EP #316 - Made for Abundance - Part 1 | God of Abundance
Feb 400:33:39Tap to summarizeYou were made for abundance—not for a life driven by fear, lack, or spiritual hustle. In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine unpacks what it really means that God is a God of abundance, not poverty or greed, and how that changes the way you see provision, prosperity, and your own heart. So much of the Church has swung between extremes: the “prosperity gospel” that idolizes material wealth, and the religious poverty mindset that treats lack as holy. Catherine goes back to Genesis to reveal God’s original design: humanity placed in the Garden of Delight, blessed, fruitful, and commissioned to reign as lovers and blessers, not as fearful strivers. She shows how the fall twisted our perception of God as Source, how Adam turned to “the ground” as his source, and how that introduced toil, thorns, and a mindset of scarcity. Through passages in Genesis 1–2, Psalm 1, and the imagery of Eden’s four rivers—overflowing increase, gushing, swift-flowing, and fruitfulness - Catherine paints a vivid picture of God’s love as extravagantly generous and endlessly creative. Abundance isn’t about hoarding stuff; it’s about living in union with the One who “richly gives us all things to enjoy,” and letting that overflow into the world around us. You’ll be invited to let go of any ditch you find yourself in - and come back to your true identity in Christ as a beloved son or daughter, designed to carry rivers of living water to a creation groaning for freedom. This is spiritual transformation and spiritual healing at the level of how you see God, yourself, and provision itself.

Transcribe →EP #315 - God Planted His Dreams in You | Spiritual Transformation
Jan 2800:57:37Tap to summarizeDiscover your true identity in Christ and the God who planted His own dreams inside you—and why your desires still matter. In this third part of the God’s Dreams, Your Dreams: Is God That Good? series, Dr. Catherine Toon dives deep into how a profoundly good God designed you as His “poetry” (Ephesians 2:10), crafted in love, and filled you with holy desires that won’t go away. She separates your unshakable ontology (who you are in Christ) from your changing roles, assignments, and seasons, so you never confuse your worth with what you do. Catherine exposes the religious lie that your heart is fundamentally untrustworthy and shows how God’s love and spiritual healing restore you to your true self. From Romans 8 and the unveiling of the sons and daughters of God, to Psalm 37:4 and Ephesians 3:16–20, she reveals a Father who works all things together for good, shares His glory with you, and dares you to dream with Him again. Creation itself is “on tiptoe,” waiting for you to wake up to who you are and step into the dreams He’s planted in your heart. You’ll learn how to discern between selfish fantasies and God-breathed desires, how spiritual transformation flows from union with a personal, loving God (not a vague cosmic force), and how experiencing God in your desires leads to real-world impact and inner healing. This is about discovering your identity in God and living as a co-creator of heaven-on-earth in your unique flavor. Practical takeaway: Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one dream that keeps resurfacing, even after disappointment. Write it down, invite Jesus into the grief and delay, and pray: “Father, I give You the right to direct my life—ignite Your dreams in me again.” Then watch for the next small, courageous step.

Transcribe →EP #314 - You Are Worthy in Christ | Identity & God’s Dreams
Jan 2100:43:42Tap to summarizeFeeling unworthy, disqualified, or “too much”? In this episode, Dr. Catherine Toon reveals how God’s love has already named you worthy—and why your deepest dreams still matter to Him. In part two of the God’s Dreams, Your Dreams: Is God That Good? series, Catherine goes after the religious lie that you have a “sinful nature” and shows from Scripture that your true identity in Christ is rooted in original innocence, not original sin. Before the foundation of the world, God chose you, joined Himself to you, and marked you with love (Ephesians 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:9–10). You’re not an accident, and you’re not an afterthought—you are the “poema” of God (Ephesians 2:10), His handcrafted poetry and the very fabric of His delight. Walking through Romans 8:28–30, Catherine unpacks what it really means to be foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified—not as a harsh sorting of who’s in and who’s out, but as the revelation of a God who refuses to abandon His kids. This is spiritual healing at the root level: God dismantles shame, exposes the voice of accusation, and invites you into spiritual transformation by awakening you to who you’ve always been in Him. You’ll discover how a playful, dancing God (Proverbs 8) has always delighted in you; how He planted desires, destiny, and good works in you to walk out; and how discovering your identity in God frees you from the torment of unworthiness and overcoming spiritual shame. As you agree with God’s verdict over you—beloved, holy, worthy—you begin to live like it, and sin loses its grip.

