Can you relate to stress and anxiety in a constantly changing world? Do God’s promises of peace and joy still apply in the world today? How can you find real peace, grace, and Jesus in the midst of the chaos?
My guests on today’s program are Steve and Jamie Wiechman, founders of Breathe Life Ministries. They got married in 1998 and have four children. They have traveled through many peaks and valleys, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They bring answers and insights to the questions around stress and pain from a place of deep personal experience.

Jamie, after 10 years in the trenches as a pastor’s wife and home educator, obtained an Advanced Counseling Certificate through the Townsend Institute at Concordia University – Irvine, CA. God has captured their hearts for sharing the freedom of the Gospel with Christian leaders and their families.
Steve currently serves as the Director of Strategy and Operations for Breath Life Ministries. Jamie currently serves as the Director of Ministry and Programs.

God calls his followers to live a life of sexual integrity (see 1 Thes. 4:1-8). Sometimes this is also stated in the phrase "sexual purity," which gets a lot of bad press -- even in the church. In this episode, our guest Jasper Hall, president of Pure Hope, helps us understand God's greater story of sex, how to reframe what it means to be "pure," and how we can better reflect the holiness and purity of Christ.

We say all the time that our deepest need is to be known and loved. But when it comes to being known, how well do you know yourself? Are you knowable? How do you really "know" yourself in order that others too might know you and love you?
In this episode, we share and analyze one man's story to help you understand how to "map" your own emotional system to get a clearer picture of who you are. This message is about hope and growth. Dive in with us to go deeper with yourself and others.
(While this episode focuses on men, the principles can apply to everyone.)

We all live with a core fear of some kind, a belief deep in our soul that states we aren't worthy or that we will be rejected or make a mistake and fail (and more; core fears are personal). Ultimately, core fear drives you to believe that others won't like you and they would reject you if they really knew you. In this episode, we brainstorm (on air) 50(ish) things to do when your core fear gets triggered. There is hope for responding to core fear in healthy ways and we want to model for you an exercise that can help you do this well.
