Episode 228: Tiana Spencer makes overcoming shame simple

I had heard incredible things about Tiana Spencer as a pastor, speaker, and teacher. And I’ve got to say, I learned so much from her in our conversation. We got to talk about her love of teaching scripture and the encouragement she found to pursue it. She shared how she developed a desire for a more holistic faith. And I was moved to hear her talk about her passion for creating an emotionally healthy church. Maybe you’re wrestling with your calling or your identity. Or you’ve experienced some traumas that you’re working through. No matter where you fall on that spectrum, I think you’ll love hearing my conversation with Tiana.Special thanks to Serve HQ for sponsoring this week’s episode!HighlightsAbout Tiana Spencer - 2:47Tiana’s start leading bible study at 14Finding a starting point if you’re new to scriptureWhat Tiana’s reading that’s impacting herHow Tiana and her husband navigate ministry together.Connecting with God - 12:59Tiana shares how her family connects with GodFinding anchors to stay connected withHow Tiana found a passion for emotional healing in the church - 17:56How Albert Tate encouraged Tiana to teachHer own emotional journeyProcessing trauma and emotional healing in the churchDeveloping her passion for holistic faithResourcesTiana’s websiteTiana’s InstagramThe Other Half of the Church by Jim Wilder and Michel HendricksSacred Pathways by Gary ThomasChildren of Abraham Sermon by Tiana SpencerEmotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter ScazzeroThere are several resources around the Enneagram including but not limited to:Enneagram Today (an InterVarsity Press website)The Enneagram Institute (a focused view of the Enneagram)The Enneagram in Business (specific to business and leadership)
