E188 | Susan Carson | Safe Enough to Heal: Why the Church Gets Trauma Wrong and What to Do Instead
Welcome to the Face to Face podcast and episode 188 with spiritual director and author Susan Carson. Susan tells her story of meeting Jesus at 18, later experiencing spiritual trauma, and moving into a contemplative path of prayer and inner healing. We talk about how neuroscience, Christian mystics (especially Julian of Norwich), and the biblical idea of kenosis (Philippians 2) come together in her "safe space" approach—noise-free, shame-free, and formula-free—focused on embodied, face-to-face connection. We discuss how church environments can be unsafe and harmful, why healing is low-and-slow rather than a quick fix, what it cost Susan relationally (including LGBTQIA+ convictions), and her new book releasing May 5, with more at susancarson.net.

E186 | Paul Young | Embracing Uncertainty: Finding Truth in the Unknowing - Part 2
Paul Young (Part 2) on Prayer as Relationship, 12-Step Community, Healing vs Curing, and Return to the Shack In episode 186 (Part 2) of the Face to Face Podcast, we continue our conversation with Paul Young, discussing prayer as ongoing conversation within relationship and how spiritual practices can help but often need community to endure. We talk about honesty without fixing, and how close relationships expose areas needing healing. The conversation explores reclaiming inner wisdom, resisting church-driven codependency, and transformation from the inside out. Paul shares updates on Return to the Shack: A Journey into Redemption (releasing October 6, with a special Shack hardback including three sequel chapters) and a large-scale Shack stage musical in Germany planned for spring 2029. He also addresses living with epilepsy, seeking healing rather than curing, and using "unrighteous wealth" (platform/notoriety) shrewdly for the kingdom. 01:22 Trauma Course Plug 01:52 What Prayer Looks Like 03:43 Spiritual Practices Reframed 05:17 Bradley and AA Community 10:09 Why Community Heals 14:07 CODA and Not Fixing 17:21 Codependency and Self Trust 20:20 Poem on Voice and Boundaries 21:35 Sequel Release Plans 22:28 Musical Adaptation Update 25:10 Casting Connection Offer 25:51 Creative Process Reflections 27:06 Health and Epilepsy Journey 30:57 Unrighteous Wealth Parable 33:42 Using Platform for Kingdom 40:07 Revival and Union Talk 41:35 Podcast Farewell and Outro
E185 | Paul Young | Embracing Uncertainty: Finding Truth in the Unknowing - Part 1 We are excited to welcome back one of our favorites - Paul Young (author of The Shack) for part one of a two-episode conversation, while also sharing updates on Immanuel Approach for Life Level 1 and 2 cohorts and a Wheaton College research team studying the model's efficacy. Paul reflects on the necessity of "unknowing" as humility and openness, contrasting intellectual belief with whole-person trust and relational knowing. The discussion explores trauma and religious performance as obstacles to embodying God's goodness, emphasizing awareness of an always-present union/non-separation with God rather than earning it. Paul critiques fear-based theology and transactional faith, reframes Hebrews 11's "substance" as Jesus, and offers a practical way to interrupt panic and future-tripping by asking, "What do I know is true right now?" 00:35 Training Cohorts Update 01:15 Research Study Spotlight 01:30 Introducing Paul Young 02:21 Cloud of Unknowing 02:46 Letting Go of Certainty 05:06 Trust Beyond Head Knowledge 12:09 Union Versus Awareness 13:44 Unconditional Father Love 20:06 Trauma Shapes Theology 23:24 Gods Character Questioned 25:45 Knowing Versus Believing 31:32 Removing Barriers to Love 31:55 Untangling Dark Religion 33:44 Grief Without Losing Trust 35:33 Separation Distorts Faith 36:59 Hospital Story Faith Shame 41:31 Hebrews 11 Jesus Substance 45:03 Union Mystics And Indwelling 50:08 Eden God Never Turns Away 53:17 Agency Submission Not Control 55:04 Fear Love And Inner Work 58:41 Present Tense Stops Panic 01:00:11 Closing Thanks And Outro
Episode 184: Dr. Bob Schuchts on Healing the Whole Person, Spiritual Formation, and Bridging Catholic–Protestant Divides
On Episode 184 of the Face to Face Podcast, we welcome Dr. Bob Schuchts, founder of the John Paul II Healing Center, to discuss healing ministry from a Catholic perspective and its overlap with the Immanuel Approach. Dr. Schuchts shares his background as a longtime therapist, a pivotal spiritual encounter that led him to study many prayer modalities, and his current work offering healing and training conferences that emphasize safety, surrender to the Holy Spirit, abiding, discerning inner movements, addressing barriers, and practicing prayer ministry.
The conversation explores healing as an ongoing encounter with God's love and truth that brings wholeness and communion, the link between healing prayer and spiritual formation, the "seven deadly wounds," and how sacraments and interdenominational bridge-building relate to unity and integrity in the body of Christ.

