    A true God sent platform! After taking the Academy Class with Karrie, I immediately signed up for the certification. She speaks such truth and passion for helping others heal. I’ve seen first hand how it brings community together and lets you empathize with others in their pain alongside healing parts of your own story! Thank you, Karrie!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 3, Episode 14 (Finale): The Power of Healing - Transforming Churches with Dave Mudd
Q: Tell me a little bit about that internal, I have to leave from a place of integrity. What was that like for you?
Dave explains that he chose to go first in embodying biblically sound, Spirit-filled, and trauma-informed work, modeling vulnerability and leadership accountability to set the tone for the church.
Season 3, Episode 5: Living What You Believe with Tori Hein
Q: What shifted for you from knowing scripture to embodying it?
Moving from knowledge to embodiment required vulnerability, self-reflection, and letting community speak into blind spots, so that faith becomes a lived practice rather than a theoretical framework.
Season 3, Episode 5: Living What You Believe with Tori Hein
Q: How do you define being biblically sound in daily life?
By living in integrity with the full storyline of scripture, embodying its teachings in everyday actions, relationships, and decisions, not just knowing the words.
Season 3, Episode 7: Exploring Spiritual Formation with Tanya Godsey
Q: How do you balance the mystery of the Spirit with practical discernment in daily life and ministry?
By cultivating wisdom through humility, testing words against Scripture, seeking godly counsel, and recognizing that alignment with God's vision for one's life often requires sacrifice and careful reflection rather than rushing to dramatic experiences.
Season 3, Episode 7: Exploring Spiritual Formation with Tanya Godsey
Q: What regular practices or questions help you move into the sanctuary with God and hear His voice?
A mix of journaling the burdens you carry, asking God what is on His heart, engaging Scripture with prayer, and creating space (e.g., in car rides, walks, or quiet moments) to listen and respond; this relational cadence helps discern God's guidance.
