EP #309 - Banishing the “I Am Nots” | Baxter Kruger on Healing Shame & Discovering Your True Self - Audio
What if every “I am not enough,” “I am unworthy,” or “I am unloved” whisper could be silenced by the voice of Jesus within you? In this revelatory episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, theologian and author Dr. C. Baxter Kruger unpacks how the lies of shame and separation shape our souls—and how Christ’s “I AM” restores us to wholeness.
Baxter shares life-changing insights from his soul diagram and Trinitarian theology, explaining how evil plants the lie of “I am not” early in our pain, and how Jesus descends into our darkness to rewrite our story from within. Through vivid stories of healing, scripture reflections, and practical questions like “Jesus, are You in me?” and “What are my ‘I am nots'?" Baxter and Catherine lead us into a deeply personal encounter with the indwelling Christ.
Discover how identity in Christ dismantles religion’s striving, and how hearing God’s voice within restores security, belonging, and joy. Learn how to recognize the Father’s goodness, the Spirit’s companionship, and the freedom that comes when shame and striving fall away.
“There is no place in our being deeper than the union of the Father, Son, and Spirit with us.” – Baxter Kruger
Experience the reality that you are already included, already loved, already whole. Let Jesus reinterpret your life and reveal the ways you’ve been sharing His divine life all along.

EP #308 - Spiritual Transformation | Eldering Well with David Tensen - Audio
In this rich conversation, poet-chaplain David Tensen and Catherine explore what true eldering looks like in an age hungry for maturity, belonging, and wisdom. David encourages mature believers to embrace the challenge of authentic eldering through intentional decentering. This means decentering anything that demands center-stage - including ourselves, the ways we see God, the need to be constantly heard, our knowledge, denial of death, and materialism.
David names the ache of a lack of eldering for so many, especially in the west. We’ve become long-lived, prosperous, information saturated, yet elder-poor. He invites us into practices that form “big, generous (fat) souls”—people who listen deeply, companion others, and make others feel safe, seen, and not judged. When we decenter our need to be heard, we create room for inner healing and spiritual transformation to unfold in those we love.
David also discusses “decentering God”—not removing God, but moving our limited ideas of God out of the way so we can perceive God more and more accurately. Here we can see Trinity in a perichoretic dance—space at the center, room for wonder, union, and identity in Christ that doesn’t crowd out others.
Also discussed is “recentering death” by facing death honestly. When we decenter our denial, we live truer, love stronger, and bless the generations.

EP #306 - How Divine Love Restores Original Identity | Rachael Cannon - Audio
Identity in Christ changes everything—and encounter with Divine Love does just that—restoring original innocence, healing the heart and mind, and revealing who you’ve always been.
Raised around church but wrestling with shame and addiction that resulted in multiple incarcerations, Rachael Cannon encountered Love Himself and everything shifted. In this tender conversation, Catherine and Rachael explore how encountering God as Love reframes our past and awakens our original identity—not earned by performance, but received in His love. Divine Love doesn’t just forgive—He restores true identity and imprints us with belonging, purpose, and joy. One moment of encountering Love can reset a lifetime of lies.
Rachael shares about being “seen and claimed” by the Father and how that encounter launched a powerful journey of spiritual healing where she learned that she could live from Love and walk in massive freedom, and rest! This launched her into ministering to others within and outside prison bringing hope, healing and a divine reset for others struggling with intense bondage.

EP #305 - From Judgment to Joy: Living as God’s Beloved | Felicia Murrell - Audio
God’s love heals the deepest places. Discover identity in Christ, inner healing, and how to hear God without fear.
What if disruption is actually an invitation from Love to begin again? In this heartfelt conversation, Catherine Toon and author Felicia Murrell explore how God’s love restores our true identity, calms our nervous system, and leads us into spiritual healing and wholeness. You’ll learn practical ways to move from self-judgment to compassion, from suspicion to curiosity, and from striving to experiencing God in the present moment.
Felicia shares rich wisdom on listening to your body (“I am your body, and I want you to know…”) and how kindness helps us drop from fight/flight into peace. Together we unpack living from the Tree of Life instead of the knowledge of good and evil, holding both our ontological oneness and our beautiful differences—without diminishing anyone.
Scripture threads include: Psalm 139 (God’s intimate design), Zephaniah 3:17 (Love sings over you), Luke 15 (coming to ourselves and turning toward home), and Ephesians 2:10 (God’s workmanship—His poem). The takeaway: when the “only way forward is toward,” we can move toward God, toward each other, and even toward our own hearts with grace.
Practical application: Try Felicia’s prompt: “I am your body, and I want you to know…”—write unedited for 5 minutes. Notice what Love highlights. Ask: “Holy Spirit, what’s the most loving thing I can do right now?” This simple shift nurtures Christian identity, deepens spiritual transformation, and helps you hear God’s voice in everyday life.
