Happy Sunday!

We are rebroadcasting another episode that originally aired January 2025. As we are settling into this year of 2026, some may have already dropped off of their new year goals.

In this episode, we continue to read Genesis 1 with a focus on verse 3. We are thinking of how God might be inviting us to create and exercise an authority using the words “let there be”.

Tune into this episode as we contemplate an invitation to create and establish while considering what is required of us to implement, maintain, and protect those creations from sabotage.

Happy 2026!

We are back, somewhat! Today, we are rebroadcasting an episode that aired in January 2025. We hope you find this content still useful as we are 6 weeks into this next year of 2026.

We are planning to bring new content to you soon! In the meantime, take a listen as we study Genesis 1:1-3 and ponder if God is inviting the creative parts of ourselves to create in the emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, or some combination of all of these - places that might feel empty, dark, or without form.

Happy Sunday!

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society. This episode discusses the last two consequences, rupturing relationships and scapegoating, of breaching the limitations God gives us. We focus on what’s happening in society in Genesis 3:7-13.

Tune into this episode as we discuss how rupturing and blaming contribute to regression in societal emotional processes. Instead of trusting in the grace of God, we find ourselves blaming others as a way to avoid personal responsibility when we have been found guilty of rupturing relationships. How might we deny ourselves and practice the discipline of self-denial as a way of healing society of its regressive condition?

Happy Sunday!

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society. This episode discusses hiding and what could be happening in Genesis 3:7-10 between Adam and Eve. And also, between God and them.

We still hold in our minds Leviticus 23:26-29 concerning the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We consider how self indulging versus self-denial contributes to the regressive state of society.

Tune into this episode as we discuss how hiding contribute to regression in societal emotional processes. We fear condemnation due to our differences and poor decision making instead of being met with grace. Maybe if we can practice self-denial and choose grace toward ourselves and others when we recognize our differences and realize we have done things we knew we were not supposed to do, perhaps we can push back on some of the regression in society.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society, especially as it relates to the consequences of violating limitations.

We still hold in our minds Leviticus 23:26-29 concerning the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We consider how self indulging versus self-denial contributes to the regressive state of society.

Tune into this episode as we also look at Genesis 3:1-10 to understand what happened in society when the limitations God established were violated. We specially identify four consequences: fear, hiding, rupture, and blaming/scapegoating.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mo further discusses societal emotional process and the regression that is found in today’s society.

We delve further into Leviticus 23:26-29 about the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We define key terms and concepts to understand what is to happen during the Day of Atonement from the original language.

Tune into this episode as we also look at Genesis 2:15-17 to understand what happened when society was first established by God Himself. We see that while God gave Adam free access, He also established limitations.

Do we identify limitations? Do we acknowledge limitations? How might God be inviting us to heal the society in regression by recognizing limitations and exercising them?

Happy Sunday!

We are back after a break from recording. In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses new revelations and insights from the Holy Spirit during this brief hiatus. She shares reflections during the observance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Some of these reflections include thinking more about how psychology and theology intersect especially toward the healing of our society. Also, Dr. Mo introduces the concept of societal emotional process and how we understand that our society is in a regressive state. She helps us to identify some of the characteristics of a regressive society.

Tune in to this episode as Dr. Mo reads from Leviticus 23:26-29 about the Day of Atonement, how it is to be observed, and how it includes self-denial. We will start thinking about our individual and collective responsibility to rebuilding our society and healing the land.
