Why I Quit Yoga: The Hidden 'Yoke' & How to Rewire Your Brain with Dr. Laurette Willis ❖ 2581/14/2026
The Question That Changed EverythingImagine spending decades searching for God in all the "sacred" places—backpacking through Europe, meditating on mountaintops, practicing yoga for 22 years, and even becoming a channeler for spirits. You think you are enlightened, but deep down, you are empty. Then, on April Fool's Day, you hear a voice over your shoulder ask one terrifying, liberating question: "What if everything you thought about God was completely wrong?" This is the incredible testimony of my guest today, Dr. Laurette Willis. She is the founder of PraiseMoves®, the Christian alternative to yoga, and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who bridges the gap between biblical revelation and brain science. In this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, we get Spiritually BRAVE about the vessel we live in. We aren't just talking about exercise; we are talking about discernment, neuroscience, and who—or what—you are yoking your spirit to. The enemy pushes, but the Lord gently leads. That is the difference between a taskmaster and a Shepherd." — Dr. Laurette Willis The Hidden "Yoke" of Yoga For many Christians, yoga is a gray area. It’s just stretching, right? Dr. Laurette challenges this cultural norm with compassion and clarity. As a former insider who spent 22 years in the New Age movement, she explains that "Yoga" is a Sanskrit word meaning "to yoke." The question we must ask is: To whom are we yoking ourselves? During the interview, I shared my own experience of seeing into the spirit realm while a friend practiced yoga. I watched her spirit "open up" in a way that left her vulnerable. Dr. Laurette confirmed this, explaining that many poses are designed to be offerings to Hindu deities. But God is a Redeemer. He doesn't want us to stop moving; He wants us to move with purpose. Dr. Laurette introduces us to PraiseMoves, where postures are "redeemed." Instead of emptying the mind (which creates a vacuum), we fill the mind with Scripture while moving the body. It’s not just fitness; it’s living, moving meditation.

He wants to heal your spirit, soul, and body. As Dr. Laurette reminded us, the enemy pushes, but the Good Shepherd leads. Let Him lead you into a movement that heals. 
I have been married for 42 years and counting, going in the direction you want??? Highly depends on which direction I am "going." Am I a good friend? and being friendly? Am I a good wife? And have I communicated (Clarified "Wifely" duties in this season) Do I like myself, and in "liking" me, enjoy Don's company. And sometimes "company" means we plan the date nights! I think you get the idea... if we include our "Going & Direction" as part of our relationship, then we stay in communication with OUR journey. Join the Conversation Below! ⬇️ I want to hear from YOU. This episode was packed with so much revelation—from the "hidden yoke" of yoga to the biological breakthrough of the "Pen Exercise." But the most powerful part of this podcast is when we turn it into a community conversation. I’d love to know in the comments:

Don't miss this episode! Widow and Certified Grief Specialist Michelle Bader Ebersole reveals the supernatural peace and divine purpose found in loss. Learn to live Spiritually BRAVE, embrace your identity as a Daughter of the King, and unlock the healing truth: "What we feel, God can heal."
Summary In this heartfelt conversation, Kristen Wambach and Michelle Bader Ebersole explore the profound journey of grief and healing after the loss of a loved one. Michelle shares her personal experience of becoming a widow at 41 and the revelations she encountered about her identity and faith during this challenging time. The discussion delves into the importance of community support, the myths surrounding grief, and the necessity of feeling emotions to facilitate healing. They also touch on the impact of holidays on those grieving and the significance of creating new traditions. Michelle emphasizes the role of faith in navigating grief and how it can lead to a renewed purpose in life, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace their journey with hope and love. The most immediate and unedited revelation I received about who God says I am, was that I was a Daughter of the King." - Michelle Bader Ebersole's  Unedited Revelation: The Daughter of the KingWhen Michelle’s world instantly shattered, losing her husband, her whole identity felt stripped away. Yet, in that void, an unedited revelation emerged: she was first and foremost a Daughter of the King. This profound truth, woven into our discussion, serves as a powerful anchor. Michelle shared, "My whole identity was stripped from me. I was no longer a wife... I drew closer to Jesus than I ever had in my whole life because I had nothing else. I would say Daughter of the King really is who I felt like I was." This is the ultimate Christian spiritual growth moment—when all earthly supports are gone, the truth of our Sonship remains. The Quantum Reality of Peace and Pain We explored the mysterious, tangible experience of God’s presence in the midst of tragedy. Michelle described a "supernatural peace" that covered her during her husband's final moments—a bubble protecting her from the overload of the moment. Further deepening this mystical Christian podcast theme, she shared a visionary experience where she was brought into her husband's body, feeling his profound peace and seeing Jesus clearly. This testimony speaks directly to the concept of Oneness (our Oneness with Christ and with our spouse). My own spiritual experience affirms this quantum thinking: "The experience of being spiritually in my husband’s body during his passing speaks to the whole idea of being one flesh and one spirit... we can literally be inside our spouse." Grief, in this light, is a simultaneity of reality—deep human pain coexisting with divine, supernatural access. CONNECT WITH Michelle Bader EbersoleWe have to let go of the 'why.' If God allowed it, I can accept it because I believe He has my best in mind and wants me to flourish." -Michelle Bader Ebersole's
Isolation is the enemy's way to keep us from our healing and our destiny. We must choose freedom over the chains of dark depression." -Michelle Bader Ebersole's What We Feel, God Can Heal A core message for Christian personal development came from Michelle’s work as a grief counselor: "Grief comes in waves out of nowhere. If you do not let yourself feel it, you won’t heal." The biggest myth is the urge to "keep busy" and stuff the grief down. Michelle offers a practical spirituality key: "What we feel, God can heal." This requires courage—the courage to cry in the grocery store, in church, or wherever the wave hits. Our healing is too important to worry about what anyone else thinks. Furthermore, we must address the feeling of abandonment that loss can bring. For those who feel angry or distant from God, Michelle stresses the importance of letting go of the need for the "why." Instead, embrace the acceptance that "If God allowed it, I can accept it." This shift in rhema mind over logos mind brings us closer to the heart of the Father. Navigating the Holidays with Heavenly Wisdom As we approach the holiday season, a time often magnifying the hole left by a loved one, Michelle offered heavenly wisdom for Spirit-led living. The key is to mix old traditions with new ones. Doing something completely different, like having pizza at a Great Wolf Lodge instead of a traditional Thanksgiving, or adding a ritual like sharing a memory while eating Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, can transform pain into a new, honoring memory. Crucially, friends must support the grieving by marking important dates—the death anniversary, the wedding anniversary—on their calendars. A simple reach out on the hardest days is a lifeline. Grief is not a linear set of stages, but it comes in waves out of nowhere. The most important thing you can do is feel it." - Michelle Bader Ebersole's LIVE RECORDING VIEWYour God-Inspired DNA Calling Michelle’s journey led her to start the Widow Goals ministry, demonstrating that no pain is wasted. Her loss became her God-inspired DNA calling. Her marriage to Joel, a supportive partner, allowed her to transition into full-time ministry. This is the healing and transformation podcast message: God will redeem and restore what was lost, expanding your heart for both new love and expanded purpose. Let's conclude with my personal reminder: "God is gooder. He's better than my current bandwidth of Him." Allow the goodness of God to expand your understanding today. Turn aside, notice Him, and let Him fill you with His divine wisdom. BINGE LISTEN

Hello festive souls! As the twinkling lights adorn our streets, the air fills with the scent of pine, and the holiday season whirls into full swing, many of us find ourselves caught in a cycle of activity and expectation. Christmas, a season meant for unbridled joy and togetherness, can often feel overwhelmingly stressful. But what if we told you there’s a way to unlock joy even when the pressure builds? Welcome back to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, where we’re revisiting our Christmas Stressless Toolkit—a gentle guide to help you find calm and divine wisdom amidst the holiday hustle. Today, we are blending practical steps and profound reflection, inspired by the hands of our perfect carpenter, Jesus, to transform stress into genuine celebration. Remember, we put the hammer away and we do not disqualify ourselves from all of the goodness that Jesus has given us on our not so good days. That's when we really need him. Amen."—Kristen Wambach
In this episode, host Kristen Wambach uses a metaphorical toolkit—featuring a hammer, a measuring tape, and a screwdriver—to address the pervasive issue of self-inflicted pressure during the holidays. Kristen encourages listeners to stop using the metaphorical "hammer" on themselves by setting impossibly high standards and instead, to apply extra grace. Drawing on Ephesians 4 (from the Mere Translation), she reveals that meekness, tenderness, and compassion are already woven into our spiritual fabric. The measuring tape’s true function is to show that our worth is defined solely by the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s grace—not by performance or a holiday to-do list. The episode powerfully reminds us that God is "head over heels in love with you," infusing us with grace and that His faith is the moving mechanism of our identity and worth, making us "equally advantaged" in His love, regardless of a "good day or a not so good day." A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else." - George Savile The season of giving often becomes the season of doing. We find ourselves in a whirlwind, and inevitably, that stress starts to show up. In our Christmas Stressless Toolkit, the first item we pull out is the hammer. This is a tool we use frequently for decorating—tacking up garland and hanging wreaths. But we need to ask ourselves a crucial question: Are you using this metaphorical hammer on yourself? With that measuring tape, our measurement is about what Many of us are hard on ourselves, placing towering expectations, especially in a season dedicated to serving others. If you’ve ever been the last person you dole out a little extra grace to, this conversation is for you. Our to-do lists can quickly monopolize our brain space. Kristen suggests a helpful tip: take a moment to list out your Christmas activities, but then value the reason for them. Value the value in your gatherings. When you highlight the joy—the celebration of Jesus’s birthday in an attitude of togetherness—you see the purpose behind the pressure. Note to self: hammers are not intended for human use. We must put that tool away and refuse to come down hard on ourselves. Next, we discover the measuring tape and screwdriver. This is where we talk to Jesus, the perfect carpenter. The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 4 (Mere Translation), speaks of how our spiritual makeup is already attached, bound, and woven with meekness and tenderness. This enables us to show compassion—even to those irritating issues, and most importantly, compassion to self.  Thank You for Supporting and Encouraging this Podcast, Kristen Note to self, hammers are not intended for human use... Do you ever find that you're using this metaphorical hammer on yourself? What do I mean? Are you being hard on you?" —Kristen Wambach FESTIVE LIVE RECORDING for your big screen TVThe measuring tape has a profound spiritual meaning. Our measurement is not based on how many tasks we complete or how perfectly we execute the holidays. Our measurement is about what God believes about you and I. It’s about His faith, which resides on the inside of you. The gift of Christ measures the extravagant dimensions of grace, where every single person is equally advantaged. Our individual value is defined by His gift, not by our performance on a good day or a not-so-good day. Remembering the story of Mary, who was told by the angel Gabriel to have no fear because "God is head over heels in love with you," we grasp the sheer magnitude of our infused grace. Like Mary, we are mystically captured by a dream, a desire, a hope God has placed within us. Jesus’s love and grace are the best measurements attached to our lives. The episode closes with a beautiful, personalized adaptation of Mary’s Song of Praise (Luke 1:46-54): “My spirit bursts with joy over my life-giving God, for he set his tender gaze upon me... I have been favored and blessed.” This is a powerful declaration of your innate worth and God's unwavering presence. This Christmas, let us put the hammer away. Let us measure our lives by the extravagant dimensions of grace that Jesus has already bound and woven into our very being. Your toolkit is already full of the power of His love. BINGE LISTEN

CONNECT WITH DR. MELANIE GRAY👑 Regulate First: The Biological Secret to Praying From VictoryWe often hear the call to walk in Kingdom Authority and carry supernatural glory. Yet, many high-performance individuals, aspiring entrepreneurs, and seekers of deeper spiritual truths find themselves struggling with burnout, anxiety, and a persistent feeling of being "stuck." Is it a lack of faith? A spiritual blockage? According to Dr. Melanie Gray, this struggle often has a biological root. Our conversation on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast reveals the profound truth: we must Regulate First—aligning our biological operating system (our nervous system) with the peace of Christ—before we can effectively lead or walk in spiritual power. The word, as Dr. Gray reminds us, "is not a sword until your voice uses it." In order to regulate, we need to know the word. You need at least one scripture anchor you can hold on to today." --Dr. Melanie Gray 🧠 The Gap Between Biology and BeliefDr. Gray posits that what we frequently mistake for spiritual failure is simply a nervous system stuck in dysregulation or survival mode. Our biological enemy to the Biblical concept of Shalom (peace, wholeness) is a dysregulated body reacting to the stress of this world. When our nervous system is constantly on high alert, our focus naturally turns to the flesh—the aches, the worries, the pains—just as the world system teaches us. But as believers, we are called to a higher standard: to walk by faith and not by sight. The key to closing this gap is knowing the Word of God. If we do not have scripture anchors to meditate on and keep our hearts and minds stayed on Him, our nervous system will default to the fear-based programming of the world. To regulate ourselves is to intentionally surrender and trust that the wonder-working power of the Word is active in our lives, regardless of how we feel. The word is not a sword until your voice uses it." —Dr. Melanie Gray 🚫 Rejecting Resilience for Resting in GodFor the intuitive and high-performance listener, the world promotes the myth of resilience—a sophisticated suffering that requires constantly "sucking it up" and "bouncing back." Dr. Gray encourages us to reject this, viewing it as an interference with true rest in God. Resilience keeps us in a cycle of chaos and recovery, never truly stable. Instead, when we are stabilized in Christ, we operate in a homeostatic balance of peace and rest. We don't have to bounce back; we are already moving in Him. This shift means letting go of control and trusting His provision over our striving.

