#247 The Good, the Bad, the Ugly of Detoxing

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0400

At 24, Dr. Kate Davis was diagnosed with gastroparesis, an illness that causes severe bloating and constipation. Her gastroenterologist suggested a drug with an extreme side effect, or surgery. She went instead to a chiropractor who specializes in myofascial release, and after a light massage, her symptoms alleviated.

Fascia is a thin tissue surrounding our muscles. Waste, tension, toxins and even trauma can live in this tissue, causing lymphatic stagnation and tightness throughout the body if not properly released. Dr. Davis also recommends parasite cleanses, but she asserts that any form of cleanse, detox or release requires a detailed picture of how your body functions before beginning the detox process.

Your internal physiology is unique. Reach out to Dr. Kate Davis at her website to learn more about healing chronic gut issues.

#246 The Science Behind the Bible

Thu, 28 May 2026 10:00:00 -0400

John Zachary asks all non-believers a poignant question: if the Bible is myth, why does it foretell the future centuries in advance, to the very day? Zachary uses science to isolate the exact date of predicted events occurring centuries into the future. At center stage, we find Jesus the Messiah, and a key foretold event on an exact future date requires Jesus to rise from the dead.

Science and Christianity are not mutually exclusive. In this special episode, you'll find that, in fact, they affirm one another.

#245 Nothing Wasted

Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Like most newlyweds, Kim Patton and her husband looked forward to conceiving a family or their own. As the years went by, it became clear that they needed to look into alternative options. But Kim was reluctant. The internal leap from dreaming of conceiving her own children to reckoning with the disappointment that the dream looked different now was a deeply tender wound.

She gave her sorrow to the Lord. She and her husband began fostering children, and have since adopted children to complete the family the Lord ordained for them. Sometimes family looks different from what we envisioned, but the blessing of God's plan is worth it all. If you or a loved one are foster parents/adoptive parents and seeking a supportive community, go to https://kimpatton.com/ to purchase Kim's book and listen to her podcast, "Book Therapy with Kim Patton".

#243 The Dangers of the New Age

Thu, 07 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Doreen Virtue thought she was a Christian her whole life. She was raised in the practice of Christian Science, and became a reiki master and elements of Hindu and Native American spiritualism. She began to notice the delusion in the New Age practices she had adopted; the number one rule in this practice is to stay positive at all times, and resist negativity so you don't attract negative experiences. You turn to "spirit guides" to assist you in "manifesting prosperity".

She began to experience heavy spiritual warfare and saturated her mind and home with the Word of God to combat it, and turned her life around in full repentance to Jesus Christ. Follow Doreen on Instagram here.

God's promises are sure--but the timing in which they come to fruition is entirely under his jurisdiction.

#238 Exiled From India

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Author Liz Matney weaves a courageous and poetic memoir of faith, identity, and resilience across generations. Born in the US but shaped by her family's legacy in India, Liz returns to a homeland transformed by rising religious nationalism. What begins as a visit becomes a harrowing confrontation with betrayal, injustice, and the unraveling of a once-peaceful sanctuary.

Through lyrical storytelling and prophetic honesty, Matney explores the cost of speaking truth, the power of generational faith, and the deep ache of exile-even on native soil.

Home in Exile reveals

The quiet unraveling of pluralism in modern India
Betrayal within a legacy of faith and service
How prayer and perseverance shape identity in exile

More than a memoir, Home in Exile is a call to remember, resist, and restore what is sacred.

#237 Testimony From Iran

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Neli grew up in a deeply Muslim culture in Iran. Although she believed in God and yearned to know him, she began to rebel against the version of him she was taught about as a young teen. She cried out to God and asked him to reveal himself; and that, he did.

Jesus revealed himself to Neli in a transformative dream despite knowing very little about him. A friend secretly shared the gospel with her, and she privately accepted Christ. There was backlash when her family discovered her conversion, but her transformed character softened their hearts by the grace of God.

For her safety, she fled the country and now resides elsewhere. Neli's story is proof that Christ can meet us anywhere, even in places where the gospel is proactively suppressed.

Pray for Neli, her family, Iranians, and our world leaders during this time.

#236 God's Grace After an Affair

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Alicia Barr insists she is not a victim to the circumstances that shaped years of her life; rather, she takes full ownership of the multi-year affair she fell into with a man thirty years her senior. Her marriage crumbled, and she hit rock bottom. She felt deeply convicted to let go of the affair, release the secret, and the release the shame.

