The Lies That Keep You Stuck (And the Truth That Sets You Free) with Father Jason Brooks

Season 1 · Episode 40

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 01:01:02

What if the biggest thing keeping you stuck isn't your circumstances, but the lies you've unknowingly believed about yourself?

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Fr. Jason Brooks, priest, Encounter School of Ministry graduate, and founder of the Regnum Christi Detroit Healing Ministry, to explore how false beliefs shape our lives and how Jesus wants to heal them.

Together we discuss:

✨ Why renewing your mind is essential to spiritual transformation
✨ The subtle lies the enemy wants every Christian to believe
✨ How childhood experiences often shape false identities
✨ The difference between guilt and shame—and why it matters
✨ Why people-pleasing is often rooted in fear rather than virtue
✨ How to identify and renounce lies using prayer
✨ The truth about your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God
✨ Mary's example of receiving God's love and walking in truth
✨ Practical prayers you can begin praying today

Fr. Jason also shares his own healing journey, how Encounter School transformed his priesthood, and closes our conversation with a beautiful prayer asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the lies that keep us from living in freedom.

Should Christians Practice Yoga? Catholic Author Linda Carl Shares Why She Walked Away

Season 1 · Episode 39

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 01:04:03

Many Christians believe yoga is simply stretching or exercise—but is that the whole story?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Linda Carl, author of Yoga Unveiled, former yoga instructor, and faithful Catholic, for an eye-opening conversation about yoga's spiritual roots and why it isn't compatible with the Christian faith.

As someone who spent years immersed in yoga, Reiki, eastern meditation, and New Age spirituality before encountering Jesus Christ, this conversation was especially meaningful to me. Linda and I share parts of our own journeys, discuss what ultimately led us away from these practices, and explain why true peace is found in Christ alone.

Whether you've practiced yoga yourself, have loved ones who do, or have simply wondered what the Catholic Church teaches, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope.

In this episode we discuss:

Linda's journey from "sacramentalized but not catechized" Catholic to passionate disciple of Christ
Why yoga is much more than physical exercise
The Hindu roots of yoga and the true meaning behind many common poses, chants, and practices
The spiritual dangers of Reiki, chakras, Kundalini yoga, and other New Age practices
Why so many Christians unknowingly mix their faith with New Age spirituality
How Jesus offers a peace the world can never give
Practical steps for anyone who wants to leave yoga or New Age practices behind
The beauty of the sacraments, confession, prayer, and authentic Christian healing

Whole and Holy Friendships

Season 1 · Episode 30

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 17:50

In this inspiring solo episode, I reflect on the beauty and purpose of whole and holy friendships. Inspired by a recent birthday gathering with close Catholic friends, I share how authentic, Christ-centered community can become a pathway to deeper intimacy with God.

We dive into Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints to explore why friendship is not only a gift, but part of God’s design for our flourishing. I also share the powerful story of how The Holy Spirit orchestrated an unexpected friendship through a silent retreat and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In this episode, we discuss:

What makes a friendship whole and holy
How holy friendships help us grow in virtue and holiness
The fruits of the Spirit as a reflection of healthy friendships
Why true friendship requires honesty, vulnerability, and growth
How God uses friendships to draw us closer to Him

Scripture & Catechism referenced:

Matthew 18:20
Romans 12:5
CCC 374
CCC 384
CCC 2347

Ultimately, whole and holy friendships allow us to be deeply seen, known, and loved.

“There's nothing on this earth more prized than true friendship.” — St. Thomas Aquinas

The Pace of Grace: Breaking Free From Hustle and Hurry

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 16:27

We’ve been told that exhaustion is normal. That being “busy” is just part of life.
That rushing, hustling, and constantly doing more is the only way forward.

But what if that’s not true?

In this episode of the Living Whole and Holy Podcast, I invite you to reconsider the pace of your life through the lens of the Gospel. While Jesus lived a full and mission-driven life, He was never hurried, never frantic, and never disconnected from the Father.

So what did He know that we don’t?

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in a cycle of busyness, this episode will help you rediscover a more peaceful, Christ-centered way of living, the pace of grace.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why busyness has become a false badge of honor
The difference between being busy and living in a state of hurry
How hurry impacts your relationship with God and others
Why Jesus was never rushed—even with a full mission
The root of hustle culture and performance-based identity
How your schedule reflects what you truly value
4 Disciplines Jesus Modeled for an Unhurried Life
Practical Ways to Live at the Pace of Grace

Scripture Mentioned

• Mark 1:35 — Jesus withdraws to pray
• Matthew 14:23 — Jesus prays alone on the mountain
• Mark 5:22–43 — Jairus’ daughter
• John 11 — Lazarus
• Mark 4:38 — Jesus rests in the storm
• Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to me… and I will give you rest”

When you live from identity rooted in Christ instead of striving, from prayer instead of pressure, and from trust instead of urgency, your entire life begins to shift.

