Daryl’s story is deeper than his titles. He’s been walking the path of sobriety for decades, transforming his life from rock bottom to dreams beyond imagination. His journey is a beacon of light, guiding those ready to embark on their own spiritual and brave adventure. Let's dive into his story and uncover nuggets of wisdom that can inspire transformation at any step of our journey—whether it’s the first, the tenth, or the thousandth.
I can be my own worst enemy when it comes to life. It's always me—what am I willing to do to improve?" —Daryl Dittmer Welcome, Brave Souls! Hello, family! How are you today? How is your journey of living spiritually brave unfolding? I’m Kristen Wambach, and today, I’m thrilled to introduce a guest whose story will inspire, challenge, and uplift you. Please join me in welcoming Daryl Dittmer—a savvy entrepreneur, podcaster, and fresh voice in the world of authorship. Summary In this enlightening conversation, Daryl Dittmer shares his transformative journey from addiction to spiritual bravery. He emphasizes the importance of humility, teachability, and gratitude as foundational elements for personal growth. Daryl discusses the challenges of overcoming inner battles, the significance of forgiveness, and the necessity of setting boundaries for emotional health. He also highlights the healing power of connection with nature and the practice of breathing techniques to cultivate calmness. This episode serves as an inspiring reminder that transformation is a continuous journey that requires effort, self-reflection, and a commitment to serving others. The Power of Humility and Being Teachable Daryl’s transformational journey began with a pivotal moment of humility. He highlights that humility isn’t about humiliation; it’s about being teachable. This shift happened for him at 19, facing the fear and uncertainty of entering a rehab center. Admitting, "I just don't know," was the key to unlocking a life filled with growth, learning, and purpose. Imagine how freeing it can be to release the need to have all the answers. Daryl’s experience reminds us that acknowledging our limitations opens the door to profound transformation. True strength lies in our willingness to learn, adapt, and grow. Gratitude: The Foundation of Daily Transformation When asked about his daily framework for staying teachable, Daryl’s answer was simple yet profound: gratitude. Gratitude shifts the focus from self-centeredness to the recognition of a higher power at work in our lives. For Daryl, it’s about acknowledging that he’s not the source of all things; instead, he places his trust in God. This daily practice of gratitude serves as a grounding force, reminding us to appreciate life’s simple blessings and to remain humble in our journey. Stop Fighting—Start Living The title of Daryl’s book, When You Stop Fighting, The Road You Are On Is Your Own Asphalt, encapsulates a life-changing lesson. Daryl grew up fighting—against life, himself, and his circumstances. But his mentor’s words struck a chord: "When you stop fighting, the fighting stops." This realization transformed Daryl’s life. He discovered that personal growth isn’t about wrestling with life’s challenges but about embracing them with an open heart. The fight often resides within us, and surrendering to life’s flow can lead to peace, clarity, and purpose. Connect with Daryl DittmerHis Books
I either improve and grow as a human being in all facets of life, or I diminish and flounder." —Daryl Dittmer Having now been completely sober almost four decades, I’ve uncovered, committed to, and worked very hard on a way of life that keeps on giving, so that I can give to others. “Look to principles for guidance. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. If we don’t do that, we risk being tossed about by the waves of life, ad infinitum.” When I Stop Fighting illustrates how every single one of us can stop for a few moments, take a pause, evaluate ourselves, and determine what we want to get out of our time here. A move toward a fulfilling, gratifying, and rewarding place is available for all of us, no matter where we start. This is a must read if you or someone you know is struggling, stuck, scared, unsure, or in need of a brand-new way of perceiving themselves, their world, and this journey we call life. God may or may not have been calling me for a purpose. I’m not in charge of what God decides to do, nor would I pretend I might know. I’m pretty sure though, he was hoping I’d get my head out of my ass, so I can help others do the same. Forgiveness means I can wish someone all the love and beauty in the world, but I don't have to have them in my life." —Daryl Dittmer Daily Practices for Inner Peace For those of us who tend to push through life with high expectations (myself included), Daryl offers invaluable advice:
BINGE LISTEN
Forgiveness: A Daily Supplement for the Soul Forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, is crucial for healing and growth. Daryl emphasizes that forgiveness isn’t about others accepting our apologies—it’s about keeping our side of the street clean. It’s a gift we give ourselves, freeing us from the burden of resentment and guilt. Boundaries play a vital role in this process. Forgiveness doesn’t require us to maintain relationships with toxic individuals. Instead, it allows us to release emotional baggage while protecting our well-being. Living in Service to Others In a world focused on self-improvement, Daryl reminds us that true fulfillment comes from serving others. Whether it’s offering a smile to a stranger, striking up a conversation with someone in need, or practicing simple acts of kindness, these small gestures ripple out, creating a more compassionate world. The journey of self-improvement isn’t about reaching a final destination. It’s about showing up every day, doing the work, and sharing our light with the world. Allow life to flow through you. The flow is what keeps us moving forward." —Daryl Dittmer LIVE RECORDINGChapters 00:00 Introduction to Daryl Dittmer's Journey 04:21 The Importance of Humility and Teachable Moments 10:20 Overcoming Life's Challenges and Stopping the Fight 17:35 Rebuilding Beliefs and Embracing Life's Lessons 23:42 The Power of Service and Self-Improvement 27:16 The Role of Forgiveness in Personal Growth 32:11 Releasing Physical and Emotional Pain 36:18 Breathing Techniques for Mindfulness and Calm 41:45 New Chapter Call to Action: Breathe, Reflect, Transform Take a moment today to pause.

In the fast-paced world of business and personal development, few stories resonate as deeply as that of Paul Tembunde. A transformative leader, business executive, and mindset coach, Paul's journey from a young immigrant with a dream to co-owner of a thriving home care franchise and founder of Premier Destiny LLC is nothing short of inspiring. His story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the unshakeable belief in oneself. Summary: In this engaging episode of "Interviewing Jesus Podcast," host Kristen Wambach sits down with Paul Tembunde—a business executive, mindset coach, and transformational expert. Paul shares his inspiring journey from Cameroon to the United States, detailing how faith, resilience, and a growth mindset transformed his life and business. As the co-owner of a thriving home care franchise and Premier Destiny LLC, Paul reveals powerful insights about leadership, personal development, and the importance of serving others.
Paul's Remarkable Journey: Paul and his wife Joan, both immigrants from Cameroon, embarked on a life-changing journey when they decided to start a home care business in 2002. Despite having minimal experience and limited finances, their unshakeable faith and strategic mindset propelled their business to success, serving countless seniors and creating job opportunities in their community. Paul’s entrepreneurial spirit was sparked during his early days in the U.S., where he pursued higher education and faced the challenges of adapting to a new culture. His curiosity led him to Amway, where he discovered the transformative power of personal development. This pivotal moment introduced him to influential works like Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," laying the foundation for his growth-oriented mindset. The Turning Point: Embracing Faith and Mentorship Paul's life took a transformative turn when he and his wife, Joan, ventured into the home care industry. Despite limited experience, they invested their savings and faith into purchasing a franchise. We had no money, no experience, but we had God, we had faith," —Paul Tembunde Connect with Paul Tembunde

This experience helped him unlock his true potential, reshaping his beliefs about self-worth, success, and purpose. Paul emphasizes that real growth comes from within, highlighting the importance of aligning personal values with actions. He candidly shares how faith played an integral role in his life, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, which almost led to the closure of their business. Paul's deep connection with God, daily prayer, and meditation practices provided the guidance and resilience needed to overcome obstacles and thrive. BINGE LISTEN
When asked how he deals with fear, Pauls response is profound: "Fear is not knowing. Faith is the antidote." During the COVID-19 pandemic, Paul's business faced unprecedented challenges. Yet, through prayer, resilience, and strategic action, they not only survived but thrived. "Gods grace saw us through. Challenges are just toll gates on the road to success." Bet on yourself.

The Beginning of Forever
We were married outdoors at the charming Cafe del Romero in Balboa Park, San Diego. It was beautiful in the way weddings are supposed to be—full of hope, love, and the promise of a future built together. At that time, I didn’t fully understand the depth of what marriage entailed. I knew Jesus from my childhood, but I hadn’t yet learned to seek His guidance in life’s major decisions. Yet, even in my brokenness, God had a plan. He knew what He was doing when He brought Don and me together.

The Journey of Growth
Our marriage was not without its challenges. We navigated the early years of raising our sons, supporting a growing family, and facing financial hardships. We lost a business and a home, which was a deeply painful experience. But through those trials, we discovered resilience, forgiveness, and the power of God’s restoration. It took seven years before we could purchase a home again, but during that time, God grew our hearts, strengthened our faith, and taught us invaluable lessons about gratitude, perseverance, and grace.

