And The Church Said...: Recent Episodes
Dr. Monique Smith Gadson
This podcast will discuss issues for individuals and churches from a Christian Counseling perspective.
Happy Sunday!
Dr. Mo briefly reviews our VBS "Valiantly Becoming Self" - series and discusses how God called her to a season (which is still ongoing) of solo recording for the podcast without guests.
Dr. Mo shares how God revealed to her that she was more focused on validation than obedience when she invited guests to the podcast. The obedience to solo podcasting was to form her into the purposes God has for her and that required going a direction that personally felt vulnerable and difficult.
Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo talks about how in Exodus 2:15 Moses fled from his difficult past to the desert and after "a long time", he has an encounter with God that will call him back to the place from which he fled. How might God be calling us to place to "rise to life", KNOWING the power of Resurrection, especially when called to places we have left?

Happy Friday!
Dr. Mo opens the doors of the church this week for the summer series VBS! This time, VBS is not for Vacation Bible School, rather it stands for "Valiantly Becoming Self"
Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". Today, on our last night of VBS, we talk about Dr. Aimee's advice to us about shifting the way we speak to ourselves and learning to stay in the present moment.
Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo will give tips on how to continue to practice living in expansion and toward expansion. We have to think about it as practicing a new instrument. We have to practice our new skills and insights when we reach the expansion phase, as we practice "rising to life". We can KNOW the power of Resurrection.

Happy Pentecost Sunday!
This series "It is Finished" is finished!
Dr. Mo wraps this series by discussing how the power of the Holy Spirit rests upon us as it did back on the day of Pentecost. She continues to meditate on Philippians 3:10 and John 19:30. and Acts 1:4-5.
Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". As we develop the capacities to expand our psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, we get to experience the power to rise to life. Dr. Aimee teaches us that we experience more self-awareness, greater capacities, and a better view of possibilities for the future.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how we can rise to life by asking ourselves what holds us back as Dr. Mo did concerning her hesitation to do the podcast. We have permission to ask ourselves what makes us come alive and to experience Resurrection power in our lives until we too are caught up to meet Him in the air!

Happy Sunday!
Dr. Mo thought this series "It is Finished" was finished. Yet, it was not. As she waited on the Lord to reveal to her where she had a "spiritual pause", the Holy Spirit did guide with additional insights.
She continues to meditate on Philippians 3:10 and John 19:30. For today's episode, we read Acts 1:4-5 as we think of the Ascension of Jesus. Dr. Mo expounds on how Jesus instructed the disciples to wait for the Father's promise. She discusses how we have opportunities to know the power of Resurrection within us and yet there are times along the journey, we must still wait for God's promise.
Tune in to this episode as we think about having to be patient with the process of finishing trauma responses in our bodies. Dr. Aimee, author of the "Biology of Trauma" reminds us we must pace ourselves through the process of completing trauma responses in our bodies. It will not work the same for everyone. And for some, it might not work at all. What do we do in and with the wait? Might it be an invitation of the Holy Spirit to expand our psychological, emotional, and spiritual capacities?

Happy Sunday!
Dr. Mo thinks this series "It is Finished" is finished. However, stay tuned.
She discusses Philippians 3:10 and adds to the focus John 19:30 for today’s episode. She focuses on the three infamous words uttered by Jesus “it is finished.” Dr. Mo links this saying of Jesus back to the neuroscience and Philippians 3:10 as she thinks about how our bodies must finish the trauma response when it is started.
Dr. Mo discusses how our bodies are already created with the universal response needed to bring them to safety and growth after trauma experiences. We continue to delve into the data from Dr. Aimee's book "The Biology of Trauma", as we walk through the essential sequence needed to begin the healing work: safety, support, and expansion.
Today, we dive into the expansion component of the essential sequence. Expansion must not be rushed. It is not an intellectual exercise. It is experiential. It must be consistent. It must not be entered into until regulation and stability is firmly established.
Tune into this episode as we discuss how to think about the ways God invites us into knowing the power of His Resurrection. How do we think about God’s invitation to rise to life by moving from surviving to living and declaring along with Jesus, “IT IS FINISHED”?

Dr. Mo discusses how our bodies are already created with the universal response needed to bring them to safety and growth after trauma experiences. The body has to go THROUGH the trauma response and FINISH the sequence. If not, trauma remains stuck in our bodies. Our bodies are already equipped to rise to life and God promises that we can know His power.
Tune in to this episode as we think about God’s invitation to rise to life and to know His power to finish the trauma responses that have been started in some of us. God might be inviting us to also say “IT IS FINISHED”!

Happy Resurrection Day!
Dr. Mo continues to expound upon Philippians 3:10. She focuses on the 2nd part of that verse by pondering what does it mean for us to know the power of resurrection. How do we move from understanding the close association with Jesus and suffering to knowing the power of rising to life? Especially when we have suffered betrayal, bruising, and beatings, both psychologically and physically.
Tune in to this episode as we think about God’s invitation to rise to life and to know His power after we have experienced traumas and sufferings in our lives.

Happy Sunday!
On this last Sunday in March, Palm Sunday, we are culminating our anniversary celebration of six years of the “And The Church Said” podcast!
Dr. Mo has been celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo’s hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear and how she has come to understand her close association with the sufferings of Jesus.
Dr. Mo reads from Philippians 3:10 and Luke 22:39-46. She discusses when we anticipate doing the will of God we can experience anxiety and anguish. Especially when we are doing really difficult things. Just like Jesus as He prepared to go to the Cross.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how God might be inviting us into fellowship with Him through our sufferings.

We are still celebrating six years of the “And The Church Said” podcast! 🎉🎉
Dr. Mo is celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo’s hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear.
Dr. Mo reads from Exodus 3:6-12 and compares her journey with Moses as they both question God by asking “who am I”. She quotes Dr. Aimie Apigian in her book the “Biology of Trauma” as she explains how our fears and past traumas can cause us to not feel adequate to do the work of God. Dr. Aimee states “emotional pain that feels unbearable is processed as an inescapable life threat. Social rejection and shame can exceed our capacity just as quickly as the physical dangers of an oncoming car.”
Tune in to this episode as we think about how God called Moses back to himself, back to God, and back to the place where he fled because of traumatic life experiences. During this season of Lent, think about how God might be inviting you in ways that seem confusing but are possibly redeeming.