🙏 Trauma, Praise, and the Power of His PresenceFor those grappling with unresolved trauma, the path to spiritual healing begins with recognizing that Christ is the ultimate Redeemer. Trauma can make us feel disconnected from God or see Him as a threat Yet, Christ is the freedom bearer and true healer. A key practical application for connecting our body to His presence is praise and worship. Praise is the highest form of prayer because it is an act of radical trust. It shifts our bodily frequency. When we worship, we are declaring, "I love you more than the pain I'm feeling right now." We lift Him until our body catches up with the truth of the Word. His presence is a tangible reality, a feeling of safety that expands the heart and rests the thoughts. Whether in a dedicated "altar" or in the car, God wants to meet us. Our ultimate safety is found under the canopy of His blood and His love, understanding that "his blood covers us... it broke every chain." The greatest act of faith is to simply stay still." – A.W. Tozer 🎯 Call to Action: As you go about your week, I want to challenge you: When you feel that old pattern come up, pause (use the breathing technique!), and ask yourself, "Is this a spiritual lack, or does my nervous system need the safety of God's Word right now?" Let's stop surviving and start thriving in the Oneness of His presence. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of Interviewing Jesus. He is so awesome. Amen. Until next time, keep asking the questions that rewrite your life, and remember to stay Spiritually BRAVE. I love you so much, and I will talk to you again real soon. Bye now.
Let us choose to stop toiling and start resting. Let us move from the mindset of being busy to being present, knowing that our stillness and surrender will bring about a far greater, supernatural result than our striving ever could. Stay Spiritually Brave!
In this festive episode, Kristen Wambach guides listeners through a toolkit designed to alleviate Christmas stress. She introduces the CALM acronym, emphasizing the importance of cherishing moments, self-care, and letting go of perfection. Through personal anecdotes and spiritual insights, she encourages listeners to navigate the holiday season with grace and joy, while also highlighting the significance of community and support during this busy time.
Take care of you first. That is most important because when you take care of you, you have more energy, more flow, more restraint, more collectiveness, more balance to do your day." —Kristen Wambach Hey there, family! I hope this message finds you wrapped in the warmth and joy of the holiday season. We are pulling out the bells and whistles today to gain a little extra balance because, let’s be honest, are you seeing any signs of stress? I have a little funny story that happened just last week while my pumpkin pies were in the oven. We were stuffing the turkey at my mom's house when her 17-year-old terrier showed up on the porch covered in mud. I thought, "No problem, let me go wipe her off so she can come in." But as I was wiping her, the thought hit me: this isn't just regular mud. She had taken a little adventure into the cow field and was totally covered in cow poo! Oh, my goodness. Now, sometimes life just throws us a few curve balls, even during the holidays. Today, we are locked and loaded with two powerful points, including a yummy meditation you can revisit throughout the season. So let's open our toolbox—we're going to be empowered! Highlight Subjects
🔑 Two Easy Points for Stress-Busting Let's do some stress busting early, early, early. Here are two easy points for you: Number One: Take Care of You First. I know we get busy, but keep the habit. Take care of you first thing every day. Don't let your self-care take a back seat this month. Check it off first thing in the morning. Drink plenty of water. Stretch. Go take a walk. Take care of you first. That is most important because when you take care of you, you have more energy, more flow, more restraint, more collectiveness, and more balance to do your day. Let me add a couple of relieving stress options. A couple of weeks ago, I started to stretch before I went to bed. It’s wonderful. It opens up my body to relax. Easy, gentle stretches and deep breathing, twisting out your back and turning your neck, just so all the energies of the day can be released. We descend into a peaceful night's sleep. Activation: Sitting at the Table with Jesus Sometimes, don't you find yourself tired, but there's still more of the day to accomplish? I have something so good for you. I want you to find a cozy place to recline. Set aside about 10 minutes. You can set a timer for about 10 minutes. We're just going to enter into His presence together. Close your eyes and breathe in and out through your nose. In your mind's eye, step into the Spirit. Jesus takes your hand, and we step into the Kingdom of Heaven with Him. Imagine a country lodge. It’s snowing outside. A fire is cracking in the fireplace. There's a huge dining table set in the center, and Christmas stockings—an odd collection, personalized by Jesus for His family—are hung on the mantle. You are included. Now, sit down at the table with Jesus. Acknowledge His invitation. Allow your spirit to see Him. His smile is intoxicating; He is so delighted to meet with you. He asks you to share communion with Him. Before serving the bread, Jesus reaches into His shirt pocket and pulls out a small vial. He says, "Here in this bottle is where I’ve collected every one of your tears. No prayer, emotion, concern, or tear do I ever misplace." He asks you to write out one concern on the notepad beside you. When finished, you rip it out and stick it in His heart pocket, right next to the vial of tears. He smiles and says, "The room feels lighter, doesn't it? Nothing is impossible while sitting in the love of God." Then, He breaks the bread—His broken body, all the nutrients you need for life, joy, and wellness. He picks up your empty wine glass, picks up His own, and pours its entire contents into yours. "Drink this. Feel it burst in your mouth... This is My love, which is poured out continuously for you. Whatever needs filling, healing, transforming, I will fill." Number Two: Peaceful You. Prioritize the day. What is at the top of the list that brings you the most peace? For me, my house being a Christmas decorating bomb dislocates my organizational dingers. When I listen to my spirit, I’m told: take care of the root cause, and the rest of the day will smooth itself out. For me, messiness and clutter was a root cause that made me touchy and irritated, where overwhelm seemed to come and camp out. When we prioritize the root cause, even for 10 minutes a day (like working on the decorating), it leaves us feeling empowered and makes our day peaceful. a FESTIVE WATCH LIVE RECORDINGChapters 00:00 Holiday Stress Relief and Encouragement: Spiritual Balance and Awareness 04:41 Christian Self-Care During the Holidays: Why Prioritizing You is Essential 06:33 10-Minute Activation: Communion Meditation and Spiritual Connection 16:26 Finding Peace: Prioritizing Tasks and Addressing the Root Cause of Stress 19:19 Unwrapping CALM: A Festive Introduction to Your Stress-Less Toolkit 21:14 CALM - C: Cherishing the Moment (How to Embrace the Present Moment) 24:01 CALM - A: Attuning to Joy (Finding Happiness and Celebrating Small Wins in Chaos) 27:00 CALM - L: Letting Go of Perfection (Embracing Imperfection and Lowering Standards) 35:44 CALM - M: Mindful Giving (The Heart of the Holiday Spirit & Thoughtful Gestures)  This message provides two vital points for stress-busting: first, prioritizing personal self-care, and second, finding peace by addressing root causes of stress. The core strength is the 10-minute communion activation, where Jesus lovingly collects our tears and concerns, ensuring us that He attends to them right from His heart pocket, confirming that nothing is impossible when we sit in the love of God. This encouragement is designed to give you balance, flow, and restraint to navigate the festive season victoriously. Cherish your vision and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements." —Kristen Wambach  Wasn’t that activation, communion, and prayer life-giving? Yes, do it again, Jesus. I so treasure these moments where Jesus gathers our hearts together, and we get to commune in His presence. It changes the day, doesn’t it? Remember the goodies for December: your stress-less toolbox and mystical tales. I love you so much. Thank you for spending this time with me. BINGE LISTEN

"And there you have it, family! You have just armed yourself with the CALM acronym—your complete spiritual toolkit for navigating the holiday chaos. By listening today, you have replaced overwhelm with flow and restraint, learned why self-care is your greatest gift, and gained the spiritual freedom of letting go of perfection. Crucially, you experienced the 10-minute communion activation where you handed your tears and heaviest burdens directly to Jesus, guaranteeing you walk away with His peace and unending love.

Summary In this episode of the Interviewing Jesus podcast, host Kristen Wambach speaks with Elaine Lankford, a passionate advocate for Christian female entrepreneurs. Elaine shares her transformative journey from nursing to ministry, emphasizing the importance of faith, community, and empowering women to recognize their worth in Christ. The conversation explores overcoming personal challenges, the significance of service, and the impact of church hurt. Elaine discusses her initiatives, including the She Steps Forward Conference and outreach efforts in Kenya, while encouraging women to embrace their God-given potential and confidence. Our focus today is not on avoiding pain, but on realizing that every piece of rejection, every moment of loss, is a divinely appointed catalyst for your ultimate God-inspired DNA calling. From Bubble Wrap to Divine InterruptionElaine described her early faith as that of a "bubble wrap Christian"—a life of comfort, integrity, and success. But as Jesus often does, He disrupted the comfortable to reveal a greater truth. After a series of devastating losses—career, family, health—Elaine found herself in ashes. This is where the conversations with Jesus begin. Elaine realized, "God is a good God. Sometimes He sets us down because the Bible tells us He chases and chastises those that He loves." The key takeaway for your faith journey podcast is this: God was pulling her out to save her and shift her focus back to where it truly belonged. Your career loss, your unexpected change in life pattern—it is all part of a divine sequence proving that nothing is ever wasted. Opposition is an OpportunityOne of the most challenging barriers to Christian spiritual growth is church hurt. Many feel rejected when their Spirit-led living pushes them beyond traditional church structures. Elaine openly shared the pain of this resistance, but she found the key to freedom: recognizing the "Paul and Peter Calling." Some are called to be Peters—the cornerstones of the local church. Others, like Elaine, are called to be Pauls—the adventurers sent outside the walls to the community and the nations. She recognized: "I know that I’m called to be a Paul. I respect those who are called to be a Peter. And so just understanding my role in the kingdom assignment is how I move forward." The rejection you face is not a sign of failure; it is the thorns in the nest that force the eaglet to fly. Elaine’s divine wisdom for those stuck in bitterness is simple: "Don't be bitter in the church hurt. Learn the lesson and look at it as an opportunity. Opposition is an opportunity." Flip the pain on its head, and you will find your purpose. CONNECT WITH ELAINE LANKFORD

The Audacity of DaughtershipFor every aspiring entrepreneur or ministry leader, imposter syndrome is a heavy weight. Elaine reveals the instant focus-shifter: embracing our Sonship (Daughtership) authority. True confidence comes from moving past what others say and focusing solely on what God says about you. The most empowering truth is understanding the Biblical insights that define your status: You are the head and not the tail, and above and not beneath. When you embody this truth—when you stand in the authority of your God-inspired DNA calling—the world, truly, is waiting for what you have to offer. The Elizabeth and Mary Model: Women Raising Up WomenOur discussion culminated in one of the most beautiful pictures of connecting with God and female empowerment in scripture: the story of Elizabeth and Mary. The angel’s subtle instruction led Mary to walk 70 miles. Why? Because she needed Elizabeth. She needed to be prophesied over, affirmed, and empowered by an older woman who understood the impossible miracle she was carrying. As Elaine powerfully stated, "Elizabeth was there to comfort and empower and encourage Mary... This is a beautiful picture of how women are supposed to be raising up women." This is the key to unlocking your destiny. You must find your Elizabeth—the person who will validate the miracle in your womb (your business, your book, your ministry) and speak fulfillment over it.

Embracing divine comfort. Can we really be comfortable with ourselves in God? Does your ego, the left brain of life, keep you under fire at the altar of burnt offerings? Or doing another load of self laundry at the laver? Do you struggle with thoughts circling in your head, consistently reminding you of imperfections, what needs to change, or improve? Embracing divine comfort, finding your sanctuary in God's love. A sanctuary? What does that feel like? How would I encounter God's love in a way that looked and felt like me? This episode is pulling out five insights as easily as pushing a button on the remote and exploring how simple divine truths can transform our journey and everyday life. Do you ever feel like your life is a constant loop of self-laundry, endlessly washing away imperfections at the "laver" of your mind? In a world that constantly demands improvement, it’s easy for our inner critic—that analytical, left-brained ego—to keep us under fire. But what if the relentless struggle for self-acceptance is entirely unnecessary? What if, as the Apostle Paul suggests, you are already "gift-wrapped" and perfect in your original design? This episode explores five profound insights to help you push the remote, tune out the noise, and step into your ordained sanctuary of divine comfort. Habitual Renewal: "This is his work. All we have to do is ponder the truth." The Ocean of Unconditional GraceImagine standing at the edge of a tropical ocean—vast, warm, and inviting. This is the extravagant dimension of grace that envelops you, regardless of your past performance or perceived shortcomings. Grace has no favorites; it extends equally to the largest and smallest of beings. This is the environment where you find divine comfort and assurance in your original, likable self. This comfort is a resting place, not a striving one. On Self-Acceptance: "This ocean of grace wraps each of us regardless of our past performance or perceived shortcomings, offering us a sanctuary where we find divine comfort, assurance and our original and likable self." —Kristen Wambach Habitually Renewed: His Work, Our Struggle often boils down to noisy, self-critical thoughts. We wrestle between our practical self and our intuition. The answer, according to scripture, is simple and radical: “Thus you are habitually renewed in your innermost mind. This will cause you to be completely reprogrammed in the way you think about yourself.” The key is to ponder the truth about you as it’s displayed in Christ.  You Can Never Be More Co-Raised Than What You Already AreThis is the bedrock of the sanctuary. Whether you slept on the couch last night or feel miles away from spiritual perfection, the truth remains: You can never be more co-raised or co-elevated than what you already are now. You can never be more saved or more in Christ. This co-seatedness in the heavenly realm is outside of time—the beginning, middle, and end. Even your past decisions, held in His redemptive oneness, do not disqualify you. Our journey now is simply about growing in the awareness of this already accomplished redemption. Your Sanctuary makes you feel... |
| Your Sanctuary Looks Like You. A sanctuary isn't a generic church room—it's intensely personal. It is uniquely designed by the "world's most famous interior designer" and looks and feels like a list of your favorite things. It’s the mountain vista that humbles you, the smell of the forest that restores you, the elegance of white roses that speak of the Bridegroom's love. Every detail looks like you because that is how God sees you while He is sitting inside your spirit. Your sanctuary is your original identity, a story without words, a heavenly picture drawn on your heart. It is the intimate space where there is “no I or you.” |  |
Comfortable in His Comfort: The Sword of Zayin. To truly become comfortable in this divine comfort, we must address the things that keep us out of it: self-protective mechanisms. These are the coping tools we use when we feel vulnerable—procrastination, sarcasm, deferring to others, or projection. Drawing insight from the Hebrew letter Zayin (meaning both a sword and sustenance), we recognize that this “sword of the Lord” cuts out the things that are not serving us, so we can receive true nourishment. The act of nailing these defense mechanisms to the cross is a necessary step into unhindered comfort.
 | Summary: The episode is a transformative reminder that Christian spiritual growth is not about strenuous striving, but about surrendered awareness. We are not pursuing grace; we are already swimming in it. Our spirit was never contaminated. We are perpetually co-raised and co-elevated with Christ. By pondering this truth and shedding our self-protective masks, we claim our personal, custom-designed sanctuary of divine comfort—our beautiful, gift-wrapped self. |

A self-protective mechanism is a behavior or coping tool that people use to protect themselves when they feel unsafe, out of control, or vulnerable. These mechanisms can become automatic and can cause people to sabotage their relationships.
Some examples of self-protective mechanisms include:
Self-protective mechanisms can be activated when someone experiences a threat to their positive self-views, such as being criticized, performing poorly on an exam, or social rejection.
Some examples of self-protective mechanisms include:
- Withdrawal: Avoiding confrontation by pulling away from others

Stop Just Praying| The 5 Daily Steps to Fix Your Body, Mind, & Spirit with Dr. Len Lopez ❖ 244

|
“Your habits and attitude are your spiritual DNA, the genetic code that determines the trajectory of your growth and achievement.” —Dr. Len Lopez
STOP JUST PRAYING💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Habits and Attitude are Your DNA: Just like your genetic code, your daily habits and attitude determine your achievement and growth. The Five Steps provide a visual tracking tool to encourage positive momentum.
- Digestive Health is the First Domino: Chronic issues often trace back to poor digestive function, whether due to poor dietary choices or the habit of eating "on the run" under stress.
- Stress is More Than Mental: Physical stressors like low blood sugar (from waiting too long to eat) and over-exercising can elevate cortisol, putting the body in constant "fight or flight" mode, draining overall resources.
- The Spiritual Muscle: Working your spiritual muscles—through scripture, fellowship, service, or listening to uplifting music—is vital. Neglecting your spirit is like skipping a meal; it leaves you empty.
- Counteracting Negative Thinking: Since about 80% of our thoughts are often negative repeats, the "Think" step encourages putting in small "drops" of positive affirmations throughout the day to cultivate a confident and positive state.
- Starting the Day Strong: An empowering takeaway is the necessity of giving yourself an affirmation the moment your feet hit the floor, rather than waiting for external circumstances to dictate your mindset.