Lessons Learned Along the Way
- Know Your Why: Understanding your purpose and passion helps you weather any storm. Knowing why you get up each day, why you choose to love, and why you keep going when times are tough is the foundation of a strong marriage.
- Appreciate What You Both Bring to the Table: Celebrate the unique qualities your spouse brings into your life. Don’s loyalty, faithfulness, and mechanical genius balance my spiritual passion and creativity. Together, we create a partnership rooted in mutual respect and admiration.
- Forgiveness is Key: The most powerful lesson I’ve learned is the importance of forgiveness—both for your spouse and yourself. Holding onto pain only breeds bitterness. Letting go frees your heart to love fully and authentically.
- Invest in Joy: Prioritize time together. Whether it’s Friday night dates, sailing adventures, or simple walks, investing in shared experiences fosters connection and joy.
- Hold Fast to Core Values: In moments of conflict, remember your personal and shared values. They serve as anchors, keeping you grounded in love and commitment.
God is a God of complete restoration. And He has restored so much. But I know there's more, there's more restoration that is in His hand."
How to Restore Joy in Your Marriage
If joy feels distant, rekindle it by being intentional. Plan date nights, take walks, watch movies together, and create moments that remind you of why you fell in love. It’s in these simple, shared experiences that joy often hides, waiting to be rediscovered.

David's Journey to Transformation
Growing up in a military family, David experienced a life of structure and constant relocation. This nomadic lifestyle shaped his early years, instilling discipline but also a sense of disruption. His pivot came during his Marine Corps tenure when he rekindled his passion for poetry—a spark that reignited his creative spirit and led him to question the blueprint he was following. This introspection marked the beginning of his journey towards authenticity, culminating in his transition to the corporate world and his role as an executive coach.

A lifetime journey. A test of faith. A calling to a deeper love. This is more than a book; it's a heartfelt testament to resilience, devotion, and discovering love's true meaning through the eyes of King David.In Becoming One with Christ, I share my journey--a lifetime of seeking spiritual depth and strength, which was put to the ultimate test during the pandemic. During that turbulent time, I encountered profound revelations through David's trials, triumphs, and unwavering faith. Now I want to share these lessons with you in hopes they will inspire and embolden your own walk of faith.
What you write is what you invite. Clarifying your dreams on paper is the first step towards realizing them." —David Richards
The Power of Journaling and Self-Awareness
David emphasizes the transformative power of journaling. He suggests that true clarity and self-expression begin with an honest dialogue with oneself. Journaling acts as a reflective tool, helping individuals articulate their thoughts, confront their fears, and reconnect with their inner purpose. According to David, "What you write is what you invite," underscoring the idea that written words can manifest one’s deepest desires and aspirations.
Mindfulness and Breaking the Cycle of Complacency
A recurring theme in David's teachings is the importance of mindfulness. He differentiates between the mind and awareness, suggesting that while the mind processes information, awareness dictates where we focus our attention. Practical exercises like altering daily routines, mindful breathing, and journaling can disrupt complacency, fostering a heightened sense of presence and engagement with life.

Honorable Mentions
 The bestselling success book of all time—now revised and updated for the 21st century. Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.” It was the first book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner?” The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent “a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort” to produce the “Law of Success” philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. |  The all-time best-selling writer's handbook turns 30. With insight, humor, and practicality, Natalie Goldberg inspires writers and would-be writers to take the leap into writing skillfully and creatively. She offers suggestions, encouragement, and solid advice on many aspects of the writer's craft: on writing from "first thoughts" (keep your hand moving, don't cross out, just get it on paper), on listening (writing is ninety percent listening; the deeper you listen, the better you write), on using verbs (verbs provide the energy of the sentence), on overcoming doubts (doubt is torture; don't listen to it)—even on choosing a restaurant in which to write. Goldberg sees writing as a practice that helps writers comprehend the value of their lives. The advice in her book, provided in short, easy-to-read chapters with titles that reflect the author's witty approach ("Writing Is Not a McDonald's Hamburger," "Man Eats Car," "Be an Animal"), will inspire anyone who writes—or who longs to. |

Kristens journey with distraction began the very morning she recorded her podcast. She woke up with a clear plan: workout, sip coffee brewed the night before, and dive into recording her heartfelt message. The day was mapped out, the intentions set. But life, as it often does, had other plans.
Her first hurdle? A technical hiccup. Trying to connect to her meeting, she found herself staring at the spinning wheel of "connecting" longer than expected. By the time things worked, she had to improvise, squeezing a planned hour into just 20 minutes. Frustration nipped at her heels. Yet, amidst this chaos, a thought emerged: "Did distraction itself present itself because I needed to talk about it today?"
This wasn't just an interruption; it was a lesson wrapped in real-time experience.

Understanding Distractions
Kristen realized distractions come in many forms:
Through her mornings chaos, Kristen anchored herself with three questions:
Kristen realized distractions come in many forms:
- Visual Distractions: The clutter around us or sudden movements that catch our eye.
- Auditory Distractions: The background noiseslike Dash, her dog, snoring softly as she recorded. Instead of irritation, Kristen felt gratitude for her loyal companion.
- Emotional Distractions: The rising tide of stress from unmet expectations.
- Spiritual Distractions: Losing focus on our connection with God amidst daily noise.
Through her mornings chaos, Kristen anchored herself with three questions:
- Who Do You Want to Be Today?
- As the morning unraveled differently than planned, she reflected: "I want to be someone who responds with grace, not frustration."
- What Is Important Right Now?
- Despite the technical setbacks, her heart knew: "What matters is sharing this message of clarity and connection with my listeners."
- What Is Your Next Right Step?
- Simply pressing "record," even with background noises and imperfect conditions, was the next step.
Get alone with God, get alone with yourself—clarity is born in those quiet spaces."

Divine vs. Self-Induced Distractions
Kristen pondered: Were these distractions random or divine nudges? Maybe, just maybe, God orchestrated them to shape her message genuinely. She realized not all distractions derail us; some redirect us to profound truths.

Kristen pondered: Were these distractions random or divine nudges? Maybe, just maybe, God orchestrated them to shape her message genuinely. She realized not all distractions derail us; some redirect us to profound truths.
Practical Strategies to Overcome Distractions
- Time Blocking: Allocate specific times for tasks to maintain focus.
- Mindfulness: Kristen found a moment of calm amidst chaos, breathing deeply to center herself.
- Environment Optimization: Embracing Dash's soft snores as comforting background music rather than a disturbance.
- Digital Detox: Limiting unnecessary screen time to maintain mental clarity.
Spiritual Anchors for Clarity
Anchoring her morning with scripture, Kristen leaned into:
- Fix Your Eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2): Shifting focus from chaos to divine peace.
- Set Your Mind on Things Above (Colossians 3:2): Remembering that heavenly perspectives outshine earthly frustrations.
- Look Straight Ahead (Proverbs 4:25-27): Staying true to her path, even when it meandered unexpectedly.
In a biblical context, "distraction" isn't always explicitly defined by a single word, but rather understood through its implications and consequences. It generally refers to anything that diverts one's attention, focus, or devotion away from God, His will, or spiritual priorities.
Here's a breakdown of the biblical understanding of distraction:
Key Concepts and Examples:
Here's a breakdown of the biblical understanding of distraction:
Key Concepts and Examples:
- Diverted from God and His Purpose: The primary concern regarding distraction in the Bible is its potential to lead individuals astray from their faith and purpose. This can manifest as:
- Worldly Cares and Worries: The parable of the sower (Matthew 13:22, Mark 4:18-19, Luke 8:14) illustrates how "the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things" can choke the Word of God, making it unfruitful. Luke 21:34 also warns against hearts being "overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life."
- Materialism and Riches: Matthew 6:24 states, "No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and money." The pursuit of wealth can easily become a consuming distraction.
- Pleasing People vs. God: Galatians 1:10, implicitly, and 1 Corinthians 7:35, explicitly, encourage devotion to the Lord without distraction, suggesting that seeking human approval can be a diversion from God's will.
- Busyness and Over-occupation: The most famous example is Martha in Luke 10:38-42. While Mary sat at Jesus' feet, Martha was "distracted with much serving" (Greek: perispaō, meaning "to be drawn around, distracted, over-occupied"). Jesus gently rebuked her, emphasizing that "only one thing is necessary," which Mary had chosen. This highlights the danger of even good works becoming a distraction if they overshadow spiritual priorities.
- Sin and Temptation: Hebrews 12:1 speaks of "laying aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us," implying that sin is a major distraction that hinders spiritual progress. 2 Corinthians 11:3 points to Eve's mind being "corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" by the serpent's cunning, a form of spiritual distraction.
- Loss of Focus and Steadfastness: The Bible emphasizes the importance of maintaining a steadfast gaze and mind on spiritual things:
- Fixing Eyes on Jesus: Hebrews 12:2 encourages believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, the "author and perfecter of faith," suggesting that looking away leads to stumbling, as Peter did when he became distracted by the wind and waves (Matthew 14:28-31).
- Setting Your Mind on Things Above: Colossians 3:2 exhorts, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things," indicating that a distracted mind is one focused on transient worldly concerns.
- Looking Straight Ahead: Proverbs 4:25-27 advises, "Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you... Do not turn to the right or the left." This emphasizes keeping one's path aligned with God's.
- Undivided Devotion: 1 Corinthians 7:35 speaks of the desire for believers to have "undivided devotion to the Lord," implying that distraction is a division of devotion.
- Hindrance to Spiritual Growth: Distractions can prevent believers from growing in their faith, bearing spiritual fruit, and discerning God's will.
- Loss of Peace: Isaiah 26:3 states, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Distraction often leads to anxiety and worry, disrupting this peace.
- Vulnerability to Temptation: When attention is diverted from God, individuals become more susceptible to the schemes of the devil, as emphasized in 1 Peter 5:8 ("Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour").
- Unfruitfulness: As seen in the parable of the sower, distraction can render the Word of God unfruitful in a person's life.
- Who do you want to be today? Anchor your actions to that vision, and distractions will lose their power." —viaK

