  • Keeps differentiation top of mind

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. Steve, Lisa, and their guests do a great job at helping me remain Human sized. They also teach tools to help stop the spread of anxiety while remaining connected to the person feeling anxious. It’s a great podcast to learn how to better communicate with yourself, others, and God. Highly recommend this pod and Steve’s books!

  • Practical, compassionate, open

    This podcast fuses the reminder of deep spiritual truths with tremendously beneficial insights from psychology, neuroscience, etc., in a way that is not prescriptive or moralistic, but humble, open to doubt, questions and mystery, and truly offers a space space for listeners to learn, explore, question and take away practical tools - no matter where one is on their faith journey.

  • Tools for living life more abundantly

    After listening to the episode on The Bear I decided to watch the show with my husband. He is the CEO of a large company. He remarked how he saw himself in Carmy. I shared this podcast with him along with the things I’ve been learning about anxiety through listening to the show. It has been life changing for us, both at work and at home as we’ve become cognizant of what’s going on inside of ourselves, and using the things we are learning to pause and take stock of what causes us to be triggered,... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond Self-Help: Real Spiritual Formation with Dr. Kyle Strobel
Q: Could you give us an example from your own life, Kyle? When you made a shift from chasing Bible knowledge to actually relaxing into God's presence?
Kyle discusses the importance of bringing honest emotions, such as anger, to God in prayer rather than trying to manage them or clean up his life before approaching God. He emphasizes the shift from a past-tense prayer life to one where he brings his current feelings directly before God for healing and understanding.
Sex and Porn Addiction, Misconceptions That Prevent Healing with Matt Wenger
Q: What can someone in a relationship with an addict do to promote healing?
They should seek their own help, establish boundaries, and care for themselves, recognizing that they also need healing.

Clarissa Moll & Steve Cuss Navigate Anxiety, Reactivity, and Emotional Freedom
Q: What have you found is the most helpful thing that your friends and loved ones have done, and what is something that isn't helpful in helping deal with grief?
Being told 'I love you', 'I'm sorry', and 'I'll stick around' were the most helpful, while a lack of vocabulary for grief can lead people to say the wrong things.
