Psychiatrist. EMDR therapist. Kingdom-minded healer. In this rich and inspiring episode, Josh & Cassie sit down with Dr. Karl Lehman—author of The Immanuel Approach—to explore how imagery, neuroscience, and the presence of Jesus come together to spark real, lasting transformation.

Dr. Lehman has spent thousands of hours walking people into healing encounters with Jesus, and today he shares how the Immanuel Approach uses guided imagery to establish connection with the living God. From his clinical training to his ministry roots, Karl brings wisdom, joy, and deep conviction that Jesus is still meeting people exactly where they are—and transforming their lives.

Join us as we discuss:

• How to establish interactive connection with Jesus using Immanuel imagery
• Historical accounts of people encountering Jesus' presence—then and now
• Fascinating insights from Dr. Lehman’s research on prayer and healing movements across history
• The Holy Spirit’s consistency—and how this work aligns with the NICC model of transformation

Whether you’re new to the idea of healing through imagery or already practicing Immanuel prayer, this conversation is full of gold. Expect to laugh, reflect, and maybe even feel a nudge to meet Jesus in a new way. ❤️

Healing doesn’t end when the breakthrough moment happens—true transformation is sealed through Replay. In this episode, we unpack the powerful practice of Replay (also known as meta-processing), a vital part of the NICC process that helps the brain lock in healing and grow new, healthier neural pathways.

We’ll also explore the role of Anchoring, which helps participants carry the healing with them beyond the session. Whether it’s a word, phrase, image, or physical object, an anchor lights up the new pathways that were formed—reinforcing and deepening the healing long after the session ends.

Join us as we discuss:

• Why Replay is critical for emotional integration and relational trust
• How anchoring helps “SNAG” (Stimulate Neural Activation and Growth) your brain for positive transformation
• Creative ways to choose meaningful anchors that reinforce healing
• How to use Replay moments to repair, reconnect, and reinforce truth

Replay gives participants a chance to slow down, reflect on what just happened, and name their experience—making the invisible healing work visible and real. It’s also a moment to reconnect relationally, strengthen trust, and even repair any moments of disconnect during the process.