A Baptism of Curiosity and Transformation
Kristen’s warm introduction sets the tone, inviting us to ponder, “How does a Baptist farm girl from Oregon stumble upon the mystical nature of Christ?” This question isn’t just personal—it echoes in the hearts of many seekers.

Growing up with traditional religious roots, Kristen describes how her encounters with the mystical aspects of Christ reshaped her worldview.

My experience of God through conversations with Jesus—it is light. There’s a humor to it, a lightness to it. We have really dug ourselves a heavy hole here. Let's lighten up a little bit." —Devon Kerns
The Spiritual Dialogue: Lightness in the Midst of Chaos
In their profound exchange, Kristen and Devin explore the essence of spirituality through the lens of personal encounters with Jesus. Devin recounts a transformative dialogue with Christ, where amidst deep reflection, Jesus whispered humorously, “Can we just tell everybody to lighten up?” This simple, yet profound message resonates deeply—encouraging us to release the weight of life’s seriousness and embrace a lighter, more joyful existence.
Devin’s insight into the dance between heart and harmony reveals that strength isn’t about rigidity but about the resilience to maintain love and lightness even amidst life’s storms. He artfully compares life’s challenges to the natural world, where even the chaos of a forest fire paves the way for new growth.

Healing: People, Land, and Economies
The conversation shifts to the practical application of spiritual principles in healing not just individuals but communities and ecosystems. Devin draws parallels between tuning an instrument and aligning oneself with purpose. Just as a guitar string must be neither too tight nor too loose to produce the right note, our lives require balance to resonate with authenticity and truth.
Through Devin’s lens, healing the land mirrors healing the soul. Nature, when left to its own devices, returns to harmony. This natural resilience teaches us that our personal and collective well-being hinges on reconnecting with foundational truths—simplicity, gratitude, and presence.

A Call to Action: Presence Over Perfection
Kristen’s reflective questions guide listeners to a pivotal realization: “How do we remain present amidst life’s distractions and pains?” Devin’s answer is both liberating and challenging. He emphasizes that the goal isn’t to avoid falling off life’s tightrope but to master the art of returning to balance without guilt or shame.
The power of presence, Devin asserts, isn’t in perfection but in the practice of returning—again and again—to the now. It’s in asking ourselves, “Am I okay right now?” and discovering that, often, the answer is yes.

Connect with Jessica L. Morris
| Raised by a small-town minister, whose darkest sides came out at home as his disease of alcoholism progressed, Jessica’s childhood was proof to her that God hated her. Why else would He have placed her in such a home? Worse than the abuse and suffering she experienced as a child was the realization as a young adult that Jessica had become just like her father – an addict who cared only about herself. Through self-searching, recovery from her addictions, and intense therapy to address the childhood trauma experienced, Jessica’s seeking after the Truth eventually led her to enroll in seminary – to learn for herself what had been so skewed through the voice of addiction (her father’s and her own). In Higher Powered, the author introduces the term "personal eschatology" (the end of her world as she knows it in order to follow Jesus Christ). |  |
Weaving her story into the stories of Nicodemus, Lazarus, and the apostle Paul, the author illustrates how Jesus’s comments about his second coming were symbolic in nature – not an end-of-the-world event for everyone to experience at the same time, but instead, a personal interaction with him when each individual is spiritually ready. The focus is away from the apocalyptic “end times” for the whole world, and towards the exclusive return of Jesus – just for you – the individual person. With this idea, the author’s relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God was healed of all fear, hatred, resentment, and self-degradation. Jessica’s hope is that others will take the time to sit with her for a while, listen to some stories, and discover the beauty of personal eschatology, or, becoming Higher Powered – the end of your personal world as you know it so that you can live in the Kingdom of God with Jesus right here on earth.
God has completely relieved me from the obsession with food and alcohol. That didn’t happen overnight, but it happened. It is an absolute blessing." —Jessica Morris
Unearthing Barriers to Divine Connection
Jessica's path wasn’t linear. She candidly recounts her struggles with food and alcohol addictions, describing them as "pure evil" that kept her enslaved, clouding her personal connection with God. Her turning point—an intervention led by her sister and a critical counseling session—propelled her into recovery, unearthing the debris that obscured her relationship with the divine.
Through recovery, Jessica rediscovered her love for writing, a gift she’d suppressed since college. Poems poured out of her like waterfalls, each verse a healing balm and a testament to her newfound freedom. Today, she dedicates her life to writing, spiritual direction, and sharing her story to inspire others.

The Love of God: A Personal Revelation
When asked what the love of God feels like, Jessica’s response is profoundly moving. She describes a tangible sensation—"tingling in my forearms"—a physical manifestation of divine presence. Unlike her childhood perception of a fearsome, distant deity, Jessica now experiences God as her best friend, parent, confidant, and an ever-present source of unconditional love.
This transformation in her understanding of God’s love underscores a pivotal theme: the journey from fear to trust, from self-protection to vulnerability.

Her advice? Don’t blindly follow religious authorities. Engage with scripture personally, ask questions, and seek Jesus as your interpreter. This approach fosters a deeply personal, authentic faith that transcends traditional church walls.

Higher Powered: A Book That Mirrors Your Soul
Jessica’s book, Higher Powered, is more than a memoir—it’s a mirror reflecting the reader’s own journey.

Activations: Tangible Encounters with the Divine
Throughout their conversation, Kristen emphasizes "activations"—moments where the divine becomes tangible. Whether through physical sensations, intuitive nudges, or emotional breakthroughs, these activations serve as reminders of God’s ever-present, touchable nature.
Jessica’s activations often come through nature—birds, deer, and the serene call of a morning dove. These encounters are not mere coincidences; they’re divine love notes, affirming God’s presence in the ordinary.

My hair, tho I prefer it up and in a bun, messy, plenty of product, perfect. Tried short a few times, not! To my mother's dismay. | Spiritually? It is such a gas to see in the spirit, never a dull moment. You look at all the different animals; and some of them you think, God what were you thinking that day you made this creature? The paint brush of God is and will forever be splendid! |

Big Girl Pants Day: Let’s Talk About Strength, Surrender, and Self-Care
Hey there, friend! I’m so glad you’re here today. Can we just take a moment and savor this together? I’ve got my hot water with lemon and honey—what are you sipping on? After last week's impromptu Monday chat, I thought, "Why not pour another cup and dive right in again?" Because some days just call for it, don’t they? You know, those "Big Girl Pants" days. Ever had one of those? I bet you have.