Being Seen: Seeing Ourselves and Others with Eucharistic Eyes

Season 1 · Episode 27

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 • Duration 20:54

One of the deepest desires of the human heart is not just to be noticed, but to be truly seen.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a recent silent retreat at the Sacred Heart Retreat House and share how healing often begins not by doing more, but by allowing ourselves to be fully seen by God.

Together, we explore what it means to be seen by the Holy Trinity, how the Eucharist teaches us to see ourselves and others rightly, and how Catholic coaching creates space for deeper healing, renewed identity, and transformation.

If you’ve been stuck in performance, burn out, self-doubt, people-pleasing, comparison, or fear of vulnerability, this episode is an invitation to let Jesus meet you there.

When we allow Christ to heal the lens through which we see, everything begins to change.

In This Episode I Discuss

• Why one of the deepest human desires is to be truly seen
• The difference between performance-based identity and identity rooted in Christ
• What it means to have “Eucharistic eyes”
• How the Eucharist transforms the way we see ourselves, others, and God
• Why renewing the mind is essential for healing and spiritual growth
• How Catholic coaching helps uncover false beliefs and create lasting transformation
• The power of compassion, forgiveness, and surrender in relationships

Scripture Mentioned

• Psalm 139:1 — “Lord, you have searched me and you know me”
• Genesis 16:13 — Hagar: “You are the God who sees me”
• John 4 — The Woman at the Well
• Luke 24:30–31 — The Road to Emmaus
• Romans 12:2 — Renewing of the mind
• 2 Corinthians 5:17 — A new creation in Christ
• Matthew 9:36 — Moved with compassion
• 1 John 4:19 — We love because He first loved us
• 1 John 4:18 — Perfect love casts out fear
• Psalm 51:10 — Create in me a clean heart

From Salvation Army to the Sacraments: Karen Estep’s Catholic Conversion Story

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 01:00:48

In this week's episode, I’m joined by fellow podcaster, Catholic writer, teacher, and convert, Karen Estep, host of Stand Kneel Now What?

Karen shares her powerful journey from being raised in the Salvation Army and Methodist traditions to entering the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2022. We talk about the grief that can come with leaving a church community, the beauty of the Mass, confession, the Eucharist, the saints, and what it really means to persevere when God is calling you deeper.

Karen opens up about the struggles, objections, and moments of grace that shaped her conversion—including her love for St. Mary Magdalene, her reflections on confession, and why becoming Catholic isn't for the faint of heart.

This episode is full of honesty, encouragement, and hope for anyone discerning the Catholic faith or walking through their own conversion journey.

From Wounds to Freedom: Inner Healing Through Christ with Kia Bakunawa

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 01:07:14

What if the healing you’ve been searching for is found in inviting Jesus into your wounds?

In this transformative episode, I’m joined by Kia Bakunawa, family nurse practitioner, Encounter School of Ministry leader, and a woman deeply rooted in her Catholic faith.

Together, we dive into the powerful and often overlooked topic of inner healing through Christ—and why true freedom doesn’t come from striving, but from inviting Jesus into our wounds.

Kia shares her personal experiences in both healthcare and ministry, revealing how emotional and spiritual wounds often impact our physical and mental health—and how Jesus desires to heal it all.

We talk about:

What inner healing actually is (and what it’s not)
Why some healing methods fall short without Christ
The role of identity as a beloved daughter of God
How fear blocks healing—and how to overcome it
The power of forgiveness in experiencing true freedom
A powerful testimony of healing from a wounded memory
How Jesus meets us in our pain and speaks truth into our lives

If you’ve tried different healing modalities and still feel stuck, this episode is an invitation to go deeper—with Jesus at the center.

This conversation will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and hopeful about the healing God desires for you.

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 01:04:08

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Fr. Pablo Martinez, a Catholic priest from Madrid now serving in Los Angeles, who shares his incredible journey from skepticism to witnessing undeniable miracles.

Despite years of theological training, Fr. Pablo was initially doubtful about charismatic gifts and healing. But everything changed when he encountered God in a new, deeply personal way through Encounter Ministries.

From witnessing blind eyes opened and bodies healed— to experiencing a physical miracle in his own body—this conversation will stretch your faith and invite you into deeper intimacy with God.

In This Episode we explore:

Fr. Pablo’s journey to the priesthood
Why he was skeptical of healing at first
Powerful miraculous physical healing testimonies (including his own)
How to hear God’s voice in daily life
