Intergenerational Healing
04/16/2025
Intergenerational Healing
This week, Jake and Bob discuss intergenerational healing, taking into account recent pastoral advice from Bishops around the world. Intergenerational healing involves understanding how wounds and sins from previous generations can affect individuals in the present. Jake and Bob not only reflect on the Bishops’ letters, which express concern regarding the practice of intergenerational healing, but also share personal experiences of miraculous healings that occurred after addressing generational issues in prayer. Key Points: The Church teaches that while individuals are not guilty for the sins of their ancestors, they can still be affected by the consequences of those sins Intergenerational healing involves understanding how the wounds and sins from previous generations can affect individuals in the present A genogram is a tool for mapping family history and identifying patterns of sin and dysfunction Baptism wipes away the guilt of sin but the effects of sin may still remain Healing your wounds and forgiving those who have hurt you can have a profound impact on the lives of your loved ones Resources: (this letter is in Spanish and you will need to translate it) Please note: In this episode, Jake and Bob mention other letters in addition to the Spanish letter linked above. They were given access to an unreleased document from the USCCB that is currently unavailable to the public. We are unfortunately not able to link them here at this time.

Psychiatry & Personality w/ Dr. Christin McIntyre

Psychiatry & Personality w/ Dr. Christin McIntyre
This week, Jake and Bob welcome back Dr. Christin McIntyre, a Thomistic psychiatrist, to discuss the concept of personality disorders. They begin by defining what a personality disorder is and explore how modern culture and social norms can influence and twist this definition. Then, they discuss the interplay between inherited traits, early life experiences, and individual choices in shaping one’s personality. Through the analogy of a sailboat, Dr. Christin also shares how the intellect, will, and emotions are all interconnected and why navigating the waters of healing not only involves the formation of the intellect but also the conforming of our will to God’s. Key Points: A personality disorder is identified by a pervasive pattern of experience and behavior that is abnormal with respect to any two of the following: thinking, mood, personal relations, impulse control (from Dr. Cristina Lynch) Individuals with personality disorders have much hope for change Inner healing is an important aspect of addressing personality disorders Inherited traits, early life experiences, and individual choices all contribute to the development of a personality disorder Healing involves the formation of the intellect and conforming of your will to God Healing is a continuous process, not a one-time event Virtue is essential for true healing and involves habitual good choices Resources: Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Forgiveness & Transformation

Forgiveness & Transformation
This week, Jake and Bob return to an important topic: the healing power of forgiveness. Both Jake and Bob have encountered forgiveness and mercy in their healing journeys and share personal stories about receiving forgiveness and forgiving others. They also discuss why forgiving and forgetting is not possible, how to know if you’ve truly forgiven someone, and how our memories are transformed through the process of forgiveness. Key Points: Forgiveness is essential for healing and spiritual growth Trust is often lost in areas where we have been wounded Fear often surrounds these areas where we have lost trust Forgiveness can transform pain into compassion Unforgiveness hardens our hearts and reduces our ability to receive the love God desires to pour into us Memories can be purified through the process of forgiveness Sin not only wounds those we hurt but also ourselves It is important to also forgive ourselves Resources: by Jake Khym (use this to get 10% off) by Dr. Bob Schuchts Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

How Change Occurs (Part 2)

How Change Occurs (Part 2)
This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation and focus on the primary mechanisms of our human nature when it comes to change. We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit, but many times we isolate change and healing to only one part of our nature. While this can lead to some change, when integrated on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level we can experience greater progress. Jake and Bob discuss incremental vs transformational change, how the Sacraments pour out grace into our lives, and share stories of experiencing change in their lives. Key Points: If you want to take care of yourself, you first have to understand yourself We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit and healing largely occurs when we integrate all three There are two types of change: incremental and transformational Incremental change often precedes transformational change Being in relationship with others is a healing experience The Sacraments pour out grace into our lives that aids us in making a change Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