Ever had one of those? I bet you have.

|
| | So, What Exactly Is a "Big Girl Pants Day"? You’ve heard the phrase, right? "Put on your big girl pants." But what does that really mean? Is it just about facing the world with a brave face? Or is there more to it? To me, it’s about waking up, knowing you’ve got responsibilities to tackle, challenges to face, and emotions to juggle—all while trying to keep it together. Sound familiar? |
But here’s my question for you: Have you ever felt like you’re wearing that strong front, but underneath, you’re holding back tears—or maybe even triumphs you’re too exhausted to celebrate? I have. And that’s exactly what I want to talk about with you today.
The Power Behind the Strong Front Last Monday, we talked about mercy triumphing over judgment. Do you remember that? It’s been on my mind a lot, especially because that very afternoon, my daughter-in-love was in a terrifying car accident. Hit by a drunk driver. Can you believe it? Looking at the photos of the wreck took my breath away. But—praise God—she’s okay. A little surgery ahead, but she’s here, safe. Isn’t that something to be thankful for?
And you know what struck me? Talking about mercy just hours before needing to lean on it with my whole heart. Isn’t life funny that way? Have you ever felt like the universe—or God—is preparing you for something without you even realizing it?
And you know what struck me? Talking about mercy just hours before needing to lean on it with my whole heart. Isn’t life funny that way? Have you ever felt like the universe—or God—is preparing you for something without you even realizing it?
Are We Too Strong for Our Own Good?
Now, let me ask you this: Do you ever tell yourself to "suck it up" just to get through the day? I used to—"Suck it up, Kristen." That was my go-to pep talk. But here’s what hit me one day: if I’m always "sucking it up," when do I let God be my comforter? When do I allow myself to just… feel?
So, how do you process your tough days? Do you push through, or do you take a moment to breathe, cry, or even laugh at the absurdity of it all?

What Does "Help" Look Like to You?
Let’s pause here. Say out loud three things that "help" looks like for you.
Go ahead—I’ll wait. Is it sleep? A comforting chat with a friend? A quiet moment alone? Isn’t it interesting how we all define help differently?
For me, it’s those intentional moments—like stretching before bed. I kneel, stretch out as far as I can, and just surrender. Sometimes I cry, and you know what? That’s okay. It’s healing. It’s human.
Can We Talk About Boundaries?Here’s a tough one: Are you the person everyone comes to for help? But when was the last time you asked for help? Think about that. Isn’t it funny how we can be so good at giving but struggle with receiving?
Setting boundaries isn’t about shutting people out—it’s about holding space for yourself. So, what boundaries do you need to set today? What weight are you carrying that you could release, even just a little?

Biblical judgment encompasses several key aspects that outline how God's evaluation works:
In essence, biblical judgment is the process through which God, and believers in specific contexts, discern, evaluate, and make decisions based on righteousness and truth. It ultimately emphasizes accountability and the corresponding consequences for actions.
- Divine Assessment: Judgment primarily refers to God's evaluation of human actions, thoughts, and intentions, grounded in His holiness, righteousness, and justice.
- Discernment and Decision: It involves discerning between right and wrong, leading to decisions or decrees based on God's perfect evaluation.
- Accountability: A core theme is holding individuals and nations accountable for their actions before God.
- Consequences: Judgment results in consequences—blessings for obedience and punishment for disobedience, which can be immediate or related to end times (eschatological).
- Facets of Judgment:
- God's Judgment: Includes both immediate judgments seen in historical events (like the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah) and future final judgments for all humanity.
- Human Judgment: Believers are encouraged to exercise moral discernment aligned with God’s will, avoiding hypocritical or self-righteous judgments.
- Judgment of Believers and Unbelievers: Christ's offering of life and death, Done, Finished! God gave up the right to be angry!
In essence, biblical judgment is the process through which God, and believers in specific contexts, discern, evaluate, and make decisions based on righteousness and truth. It ultimately emphasizes accountability and the corresponding consequences for actions.

It was in that raw, vulnerable space that she heard God’s voice—audible, comforting, and life-changing. That divine encounter wasn’t just a turning point; it was the beginning of a genuine relationship with God.
"I heard God speak to me in such an audible way. He told me to keep the baby and that He would be my husband and his father." — Desiree Taylor She says, “It wasn’t about perfect trust back then—I was desperate. But now, after walking with Him through life’s ups and downs, I trust completely. Even in hard times, I know He’s good.”
What Does Trust Really Mean?
When asked how she defines trust, Desiree’s response was simple yet profound:
"Trust is really connected to belief—a rooted belief, not just knowing." — Desiree TaylorThink about that. It’s not just knowing about God; it’s believing, deep in your core, that He’s with you.

Living Beyond Religion—Embracing Divine Grace
Desiree’s journey also involved unlearning religious expectations that skewed her perception of God’s unconditional love.
"Perfection is impossible. The only one who will ever be completely faithful to me is God." — Desiree Taylor
Her secret? Constant practice. She leans on the Holy Spirit, pausing when needed, renewing her mind with God’s word, and depending on divine guidance daily. “One day, you just realize you’re doing it naturally,” she laughs.

Listening—With More Than Just Ears
One part of our conversation that really stuck with me was Desiree’s description of how removing her cochlear implants brings profound quiet.
"When I take them off, I hear absolutely nothing. But that silence helps me focus entirely on God. It’s just me and Him." — Desiree Taylor She challenges us to create that kind of stillness in our lives—turning off distractions to truly listen. And it’s not always about audible hearing. Sometimes, it’s about feeling His presence, sensing His touch, or recognizing His peace in the stillness.

Cultivating Quiet Moments
So, how does Desiree quiet her heart after a tough day? She pauses. She acknowledges her need, makes tea, journals, or simply talks to God—sometimes whispering, sometimes writing.
"Writing has been therapeutic. When it comes out of my head and onto the paper, I really release it in a different way." — Desiree Taylor

Thanks for joining me today. It's such a pleasure to connect and share insights with you. Recently, I had a fascinating chat with a guest in Austria, highlighting how diverse our worldly perspectives can be. We dove into a topic close to my heart: educating children, especially those sensitive to the spiritual realm. Often, parents might not recognize their child's spiritual awareness or may not have developed their own. This can lead to misunderstanding or dismissing a child’s spiritual experiences. My guest and I, from different backgrounds—one oracular, one contemplative—sought ways parents can nurture their children’s spiritual gifts, helping them thrive. A key point was taking children seriously when they share seemingly fantastical experiences. In a world full of imagined constructs, dismissing such experiences can stifle spiritual growth. Instead, we should honor their perceptions as real and meaningful.
For example, if a child wakes up scared of a monster under the bed, we might dismiss it as a bad dream. But acknowledging their fear and asking them to describe it opens a dialog that respects their experience. This approach validates the child and strengthens the parent-child bond, creating a space where the child feels heard and understood. By embracing and exploring these experiences, we can foster environments that encourage the development of spiritual gifts. Listening to their stories helps us relate to universal experiences, not so different from our own. Through this, we grow and learn together.

Books every Parent should read to educate themselves about the spirit.
The Seer by James W. Goll: very dear to my heart. The first book I read that affirmed (I'm not Crazy) what the Lord was continuously showing me was biblically real!
Highly Recommend for scriptural proof.
Highly Recommend for scriptural proof.
The Veil by Blake Healy: a profound child Seer, his story is riveting. Highly Recommend.
The UnFinished Book by yours truly: a journey into heaven... A must read, especially to prepare you for my next book. OMG
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” ~ William Butler Yeats

Let's revisit our earlier conversation about parents supporting each other in nurturing their children's spiritual perceptions rather than stifling them. It's essential to approach this with patience. If we react with anger or hurry when we don't understand what our children are expressing, we risk shutting them down. This mirrors my own experience when silence from my mom stifled communication. Children might seek others to share their thoughts with, and it's important to be the person they feel comfortable communicating with. This might require a shift in mindset.
I'm thrilled by the depth of our discussion today, full of valuable insights. I'll definitely revisit it.
Today, we discussed the importance of listening, breathing, and respecting our shared experiences. Being aware of how we interact with these experiences helps us better honor and understand the communication, whether it's pictorial, emotional, or another form of expression. It's important for us as parents to become fluent in this language, as it's a part of our own communication too.
I’d like to conclude with a prayer, asking for guidance in unpacking our discussions on listening, breathing, and honoring communication. Let the love of God and life shine through us, recognizing each other as that light and love. Amen.
Thank you for joining us and sharing your thoughts and hearts. Your contribution is deeply appreciated.

