In this episode, Daughter, Your Faith Has Healed You, Jessie DeCorsey and Jade Schultz explore one of the most moving encounters in the Gospels — the woman with the issue of blood who reached out in faith to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Her bold act stopped Him in His tracks, and He spoke the words that still echo today: “Daughter, your faith has healed you.” We also reflect on how this moment of healing is interwoven with another miracle that same day — the raising of Jairus’ daughter. Together, these two stories reveal the compassion of Jesus, His authority over sickness and death, and the incredible power of faith to bring transformation. Join Jessie and Jade for a conversation as they talk about faith, healing, and encountering Jesus in our everyday lives.

In this episode of Talk With Me, I am sitting with Dr. Jim Wilder. I first came across Jim's work as a neurotheologian in 2018 as I embarked on a journey in understanding trauma and inner healing. His books like Renovated, Living From The Heart Jesus Gave You, The Other Half of Church, and Joyful Journey helped give me an understanding of how our brains were created for relational joy and restoration. Growing up as a missionary in Columbia, South America, Jim saw first hand the results of trauma from extreme violence. His passion and education in theology and clinical psychology led him around the world working with people deemed 'untreatable.' He has specialized in making trauma and recovery models that could be brought into war stained countries to equip people who are trained leaders to those with no education whatsoever. In 2023, he and his team brought the Life Model skills for resilience and trauma recovery to four regions of Ukraine. Jim has been training leaders and counselors for over 30 years on five continents, founder of Life Model Works, author of 19 books that teach the importance of relational joy for recovery, healing and thriving.

In this series, Talk With Me, I want to share with you some of the most influential voices that brought me insight into living a life outside of striving, perfectionism and performance. What does this look like in our faith, our relationship with God, others or even ourselves. One of the people that helped me on my journey in answering this question was Chris Coursey. In this conversation, I share the moment Chris helped me work through something I was wrestling with in this area of feeling like I needed to always know the 'right' thing to do. This often turned into seasons of fear, overwhelm and burnout, leaving little room for joy and connection. Chris Coursey is an ordained pastoral counselor, international speaker and the author of several books that offer helpful and simple tools and essential skills to stay relational and joy-filled. These books include The Joy Switch, The Four Habits of Joy-Filled Marriage, The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, and his latest book The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled People. I can't recommend them enough. Chris carries a heart and passion to see people thrive. He and his wife Jen run THRIVEtoday, where they spread hope that comes from relational transformation by teaching the 19 relational skills through training and education opportunities.

In this episode, hosts Matt and Jess dive deep into Listening for the Heartbeat of God, J. Philip Newell’s powerful exploration of Celtic spirituality. They unpack what it means to be a Christian mystic in a world where faith is often confined to institutions and traditions. Together, they reflect on how Newell's message challenges us to listen more deeply—not just to sermons or scripture, but to the heartbeat of Christ in the everyday moments of life. Is the true Church a place we go, or something we live? Can we reclaim a faith that’s rooted in presence rather than performance? This episode invites listeners to reimagine spirituality not as separation from the world, but as deep, ongoing communion with the God who is everywhere—and in everyone.
