Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

We have a special December series for you. Each day a short mind renewal meditation will be released, lasting about five minutes. We hope these encourage you to press-in closer to Jesus this year.
Join us as we share a mind renewal prayer and meditation using verses from Philippians 3. This one focuses on what to think after a mess-up and the blessing and joy that comes from learning from the failure (look and learn) rather than allowing the failure to define me and just quitting. The discussion emphasizes turning to God’s unwavering love and mercy, finding solace in His presence instead of temporary solutions. Listeners are invited to meet their emotional and spiritual needs through Him, leaving behind shame and embracing His abundant grace. This episode serves as a reminder of the joy and blessings found in learning from failure and trusting God for future victories.

Beyond Feelings: Finding True Motivation 44:24

6 days ago44:24

44:24

Send us a text Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t feel like it,” even when something really matters? We have too. In this episode, Heidi shares a game-changing realization: if we wait for motivation to magically show up, we might stay stuck. But when we make choices based on our values—especially our identity in Christ—something shifts. We explore what it means to stop letting feelings drive the bus and start acting from a place that’s rooted and true. This conversation gets real as we share honest struggles and simple tools that help us move forward, even when emotions push back. From the “first thought, second thought” approach to a quick values-check practice, we offer a framework that helps you pause, reflect, and take action that aligns with who you really are. It’s not about forcing yourself through life—it’s about recognizing that motivation often follows movement, especially when that movement starts from your core values.

32:01

Send us a text In this final episode of our three-part series The Real Thing , we talk about something we often resist—God’s holy disruptions. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn’t just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno —to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn’t about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship. This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honestly about the struggle of letting go of control and embracing God’s interruptions, including a tender story about a dog named Sevy. From the bleeding woman to Saul’s blinding light, we reflect on how Jesus often disrupts before He restores. With breath prayers and practical tools, we invite you to consider where He might be gently disrupting your own “almost” life.

Send us a text In Part 2 of our three-part series The Real Thing , we talk about the "almosts"—those things we turn to for comfort that feel close to peace but never quite satisfy. Whether it’s late-night snacks, comparison, or performance, we’ve both reached for substitutes that ultimately leave us thirsty. Drawing from Jeremiah 2:13 and Isaiah 44, we unpack the imagery of broken cisterns and burned-out ashes, asking: Why do we keep trying to feed on what no longer gives life? This conversation isn’t just about recognizing what’s not working—it’s about learning to receive what is . We share stories from our own lives and invite you into a reflective process using breath prayers and simple journaling prompts. What are the places in your life that feel like “almosts”? What would it look like to trade those in for the living water Jesus offers? Join us on this honest journey towards something real—because you weren’t made to settle for almost.

32:56

Send us a text In this first episode of our new series, The Real Thing , we confront a subtle but powerful lie many of us have believed: that following Jesus means managing our lives better. From color-coded binders to constant striving, we’ve both fallen into the trap of believing that more control equals more freedom. But Jesus didn’t come to help us manage our sin—He came to give us life to the full . That doesn’t mean a perfect life, but a deep, soul-satisfying connection with Him that begins now. We share personal stories of how “management mode” drained us—Heidi in her struggles with fear-driven weight control, and Christina in the midst of her mom’s Alzheimer's journey, where surrender brought surprising peace. We’re learning that true freedom comes not through tighter grip, but through trust. We close with simple breath prayers and practical steps to help you move from self-reliance to relationship. You were made for more than managing—you were made for real life with God. Support the show Learn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org…

What Are You Really Thirsting For? 24:25

5 weeks ago24:25

24:25

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into the question, “What am I truly thirsting for?” We open a new series focused on caring for our bodies as sacred spaces, not problems to fix. Shifting our mindset in this way reshapes how we respond to emotional eating, self-image, and daily struggles. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the Hebrew idea of "thirst"—a deep, soul-level longing—and how only God's presence can satisfy that ache. Like the deer in Psalm 42, our hearts chase after true refreshment, yet we often settle for broken substitutes like food, performance, or approval. Christina shares a recent personal moment of emotional craving, where she realized her deeper need wasn’t food—it was God’s comfort in a hard place. We talk about how God meets us in our dry, weary spaces, just as seasonal rains bring new life to parched hills. We also offer a journaling prompt to help you name your own "dry places" and a breath prayer to connect with God in those moments. This episode is an invitation to see your body as already beloved and to tend to it with grace—because Jesus is present, even in your thirst.

Trusting the Unfolding 27:20

27:20

Send us a text In this episode, we talk about what it really means to trust the unfolding of life when things don’t go according to plan. We’ve both longed for the blueprint—the full picture—but God often asks us to take just the next step without knowing what’s around the corner. Releasing control is tough, but we’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from having all the answers. Heidi shares how something as inconvenient as a flat tire turned into a sacred moment with her mom—reminding us that what feels like an interruption may actually be part of God’s gentle redirection. We lean into scriptures like Psalm 37:5 and Proverbs 16:9 and explore how to practice trusting the unfolding through simple breath prayers, journaling, and asking God to help us loosen our grip on control. For us, trusting the unfolding means choosing to believe that God is present and active, even when the path feels uncertain. If you're in a season of waiting, change, or unknowns, we invite you to join us and remember: your life is not random, and the One writing your story is trustworthy.