From LA Roots to a Calling: When the Universe Sends a Message
Let's dive right in, shall we? And listeners, please know that I truly value your engagement. Feel free to send in your questions – ask them with an open mind, and I'll do my very best to tune in and hear them so we can have a truly lovely conversation together. Speaking of journeys, I was recently reminded of a pivotal moment in my life, one that still feels incredibly vivid. It was during a time when I was working at a PR agency, and the topic of life coaching came up. Little did I know, the universe was about to deliver a message in a way I could never have imagined.
Suddenly, it felt as if the ceiling above me opened up. Clouds gently rolled out, and on one of them rested a book. This wasn't just any book; it seemed to burst open, its pages fanning out right before my eyes, as if revealing every answer I had ever sought.
It was an undeniable moment. I knew, deep down, that something profound had shifted. I had received a call, a clear direction for my path.
Interestingly, at that time, I was also deeply involved in a four-year spiritual practitioner program, on my way to becoming a spiritual counselor. The very next day, I found myself in a meeting with my minister, trying to articulate this surreal experience.
"Okay," I began, "so the ceiling opened up, a cloud appeared, a book was on it... you know, the whole thing. The book shot open, then went back on the cloud and disappeared back into the ceiling. Hello?"
What followed was a profound sense of knowing, a download of information that felt like the answer to every question I had ever held. And along with it came a clear instruction: this knowledge was meant to be shared.
Now, as many of you know, being told to do something doesn't automatically equate to feeling ready or capable. Doubt crept in. I remembered leaving college with just three credits shy of graduating. How could I possibly step into a role where I would guide others? Surely, I needed to finish my bachelor's, pursue a master's and a PhD, perhaps even write a book. In my mind, I wouldn't be "ready" for at least another seven to ten years.
I shared these reservations with my minister, but her response was unwavering: "You got the call. When you get the call, you're ready."
I pushed back, my past experiences feeling like insurmountable obstacles. "No, you don't understand," I insisted. "Don't you remember? I was an alcoholic. I had DUIs, suicide attempts, all of that. I need to do so much more work on myself before I could ever even speak about these things."
She continued to offer her affirmation, a gentle but persistent nudge. It took many months for me to truly surrender to that calling, to say yes. At that time, I was still heavily influenced by the belief that my past defined my future, that I couldn't transcend the difficult experiences I had navigated, often poorly. I didn't see myself as a role model. How could I possibly tell people about this profound download and then essentially say, "Listen to God through me, but maybe don't look too closely at my own life"?
But eventually, I did surrender. It wasn't easy, but I finally took that leap of faith. And here I am today. It's a journey that continues, with gentle nudges from the universe along the way.
And yes, you're right, the universe certainly has its own way of guiding us!

INTERVIEWING JESUS
CONQUERING Rejection |
Today, I'm thrilled to share the journey of Dr. Danny Brassell, a true leader of leaders. Our paths recently crossed, and I was captivated by his story—a narrative that moves from a bustling newsroom to the world of education and beyond.
Our conversation began with a warm exchange, as Dr. Brassell, with his characteristic humor, jokingly mentioned that if he ever finds himself at the pearly gates, he’s bringing me along for an endorsement. His light-heartedness immediately set the tone for a delightful discussion.
Dr. Brassell has been a globe-trotter these days, sharing experiences that range from the cultural richness of Cuba to the historic depths of Robben Island in South Africa. His recount of being in South Korea during martial law was both thrilling and humbling—a reminder of the unpredictable nature of global travel.
Based in the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado, Dr. Brassell has transitioned from the role of an educator to a revered leader in the educational sphere. Our chat naturally led to the pivotal moments that shaped his career. His journey began over three decades ago as a journalist, covering significant events like the 1992 presidential election. Despite his love for journalism, a friend's tip about teaching opportunities in South Central Los Angeles led him to education, driven, as he humorously notes, by the "high pay" of $25,000 a year compared to journalism's $16,500.
But life is never a straight line. In 2005, a real estate seminar scam left him and his wife with nothing. Yet, instead of dwelling on the loss, Dr. Brassell embraced the lessons. He speaks fondly of his wife, his soulmate, who stood by him through thick and thin. This experience taught him the fleeting nature of money and the importance of empathy—realizing that one cannot truly understand a person’s journey without knowing their complete story.
Dr. Brassell’s life is a testament to resilience and the power of positive thinking. His story reminds us that every setback is a setup for a comeback. It’s about learning, growing, and embracing every twist and turn with grace and gratitude.
Thank you for joining me today, and I hope Dr. Brassell's journey inspires you as much as it did me. Until next time, keep embracing your own pivots and finding the beauty in life’s unexpected paths.
Our conversation began with a warm exchange, as Dr. Brassell, with his characteristic humor, jokingly mentioned that if he ever finds himself at the pearly gates, he’s bringing me along for an endorsement. His light-heartedness immediately set the tone for a delightful discussion.
Dr. Brassell has been a globe-trotter these days, sharing experiences that range from the cultural richness of Cuba to the historic depths of Robben Island in South Africa. His recount of being in South Korea during martial law was both thrilling and humbling—a reminder of the unpredictable nature of global travel.
Based in the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado, Dr. Brassell has transitioned from the role of an educator to a revered leader in the educational sphere. Our chat naturally led to the pivotal moments that shaped his career. His journey began over three decades ago as a journalist, covering significant events like the 1992 presidential election. Despite his love for journalism, a friend's tip about teaching opportunities in South Central Los Angeles led him to education, driven, as he humorously notes, by the "high pay" of $25,000 a year compared to journalism's $16,500.
But life is never a straight line. In 2005, a real estate seminar scam left him and his wife with nothing. Yet, instead of dwelling on the loss, Dr. Brassell embraced the lessons. He speaks fondly of his wife, his soulmate, who stood by him through thick and thin. This experience taught him the fleeting nature of money and the importance of empathy—realizing that one cannot truly understand a person’s journey without knowing their complete story.
Dr. Brassell’s life is a testament to resilience and the power of positive thinking. His story reminds us that every setback is a setup for a comeback. It’s about learning, growing, and embracing every twist and turn with grace and gratitude.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?” – Marianne Williamson

In this engaging conversation, Chantal Santiago shares her insights on the power of words, the importance of taking dominion over our lives, and the journey of healing and personal growth. She emphasizes the role of declarations and mindset shifts in transforming our circumstances and encourages women to embrace their divine authority. Through personal stories and practical advice, Chantal inspires listeners to speak life and truth into their situations, ultimately leading to a movement of empowerment and faith.
In the midst of life’s chaos, there lies an undeniable truth: our words hold immense power. Chantal Santiago, a radiant voice in the realm of personal growth and empowerment, invites us to reflect on this reality in her recent conversation. Through her insights, she reminds us that we have the ability to shape our lives through the declarations we make and the mindset we adopt.
One of the key takeaways from Chantal’s discussion is the importance of declarations. These are not just empty affirmations; they are potent statements that can transform our reality. When we speak life into our situations, we begin a process of reclamation. Chantal emphasizes that taking dominion over our lives is not just a lofty idea—it’s a personal responsibility. We need to recognize that we are the architects of our own narratives, and it starts with the words we choose to embrace.

We need to recognize that we are the architects of our own narratives, and it starts with the words we choose to embrace.
A significant aspect of this journey involves making crucial mindset shifts. Healing and personal growth often require us to dismantle limiting beliefs that have held us captive for too long. Chantal encourages women to embrace their divine authority, reminding us that our thoughts and emotions can significantly influence our words and actions. If we allow negativity to seep into our mindset, we may inadvertently speak death into our circumstances. Conversely, by cultivating a mindset rooted in positivity and faith, we can speak life and transformation into our lives.
Chantal’s insights resonate deeply in a world where it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by challenges. She reminds us that we are not defined by our limitations; instead, we can overcome them by speaking God’s truth over our lives. This is where the magic happens—when we align our declarations with a higher purpose, we open ourselves up to possibilities we never thought possible. It’s a gentle nudge to remember that we are more than conquerors, and our words can serve as the vehicles that carry us toward our destiny.

It’s a reminder that our struggles can serve as the backdrop for our greatest victories when we choose to walk in authority and declare our truth.

