“You’re never going to run out of questions about dealing with anger. So, while today’s podcast is on anger, it’s not a summary or even an overview of dealing with anger. It’s just a brief conversation between three friends about three important questions about anger. So feel free to pull up a chair and join […]

“The fun thing about conversations is that you don’t know where they’re going when you begin. For me, the excitement of a podcast is two people sitting down and exploring a new territory together with no map, and sometimes not even a destination—just an entry gate. Today’s conversation fits the bill perfectly, and the topic […]

“I don’t totally get the Lego Movie craze that has been all the rage the past few years. I mean, why is Lego Star Wars or Lego Batman a thing instead of normal animation if you’re going to do a kids’ version of a popular movie? The only thing I can figure out is that […]

“I loved doing the podcast you’re about to hear for two reasons. One, borderline personality disorder, which is today’s topic, is one of the places where I think a biblical view of who we are as human beings has especially high potential to shine. I think the Bible allows us such a powerful and unique […]

“I know what you are thinking right now. In fact I even know what you’re looking at. Ok, I lied. I have no idea what you’re thinking or looking at, but it was kind of scary there for a moment when you thought I did, right? Actually…I probably do know what you’re thinking right now. […]

“We’re back today with another episode of our series, ‘Best of Psychology.’ The basic idea of the series is that Biblical counseling has always been know for how it was against psychology. And, with reason, there’s a lot we object to. But we’ve also always said that there is good in the secular psychological endeavor, […]

“What’s the hardest job in the world? Some would argue, ‘motherhood’, and they’re probably right. But anyone who knows a pastor personally, knows that being a pastor is way up there on the list of hardest jobs. And that’s why I talked with Ed Welch today about pastors, the challenges of being a pastor, and […]

“Today’s episode starts with a caveat: the subject is technology, but if you’re listening to this podcast on a computer or a smartphone or an iPad, (and let’s be honest, how else are you possibly listening to this?) that’s still ok. After all, aside from listening to an audio Bible, what possible better use of […]

“One of the scariest things you ever have to do in ministry or in life is to make a phone call to child protective services to report abuse. It’s scary because the stakes are always so high, and the process is so unknown. Now, there’s a lot of good information out there about who you […]

“Have you ever noticed that sometimes even more important than what someone says is how they say it? Have you ever noticed that sometimes we say things and we don’t even know what’s going on inside of ourselves as we say them? We take a unique approach to this question today, actually looking at the […]

“On today’s episode, we are back with part two of our series on obsessive-compulsive disorder. I hope part one whetted your appetite and left you wanting to know, ‘what do I do now that I know a little better what’s going on in the experience of OCD?’ If you haven’t listened to part one yet, […]

“Obsessive-compulsive disorder might be the most joked-about of all the psychiatric labels. ADD probably isn’t far behind. But OCD tends to get brought up a lot in conversation, but also tends to be quite poorly understood. I find that it sounds weird, very strange to most people when they hear about it or think about […]