Welcome to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast blog, where we pursue Christian spiritual growth and Divine wisdom! I’m your host, Kristen Wambach, and today, we’re unpacking powerful biblical insights with Dr. Len Lopez to understand how we can live a truly balanced, Spirit-led life. We are the temple of God, and as Dr. Lopez reminds us, a temple has many rooms—Body, Mind, and Spirit—all requiring intentional upkeep.
📝 SummaryIn this insightful episode, host Kristen Wambach and Dr. Len Lopez explore his "Five Steps a Day" framework, designed to help listeners assess and improve their daily habits concerning their Body, Mind, and Spirit. Dr. Lopez emphasizes that true health requires balancing physical actions (eating right, training smart) with mental habits (thinking better) and spiritual nourishment (working spiritual muscles). Key discussions include the importance of vision and destination (the "Sleep" step, where you visualize your goals until you feel the emotion), the role of digestive health as a "first domino" in overall well-being, and the necessity of positive self-talk to counteract the tendency toward negative thoughts. The framework provides a simple, visual, and non-judgmental way to track progress and become "bigger, better, bolder."
CONNECT WITH DR. LEN LOPEZ
To neglect your spirit is like skipping a meal. It's going to leave you empty. And so if you can just find time, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, whatever it is for you... that's what I'm hoping people will recognize." —Dr. Len Lopez
The Foundation: Habits and Attitude as Your DNA Dr. Lopez’s journey, spanning 25 years in health and fitness, revealed a profound truth: physical problems rarely exist in a vacuum. His creation, the Five Steps a Day framework, is a simple, visual tool designed to track how you are feeding your entire being. He states that your habits and attitude are your DNA; they are the code that determines your success or your struggles.
Dr. Lopez notes: “Your habits and attitude are like your DNA. It's your genetic code... you may see that maybe some of your accomplishments and achievements in life, that your habits and attitude were in a more positive direction for your overall growth.”
By tracking your steps, you get the essential "data" to course-correct and become bigger, better, bolder. This commitment is a powerful component of your faith journey.

Step 1: Sleep—The Map to Your Land of Milk and HoneyWe often think of sleep simply as rest, but Dr. Lopez elevates it to a spiritual and mental exercise. The "Sleep" step asks: Did you sleep with a smile on your face? This is about more than eight hours; it’s about visualization. Before drifting off, you must focus and visualize your personal "Land of Milk and Honey"—the destination, the goal, or the person God calls you to be.
As I shared on the episode, we must: “Stay in that place until you can feel that tangible emotion, whether it's an enjoyment, whether it's an affirmation, whether it's just this little nugget that Holy Spirit gives you. Stay in that emotion.”
This process programs your subconscious mind to chew on your destination for seven to eight hours. If you don't know where you are going, Dr. Lopez warns, you might end up in the land of heartaches and headaches. This conscious dreaming is a key practice for connecting with God and aligning your desires with His.

Step 2 & 3: Eat Right and Train Smart—Caring for the Physical TempleDr. Lopez, an acclaimed author on spirituality and health, emphasizes that the physical body is directly tied to our mental and spiritual state.
The "Eat" step is not about perfection, but direction. We discussed the common mistake of waiting too long to eat after waking up. When your blood sugar drops, your body produces stress hormones (cortisol) just as if you were worried. This brings us to a critical finding from his practice: digestive health is the first domino in a vicious cycle of fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and sugar cravings. Proper nutrition is an essential part of Spirit-led living podcast.
Similarly, "Train Smart" recognizes that exercise is a stressor. For many, especially the deconditioned, jogging too fast can actually elevate stress hormones, working against their goals. Practical spirituality podcast means understanding your body's limits and training in a way that minimizes cortisol spikes. As the ancient philosopher reminds us: “To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear.” (Buddha).

Step 4 & 5: Think Better and Work Your Spiritual MusclesThe mental and spiritual steps are where the profound healing and transformation podcast occurs. Researchers suggest we process 50,000 thoughts a day, with about 80% being negative repeats from the day before. The "Think Better" step is your spiritual intervention. It encourages small, positive affirmations throughout the day—a minute here, a minute there—to counteract the negative narrative. As an experienced spiritual coach, I love the concept of putting in "drops" of positive thinking until it creates a “big stain” of confidence.
Finally, "Work Your Spiritual Muscles" acknowledges that strengthening your faith is like lifting weights—it requires consistency. Dr. Lopez states, “To neglect your spirit is like skipping a meal. It's going to leave you empty. And so if you can just find time, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, whatever it is for you... that's what I'm hoping people will recognize.”
This doesn't mean only reading scripture; it includes fellowship, service, listening to Christian music, and simply finding time for Conversations with Jesus. This approach affirms that “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” (Aristotle). Applying biblical principles starts with disciplined self-care. The Five Steps are a powerful, visual way to take charge of your life, enabling you to step into the empowering faith messages God has for you.

"He doesn't want to talk about what I'm trying to do. He wants to talk about how He sees me and transfer His picture from heaven of me into my heart."—Tony Stoltzfus
One Question?EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Discipline fueled by shame/guilt is an idol; Desire fueled by relationship is the path to true change.
- A clear picture of heaven prevents you from making idols out of earthly people or possessions, as they can’t compare to eternal fulfillment.
This week's episode challenges you to stop treating your faith like a business transaction. Your main activation today is to ask Jesus one question about His affection for you, not your assignment. True Christian spiritual growth is rooted in receiving, not achieving.

Summary
This episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast features a transformative discussion with Tony Stoltzfus on shifting from a performance-based faith to a relationship-centered one. Tony introduces the reality of being seated in Christ now, which changes how we view our worth. He details how changing prayer focus from doing (the business of Christianity) to being (asking what Jesus likes about us) led to an exponential increase in hearing God's voice. This relational shift replaces the "good boy" idol of discipline with praying your desire, enabling Christian spiritual growth that is led by desire rather than effort. Ultimately, trust is presented as the bridge that connects our earthly reality to the eternal Divine wisdom and lack of regret found in heaven, allowing us to hold earth lightly and live in the confidence of His relentless goodness.

Why Your 'Good Boy' Christianity is Sabotaging Your Spiritual Growth
Welcome back to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast! As your host, Kristen Wambach, I’m thrilled to share one of the most transformative conversations we’ve ever had about bridging heaven and earth. So many of us are locked in a spiritual performance trap, believing that if we just pray harder, study more, or keep better discipline, we'll finally be "good enough" for God. We treat our faith like a business, constantly asking Jesus what we need to do next.
But what if the whole point isn't your performance, but His perspective?
This week, acclaimed author and spiritual coach Tony Stoltzfus turned our expectations upside down, revealing that the true path to a transformative Christian life is found not in more effort, but in a radical shift in prayer and identity.

Seated in Heaven, Living on Earth, Tony introduced a profound concept that instantly changes your self-perception: seatedness in Christ. We often view this as an abstract idea, but in heaven’s time system, it’s a present reality. Jesus isn't waiting for you to clean yourself up; He sees the glorified you seated right next to Him now.When we look at our own flaws, our immediate instinct is condemnation. But Jesus looks at us, His perfected reflection, and asks, "Why would you think that?" This perspective alone is a powerful force for healing and transformation. Our feelings of inadequacy lose their grip when we recognize that our worth is already secured in an eternal dimension.

Envisioning Heaven: More Than Pearly Gates 🌠
Forty years ago, a short, timeless visit inspired me. Heaven felt like falling into paradise—a realm operating beyond our 4D understanding, much like the distant galaxies I studied with my telescope.
For 20 years in coaching, I built "Taste of Heaven" experiences using music, staging, and art to immerse participants in acceptance. The real challenge came a decade ago: I started rewriting people’s worst life experiences from heaven's perspective.
How could heaven redeem a child lost in childbirth or a mother whose daughter never said "mommy"? Heaven had powerful answers. For the mother whose child couldn't speak, heaven promised perfect cognitive reunion: reliving every moment with her daughter’s true self.
This journey culminated in two books. Heaven’s Perspective collects 17 such redemptive stories. My latest, Heaven: Experience the Extraordinary, describes a world where gravity is optional, wrong action is impossible, and God is overwhelmingly better than imagined. Heaven isn't just a place; it’s the ultimate reality where every loss is redeemed.

The 1,000% Prayer Shift Tony, who identifies as a thinker, confessed his struggle with the "is it me or is it God?" dilemma. He realized his early prayers were all about the business of being a Christian: God, what do you want me to do today? Should I buy this?
The breakthrough came when he started asking questions about the relationship:
Trading the Idol of Discipline for Desire, this concept of effortless receiving is critical to overcoming what Tony calls our "original wound." For him, it was the need to be a "good boy" to be accepted. This wound often turns discipline—our Bible study plans, our prayer hours—into an idol we use to feel good about ourselves. When God, in His love, sometimes pulls the plug on our self-made structure, we crash into condemnation.
Tony learned a different way: changing without discipline, through desire.
Our desires were designed to be filled by God. Tony refers to this as praying your desire, rooted in James 4: "You do not have because you do not ask." Instead of chasing the thing you think will meet your need (an idol), you go straight to Jesus with the desire itself:
Trust: The Bridge Between Heaven and Earth lack of a clear picture of heaven leaves most Christian spiritual growth focused solely on "my best life now." Tony reminds us that our true destiny is far grander. After losing his home in a forest fire, he learned to hold earth lightly. The things he lost—the furniture he designed, the personal treasures—he recognized were not lost forever. They, or something much better, would be restored in heaven.
This heavenly perspective prevents regret. Trust is the bridge that allows us to access the spiritual realm and the Divine wisdom it holds. It is a necessary component for the Rhema, the experiential word that bypasses our purely rational brain

"I think the biggest cause of unanswered prayer is that we're praying for an idol. We're praying for something in this world... that we think will give us our desire." --Tony Stoltzfus
| "God is always "gooder" than my current bandwidth about him. He's always better." —Kristen Wambach MEET THE BLOGGER >>On my journey of answering 70 of the most asked questions by famous interviewers and podcasters, Last week's follow... This Week's Question: What is a common myth about your job or industry? Hmm? The most common misinformation is that people feel like they will be deceived. Instead of relying on Holy Spirit who leads you into all TRUTH, and His name is Jesus Christ. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13 |  |
But when she is come, the Spirit of truth, she will take you by the hand and guide you into the path of all truth. She will not draw attention to herself but will communicate and 1unveil everything she hears and discerns from a heavenly perspective about the things that are 4about to happen within you. (While spirit is in the neuter gender, truth is feminine. In Hebrew, the word for spirit is רוּח ruach, which is Feminine.

"God is always gooder than my current bandwidth about him. He's always better." —Kristen Wambach
How Good is God?EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Small Wins Build Confidence: Creating immediate momentum through simple, achievable daily tasks like making your bed or drinking water is vital for mental clarity and spiritual receptivity.
- Wield Your Internal Narrative: Consciously erase self-critical language and replace it with positive or neutral statements that align with who God says you are.
- Communicate Your Needs: It is your responsibility to clearly communicate your needs to your spouse or support system so they can effectively help you and you can negotiate for peace.
- Rely on God's Faith: When your own trust is shaky, lean on the proven truth that God is always gooder and rely on His perfect faith in the ultimate positive outcome.

This episode encourages the listener to fully embrace trust in God—defined scripturally as complete reliance on His character—especially during periods of change, crisis, or uncertainty. Host Kristen Wambach uses Proverbs 3:5-7 as the foundation, blending spiritual disciplines (prayer, communion, repenting) with practical self-care habits (making the bed, drinking water, positive self-talk) to build daily confidence. The core takeaway is shifting reliance from one's own limited understanding to God's proven goodness and His own faithful vision for the outcome (His faith). The host shares a personal testimony about a late-night encounter that reinforced her feeling of being a "safe place" in God's plan.
- Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."
- — Corrie ten Boom
Hello and welcome to the show. Let's dive in.
I want to take you back to a familiar scripture I had on a plaster plaque as a little girl, given to me by my grandmother: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and depart from evil. (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Can we really trust God, especially in the midst of change, in the midst of decision-making, in the midst of a health crisis, or a drastic financial shift? Can you and I, in this season, trust God? And what does that look like practically so that we feel safe, protected, and motivated?

The Power of Practical Trust: How Daily Habits and God’s Faith Direct Your Path
We all face seasons where the future feels like an open, intimidating question mark. Whether it's a financial upheaval, a family crisis, or simply the daily pressure of decision-making, the call to trust God can feel like a spiritual hurdle too high to clear. Yet, as the familiar words of Proverbs 3:5-7 remind us—**“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding”—**this foundation is available to us, anchoring us in the tumultuous currents of life.
The great civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr., captured this perfectly when he said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” This isn't passive hope; it's an active, moment-by-moment declaration of faith. But how do we bridge the gap between that profound theological truth and our frantic, day-to-day need for peace? The answer lies in a powerful blend of spiritual disciplines and practical, confidence-building habits.

Building Trust Through Spiritual Rhythms
Trust with God is built through a relationship. This begins with consistent spiritual application:
Trust with God is built through a relationship. This begins with consistent spiritual application:
- Daily Communication: Talk to God through prayer, listen for His voice, and write down your insights.
- Repentance as Re-Tuning: Repenting isn't just about guilt; it’s about re-tuning your actions and mindset to get back into harmony with who God says you are. It’s turning around from limiting thoughts and embracing the forgiveness already won for you.
- Forgiving Yourself: One of the greatest challenges is granting ourselves grace. We must be strong in His presence, not our own strength, and then seal that assurance with communion.

Small Wins, Big Confidence: The Power of the Mundane
Our trust in God is profoundly connected to the confidence we build in ourselves through small, achievable wins. When you keep promises to yourself, you build your internal integrity.
Let’s talk about the simplest action: making your bed. It might sound unspiritual, but the act of finishing one task—the first task of the day—orders your mind and creates immediate momentum. Just as a bird cleans its nest or the cosmos follow God’s divine order, we find peace in establishing daily governance over our immediate environment. Statistically, people who habitually make their beds report a higher sense of accomplishment, and that small feeling of completion is vital for a spirit-led life.
Other simple habits include:

Other simple habits include:
- Hydration First: Drink a full glass of water before your first cup of coffee.
- Task Writing: Write down specific, must-finish tasks to gain mental clarity and immediate momentum. Movement in the physical and mental realm helps you tune into hearing God.
The Battle of the Mind: Rewiring Your Inner Dialogue
Trust is heavily influenced by your internal narrative. We must pay attention to our self-critical, limiting language and consciously replace it. If God wouldn’t say it to you, why are you repeating it?
Trust is heavily influenced by your internal narrative. We must pay attention to our self-critical, limiting language and consciously replace it. If God wouldn’t say it to you, why are you repeating it?
- Catch and erase phrases like, “I’m always unproductive” or “I’m just going to mess up.”
- Replace them with proactive statements: “I’ve prepared, and even if it’s not perfect, I can handle it and I’m learning.”
- Simply receive a compliment by saying "Thank you," instead of dismissing it.

