    Longing for Hope - Advent Meditation (Week 1)
    Nov 30 2025
    https://youtu.be/FYCPLepj1kU Welcome to the 2025 Advent Meditation Journey. If you are longing for a more meaningful Advent season, we invite you to join us in setting aside time each week to reflect, pray, and re-center. Advent is a season of preparation—a sacred invitation to slow down and open ourselves to the coming of Christ. This is the first week of our Advent Meditation Journey. In this season of sacred waiting, we pause to reflect on longing and hope. Whether you’re feeling grounded or weary, hopeful or uncertain, you are welcome here. This brief meditation is an invitation to slow down, tune into your heart, and open yourself to the quiet stirrings of hope. Find a comfortable place, take a deep breath, and join me as we begin this Advent journey together—with honesty, stillness, and expectation.

  • What is Thriving? – Season 2 Wrap Up with Dr. Pam King

    What is Thriving? – Season 2 Wrap Up with Dr. Pam King
    Jul 21 2025
    Help inspire the future of With & For! Click here to take our short survey! The first five respondents will receive exclusive swag from the Thrive Center! Thriving is a relational journey that involves being deeply connected to others and the community. The importance of a "true north" and discerning what is most sacred to orient one's life. Understanding thriving as accepting a truer story of yourself, others, and the world. Engaging in mindset and behavior changes for flourishing, with self-compassion. Thriving as having resources built up in various domains (personal, family, social) to buffer from crisis. The concept of thriving begins with the love of God and love of neighbor. The alignment of purpose and practice is central to thriving, regardless of changes over time. Recognizing ourselves as "God's masterpiece" and finding joy and contentment in that. Thriving as a dynamic, meaningful engagement in purposeful living, adapting to changing contexts. The idea that one can be struggling or even mentally ill and still be thriving is a "both/and" process. Thriving as an internal state and relational reality marked by an open heart and meaningful relationships, even on a stressful day. The journey of thriving involves self-discovery and healing, acknowledging both strengths and weaknesses. Being "habituated to doing good" and demonstrating one's "best self" in relationships. Dr. Pam King’s Key Takeaways Thriving is relational and happens when we are deeply connected to other people, whether that be through our intimate relationships or our broader community. Thriving involves telling a truer story about life, that there is both beauty and brokenness. Thriving involves understanding who we are as God's masterpieces, that we all have strengths, and we all can thrive and find life in our weaknesses. Thriving involves discovering and pursuing what gets you up in the morning – your true north, what is most sacred to you. Thriving involves self-discovery and healing, which might mean being softer with ourselves so that we can find internal ease. About the Thrive Center Learn more at thethrivecenter.org.

  • The Unexpected Benefits of Play, with Dr. Tina Payne Bryson

    The Unexpected Benefits of Play, with Dr. Tina Payne Bryson
    Jul 7 2025
    Episode Highlights "When we laugh, when we are sitting in delight, it expands–It not only keeps us in our window of tolerance, but it expands our window of tolerance." "We also know that play is just a huge protective factor. It allows people to process their experiences, but also build skills for the future." "Play is really about doing something for the enjoyment of it, for no other reason, but for the enjoyment." "The more stress you have, the more play you need." "To hold multiple emotions that more than one thing was true... gives us tremendous capacity to be resilient and have more mental and cognitive, flexibility as well as emotional flexibility." Helpful Links and Resources Books by Dr. Tina Bryson The Way of Play (Tina’s latest book!) The Whole-Brain Child No-Drama Discipline The Yes Brain The Power of Showing Up Follow Tina Bryson: TinaBryson.com Instagram X The Center for Connection Show Notes The importance of play for human development across the lifespan, noting that even mammals engage in it. How play keeps us in receptive, thriving states and expands our window of tolerance for frustration and discomfort. The crucial relationship between stress and play: the more stress in our lives, the more we need play to counterbalance it. The distinction between free unstructured play for children and dyadic, child-led relational play. Addressing common parental challenges with play, such as not knowing how, finding it boring, or children's resistance. Introduction to Tina's new book, “The Way of Play,” co-authored with Georgie Wisen-Vincent, which offers seven strategies for parents to engage in child-led play for brain integration and relationship building. Defining play for adults: doing something purely for enjoyment, not productivity (e.g., pickleball, running, decorating, thrifting, watching "trashy TV"). The significance of being playful in our manner – adding silliness, lightness, and sharing funny videos for shared laughter and connection. How play serves as a powerful tool for emotional regulation and processing, allowing individuals to "try on" difficult emotions in a safe, controlled context. The capacity to hold multiple emotions simultaneously (e.g., discomfort and fun), fostering resilience and mental/emotional flexibility. The impact of even "little moments" of play in creating significant connections, especially after separations. The concept of mutual delight in play and the importance of following what lights up both individuals. Tina's personal insights into her own playful activities, including her love for organizing and systematic approaches. Dr. Jill Westbrook’s Key Takeaways Play is important throughout our life spans because the positive emotions it elicits expand what Tina calls our window of tolerance. We get better at avoiding the rigidity and chaos that can plague our relationships. The more stressful our lives are, the more we need to play. Having playfulness in life is as important as actually playing. So, adding play to your life doesn't mean that you have to schedule any particular time for play. Laughing, sharing funny videos, lightening things up a bit are all part of play. Playing with children is vital for their development, and for those of us with young people in our lives, finding time to do something fun with them helps us all thrive. Tina's new book “The Way of Play” offers practical advice and teaches strategies so that all of us can get more comfortable playing. About the Thrive Center Learn more at thethrivecenter.org.