Transcribe →EP #313 - God’s Dreams for You | Identity in Christ & Your Heart’s Desires
Jan 1400:58:28Tap to summarizeGod’s love is better than you’ve been told—and His goodness is the key to your God-given dreams. In this powerful episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine dismantles religious lies about God and reveals a Father who only gives good and perfect gifts, never evil or punishment in disguise. So many of us have been taught to fear our desires, to distrust our hearts, and to wonder if God is secretly against us. Catherine walks us through James 1 and other key scriptures to show that God is never the source of temptation, shame, or destruction—He is the Father of lights, with no shadow of turning. From there, she explores how our true identity in Christ is good, holy, and beloved, even while we’re still a “work in process.” You’ll hear how sin is really a distorted image problem that leads to behaviors that bring death—but your original design in Christ is untouched, rooted in eternal love. Out of that identity, God has planted dreams in you that reflect His heart. He actually wants you to enjoy life, to experience heaven on earth, and to walk in spiritual transformation as you partner with Him. Catherine also shares how a playful, dancing God (Proverbs 8) delights in you, gives you “richly all things to enjoy,” and invites you into a lifestyle of experiencing God in everyday desires, choices, and dreams. This isn’t performance-based religion—it’s awakened sonship and daughterhood. Practical takeaway: Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one deep desire you’ve secretly doubted. Write it down, renounce the lie that God is against it, and pray: “Father, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this area of my life.” Then listen for how He wants to walk it out with you.

Transcribe →EP #312 - Love Is the Long Game | Healing the Lie of Separation with Jason Clark
Jan 701:02:41Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever felt far from God, afraid you’ll “miss His will,” or exhausted by a transactional, try-harder Christianity, this conversation will minister deep healing. In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine and returning guest Jason Clark (Rethinking God with Tacos) dive into the tender, transformative truth that love is the long game—and that the lie of separation is losing its grip.

Transcribe →EP #311 - The God Who Is Better Than You Think | Pieter Zwart on the Father’s Heart
Dec 3000:57:26Tap to summarizeWhat if God isn’t who religion told you He is? What if He’s far better—more loving, more merciful, more trustworthy—than you’ve ever dared to believe? In this heartfelt episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Pieter Zwart, founder of Foundation for Life in the Netherlands, shares his powerful journey into the revelation of the Father’s heart of God. After a near-death experience and years of ministry, Pieter began asking hard questions: If God is good, why do we see so much judgment, fear, and punishment in the Bible? As the Holy Spirit led him beyond old paradigms, Pieter discovered a transforming truth—God is exactly like Jesus, and His love is better than we thought. Through stories of personal breakthrough, family restoration, and a renewed vision for the Church in Europe, Pieter and Catherine explore: * How seeing God as a loving Father changes everything * Why we can’t be better parents than God is * How love—not fear—leads people to transformation * The shift from striving faith to resting in Christ’s faithfulness * Why the gospel is not a threat but a declaration of belonging This conversation will leave you free from fear, anchored in grace, and awakened to the reality that you were never separated from Love. “If the accusation is that the God I preach is too good to be true—I can live with that.” – Pieter Zwart * Key Scriptures: Luke 10:13, John 17:6, Acts 17:28, 1 John 4:18, Ephesians 2:8–9 Contact Pieter: Website: https://foundation4life.nl/ YouTube: @foundation4lifenl Facebook: @PieterZwart If this blessed you: • Subscribe for more conversations on God’s love, identity in Christ, and inner healing • Share this with a friend who needs hope today • Explore Catherine’s resources & community for next-step support Exhausted and worn out?

Transcribe →EP #257 - Stirring Up “Your” Unstoppable!
Dec 17, 202400:28:34Tap to summarizeThe world is rife with fear, turmoil, confusion and instability. Much is being shaken under its own weight: things sourced in temporal things with confused or frankly wicked agendas. But God, Love Himself, is relentless in His redemptive process. His shaking is designed to shake off what is in us and the world that is not eternal and not sourced in Him. He is unstoppable in this. This makes us unstoppable as we operate from our oneness with Him, laying down what is not of Love/Him, identifying with who we truly are in Him.