Unmasking Our Counterfeit Comforts-Part 2 42:17

42:17

Send us a text Have you ever felt like you're sitting on an emotional trash can, afraid that lifting the lid will make everything spill out? We’ve both been there. In this episode, we talk about how we've tried to hold it all together—telling ourselves to “move on” or “just get over it”—because that’s what we heard from others and from our own inner critic. But we’ve found that real healing doesn’t come from avoidance. It comes when we let God into the mess, one honest moment at a time. We share personal stories—like digging through old journals and clothes tied to body image struggles—and how counterfeit comforts only gave temporary relief. The real shift started when we stopped numbing the pain and started facing it with God. Psalm 23 reminds us He walks with us through the darkest valleys, not around them. This isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about trusting the One who holds us even in our weakness. We hope you’ll join us in exploring what it means to find lasting comfort, not in escape, but in Christ.

38:28

Send us a text In this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that’s emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom’s trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we’re trying to numb. We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there’s hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we’re learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.

Send us a text Have you ever wondered where God is in the ordinary moments of your day? We explore that very question in this heart-level conversation about how every moment—yes, even the mundane ones—can become a sacred encounter. Together, we reflect on stories like the woman who touched Jesus' robe and the thief on the cross to reveal how God's presence often meets us not in grand events but in the smallest, most unexpected places. We talk about how every step can be a “thin place,” where heaven brushes earth, and how God can transform even a single second into a life-changing moment. We also dive into the difference between "Chronos" time—our packed, scheduled lives—and "Kairos" time, those divine appointments where God breaks through. Through gentle practices like breath prayers, sacred space scans, and pausing before reacting, we offer ways to recognize God's presence in your day. This episode is for anyone feeling rushed, scattered, or spiritually distant. You don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances to experience God.

Sacred Moments, Simple Yes 23:23

Send us a text Ever notice how sacred moments often slip into your day when you least expect them—while folding laundry, stuck at a red light, or trying to fix something that feels out of control? In this conversation, we talk about what it means to say a “sacred yes”—to recognize God’s presence in the now and choose trust over hesitation. These invitations rarely show up when life is neat and quiet. More often, they arrive right in the middle of the noise, asking us to pause, notice, and respond. Through Scripture, honest stories, and practical reflection, we open up about how powerful it can be to say yes, even when we feel unprepared. We talk about the things that often get in the way of our “yes”—exhaustion, fear, distraction, and the craving for certainty. But when we think of Isaiah’s bold “Here I am” or Mary’s quiet surrender, we're reminded that a sacred yes isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to notice God’s presence and respond with an open heart, right where we are. Ready to discover the sacredness of the present moment?

Why Does the Path to Peaceful Eating Feel So Difficult?! 29:18

Send us a text Have you ever thought, “Why can’t I just get over this food thing already?” You’re not alone—I’ve been there too. In this honest conversation, we unpack why making peace with food and your body can feel so frustratingly out of reach. Christina and I share our personal journeys, from restrictive diets in our teens to obsessing over “good” and “bad” foods, and how early experiences shaped the way we view food and ourselves. It’s a layered struggle that many people face, and there’s so much more behind it than just willpower. We dig into how the brain forms patterns around control and comfort, and how real change starts by addressing our thoughts, not just our behaviors. With insights from both neuroscience and Scripture—like Jesus’ reminder to “clean the inside of the cup first”—we explore what healing can truly look like. You’re not broken or weak; there’s a path forward grounded in gratitude, truth, and community. No matter how long you’ve wrestled with this, there is real hope for freedom and peace—with food, with your body, and with yourself.

Send us a text Mind renewal was never meant to be complicated, exhausting, or just another spiritual checklist. Yet many believers have turned this life-giving practice into legalism, self-help, or an overwhelming to-do list, missing its true power. Instead of striving to earn God's favor through mental exercises, we are invited into something far greater—alignment with God's perspective, bringing peace rather than pressure. True mind renewal refreshes the soul rather than depleting it. It’s about thinking God’s thoughts after Him, allowing His Word and Spirit to transform us. When we stop striving and simply receive the mind of Christ, we experience a gift, not a burden—a daily invitation into God’s presence that brings joy, contentment, and lasting change.

Embracing Grace: The True Meaning of Look and Learn 30:09

Send us a text Have you ever beaten yourself up after failing, believing harsh self-criticism would lead to positive change? The "Look and Learn" tool is meant for mind renewal, yet many have turned it into another form of self-punishment. Instead of viewing failure through a lens of shame, Scripture invites us to embrace God's grace. Romans 8:1 reminds us there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and Psalm 103:12 assures us that our transgressions are removed as far as the east is from the west. God isn't standing at a distance in disappointment—He draws near with compassion and restoration. When practiced as intended, Look and Learn becomes grace in motion, strengthening intimacy with God rather than pushing Him away. It shifts our perspective from self-rejection to redemption, helping us replace lies with life-giving truth. Every failure becomes a seed for growth, ensuring nothing is wasted in God's economy. Instead of running to condemnation, run to grace. Ask what God wants to reveal, and let this powerful tool guide you into freedom, intimacy, and transformation.