Rely on God’s Faith, Not Just Your Own
The ultimate shift in trust comes when we stop muscling up our own weak faith and start relying on God’s faith. The dynamic of the gospel is the revelation of God’s righteousness and God’s faith as the only valid basis for our belief (Romans 1:17).

- God is always better and gooder than your current capacity to understand Him. When trust feels shaky, go back and ask: How good is God in this situation?
- He has already planned the outcome of His goodness. When we lean on His faith—His perfect vision—for the unknown future, we find the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Beyond Sunday: How to End Spiritual Malnutrition in Your Life with D'wayne J. Louard ❖ 240
10/23/2025
|
If your spiritual health crumbled when the last storm hit, Pastor D'wayne Louard reveals the 3 clear signs you're running on empty and the one divine technology that changes everything.
DIVING TECHNOLOGYI've discovered that prayer is not a routine. It's really a responsibility. It's a conversation." —D'wayner J. Louard EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- The Technology of Prayer: Use prayer as a "technology" to manifest that which is "settled in heaven" into your immediate earthly circumstances.
- Plug In Before the Storm: Spiritual maturity is built by making the decision to follow Jesus and build your foundation before the inevitable afflictions and storms arrive.
- Intimacy is the Static Filter: Tune out the world's noise by consistently drawing closer to God through His Word and prayer, making His voice unmistakable
- The Covering is Intentionality: Spiritual covering for your family is directly tied to the intentionality and consistency of your daily prayer life.
The measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." — Martin Luther King Jr.
Are you spiritually malnourished without even realizing it? You attend church, you serve, but when the storm hits, your foundation crumbles. This week on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with Pastor D’wayne Louard, founder of Grow Beyond Sunday, to expose the three most common signs of a faith running on empty. If you’re ready to move past complacency and master the technology of prayer that actually changes your life, this episode is your blueprint for a powerful, practical lifestyle of faith.

Host Kristen Wambach welcomes Pastor D’wayne Louard of Grow Beyond Sunday to tackle the pervasive issue of spiritual malnutrition in the modern church. The conversation moves beyond religious routine, redefining prayer as a responsibility and a divine technology used to enforce heaven's established will on earth. D’wayne outlines the three most dangerous signs of spiritual deficiency and powerfully challenges listeners to abandon the practice of waiting for the inevitable storm to plug into God. The episode emphasizes that intimacy with God is the practical, daily tool for diminishing static, leading to clear, experiential clarity in hearing God's voice, and concludes with a profound call to intentional spiritual leadership through the "Ministry of the Covering." This is an essential discussion for anyone seeking Christian spiritual growth and Spirit-led living beyond the confines of Sunday.
Spiritual Malnutrition is Real
Even for those attending church every week, genuine spiritual growth can feel stalled. D’wayne identifies three common signs that a believer is spiritually undernourished: 1) Lacking a prayer life—operating defensively, reacting to life rather than offensively dictating the atmosphere; 2) No appetite for growth beyond salvation—stopping at the cross instead of pressing deeper into relationship; and 3) Professing faith without holiness—having a mindset that one can live however they want because "Jesus is enough." This is a necessary confrontation for anyone wanting to experience the fullness of the Christian life lessons. If your faith feels reactionary, it's time to shift to proactive, Spiritually brave living.

Prayer is Technology, Not Routine
One of the most profound insights shared in this authentic spiritual discussion is the redefined role of prayer. D’wayne argues that prayer should not be treated as a mere routine, but as a responsibility and a powerful technology. Referencing the disciples asking Jesus, "teach us how to pray," D'wayne illuminates that they weren't asking what to say, but for an exposure to the technology of prayer that grasps results. The purpose of this divine wisdom is clear: "to enforce the glory of our God that is already established... God gives us the technology of prayer to enforce that which is settled in heaven, in our earth." This powerful concept reframes prayer from passive wishing to active, Spirit-led execution, leading to healing and transformation. For listeners seeking a deeper connection with God, this perspective on Conversations with Jesus is revolutionary.

The biggest detriments that come upon believers is this: is they choose to plug in and lock in when the storm has already come upon them." —D'wayne J. Louard
Building the Foundation Before the Storm
In a powerful moment, Kristen Wambach brings forward Jesus' sharp foundational challenge from Luke 6:46: “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?” The most dangerous form of “sand,” D’wayne asserts, is waiting until the storm has already arrived before plugging into the source. Like a personal trainer, he stresses that the decision to build resilience and stand strong must be made beforehand. The afflictions of the righteous will come, but the mature believer knows how to ride the storm because their foundation—their biblical insights and faith journey—was established in times of calm. Applying biblical principles must be a lifestyle, not an emergency response. This practical spirituality podcast encourages listeners to evaluate if they are truly standing on the solid rock of Christ or relying on their own finite strength.

Intimacy Dims the Noise
In a world that is "more and more noisy," how does one tune out the static and ensure they are Hearing God's voice with experiential clarity? D'wayne's immediate tool is simple: prioritize intimacy. He beautifully likens this to dating his wife, learning her likes, dislikes, and movements. Similarly, reading the Word and spending time in communion teaches us the "dance moves" of the Holy Spirit. The noise might still be present, but intimacy allows us to recognize the voice of our Father instantly: "My sheep know my voice. They hear me, they know me." This consistent drawing closer, beyond the confines of Sunday, is essential for Spirit-led living and finding divine wisdom daily. This practice is key for sustained Christian personal development.

The Necessity of The CoveringConcluding the discussion, the pair explores "The Covering," D'wayne's ministry focused on calling men to step into intentional spiritual leadership. D'wayne explains his burden over seeing an attack on men that leaves families vulnerable, stressing that the prayer life of a man is his greatest act of covering. The challenge is clear: "If your children adopted your prayer life, how effective would their prayer life be?" This emphasis on authentic spiritual discussions and accountability is a vital step in empowering faith messages for the modern family. D'wayne’s work is a powerful call for men to step up as husbands and fathers, fostering stronger relationships rooted in intentional, daily faith and bridging heaven and earth podcast principles.
Could we just unpack prayer a little bit so we can lay it out as a conversation? It just doesn't happen in your little secret place in the morning, but that's a conversation that goes throughout the entire day and even in our night season." —Kristen Wambach

Kristen Wambach, your host, welcomes you back to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast. We've all been there: doing everything "right," hitting the milestones, only to find ourselves standing in the rubble of a life we thought was perfectly built. This is the profound moment of Spiritual awakening—the failure that forces surrender. My guest, Tonya Prince, author of the faith-based reflective journal Designed for Purpose, knows this journey intimately. After losing her career, her marriage, and her sense of self at 40, she found herself poured out, with the only place to go being back into the loving arms of Jesus. Her story is a testament to the power of returning to faith, receiving Divine wisdom, and accepting profound grace.
The Lord is never going to open a door for us that we’re not ready to walk through. He needs to refine, he wants to refine our character so that we’re prepared." —Tanya Prince
Tonya’s quote hits the heart of the matter: "We often treat purpose like a destination. But the truth is true purpose is not a grand future event. It’s a daily direction." This powerful truth dismantles the high-performance culture many Christians, including myself, unknowingly adopt. We trade connecting with God for chasing titles, equating vocation with identity, and attempting to earn a destiny that was already given to us.
The things I do need to be an outpouring of who I am. That who I am results in the things I do." —Tanya Prince
The first, and most painful, step in Designed for Purpose is the Pause. When life crashes down—whether through divorce, career loss, or personal failure—we are often forced into stillness. This is not punishment; it is sacred ground. As Tonya shared, the Lord uses these fires to burn everything away that’s not necessary, leaving us clinging only to Him. For the high-performance individual, this forced rest is the hardest spiritual discipline, yet it’s the essential starting point for Hearing God's voice.
Once we pause, we must Reflect. How does the Holy Spirit teach us to process the hard truth of our circumstances? By looking for His hand in the details. Tanya started by reading Psalms and Proverbs, allowing the raw emotions of David to match her own. The supernatural intervention that brought her back to faith was rooted in the Scripture, John 15:5: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." This became her life verse, a reminder that rest in Him replaces the need to strive.
But how do we practically discern God’s direction in our daily spiritual wisdom? Tonya emphasized two key practices:

- Open-Ended Prayer: Instead of listing needs and rushing off, we must pause after praying and give Him time to answer. This is where a clear image, a new thought, or a profound peace can emerge.
- Listening in Movement: For many, like Tanya and myself, focusing on physical activity—running, walking, stretching—actually helps us hear God more clearly. Our senses are engaged in one thing, and the noise of the world is drowned out, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak directly to the heart.
CONNECT WITH TANYA PRINCE
 Many Christians long for something more in life and are seeking to understand God’s specific purpose and direction for them. They often hear the phrase “Listen to God’s voice” or “Follow what the Holy Spirit tells you to do,” but they don’t know how to do this. Designed for Purpose takes individuals through a series of exercises and daily reflections to not only explore what it means to “hear God’s voice” but also apply the insights they experience to their lives. Christians will experience personal growth and spiritual renewal as they discover their unique design, understand how to observe God’s tangible leading in their lives, and boldly step into their purpose. | Designed for Purpose provides an understanding of how individual and tangible moments weave together to demonstrate the voice of God in the lives of Christians.  Every day, God guides and speaks to us. Co-authored by teen Parker Anderson, Designed For Purpose brings together storytelling, real-life experiences, scripture, and insights to help every young man on his journey to hear and know God. With easy-to-understand truth and daily actions, this reflective journal will deepen your understanding of who God is, how He has made you, and who He has created you to become.

When you take something unseen—a word, a vision—and write it down, it goes from the unseen to the seen and it becomes something that's recorded on the earth." —Kristen Wambach
The most transformative tool discussed is Journaling. Tanya has three thick books of reflections, a testimony to the Lord building a repertoire of Conversations with Jesus over time. Journaling takes what is unseen—a dream, a vision, a subtle prompting—and makes it seen and recorded on the earth. It aligns with the prayer: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Writing it down is the act of implementation, the faithful stewardship of divine whispers.

- If you constantly 'suck it up,' then I can't come in and be the Comforter. I can't be your teacher and leader because you're hanging on to it to be strong." —Kristen Wambach
However, none of this is possible without addressing the deep-seated identity issues. For many of us, the bootstrap mentality—the "I can do everything on my own" lie—becomes a spiritual wall. Tanya shared a powerful personal revelation where the root of her bootstrap mentality was traced back to her mother's history as an immigrant, a necessary survival mechanism passed down but no longer serving her relationship with God. This spiritual Healing and transformation required her to stop "sucking it up" and allow Christ to be the Comforter.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens." —Carl Jung
This is the shift from What would Jesus do? to Who does Jesus say that I am? Our actions, our "doing," must be an outpouring of our identity in Christ, not a performance for Him. This commitment to Spirit-led living is what opens new doors. As Tanya experienced, the day she completed an act of obedience—finally publishing her Teen Journal—a new door opened the very next day. This demonstrates the principle of stewardship: when we show we are faithful with the assignment He has given us now, He trusts us with the next calling. Our purpose is not a grand achievement; it is simply being faithful to the daily direction of the Holy Spirit.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
UNLOCKING & RewritingEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Supernatural Wisdom vs. Human Logic: Human logic is limited by the past; divine wisdom is grounded in eternity, seeing the end from the beginning, and providing Spirit-led direction.
- The Life Rewrite: Divine wisdom rewrites your life in three areas: Perspective (seeing challenges as divine setups), Purpose (elevating daily tasks to faith-driven purpose), and Power (supernatural ability to execute God's instruction).
- Actionable Step: Find one moment of exclusive access this week: get silent, and ask Jesus one simple question about one area you need a rewrite in.
We're diving deep into the lie that we have to earn our way into the presence of Jesus. The veil is torn. The door is ALWAYS open. To activate this, all He needs is the real you. Not the polished, not the curated. The messy, authentic you. That’s where the downloads of supernatural wisdom start.
Summary

Ultimately, the episode serves as an empowering guide for connecting with God and embracing Spirit-led living for complete Christian spiritual growth and personal transformation.

Let’s dismantle the lie that exclusive access is elusive. Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Father God are never elusive. They want to find us and have a conversation with Jesus even more than we could imagine. The exclusivity isn't about difficulty for us; it’s about the unique and incomparable source: God Himself.
Before Him, access was limited, mediated by priests and rituals. But now, through the Holy Spirit, the veil is torn, and we get to go directly to the source of all knowledge. This is not a VIP pass earned by performance; it’s an inheritance given to you and I by grace. How do we activate this? Authenticity is key. Jesus doesn't need our polished prayers or curated spiritual facade. He wants the real and messy you. When we lay down our defenses, we open a direct channel for those profound downloads of truth right into our spirit. This is the essence of hearing God’s voice—it’s as close as your next honest conversation.

The wisdom that comes from heaven is first pure, then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. This isn't just knowing the right answers, it's being given the divine blueprint in your life."—Kristen Wambach
What exactly is supernatural wisdom? In James 3:17 (Mirror Translation), we learn it "sets the pace in innocence... It's love's peace, it's always appropriate... filled with compassion." This isn't just knowing the right answers; it's being given the divine blueprint for your life.
Human logic is limited. It’s based on what has been seen, learned, and calculated—it’s grounded in the past and cannot see tomorrow. Divine wisdom, however, is grounded in eternity, and eternity sees the end from the beginning. Think about the confusing decisions you are facing right now. Human wisdom would analyze pros and cons. But in a conversation with Jesus, we get a Spirit-led direction that bypasses obvious traps and leads directly to "good fruit." He discusses pros and cons with us, asking our opinion, but then His Spirit moves within us so we know which way to go. This is practical spirituality in action. We arrive at good fruit by practicing what we’ve heard, just like cultivating a garden under the care of the Master Gardener.

The door is always open for you. Always. Always, always, always. Let's dismantle the lie that exclusive access is elusive. Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Trinity, they are never elusive." —Kristen Wambach
The Life Rewrite: Perspective, Purpose, and Power. Life rewritten is a life transformed. This transformation happens in three key turning-point areas:
- Perspective: We see challenges not as dead ends, but as a setup for divine intervention. Our different perspective allows healing and transformation to occur. Our past choices of youth or even our mistakes from yesterday are turned into wisdom nuggets to share. Grace is what cleans up the mess through forgiveness and clarity for tomorrow.
- Purpose: Your daily tasks shift from a mundane duty to finding purpose through faith. This is Christian personal development fueled by divine instruction, giving you the intent for your day.
- Power: Wisdom brings with it the supernatural power to execute it. This is Understanding the Holy Spirit in action, partnering with you. When we write down the words and honor what we have heard, we activate a perspective, purpose, and power that replaces that old life—a disguise that was foreign to our design.
- Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Discover the Joy waiting for each of us in His presence. Holy Spirit will always lead you and me into a good chuckle or two! My QUEST to answer ALL 70 of the most asked questions by famous Interviewers and Podcasters. Last weeks Today's Question: What's your favorite funny story to tell people? |  |
Years ago, when my boys were just toddlers, my husband, Don, and I lived on a small acre farm in Woodburn, Oregon, where we kept all sorts of critters. One day, I brought home three Red Duroc piglets from the local auction in Woodburn. I was under the impression they would stay put behind an electric fence. This is not true.
The next morning, the piglets were gone! I immediately spray-painted a desperate sign on plywood—"Help! Missing Pigs!"—and posted it by Boones Ferry Road. We searched high and low, only to find them up the road in a senior citizen's yard, enthusiastically rooting up his beloved, newly laid turf.
After a messy retrieval (and getting pig poo-mud all over me!), we got those little rascals secured behind proper hog panels. We promised the sweet gentleman a future ham, repaired his lawn, and all was forgiven! It was a chaotic lesson in farm life and the limits of an electric fence!