We are back in 2026 finally! Happy 6th Birthday to the “And The Church Said” podcast! 🎉🎉
Dr. Mo is celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we are reflecting on where we have come from last year to this year regarding the podcast.
Dr. Mo reads from Exodus 3:11-14 and compares her journey with Moses as they both question God by asking “who am I”. God answers both Moses and Dr. Mo with a resounding response “I AM WHO I AM”!
Tune in to this episode as we thank God for His grace, His healing, and His deliverance as we learn some of the reasons we do not follow through on what God asks of us to do. Learn how God might use ways that we would not choose to “thaw” us from our “functional freezes”.

As we are in our birthday month, we are rebroadcasting this episode that originally aired on March 9, 2025 In this episode, Dr. Mo celebrated five years of the podcast!
Dr. Mo reflected on five years of podcasting and understood that worship is an act of obedience. We read Genesis 22:5 where Abraham took his son, Isaac, to be sacrificed. It was the first time in the Scriptures the word “worship” is used.
Dr. Mo confessed she failed to execute all God showed and instructed her concerning the podcast. She talked about continuing the work wholeheartedly as an act of worship, that is, obedience unto God. Which included fully executing the vision God has given her concerning the podcast.
Tune in to this episode as we thank God for gracing us for five years of “And The Church Said”!

We are rebroadcasting another episode that originally aired January 2025. As we are settling into this year of 2026, some may have already dropped off of their new year goals.
In this episode, we continue to read Genesis 1 with a focus on verse 3. We are thinking of how God might be inviting us to create and exercise an authority using the words “let there be”.
Tune into this episode as we contemplate an invitation to create and establish while considering what is required of us to implement, maintain, and protect those creations from sabotage.

Happy 2026!
We are back, somewhat! Today, we are rebroadcasting an episode that aired in January 2025. We hope you find this content still useful as we are 6 weeks into this next year of 2026.
We are planning to bring new content to you soon! In the meantime, take a listen as we study Genesis 1:1-3 and ponder if God is inviting the creative parts of ourselves to create in the emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, or some combination of all of these - places that might feel empty, dark, or without form.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society. This episode discusses the last two consequences, rupturing relationships and scapegoating, of breaching the limitations God gives us. We focus on what’s happening in society in Genesis 3:7-13.
Tune into this episode as we discuss how rupturing and blaming contribute to regression in societal emotional processes. Instead of trusting in the grace of God, we find ourselves blaming others as a way to avoid personal responsibility when we have been found guilty of rupturing relationships. How might we deny ourselves and practice the discipline of self-denial as a way of healing society of its regressive condition?

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society. This episode discusses hiding and what could be happening in Genesis 3:7-10 between Adam and Eve. And also, between God and them.
We still hold in our minds Leviticus 23:26-29 concerning the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We consider how self indulging versus self-denial contributes to the regressive state of society.
Tune into this episode as we discuss how hiding contribute to regression in societal emotional processes. We fear condemnation due to our differences and poor decision making instead of being met with grace. Maybe if we can practice self-denial and choose grace toward ourselves and others when we recognize our differences and realize we have done things we knew we were not supposed to do, perhaps we can push back on some of the regression in society.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society.
We delve further into Leviticus 23:26-29 about the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We define key terms and concepts to understand what is to happen during the Day of Atonement from the original language.
Tune into this episode as we also look at Genesis 2:15-17 to understand what happened when society was first established by God Himself. We see that while God gave Adam free access, He also established limitations.
Do we identify limitations? Do we acknowledge limitations? How might God be inviting us to heal the society in regression by recognizing limitations and exercising them?

Happy Sunday!
We are back after a break from recording. In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses new revelations and insights from the Holy Spirit during this brief hiatus. She shares reflections during the observance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Some of these reflections include thinking more about how psychology and theology intersect especially toward the healing of our society. Also, Dr. Mo introduces the concept of societal emotional process and how we understand that our society is in a regressive state. She helps us to identify some of the characteristics of a regressive society.
Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo reads from Leviticus 23:26-29 about the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We will start thinking about our individual and collective responsibility to rebuilding our society and healing the land.

Happy Sunday!
We are rebroadcasting an episode focusing on our college ministry series. This episode was broadcast in August 2024 as we were and are in the middle of the college school year starting again.
In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses the psychology of adjustment and how we can equip college students to most optimally cope with and manage the demands and challenges of this new life.
Introspection is needed for all of us to assess the types of behaviors we need to adjust in life, and to determine if these behaviors are helpful or not. And especially for our college students as they are adjusting to this new chapter in their lives.
Tune in to this episode featuring our ministry to college students as we seek to assist them with adjusting in ways that are beneficial and healthy.

Happy Summer!
We are back with a rebroadcast as our college ministry series will kick off again!
This is an episode that first aired last year as we are in the middle of college students leaving for college either for the first time or as returning students. God is doing a new thing in your lives. College is a time where students are exposed to many newfound freedoms.
Our hope and prayer is that students will pause and consider that these freedoms might be permissible yet, not necessarily beneficial.
Tune in to hear this episode featuring our ministry to college students!

Happy Father’s Day!
In this episode, Dr. Mo concludes the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today we focus again on the passage from John 21:20-22 and highlight Jesus’s instruction to Peter and invitation to us.
Jesus reminded Peter that Peter needed to attend to his relationship with Jesus and not be distracted with the plans for the other disciples. Jesus instructed Peter to not worry about other issues and to “follow Him”. Jesus instructed and invited Peter to follow Him after Peter had rejected, abandoned, betrayed, and denied Him.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus invites us to follow Him when we have been betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or denied. He invites us into the redemption that He purchased for us during the Crucifixion. Also, for those of us who have betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or denied others - He invites us also into a redemptive state. Redemption is ours!

Happy Pentecost!
In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today we focus a bit further on the conversation between Jesus and Peter. We read from John 21:20-22 and focus on another portion of their conversation.
Sometimes when there is tension in our relationships or we hear uncomfortable or difficult things in conversations; we can find ourselves questioning “well, what about this person or that person?” We might entangle another person into the conversation to ease our discomfort or to project our difficulties on someone else.
Peter did this as he continued to engage in a conversation with Jesus. Jesus quickly and bluntly asked Peter “what’s that to you?” Jesus reminded Peter that the hard conversation they were having toward reconciliation was just between the two of them.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus invites us to stay focused on our relationship with Him. He reminds us to do what He has asked us to do despite our questions concerning others.

