as it carves deeper intimacy with Jesus and expands our soul. 

As we wrap up our centennial celebration, we are continuing our conversation with authors and theologians, Paul Young, Brad Jersak, and Baxter Kruger. If you haven't listened to Part 1 - do it now! This conversation needs to be heard as a whole. Listen, ponder, and ask Jesus what he thinks! This message is important. It may challenge your paradigms, and it could very well change your life.
