The Sanity Closet

Picking Up After a Failure, a Season of Loss, and Surrendering Through it.

Throughout our lives, we all strive to do better...regardless of the reason. In our journey, it is inevitable that we fail at some point. We climb the mountain just to slide back down...two steps forward, three steps back. This does NOT mean that we give up. Our mentality when we do fail is vital in these times. Listen in for more on our reading journey through The Spiritual Combat. WARNING emotions run high in this episode. We receive news that one of our family friends has passed and this leads to some of us sharing about our seasons of loss. Our adventure in surrender continues! This is a public episode.

Stress, More Surrender, and How NOT to Clean Your Stove.

And the theme of surrender just keeps going! Join us for a conversation that is more like a study in the practical application of surrender in our daily lives. We talk about stress and how it negatively impacts our health on a neurological level and how "practicing delight" can actually help to counteract the damage caused. Rachael injured her hand while cleaning her stove and shares with us some little known tips on treating minor burns. This is a public episode.

Spiritual Warfare, Jesus with Skin on, and...Weather?

On our journey through this life, we fight spiritual battles every day without even seeing it for what it is. We discuss the ways that we can fight against some common pit falls we can all face. Jesus with skin on…We are called to be His hands and feet in this world. How do we respond when we will hear the call to show his love to others? Finally, what podcast is complete without an update on the local weather in TX, NM, and Canada? This is a public episode.

Pet Peeves, Bread Crusts and Blood Math

One thing we all have in common, pet peeves, left over bread crusts and…well…blood. We delve into the different pet peeves we all have on a daily basis. From not replacing the toilet paper to leaving the last drops in the milk jug just to say “I didn’t drink it all”. Another thing most of us have in common??? The age old question of what to do with the last two pieces of bread that no one ever seems to like? My sisters and I share the well kept secret of how eating bread crusts when you’re young can actually give you curly hair (or not). And lastly, what morning conversation can really be complete without a little blood math? We discuss blood types and the negatives and positives of it (see what I did there?).