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today’s focus is when we find ourselves engaging in the difficult work of reconciliation and there is frustration and grief from the perpetrator.
We are discussing and thinking about practical ways to participate in the work of reconciliation. Dr. Mo reads from John 21:15-17 as we focus on this interaction between Jesus and Peter. Ironically, this is the third time that Jesus appears to the disciples following the Resurrection. And here we see Jesus asking Peter three times if Peter really loves Him. Theologians suggest that Jesus asked this question three times as a way to redeem Peter. One time for each of the three denials of Jesus.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting perpetrators of betrayal to engage in reconciliation especially when one might be grieved at the duration of the process and the repeated interrogations.

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today’s focus is when we find ourselves as the victims of betrayal trauma where reconciliation is a possibility.
Today, we think about reconciliation after one has experienced betrayal. Sometimes there is a need and a desire to engage in the difficult work of reconciliation after betrayal. One must juggle many factors, such as the mentality and heart posture of the perpetrator, the voices of others who will say “get over it and move on”, and the real emotions and effects that are a part of the physiological distress.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting us to resurrect our relationships toward reconciliation. Dr. Mo reads from John 21:15-17 as we discuss what are normal effects of betrayal. One has to be intentional doing the work of reconciliation while leaning into the relationship with Jesus. He will do His part. Then, He invites and empowers us to do ours.

Happy Mother’s Day! Grace be unto you for the varied emotions this day evokes.
In this episode, Dr. Mo further discusses Jesus and relationships, namely with His mother, Mary. Dr. Mo reads from John 19:25-27 where we see Jesus hanging on the cross and Mary standing there nearby. Moments before Jesus gives up His spirit; He assures His mother’s provision.
Jesus even in His anguish and trauma, looked at His mother and speaks to her directly. He entrusts the care of His mother to the disciple, John. The word “Behold” in the Greek means to see. It also means to observe carefully.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting us to carefully observe our mothers, whether they are still living or have passed from this earthly life. Even in the various complexities this day holds for many, there are insights to consider as we look at Jesus as He beholds His mother.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further discusses the relationships between Jesus and His disciples.
Dr. Mo reads from Luke 22:54-62 and focuses on Peter and the relationship with himself. In Luke 22:61-62, Peter remembers and realizes as soon as Jesus looks at Him, Jesus’ prophecy that Peter would deny him.
Peter had to come face to face with himself in that moment. The Scripture says he wept bitterly - which means he wailed loudly and violently. He denied and betrayed His Lord. Betrayal trauma is defined as interpersonal trauma perpetrated by someone close to them. Betrayal trauma causes psychological distress for the victims of such abuse. And Peter enacted betrayal trauma upon the Son of Man, His friend, His Master, His Lord.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how we need to have a face to face with Self when we come into an awareness of betraying another, especially someone who is close and dear to us. As we continue to celebrate the Resurrection, may we be careful to pause and ponder what we stand in need of by way of Redemption as we acknowledge and confess our betrayals of others.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further discusses the relationship between Jesus and His disciples.
On this Resurrection Sunday, Dr. Mo reads select verses from Mark 16 and further discusses the relationship between Jesus and His disciples. After the Resurrection of Jesus, He went to Galilee waiting there for the disciples. Even Peter.
Jesus had experienced abandonment, rejection, and betrayal from the disciples. He summoned them to meet with Him even AFTER they abandoned Him. When Jesus appeared where the disciples were, we read that Jesus rebuked them - sharply criticizing them for their unbelief. Then, after He got a few things off of His chest, He commissioned them to go forth and preach the gospel.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how during this Resurrection Week we can pray about any relationships, personal or substitutionary, where we are being invited to take a posture of humility and not defensiveness. Perhaps we can resurrect relationships if we choose to listen to another who has been rejected, abandoned, and betrayed.

In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses the relationship between Jesus and His disciples.
On this Palm Sunday, Dr. Mo reads from Matthew 26:36-46, 56 and discusses this aspect of the relationship between Jesus and His disciples. Jesus invited three of His disciples - Peter, James, and John - into a most intimate and most difficult moment in His earthly life. He invited them into the Garden of Gethsemane to stay with Him as He prayed.
Jesus confided to HIs disciples that He was deeply grieved. He prayed to His Heavenly Father while the disciples slept. And previously, all of the disciples insisted they would never leave Jesus. However, when times got tough, the disciples deserted him.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how during this Holy Week we can attune to not only our closest relationships but also relating to humankind in general during these chaotic times. Can we come alongside people and assure them we will stay to help them during job losses, loss of benefits, fragmentation of family systems, and so many other fears and anxieties people are experiencing during these times. Or will we scatter?

In this episode, Dr. Mo further explores the discipline of Rest.
Dr. Mo continues to discuss Genesis 2:1-3 where we see how God Himself modeled rest for us. Our focus is on Genesis 2:3 where God blesses the Seventh Day and declares it holy.
We ponder the culture’s watering down that which God has declared holy. If He commands this day to be holy, how do we need to align our lives to fulfill His Word to us? We are challenged to think about what the day offers us - rest and tranquility - as opposed to a legalistic approach of what we cannot do.
Tune in to this episode as we think about how God blessed the day where He ceased from work and declared it holy and to be set apart. Let’s consider His model and invitation to us to recognize the Sabbath.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further explores the discipline of Rest.
Dr. Mo continues to discuss Genesis 2:1-3 where we see how God Himself modeled rest for us. We look at a detailed definition of the word “rest” in the Hebrew to understand how we might implement Sabbath rest in our lives.
Dr. Mo invites us to think about external and internal factors that might be in operation keeping us from engaging in Sabbath rest. Do we perceive the Sabbath to be rigid and legalistic instead of inviting and celebratory?
Tune in to this episode as we think about how God celebrated what He accomplished along with ceasing from His labor. Let’s consider His model and invitation to us to recognize the Sabbath.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further explores the discipline of Rest.
Dr. Mo continues to discuss Genesis 2:1-3 where we see how God Himself modeled rest for us. We are invited to conduct a time budget so that we will be able to trace where we invest our time. We are also asked to consider the season of life we are in and what purposes are to be accomplished during the current season. Are we willing to consider some of the tasks we attempt to complete during this season, may not be the appropriate tasks for the season?