Don't settle for that old script. Don't settle for yesterday. Get quiet, ask Jesus, not just for the blessing, but for the clarity of heart." —Kristen Wambach
The truth is, you co-died and were co-resurrected with Christ. All we are doing is asking Jesus to make Himself experiential to us. The wisdom available to you today is profound. Don't settle for that old script. Get quiet and ask Jesus not just for a blessing, but for clarity of heart. What is the next divinely inspired sentence He wants to write in your story? Like the widow in the Old Testament, go close yourself behind the door, get alone, and listen. Together, we bridge heaven and earth, embracing spiritually brave living by trusting this divine access. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of applying living biblical principles. Be brave, listen closely, keep talking to Jesus, and I will see you again next week!

In the relentless clamor of the modern world, where self-worth is often gauged by the volume of external applause, it’s remarkably easy to feel unseen. We are perpetually scrolling, comparing, and chasing a version of success that is fleeting and ultimately hollow. We live in an oblivious world—a place where the most profound truth about you is often overshadowed by trivial, momentary distractions. Yet, I am here today, as your Trusted Christian Voice and Transformational Spiritual Leader, to tell you that in the quiet sanctuary of your heart, a different reality exists—a reality where the greatest celebration you will ever experience is happening right now.
This Biblically sound teaching is beautifully captured in one of the most intimate and radical promises in the Bible, a true gem for anyone on a Faith Journey Podcast: Zephaniah 3:17. This verse is the spiritual game-changer we need today: "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."
Let’s unpack this divine promise and allow its Empowering Faith Messages to redefine your value.

First, consider the singer: "The Mighty Warrior who saves." This is not a passive spectator; this is the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-capable God. The one who parts seas, moves mountains, and orchestrates the cosmos is focused entirely on you. He is connecting with God in the most personal way. Furthermore, the word "saves" (or sozo) is not just about arriving in heaven; it’s about a journey of being healed and delivered, an invitation to Spirit-led Living right here, right now, as a partner with Him.
- He doesn't just tolerate you and I, he celebrates you. And this shifts our perspective from seeking God's approval to simply receiving God's pleasure." —Kristen Wambach
Promised: Surfin' USA with Granddaughter Liesel | Second, consider the action: "He will take great delight in you." The word delight implies a deep, profound joy and pleasure. It’s the kind of joy a proud parent feels watching their child simply exist, a completely unconditional joy. Your existence is a source of happiness for God. He doesn't just tolerate you; He celebrates you. This is the heart of Divine Wisdom. This shifts our perspective from seeking God’s approval to simply receiving God’s pleasure. And when we hold our heads high and celebrate ourselves, we are acknowledging His pleasure, which strengthens our boundaries and helps us avoid relationship calamity. |
Third, the most striking element: "He will rejoice over you with singing." This is God, our Father, our Creator, belting out a loud song over you. The world may be distracted, your to-do list might be incomplete, and you may feel utterly mediocre, but God’s soundtrack for your life is one of triumphant, uninhibited joy. This divine music is intended to quiet you by His love, allowing you to rest in the assurance of your worth.

The Activation: Trading Oblivion for Celebration
The challenge for us, as we embrace Christian Spiritual Growth and engage in Authentic Spiritual Discussions on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, is to actively join God’s celebration of us. This is the Practical Spirituality Podcast principle of alignment. How do we do that? By making three conscious choices:
1. Re-label Your Flaws as His Canvas: Stop waiting for the world to notice your external shine and start noticing the internal transformation He is working on. As an Experienced Spiritual Coach, I’ve seen that our imperfections are the very places where His grace is most perfectly displayed. The scripture says, He will no longer rebuke you," because of Jesus' sacrifice. Embrace this Healing and Transformation Podcast insight.
2. Listen for the Loud Singing (Practice Presence): Hearing God's Voice is a choice. When feelings of inadequacy creep in, you must use your imagination to choose God's loud song over the world's whisper of failure. This is done through practical choices: choosing praise music over self-help episodes when you’re overwhelmed, or choosing to allow God to redirect another person's bad attitude rather than defending or entertaining it. This practice brings an aha moment—a moment of awareness of His presence.
3. Align Your Steps with Delight: Since God delights in every detail of your life (Psalm 37:23), start delighting in the life He has given you. Stop waiting for the big breakthrough to be happy. Celebrate the small kindnesses, the moments of patience, and the courage it takes to simply get up and try again. This daily act of gratitude is how we live a Spirit-led Living life and practice Christian Personal Development, successfully applying Biblical Principles to our lives.

You were never meant to earn your worth; you were only meant to receive it. Today, let the King of the universe's powerful anthem of joy quiet your heart. Your value is not negotiable; it is a done deal, sealed by His everlasting love. Now, let's stop chasing the noise and start dancing to the sound of God's song.
A daily act of gratitude is how we live spiritually brave and we practice our development and we feel our growth in the Spirit." —Kristen Wambach

"If the thief is for death, loss, and destruction, but Jesus is after life, it is elsewhere said that death is an enemy. We're seeing that's the work of the thief. Then Jesus is only about life. That's all he's ever been about." —Michael C. King
CURIOSITY & FAITHEpisode Highlights
|
- Check your agreements: What are the subtle ways you are agreeing with death in your life, your words, or your mindset?
- Communion is transformative: The communion meal serves as a powerful vehicle for receiving and sharing the abundant life of Christ.
Get ready to be stretched and inspired as we dive into a conversation with biblical insights, stories, encounters, and divine wisdom, bravely addressing what it truly means to live a life that says all death is an enemy, Jesus gave us the keys, and we are to live accordingly. Let's welcome Michael King.
What if everything you thought you knew about death and dying was based on a misunderstanding? For too long, the Church has been taught a "heaven when you die" gospel, one that accepts death as a normal, natural part of the Christian life. But what if Jesus didn't just die to give us a ticket to heaven, but to give us life and immortality right here, right now? This is the transformative message at the heart of my conversation with Michael King on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast.
|
|
|
In this episode, I'm joined by Michael King, author of The Gospel of Life and Immortality, who presents a radical idea: that we, as believers, have become too comfortable with death. Michael challenges us to confront death as an enemy, just as Jesus did. He explains that the biblical call is not to simply accept decay but to actively reverse it, not just for ourselves but for all of creation. Drawing on scripture from Romans, John, and Hebrews, Michael and I discuss how our beliefs directly impact our reality and how living in alignment with Jesus's victory over death can transform every aspect of our lives. This conversation highlights the difference between a "heaven when you die" gospel and the "eternal life" Jesus offers here and now, which is a life that is "ever increasing in quality and ever increasing in length of life."
We have these justifications for, 'Well, you know, as you age and as you get older, it's perfectly normal if you have death and decay at work in their body'... I'm like, no, I don't know how it is. Because if what Jesus said is that he's about life, if death is an enemy... then that means that's out of divine order, which means it's our job to restore and enforce that divine order that Jesus sent us to go do." |  |
Highlights
- Complacency with death: We've been conditioned to accept sickness, decay, and death as a normal part of life, but the Bible teaches that death is an enemy to be defeated.
- The Gospel of Life:
Jesus came to give us life and immortality, not just a way to escape death.3 - Reclaiming Authority: As believers, we have been given the keys to reverse death and enforce heaven's reality on earth.
- Beliefs and Reality: Our internal beliefs and agreements with death create a negative feedback loop that limits how much life we experience.
- Biblical Decontextualization: Examining verses like Hebrews 9:27 and John 10:10 in their full context reveals a radical message of life and immortality.
- The Restoration of All Things: Our victory over death is the first step in releasing all of creation from its bondage to decay, as described in Romans 8.
Connect with Michael C. King
Michael challenges us to see death not as a passage, but as a sworn enemy. He points to John 10:10, where Jesus contrasts the thief, who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, with His own purpose: to give us life, and have it to the full. This isn't a vague promise for the afterlife; it's a daily spiritual wisdom for our faith journey podcast. It's about living a life so infused with God's goodness that there is no room for decay or destruction.
The core of this revelation is found in the very fabric of our being. As Michael explains, the Bible explicitly states that "the last enemy to be destroyed is death." If death is the enemy, then we, as followers of Christ, are on the front lines of a spiritual war to reclaim life. The first step is to recognize how deeply we've agreed with death in our daily lives. From the "until death do us part" of wedding vows to the concept of a "bucket list" before we "kick the bucket," our language and mindsets are often in direct opposition to the transformational spiritual leader who is Jesus.

From the "until death do us part" of wedding vows to the concept of a "bucket list" before we "kick the bucket," our language and mindsets are often in direct opposition to the transformational spiritual leader who is Jesus.
Michael shares a radical example of this truth in action: praying over roadkill. While it may sound strange, it perfectly illustrates the principle that the power of the gospel is meant to bring life to all creation. As Romans 8 describes, all creation is groaning, waiting for the "sons and daughters of God to step into the fullness of manifestation" so that we can release it from its bondage to decay. Our redemption is the first fruit of this larger restoration.
The power of this teaching lies in its simplicity and profound depth. Michael clarifies that the oft-quoted Hebrews 9:27--"it is appointed for man to die once"—is only a dependent clause. The full context shows that Jesus died for us, taking on the death we were meant to die, so that we don't have to. This revelation is a cornerstone of authentic spiritual discussions and biblically sound teaching.

This revelation is a cornerstone of authentic spiritual discussions and biblically sound teaching.
Ultimately, this is a call to align our beliefs with God's. We've been in a spiritual tug-of-war, receiving occasional infusions of life through prayer while our underlying beliefs about sickness, aging, and death remain unchanged. But what happens when we stop agreeing with death and fully embrace our role as Spirit-led enforcers of heaven's will on earth? This Christian personal development is about more than just healing in the moment; it's about a complete healing and transformation of our reality. When the life of God is more powerful in us than death, we won't just get healed—we will live in a state of divine wisdom and increasing vitality.

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."— Martin Luther King Jr.
LOVE IS...
|
- "Keep Your Love On" is a radical act of self-control and a powerful choice to take responsibility for your own emotions.
- God’s kindness is a model for our own. His resolute refusal to let go of us is an echo of His own character that He hears in us.
What does taking responsibility for your own emotions truly look like in your life? Is it blaming others? Or is it choosing to respond in a way that honors your inner peace, your identity, who you know you truly are?" —Kristen Wambach

In this conversation, Kristen Wambach explores the themes of chaos, emotional response, and the power of kindness in navigating life's challenges. Through personal stories and reflections, she emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's identity and love in the face of turmoil, encouraging listeners to choose kindness over fear and to recognize their God-given identity.
In a world that often feels like a country in chaos and turmoil, it’s tempting to feel the pressure to react. When the world rages, what do we do? We can so easily adopt a new identity—one that's fierce, reactive, and defensive. Today, on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, I want to share a story that Holy Spirit asked me to tell, one from almost forty years ago. In it, you will find fear, misunderstanding, and a beautiful miracle that taught me a profound lesson about kindness, identity, and the power of love.
Do you... respond or become like a cobra? Someone who coils and gets ready to strike, who protects power and danger to keep the world at bay?" —Kristen Wambach
My story begins in Aurora, Oregon, at what we called “the train house.” One day, while waiting for my kindergartner, Joseph, the train tracks were blocked. And from a parked freight train, a very large man in camouflage clothing hopped out and began walking towards me. My first thoughts were a rush of fear. But Holy Spirit gave me a different perspective, reminding me of my recent prison ministry. This man’s name, he told me with a tough voice, was Cobra.
In that moment, I had a choice. Would I meet his fear and anger with my own? Would I see him as a symbol of the world's chaos? Then, the brilliance of God whispered, "Ask him what his mother calls him." That simple question changed everything. The man’s demeanor of power and protection melted away, and he sheepishly replied, "Clarence."

Who told you it wasn't working? |
We are all called to live a life that reflects God's identity, our "original name." The greatest principle is love. This brings us to the most crucial part of our discussion, a truth from Romans 2:4: “Do not underestimate God’s kindness. The wealth of His benevolence and His resolute refusal to let go of us is because He continues to hear the echo of His likeness in us.”
God’s kindness is not weakness. It is a powerful, resolute choice to never abandon us. Why? Because He sees Himself in us, in our hearts. In the same way, when we choose to be a "Clarence" and to keep our love on, we are allowing the echo of His likeness to be heard by a world in desperate need of hope. Our kindness is not just a personal choice; it is a divine reflection.

Our kindness is not just a personal choice; it is a divine reflection.
The metaphor of Cobra vs. Clarence is so vital for our current times. A Cobra persona is a self-protective identity, a response to hurt, fear, and feeling “stepped on.” It’s a spirit filled with brokenness and confusion that says, “don’t tread on me.” This is the spirit we so often see in our world today. In contrast, the name Clarence represents a spirit of tradition, peace, and unwavering character. This identity doesn't need to announce itself or project an outward image of power. It has the fortitude to stay grounded in love, even when the world is shaking. This is the true power we are called to embody.
My encounter with Clarence was a miracle of kindness. It reminds me of the feelings and attitudes our Vietnam veterans were met with—negative, hostile, and indifferent—a painful contrast to the "hero's welcome" our World War II vets received. This veteran, who likely suffered from social stigma and a lack of support, had every right to respond with a Cobra spirit. But by choosing to see him as Clarence, I was able to offer him food, pray for him, and witness a beautiful double rainbow as a sign of God's promise.

