Season 2 Episode 1 : 'Deliverance' with Jon Thompson
Are some of your problems actually Spiritual Problems? I had the most fascinating and thought provoking conversation with Pastor and Author Jon Thompson. Many of us say we believe the Bible, but when it comes to stories of demons and dark spiritual forces we aren’t so sure anymore. What if Spiritual Warfare wasn’t just an old pentecostal term? What if demons weren’t just undiagnosed mental illness? What if you and I were living in the middle of this spiritual conflict every day? In this deep dive podcast we talked about how to tell spiritual problems from physical or relational ones. We discussed how God calls us to close doors we’ve left open for the enemy to harass us, and Jon told some incredible real life stories of interacting with the spiritual world and finding freedom from it. If you’re curious whether some of your problems right now have a spiritual root, this conversation is for you. The question I kept asking afterwards was: “If Jesus believed in demons, why don’t we?”John is the Pastor of multi-site Sanctus Church in the GTA and author of the book 'Deliverance."

What its Really Like to be Single in the Church...
The stats are scary. The single largest demographic leaving the church is single females...

As a single herself, she's experienced it all... You'll find out that some of the phrases we use end up doing way more harm than good. Our conversation is a real eye opener if you are married, dating, or single and want to understand this uniquely gifted group of people in our church, and make a home for them that genuinely meets them where they are at!

The Truth About Marriage, Therapy, & How God Restores Broken Things (With Andrea Shepherd)
On Social Media everyone looks perfect. Especially relationships. But the truth is, most people are faking it until they (hopefully) make it. In reality, many of our relationships are deeply in need of help, but no one is brave enough to ask... except my friend Andrea Shepherd. She has an amazing story of a marriage on the rocks, how therapy transformed their relationship, and how God restored two people who loved each other but didn't know how to make it work. In this episode you'll hear an incredible, honest, authentic, and transparent story of what really happens behind closed doors, and how she found the tools she and her husband needed to rescue their marriage. You'll learn all about the fear cycle, why it is what's feuling most of your fights, and how to break free!