In this episode, Dr. Mo celebrates five years of the podcast!
Dr. Mo reflects on five years of podcasting as she understands that worship is an act of obedience. We look at Genesis 22:5 where Abraham takes his son, Isaac, to be sacrificed. It is the first time in the Scriptures the word “worship” is used.
Dr. Mo discusses places where she has failed to execute all God has shown and instructed her concerning the podcast. She talks about continuing the work wholeheartedly as an act of worship, that is, obedience unto God. Which includes fully executing the vision God has given her concerning the podcast.
Tune in to this episode as we thank God for gracing us for five years of “And The Church Said”!

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues to discuss ways we can start the new year being more organized, productive, or more efficient by considering the discipline of rest.
We are studying Genesis 2:1-3 and observing God’s model for rest that we can apply to our lives. God completed the work He purposed to do each day. God is God and still chose to establish boundaries each day as to what He would complete. This should motivate us to be realistic in what we can accomplish in a given day.
Tune in to this episode as we think about God choosing a day of rest, blessing it, and declaring it as holy.

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues to discuss ways we can start the new year being more organized, productive, or more efficient.
We are still delving in Genesis 1 for principles that help us frame how to order our days toward productivity. Starting at verse 4 throughout the remainder of the chapter, we see three themes emerging: (1) God was productive and creating every day; (2) He reviewed all of His accomplishments at the end of the day and blessed the day declaring it was good; and (3) when He made humankind He declared that it was VERY good.
Tune in to this episode as we imagine how God might be inviting us to plan our tasks and feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each day.

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues to discuss some of the approaches we take at the beginning of a new year when seeking to get organized or set other aspirational goals.
We continue to look at Genesis 1 with a focus on verse 3 and the three words “Let there be”. We are still thinking of Genesis 1 as a frame to consider how God might be inviting us to create and exercise an authority using the words “let there be”.
Tune in to this episode as we contemplate an invitation from God to create and establish. We must also consider what is required of us to implement, maintain, and protect those creations from sabotage.

Happy New Year!
In this first episode of this New Year, Dr. Mo talks about how some people resolve to get organized at the beginning of the year.
We look at Genesis 1:1-3 to discuss a framework that we can apply to our specific lives for our unique circumstances. There are places in our lives that we feel are empty, dark, or without form.
Tune in to this episode as we ponder if God is inviting the creative parts of us to create in these places - emotionally, mentally, relationally, or spiritually - that we feel are without form.
In this episode, Dr. Mo concludes this impromptu series on unification of the Body of Christ through the following three points:
- Recognizing diversification
- A common focus
- Toward a common good - love
Tune in to this episode as we close out the season of Advent focusing on the theme of love. We look to I Corinthians 13 to determine if we pursue love. We should recognize that love and good will is not only during the “magic” of the Christmas season but also throughout the entire year.
Do you pursue love?

Tune in to this episode as we are in the season of Advent focusing on the theme of joy. We look to I Corinthians 12:19-27 to consider how to cultivate joy in the Body of Christ. We are asked to engage in self-examination by considering are there members of the Body or non-members that we say we do not need?
Can we imagine the joy we cultivate by treating all individuals with honor and respect as God intended? And recognizing there are some God Himself labels as weaker members.
How do we treat them?

In this episode, Dr.Mo further discusses how the Church of the Living God must first recognize diversity before there is true unity. She delves deeper into I Corinthians 12 for wisdom on how the Church can and should lead the way in unifying.
Unifying requires intentionality and can be communicated to be more simplistic than the process really is. Many times we are required to collapse some part of our Selves that results in uniformity instead of unity.
Tune in to this episode as we receive wisdom from I Corinthians 12:4-7 on how we can unify by focusing on diversifying.

In this episode, Dr. Mo talks about unity after the presidential election in the United States. She discusses how there is no unifying without diversifying.
Dr. Daniel Siegel outlines in his book “The Developing Mind” how essential it is for us to “cultivate an integrated sense of our identity” in order to confront the most urgent of challenges that face us today.
We have to be intentional to cultivate a sense of “our” identity in order to unite in these polarized times..
Tune into this episode, as we look at I Corinthians 12 to understand how to diversify as we unify. We are indeed ONE body in Christ comprised of many members with many gifts and many ministries.

In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses Clergy Appreciation Month and closing out Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Dr. Mo encourages us to remember the emotional load that clergy carry and to consider being a healthy support for them. Many clergy cannot disclose some of the issues that burden them due to the sensitivity and confidentiality that is required as part of their ministerial work.
Tune into this episode as we consider being in healthy relationships with our clergy by extending gestures such as offering to pay for a counseling session, telling them you’re sorry about the hurt and abuse they experienced, and showing concern for them as humans with a high and heavy calling.

In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses the difference between submission and control as we further discuss the use of male privilege as a means of power in abusive relationships.
Many women believe they are being godly thinking submission is the same as control. Today, we define submission to understand how we should exercise agency in relationships to choose healthy relationships and be able to recognize red flags where male privilege is abusive and oppressive.
Tune into this episode as we discuss how to distinguish between submission and control to discern if relationships are abusive. If you are beginning to recognize these patterns in your relationship, please call a trusted friend or family member, or reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses Domestic Violence Awareness Month and how to recognize red flags of abusive relationships.
Not all domestically violent relationships have an element of physical violence but all have elements of power and control. Typically, these behaviors are not immediately recognized in the beginning of relationships.
Tune into this episode as we discuss how to recognize if you are being manipulated through tactics to isolate you from friends and family. Remember Proverbs 11:14 advises us “there is safety in the multitude of counselors”. Tell someone about your relationships to have others to help you discern if it is healthy or not.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses what does it mean for the church to be a witness of joy during the season of Advent 2023.
Today marks the third week of Advent as we focus our hearts and minds on the birth of our Savior and on His Second Coming. The difficult and dark circumstances across the world that we are enduring in this present day can certainly discourage or depress any feelings of joy.
Dr. Gadson looks at Luke 2:10-11 & Luke 24:52 and understands the word joy that appears in these verses mean a “calm delight” in the Greek. Interestingly, the joy surrounding the birth of Jesus and the Ascension is described as a calm delight.
Tune into this episode to hear how we can experience a “calm delight”. How do we understand that to be an encounter with Jesus? And how does that equip us to come alongside other members of Body to witness Joy?