"The true password is not a secret. It's a person." Kristen Wambach
PASSWORD =pisode Highlights
|
- Praise Is a Password: Thanksgiving and praise are active “passwords” that don't change God's presence, but rather change our awareness of it.
- Listen for the Nudge: Living a Spirit-led life means taking steps in faith, even without a full roadmap or "proof," trusting in the inner nudges of the Holy Spirit.
A powerful message arrived in my inbox recently, a comment from a YouTube viewer that shook me to the core. "I asked one question to Jesus 30 years later, He never answered. God doesn't exist." The question, as he explained, was a request for a single, secret password—a word only he and God would know, to be revealed through a believer. A simple, undeniable sign to confirm the divine. Thirty years of silence, and a faith that was never given a chance to grow. It’s a testament to a deep-seated desire for proof, a longing that many of us can relate to. This pursuit, however, reveals more about our own hearts than it does about God. Does it stem from a desire to control the terms of our relationship with the divine, or from a truly broken heart searching for a lifeline?
It takes more faith to believe that God doesn't exist than it does to believe that He does." —Kristen Wambach
Episode Summary this thought-provoking episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, ordained pastor Kristen Wambach tackles a challenging listener comment from a viewer who, for 30 years, has been waiting for a secret password from God as proof of His existence. Kristen shares her powerful, Spirit-led response and dives into biblical insights, exploring the ancient story of "Shibboleth" and contrasting it with the true, revealed passwords of praise, thanksgiving, and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. This conversation is a compassionate guide for those wrestling with doubt, highlighting that God's presence is not a hidden secret to be tested, but a person to be known in an ongoing, authentic relationship.
|

|
| My immediate Spirit-led response was simple yet profound: the password is not a secret; it’s a person. The word that can open every door and heal every wound is Jesus. This isn't a new or hidden truth. He whispered it to me when I was eight years old, and it became the key that unlocked a new reality in my late twenties when I finally admitted I needed a savior to put me back together. The true password isn't a word hidden between you and God; it’s a person who has already been revealed. |  |
Faith is not about a test you pass, but about a relationship you enter."
This idea of a spiritual password isn't new. The Bible itself offers a fascinating example in Judges 12:5-6, where the Gileadites used the word "Shibboleth" as a linguistic test. Their enemies, the Ephraimites, couldn't pronounce the "sh" sound, revealing their identity and leading to their demise. This ancient story shows how simple words can be a matter of life and death, a key that identifies one group and separates them from another. But God doesn't operate this way. He’s not waiting to test us and condemn us; His desire is for connection and transformation.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." - Psalm 100:4
So, what are God's passwords? Psalms 104 and 89 provide a clue: "Enter into the password by saying thank you," and "blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise." These aren't hidden words but transformative actions. When we come to God with thanksgiving and praise, it changes our atmosphere, our frequency, and our awareness. His presence was always there, but our grateful hearts became the channel that allowed us to perceive it. This is a core lesson in connecting with God and applying biblical principles to our daily lives.
The ultimate password, as the New Testament makes clear, is the name of Jesus. John 14:6 declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” He is the password, the key, and the access point to a relationship with God. Philippians 2:10-11 reminds us that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow. This isn’t a secret or an obstacle; it's an invitation. The true password is not a hidden word for a select few, but a name revealed for all. It’s the way we find purpose through faith, experience healing and transformation, and engage in authentic spiritual discussions.

He's just as present in the clamor of the kitchen as in the quiet of the chapel." - Brother Lawrence
Ultimately, the quest for a secret password is rooted in logic and reason, which demand proof and a sign. But a life of faith is a walk of Spirit-led living, where we learn to step forward without a full roadmap, simply because we hear an inner nudge. The truth is, God's presence is in the happenstances of our lives—in the sunrise, in a friend's kindness, in the very air we breathe. It takes more faith to believe God doesn't exist than to believe He does, for His creation is a constant, screaming testament to His existence. The conversation with the YouTube listener has come to a halt for now, but my final question to him remains: "Where in the history of the secret word isn't Jesus?" He is the password to every joy and every obstacle, the answer to every question, and He’s been waiting to be known, not to be tested.

A Journey Rooted in Resilience
Gail’s story begins in Southeast Texas, or as she fondly calls it, "the right side of Texas." Growing up in simpler times, she reminisced about writing in Indian tablets with manila-colored pages and sharpening pencils in wall-mounted sharpeners—nostalgic markers of a world far removed from today’s tech-driven education. But beyond these anecdotes lies a life marked by pivotal challenges and transformative decisions.
As a Navy wife turned single mother of three, Gail faced the daunting reality of rebuilding her life post-divorce. Her defining moment? Deciding to pursue a master's degree at the University of Texas during the summers while raising her children. "One baby step at a time with blessings from above," she recalled. The courage to take that first step—sitting for the GRE, arranging childcare, securing housing—set the foundation for a future filled with purpose and confidence.

❤️ The Power of Asking for Help
Gail’s wisdom shines through her emphasis on the importance of community support. She candidly shared moments when reaching out for help transformed her struggles. Whether it was a church community stepping in to move her belongings or friends rallying to assist with home maintenance, Gail’s experiences underscore a vital lesson: "It’s okay to ask for help."
For many single mothers, pride or fear of judgment can become barriers. Gail urges them to break free from these constraints, reminding us that vulnerability often invites unexpected blessings. "You don’t need to be in a pity party or play the victim, but you do need help," she advises.
✅ Autopsying Past Relationships
One of the most profound takeaways from Gail’s conversation was her advice on healing from relationship struggles. She advocates for what she calls a "complete autopsy" of past relationships—not to dwell in regret but to understand, grow, and set healthier boundaries moving forward.
"Don’t jump into a new relationship just because you’re lonely," she warns. Instead, Gail encourages self-reflection, counseling, and spiritual guidance. She differentiates between counseling and spiritual direction, the former focusing on practical guidance, while the latter helps discern what God is doing in one’s life.

Welcome to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, a space for authentic spiritual discussions, Christian personal development, and tangibly hearing God's voice. I’m your host, ordained pastor Kristen Wambach, and today we are exploring a profound question: what would happen if you found a quiet place to encounter the fiery presence of God? What would you expect to happen? It's a question that challenges our logic and ego, but promises a deeper, more intimate connection with the divine. In this episode, we'll unwrap a practical framework called BLISS—a five-step acronym to guide us into tangible Conversations with Jesus. This is a crucial lesson in practical spirituality, showing us that our faith journey podcast can lead to a daily spiritual wisdom that transforms our lives. Are you ready to live a spiritually brave life? Let’s dive in.
| What the Listener Receives
|  |
Every encounter with God is personal. It is painted to speak a language that you are familiar with and meant to draw you closer to your true identity in him." —Kristen Wambach
Episode Summary this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, Kristen Wambach presents a practical framework called B.L.I.S.S to help listeners encounter a tangible and holy God. The acronym, which stands for Blend in, Love, In God, Small steps, and Secluded portions, provides a step-by-step guide for intentional connection with the divine. Kristen shares a personal story of a dream and a waking encounter with the "fiery love" of God, leading to the powerful revelation that Jesus fills all things. The episode encourages listeners to live a spiritually brave life by taking small, consistent steps to build intimacy and perceive God's presence in their daily lives.
Encountering the Consuming Fire: A Practical Framework for Spiritual BlissHave you ever wondered how to move beyond an intellectual understanding of God to a genuine, tangible encounter? Our minds often get in the way, telling us that a mystical Christian podcast experience isn't for us. But today, we're challenging that narrative with a powerful framework to help you connect with God in a way that feels real and personal. The foundation of this episode is the acronym BLISS, a guide for creating sacred moments that lead to transformational spiritual growth.
 The first step, the B, is to Blend in. This isn’t about losing your identity, but intentionally merging with the presence of God and others. It’s a call to seek understanding with empathy and compassion, a core tenet of Spirit-led living. It’s about letting the fiery love of God compel you to see yourself, others, and God differently. This intentional connection is the bedrock of our faith journey podcast and a pathway to applying biblical principles in our daily lives. The L stands for Love. The very essence of God is love, and it’s the bedrock of genuine connection. It's the assurance written in our very DNA, confirming that we are deeply and irrevocably loved. This love fuels our capacity for empathy and shores up our faith on the days we don't feel it. It’s this love that brings healing and transformation, making it a central theme of our podcast about talking to Jesus. The I is for In God. To be "in God" is to be rooted in Him—our strength, wisdom, and very being. Just as a tree’s roots extend three times its height, our relationship with God reaches far beyond what we can perceive. Stepping into Jesus Christ as the door is how we access this deeper intimacy. This is where we learn to let His truth, grace, and mercy lead us into more of Himself. Our spirits have movement and being in Him, allowing us to be continually filled and led. | B.L.I.S.SDeuteronomy 4:24 (KJV)1 "For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God." Deuteronomy 9:3 (KJV)3 "Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them, as the LORD hath said unto thee." Hebrews 12:29 (KJV) "For our God is a consuming fire." Exodus 24:17 (KJV) "And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel." Isaiah 33:14 (KJV) "The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?" 1 Kings 18:38 (KJV) "Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench." 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 (KJV) "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:" 1 Corinthians 3:13 (KJV) "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." |
God's fiery love is not meant to intimidate us, but to ignite a fire within us." —Kristen Wambach

Next, the first S is for Small steps. Transformation isn't an overnight event; it's a series of consistent, incremental steps fueled by faith. It’s a process of spiritual awakening where we learn to turn on the light and, eventually, to simply be the light. Kristen Wambach podcast messages always emphasize this, encouraging you to build a personal library of experience with God. A simple but profound practice is to stand before a door in your home, check your spirit, and then step through, teaching your senses to perceive the tangible difference of His presence. This small step builds your spiritual muscles and prepares you for profound spiritual breakthroughs.
Finally, the last S is for Secluded portions. This is about intentionally creating a dedicated space and time for Conversations with Jesus. Whether it's a quiet room or a park bench, it's a sacred moment to be still, reflect on His living word, and listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit. This is where the intimacy of God's fiery love is truly experienced, leading to the profound realization that God fills all things. This is the essence of a mystical Christian podcast—it’s not about magic, but about intentional, biblically sound teaching that leads to authentic encounters.

I can guarantee it that you will begin to perceive that there is something that is different between stepping from this room to that room. It's a great way to learn." —Kristen Wambach
The Characteristics of Mystical Bliss
- Transcendence of Self: The core of mystical bliss is the dissolution of the ego. The sense of a separate "I" fades away, and the individual feels as though they have merged or become one with the divine. This isn't a loss of identity but a release from the limitations of the self.
- Sense of Unity: In this state, a person experiences a deep, intuitive understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. The perceived separation between oneself, others, and the universe collapses, replaced by a feeling of profound harmony and oneness.
- Timelessness: The experience often occurs outside of linear time. The past and future lose their meaning, and the individual exists entirely in an eternal, sacred present.
- Ineffable and Paradoxical: Mystics from all traditions describe this state as being beyond words. It's a paradox—a feeling of absolute stillness and peace that is also a dynamic, all-consuming experience.
Thomas Merton (Trappist Monk and Author): "The true secret of Christian spiritual growth is not a technique but an encounter, a relationship of personal, self-forgetful love with Christ in a contemplative spirit."
History and Literature
Mystics from various traditions have left behind powerful writings and testimonies of a state of profound bliss, often experienced as a total union with the divine. This is a central theme in their spiritual journeys, a destination beyond intellectual belief and simple devotion.
Christian Mystics and Their Testimonies
In the Christian mystical tradition, bliss is not merely a feeling but the result of a soul’s complete surrender to God.
Christian Mystics and Their Testimonies
In the Christian mystical tradition, bliss is not merely a feeling but the result of a soul’s complete surrender to God.
- St. Teresa of Ávila: The 16th-century Carmelite nun wrote extensively about the stages of the spiritual life, culminating in what she called the "spiritual marriage." She described this state as a blissful union in which the soul is fully united with God. In her work, The Interior Castle, she writes about the final mansion: "It is as though the soul, in this last and highest state, becomes so completely absorbed in God that it does not even recognize itself. It seems as if its own being, its consciousness, and its very will are all melted into the Being of God."
- St. John of the Cross: A contemporary of St. Teresa, he focused on the difficult journey to divine union, famously known as "the dark night of the soul." The bliss he describes is the fruit of this painful purification. His poetry speaks of a secret ascent to God, where the soul finds its "beloved" and all suffering is transformed into ecstasy. His poem "The Dark Night" is a journey to this union, culminating in a state of tranquil, blissful love.
- Meister Eckhart, the medieval German theologian and mystic, described a state of union in which the soul returns to its divine origin. He taught that there is a "spark of the soul" which is uncreated and can experience a state of oneness with God. He wrote, "The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same." This oneness is the source of all spiritual bliss.
Jesus Filling All Things
The key scriptures are:
- Ephesians 1:22-23: "And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way."
- Ephesians 4:10: "He who descended is the very same one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe." These verses describe Jesus's ultimate authority and presence. The meaning of "fills all things" is often interpreted in two main ways, which are not mutually exclusive:
- Filling all creation: This refers to Jesus's cosmic authority. Having descended to earth and then ascended to the highest heavens, he is now in a position to exert his complete and sovereign rule over the entire universe.
- Filling the church: This refers to Jesus's relationship with his body, the church. He is the "fullness" that completes and equips the church, providing it with everything it needs to carry out its mission. This filling is often understood as the presence of the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers and unites them with Christ.
| In the end, this message of practical spirituality reminds us that encountering a tangible God is not just for a select few. It’s for everyone who is willing to be spiritually brave and take small, intentional steps. By practicing the BLISS framework, we can actively participate in bridging heaven and earth, allowing God’s consuming fire to ignite a passion for Him and a commitment to becoming who He created us to be. |  |

The Ministry of Gratitude: Seeing with Our Hearts in a World of Fear
Welcome back to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, where we have Conversations with Jesus and explore what it truly means to live a life of Spirit-led living. In this week’s powerful episode, we had the honor of speaking with Laura Bratton, an acclaimed author on spirituality, founder of Ooby Global, and a living testament to harnessing courage. Laura's faith journey began at the tender age of nine with a life-altering diagnosis: she would one day be blind. Over the next decade, she navigated a traumatic and profound transition, one that challenged every conventional notion of Christian spiritual growth and brought her into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the divine.
This conversation was a profound lesson in what I call the "Ministry of Gratitude." Laura taught us that gratitude isn’t a naive or forced cheerfulness in the face of suffering. Instead, it’s a deliberate, tangible practice of being grateful for what helps us navigate our difficulties. As she wisely pointed out, she doesn't wake up and say, "God, I'm so grateful for my blindness." Instead, she gives thanks for the "gift of a guide dog" that helps her move safely through the world, or for the quiet strength of her parents who taught her to take life "day by day by day, moment by moment by moment." This kind of practical spirituality re-frames our perspective, shifting our focus from the overwhelming obstacle to the countless, often-overlooked blessings that support us. It's a key part of understanding the Holy Spirit and seeing His provision in the mundane.

 | CONNECT with Laura BrattonWhen we're in trauma, even when we don't believe it, [know] that we are worthy, that we still have purpose in this world." —Laura Bratton |
Laura’s experience challenges us to consider our own senses. For those of us who rely on physical sight, it’s easy to miss the deeper ways God communicates with us. Laura’s story is a remarkable example of spiritual awakening, as she learned to rely on her intuition and the energy of people around her. When she couldn't see, she became more attuned to sounds, touches, and a profound inner knowing—the Divine wisdom that we all possess but rarely cultivate. This reminds me of the passage in Luke where Jesus asks, "Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?" The truth is, our actions of faith are the bridge between what we profess to believe and how we actually live. Laura’s life is a perfect example of this. She didn't just profess her faith; she acted on it, trusting in the "next right action" even when she couldn't see the path ahead.
The episode also brought to light a crucial aspect of Christian personal development: the practice of self-compassion. In moments when our friends or family don't understand our pain, or when our support system seems to fail, Laura encourages us to turn inward. She suggests asking ourselves, "What would I say to my best friend if they were going through this?" and then offering that same kindness and grace to ourselves. This isn't selfish; it's a profound act of self-love that stems from the unconditional love of Christ. When we trust that God’s love is enough to sustain us, we can extend that love to ourselves, empowering us to live out our purpose regardless of our circumstances. This is truly an act of spiritually brave living.

