How Change Occurs (Part 1)
Feb 19, 202500:59:59Tap to summarizeThis week, Jake and Bob explore the complex process of personal change, what change requires, and why change can seem out of reach. In today’s culture of near instant gratification, it’s easy to think change should and will come about quickly and without much effort. While God can and does work many miracles, the reality is, change takes time, effort, and a lot of grace. Jake and Bob have experienced this in their lives, understand the struggle, and share their GIVE framework as a guide to help you navigate the beautiful and yet painful waters of change. Key Points: Change requires an understanding of the human experience Relationships and community play an important role in personal transformation An open disposition of the heart is key to allowing grace to change us Judgements and beliefs can “block” the grace we receive in the Sacraments from transforming our lives Healing requires personal responsibility, it should not be approached superstitiously God does work miracles and healing can come quickly. But most often healing occurs over time and with consistent engagement GIVE: Grace, Intention, Vision, Equipment Change is often accompanied by suffering and sacrifice Resources: The Huberman Lab Podcast with Jordan Peterson: How to Best Guide Your Life Decisions and Path Diary of a CEO with Jordan Peterson: How to Become the Person You’ve Always Wanted to Be The Huberman Lab: How to Focus to Change Your Brain Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Transcribe →Integrating Faith and Psychiatry w/ Dr. Christin McIntyre
Jan 22, 202501:07:21Tap to summarizeThis week, Jake and Bob are joined by psychiatrist Dr. Christin McIntyre to discuss spiritual warfare and mental health. They discuss the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on human psychology and why learning about how our minds were created to work helps us spiritually and emotionally. Dr. Christin also discusses the importance of hope in prayer, what constrains our ability to love, and the role of repentance in mental health. Key Points: Prayer is transformed when we focus on hope instead of worry When we pray with hopes, we pray for the deep desires of our hearts. Real deep desire is suffering and can feel like Purgatory on earth Fear and anger constrain the heart's ability to love Spiritual warfare principles can provide valuable insights into mental health Both physical surroundings and spiritual beings (whether angelic or demonic) affect mental health Change involves a conscious act of the will and it can take time for our emotions to “feel” the results of these acts Understanding the nature of how our minds were created as human beings helps us navigate emotional challenges and can lead to healing We must cooperate with God’s grace to be transformed Resources: Mount Angel Abbey YouTube Channel Dr. Christin’s Lectures on Thomistic Psychology (Part 1) (Part 2) Introduction to the Science of Mental Health by Fr.

Transcribe →Redemptive Suffering (Part 2)
Nov 13, 202401:10:03Tap to summarizeThis week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation on redemptive suffering. They reflect on the Song of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 53 and how Jesus redeems suffering itself.