This episode mentions the word suicide as an excerpt is read from a chapter about finding Hope in dark places.
On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses what does it mean for the church to witness Hope during the season of Advent 2023.
Advent begins today as we focus our hearts and minds on the birth of our Savior and on His Second Coming. There are difficult and dark circumstances that we are enduring in this present day. Much like those who heard the prophets of old, we await not the birth, but now the return of Jesus. We draw from the Hope those possessed thousands of years ago that “unto us a Child WILL be born” as Isaiah prophesied in chapter 9, verse 6.
Tune into this episode to hear how we wait on the Holy Spirit to discern when we should explicitly mention Jesus and when we should embody Him and extend hope to others by seeing and hearing them.

Members, Visitors, and Friends!
Happy Thanksgiving 2023! We want to acknowledge that we understand this day is complicated and very nuanced. People are grateful and spending time in joyous celebrations and gathering with friends and family. And also, the same people and others are feeling the weight and heaviness of many circumstances, currently and historically.
On this episode, Dr. Gadson looks at Malachi 3:8-9 and asks one question that was given to her by the Holy Spirit. Is it thanks or is it theft?
Tune in to this episode as she compels us to pause, to ponder, and to pray asking God are we giving thanks for things we have taken from others and from God Himself.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson further discusses what does it mean for the church to be a refuge and how it applies to disciple perpetrators of abuse.
Dr. Gadson shares her insights and thoughts from years of working in and with churches to consider how to navigate the very delicate task of discipling those who have inflicted psychological abuse on others. She admonishes the church to equip members for this specific task and to understand when to refer to a professional licensed clinician.
Tune in to this episode as Dr. Gadson looks to Jesus and His relationship with Zacchaeus as a model for discipling those with a repentant heart and a plan for reparations.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson continues to discuss what does it mean for the church to be a refuge and witness to those who are victims of psychological abuse.
Dr. Gadson shares about a conversation among graduate students who wondered what to do when individuals who are victims of abuse are rushed to forgiveness by members of the Church. Sometimes victims receive subtle suggestions (and most times not so subtlety), that forgiveness is the “way” to go.
Dr. Gadson reviews the thoughts that inform why we should wait on the Holy Spirit to guide us with wisdom and clarity to be equipped to do the work of the ministry relating to victims of psychological abuse. She then looks to the compassionate strategy of the Good Samaritan to inform how we can “BE” the Kingdom of Heaven at hand and not necessarily “preach” the Kingdom of Heaven.
Tune in to this episode to discover why a theological statement of forgiveness is not the first order of business among those who are severely suffering and mentally tormented due to psychological abuse.

Today’ we review a previous episode, where Dr. Gadson continues to reflect on Pentecost and what does it mean for us as witnesses for Jesus on behalf of His bridegroom, the Church.
She reflected on the mandate to wait found in Luke 24:48-49.
Dr. Gadson considers the wisdom found in the command to wait until one is empowered from on high. She imagines how this command can guide the members of the church to become equipped BEFORE going out to witness to those who have been hurt by the church,
Tune in to this episode as she discusses how churches should disciple the members in developing relational skills to more effectively serve those who are hurt or traumatized. And to encourage members to deal with their own emotional hurts before they witness to others.

Historian, author, speaker - Dr. Jemar Tisby - joins the podcast today.
Dr. Jemar Tisby shares his lived experiences and the emotional effects of realizing when he did not belong, especially in the church. Dr. Tisby recounts how he was introduced to Jesus and the positive encounters he experienced in his formative years.
We engage dialogue to honor the emotional aspects of Dr. Tisby’s story as he delves into the feeling of betrayal he experienced and endured. It is because of those previous positive experiences and his remembrance of Who Jesus simply is, that propels him to continue to call the church to be a place of belonging by eliminating the barrier of race.
Dr. Tisby encourages everyone to check on and check in with one another to generate and communicate hope. That hope and care and concern can be healing in the lives of others. He also shares that self care is essential as he continues to do the work God has called him to do.

Focusing on the facts that Avery Neal reported in her article “Identifying Psychological Abuse”, Dr. Gadson discusses how the church should step into conversations on psychological abuse. If the church does not raise awareness on psychological abuse, she could potentially cultivate the environment that allows psychological abuse to thrive.
The church can be refuge from psychological abuse by raising awareness, holding discussions in various ministries and all age groups, and training leadership about psychological abuse and how to identify the members who are most vulnerable to psychological abuse.
Tune in to this episode to learn what refuge in the Hebrew means. Also, hear why the church needs to discuss psychological abuse from the pulpit, and how psychological abuse hinders our spiritual growth.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson further reflects on Pentecost and what does it mean for the Church to be witnesses for Jesus. We continue to frame our discussion from Acts 2:12 while considering how does it look for the church to be a refuge, reflecting God as The Refuge found in Psalm 46:1.
Specifically, Dr. Gadson addresses how should the church witness to victims of psychological and verbal abuse. She focuses on victims within these abusive relationships and marriages who are at times ill advised by members of the church, or Christians, to remain in these toxic and dangerous situations.
Tune in to hear Dr. Gadson ponder what does it mean for the church to be a refuge for victims of psychologically and verbally abusive marriages and relationships.

Happy Father’s Day 2023!
On this episode, Dr. Gadson reflects on Proverbs 3:12. She elaborates on how God our Father loves us and disciplines us. In this verse, we see God’s love is compared to the love of a father who disciplines and delights in his children.
This episode is to encourage the fathers who are doing the unmovable, persistent, and unwavering work of holding the line loving the children and disciplining them at the same time, even when they hear the difficult words “you don’t love me”.
Tune in and imagine how God uses fathers to display His love and correction toward us!

