You don’t lack discipline — you lack a pause. In this episode, we unpack dopamine, habit loops, and how to interrupt the patterns quietly shaping your life.

What if the most dangerous thing about your faith isn’t doubt—but familiarity? In Episode 97 of Called & Curious, we explore why Jesus was amazed by faith and unbelief, how calling often looks foolish before it looks faithful, and why hesitation is quietly shaping who we’re becoming. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who loves Jesus but feels stalled, stuck, or spiritually bored.

What if the way life feels isn’t life itself—but the hood your brain learned to wear?

In this episode of Called & Curious, we explore Life in the Hood: a neuroscience-informed, faith-integrated framework for understanding the mental models that shape how we see ourselves, others, and God. You’ll discover the six common hoods we wear, why they’re adaptive (not flaws), and how awareness can change your experience from the inside out.

This episode includes a brand-new quiz, practical Love Move resets, and a playful invitation to notice when your hood is up—and choose when to lower it.

What if the thing that feels exhausting right now isn’t a sign to stop—but a sign it’s actually working?

If you’re craving a year that feels more peaceful, grounded, and aligned, this conversation is for you.

Positive affirmations can feel encouraging—but they don’t always lead to real change. In this episode, we explore why God’s truth does what positivity can’t: it renews the mind, rewires the brain, and transforms how we live. Through neuroscience, Scripture, and powerful stories, we unpack how to take thoughts captive, replace lies with truth, and experience lasting peace in mind, body, and spirit.

What if the problem isn’t your circumstances—but what you’re aware of while you’re in them?
In this episode, we explore why the same moment can feel overwhelming one day and peaceful the next—and what faith and neuroscience reveal about attention, presence, and experiencing God’s peace. Learn how awareness changes experience and how to practice it in real life.
