    #42 A Safe Place For Your Thoughts
    2026/06/03
    This episode is a little different from the usual Resilient Souls format.Over the years, I've discovered that journalling has been one of the most helpful practices in my own life, especially during seasons when my mind felt crowded with questions, worries, grief, uncertainty, or simply the pressure of everyday life.What I've found is that getting those thoughts out of my head and onto paper often helps me make sense of what's happening internally. It gives those thoughts somewhere safe to go.That made me curious.Was this just something that worked for me, or had other people found journalling helpful too? So I invited four friends with very different personalities, life experiences, and approaches to journalling to join me for an honest conversation.None of us are experts. We're simply people who have discovered that reflection, writing, drawing, prayer, or putting thoughts on paper can sometimes help us process life a little more clearly.What emerged was a refreshing reminder that there is no single "right way" to journal. For some, it's a daily discipline. For others, it's something they turn to only in difficult seasons. Some write pages. Some write a sentence. Some draw pictures. Some pray. But underneath all those differences was a common theme: Finding a safe place for your thoughts can be incrediblyhelpful.Whether you're navigating a difficult season, wrestling with questions, processing emotions, or simply looking for a little more space to reflect, I hope this conversation gives you someIn this episode, you’ll discover:Why journalling is about reflection and processing, not just writingHow different personalities approach journalling in completely different waysThe surprising role journalling can play during grief, stress, uncertainty, and difficult seasonsWhy getting thoughts out of your head and onto paper can reduce their powerHow gratitude, reflection, drawing, prayer, and simple note taking can all be forms of journalling Why there is no "right way" to journal and how to find a style that suits youPractical ideas for getting started without pressure or perfectionHow journalling can help you better understand yourself, your life...and much more!Guest on Today's Podcast:Lynne Kooij, Hannah Kallady, Nate Vawser, Graham HumphrisLinks mentioned in the episode:Pray as You GoLectio 365The Artist’s WayYookl Journals Stewart’s blog on how he found journalling a useful practice The broader Collective Wisdom Resource on SubstackExplore More from Resilient Souls: Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Podcast⁠⁠⁠ or search ‘Resilient Souls’ wherever you get your podcastsResilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠on Substack⁠⁠ Stewart’s ⁠Book⁠⁠⁠Follow Resilient Souls on: ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Instagram /⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠Get Involved or Reach Out: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Stewart to Speak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Work⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us⁠⁠⁠Need Help?

  • #41 What Actually Helps in Crisis (Part 2): Erik Ellefsen on Showing Up, Supporting Others, and Leading Well

    #41 What Actually Helps in Crisis (Part 2): Erik Ellefsen on Showing Up, Supporting Others, and Leading Well
    2026/05/06

    In Part 1, Erik Ellefsen shared the deeply personal reality of living with long-term illness. In this second part, we turn outward.

    What does it actually look like to support someone incrisis? Not in theory - but in real life.

    Drawing from his 17-year journey with serious illness, Erik reflects on the people who showed up, the ones who didn’t, and the lessons that have stayed with him over time.

    We explore the tension many people feel, wanting to help, but not knowing how.

    We talk about the overlooked role of the caregiver, the importance of simple presence, and why small, thoughtful actions often matter more than big gestures.

    This conversation also has important implications for leaders, particularly in schools, churches, and communities.

    Why are we often unprepared when crisis hits?

    What does meaningful leadership look like in those moments

    And how can we create environments where people feel seen, supported, and not alone?

    There’s no perfect script. But there are better ways to show up and this episode will help you think differently about what that looks like.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    1. What support really looks like in the early stages of crisis and how it changes over time
    2. Why people often step back, even when they care deeply
    3. The tension between “just tell me what you need” and not having the energy to respond
    4. Why caring for the caregiver is often just as important as caring for the person who is unwell
    5. How simple presence can matter more than having the right words or answers
    6. What leaders in schools, churches, and communities can do to better prepare for crisis
    7. How looking outward and serving others can bring life, even in the middle of your own struggle

  • #40 When Life Doesn’t Go to Plan (Part 1): Erik Ellefsen on Faith, Identity and Long-Term Illness

    #40 When Life Doesn’t Go to Plan (Part 1): Erik Ellefsen on Faith, Identity and Long-Term Illness
    2026/04/01
    When Erik Ellefsen was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at just 33, he was told he may only have a couple of years to live. Seventeen years later, he’s still here.But this isn’t a story about everything working out neatly. It’s a story about learning to live in the tension between hope and uncertainty… between deep pain and unexpected purpose.In this first part of our two-part conversation, Erik takes us back to the moment everything changed. The diagnosis, what followed, and the long journey of treatment that has impacted every part of his life.We talk about what it’s like to live with ongoing illness that others can’t always see. The impact it’s had on his identity, his energy, his marriage, and the future they once imagined.More than that, we explore how Erik has wrestled with faith in the middle of it all. Not in a polished or formulaic way, but in a deeply honest and lived way.This is a conversation about resilience, faith, and learning to reimagine life when it doesn’t go the way you thought it would.In Part 2, we shift the focus outward. We explore what truly helps when someone is walking through crisis, and how we can better support them. But before we head there, this is a very personal story worth sitting with.In this episode, you’ll discover:What it’s really like to receive a life-altering diagnosis and the shock that followsHow long-term illness impacts identity, energy, and everyday lifeThe hidden tension of 'looking fine' on the outside while struggling internallyThe grief of lost expectations, including career, family, and future plansHow Erik has navigated anger, disappointment, and uncertainty over timeA deeply honest perspective on faith, suffering, and the goodness of GodWhat it means to reimagine life when your original plans are no longer possible..... and much moreAbout our Guest:Erik Ellefsen is an educator, leadership consultant, and trusted voice in Christian education across the United StatesCurrently serving as Director of Networks and Improvement at Baylor UniversityHost of the Digical Education podcast Explore More from Resilient Souls: Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Podcast⁠⁠⁠ or search ‘Resilient Souls’ wherever you get your podcastsResilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Blog on Substack⁠⁠ ⁠Stewart’s ⁠Book⁠⁠⁠Follow Resilient Souls on: ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Instagram /⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠Get Involved or Reach Out: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Stewart to Speak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Work⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us⁠⁠⁠Need Help?
