I found myself swinging like a mad woman at a large, beeping (seriously, it was beeping at me!) softball...and I could not hit it! Want to hear how God turned this moment of complete frustration into an experience I will never forget? More on today's podcast as I share a very personal Interactive Appreciation story example.

Last week we talked about what Interactive Appreciation is AND how to have an amazing moment with God. Now, how do you share that with others without sounding like a weirdo?

In groups and with 1on1 clients and friends, I use interactive appreciation every single day. It is SO easy and allows for an immediate deeper connection. So, here's how to get started and practice with friends...or strangers! Let's talk!

If you have been following my podcast for any length of time, you know I try to be as authentic and transparent as possible. In this summer series as I'm sharing tools, I wanted to share some of my personal examples. So today, I share a journal entry I wrote a while ago using the Emmanuel Journaling technique. Now it's your turn! LINKS:Join the free community and stay up to date on new gro...

This is a continuation of our journaling conversation from last week (so, you might want to go back an episode in order for this to make sense!). This topic is HUGE, but we address it head-on. How do I know it's God's voice? What if it's just hard? Let's talk! LINKS:Join the free community and stay up to date on new groups and resources here: http://www.bethanyboring.com Watch The...

Even if you are NOT a writer, you will at least want to try this resource. Today, I start part 1 of Emmanuel Journaling. This is a very simplified approach that really anyone can do. Even if you simply bullet journal, this practice can radically change your week in amazing ways. Let's talk!

Why is it that my brain thinks I'm in danger when I'm at the dentist and I'm told, "Open wide!"? Or why does taking deep breaths to calm me down? Is it just a sham? There's SO much more to our brain than you could ever think or imagine (get it?). Ok, let's talk!

Have you ever found yourself talking with someone, watching their mouth move, even hearing words coming out but feeling completely disconnected from the conversation? It's ok! All you need to do is help your RCs turn back on. No, I'm not talking about remote-controlled cars. I'm talking about Relational Circuits. You have more control than you think (no pun intended). Let's talk! L...

In this episode, we redefine freedom. Many times we define real freedom as the absence of a bad, destructive, or defective behavior or thought. What is freedom was actually not about getting rid of anything at all? What if it was actually about the continual presence of God? Let's talk! Thank you Bob Hamp for this new definition!

As we get ready to head into summer, I noticed this is often a season of endings and transition. In the helping profession, this isn't always handled well. Even in our world, we have seen friendships, relationships, and groups "end with a bang" (and that's not a GOOD bang...usually an unhealed rupture.
