How to Stop Running from Your Feelings

This week, we’re joined by Jana Spangler for a powerful and practical conversation about emotions—especially the ones we’ll do just about anything to avoid feeling.Jana explains that emotions aren’t our enemies; they’re signals—messages from deep within us, rooted in ancient systems designed to guide and protect us. While emotions can feel overwhelming or even painful, learning to pay attention to them—rather than suppress or ignore them—helps us understand what’s really going on and respond with greater clarity, wisdom, and connection.She breaks down what emotions actually are, how they begin in our bodies, and why listening to them is key to living a healthier, more wholehearted life.

Christmas

In this episode we’ll talk about topics related to Christmas. We’ll start with a discussion of Old Testament prophecies that Jesus Christ would be the hope of Israel, delivering them from spiritual bondage. We’ll talk about how receiving hope and comfort in this life is an active choice. We’ll also review the appearance of Gabriel to Mary, including Mary’s faithful reaction to his annunciation. We’ll talk about how Mary, understanding her purpose, received great strength as she proceeded into the unknown. We’ll also review the story of the wise men, and how by looking for heavenly signs of happiness and peace in our own lives, we can be led to amazing destinations.