“The reason for the resurrection is that the kingdom of Christ is not to be in heaven entirely. It is to be in this world. And the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is to rule in this world. Consequently, while we live in this world we will need a body like our Lord’s—capable of existence here, and capable of existence over there.” —John G. Lake

Hello, beautiful souls! Kristen Wambach here, and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be coming to you live from the stunning Mount Tabor in Portland for our 200th episode! Yes, you heard that right—200 episodes! So, grab a cozy spot, settle in, and let's soak in this moment together.
Behind me, you’ll see one of the historic water reservoirs—it has this majestic castle-like pump station that makes this place feel even more special. The sun is shining, and you can hear the laughter and joy of folks enjoying this beautiful day. It’s simply wonderful!
Now, let me take you on a little journey back in time. About 20 years ago, I was here in a chapel, leading worship for a conference. It was a last-minute ask for me to step up from the worship team to lead, and let me tell you, it was a divine encounter like no other. An angel named Michael came and played for me while I led worship—it was phenomenal! I’ve shared that story in the show notes, so be sure to check it out.
For the past couple of months, I’ve been asking God where we should celebrate this milestone, and He drew me here, to the top of Mount Tabor. What an honor it is to stand where so many have encountered the love of God before me!
I have my trusty book with me—written by Gloria Copeland, it tells the incredible story of John G. Lake. I’ve highlighted a few passages that have truly resonated with me and I can’t wait to share them with you. For those of you tuning in audibly, welcome! We’ve got a video view too, so you can join me live in this beautiful space.
John G. Lake was a powerhouse of faith in the early 1900s, and he had a vision of an angel that opened the Bible to the book of Acts, emphasizing the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost. This angel instructed him to strive for this same outpouring, to teach people to pray for it, because it was the answer to the deepest needs of the human heart. Can you just imagine that moment?
I want to share a thought that really struck me. Lake spoke of the Spirit of God as not just an influence but a tangible substance—the very essence of God’s being. It’s powerful to think about the Spirit as something with substance, something that we can truly experience and feel within us.
So, I invite you to open your hearts and spirits today. Let’s allow this heavenly substance to flow through us and change us. I know many of us might feel our faith has been put aside, but I believe that God wants to breathe life into it again.
As we gather here, I feel the presence of the cloud of witnesses surrounding us—angels and the spirits of those who have gone before us, all encouraging us to share and radiate the love of God. Together, let's invite that divine touch into our hearts and lives.
Let’s take a moment to pray together.
Lord, being live in this vibrant atmosphere is such a gift. Help us to open our hearts, our ears, and our spirits to truly feel Your presence today. Amen.
As we continue, I want to share more about what John G. Lake experienced, how he and his congregation would pray over their newsletters, asking God to fill their words with His Spirit and love. That same Spirit is present here with us now, vibrating within our beings and reaching out to you wherever you are.
Thank you for joining me on this beautiful spring day to celebrate our 200th episode together! Let’s embrace this moment and the incredible journey ahead.

The Spirit of God at work in a man goes thousands of miles beyond psychological influence.” ― John G. Lake, Spiritual Hunger, The God-men and Other Sermons
Photography of the day: Mount Tabor Portland Oregon
History and Service Reservoirs: The City of Portland built the first two reservoirs on Mount Tabor in 1894, and the last two in 1911. The reservoirs were a vital part of Portland's water system for over a century.
Construction timeline
The reservoirs stored drinking water for Portland residents. The water came from the Bull Run watershed, which is located on the western slope of the Cascade Mountain Range.
Current status
The reservoirs are now decommissioned and are on the National Register of Historic Places. They provide a scenic backdrop to the park.
Other notes
The reservoirs were built during a time of economic depression, and provided employment for 1,500 workers
Construction timeline
- 1880s: The volcanic butte of Mount Tabor was identified as a good location for reservoirs because of its elevation
- 1894: Two open-air reservoirs were built on Mount Tabor
- 1911: Two more open-air reservoirs were built
- 2015: The original reservoirs were disconnected from the drinking water system

Substance. Just take a moment to really embrace that beautiful word. Substance is more than just a concept; it’s a tangible presence, something that has mass and energy flowing through it. And guess what? The divine substance, the essence of God, resides within you.
I invite you to pause for a moment. If there's an area of your body that’s calling out for healing, or perhaps there’s a project or a person dear to your heart, grab a photo of them. Place your hand gently on the part of your body that needs attention, or rest your hand softly on that photograph. This connection is powerful; it’s been woven into your fate for ages.
Picture this: angels are dipping into a wellspring of healing energy, ready to pour it over your loved ones. Maybe it’s your spouse, a dear friend, or even a project you’re pouring your heart into. Whether it’s a book you’re writing or financial struggles you’re facing, just place your hand on your pocketbook, and let’s open ourselves up to this incredible flow.
Let’s allow our faith to carry us, letting grace make everything feel effortless as we tap into the substance of God that dwells within us. Feel that energy move through you. If you’re experiencing discomfort in your feet, gently move them. You might notice a warm sensation or a tingling; that’s the healing energy working.
If your back is aching, place your hands there and focus on that word: substance. Remember to draw from the inside out, focusing on the core of your being—your structure, your spine, your hips. Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
And for someone out there, God is reaching out to your ears. This could be for physical healing or perhaps to unlock that idea you’ve been searching for. Maybe it’s the clarity you need for your business or a way to navigate around obstacles that have been blocking your path.
Thank you, God, for the movement of your substance through sound, through frequency—it’s real and it’s tangible. We can feel it.
Hello, everyone! I’m thrilled to share that today marks the recording of my 200th podcast episode—such a celebration! It’s called "Interviewing Jesus." Simple, right? Enjoy the beautiful weather as you take a moment to appreciate this day.
It’s been a true honor to share this space with you, to explore and expand together. Before we wrap up, let me turn my camera around so you can see the stunning park around us, particularly this highest reservoir at Mount Tabor. I’ll include links and more photography in the show notes for you to check out.
As we conclude, I want to extend the collective faith of everyone present—our spirits, the angels, and the cloud of witnesses. Together, we’re moving that divine substance. I sense that many of you are feeling it in your digestive systems and your womanly organs. If that resonates, place your hand there and just breathe.
Inhale, exhale, and reflect on that word: substance. It’s already within you, moving and expanding, dissolving what needs to be let go, and restoring what needs healing.
I bless you in this moment. You and I are living consistently in the embrace of divine love.

Live on Location: Mount Tabor
The reason for the resurrection is that the kingdom of Christ is not to be in heaven entirely. It is to be in this world. And the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is to rule in this world. Consequently, while we live in this world we will need a body like our Lord’s—capable of existence here, and capable of existence over there.”

Mystical Tales @ Christmas |
Yesterday I was stretching the tent, pegs of podcast networking, and I stumbled upon a fellow podcaster (link Below) and someone I follow on Instagram. They discussed how AI, artificial intelligence—I can say that again, artificial intelligence—has benefited and distracted the music and arts community. It's a fascinating episode. I left all the links in the show notes. I'm gonna say that again, because I have built you a wealth of information in the show notes on this episode. The episode that I heard got me thinking, and then later in the afternoon I had babysat my granddaughter all day, and I was having a conversation with my daughter-in-law, keeping up, you know, with technology and thinking about my granddaughter Li's generation. Oh my goodness! So I had to look up—they're called Generation Z, which goes from 1995 to the present. These are babies born from 1995 onward, and when you think about it, they are growing up in a world where the Internet is as essential as air. They are called Generation Z, the high generation, the post-millennial, and these digital natives have never known a world without Google or social media. I know that just blows my mind. They will never know a world without Google or social media. It's fascinating to think of the spiritual, entrepreneurial, and technological possibilities this opens up, isn't it? Just their generation connects to the world—the physical, the digital—so it's us, you and I, to guide them and then learn from them to blend the wisdom of experience along with their tech-savvy insight. It's gonna be a dance, I tell you; we all need to grow together. You might say, what does a little artificial intelligence and AI have to do with you?
Completed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1768, the new palace on the Trianon estate was named the Petit Trianon to distinguish it from the existing Marble Trianon, which then became known as the Grand Trianon. It was here, in April 1774, that Louis XV experienced the first symptoms of smallpox, which would lead to his death a few days later and usher in the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. The new King Louis XVI gave the Petit Trianon as a gift to his wife, who quickly made it her own and ordered an extensive redesign of the external areas. Louis XV's botanical gardens were soon replaced by an Anglo-Oriental garden, which was more in keeping with the fashion of the day and which Marie-Antoinette was constantly adding to and embellishing.

 | God walks “slowly” because He is love. If He is not love, He would have gone much faster. Love has its speed. It is an inner speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It is “slow” yet it is Lord over all other speeds since it is the speed of love. —Kosuke Koyama |
'Love has its speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.' Once we grasp that in Christ God chooses to walk amongst us, it changes our whole understanding of the speed of love, and the speed of theology. In Three Mile an Hour God, renowned Japanese theologian Kosuke Koyama reflects beautifully on a theme lost to western theology and western culture in general – the need for slowness.

What Happened When ‘AI Jesus’ Entered The Confessional
Picture this: you're seeking some spiritual guidance, and you find yourself in a confessional. Only this time, you're not sharing your deepest secrets with a priest, but with 'AI Jesus'. A groundbreaking experiment, as recounted by Forbes, aimed to imbue artificial intelligence with the wisdom and compassion that Jesus is revered for. It's like having a divine Alexa or Siri, ready to offer comfort and advice at a moment's notice.
But this tech-spirituality crossover isn't without its complexities. It's like walking a tightrope - on one side, the potential of AI to provide solace in a click; on the other, the ethical tight spots of bringing machines into our sacred spaces. Can a programmed entity truly offer spiritual counsel? And what does this mean for the human connection that is often so integral to religious practices?
As we navigate these uncharted waters, these questions become our compass, guiding our exploration into the merging of the spiritual and the digital. It's a conversation that's not just about religion, but about the role of technology in our moral and emotional lives. It's about how we can use these tools to not just live, but to live well.
So, the next time you find yourself looking for some divine intervention, remember: the answers might just be a click away. But always remember to ask yourself: How does this fit into my spiritual journey? Is this technology aiding my growth, or just adding noise? As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, let's ensure we're fostering connections that truly enrich us.

