Spiritual Abuse

164 | You Are Enough

WITH JONATHAN PUDDLE

 
Can we lean into the energies and the presence of all those parts of ourselves and say you are welcome, you belong, I need you, I will listen to you, you each have different kinds of wisdom to teach me.
— Jonathan Puddle
 

About This Episode:

What would your life look like if you took an entire year to discover your inner greatness? The moment Jonathan said that he immediately got my attention. Because sadly too often we don't ever take time to see the value in who we are let alone take an entire year to do the work that will help heal our body, soul and spirit from past trauma.

This week I'm sitting down with my friend Jonathan Puddle. Jonathan is no stranger to the online world. He's the host of a podcast aptly called, The Puddcast and he is also the author of a brand new book entitled 'You Are Enough'.

In this episode, we talk about self-love, inner healing, and what it really takes to move through spiritual reformation (or deconstruction as I like to call it). Jonathan shares openly and honestly about his journey with mental health and how when he started to experience healing - his impact became greater and he was able to share with more ease and flow.

163 | Redeeming Power And Authority

WITH DR. DIANE LANGBERG, PHD

 
Anybody who holds power whether it is a parent, a teacher, a therapist, a doctor, a pastor — that power has to be full of love and full of truth with the purpose of being used with vulnerable people to bless them in the name of Jesus. Which is not just a verbal thing, it’s a character thing.
— Diane Langberg
