Ep 593 – No Crime in Sin: An Interview with the Fearless Kristy Johnson

September 12, 2019 / Glenn Ostlund / 0 Comments

Glenn and Tom sit down with Kristy Johnson to discuss her documentary “No Crime in Sin,” which tells the story of Kristy’s sexual abuse at the hands of her CES Leader and BYU Teacher father; how the Mormon church swept it all under the rug; how Kristy and two of her siblings confronted their father 30 years after the fact, and what this has all meant for Kristy and her siblings today. Kristy shares her healing process and how it now feels to live a life free of fear.

“No Crime in Sin” is streaming now on Amazon Prime.

Ep 573 – The Enneagram with Carole Whittaker, P1

March 11, 2019 / Glenn Ostlund / 0 Comments

Today Glenn sits down with Carole Whittaker, a teacher on the Enneagram (which is a fascinating tool for personality typing). Carole experienced a crisis of faith from her Catholic upbringing while she earned a PhD in Chemistry and began seeing that life outside her cultural faith bubble was different that what she had previously believed. After some great personal challenges, Carole experienced a spiritual reawakening, and the Enneagram played an important role. Part one of this conversation explores Carole’s background and story of faith crisis. Part two goes into more depth on the Enneagram and the neurological habits we develop that color the different ways we view and experience the world. It is a fascinating two-part series. Enjoy.

Ep 572: God over Good with Luke Norsworthy

March 3, 2019 / Glenn Ostlund / 0 Comments

What if you dedicated your life to a certain direction. You put all your eggs in one basket, and then came to the stark realization that not only is the basket not really a basket, but maybe your eggs aren’t even really eggs?

Sound familiar at all?

Luke Norsworthy is a Christian Pastor who experienced a faith crisis when he saw that the Bible and his expectations of God didn’t really stack up against reality. Luke recently wrote about his faith crisis in the book God over Good. Luke also runs a weekly podcast called Newsworthy with Norsworthy and is a 7 on the Enneagram. Just like me. Enjoy!

Ep 567 – Making Space for Me in a Hostile World, P1

January 28, 2019 / Glenn Ostlund / 0 Comments

How can you hold on to those things that are most important while discarding the things that harm you? Today Glenn sits down with long time friend Tami Whiting to discuss her INCREDIBLE book “Making Space for Me.” Tami lived a very rough life, found community in unexpected places, and then eventually had to walk away. That description does not do her story justice. You just have to hear it to believe it.
