Exploring Anxiety - with Dr. Russel Kennedy

Dr. Kennedy was trained as a physician and neuroscientist, but found the medical field's answers to anxiety lacking. So he left and developed his own program using meditation and somatic techniques to reach the root of the problem. He also published and sold over 59,000 copies of his book "Anxiety RX." Dr. Kennedy joins me to talk about topics such as what anxiety is, how trauma is related, and how modern society contributes to our growing problem with anxiety.

The Fulfillment of Purpose - Guest episode by Jr Limas & Matt Ridilla

My friend Jr who I had on the podcast a while back shared this radio message with me and I thought it had a lot of wise gems so I decided to share it here as well. In two weeks I will publish another episode of mine. The description of the episode is: 
 
Purpose isn’t something you FIND. Instead, it is something you should seek to better UNDERSTAND. The more we understand purpose, the more becomes a way of life. It all begins with a willingness to embrace a selfless mentality.

Mental Illness, DSM, and pathology - with Dr. April Staples

Identity, Baptism, and Christ Consciousness - with Brandy Anderson

In this episode I finally talk in depth about the meaning behind the name of the podcast "becoming who we are." I talk about my thought process behind some of the things I believe theologically, but recognize that understanding is a journey and in no way do I have everything figured out. Most importantly, I talk about what these beliefs mean to me practically and how they've helped me grow.