On this episode, Dr. Gadson continues to reflect on Pentecost and what does it mean for us as witnesses for Jesus on behalf of His bridegroom, the Church.
Today, she reflects on the mandate to wait found in Luke 24:48-49.
Dr. Gadson considers the wisdom found in the command to wait until one is empowered from on high. She imagines how this command can guide the members of the church to become equipped BEFORE going out to witness to those who have been hurt by the church,
Tune in to this episode as she discusses how churches should disciple the members in developing relational skills to more effectively serve those who are hurt or traumatized. And to encourage members to deal with their own emotional hurts before they witness to others.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We will begin this month with an interview with Atlanta-based psychiatrist, Dr. Michael Lyles.
Dr. Lyles follows up from a previous podcast conversation recorded during the pandemic. He gives his perspective on three years into/after the pandemic and the state of the church and mental health.
Dr. Lyles discusses how the church needs to be certain to attune to its congregants, especially in areas of loneliness. And how church leadership needs to model difficult discussions from the pulpit.
Tune in to this episode to listen to Dr. Lyles encourage us to normalize sharing the “many afflictions” we all suffer as members in the church.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson continues to discuss the passage found in Mark 10:21-22 about the rich young ruler. Today’s focus will be on the relational insights that emerge from this passage.
Dr. Gadson establishes that the relationship between Jesus and the rich young ruler is established in love. Jesus looks at the young rich ruler in love and makes a difficult request of him.
She reiterates how culture has confounded love to mean only good feelings and pleasantries. And if anyone, including Jesus, makes a hard ask of us, it means we are not loved.
Tune in to this episode to hear the relational insights that emerge from this passage:
- Jesus and others
- Individuals and self
- Self and "stuff”

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how we should honor the ground and become groundskeepers as we reflect on Earth Day 2023. She discusses Genesis 2:4-6 to highlight how God provided for the ground before there was rain. Before God caused shrubs and plants to grow, He created man to work the ground.
Dr. Gadson invites us to consider how tending to the ground grounds us and can reduce stress, anxiety, and lighten our moods. She discusses the adverse effects of global warming and how it is driven by human behavior.
Tune into this episode to consider how a change in our behaviors can result in a cleaner environment, better mental health, and honor given to our Creator.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson continues to examine the passage found in Mark 10:21-22 viewed from an emotional perspective.
Dr. Gadson focuses on how in today’s culture, love can be equated to only good and positive feelings. There is a rush to question or cancel a relationship if we are left feeling uncomfortable.
Also, we discuss how we decide what Jesus may or may not ask of us to do. From an emotional perspective, we are thinking Jesus would not ask us to do things that cause us to be “dismayed and grieved”. However, in this episode, we see otherwise.
Tune in to this episode to consider how love sacrifices, requests, and possibly feels.

Happy Resurrection Day!
On this episode, Dr. Gadson reminds us that the same love we are celebrating today is the same unconditional love that Jesus looked at the rich young ruler with while asking him to sell all of his possessions.
As we celebrate the sacrifice Jesus made for us, let us remember there are times He will also ask us to make sacrifices.
Tune in to this episode to be encouraged to cultivate a deep relationship with Jesus. It is the hope we have in HIM, that sustains us through the difficult asks of us.

Happy Palm Sunday!
On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how love has been co—opted and reduced to only good feelings. She discusses Mark 10:21-22 to illustrate how following Jesus might involve Him asking us to do some difficult things that leave us dismayed.
As we enter Holy Week, Dr. Gadson gives us a few points to ponder this week.
Tune in to this episode to consider how we can miss the loving looks given to us by Jesus and others because what we hear might cause us to be dismayed and grieved.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how avoidance hinders our development- spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically.
We revisit our discussion from last week to further understand what factors prevent situations from happening “by this time”.
Dr. Gadson evaluates the words “lazy” and “dull to hearing" to understand how our spiritual developmental journey can be hindered by our avoidances and reluctances. These might be rooted in our physical and mental developmental journeys.
Tune in to this episode to hear her also talk about how the mature members of the Body can evaluate for why things might not happen “by this time” to encourage, coach, rebuke, and advise those individuals who are not maturing in their spiritual development.

On this podcast, Dr. Gadson returns celebrating three years for the podcast! She also discusses how God has expectations for us “by this time”.
Dr. Gadson expounds upon Hebrews 5:12-14 and points out to us that God expects us to move from milk to solid food. He expects us to participate in our development from being inexperienced to being more mature. In this passage, God expects us to be able to discern between good and evil.
She invites us to look at ourselves and examine what keeps us being lazy as the passage states. Or unmotivated. Or people-pleasers. Or angry.
Tune in to this episode to hear Dr. Gadson discuss her expectations for the podcast by this time - three years later.

Today’s episode highlights another aspect of what we do and why. We review this episode with Pastor Watson Jones III about his pastoral perspective on emotional awareness in the Black Church.
Pastor Jones shares from his extensive experience as a pastor on how he has intentionally cultivated an emotionally healthy atmosphere in the Black Church from the pulpit.
He shares how he has used tools from his own emotional journey to assist in cultivating an emotionally healthy church environment. Pastor Jones currently serves as pastor of Compassion Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois. We are grateful there are others who are in the trenches promoting the work at the intersection of mental health and faith, especially in the Black church community.
Tune in to hear Pastor Watson’s work that encourages us to embrace our emotional and mental well-being!

Happy New Year!
Although we are several days into the New Year, we have taken much time to reflect. We typically do not rush to make resolutions (if at all). We instead take a posture to write and reflect.
As it relates to this podcast, we have reflected on what we do and why. Reviewing this podcast episode with our previous guest Shundria Riddick reminds us of the work we do at the intersection of faith and mental health.
Shundria is a licensed professional counselor who reminds us to challenge our assumptions about what we believe to be true about God, His Word, and ourselves. Shundria gives us practical examples of how we can see our faith demonstrated in practical ways.
Tune in to this episode to be encouraged as we are by Shundria! What a way to begin the year by reflecting on what we do and why!

We continue to focus on the Spirit of Christmas during this Advent season as we remember the hope we have in knowing the Lord has come.
In this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses another excerpt from the devotional “Reflections on the Life of Mary." She focuses on the emotions expressed by Mary even after being told the Lord is with her. Mary was deeply troubled and afraid when Gabriel greeted her.
Isn’t it assuring to know that although we may not feel in the “Christmas spirit”, the Lord is still with us. Even when we are deeply troubled and afraid, we have hope in the fact The Spirit of Christmas is here with us!

