"When it comes to improving mental and emotional health: What if you could make it more efficient? What if you could make it more gentle? What if you could make it consistently and predictably more effective?" Join us for another conversation with our mentor, Dr. Karl Lehman MD, founder of The Immanuel Approach, as we take a look at this model from a much bigger perspective. The Immanuel Approach is not just about inner healing. That is simply one item on the buffet. It's also about spiritual formation, true discipleship, developing greater discernment, receiving comfort directly from Jesus, learning how to interact with and process things with Jesus, and practice more powerful intercession. It's about friendship with Jesus and becoming more like him. If you have experienced a life-changing encounter with the living presence of Jesus, Dr. Karl also shares with you how you can help get the word out. For more conversations with Dr. Karl, see Episodes 13, 14, & 93. Learn more about The Immanuel Approach at immanuelapproach.com and on our website, facetofaceministries.org.

What does Jesus mean when he says that we are to love others as we have been loved? And how can we even do that if we have not first truly experienced "being loved" by Jesus? Our guests in this episode have focused their ministry on helping people understand what it means to be truly loved. Dr. Mark Fee is the son of theologian, Gordon Fee, and sister of one of our recent guests, Dr. Cherith Nordling. You're going to enjoy meeting him and his ministry partner, Rachel - who has a profound healing story of her own.  Find out more at firstlovedministries.org

"So many people have allowed trauma to become the primary narrative of their life. It’s how they get attention. It’s how they feel about their lives. It’s important that we help them step out of that identity and step into the identity of who they really are in Christ and walking the dream of God for their life." Our guest today, Dr. Mike Hutchings, is the Director of Education for Global Awakening. He is also the Founder of the God Heals PSTD Foundation which equips churches to minister healing to those who suffer from PTSD from the wounds of war and life. We hope you enjoy this episode, and our opening bumper - which was literally recorded "from the road" between 2 trainings out west. It includes a now humorous "could-have-been-a-catastrophy" personal story involving a couple of moose.

"I could let him be God for me, but couldn’t let him be human for me." "Where the image of God is, there is the presence of God. The presence of God was meant to rest in human beings." What does it mean to be human? What is the significance of Jesus, the Son of God, entering humanity? What is a "breathing ceremony" in the context of the image and likeness of a King? What does the Creation narrative tell us? And, "What is mankind that you are mindful of them?" (Psalm 8) Explore some deep waters with us in the continuation of our conversation with theologian and professor, Cherith Nordling. Your eyes will be opened to profound truths as she unpacks the beauty of our humanity and the image of God that we all carry. If you're enjoying this podcast, we'd love for you to let your friends know. This conversation is way too good to keep to yourself. 👍  

"There is never a minute that God does not see us with him. I move through the world as a finished daughter of the Most High. God has so much compassion for me because I don’t know that yet." Our conversation with Dr. Cherith Nordling, PhD, will draw you in to the beauty of what it means to be human. You will come to love this teacher and mentor in theological education and formation who is also skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Pastoral Counseling, Leadership, and Preaching. Strong professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Theology from University of St. Andrews. With all of those credentials, you might be surprised to find her also very accessible and real. Our conversation grew as we continued to talk and we realized quickly that this would be only part 1 of our conversation. Part 2 is coming very soon where we talk more about learning how to be a human from the Son of God. 

Join us for a powerful, Kingdom conversation with our new friend, Arun Bulchandani, as we explore the importance of caring for our physical bodies, understanding how creation fits in, and learning what it means to experience oneness with Christ.  Connect with Arun: Web: unionflow.com Instagram: @abulchandani Facebook: @unionflowco

We are very excited to introduce you to Leif Hetland, who is the founder and Director of Global Missions Awareness, and the author of several books, including his latest, The Love Awakening. This man is full of joy and he shares it wherever he goes. We have some great conversations about Gen Z, and what God is doing among that generation right now, and also about experiencing and sharing the love of Jesus with others. We also find out something very encouraging from him about our book, Streams of Healing, which you can order on Amazon right now. Find out more about Leif and his resources at leifhetland.com

God is moving in sweet and powerful ways among Gen Z right now. No matter what you want to call it, something is definitely happening and it is sweetly and powerfully impacting that generation and more on college campuses such as Asbury, and even in some churches across the country. Many students are connecting with the love of God in ways they never imagined. We have some important thoughts on this that may help give you more context for what we do and why we do it. We talk about it in the first 10 minutes of our show today. We hope you'll stick around for that before we head into our conversation with Trisha Frost. The connection here is that Trisha's story is one of how an encounter with the love of God literally changed her family - and it happened at another outpouring of God's love in the early 90's at a church in Toronto.  Learn more about Trisha Frost and Shiloh Place Ministries at shilohplace.org.

We're back to finish up our deep and intriguing conversation with our friend, Brian Orme.

Buckle up - this one will make you think.  For more info about Brian, check out his website, www.iborme.com

Our conversation with Toni Daniels continues this week as we dive more deeply into something that everyone wants to be part of, and we all need, but have a hard time finding. We're talking about community, and about the mission of Luke 10 "to see a vibrant family of Jesus within reach of every person on the planet." If you have not already done so, please listen to Part 1. This was an amazing conversation you do not want to miss. Learn more at lk10.com 

We're back with another fun and powerful conversation. This week, meet our friend, Toni Daniels. Toni is the director of training with Lk10, an organization dedicated to seeing a vibrant family of Jesus within reach of every person on the planet. We all want, and need, to belong, but we're not always good at knowing how to find or create a place of belonging. The Church hasn't quite figured it out yet either. Lk10 is answering the need through training and equipping leaders to create true community. Be sure not to miss Part 2 in our next episode. For more info, check out Lk10.com.

In the conclusion of this powerful conversation with Joshua Hoffert, we explore what it means to be contempletive, the importance of self care, and learning to experience God in the mundane. “We do a disservice to the desire God has to dwell in our hearts by constantly desiring some external experience. God longs to dwell in you. He sent his Spirit to dwell in your heart so he could talk with you. If you just exist from high point to high point you’re never going to know his actual heart.” https://www.windministries.ca/

You're going to be fascinated and educated by this conversation with this week's guest, Joshua Hoffert. We're talking about the Desert Fathers and Mothers. Who are they and what do they represent? We're also demystifying what it means to be a mystic. "God is a mystery and requires you to let go of your need to control in order to know and understand - in order to heart know him - not just mind know him.  This is a mystic." https://www.windministries.ca/

While on our Sabbatical, we are bringing you something special this week - an opportunity for you to pause and connect with Immanuel. Take a deep breath, lean back and engage with Jesus as our co-host, Melinda, leads you in an Immanuel Moment. 

We're back with the conclusion of our conversation with Neurotheologian, Dr. Jim Wilder. He's tackling a big and necessary topic: Narcissism. If you missed Part 1, please go back to Episode 119 and catch it. This is good stuff!! You won't want to miss a minute. lifemodelworks.org
