    2021/08/12

    In this episode, we are talking with Lance Woodly. Lance is the Hanley Center Clinical Chaplain. He is also a clinical social worker and spends his life helping people. 

    Lance shares about his background and the path that brought him to seminary and becoming a chaplain. He shares his winding journey to find the ultimate meaning for his life and how even now he is a work in progress.   

     

    Show Notes:
    • [00:38] We are excited to welcome Lance Woodly. Lance is a healthcare chaplain and clinical social worker.
    • [02:46] The greatest challenge he finds with being a clinician and academic is that when a question is answered, a thousand more arise. 
    • [03:56] It is always okay to be in process. We are all evolving, growing, learning, and in process. If we are, we are stagnant and that is worse than anything. 
    • [04:22] Do not put pressure on yourself to know everything or to figure life out.  Take life as it comes. 
    • [06:51] If we make meaning of each step, each step in any direction will begin to make sense. We don’t see what is in front of us but we just run committed to the step in front of us. 
    • [07:48] As a chaplain they help carry the load of their brothers and sisters that struggle with any problem that may lie ahead.  To be a chaplain is to be a burden bearer. 
    • [09:55] For the religious and the nonreligious, the idea of making meaning and interpreting their reality becomes essential. 
    • [11:51] His faith was put on trial.  He went from trying to defend the existence of God to see what the benefits are of believing in God. 
    • [13:08] When people are hurting and broken, that's the common ground.
    • [15:46] Lance shares how his journey of music got him to this point. 
    • [17:13] If you want something, you have to work hard for it. 
    • [19:11] In college, he took and flunked his first Bible course but then something just changed. 
    • [20:10] He realized that he approached life naturally as a philosopher. Once he surrendered to that he began to operate in that gift. 
    • [22:43] Lance shares about his guardian angel. 
    • [25:19] His guardian angel took care of him and told him the drug life was not for him and he would take care of him. 
    • [27:52] He became very curious about who he was as a person.  
    • [29:39] Meaning comes up again and again in Lance’s story. 
    • [31:16] What is this teaching me? What has this person’s meaning been in my life?

  • Surrendering to God in a Ditch with Rick Hubbard

    Surrendering to God in a Ditch with Rick Hubbard
    2021/06/24
    In this episode, we are talking with Rick Hubbard. Rick is the Executive Vice President of Professional Relations at Origins.  Rick shares about his journey from the commercial banking industry to being the Executive Vice President of Professional Relations. He shares his struggles with alcohol and drugs and finally surrendering to God.  He shares how he found and surrendered to go in the ditch.  Show Notes: [00:37 We are excited to welcome Rick Hubbard. Rick is the Executive Vice President of Professional Relations at Origins.[01:29] Rick serves as the leader of the Origins professional relations team. Their team is responsible for serving as a liaison between their facilities and the outside world. He builds relationships and those relationships facilitate healing. [03:41] Through that process of listening they can determine the extent of which the patient is suffering, the patient’s immediate family, and loved ones.  Then they are charged with the responsibility of identifying what a solution can be. [04:31] Rick shares his journey from working in commercial banking to where he is now. There are many similarities between what he was doing in the banking industry and what he is doing now.  [06:56] Part of the action was to take the home buyers out to dinner and happy hour and he found himself caught up in problematic drinking.  [08:12] He always lived in a certain amount of fear and anxiety and the alcohol helped to treat that for him but eventually it became such a burden that he found himself engaged in behavior that he never thought he would. [09:43] He got deeper and deeper into alcohol and drug use. It wore him down and eventually he found himself in a treatment center for the first time in 2000.  [11:32] When he went to the addiction center for the second time they told him that they could help him but they would need to change everything about himself but if he was not willing nothing would change.  [13:23] He learned that there were things in his life that were more important to him and if he would give up those things and find a God of my understanding that his life would get better, but he would have to surrender. [15:33] His mom's words to not come back until he got it right haunted him and motivated him to get it right. [17:01] Rick shares his experience about getting a construction job. [19:45] He found himself praying as he was digging the ditches. After a while he surrendered and asked God to give him the perseverance for the work. [21:08] He was literally in a ditch and he found God in a ditch in Abilene, Texas. He learned that no matter what he thinks he needs, God’s plan is always much better and a greater plan than anything he could devise.  [22:29] His sponsor told him that he knew what to do and now you need to do it. [24:01] His faith grew more and more as he was better able to put his trust in the God of his understanding. The evidence was true that there was a power greater than him working in his life and if he would just surrender everything was going to be okay and get better. [26:07] Doing God’s will sometimes means accepting where we are and doing the next right thing and the best we can. [28:05] One year and three weeks after he took that construction job, he got a call from the treatment center CEO saying he had a job for him. He realized that everything in his life had prepared him for that moment and he realized that is why he suffered. [30:29] None of us can avoid suffering. Our suffering can either be something that clings on and keeps us sick or that is transformed into something that has meaning and value. [33:03] He is seeing things today that he didn’t see forty years ago in the inner cities and communities of color. The degree to which he sees people suffering from various levels of mental health disorders has seemed to increase drastically in the past three to four years.  Many are also struggling with substance abuse. [34:56] We have to decide as treatment providers that we are going to be deliberate and focused on a strategy to provide the specialized outreach needed to reach these communities. As providers we have to begin to look at how we deliver treatment services. [36:24] We have failed and that failure has been misassociated with a lack of funding.  There is truly a lack of funding but there is also a lack of effort. [38:49] Ask the questions and have the dialogue.  We can change the way we exist if we will just listen and talk to each other.  Links and Resources: Something More PodcastOrigins WebsiteOrigins on FacebookOrigins on Instagram

