  Voices from the Desert

  Recovering ourselves, a look at trauma and healing through the GROW method.

  Mar 23, 202646 min

  We often live life from the bottom-up or outside-in, rather than living from within. Our bodies inform our emotions, and our spiritual growth, rather than living from the inside out with a settled emotional core. How do we go from a dis-regulated lifestyle to integration with the Father's heart? How do we actually become like Jesus? Join Joshua Hoffert as he interviews Ron Huxley. Ron is a MFT, creator of the Trauma Toolbox, and is anticipating the release of his new book, The GROW Reset.

  The Shaping of a Worldview: an interview with David Takle

  Feb 17, 20261h 38m

  Most Christian worldview discussions focus on doctrine or biblical theology. Rarely do they address the foundational assumptions shaping how we see the world. As has been said, "The problem with having a worldview is having a worldview." Voices from the Desert welcomes David Takle from Kingdom Formation to talk about how our worldviews are shaped. David breaks down how the west's focus on belief and doctrine over belonging and relational intimacy has led to a watered-down gospel, producing Christians who are unaware of their true identity and purpose. Tune in to join the discussion!
