A practical discussion where two former therapists share what they learned professionally and experienced personally about the healing and restoration of our Go...
This week, Jake and Bob welcome back Dr. Christin McIntyre, a Thomistic psychiatrist, to discuss the concept of personality disorders. They begin by defining what a personality disorder is and explore how modern culture and social norms can influence and twist this definition. Then, they discuss the interplay between inherited traits, early life experiences, and individual choices in shaping one’s personality. Through the analogy of a sailboat, Dr. Christin also shares how the intellect, will, and emotions are all interconnected and why navigating the waters of healing not only involves the formation of the intellect but also the conforming of our will to God’s. Key Points: A personality disorder is identified by a pervasive pattern of experience and behavior that is abnormal with respect to any two of the following: thinking, mood, personal relations, impulse control (from Dr. Cristina Lynch) Individuals with personality disorders have much hope for change Inner healing is an important aspect of addressing personality disorders Inherited traits, early life experiences, and individual choices all contribute to the development of a personality disorder Healing involves the formation of the intellect and conforming of your will to God Healing is a continuous process, not a one-time event Virtue is essential for true healing and involves habitual good choices Resources: Thomistic Institute of Psychology 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!

Forgiveness & Transformation
This week, Jake and Bob return to an important topic: the healing power of forgiveness. Both Jake and Bob have encountered forgiveness and mercy in their healing journeys and share personal stories about receiving forgiveness and forgiving others. They also discuss why forgiving and forgetting is not possible, how to know if you’ve truly forgiven someone, and how our memories are transformed through the process of forgiveness. Key Points: Forgiveness is essential for healing and spiritual growth Trust is often lost in areas where we have been wounded Fear often surrounds these areas where we have lost trust Forgiveness can transform pain into compassion Unforgiveness hardens our hearts and reduces our ability to receive the love God desires to pour into us Memories can be purified through the process of forgiveness Sin not only wounds those we hurt but also ourselves It is important to also forgive ourselves Resources: Identity Course by Jake Khym (use this link to get 10% off) Trusting Our Father’s Provision by Dr. Bob Schuchts Healing Prayers Booklet 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!

How Change Occurs (Part 2)
This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation and focus on the primary mechanisms of our human nature when it comes to change. We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit, but many times we isolate change and healing to only one part of our nature. While this can lead to some change, when integrated on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level we can experience greater progress. Jake and Bob discuss incremental vs transformational change, how the Sacraments pour out grace into our lives, and share stories of experiencing change in their lives. Key Points: If you want to take care of yourself, you first have to understand yourself We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit and healing largely occurs when we integrate all three There are two types of change: incremental and transformational Incremental change often precedes transformational change Being in relationship with others is a healing experience The Sacraments pour out grace into our lives that aids us in making a change 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!

How Change Occurs (Part 1)
This 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!

Faith that Heals w/ Fr. Mathias Thelen
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. Mathias Thelen, Co-Founder and President of Encounter Ministries and Pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Parish in Brighton. Fr. Mathias shares his story of experiencing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, encountering an advisor who fathered him in Seminary, and experiences of grace that shaped his ministry. Throughout his journey of faith, Fr. Mathias shares stories of physical and emotional healing, explains what charisms are, and why a relationship with God is the most important part of each of our lives. Key Points: To step out in faith is to step out in trust Charisms are gifts of grace given by the Holy Spirit at our Baptism Sharing real life testimonies of healing inspire others to also reach out in faith In healing ministries, remember God’s grace is at work.