Wayne Jacobson on Experiencing God's Love, Presence, and Freedom Beyond Performance | Face to Face Podcast Ep. 183
In this episode of the Face to Face Podcast, we interview author and former pastor Wayne Jacobson about moving from a transactional, performance-based faith to an experiential life rooted in God's affection, presence, and fullness. Wayne shares his background, ministry disillusionment, repeated experiences of betrayal, and how God's presence slowly meets people in pain and trauma.
He explains how a curative (not punitive) view of the atonement reshaped his view of the Father, argues that transformation comes through relational engagement with God rather than information alone, and critiques Christianity as a sin- or shame-management system. He discusses community as a gift cultivated through hospitality and friendship, points listeners to his book He Loves Me and his websites, and closes by praying for listeners to relax into the "unforced rhythms of grace."

Brian Zahnd on Christian Nationalism, the Kingdom of Jesus, and a More Beautiful Christianity | Face to Face Podcast Ep. 182 In episode 182 of the podcast, Melinda interviews pastor, author, and theologian Brian Zahnd (Word of Life Church, St. Joseph, Missouri), while co-host Cathy is absent due to losing her voice and shares updates on Immanuel Institute trainings and the standalone Understanding Trauma Course. Zahnd recounts leading one congregation for 44 years, the church's early rapid growth, and a major theological recalibration that moved them toward the Christian tradition and away from politicized rezligion—costing them about 1,500 people between roughly 2004–2014—followed by healing on a 40-day Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in 2016. The conversation contrasts the kingdom of Jesus with Christian nationalism, critiques reducing "Christian" to an adjective serving political agendas, and emphasizes that discipleship requires allegiance to Christ over nation while maintaining a church culture marked by kindness amid political differences. Zahnd centers his theology on "God is like Jesus," argues Jesus reveals God as Savior rather than saving us from God, commends the historic creeds as generous guardrails, and discusses leaning into the "beautiful" as cruciform Christianity, along with his books and an upcoming release, The Unseen Realm (May 19). 02:08 Meet Brian Zahnd: Pastor, Author, Pilgrim

"Faith is not intellectual. It is experiential. It is Transformational - not Transactional."
"God showed up? No - YOU showed up. He is already here!"
“You can’t give away what you don’t have. I was giving away fear, shame, doubt, unworthiness, feeling alone, powerless - these were false identities. If you can say “I am” in front of it, it’s an identity."
"Jesus came to usher in the Kingdom of God, not create Christianity."
These are just a few of the gems from our guest, Donna Winship, who with her husband, Jamie, founded Identity Exchange. They are committed to "helping unlock the transformative power of knowing your true identity."
This conversation is rich with personal story and revelation that is bringing freedom and healing to many as they step into who they truly are, and understand more of who God is and how he feels about them.

"When you have separation at the foundation of your theology, then retribution is part of your paradigm."
"A God who looks away will create sons and daughters that can justify looking away. And a God who punishes will create leaders who are justified in punishing - and it's going to create bullies."
"You can't flip a table (referencing Jesus in the Temple) if you're not willing to lay your life down for the person on the other side of the table. This is what we are missing. It becomes 'us' and 'them.' But, Jesus died for the person on the other side of the table."
Welcome back for Part 2 of our paradigm shifting conversation with author and relational theologian, Jason Clark. We are exploring some things in this conversation that may potentiall bother you, but they may also resonate deeply with you. Our invitation is to ask Jesus for yourself. It is safe to ask questions. At the end of the day, let greater love be your compass.

Desparation (being 'desparate' for God) is often considered a high water mark for Christendom. But as Jason quotes speaker and author, Graham Cooke, "A relationship where the son is always desparate for the father is dysfunctional."
We're going deep with our friend, Jason Clark, whom you may remember from Episode 105 in our podcast. Jason will shake your theology in a good way as he challenges us to explore what it means live out of our union with God. The invitation is yours to step into the great freedom that comes from realizing that God never leaves. He is always with us. He is continually reconciling all things to himself. We may not always be aware, but we are invited to awaken.
Plus, we've all probably looked at the Parable of the Sower through the lens of wanting to be good soil... but what if it's more about the sower and the seed? Hang on for a paradigm shift!

"If you want to learn something, watch someone do what you want to learn. As you watch. your brain will begin downloading and copying, changing like the person who is demonstrating. You will start demonstrating the skill simply by watching.

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.

"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."

"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.

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.

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.”
