Part 2 - What if the very thing you’re ashamed of… is the place where God wants to meet you?

In this episode of The Truth Seeker’s Guide, host Felipe Aristizabal sits down with Chad Bird — theologian, Hebrew scholar, and author of Limping with God and The Christ Key — to uncover a powerful truth:

God doesn’t choose people because they’re perfect.
He chooses them because they’re real.

Together, we explore how the story of Jacob reveals God’s heart for broken people — those who wrestle, fail, and still refuse to let go. Chad explains how grace transforms weakness into strength, how failure can become formation, and why the limp is the mark of those who have truly encountered God.

This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever asked:
• “Can God still use me after I’ve fallen?”
• “How can I heal from shame and start again?”
• “What does true spiritual transformation look like?”

It’s time to discover that your scars don’t disqualify you — they tell your story of redemption.

Ep 38 Part 2

If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, burnout, mood swings, or fatigue — and you’ve prayed, journaled, and “done the work” but still feel off — this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Nicole Cain, a holistic doctor and mental health expert, reveals how your gut health, hormones, and nervous system play a major role in your emotional well-being. You’ll learn how your body and brain are deeply connected — and how healing isn’t just mental, it’s biological.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

•The science behind the gut-brain connection

•How hormonal imbalances can trigger anxiety and stress

•Natural, research-based ways to support mood, sleep, and peace of mind

•How understanding your body can help you align with your true purpose

•Why holistic health is about wholeness — not “woo-woo”

This isn’t New Age — it’s neuroscience, psychology, and holistic medicine working together to help you understand how God designed your body for healing. 🌿

If you want to overcome anxiety naturally, balance your hormones, and finally feel like yourself again, hit play — and discover what’s truly happening beyond the brain.
