The way we are, the joys we have, and the struggles we go through are not random.  As we understand the life we have lived in the past,  it gives us a greater understanding of what we are struggling with today, and hope for a more whole and healthy future.  In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Kate Aldrich, certified life coach and Story Work specialist, to discuss the importance of engaging ou...

Big T Trauma, little t trauma, trauma bonding, generational trauma… the list goes on, and it can honestly feel very overwhelming if you’re someone who is trying to understand the trauma you have experienced in your own life. In this episode, Lindsey & Alli sit down with Dr. Stephanie VanDeusen, a licensed Professional Counselor and  Nationally Certified Counselor with a Ph. D. in Counseling fr...

Many of us grew up hearing the verbiage used in a famous commercial that “depression hurts.” In today’s society, many people have experienced the reality that depression does hurt, and sometimes when it hurts the most, finding the proper language to identify the struggle and the right resources to help us heal are not always easy to find. In this episode, Alli & Lindsey are joined by Pennsylva...

Grief and loss are two of the most difficult, and simultaneously the most universal parts of the human experience. Everyone has gone through some kind of grief and loss throughout their life, and while in the midst of it, the load often seems too heavy to bear. In this episode, Alli & Lindsey are joined by the supervisor of the Clinical Pastoral Education program at Lancaster General Hospital...

Anxiety is sky-high. Almost everyone is dealing with it. Oftentimes, it feels like everyone is talking about it, or nothing is being said at all. In the middle of these two extremes, the church must make space for Christians to talk about how anxiety affects even those who have a thriving relationship with Jesus. In this episode, our team processes how to identify anxiety, how to support someone w...

Join us for a mini-series on mental health! Mental health can come across as a "taboo" topic in the Christian realm today.  This Summer, the Pursue Reality Podcast team is putting our heads together, along with some amazing licensed counselors, specialists, and professionals, to break down the stigma around the conversation of mental health and the Christian. In this first episode, our t...

If you were to describe “discipleship” in four words, what would it be?  Is it possible to encompass what it means to be a disciple at its core in only four words or less? Join us for our final episode of Season 1 as we share stories and unpack what discipleship means for the Christian.  Intrigued by Alli's song suggestion in this episode? Head over to Spotify to listen to Christopher Burkhol...

The Bible makes it pretty clear that following Jesus is supposed to be ‘costly’ in some ways. At first glance, discipleship might seem like fun and games … until serving is required. In episode 7, we talk about the importance of serving in the context of discipleship, how it shapes & humbles us as followers of Jesus, and why it is so integral to becoming more like Christ.. and just a better hu...

We all learned and experienced different things that formed and shaped our way of thinking when we were younger. Maybe it was by our parents, in grade school, or even in the church. From bad jokes to cringy analogies that were used to try to teach us a lesson, everybody has a theology. Join us in episode 6 as we talk about how bad theology can hurts us, but good theology can greatly inform our exp...

How do adults make friends? Dare we say that the struggle... is real ? Loneliness is considered to be an epidemic in our world today, and finding "your people" can be really tough.  Many of us find ourselves asking the same questions: How do we build good and healthy friendships? Do men and women do friendships differently… and if so, how? Do married people need outside friends?  And are...

1:1 relationships, or mentorship, are essential to growing as a disciple of Jesus. We were never meant to navigate our faith alone, and mentors have the ability to sincerely impact the life of a growing Christian.  In this week's episode, we discuss how to choose a mentor, what role they play in your life, why we need older Christians in our lives, and how both older and younger Christians al...

What does it mean to be "on fire" for Jesus? And what happens when that fire goes out? The concept of 'lukewarm Christianity' can often seem taboo to talk about in a culture that is desperately trying to figure out how to passionately pursue Jesus in our daily lives, while also being authentic with where we are on our faith journey. Join us for episode 3 as we discuss how to gr...

Everyone is a disciple. Too often we think that we are either a disciple of Jesus, or nothing. The truth is, we are all disciples. The only question is, who or what is shaping and forming my life? In episode 2, we tackle two big influences in our life today: the news, and social media. Join us as we take an honest look at who and what we are truly following and being influenced by. Learn More Abou...
