…We Have a Spiritual Problem
...We Have a Spiritual Problem
Podcast Description
How do we cultivate a well-centered life in a world that often feels unbalanced? What role does spirituality play in solving today’s personal and collective problems? Drawing from concepts of "well-centered fitness"—Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social wellness—we bring you engaging conversations with experts, thinkers, and everyday people who challenge us to rethink our approaches to health, happiness, and harmony and to deepen your spiritual understanding with open minds.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on spiritual wellness, health, personal growth, and community building, exploring topics like food and spirituality, conscious aging, navigating chronic illness, emotional intelligence in relationships, and the impact of trauma on personal journeys. For instance, episodes featuring Chef Jeremy Rock Smith discuss the healing aspects of food, while Dr. Greg Stewart tackles negative emotions to build intimacy in marriage.
In an age of fragmentation, distraction, and cultural turbulence, this podcast asks a deeper question: What does human flourishing actually require?
Drawing on science, theology, philosophy, and lived experience, Centered moves beyond diagnosing our spiritual problem and toward integration. Inspired in part by the vision of convergence articulated by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, each episode explores how we align our bodies, minds, relationships, and souls toward what is ultimate.
This is not self-help.
It is formation.
It is movement toward wholeness.
It is the work of becoming centered.
We live in a chaotic world — but chaos is not only cultural. It is personal.
In this foundational episode of Centered: Becoming Whole in a Chaotic World (formerly the …We Have a Spiritual Problem podcast), Dr. Jeff Armstrong explores the hidden force shaping modern life: fragmentation. From divided attention and digital overload to compartmentalized identities and disordered priorities, fragmentation erodes our capacity for flourishing.
Before we can become whole, we must recognize where we are divided. This episode diagnoses the deeper issue beneath our exhaustion and anxiety — and sets the stage for integration through the SPIES framework.