    Encouraging and Building Others Up with Vanessa Brenner
    2021/03/17

    Vanessa shares about her journey from the finance industry to being a family counselor and recently returning to the women’s unit as the Program Director. She shares the impact kind words and encouragement have on her own life and how life-giving it can be to offer the same to others. She also shares about being genuine and honest with others even when it can be tough. 

    Show Notes:
    • [00:39] We are excited to welcome Vanessa Brenner. Vanessa is the Clinical Program Director at the Hanley Center at Origins. 
    • [01:20] She is a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. She has been living in Florida since 2008 and prior to coming to Florida, she worked in the finance industry. 
    • [02:54] When she changed industries and went back to school, she knew from the very beginning that she wanted to work with addicts and alcoholics.

    • [06:30] She is returning as the Program Director of the women’s unit.   
    • [08:38] We are all human. There are times when we feel very frustrated, stuck, and that we are not getting anywhere.  
    • [10:13] It is okay to be stuck. There is hope. We are not going to be stuck forever. Kind words or encouragement can often help someone get out of their rut.
    • [11:21] Think about where you can be that encouragement for others.  
    • [12:58] You have no idea the impact you can make when reaching out to someone. Vanessa keeps a special email folder with notes of encouragement she has received.  
    • [14:47] It isn’t about the big things. It is about the little things we can do to support and encourage others.  
    • [15:58] Her own alcoholism and experimenting with drug use brought her to a place where she knew she wanted to help people.  
    • [17:02] She felt like she wanted to share her human experience with others.  
    • [19:25] Drinking was a very big part of the culture she was immersed in, but not her home culture.
    • [20:26] She suffered serious consequences from her drinking and that sealed the deal that she didn’t want to go on like that. She did some treatment, got a sponsor, and worked the Twelve Steps. 
    • [21:34] You can live with this and have a happy life sober. It is not easy sometimes, but it is a lot easier than the other way.  
    • [23:32] Being genuine is telling people the truth. The truth isn’t always easy, but it is necessary.  
    • [24:51] Everyone of us is going to encounter people and that means that we have multiple opportunities for an act of kindness and something that can build people up. Look for the moments to build someone up today.    
    • [26:39] We have opportunities to build someone up and help them get out of the rut that we all struggle with.