Black to the Beginning Podcast hosts, Dr. Samantha Coleman and Sandria Washington, join the podcast today.
Dr. Sam and Sandria share with us their lived experiences around finding out as adults they were adopted. They discuss the varied emotions they felt once they found out - such as validated, dejected, and traumatized.
Dr. Sam and Sandria talk about how they started the podcast to give voice to adoptees as experts of their own lives. They share how the church can assist adoptees by giving opportunity to hear their voices and experiences. They also warn the church to be careful about using their experiences to compare to being adopted into the family of God, especially as adoptees might be wrestling with learning their adoption status.
These women discuss how some adoptees might question God, and that’s okay. And how, when it is all said and done, God has chosen all of the adoptees as He knew about their experiences.
Tune in to this episode to hear how these brilliant women assist other adoptees with affirming the trauma around being adopted and dealing with the layered nuances as they journey through life.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson concludes the focus on the 40 days following the Resurrection celebration until the day of Ascension.
Dr. Gadson recognizes that it has been a difficult and dark time in the country’s history. After two grueling weeks of mass murders taking place, she leads us to the Scripture to find joy.
In Luke 24:48 - 53, we see where the Disciples were being blessed by Jesus as He was being ascended to the Father. After the disciples worshipped, they had great joy.
Dr. Gadson reminds us that the expression of our lament and grief are forms of worship. She encourages us that after we worship we find joy. And we also discover that joy can mean “a calm delight.”
Tune in to this episode to discover how we can create space for and find joy. We do not have to rush pass our laments and grief. We also do not have to rush pass and deny ourselves joy. This is the tension with which we live.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson continues to explore the appearances of Jesus after the Resurrection.
This week, we see Jesus appearing to two disciples as they are traveling to Emmaus. These two were so involved in their discussion concerning the recent events, they were prevented from seeing Jesus as He came near to them . Jesus walked and talked with them and yet they were discouraged.
Sometimes it can be difficult to recognize Jesus when we are overwhelmed. We can engage in conversations with others as we attempt to make sense out of difficult events in our lives. We can be encouraged that although we might be "prevented from recognizing Him", Jesus will still draw near to us.
Tune in to this episode to see how at the right time, our eyes will be opened and we will recognize Him!

Dr. Gadson warns us to take great care with the words we extend to others to consider not exacerbating trust issues they may have with people, and with Jesus.
Tune in to this episode to consider how we can aid others in believing the words of Jesus - just as He said.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how our Values can help us to become more conscious of Self.
Dr. Gadson invites us to interrogate what are our values, how did our values come to be, and how do our values influence how we interact with others. She invites us to especially consider how do these interactions look in the various communities in which we find ourselves. Especially the church.
Tune in to this episode to consider how during this Lent Season, we can focus on our character and become more conscious of not only Self, but also others. If we answer the Lord’s call of “who shall I send?" with “here I am” - we need to be conscious of who we are sending.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson celebrates 100 Sunday episodes being published! Along with that, she discusses the value and process of being conscious of self.
She discusses how intrapersonal relationships impact our interpersonal relationships. As she continues to imagine the C.H.U.R.C.H. - the community for healing, uniting, and restoring in Christian hope, Dr. Gadson wonders how the community should deal with those who do not submit to the process of being conscious of self. Especially among leaders.
How do we imagine a community that heals, unites, and restores - if the individuals do not surrender to the process to understand why they injure, divide, and tear down?

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses Community and how we as citizens, impact community.
She borrows tenets from Komives, Wagner & Associates from their book, “Leadership for a Better World" to help imagine how C.H.U.R.C.H. can be developed into a community that enhances the emotional and mental well-being of its citizens.
Dr. Gadson discusses how each one of us, according to I Corinthians 12:4-7, has been given a manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. Through the lens of systemic thinking, we consider how leading Self forms us into individuals that can better and more effectively lead others in community. This being as we consider leadership as a process and not a position.
Tune in to this episode to consider how each of us has a responsibility toward serving others in community while embracing diversity given by the same Spirit.

On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses more about expressive writing. She discusses how it benefits those who are dealing with life’s difficulties as a result of decisions made by others or life’s unexpected and overwhelming events.
Repeated exposure and retelling of our stories help us to find unique outcomes and possible solutions. When we deal with the consequences from decisions made by others or life happenstances, sometimes we feel out of control.
Dr. Gadson helps us to see the choice we have is how we decide to respond to those negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. And how we choose can make a significant impact for the future.

In this episode, Dr. Gadson continues discussing the benefits of journaling.
Through the use of expressive writing, we can record our negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When we courageously and intentionally review these writings, we begin to cognitively process and understand our behaviors.
Isaiah wrote “in their presence”. Judah, was reminded of the poor and ungodly choices they made in Isaiah 30:8. When we write in our tablets concerning our ungodly choices and unhealthy alliances, they are now in our presence. Right in our faces for us to see.
Dr. Gadson discusses how facing our poor choices as opposed to avoiding them could result in those behaviors becoming extinct in our lives.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about how to diminish our emotional responses and poor choices.

In this episode, Dr. Gadson continues discussing the benefits of journaling.
Isaiah 30:8 is a verse that sits in the middle of a passage where Judah is being condemned for its unholy alliance with Egypt. In verse 8, Isaiah is instructed to “write it on a tablet”, which includes all of the consequences Judah suffered for their acts of rebellion.
Dr. Gadson discusses how we too, can write it on the tablet, when we make poor choices. She discusses research that shows how writing about life’s difficulties can help us reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and rumination.
We can write it on a tablet when life’s difficulties cause us to make choices that were not sanctioned by God. And we can also see how God redeems us with His mercy and compassion.

In this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses the topic of journaling.
She highlights Exodus 17:8-16. In this passage, Moses was instructed to "write this down" - recalling the events when Aaron and Hur assisted him in holding up his hands enabling Joshua to defeat the Amaleks.
God instructed Moses to "write this down" to remind and to recite for generations.
Journaling is a way we can record events in our lives where God has shown Himself to us.
In this way, journaling is used as a spiritual discipline facilitating our spiritual formation.
Listen to this episode to understand the role of journaling for our spiritual formation and for others’ remembrance.

It’s a New Year!
And as we have reflected on Mary’s life, we take the posture she took “treasuring all the things in her heart.” We discuss how journaling can be a means to treasure all things in our hearts toward our emotional and spiritual well-being.
Some may have goals for this year to deal with past issues they have suppressed. We talk about how journaling gives us an outlet to express our emotions and to deconstruct our issues into more manageable parts to not be overwhelmed.
Dr. Gadson discusses her SOAP method of journaling that can be found in her resource “Session Notes: Intimate Times with God”. Link to journaling workbook found here: https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/store/p/k8psfln7jh72diw8i36txniwi2e05xWe also discuss how journaling has other benefits for our well-being.

