Humans With Faith

Is there someone in your life that seems to have a knack for dropping wisdom right when you need it? It's my pleasure to introduce you to one of those people in my life. Leonard Lee travels the world training pastors, leaders, and as he says, 'Anyone who will listen.' In this, the first of three episodes, Leonard unpacks what he calls the 'Five Core Questions Of The Human Soul.' These episodes are incredibly shareable. Who do you know that would benefit from these conversations with Leonard? Make sure to share. www.humanswithfaith.com

He's back. Welcome to episode two with Dan Lasage, the father of eight kids, former bull rider, rodeo clown, mixed martial arts competitor and, as you'll hear today, he also competes in archery. In this conversation, Dan tells us what it means to put one foot in front of the other, the power of having a Fab Five, and the benefit of a couple of non-negotiables that are all about his wife and kids. You can follow Dan on Instagram @danthamanlasage. www.humanswithfaith.com 

Today’s guest likes to say he’s a normal guy who’s a father of eight kids, former bull rider, rodeo clown and competed in mixed martial arts. Normal? This episode is the first of two with Dan Lasage. In this conversation, Dan shares his battles with anger, isolation, and what he’s learned from leaning into the power of accountability with others. Dan will encourage you to push yourself outside your comfort zone, take ownership and embrace a growth mindset. www.humanswithfaith.com

When it comes to believing in intelligent design; that God is the Creator, does one have to ignore science? Hardly. My guest on this episode is Dan Dailey. A professional pilot, a budding astronomer, wine-making hobbyist, and person of faith, Dan shares some thoughtful comments as he and I have a conversation about creation. www.humanswithfaith.com

This the final episode of 'Only God,' as DeeDee Hawkins, Samantha Clark, Stephanie Valadez, and Kelly Dunn share their stories of experiencing a changed life. I want to thank these ladies for their bravery for pursuing a better life and their courage for sharing the journey with the rest of us. If you'd like to connect with them on Facebook, they'd love to hear from you. DeeDee Samantha Stephanie Kelly humanswithfaith.com

DeeDee Hawkins, Samantha Clark, Stephanie Valadez, and Kelly Dunn each arrived at the Powerhouse Transformation Center carrying with them their own story. Their struggles were unique, but their pain was similar. Being a victim of abuse, bound by addiction, and overwhelmed with the consequences of unhealthy choices creates a burden none of us are designed to bear. Broken is how they arrived. Being whole is how they leave. This episode is two of three as they share their story. humanswithfaith.com

In this episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with Scott MacGregor. For thirty years, Scott served in law enforcement, some of which included protection detail for the Governor of the State of California, emergency operations, counterterrorism, and threat awareness, SWAT, and the protection of dignitaries, not to mention many other things. The father of three girls, Scott faced an unexpected battle when his daughter, Teran turned seven years old. Diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia, a disease in which the bone marrow does not make enough blood cells for the body, Taryn was in a fight for her life. In a matter of eighteen months, she had fifty-three blood transfusions. Today, Scott says Taryn is a walking miracle. The organization Scott mentions is called, 'Be The Match.'

In this episode, my guest, Mark Marlow shares his story of substance abuse, incarceration, and ultimately coming to faith. If you’re not a person of faith, I think you’ll appreciate the sincerity and authenticity of Mark’s story. If you are a follower of Christ, what Mark has to say will encourage you and likely inspire you to remember that no one is so far gone, that God can’t do something incredible in their life. www.humanswithfaith.com  

Just when we thought we were done kicking off 2019 with our series, 'The Next You!' we had the opportunity to bring someone to the table who’s been applying the principles shared in every episode. If you’ve ever been tempted to believe all the chatter about change isn’t for you, think again. Today, our guest, Dana Guzman shares how her new journey to health is having an impact in even greater ways than she expected. Enjoy. www.humanswithfaith.com  

In this, the final episode of, 'The Next You!' we unleash Sargeant Ryan to stir your heart and mind to lean in, press on, and take the hill - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Enjoy. www.humanswithfaith.com

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 says, ‘Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. ‘   Where are you finding comfort?   Does where we find comfort contribute to our health or make us less healthy?   What are you trying to avoid when trying to find comfort?   Is it realistic to expect a pain-free life? Or, should we just choose the path of pain that leads to health?   These and other questions are some of what we discuss in episode six of ’The Next You!’   Bonus: Ryan goes Yoda and uses the word, ‘Chrysalis.’

'May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ - 1 Thessalonians 5:23   We’re made up of three primary parts; spirit, soul, and body. In this short episode, we discuss some simple ways to give attention to our spiritual and emotional health.   Being honest with our current state and making the decision to invest in our growth pays great dividends.   No one’s perfect. We all carry some of life’s baggage. If we give ourselves some grace, paired with a hunger to grow, good things can result.   www.humanswithfaith.com

In Episode Four of, 'The Next You! A series of conversations on health - spiritual, emotional, and physical,' we dig into the differences between fresh foods and processed foods. Nikki has a lot to say in this episode about sugar and Ryan can't stop talking about water. Meanwhile, Scott shares the story about his addiction to cereal and how he's overcome the nightly bowl of habit-forming goodness.

Welcome to Episode Three of, 'The Next You! A series of conversations on health - spiritual, emotional, and physical.' What's for dinner? Today, we're talking about food. Have you thought to ask, 'Is what I’m eating helping me to be who I want to be?' Whether or not we realize it, we have a relationship with food. In this discussion, you'll hear our co-hosts share how they're learning to make food a friend, not an enemy. It all starts with understanding what we’re eating.

In Episode Two of, 'The Next You! A series of conversations on health - spiritual, emotional, and physical,' we continue our discussion on the importance of MOTIVATION. Our co-host, Nikki Evers says, 'If we don’t take the first step, we’ll never take the next step.' Our other co-host, Ryan Jantzen says, 'Say yes and start. Start today, no delay.' If you've set a goal or many goals for 2019, we hope that this conversation gets you going, keeps you going, and fuels you toward experiencing the next iteration of awesomeness that you're capable of becoming.

We're kicking off season three and the New Year with, 'The Next You! A series of conversations on health - spiritual, emotional, and physical.' In Episode One, we discuss the importance of MOTIVATION. By asking ourselves the question, 'What’s my WHY?' we find the source of our motivation. Proverbs 29:18 says, ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.’ (KJV) After finding our 'Why,' we get specific by identifying our 'Win,' the measurable steps of progress along the way. We hope this simple, short conversation amps you up and adds value to the beginning of your 2019! www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith  

Is the biblical message of Christmas too good to be true? Is the unimaginable merely unbelievable? In our last episode of season two on Humans With Faith, we discuss how Christmas is not only an act of reconciliation but an invitation from God to embrace a relationship with Him. www.humanswithfaith.com  

Now and then I like to share with you what I've found resonates with others. In this episode, I sat down and recorded a casual walk-through of a talk I gave called, 'The Gift Of Life.' Many followers of Jesus experience what I call, 'The Gap.' There's a gap between what we believe and what we experience. This conversation is one facet of that struggle that I hope sheds some light for a few. www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

The story of Christmas includes the declaration of peace on earth. What might that really mean? After all, we don’t have to look very long to notice that peace on earth can be hit and miss. At best, it comes and goes. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday’s, these short episodes aim to help us better understand the underlying theology of Christmas and, in turn, encourage us to keep Christ as the center of the Christmas season. www.humanswithfaith @humanswithfaith
