    Journeying Alone Toward Expansion
    2026/08/03


    Happy Sunday!

    Dr. Mo briefly reviews our VBS "Valiantly Becoming Self" - series and discusses how God called her to a season (which is still ongoing) of solo recording for the podcast without guests.

    Dr. Mo shares how God revealed to her that she was more focused on validation than obedience when she invited guests to the podcast. The obedience to solo podcasting was to form her into the purposes God has for her and that required going a direction that personally felt vulnerable and difficult.

    Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo talks about how in Exodus 2:15 Moses fled from his difficult past to the desert and after "a long time", he has an encounter with God that will call him back to the place from which he fled. How might God be calling us to place to "rise to life", KNOWING the power of Resurrection, especially when called to places we have left?

    VBS SERIES: Valiantly Becoming Self - Day 5
    2026/08/01


    Happy Friday!

    Dr. Mo opens the doors of the church this week for the summer series VBS! This time, VBS is not for Vacation Bible School, rather it stands for "Valiantly Becoming Self"

    Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". Today, on our last night of VBS, we talk about Dr. Aimee's advice to us about shifting the way we speak to ourselves and learning to stay in the present moment.

    Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo will give tips on how to continue to practice living in expansion and toward expansion. We have to think about it as practicing a new instrument. We have to practice our new skills and insights when we reach the expansion phase, as we practice "rising to life". We can KNOW the power of Resurrection.

    What I Got versus What I Expected: Post Pentecost Thoughts on Power and Expansion
    2026/06/03


    Happy Tuesday!

    Dr. Mo opens the doors of the church for a post Pentecost thought as she meditates on Acts 3:1-10. She discusses how the lame man had expectation of one thing and received a life altering and expansive gift!

    Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". She reflects on her journey of learning why she was so hesitant to do the podcast and how with the help of the Holy Spirit through therapy, she can now KNOW power of Resurrection in her life. She expected one thing and received the path toward expansion.

    Tune in to this episode as we think about how we can rise to life by asking ourselves what holds us back as Dr. Mo did concerning her hesitation to do the podcast. God's power is waiting on us to do expansive things although the path might be difficult and uncomfortable. The Holy Spirit has come to walk with us through our healing journeys.

  • It is Finished! Power to Expand

    It is Finished! Power to Expand
    2026/05/25

    Happy Pentecost Sunday!

    This series "It is Finished" is finished!

    Dr. Mo wraps this series by discussing how the power of the Holy Spirit rests upon us as it did back on the day of Pentecost. She continues to meditate on Philippians 3:10 and John 19:30. and Acts 1:4-5.

    Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". As we develop the capacities to expand our psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, we get to experience the power to rise to life. Dr. Aimee teaches us that we experience more self-awareness, greater capacities, and a better view of possibilities for the future.

    Tune in to this episode as we think about how we can rise to life by asking ourselves what holds us back as Dr. Mo did concerning her hesitation to do the podcast. We have permission to ask ourselves what makes us come alive and to experience Resurrection power in our lives until we too are caught up to meet Him in the air!

  • It is Finished! Yet, we wait

    It is Finished! Yet, we wait
    2026/05/17

    Happy Sunday!

    Dr. Mo thought this series "It is Finished" was finished. Yet, it was not. As she waited on the Lord to reveal to her where she had a "spiritual pause", the Holy Spirit did guide with additional insights.

    She continues to meditate on Philippians 3:10 and John 19:30. For today's episode, we read Acts 1:4-5 as we think of the Ascension of Jesus. Dr. Mo expounds on how Jesus instructed the disciples to wait for the Father's promise. She discusses how we have opportunities to know the power of Resurrection within us and yet there are times along the journey, we must still wait for God's promise.

    Tune in to this episode as we think about having to be patient with the process of finishing trauma responses in our bodies. Dr. Aimee, author of the "Biology of Trauma" reminds us we must pace ourselves through the process of completing trauma responses in our bodies. It will not work the same for everyone. And for some, it might not work at all. What do we do in and with the wait? Might it be an invitation of the Holy Spirit to expand our psychological, emotional, and spiritual capacities?
