When we’re going through a painful situation, there are certain things we all know we should do. Maybe we pray, get help from a group of friends, or seek counseling. But there’s one incredibly powerful tool that many of us ignore — writing. That’s what Allison Fallon spends her life trying to teach people. In her work with people at every point on the spectrum from amateurs to bestselling authors, Allison has made it her mission to teach us that whether or not anyone ever reads your words, there is something powerful that happens inside us when we write through our pain. In this bonus conversation for our Nothing Is Wasted Monthly Partners, Allison sits down with Davey to talk about the power of writing things down and how it can be an incredibly useful tool for each and every one of us.

It’s easy to think of our lives and our wellbeing in discreet categories. We separate our health into categories of mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical, and we like to think these have nothing to do with each other. But our health and wellness are far more interconnected than we think, and the choices we make with our physical health can determine how we’ll heal not just physically but in every other area as well.

In this month’s bonus conversation for our Nothing Is Wasted Monthly Partners, Davey is joined by someone the Nothing Is Wasted community knows very well, his wife Kristi Blackburn. In addition to her work with Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, Kristi is a licensed PA with a storied list of accomplishments and a passion for holistic wellness. Kristi joins Davey to talk about how we can make smart choices with our physical health that can lead to healing in every area of our lives.

When trials come, we all want to be more resilient. But how do we get there? How do we build up our mental, spiritual, and emotional "muscles" to withstand the suffering that we'll all go through? In this bonus episode for our Nothing Is Wasted Monthly Partners, Aundi Kolber talks about the relationship between the resilience we want and need and the trauma we'll have to go through.

Despair is seemingly all around us. With everything going on in our world today, it’s only natural that we’ll sometimes fall into despair and not know how to get out. Michele Cushatt has felt her share of despair, and she shared some of that on Episode 113 of the podcast. Now she’s back to talk with our Monthly Partners about practical ways to dig ourselves out when we find ourselves in a pit of despair.

Terry Wardle has learned through experience that healing from trauma doesn’t come easily. Now he’s made it his life’s goal to help others experience experiential, holistic healing from a Christian perspective. Terry sits down with Davey to share with our Monthly Partners about what it looks like to heal from the wounds we’ve been carrying around and help others do the same.
