116. Holistic Health: Exploring the Incongruence of Energy Healing and God’s Word

In a world where people are grasping for deeper meaning, deeper spirituality, and a higher purpose, energy healing is a seductive path that ensares countless people. Born with sin, we all enter this world believing that we are the center of the universe—that we are in control of our health, our bodies, our lives, our circumstances, and our destinies.
Those who have not turned to God for Truth have no choice but to search for it within themselves. Phrases like, “Live your truth” and “follow your heart” champion the self-reliant path in which man makes himself God. But God’s word warns us in Jeremiah 17:9 that “the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
So in today’s episode I want to to examine the New Age philosophies of “energy healing” and “Spiritual attunement”, their tenets and modern day techniques, and unpack their incongruence with God’s word. And we will see that unhelpful - and potentially harmful - approaches to healing denies God’s authority and supreme power to heal and restore His children.
We look at some of the prevalent practices of energy healing today, including:
Reiki and sound baths
crystals
yoga
meditation
somatic therapy
While energy healing offers a variety of seductive approaches to addressing emotional and psychological issues through physical means, its principles and practices are incongruous with biblical teachings. Christians are called to prioritize spiritual growth, seek God's healing power, and discern practices that align with their faith. By doing so, we can ensure that our approach to healing remains rooted in the truth of God's Word and reflects a holistic understanding of human nature that honors the preeminence of the spiritual.
The Bible provides clear guidance on the source and method of true healing. Scriptures consistently emphasize that God is the ultimate healer. For instance, Psalm 103:2-3 says, "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." Healing, according to the Bible, is a divine process that often involves spiritual intervention, faith, and prayer.
Ultimately those who refuse to acknowledge Jesus will never come to a place of true spiritual healing: Jesus says in Matt 13:15, For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn (*repent), and I would HEAL them

Episode Rewind: Reflections from 24 hours of dark solitude

113. Painting Millionaires with Robert Timmons

What can happen in your life if you choose to prioritize giving away value to others?
Zig Ziglar said it best: "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want."
My guest has made this mantra a life mission.
You’ve heard of the term ‘jack of all trade’ which is often followed by ‘master of none.’ while I’d describe Robert as a bit of a jack of all trades, it’s evident through his passion and dedication that he also seeks mastery in his pursuits, whether painting, financial coaching, speaking, podcasting and more. It’s truly inspiring to see a man who is so ambitious, yet not content with just merely scratching the surface, but going deep in his understanding and skillsets in each area.
We had an awesome conversation where we discussed topics like:
The importance of coaching and membership in elevating areas of your life and performance
His journey in painting and how we conceived of the idea of painting millionaires - and specifically the power in GIVING and adding value to others
We didn’t get a chance to dive into his personal life and his role as a father as we ran out of time… so fingers crossed I can have Robert back as a future guest and get more into the legacy he’s creating there.

111. How God’s Pruning Process Produces Uncommon Growth in Our Lives

What does God's pruning process look like in the lives of believers?
In John 15:2 (NIV), Jesus speaks to the significance of pruning:
I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” Jesus delineates two distinct actions within the pruning process: the removal of dead branches and the trimming of fruitful ones.
While most of us do not eagerly embrace God's pruning of our lives, His word instructs us to not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬-‭12‬). Again in Hebrews 12:11 we are told that No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
So while God's pruning process - His discipline - in our lives can be uncomfortable, even painful, it is a necessary expression of His love for us; His sanctifying work to rid us of our sin and usher us into deeper dependence, love and intimacy with Him!

108. Running 5 Marathons in 5 Consecutive Days... in 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! w/Dave Grange

What's the craziest challenge you've ever subjected yourself to?
Many of us have put our skills and resolve to the test through various physical, mental, psychological - even spiritual - challenges. But I'd be willing to be that most our our greatest challenges pale in comparison to the Misogi that my guest on today's show completed!
Dave Grange is quite possibly the only person on the planet to complete a 5-5-5 challenge: he ran 5 marathons, in 5 consecutive days ... in 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! (Let that sink in). Yes, in August of 2023, Dave set out to successfully run 5 trail marathons as he traversed through the alps of Switzerland, the Dolomites of Italy, France, Austria and Slovenia. His entire excursion was self-supported, meaning he spent his own money, rented a car that he slept/lived out of, navigated the entire journey himself - in spite of language barriers - and was completely alone with no team to help, guide or encourage him!
Through his coaching company, Live Stellar, Dave coaches clients to maximize their mindset and performance to create truly exceptional lives. And Dave not only promotes a stellar life, he walks the walk as a husband, father and friend.
This conversation covers a ton of stellar content, and you will learn about the following:
Dave's family and how he and his wife parent their 4 children under the age of 8
how Dave and his wife Rio prioritize their relationship even in the midst of major life transitions and the trappings of busy day-to-day lives
What it means to live a Stellar lifestyle, and how your habits form your disciplines that lead to BIG growth & success over time
How prioritizing your personal health and living an active lifestyle will help you cultivate the mindset for success in all other areas
Why Misogis are a sacred practice that anyone can adopt and use for incredible personal growth and self-discovery
How Dave's faith in God propelled him through his 5-5-5 and lifted him out of some of the darkest & scariest moments
How shifting your mindset from "have to" to "get to" - even in the face of immense challenge - can be the difference between quitting and continuing on
How doing hard things opens the door to our greatest potential as we ask ourselves the question, "If I can do that, what else am I capable of?"
All this and more will be covered in this episode, and you will be sure to come away feeling inspired and encouraged on your own Uncommon journey!