AI Jesus, an art installation that Credit: explores technology's role in religion, peeks out from a Peter Diem
Credit Forbes: The work of the devil or an enlightening experiment at the intersection of technology and religion? Not surprisingly, the “AI Jesus” that recently finished a run conversing with visitors in a church confessional booth has been called both.
Aljosa Smolic, one of the technologists behind the avatar, expected as much when he began work on a chatty Jesus powered by artificial intelligence. AI Jesus is now back home with its creators at Switzerland’s Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, where it’s once again plugged in and interacting after completing a stint at Peter’s Chapel in the city’s center earlier this year.
“We were aware that this would provoke very critical voices,” Smolic, director of the the university’s Immersive Realities Research Lab, said in an interview. “The thinking was that AI is out there and the church and religion has to confront the topic.” Read the entire article Credit

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” — Maya Angelou
"Who Depends on You at Your Best?" is a stirring journey into the heart of our shared humanity, casting a spotlight on the profound responsibilities we bear for those around us. It captures the essence of simple keys of relationships that thrive on our best selves: our families, our friends, our colleagues, our own selves, and our wider community.
At the heart of this journey, our families stand as the cornerstone of our lives, seeking our firm presence and wisdom in times of turmoil, and relying on us for both emotional fortitude and economic stability. Our friends, those treasured companions, crave our time and empathy, looking to us for shared joys and shared burdens alike. In the arena of our professional lives, our coworkers lean on our reliability and team spirit, underscoring our pivotal role in the symphony of shared triumphs.
The prose vividly underscores the importance of self-care and personal growth, reminding us of the crucial truth: to lift others up, we must first ensure our own footing. It further magnifies our wider impact on the community, asserting that our individual actions can sow seeds of support and resilience in the world around us.

At the heart of this journey, our families stand as the cornerstone of our lives, seeking our firm presence and wisdom in times of turmoil, and relying on us for both emotional fortitude and economic stability. Our friends, those treasured companions, crave our time and empathy, looking to us for shared joys and shared burdens alike.

Scripture Treasure
Live Consistent with who you really are, inspired by the loving kindness of God. Dear Family, the most practical expression of worship is to make your bodies available to him as a living sacrifice; this pleases him more than any religious routine. He desires to find visible, individual expression in your person. Romans 12 Mirror
What God has in us, is gift wrapped to the world: some are commissioned to pioneer, others are gifted prophetically, some as announcers of good news, some as shepherds with a real gift to care and nurture, and others have a gift to ignite instruction through revelation knowledge. (Couriers, communicators, counsellors and coaches. — Rob Lacey.) Ephesians 4:11 Message

Deeper Points to Ponder
Who Relies on You at Your Best?
In the hustle and bustle of life, we can sometimes forget that our best selves are needed by others. Our family, friends, colleagues, community, and even ourselves, depend on us to show up and shine. Let's explore who is counting on your "A" game, and why it matters.
In the grand scheme of things, showing up with your "A" game isn't just about personal success. It's about being there for those who matter most and the causes you hold dear. Remember, you're not on this journey alone. Reflect on who's counting on you and how you can positively affect their lives. Excellence in all areas of life not only uplifts others but also builds a legacy of integrity and achievement.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. —Nelson Mandela
In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook the impact we have on those around us. Each of us plays a crucial role in the lives of others, from family to friends, colleagues, and the community at large. Understanding who relies on us to bring our best selves to the table can inspire us to strive for excellence not just for our own sake, but for the well-being of those who depend on us. This exploration invites us to reflect on our responsibilities and the importance of showing up fully in every aspect of our lives.

Hey there, friend! Are you struggling to keep the noise of life quiet?
Imagine for a moment you’re trying to tune a radio. If you are on the mature side like me, Remember those old school radios with the dial? You turn it, and it’s all static until, suddenly, a clear voice breaks through. That’s what it’s like to cultivate spiritual hearing—you’re learning to tune in to the frequency of your soul amidst the chaos.
In today’s world, our minds are often bombarded with noise. It’s like trying to have a deep conversation in a bustling coffee shop where the espresso machine never stops whirring.
I give you: Simple - Get Present - tools, fascinating testimonies as a Speaker, Author, Ordained Pastor and friend, to back up Living spiritually brave, and questions that prompt personal growth.
This noise isn’t just external; it’s internal too. Our thoughts chatter away like an endless scroll of social media updates. But what if I told you that beneath all that clamor is a whisper that holds the key to your deepest fulfillment?
and oh by the way, you have tuned into the right channel.
I'll see you on the inside.

What honestly contends with any of us finding daily stillness?
Is the TV constantly on in your home?
When you are alone, does your phone get your attention?
If I asked you to look in your phone settings at screen time, what is your daily average?
According to recent data, the average person spends around 2 hours and 23 minutes on social media daily.
What would you do with an extra 2 hours and 23 minutes a day?
I think we can all agree we can be better stewards of our time, amen.
A few time-blocking hints.
Set a do not disturb schedule on your phone and choose which notifications come through.
Most phones have a downtime selection; limit applications and notifications.

Love can be unconditional … but relational access never should be. — Lysa TerKeurst

Connections with others can be life's sweetest gifts...until they start to sour. —viaK
Imagine love as a vast ocean and relationships as the ships we build to navigate it. Love can be unconditional, like the ocean's horizon, but who we allow on our ships requires careful consideration. Relationships demand construction, maintenance, and sometimes overhaul.
Our episode today reminds us that while love flows freely, we must approach our hearts with intention. I share 5 personal growth tips, along with a heart application.
Trust breaches can feel like stormy seas, but these challenges are opportunities for growth.
Proverbs 4:23 teaches us to guard our hearts, emphasizing that protecting them is about cultivation, not walls. Healing starts with honesty—acknowledge the hurt without blaming, and seek to understand if the relationship is worth mending.
Boundary-setting is non-negotiable; akin to charting a course for safe navigation. Honor your needs and those of others, permitting room for each heart to steer its course unimpeded.
Concentrate on self-belief and personal progress. Love is our gift to offer, but relationships are a shared endeavor, necessitating both transparency and discernment.
Therefore, hoist your sails, shield your heart, and embark on this voyage towards healing. The sea of love is teeming with untold potential, and with a mindfully constructed vessel, you will discover new horizons.

 In moments of conflict, we often point fingers, don't we? It's all too easy to play the blame game. Yet, what if we took a breath, stepped back, and asked ourselves, "What led us here? What habits or actions sparked this situation?" It's not about pardoning the mistake, but about illuminating the path that led to it. It's about turning on our inner detective light, and trading blame for understanding. This shift in perspective, my friend, can make all the difference. It's a step towards clarity, and a stride towards insight. And it's a journey we're on together.  Setting the Rules of Engagement: To sow the seeds of trust again, it's like tending to a delicate plant - you need to set clear sunlight and watering guidelines. It might sound something like, "To help this trust plant flourish, I need transparency in these specific areas," or perhaps, "I need a moment to let the soil settle before we start planting new seeds." It's all about consistent care and attention over time, just like tending to a garden. | Healing is a journey that begins with honesty. It's like walking into an unlit room and turning on the light, seeing everything for what it really is - no sugarcoating, no avoidance. And in that light, we can see our emotions - the hurt, the anger, the confusion. We don't push them away or hide them in a corner, we let ourselves feel them, right down to our core. Because pushing down emotions is like trying to hold a beach ball underwater - it's not only tiring, but the ball will eventually pop back up. Healing is about letting that beach ball float on the surface, acknowledging its presence, and then letting it drift away when we're ready.  Heart-to-Heart Talks: Is the bond worth mending? If it is, grab a cup of coffee, sit down, and start a heartfelt conversation. Your feelings matter. So, let them know how you felt when things went south. Begin with "When this unfolded, it left me with a sting of hurt because..." Exposing your soft spots opens up a world of empathy, a chance for mutual healing, and a path to possible reconciliation.  |
Key: imperative that prayer go before you, otherwise what is behind the negative behavior will not be dethroned, loose the accusation of entitlement,
and the discomfort that God has allowed you to feel...called LOVE
won't move them into a heart change in there life.
and the discomfort that God has allowed you to feel...called LOVE

I say this to my husband Don (professional parts driver)
every morning...
Because level-10 access requires level-10 responsibility.
 | Learning to trust "yourself or others" again is like learning to walk again. It's about setting boundaries for yourself, making choices that resonate with your principles, and taking the time to nurture yourself. Healing is not just about mending a broken relationship - it's about nurturing the seed of resilience within you and allowing it to grow. Rebuilding trust is like repairing a broken vase - it requires patience, effort, and a shared commitment. So, which part of this process do you feel equipped to handle right now? Let's explore that together! |
Only you can decide how to set boundaries for yourself, make choices that resonate with your principles, and taking the time to nurture yourself.
Healing is not just about mending a broken relationship - it's about nurturing the seed of resilience within you and allowing it to grow.
Boundaries are an act of love-both for yourself and others.
They protect your energy, your values, and your ability to show up fully for the relationships that truly matter.
How are you currently balancing that unconditional love with the boundaries needed to guard your heart?

