310 - How Leshan Katapodi Went From Physical Fights With His Wife To Six Months Clean and A Thriving Marriage
Today's interview is a special one as we dive deep into a recent recovery story that has taken place in the DeepClean community. Stories like these are important for all of us to hear – it reminds us that God is on the move NOW and that freedom is possible for everyone.
Leshan and his wife were fighting daily, sometimes going days without speaking to each other, and even getting into physical altercations. His patience was thin, temper was high, and porn was driving much of his problemed behavior. Getting professional help felt risky and as he shares in today's interview, Leshan had his doubts, but he knew that something had to change.
With each lesson and session, hope began to rise, until one day his wife remarked that he wasn't short with her the way he usually was. That's when he realized the tide was turning. Six months of freedom later, Leshan and his wife have never been happier, and he feels confident that he will be able to walk further into God's calling on his life.

307 - The Emotional Danger of Psychological Safety
Today's episode explores the unique counter-play between emotional danger and psychological safety. Often we find comfort in the familiar, even when the familiar is toxic and working against us. Sometimes the reason that evoking positive change in your life is so challenging is because it poses as a threat to what we are comfortable with. This irony can often cause us to stay in what's comfortable, even though it is problematic. However, when you become aware of the dynamic, you can find a much better option to handle the changes that come with recovery.

He is the author of several books including Theology For Psychology & Counseling. Prior to teaching at Fuller, Callaway served in pastoral ministry for nearly a decade, focusing primarily on young and emerging adults.
In today's interview, Kutter and Sathiya discuss why scientific research is not absolute, a healthy way for integrating theology and academia, and why good psychology will always enhance one's theology and vice versa. The interview ends with a segment where Sathiya poses a commonplace term like "community" and Kutter explains the concept through both a theological lens and then a psychological lens.
This episode will provide you with a deeper understanding of why many practices in psychology have spiritual significance and some guidance on how to properly perceive academic research in a society that supremely values it.

304 - Turning Instincts Into Habits, Pt.1
While you may think that forming good habits requires brute force, driven-ness, and fighting your inner desires, the truth is that we all possess intuition that has the potential for great habits. If we ignore this intuition, its voice becomes quiet and our bad habits are reinforced. As you heal your heart and learn to value yourself, you will become more sensitive to your own intuition, providing ample opportunity to develop good habits.

303 - If You Could’ve Done It Alone, You Would’ve Already
Many times, we justify our current situation with optimism, positive thoughts, and spiritual jargon. While it can serve a purpose, these guises often stop us from acknowledging the truth – that we cannot accomplish anything significant or great on our own. We need each other, we need support, and we need help. If you need some inspiration and encouragement, this episode will remind you of just how powerful you can be when you step outside of your comfort zone and get the help you deserve.