Ultimately, Laura’s message is one of profound healing and transformation. It is a testament to the fact that we are beloved creations and that our purpose and worth are not tied to our abilities or circumstances. Through a simple yet profound ministry of gratitude, she shows us how to navigate the very real struggles of life, demonstrating that our biggest challenges can become our greatest teachers. Her insights are a powerful source of daily spiritual wisdom, reminding us that God is always working to fill our "coffee cup," pouring His love into us day after day. As a community, let us take these lessons to heart, practicing gratitude, embracing self-compassion, and living a life that truly honors the principles we profess.

John 14:12 (NIV):
"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
Acts 1:8 is a key verse: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." This promise of power was fulfilled at Pentecost and is meant for all believers.
2 Timothy 1:7 states, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
Ephesians 3:20 speaks of God's ability to do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." This scripture highlights the incredible potential available to believers through the Holy Spirit's power.

God never wants us to respond with a negative behavior to a negative behavior. He wants us to respond from the fullness of love, from being outfitted with those really quality waders."
Grace will lead the way...EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Invest in your spiritual outfitting: Don't use "cheap" spiritual tools to navigate relational issues. Actively seek God's wisdom, comfort, and armor to handle life's challenges with integrity.
- Trust God for justice: Follow King David's example by crying out to God for justice in difficult situations, rather than taking matters into your own hands. Withhold your emotions, hands, and words, and trust God to bring forth His perfect resolve.
- Choose love over retaliation: When immersed in "murky waters," resist the temptation to respond with negative behavior. Instead, stand firm in the fullness of God's love.
- Embrace growth opportunities: View difficult patches and seasons as a chance for personal growth and maturity that will equip you to walk in the purpose God has for you.

Whenever you have a dream, you always want to remember the feeling... What was it? Was it good, bad, indifferent, loving, encouraging? You need to remember what it made you feel like and you bring that feeling to God when you're having your morning devotion with Him." —Kristen Wambach
Hello family, and welcome. Kristen Wambach here, ordained pastor and spiritual coach. It’s a classic Pacific Northwest summer here in Oregon, which means we’re walking through a heat wave—something we Oregonians don’t take to naturally! Wherever you are, I hope you’re finding moments of rest and enjoyment in this season.
Today, I want to talk about something many of us face: relational issues and difficult situations. These are the moments when we don’t always know how to talk to God, or when we feel helpless as circumstances unfold around us. While we may not be responsible for the environment that’s left behind, we are always responsible for how we feel and how we navigate our conversations with God about it.
I recently had a powerful dream that spoke directly to this.
Now, let’s talk a little about dream language. The Holy Spirit often ministers to us in our dreams, comforting our hearts and working in deep places that we might not give ourselves time to deal with when we’re awake.
In my dream, I was in an odd lot store—a place that sells corporate buyouts, not always the highest quality goods. I was looking for fishing waders because, as a part of a fun family adventure, I’m going salmon fishing with my son. I’m not an avid fisherman, so part of me didn't want to spend a lot of money. My son was there, saying, "No, Mom, that's not it. That's not it." None of the waders were good enough.

In my dream, I was in an odd lot store—a place that sells corporate buyouts, not always the highest quality goods. I was looking for fishing waders because, as a part of a fun family adventure, I’m going salmon fishing with my son. I’m not an avid fisherman, so part of me didn't want to spend a lot of money. My son was there, saying, "No, Mom, that's not it. That's not it." None of the waders were good enough.
Highlights
- The Metaphor of Spiritual Waders: Using a dream about fishing waders to illustrate the need to invest in our spiritual "outfitting" to navigate the difficult, or "murky," waters of life and relationships.
- Dream Language as Divine Communication: Explaining how dreams are an avenue for the Holy Spirit to speak to us, comfort us, and provide wisdom, especially when our conscious mind is at rest.
- Biblical Principles from King David: Drawing on the life of King David to demonstrate how to handle relational conflicts with integrity, trust, and a reliance on God's justice.
- Responding with Love, Not Retaliation: Highlighting the core Christian principle of not responding to negative behavior with negative behavior, but instead, choosing to operate from a place of love and spiritual strength.
- Finding Growth in Difficult Seasons: Framing difficult seasons and relational challenges not as roadblocks, but as opportunities for spiritual maturity and growth that prepare us for the dreams and desires God has placed in our hearts.
In this episode, Kristen Wambach, an ordained pastor and spiritual coach, shares a powerful life application from a recent dream. Using the metaphor of fishing waders, she illustrates the importance of being "properly outfitted" with spiritual tools to navigate the "murky waters" of relational issues and life's difficulties. She encourages listeners to honor their dreams as a form of divine communication and to bring their authentic feelings to God. Drawing on the biblical examples of King David's life, she provides practical insights on how to handle conflict with integrity, trust God for justice, and avoid retaliation. The episode concludes by emphasizing that difficult seasons are growth opportunities, preparing us to walk in the dreams and desires God has placed in our hearts.
God brought it to my attention that I needed to spend, invest in those waders because they helped me to navigate the issues of life. If you were to say the river, the seas or the water, were the issues of life, then this is a very important piece of outfitting that I need to have to walk in God's purposes and his heart." —Kristen Wambach
When I woke up, I knew the feeling of the dream was important. It was a sense that I wasn’t placing enough value on the waders that would help me “wade” through the waters of life. This was a profound, mystical Christian message for me. God was using the timeline of my season—the fishing trip—to speak to the unseen parts of my life. He was highlighting the relational difficulties I was walking through and encouraging me to invest in the spiritual equipment I needed to navigate them. He wanted me to place more value on the spiritual waders that would keep me protected and confident while standing in life’s difficult currents.
This is a powerful lesson in practical spirituality. Just as a fisherman needs quality waders to stay dry and safe in the river, we need quality spiritual tools to navigate our relationships. The faith journey podcast I host, Interviewing Jesus Podcast, is all about this kind of Christian spiritual growth. It’s a journey of understanding the Holy Spirit and having conversations with Jesus to find the divine wisdom to face our problems.
The Lord, in His faithfulness, didn't stop with the dream. Later that day, an Instagram post by Bill Johnson came across my feed, talking about King David. God’s heroes in the Bible are there to encourage and spiritually motivate us, and David’s story is a masterclass in dealing with relational issues.

Think about David and King Saul. Saul was meant to be his mentor, but jealousy turned him into a threat. David had every chance to harm Saul, but his core value of trusting God and not touching His anointed kept him from retaliating. This is a brilliant example of a Christian personal development lesson. He withheld his emotions, his feelings, and his hands, trusting that God would bring justice.
Then there was David as a suffering father with his rebellious son, Absalom. The pain of a family conflict is a unique agony. In this, David shows us the long-suffering heart of a parent and the need to keep our hearts constantly open to the Holy Spirit’s comfort. This is part of the healing and transformation podcast journey we explore here—not shying away from the pain, but walking through it with integrity.
Finally, in Psalm 3, David cries out to God for justice. This should be a model for our own prayer life. We cry out to God on behalf of our friends, our family, and even those who are hurting us. We don’t ask for revenge, but for the justice that God desires to bring forth—a justice that is rooted in love and produces growth and resolve. This is what it means to be spiritually brave.

- David and Saul: 1 Samuel chapters 16-31, particularly 1 Samuel 18 (Saul's jealousy begins) and 1 Samuel 24 & 26 (David spares Saul's life).
- Absalom's Rebellion: 2 Samuel chapters 13-18, particularly 2 Samuel 15 (Absalom's coup) and 2 Samuel 18 (Absalom's death).
- Psalm 3: The entire psalm was written by David during his flight from Absalom.
3But in the depths of my heart I truly know
that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield;
You take me and surround me with yourself.
Your glory covers me continually.
You lift high my head.
I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence.
You send me a Father’s help.
Pause in his presence
The Song of Safety
So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby--
Then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory.
Even though ten thousand dark powers prowl around me,
I won’t be afraid.
The Secret of Strength
Rise up and help me, Yahweh! Come and save me, God!
For you will slap them in the face,
breaking the power of their words to harm me.
For the Lord alone is my Savior.
What a feast of favor and bliss he gives his people!
Pause in his presence

So let me ask you this: What murky waters are you standing in right now? Is it a betrayal, a family conflict, or gossip that makes you want to pull back and isolate yourself? God is calling us to pull up those spiritual waders, invest in them, and stand firmly. The purpose is not to get out of the murky water, but to allow Him to move on our behalf. Just like a good fisherman doesn't leave the water, we stand in it and allow God to bring forth the best results.
What would happen if we bought cheap waders for the murky waters of life? They would tear, leaving us exposed, and we might respond to negative behavior with negative behavior. We must choose to be outfitted with those high-quality waders—the love, wisdom, and strength from God that allows us to stand in the pain and respond with love, not retaliation. This is the heart of what the What Would Jesus Do podcast lesson's in our daily lives.
My prayer for you is that you trust God to bring forth justice on behalf of all parties concerned. Trust Him to bring forth love that produces growth and the dreams and desires of all. I love you so much. Thank you for letting me process these simple yet profound applications of our faith. If this episode would bless someone you know who is struggling with relational issues, please share it with them.

Welcome to the recap of the latest inspiring episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast with your host, Kristen Wambach. In this deeply insightful installment, Kristen dives into the heart of our relationship with the Divine, tackling the fundamental question: How do we truly talk to God, and how does He speak to us? For listeners seeking a Christian podcast that fosters spiritual awakening and enhances their ability to experience hearing God's voice, this episode is a treasure trove of biblical insights and divine wisdom.
Kristen opens by acknowledging the common struggles many face in their prayer life. What does God want to hear? How can we better understand His responses? Drawing from her experience as an ordained pastor, Kristen Wambach, an experienced spiritual coach, and an acclaimed author on spirituality, Kristen lays a solid scriptural foundation for understanding prayer as an authentic conversation.

Building Confidence in Prayer:
One of the foundational scriptures Kristen highlights is Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the confidence of things we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see." She emphasizes the importance of journaling as a practice to honor our conversations with God, building "hope blocks" through recognizing how He speaks to us. This consistent practice fosters the assurance needed to believe even when we don't see immediate answers.
Kristen then delves into Mark 9:23, where Jesus says, "Everything is possible for the one who believes." She encourages listeners to expand their beliefs when talking to God, especially during challenging times like relational problems or health struggles. The Holy Spirit, she reminds us, offers a tangible touch of God's love, increasing our faith and reassuring us that we are heard.

When we write down what we hear, what we sense, what we feel, it builds an assurance in us that builds up what we can't see with our naked eye. Amen." —Kristen Wambach
Approaching God with Confidence:
Drawing from 1 John 5:14-15, Kristen underscores the confidence we have in approaching God through Jesus' sacrifice. This access is a gift, and when we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. Kristen encourages listeners to actively seek God's will in specific areas, fostering a deeper understanding of His heart for them. Knowing God's will bolsters our confidence that our prayers are aligned with His desires.
Hebrews 4:16 invites us to "approach God's throne of grace with confidence." Kristen beautifully visualizes this, encouraging us to imagine ourselves nestled between the Father and Jesus, our ear attuned to the Father's heart. This imagery provides a sense of safety and encourages a confident approach to prayer, knowing we will receive mercy and grace in our time of need.

Prayer is a conversation just like you and I have would have if we were having a cup of coffee... it is a conversation and it's important to be yourself." —Kristen Wambach
Prayer as a Genuine Conversation:
Kristen beautifully equates prayer to a simple conversation, like sharing a cup of coffee with a friend or a morning chat with a spouse. Authenticity is key. Sharing our true feelings – joy, gratitude, struggle, or disconnection – opens our hearts to the comforting ministry of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us to present our requests to God with thanksgiving, laying them bare with honesty.
Jeremiah 29:12 reassures us: "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Kristen emphasizes that our part is to call on Him, to open our hearts, even when words fail us. Prayer can be a feeling, a picture, or speaking in tongues, a spiritual frequency that God responds to. Feeling heard is crucial, and unlike distracted human interactions, God is always attentive.

Kristen revisits the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11), suggesting that the T-A-L-K framework provides a deeper understanding of its opening: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name." Our lives, transformed by Christ, are offered to God as a living sacrifice, making His name hallowed.

Have you ever felt that nagging whisper of self-doubt, the inner critic trying to derail your progress or dim your light? In this deeply authentic episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, ordained pastor Kristen Wambach transparently shares her own recent struggle with these very feelings, offering profound biblical insights and practical steps to move from self-criticism to Spirit-led living.

We want to remember the flow of who He is in our life and what He's taught us and shown us and how He's loved on us." —Kristen Wambach
Kristen begins by revealing her own journey of discernment, often planning episodes only to feel an internal resistance. This internal "tweak" led her to confront the root of her struggle: self-doubt, even when outwardly, everything seemed to be going well. It's a relatable scenario, showcasing that the battle against the inner critic isn't always tied to obvious mistakes or failures, but can emerge even in seasons of positive transition and growth.
Jesus reminds us of who we are. We are that wine that is served to the Father." —Kristen Wambach

Through a series of divinely inspired "highlights" from her morning in the garden, Kristen unpacks powerful metaphors for overcoming self-doubt:
- The Old Watering Wand: This seemingly mundane incident reminds us not to forget the way Jesus has originally flowed through our lives. He is our friend, brother, Rabbi, and confidant, always there to understand and walk with us. Our pursuit of higher consciousness should never overshadow the intimate, personal relationship we have with Jesus.
- The Pruned Japanese Maple: A shriveled tree that unexpectedly sprouts new growth after pruning becomes a beautiful symbol. Kristen emphasizes that healthy pruning brings forth new life and fruit, illustrating that sometimes, letting go of what's dead or not serving us can lead to incredible new beginnings and breakthroughs in our faith journey.

