    Episode 196: Stephanie Rousselle- Awaken Delight
    Sep 15 2026
    To “delight” in something or someone is to experience deep joy or to turn toward something with great affection and priority. But what does it mean to delight in God and why does it matter for our faith, for our lives? Those are the questions we tackle in today’s episode with Stephanie Rousselle, a French-born Bible teacher, speaker, host of the Gospel Spice podcast, and founder of Gospel Spice Ministries.

    In our time together, Stephanie shares how delight is central to the life of faith, how beauty and delight are deeply connected, how we might remain open to delight amidst life struggles, and what moved her to convert to Christianity from atheism in her late teenage years.

    If you’ve perhaps lost your delight in God, never really experienced it in the first place, or are experiencing a season of discouragement, this episode is for you.

    Episode 195: Dr. Liz Hall-Can Suffering Lead to Flourishing?
    Sep 1 2026
    Dr. Elizabeth or Liz Hall is Professor of Psychology at Rosemead School of Psychology, Biola University in La Mirada, California, where she researches and teaches at the intersection of suffering, meaning-making, and Christian spirituality. For over 30 years she has been exploring how faith and psychology can work together to help people flourish—especially amid suffering. She also coauthored Relational Spirituality with her husband, Todd, and has published over 150 academic works.

    In my time with Dr. Hall, we discuss her most recent book, entitled When the Journey Hurts: Finding Meaning in Suffering for Heart, Mind, and Soul. In her book, and in our time together, she shares about her own personal experience with breast cancer and her learnings from her extensive research on suffering. Specifically, she discusses how suffering can lead to flourishing, how she holds on to God’s goodness and beauty amidst life’s difficulties, and how suffering can open us up to God’s presence. Truth be told, I was surprised to come away from this conversation on suffering feeling inspired and hopeful. I deeply hope it does the same for you.

    Episode 194: Lisa Diers RDN, LD, E-RYT-Is Diet Culture Disconnecting You from Your Body?
    Aug 17 2026
    Diet and wellness culture have a way of disconnecting us from our bodies and a life-giving relationship with food. Thankfully, professionals like Lisa Diers are working to help people heal their relationship with their bodies and with food.

    Lisa Diers is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified yoga teacher who specializes in supporting eating disorder and body image recovery. Lisa has a combined over 20 years of experience in nutrition and yoga services and previously served as the National Nutrition and Yoga Director for a large national eating disorder treatment program.

    In my time with Lisa, we discuss current lies associated with diet culture, how nutrition therapy and yoga can bring about reconnection with food and our bodies, and more about the Soul-Deep Beauty Retreat at Hinshon Farms on October 3rd. In a world where messages around food and our bodies can bring about confusion and disconnection, my hope is that this episode and the upcoming Soul-Deep Beauty Retreat might bring about grounding and reconnection. I can’t wait for you to listen.