How Change Occurs (Part 1)
This week, Jake and Bob explore the complex process of personal change, what change requires, and why change can seem out of reach. In today’s culture of near instant gratification, it’s easy to think change should and will come about quickly and without much effort. While God can and does work many miracles, the reality is, change takes time, effort, and a lot of grace. Jake and Bob have experienced this in their lives, understand the struggle, and share their GIVE framework as a guide to help you navigate the beautiful and yet painful waters of change. Key Points: Change requires an understanding of the human experience Relationships and community play an important role in personal transformation An open disposition of the heart is key to allowing grace to change us Judgements and beliefs can “block” the grace we receive in the Sacraments from transforming our lives Healing requires personal responsibility, it should not be approached superstitiously God does work miracles and healing can come quickly. But most often healing occurs over time and with consistent engagement GIVE: Grace, Intention, Vision, Equipment Change is often accompanied by suffering and sacrifice Resources: The Huberman Lab Podcast with Jordan Peterson: Diary of a CEO with Jordan Peterson: The Huberman Lab: Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Throughout his journey of faith, Fr. Mathias shares stories of physical and emotional healing, explains what charisms are, and why a relationship with God is the most important part of each of our lives.

Integrating Faith and Psychiatry w/ Dr. Christin McIntyre
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by psychiatrist Dr. Christin McIntyre to discuss spiritual warfare and mental health. They discuss the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on human psychology and why learning about how our minds were created to work helps us spiritually and emotionally. Dr. Christin also discusses the importance of hope in prayer, what constrains our ability to love, and the role of repentance in mental health. Key Points: Prayer is transformed when we focus on hope instead of worry When we pray with hopes, we pray for the deep desires of our hearts. Real deep desire is suffering and can feel like Purgatory on earth Fear and anger constrain the heart's ability to love Spiritual warfare principles can provide valuable insights into mental health Both physical surroundings and spiritual beings (whether angelic or demonic) affect mental health Change involves a conscious act of the will and it can take time for our emotions to “feel” the results of these acts Understanding the nature of how our minds were created as human beings helps us navigate emotional challenges and can lead to healing We must cooperate with God’s grace to be transformed Resources: YouTube Channel Dr. Christin’s Lectures on Thomistic Psychology () () by Fr.

Redemptive Suffering (Part 2)
This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation on redemptive suffering. They reflect on the Song of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 53 and how Jesus redeems suffering itself. Jake and Bob also discuss how Jesus experienced all seven deadly wounds, challenged each identity lie, and how this in turn helps us challenge our own identity lies so that we too can love through sorrow. Key Points: Communion with Jesus is healing Confronting our judgements about God leads towards healing Jesus experienced each of the seven deadly wounds yet because His identity was rooted in the Father, He did not accept any identity lies. Only when our identity is rooted in God, can we truly love while suffering Resources: by Dr. Bob Schuchts with Dr. Bob Schuchts (and others) online video course workbook (select PDF or hard copy in the dropdown menu) Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Back to the Basics
This week, Jake and Bob go back to the basics of healing. They reflect on the idea that it is not what happens to us that harms our souls, but rather our response. Jake and Bob also discuss the problem of evil done to another, the challenges that come with accepting the reality of what happened, and the role of pain in the healing process. Key Points: There is a difference between blame and responsibility. It is important to hold abusers accountable while also recognizing our personal role in the healing process Our souls are harmed in our response to a trauma but that does not mean we are responsible for the trauma itself Grace and divine assistance are necessary for acknowledging the reality of what happened and experiencing healing Healing is the process of being restored to our original God-given glory. It involves encountering God as the source of our healing and developing a right relationship with Him Healing is not just the removal of pain, but the freedom to will the good and the capacity to live in accordance with our true nature Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Lance and Nicole Rodriguez to discuss spiritual parenting and the profound impact it has had on their lives. Lance and Nichole share their story of loss and restoration from learning they could not have biological children, to experiencing spiritual parenting, and from there, recognizing how God created an opportunity within this sorrow to cultivate a spiritual family. They touch on the challenges that arise in spiritual parenting, the importance of receiving love before offering it to others, but most of all, the fruits that have grown out of this place of surrender.

The Four Identities (Father/Mother) w/ Heather Khym
This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to conclude their four part series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of father/mother, discuss maturation versus healing, and explore how unresolved wounds in the other three identities surface in the identity of mother/father. They also discuss the unique yet complementary qualities of a good mother or father and how they represent different traits of God’s character. Whether you have biological or spiritual children, remember the key to experiencing the fullness of our role as mother/father is becoming little and allowing God to love and heal us. Key Points: Mothers and fathers have unique giftings that can bless their children in different ways. Mothers and fathers cannot be replaced by each other and represent different aspects of God's character. Corresponding words and deeds are important in embodying the roles of mother and father. Becoming little and allowing God to love and heal us is key to experiencing the fullness of our roles as mothers and fathers.

