We're sitting down with Keith Hughes to talk about his new book, "4 Breaths: Catch Your Breath, Find Your Life With These 4 Psychological & Biblical Principles"

Keith's spent 35 years as a Christian mental health clinician, and he's identified four key principles that can either drain us or give us life. You know those moments when life just knocks the wind out of you? Keith's got some practical wisdom on how to catch your breath again.

We'll chat about finding new perspectives when you're stuck, the real impact of forgiveness (and what happens when we don't forgive), what Christ meant by "it is finished," and how what we worship shapes who we become. It's real talk about faith and mental health without the fluff.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, searching for meaning, or just curious about blending biblical principles with psychological insights, you'll get something valuable from this conversation. Tune in to hear Keith's down-to-earth approach to finding your breath again when life leaves you gasping.

In this thought-provoking episode of Chasing Sunday, hosts Brian Davis and Paul Romig-Leavitt sit down with the insightful Dave King to explore the intersection of worship, technology, and the human quest for connection. They unpack the challenges and opportunities presented by technology in the worship space, navigating the delicate balance between leveraging tech to enhance community and the risk of letting it overshadow the heart of ministry. Dave, a seasoned expert in AV management for churches, shares his philosophy on empowering volunteers and his pastoral approach to stewardship of technology. This conversation also takes a philosophical turn as Paul offers deep reflections on the broader implications of technological advancement, including AI, and its potential spiritual dimensions. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a worship leader, or simply someone who values meaningful human connection, this episode offers a rich tapestry of ideas to ponder.

In the last episode of the season for the Chasing Sunday podcast, hosts Brian Davis and Paul Romig-Leavitt discuss the concept of a "bottleneck," a term used to describe challenges and questions faced by worship leaders. They answer a question from a worship leader about engaging with all aspects of God and human experience in worship. They also discuss the dominance of the "big four" churches in the worship music industry, the challenge of getting congregations to sing more, and share book recommendations that have impacted them. The next season will focus on the impact of technology on worship.
