Church Hurt Is Real ... But So Is Healing

What do you do when the place meant to bring healing is where you were hurt the most? In this episode, we dive into the reality of church hurt: sharing raw stories, hard truths, and the spiritual battle behind offense and betrayal. But this isn’t where the story ends. We also talk about how, through Scripture and real-life experience, we explore a path toward healing: choosing to bear with one another, extend forgiveness, and move forward in freedom the way Christ has forgiven us. The Boom Shakalaka Podcast Our mission is to love One More to Jesus and encourage each other to grow. One way we do that is by breaking down our best boom shaka laka moments at Heritage so we can grow in knowledge of God's Word together. Visit Heritage Church

Narcissism with Dr. Craig Piso

One of the issues I have faced throughout my ministerial career is narcissism. I worked for, I worked around, and I partnered with narcissistic people all my life. I just couldn’t get away from them. I was subject to their power games, their manipulation, and ultimately their attitudes of, “I am in control.” I hated it, and I hate to see people today subject to the pain of environments where power is all about control. In this episode, Dr. Nathan Unruh speaks with Dr. Craig Piso, a man who knows about power, and has written a book called, ‘Healthy Power: Pathways to Success in Work, Love and Life.’ Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed Guests Listen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!

Change the Way You Think with Dr. Shahana Alibhai

Brain health is so important. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” In this episode, interviewer Dr. Nathan Unruh talks with Dr. Shanana Alibhai about our brains, our need to challenge how we treat our brains, and how we think.

Praying in Times of Distress, Part 3

Why are guilty feeling so damaging to our prayer lives? What about when God told Jeremiah to not pray for the Israelites (Jeremiah 7:16, 11:14, 14:11)?

Praying in Times of Distress, Part 2

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry take a closer look at 2 Chronicles 7:14 as our pattern to cry out to God in distressing times. Who is to cry out to God? His people. What should they do? Humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our evil ways. Why are all these components needed for effective prayer? Because they are conditions for God to hear and prayer.

Progressive Christianity with Chris Heeb

Christianity has gone through many periods of time with differing theological viewpoints. We have had the hell fire and brimstone periods, the grace movement, the charismatic and Holy Spirit periods, and now we have Progressive Christianity. Progressive Christianity has the emphasis on compassion, mercy, and justice, but fails to preach the power of the Cross. In fact, some proponents in Progressive Christianity deny the need for the Cross. In this episode, Chaplain Chris Heeb and I unpack this Progressive Christianity movement.
