Being Known Podcast

What if peace isn't something you find by controlling your circumstances?   Jesus says, “In me you may have peace.”   In me.   Not in your job. Not in your relationships. Not in your accomplishments. Not in having everything figured out.   Join Curt and Pepper as they explore what it means to belong to Jesus as a real Person—and how that belonging is experienced through our bodies, our relationships, and our communities. They’ll consider the people whose presence helps us experience peace and what it might look like for our own presence to become that kind of place for someone else.   * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.   * * * * * Stay connected: Instagram, Facebook YouTube (Unedited videos of each episode AND the Post Show Conversation.)

What happens when a podcast becomes part of a classroom—and then starts changing lives beyond it? In this episode, Curt and Pepper welcome David Stevens, professor and director of Tabor College’s Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma program, to talk about the unexpected ways Season 1 of the Being Known Podcast has continued to shape students' lives years after its original release.   Together, they explore the intersection of neuroscience, trauma, faith, and what it means to truly see another person. David explains why he believes we each experience the world through a unique lens, and how understanding the brain can change the way we encounter people who have experienced trauma.    This conversation is a reminder that the ideas we share can travel farther than we ever imagined. Sometimes, a conversation that begins in a podcast can end up in a classroom, a relationship, a community, or even a life-changing encounter with a stranger.   And perhaps the invitation is simple: listen deeply, look again, and see what you might notice this time around.   * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.   * * * * * Stay connected: Instagram, Facebook YouTube (Unedited videos of each episode AND the Post Show Conversation.)

Before you could tell your story, someone was telling it to you.   We become storytellers long before we have the words to understand what is happening. We learn who we are through the stories spoken around us—and through the way those stories are attended to. Eventually, we begin to live inside those stories.   Join Curt and Pepper as they explore what it means to become receptive to being addressed—to hear Jesus' words not simply as words for humanity in general, but as words spoken to you. They’ll consider attention, attunement, imagination, and the stories we are living in as we become increasingly aware of the One who is speaking to us.   * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.   * * * * * Stay connected: Instagram, Facebook YouTube (Unedited videos of each episode AND the Post Show Conversation.)

We are all speaking.   Not just with our words, but with our bodies, our stories, our assumptions, and our presence. We make sense of what we experience and then put words around it. But none of us speaks entirely on our own.   Join Curt and Pepper as they explore how the words we speak are shaped by the people who have spoken to us, about us, and over us—and how those words become part of what we embody and eventually speak to others. What are we saying to ourselves? What are we saying to the people around us? And what might it mean to become people whose presence and words communicate hospitality rather than alienation?   * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.   Join us in October for the Center for Being Known annual Connections Conference.

Before you ever say a word, you're already communicating.   Your body occupies space. Your face, posture, voice, movement, and presence are communicating something to the people around you. And long before we have words for ourselves, someone else is speaking to us.   Join Curt and Pepper as they explore the first half of Jesus' words in John 16:33—“These things I have spoken…”—and what it means that words come from a Person. They’ll consider embodied presence, attachment, shame, rupture, and repair, and the ways our presence can communicate either hospitality or alienation.   * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.   Join us in October for the Center for Being Known annual Connections Conference.
