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?

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!  Information for Dr. Mo https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/ Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”: https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1 Follow us on social media:  https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8 Support And The Church Said: Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid

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?  Information for Dr. Mo https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/ Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”: https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1 Follow us on social media:  https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8 Support And The Church Said: Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid

Happy Sunday! Dr. Mo thinks this series "It is Finished" is finished. However, stay tuned.  She discusses Philippians 3:10 and adds to the focus John 19:30 for today’s episode. She focuses on the three infamous words uttered by Jesus “it is finished.”  Dr. Mo links this saying of Jesus back to the neuroscience and Philippians 3:10 as she thinks about how our bodies must finish the trauma response when it is started.  Dr. Mo discusses how our bodies are already created with the universal response needed to bring them to safety and growth after trauma experiences.  We continue to delve into the data from Dr. Aimee's book "The Biology of Trauma", as we walk through the essential sequence needed to begin the healing work:  safety, support, and expansion.  Today, we dive into the expansion component of the essential sequence.  Expansion must not be rushed. It is not an intellectual exercise. It is experiential. It must be consistent. It must not be entered into until regulation and stability is firmly established.  Tune into this episode as we discuss how to think about the ways God invites us into knowing the power of His Resurrection.  How do we think about God’s invitation to rise to life by moving from surviving to living and declaring along with Jesus, “IT IS FINISHED”?

Happy Resurrection Day! Dr. Mo continues to expound upon Philippians 3:10.  She focuses on the 2nd part of that verse by pondering what does it mean for us to know the power of resurrection. How do we move from understanding the close association with Jesus and suffering to knowing the power of rising to life? Especially when we have suffered betrayal, bruising, and beatings, both psychologically and physically.  Tune in to this episode as we think about God’s invitation to rise to life and to know His power after we have experienced traumas and sufferings in our lives.

Happy Sunday!  On this last Sunday in March, Palm Sunday, we are culminating our anniversary celebration of six years of the  “And The Church Said” podcast! Dr. Mo has been celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo’s hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear and how she has come to understand her close association with the sufferings of Jesus.  Dr. Mo reads from Philippians 3:10 and Luke 22:39-46. She discusses when we anticipate doing the will of God we can experience anxiety and anguish. Especially when we are doing really difficult things. Just like Jesus as He prepared to go to the Cross.  Tune in to this episode as we think about how God might be inviting us into fellowship with Him through our sufferings.  Information for Dr. Gadson https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/ Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”: https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1 Follow us on social media:  https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8 Support And The Church Said: Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid

Happy Sunday!  We are still celebrating six years of the  “And The Church Said” podcast! 🎉🎉 Dr. Mo is celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo’s hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear.  Dr. Mo reads from Exodus 3:6-12 and compares her journey with Moses as they both question God by asking “who am I”.  She quotes Dr. Aimie Apigian in her book the “Biology of Trauma” as she explains how our fears and past traumas can cause us to not feel adequate to do the work of God. Dr. Aimee states “emotional pain that feels unbearable is processed as an inescapable life threat. Social rejection and shame can exceed our capacity just as quickly as the physical dangers of an oncoming car.” Tune in to this episode as we think about how God called Moses back to himself, back to God, and back to the place where he fled because of traumatic life experiences. During this season of Lent, think about how God might be inviting you in ways that seem confusing but are possibly redeeming.  Information for Dr. Gadson https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/ Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”: https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1 Follow us on social media:  https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8 Support And The Church Said: Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid
