In this episode, co-hosts Mark and Justin explore the idea that our strengths and weaknesses are often intertwined. They delve into the concept of "The Stick" - the notion that the weakness that accompanies our strengths is like a stick, meant to keep us humble and grounded. In typical “How I See It” style, we examine how our strengths can bring perspective to our weaknesses and how we can learn to embrace both in order to grow and succeed, ultimately learning to keep the stick balanced. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode to gain a new perspective on your own strengths and weaknesses.

As society continues to embrace and promote gender self-identification, we are beginning to see a new era of gender confusion and second-order consequences. In this episode, we discuss what acceptance can look like, the struggles we have with accepting those not like us and advocate for the ability to empathize with both sides of the conversation.
Through this episode, our co-hosts aim to promote compassion and empathy, regardless of an individual's gender identity, and as always, to encourage healthy and respectful conversations.

Today we'll be diving into our brains, and discussing relatively recent scientific findings. Neural pathways are the connections between different neurons in our brains, and they're responsible for everything from our thoughts and emotions to our behaviors and habits. Neural plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt these neural pathways in response to new experiences and learning. This means that we have the ability to shape our own brains and change the way we think and behave. Where does God fit into all this? Join us and find out how we see it.

In this episode, we're inspired by the ongoing spiritual awakening happening through events across the country, all triggered by a 2-week long chapel service at Asbury University. We talk about what makes this current move special, and some of its defining characteristics. And finally, we discuss the meaning of revival, and how it can be a deeply intimate, personal, and private occurrence, just as much as it can be a shared public experience.

Inspired by the Brené Brown talk, "The Power of Vulnerability", Mark and Justin discuss the many facets and unintuitively powerful nature of vulnerability. This word is often associated with weakness and abuse and therefore avoided at all costs. We would rather live in private shame than openly admit our struggles, but often this vulnerability is the key to unlocking incredible strength and change. Join us as we try to tip the balance in favor of this important virtue.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary chose the term "Gaslighting" as its 2022 word of the year as it was searched on their website 1,740% more in 2022 than in the previous year.
"In this age of misinformation—of 'fake news,' conspiracy theories, Twitter trolls, and deepfakes—gaslighting has emerged as a word for our time."
Today on How I See It, we discuss this term—how it's come to be used and abused in our culture, how we can recognize its effects in our own lives, and work to eliminate its telltale signs from our conversations.

Get ready for a heartwarming and festive conversation on this special Christmas episode of 'How I See It'. We take a break from our regular schedule to share some of our favorite holiday memories and traditions and look into the joyful yet sometimes conflicting messages of the season.
At the center of the celebrations are 2 distinct figures: Santa Claus and Jesus Christ. In this episode, we will explore the tension between the cultural icon of Santa and the significance of Jesus' birth as a source of hope and joy for all believers. Can we find a way to strike a balance in our celebrations, or does the emphasis on Santa cause difficulties?
Thanks for listening, and from both of us at "How I See It", we wish you a Merry Christmas!