Live consistent with who you really are, inspired by the loving kindness of God.

Hey there, curious souls, I’m honored to introduce Interviewing Jesus Podcast listeners to a remarkable individual, Charif Kaiss, whose life turned challenges into opportunities for growth and service.
Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff, wind whipping around you, heart racing with the thrill of the unknown. That's kind of what Charif faced when he looked cancer in the eye—and won.
You see, it wasn't just about battling a disease. It was about awakening to an inner strength that many of us don't even know we possess. Charif took that experience and transformed it into a foundation dedicated to helping others find their own courage. It's as if he found a hidden well of confidence within him, and he wants to share it with the world.
Awareness is his key. It's like turning on a light in a dark room, allowing you to see things clearly for the first time. Once Charif understood what he was truly up against—not just cancer, but the fear it bred—he could face it head-on. And isn't that something we all need? To strip away the shadows of doubt and see our fears for what they truly are?
By tuning into this awareness, Charif discovered that confidence isn't just about being bold or fearless. It's about understanding and facing your fears, learning from them, and using them as stepping stones to build a life of purpose and resilience.
Each of us has that potential. So, let's walk this path together, embracing our fears and transforming them into fuel for our journey.
Because when you illuminate your awareness,
you ignite your confidence.
It’s truly a journey of Living Spiritually Brave.
I’ll see you on the inside.

Welcome! We are thrilled to have our special guest here today. Thank you so much for inviting me; I’m delighted to be with you. I truly appreciate the positive energy in this space, and I wish the audience could see what I see—it’s incredibly inspiring.
As I gathered information online, I learned that you are an authentic leadership coach, an author, and the founder of a foundation called Crush Cancer. You’re also a cancer survivor and my friend. Could you please introduce yourself to our listeners?
Yesterday, while I was relaxing in the tub, I came across a poster with a quote from Jesus: "I have loved you with an everlasting love." As we embark on this podcast journey, I want to acknowledge that Jesus is the theme that guides our conversation.
Thank you to everyone listening today; I promise it will be inspiring. Over the past three years, I have dedicated my life to finding inspiration and sharing it with others. I often say that while only a few may truly understand me, those who do recognize that some of the best lessons come from pain and suffering. I believe that through mental pain and struggles, we discover what life is really about, and my goal is to inspire others by sharing this journey.
That sums me up in a nutshell, and I look forward to discussing this further today. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Would you share with our listeners? How are you and I connected? We are at different ends of the world; I'm in Oregon, Oregon, Oregon. We were both enrolled in Rob's program. We had the whole session with one of the psychologists who was guiding us throughout the program. At the end of it, they put us on Zoom calls with anonymous people randomly, and I was happy to see this vibrant, beautiful woman behind the screen smiling and saying hello. What's your name? My name is Christian. Where do you come from? What do you want to talk about today? Let's meet, let's discover! We had the whole exercise to do, but we didn't do any of the exercises because we were so busy getting to know each other. That's how inspiring that first encounter was. Most things about spirituality, as I remember, involved all of us and spiritual things. Yes, that was so fun. Things are meant to be, and things are meant to happen. At the time when I met you, I was discovering my self-worth more. I was getting to know Jesus on a deeper level. I was 25 or 26 at the time, and I wanted to know more. And suddenly, I met you. Christian, you were very much into spirituality. You were flying further and further away from me, and it was exactly what I needed to understand what I was looking for. You helped me throughout this journey as well. I'd love to find out more about you since we have this wonderful opportunity.
What is one of your favorite childhood stories? One of my fondest memories dates back to when I was five years old. It was a weekend, and my dad and I went to the mall. As we strolled between the stores, we came across a mega store. This was about 25 years ago, and back then, we didn't have streaming services; instead, there were cassettes. I spotted a beautiful cassette featuring the story of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and I desperately wanted to watch it.
My dad allowed me to wander around the store while he browsed items that caught his interest. When I approached him to ask if he could buy me the cassette, he declined, saying it was too expensive. To be honest, it was around 20 bucks at the time, and I insisted that I had many at home and that they were worthless. I felt so upset, unable to accept that I wouldn't get to enjoy Mickey and Minnie in the comfort of my own home.
So, I devised a plan to convince my dad to buy the cassette. I cleverly hid it under my shirt, feeling like a naughty little boy, and attempted to walk out of the store. I thought that once we got home, I could enjoy the cassette without needing my dad's permission. However, I didn't realize that the store had an alarm system.
As I approached the exit, I noticed a security guard chatting with a nice lady, who didn’t pay attention to me. I thought I could slip out unnoticed. But as soon as I walked past the exit, the alarm began to blare. I turned to see the security guard looking straight at me, and in that moment, I knew I had to run.
I took off, and as I was sprinting, I caught sight of my dad in the distance, wondering where I had gone. Unfortunately, he soon realized what was happening and brought me back to the store. He was embarrassed to discover that his five-year-old son had tried to steal something.
I recently remembered this story and can't help but laugh at how I managed to pull something like that off at such a young age. That was the only time in my life I attempted to steal, and although I didn't succeed, the thought of it still makes me chuckle.

Ceilings are those invisible yet palpable barriers that we often accept as part of our reality, crafted by external influences and societal expectations. They loom over us, whispering doubts and limitations, convincing us that we should stay within the confines of what is deemed acceptable or achievable. But here’s the thing: over time, we start to internalize these ceilings, allowing them to shape our beliefs and dictate our choices. We adapt, yes, but at what cost?
One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others.” —Bell Hooks
Imagine standing in the middle of a grand room, the kind with a floor so polished you can almost see your reflection. That floor is your stabilizing force. It’s what keeps you grounded, providing a safe, comfortable space where you can dream, plan, and grow. But here’s the twist: while it supports you, it also defines the boundaries of your current world.
The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.” —E.E. Cummings

ACT
Let’s explore the profound acronym, ACT: Align, Commit, Transform.
This isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a roadmap for living authentically, inspired by divine love. Picture it as a spiritual GPS guiding you through life’s bustling highways and serene backroads.
Align
First, we align. Think of it like tuning a musical instrument. Just as a guitar needs to be in tune to produce harmonious melodies, we need to align with our true selves and the loving kindness of God.
Imagine waking up each morning and checking in with your internal compass. Are you heading in the direction of your true self, or have you veered off course?
If you find that you are Out of Tune in your attitudes step into His loving kindness,
Have communion with Him and offer that sour note to Him, receive harmony
if you feel unappreciated, talk to God authentically, tell Him how you feel and why.
Spend a few moments in quiet reflection, allowing your heart and mind to align with divine wisdom.
Commit Compassion
Next, we commit. This is where the journey begins. Have you ever planted a seed and watched it grow? It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes consistent care and nurturing. Similarly, living a life that reflects who you truly are requires commitment.
Commit to showing up every day, not just when it’s convenient or easy.
Commit to being a living sacrifice, offering your thoughts, actions, and decisions to a His purpose in you.
This is the essence of true worship—beyond rituals and routines.
Transform
Finally, we transform. Imagine a caterpillar’s journey to becoming a butterfly.
It’s a process that involves patience, struggle, and ultimately, a beautiful transformation. When you align with your true self and commit wholeheartedly, transformation is inevitable.
Your life becomes a canvas where divine expression is painted vividly through your actions and choices.
You become an embodiment of love, joy, and peace, radiating these qualities into the world.

I'm Kristen Wambach
I'm all grown up (I think?) Along my journey of searching for answers, I found them. I went from spiritual blindness to OMG! With a driving niche as an entrepreneur. I love hanging out with our four sons, riding with my husband on his Harley, and creating all things hospitality. My mission? To help others see "beyond" and own their awesomeness within!