Today’s episode focuses on the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth from the devotional “Reflections on the Life of Mary."
Dr. Gadson discusses how important it is for us to have spiritual companions throughout life. We need to see the faithfulness of God in the lives of others. We also need the blessing of their encouraging and equipping us.
In order to have healthy spiritual companionships, we need emotionally healthy individuals. To be in close proximity with others as Mary and Elizabeth were, we need to be safe individuals one for the other. We need to allow people to ask questions and express their emotions without rebuke.
As a healthy body, we also need to be able to support others and not shame them when it is time for them to leave. The members and the body have to do an emotional work to be safe and healthy spiritual companions and a safe and healthy spiritual haven.

We continue with our discussion from the devotional “Reflections on the Life of Mary."
On this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how although Mary was favored and chosen, she still experienced a time of questioning “how can this be”.
The angel Gabriel did not rebuke Mary for her questions. He invited her through the confused and perplexed feelings to discover the answer that was in store for her.
Tune in to this episode to hear how this question was answered for Mary. We, along with Mary, discover how God shows us He is with us. When we see how God is with us, we, like Mary, can be encouraged and surrendered.

Dr. Gadson discusses another excerpt from the devotional “Reflections on the Life of Mary.” She focuses on the emotions expressed by Mary even after being told the Lord is with her.
Mary was deeply troubled and afraid when Gabriel greeted her.
As we continue to focus on the Spirit of Christmas, how assuring it is to know although we may not feel in the “Christmas spirit” because we are deeply troubled and afraid, the Lord is still with us. The Spirit of Christmas is here!

Dr. Gadson discusses her new devotional booklet “Reflections on the Life of Mary”. She encourages us to focus on the true meaning of the season as we enter into Advent. And what better way to focus on the Christmas spirit than to focus on the Spirit of Christmas.
And to the one who carried the Spirit within her. Mary.
Join us as we reflect on her life over the next few weeks. We look to this blessed woman, Mary, her youth, her yielding, and her yes, as we pause to focus on all of the in-between moments from when she was visited by Gabriel unto the birth of the Savior!

Dr. Gadson discusses common roles that are found in most families. During this holiday season, most people are preparing to gather with families. And then there are some people that do not plan to gather with family or cannot gather with them. There are many reasons but sometimes the drama and trauma within families keep people away.
Dr. Gadson discusses how sometimes people outgrow the roles they assumed in their earlier childhood experiences. When they return to gather with family, it can be hard for them when other family members expect them to behave in ways that no longer fit who they are.
Dr. Gadson discusses how sometimes the person who is coming home is not the same person who left.

Dr. Gadson discusses launching adult children. Launching requires effort and intentionality. The Bible teaches us to train our children. We have to think with the end in mind when parenting. Who do we want our children to be when it is time to launch them as young adults?
There is a process to prepare them to become individual adults who are able to manage their own lives well. And we must begin the training early in their lives.

Dr. Gadson is back from hiatus!
And today, we will be discussing some of the things we find out about ourselves, when Jesus instructs us to launch.
We might be skeptical, overwhelmed, and fatigued. We might feel we are impostors, trying to please others, or struggling with perfectionism.
Let’s discover how Jesus meets us when we recognize ourselves in front of Him and His instructions.

Dr. Gadson discusses how we should make plans and submit those plans to the Lord.
We are often discouraged when our plans do not go accordingly. So many of us were displaced and disoriented when the pandemic interrupted many plans that were made.
Dr. Gadson discusses how we must surrender to “if the Lord wills" as a means of discipleship.
The podcast will also be going on hiatus. If the Lord wills, we will announce when we start up again!

Dr. Gadson talks about Mother’s Day and Mental Health Awareness Month. She discusses how mothers deal with a multitude of emotional and mental challenges. She encourages mothers to engage in deep soul care beyond just self -care.
She also looks to Eve, who is the mother of all living things, to seek God on how we might be used as agents of redemption. We can look around and see those who are living with no life or difficult lives . How might God be inviting us to provide life or abundant life to others?
How might He be inviting us to channel His redemption?
To be a mother? To mother?
With this thought in mind, Happy Mother’s Day TO ALL!

When we encounter storms in our lives, it is essential that we discern through prayer, if these storms are man-made. Many will be our afflictions. We should take care not to add unnecessary mental and emotional anguish to our lives and the lives of others.
Dr. Gadson looks at the life of Jonah to discuss the man-made storms in our lives. We need to examine ourselves when we deliberately flee the Lord’s presence. She also discusses that we need to be mindful of where we decide to go after fleeing God’s presence. We bring turmoil in the lives of others when we flee the Lord’s presence. Finally, she also discusses examining our lives to determine who have we let inside that could be the source of storms raging in our lives.

Today is Valentine’s Day. There is so much Love that is being discussed and demonstrated.
Dr. Gadson decides to focus on two words in one of the most central verses of the Bible found in Matthew 22:39 “as thyself." She brings attention to self-love.
In this episode, Dr. Gadson discusses how we answer the question - how do we love "thyself”. The answer to this question will illuminate how we truly God and our neighbors.
She challenges those who struggle with self-love to seek out sound Christian counseling. There is healing and a reinforcing of God loves for us through that process.

As we move into a new year and further into a new decade, we explore ways to move toward health - mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
Dr. Gadson discusses how the act of introspection can be a way we present ourselves as a “living sacrifice which is our true worship."
Introspection is a critical process for our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. We have to look inwardly at our thoughts and our behaviors if we seek to change.
Dr. Gadson looks at the disciples with Jesus during the Passover to discuss this concept of introspection.

Christmas is just a few days away. And there are some that are more plagued with questions and concerns, than being in the “Christmas spirit.” 2020 has been a very difficult year and just because it is almost Christmas, doesn’t mean that all is well for some. In fact, the Christmas season might be exacerbating previous concerns.
Dr. Gadson looks at the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus as she pondered the question “how can this be?’ She invites us to allow space to ponder the same question when we are dealing with some harsh realities - “how can this be?”

Dr. Gadson discusses how the Body of Christ can be a healthy and healing space for those who have been betrayed. One of the main components of healing from betrayal is a healthy social support system. And it’s one of the things avoided by people experiencing high betrayal trauma.
The Body of Christ and the members of the Body should give careful consideration to providing corrective and healing experiences to those who are desperately hurting from betrayal.
