Measuring Spiritual Safety
with Lianna Chong
In this conversation, organizational psychologist Lianna Chong shares how a spiritual abuse crisis in her church led her to develop and validate the Spiritual Safety Scale—a research-based survey measuring psychological safety, leadership behaviors, and cultural dynamics in faith communities. With data from 800+ participants and a journal article under review, she explains the survey’s scoring, its strong links to trauma outcomes, and its practical use for individuals and organizations. Chong is launching the Spiritual Safety Center to offer the tool, training, and consulting.
Listeners will learn how to recognize clear patterns of spiritual abuse, interpret survey results, and take next steps—whether seeking validation, assessing risk, or pursuing improvement.
Bio
Lianna founded the Spiritual Safety Center to help church communities address unhealthy culture and create spiritual safety. Lianna has over a decade of experience in ministry and consulting in psychological safety, compassion fatigue and resilience. After watching her church divide over questions of spiritual abuse, she developed the Spiritual Safety Scale (forthcoming) to help people recognize signs of healthy and unhealthy Christian environments.
Lianna holds a Master's of Theological Studies, an MA in Organizational Psychology, and certification in psychological safety. She has taught organizational assessment methods as adjunct professor for William James College. Lianna writes for her Substack Good Shepherding and has a forthcoming book with fellow pastor, Abram Kielsmeier-Jones (est. 2027).

Processing Honestly with God: Writing Your Own Psalm of Lament
with Christopher Stewart
In this intimate session, priest and poet Christopher Stewart shares his story of surviving a brain injury that led to blindness and disability—and how lament became a lifeline. Stewart introduces the idea of “processing honestly with God,” even through raw language, and offers a compassionate framework for survivors who may feel spiritually “disabled.” He and Brian reflect on silence, doubt versus certainty, and the persistent presence of Christ amid suffering.
Listeners will learn a simple structure for writing a Psalm of Lament—complaint, petition, and resolution—drawn from W. David O. Taylor’s work and exemplified by Psalm 13. Stewart guides participants to name their pain precisely, interrogate God without fear, and close either with trust or continued sorrow. The session includes practical prompts, encouragement to sit in silence after writing, and concludes with a blessing honoring the sacredness of disabled bodies.
Bio
Before July 2022, Christopher Stewart was an able-bodied, recently ordained, visual artist and seminary student with a seemingly clear path before him. That same month and year he survived a life-altering brain injury which left him with multiple disabilities—blind, without much use of his hands, and dependent on others’ care.
In the time since then, through much prayer and processing, he began to see his disability as vocation. He was inspired to process his loss and disability, borrowing from the structure and language of the Psalms by composing a series of prayer poems called “Disabled Psalms.” He hopes to raise awareness of the disabled experience and to give others in the disabled and able-bodied communities a way to process their own experiences through the intimate language of prayer through his writing, online ministry, and live recitation engagements.
Fun fact: He is a dual citizen of both Narnia and Middle Earth, having read and re-read The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings countless times. He know these stories by heart, and they inform his creativity.

Listening to the Wisdom of Your Desires
with Tracey Gee
In this conversation, Tracy invites listeners to explore the question, “What do you really want?” as a pathway to aliveness, healing, and encountering a good and kind God. She reframes desire as a God-given compass and shares four common pitfalls that cloud it: an uncalibrated inner compass, minimizing desires, confusing thinking with doing, and being outcome-unaware.
Tracy offers practical tools like the 100 Desires list, action-as-experiment (letting action lead to clarity), and growing “uncertainty tolerance.” She grounds the work in Scripture, story, and community, emphasizing that saying “This is what I want” is a powerful statement of agency.
Listeners will learn how to identify “peak experiences,” calibrate their inner compass, name desires without judgment, and translate them into small, low-pressure experiments. They’ll also hear how community can de-shame desire, why disappointment can be instructive, and how this process helps undo high-control narratives and co-create beauty in the world.
Bio
Tracey Gee is a certified leadership coach and consultant who is a sought-after speaker and facilitator nationwide. She is endlessly curious about how people can learn more about themselves and come alive to their unique sense of meaning and purpose. She feels honored to have worked with a breadth of incredible individuals and organizations, including UC Berkeley, the NBA, and Coca-Cola, but her great ambition in life remains to pet as many dogs as possible. You can find her on social media @traceygee.me.