And that being SAID: separating the noise to find freedom. |
The episode culminates with a beautiful reflection on the Wedding at Cana (John 2), Jesus' first miracle. Kristen draws a profound parallel: just as Jesus transformed water into wine, He can transform our ordinary days and what's within our "jars of stone," filling them to the brim and pouring us out as a vintage served to Father God. This is the ultimate empowering faith message – that through Christ, we are precious, transformed, and presented to the Father as His beloved.
Kristen offers actionable steps to address self-doubt, encouraging listeners to acknowledge and observe their feelings, challenge their inner critics, focus on small wins, practice self-compassion, limit comparisons, and seek support from the Lord. This episode truly embodies practical spirituality, offering daily spiritual wisdom for anyone on a Christian personal development path. It's a powerful reminder that there is no condemnation in Christ, and we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

"This is why we seek personal growth—to be free from the pain we cause ourselves, to make better choices, to feel better about who we are becoming, to act more confidently in social situations, and to unleash our full creativity and contributions into the world in order to make our highest difference. Gaining Personal Freedom in this sense is letting go of any self-doubt and self-loathing and allowing ourselves permission to be our unique, powerful, authentic selves." - Brendon Burchard

A Life Transformed by Faith
Gina's own story is a testament to the transformative power of faith. Her journey, steeped in Italian and Greek traditions, took an extraordinary turn after the passing of her mother. Twelve years in a convent followed, leading her to her current calling as an end-of-life doula on the Jersey Shore. It's a role where she applies deep empathy to support individuals and their families as they navigate the challenging time of transition.
Kristen Wambach, known for her biblically sound teaching and insights into hearing God's voice, acknowledges the sensitive nature of discussing death. Yet, both women agree on the vital importance of bringing light and teaching to this powerful area. They believe that with Jesus' gift exchange of His life, we are given life, overcoming sin and death, and that understanding this brings profound peace.
Gina's own story is a testament to the transformative power of faith. Her journey, steeped in Italian and Greek traditions, took an extraordinary turn after the passing of her mother. Twelve years in a convent followed, leading her to her current calling as an end-of-life doula on the Jersey Shore. It's a role where she applies deep empathy to support individuals and their families as they navigate the challenging time of transition.
Kristen Wambach, known for her biblically sound teaching and insights into hearing God's voice, acknowledges the sensitive nature of discussing death. Yet, both women agree on the vital importance of bringing light and teaching to this powerful area. They believe that with Jesus' gift exchange of His life, we are given life, overcoming sin and death, and that understanding this brings profound peace.
What Exactly is an End-of-Life Doula?
For those unfamiliar with the term, Gina explains that an end-of-life doula is a non-medical helping hand. Just as a birth doula supports a woman giving birth, an end-of-life doula is present to the dying, assisting them and their families in transitioning from this life to the next.

Gina emphasizes that her work is about meeting people where they are, offering a peaceful presence, and understanding that each journey is unique. It's about recognizing the fear people often have of death and helping them navigate it with grace.

Beyond the Veil: Witnessing the Unseen
One of the most profound aspects of the conversation revolves around witnessing beyond the veil. Kristen, a seer and ordained pastor, shares her conviction that individuals who pass often attend their own wakes, ministering to their loved ones. She cites Hebrews 4:12 to underscore the power of God's word to divide soul and spirit, hinting at the ability of our spirits to separate from our bodies even before death.
Gina wholeheartedly agrees, stating:

"For me, heaven is a veil away. Every morning in my prayer time, I place myself at that veil. Many people I know that have passed comes to my heart and soul. When I am with a client who is passing, I always whisper to them to give a big hug to Jesus for me and then I list others. When I'm with them, I do feel heaven opening." – Gina Economopoulos

This shared understanding of the spiritual reality surrounding death offers immense comfort and a fresh perspective on what many perceive as an ending.
Comforting Presence and Spiritual BattleGina recounts a poignant story of a gentleman she supported:

"I shared who I was, I shared about my service, and he shared to me about his journey, having faith, no faith, and then having faith and believing in... When I left there, he said, 'Okay, we'll contact you and I'd like to have you come back again.' Well, I didn't hear from them until two days later and the girlfriend texts me and says, 'Oh, Gina, Michael passed away yesterday. Very peaceful and I know your visit meant so much to him.' And that's all I needed." – Gina Economopoulos
|
This illustrates the quiet power of presence and the often unseen work of an end-of-life doula in providing peace and comfort during a critical time.
The conversation also touches on the spiritual battle that can occur at the time of passing. Gina, recalling her time as a sister and being called "sister death" due to her frequent presence at bedsides, shares her experience:
"I've been at bedside where I do feel the presence of the evil one that is fighting for that soul. And so it's like, okay, more prayers, whatever, holy water, trust, whatever, read the scripture, spit it out, hold their hands, you know? And I have been like places where I've sensed the evil gathering there. No, no, no, no, you're not getting this off.
No, no way." – Gina Economopoulos
This powerful insight highlights the importance of spiritual awareness and intercession during the transition.

Does what distracts you and I? Does that distract Jesus? Isn't that beautiful? No." —Kristen Wambach
Summary: In this essential episode, Kristen Wambach provides a compassionate and spiritually grounded approach to overcoming overwhelm. Drawing on her personal struggles and the timeless story of Mary and Martha, she guides listeners to recognize the distractions that steal their peace and reminds them of the one thing needed: a beautiful, unhurried conversation with Jesus. By prioritizing this divine connection and surrendering our anxieties, we can find clarity, peace, and the strength to live a braver, more spiritually aligned life.
Episode Highlights
- A Prayer for Peace: Kristen opens with a powerful prayer, inviting listeners to trade overwhelm for peace, affirmation, and safety, acknowledging that God is actively working for our highest good.
- Kristen's Personal Story: Kristen transparently shares her recent experience of a supremely busy week, including her birthday celebrations and caring for her 92-year-old mother, which left her feeling overwhelmed and unable to meet her usual commitments, including her podcast episode. This relatable anecdote sets the stage for a discussion on balancing busy and finding clarity.
- Defining Overwhelm: The episode explores the true meaning of overwhelm – feeling overcome with emotion, struggling to think rationally, and experiencing an all-consuming sense of difficulty. Kristen also touches on its physical, emotional, and behavioral manifestations, from fatigue and irritability to poor concentration.
- Causes of Overwhelm: Kristen identifies common causes such as too many responsibilities, unrealistic expectations, life changes, information overload (especially from social media and excessive screen time), and lack of self-care.
- The Martha Syndrome: A key focus of the episode is the "Martha Syndrome," drawing parallels to the biblical story of Mary and Martha. Kristen highlights how Martha's distraction by many things contrasts with Mary's choice to sit at Jesus' feet.
- Prioritizing the Main Thing: Jesus's wisdom to Martha—that "one thing is needed"—becomes the core teaching. Kristen emphasizes discerning what is truly essential and what Jesus calls us to do, inviting listeners to pause and consider "What's the one thing?"
- Mary's "Permanent Portion": Delving into Luke 10:40-43 (Mirror Bible), Kristen unpacks Mary's "permanent portion in a beautiful conversation" with Jesus. She encourages listeners to envision themselves sitting at Jesus's feet, perceiving His expression, and understanding the significance of surrender and submission.
- What Distracts You? Does It Distract Jesus?: Kristen poses a thought-provoking question: "Does what distracts you... distract Jesus?" The powerful answer is "No," underscoring that our distractions do not hinder His love, listening, or leadership into truth.
- His Part of the Conversation: Kristen beautifully articulates Jesus's role in our overwhelmed moments: to listen, to hear our hearts, and simply to love and lead us into the truth of that love.
- A Call to Surrender: Listeners are gently called to surrender attitudes, personal expectations, and even well-organized selves when things don't go as planned, and to take moments with Him.
- The Assignment: Kristen gives a powerful "assignment": take 10 minutes a day to sit at Jesus' feet, just like Mary, to engage in your "permanent portion in a beautiful conversation."
- A Special Gift: To help with this assignment, Kristen offers a beautiful ocean-themed phone wallpaper using the acronym FORGIVE (Face the pain, Own your feelings, Grant compassion, Invite healing, Value peace, Embrace the future) as a tangible reminder.

Here are some key characteristics commonly associated with introverts:
- Recharging through solitude: Introverts gain energy and feel refreshed by spending time alone or in quiet environments. In contrast, extensive social interaction can be draining for them.
- Preference for small groups and deep conversations: While introverts don't necessarily dislike people, they often prefer one-on-one interactions or small, intimate gatherings over large crowds or parties. They tend to gravitate towards meaningful conversations rather than small talk.
- Introspective and reflective: Introverts are often self-aware and spend a lot of time processing their thoughts and feelings internally. They may think before they speak and are often good listeners.
- Not the same as shyness: It's a common misconception that introverts are shy. While some introverts may be shy, the two are distinct. Shyness involves feeling uncomfortable or anxious in social situations, while introversion is a preference for lower levels of social stimulation for energy regulation.
- Observant and analytical: Introverts tend to be good observers of their surroundings and the people within them. They may notice details others miss and prefer to understand a situation before actively participating.

My Communion: A Quest for Healing, I was at my son and daughter-in-law's house, taking care of my granddaughter – a joyful task that fills my week and demands good time organization! It was there, in a quiet moment of communion, that I asked the Lord to teach me how to heal myself. I wanted to understand His promise of health and wholeness for us.
You see, I believe with every fiber of my being that what Jesus accomplished on the cross – His death and resurrection – nailed sin, sickness, death, and decay. Disease, pain, and suffering are all rooted in sin, and Jesus utterly overcame them, washing them away. We are meant to walk in wholeness, and death and decay have no portion in our lives. If you have questions about this, ask Jesus, and He will lead you into all truth!
During my communion, I was pondering our ability to "prompt" or "move" matter, light, and sound. Some might call it "energy healing," and while light is energy that can create mass, I'm talking about the very power of God. Imagine an injury – God's powerful, fiery, loving energy can literally change the molecular makeup of a wound, restoring it or creating something brand new. Our bodies are designed to heal naturally, but when healing doesn't occur, I have to ask: Why not?

The Butter Churn Revelation
So, I was asking Jesus to teach me how to trigger this ability to move matter, light, and power within my own body. We are seated in heavenly places with Him, at the Father's right hand. He's in me, I'm in Him – in this position of authority, we have the ability to move light, matter, sound, and energy, just like God. I want to know this stuff, because the more I understand, the more I can surrender to His truth and share it with others.
I felt the tangible presence of the Lord. You know that wonderful touch, that undeniable presence that can fill a room and your very being? It’s a communication from His Spirit, through our soul, into our body, making His divine presence palpable.
My specific prayer point that day was a persistent, strong pain in my left ankle, just above my Achilles heel, accompanied by swelling. I hadn't injured it, and it had been there for about a month. As I sat in His presence, feeling the pain and His tangible touch, I waited for Him to teach me. I wanted to understand the process of triggering healing, to change the molecular DNA of my ankle.
And then, I saw it.
In my mind's eye, I saw Jesus in the room, churning butter. It was an old-fashioned, stand-up butter churn, like from "Little House on the Prairie." He churned the paddle up and down, and then He rolled the handle in His hands, causing the paddles inside to swirl around, both backward and forward. I kept feeling His presence, listening, and tuning into what was happening in my ankle, trying to understand this seemingly unrelated vision.

Weaving the Metaphors: Butter, Bone Marrow, and the Fig Tree
This is where it gets fascinating. I even "Googled" it – "How do you weave the metaphors of Jesus churning butter with receiving healing?" Yes, Jesus can use your AI!
This revelation also connected to the scripture I had read that morning: the passage about the unfruitful fig tree from Matthew 21, which Jesus cursed for its lack of fruit, causing it to wither. How could these seemingly disparate elements – my ankle pain, Jesus churning butter, and the fig tree – be connected? But He was telling me they were.
Imagine the pain in my ankle as the cream in the churn – complex, undifferentiated, a mixture of damaged cells, swelling, and even emotional responses like fear, frustration, and despair. Just like the fat globules and water are inseparable in the cream, so too are the physical and emotional aspects of pain. The cream isn’t yet butter; the pain isn’t yet healed.
The churning, then, represents the active, often arduous process of physical healing. It’s not passive; it involves intentional effort. Jesus’s rhythmic churning, both up-and-down and swirling, symbolizes the therapies, rest, nutrition, and self-care that agitate the injured area, breaking down scar tissue, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. These interventions disrupt the static, painful state, just as churning damages the fat globule membranes.
And what about bone marrow? When we take communion, we consume His body and blood, His very DNA. I want that DNA to infiltrate the marrow of my bones, producing healthy cells in His image. The churning directly informs and guides the bone marrow, signaling to the body’s repair crew that help is needed. It’s like my ankle sending an S.O.S., and Jesus, through the churning, is sending forth aid – healing factors, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory molecules.
As the churning continues, the pain begins to coalesce into a more manageable form, much like the butter grains forming. The buttermilk separates, representing the release of unnecessary byproducts of pain – excess inflammation, rigid guarding, even learned helplessness, fear-based tightening, and poor circulation. Just as the Jersey cow cream needed to be at room temperature for the molecular change, our bodies need to release these blocking elements for healing to occur.

The Unfruitful Fig Tree: Eliminating Blocks to Healing
Now, for the unfruitful fig tree. This often perplexing act of Jesus cursing the fig tree is not an act of malice, but a powerful metaphor for decisively eliminating what is unproductive or blocks fruitfulness. In the context of healing, the "leaves" of the fig tree without fruit represent elements that are present but not contributing to actual healing and restoration.
These unfruitful elements could be chronic, unresolved inflammation, excessive scar tissue, learned pain behaviors, lack of nutrient delivery, or poor circulation. It's the "membrane that refuses to break" if our body or mind rigidly clings to the pain, resisting the churning process.
Jesus cursing the fig tree is an act of targeted intervention, sometimes aggressive, to break persistent blocks. It can be a mental and emotional "cutting off" – releasing the grip of fear, anxiety, or victimhood that prevents the body from fully regenerating. Overwhelm and anxiety, for example, can absolutely block our body's ability to regenerate. This unproductive element must go for healing to manifest.

Overwhelm and anxiety, for example, can absolutely block our body's ability to regenerate. This unproductive element must go for healing to manifest.
Conclusion: He is the Churner!My communion with Jesus, seeing Him churn butter as an answer to my prayer for ankle healing, and blending it with the fig tree parable, beautifully illustrates the transformation of physical pain into wholeness. The bone marrow is the engine of this transformation, and the unfruitful fig tree serves as a powerful reminder that we must actively identify and eliminate anything – physical, emotional, or behavioral – that hinders our inherent capacity to regenerate.
The Lord is not a distant observer of our pain. He is the Churner. His presence, which I felt so tangibly, is actively involved in our healing and wellness. Sometimes healing is a process, not a snap. He’s showing me the rhythmic, patient, and sustained effort involved in His method. My part is to participate – to bring my willingness, my obedience, my release of fear, and my faith to the churning.
He labors for our benefit. The product of His churning will be good – that pure, yummy butter of new life and wholeness. The pain needs active separation and release; its unproductive elements, like the buttermilk, must be broken down and released. He's cultivating butter, new life, and wholeness.
This incredible encounter was our reward for taking last week’s homework seriously, for sitting at His feet like Mary. He personally showed me the process of healing, just as He personally showed Mary the raising of Lazarus because of her devoted time with Him.
Let's continue to have communion with Him daily, consuming His body broken for us, cleansed of sin. In the new covenant, we have the ability to truly know Him.
I bless you, dear ones. Meditate on Him being the Churner, actively pursuing your healing. He's doing something, and you can trust and believe in Him.