The Four Identities (Bride/Bridgroom) w/ Heather Khym
This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to continue with part three of their four part series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of bride/bridegroom and delve into the interconnectedness of each identity and why healing is essential to living them out fully. They discuss self-giving vs. self-seeking love, the role of bride/bridegroom in every vocation, and how learning to love others well is an important aspect of our healing journeys. Key Points: The four identities of a person (son/daughter, brother/sister, bride/bridegroom, mother/father) are interconnected and require healing and integration to be lived out fully. The healing process involves both receiving love and learning to love well through practice and maturation. The sacraments play a crucial role in the restoration of relationships and offer a framework for understanding love and healing within various vocations and states of life. The bride/bridegroom identity points towards our universal call to love within different states of life (single, married, and religious life).

They end the episode by sharing personal stories of healing and restoration within their identity as a beloved son/daughter. Key Points: Identity is bestowed by God and is a gift to be received. A solid foundation in sonship and daughtership is essential for all other identities to flourish. Trust and receptivity are key elements of a secure identity. Wounds and brokenness can disrupt and distort our understanding of our identity. Healing and restoration are necessary to fully embrace our true identity as beloved children of God.

The breakdown of trust in various institutions, including the church, has contributed to the rise in therapy as a means of finding support and guidance. A solid foundation in philosophy, anthropology, and theology is essential in therapy training to provide a proper understanding of the human person and their needs. Subjective experiences without objective truth and care can be dangerous, and therapy should aim to integrate both subjective and objective realities. Resilience and the ability to repair are part of human nature and therefore are important aspects of therapy and personal growth. The sacraments provide structure and guidance in relationships and can contribute to healing and growth. Therapy should be situated within the context of faith and community, and not isolated from them. Discernment is crucial when considering a career in therapy, and motivations should be rooted in a genuine call rather than popularity or personal dysfunction. Healthy Christian communities have the potential to provide healing and support, and may reduce the need for therapy. Jesus should be the centerpiece of the healing journey.

Healing Through Holy Sites
04/10/2024
Healing Through Holy Sites
This week, Jake and Bob discuss their recent ministry experiences at Franciscan University, Assisi, and various JPII Healing Center events. They explore the transformative power of healing ministry, why they prefer ministering to groups instead of individuals, and the significance of holy sites. Jake and Bob also share insights into why we need so much healing in today’s culture. Key Points: Team ministry is powerful and allows for mutual submission and a greater impact. Holy sites have an accumulation of grace and can facilitate powerful encounters with God. Blessing spaces is important to invoke God's presence and protect against spiritual contamination. Blessing places and spaces is critical for inviting the presence of God and experiencing His grace. The desecration of authority and the degradation of holy spaces contribute to the loss of worship, healing, and the culture's current state. Therapists and pastors have distinct roles, and it is important to recognize the limitations of therapy and the need for spiritual authority. Prayer has a powerful impact and can bring about healing and transformation in the lives of others. Resources: Fr.

Parts Work (Part 1) w/ Gerry Crete
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Gerry Crete, a marriage and family counselor to discuss his work on internal family systems, or parts work. Parts work is a therapeutic approach that involves exploring and understanding the different “parts” of our personality and how they can influence the decisions we make in life. Jake, Bob, and Gerry explore the transformative applications of parts work in therapy, distinguish the differences between desires and wounds, and discuss the role of love and compassion in the healing journey. For more information check out Gerry’s book . Key Points: Parts work, or internal family systems, can lead to remarkable breakthroughs in therapy by helping individuals connect with and understand their different parts. Harmony and unity within oneself can be achieved through the integration of different parts, allowing for a more balanced and authentic experience of self. Understanding the distinction between desires and parts can help individuals navigate conflicting motivations and make choices that align with their true selves. Practical applications of parts work include using analogies and visualization techniques to help individuals relate to and understand their parts.