John 8:6-8 (NIV) says "Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them 'Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.' Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, 'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'

'No one sir,' she said.

'Then neither do I condemn you,' Jesus declared. 'Go now and leave your life of sin.'"

Alicia's book is set to release on April 7th: "More Than a Secret: How a Mistress Broke Free From Her Affair".

If you or anyone you know is involved in an affair, there is still redemption yet.

#235 Setting Healthy Boundaries

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Stephanie Jordan is a self-proclaimed former "codependent". Codependency is a behavioral condition characterized by relying excessively on another person for self-worth, identity, and emotional stability. Stephanie realized her childhood tendency towards codependency led her straight into the arms of an addict as an adult.

In confronting this habit, Stephanie learned that the first step to unlearning codependency is to forgive others for their imperfections, and then to forgive yourself for wanting to control them. This releases the codependent person from feeling the need to "play God" and set healthy boundaries within themselves and their relationships.

Stephanie is an author, speaker, teacher and boundaries mentor. Check out her most recent book, "The Death Tsunami", which details the aftermath of losing her husband and the faith forged in widowhood.

#230 Spiritual Health

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0500

Special guest Maureen Carrott recalls the impression the book The Hiding Place had on her as a 13-year-old girl. Corrie Ten Boom, the author, was imprisoned in a concentration camp alongside her sister Betsie. Betsie suggested they give thanks to God for the fleas that nipped painfully at their skin.

Other stories, like the biblical story of Joseph, also instilled within Maureen that gratitude should transcend circumstances. As this episode is airing, wife, mother, grandmother, friend to many around the world, and missionary Maureen went home to be with the Lord on December 16, 2025.

She began Crown of Beauty ministry with Sue Corl in 2005 in East Asia. They served together for seven years, and then several mission trips afterward. From the beginning, Maureen insisted that we offer one-on-one or small group prayer counseling at each conference. Most say that this is the highlight of each conference. Her honest, Christ-centered, vulnerable, joyful spirit and love for everyone we served brought healing to women wherever she went. Sue could not have pioneered this ministry without her.

As Sue's best friend, their ministry to the Chinese, Thai Karen, Lebanese, English, and Ugandan women was truly one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of their lives. Though Maureen left us earlier than any of us would have wanted, we know that her infectious laughter, deep worship and love of God, and deep connection with people is blessing those who have gone before us!

Ephesians 5:20: "Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ".

Dave Wiedis, founder of ServingLeaders Ministries, is an internationally renown expert in leadership and relational mediation. Dave asserts that spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are inextricably linked, and that adeptness in both categories is necessary to steward both personal relationships and our communities as a whole.

Dave's theory involves the idea that we all have a "ruling passion" that tends to undermine God's Lordship in our life, and we must both identify and subvert that ruling passion with the love of God with all our mind, heart, body and soul.

Most parents wonder when to introduce their children to the concept of spiritual warfare--it feels too heavy a topic to tackle so young. Jennifer Bosma's father told her candidly that her fear was "just the devil" at the fresh age of 8. Adults tend to underestimate just how perceptive children already are to realities of good and evil without yet having the language to articulate it.

When you speak truth gently and incrementally to your children, you are building the foundation of faith with the tools to navigate warfare with clarity and wisdom. Jennifer also encourages us to begin declaring scripture over our children and circumstances!

This offered a moment of perspective for Reverend Cheryl: Tiny Tim wasn't asking to be healed. He was asking to be used.

Luke 2:13-14 says, "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.'" The Greek word in the Bible for "Glory" implies a glorious light.

#221 From Stilettos to Grace

At 18 years old, Tiffany Brearton walked into a strip club to inquire about job opportunities. She had been sexually abused as a child, and she felt the only way to re-empower herself was to take her power back.

As a married 34-year-old with kids, she should have felt accomplished and happy; yet the skeletons of her past weighed her spirit down. She began attending a church that connected her with sexual trauma counseling, and each step she took towards Jesus loosened the chains of shame until the shackles fell!

Tiffany boldly shares her story to remind others that no one is too far gone and that God can turn even the darkest mess into a powerful message. She is the author of two transformational books: From Stilettos to Grace, her personal testimony of redemption, and From a Mess to His Message, a 21-day study guide designed to help women walk through healing, discover their God-given purpose, and turn their pain into purpose.

Through She Was Made for More, Tiffany leads healing groups, conferences, and speaking events that point women to freedom, faith, and identity in Christ. She is passionate about seeing every woman know she is seen, chosen, and made for more.

She was forced to resign from the prestigious job she'd worked so hard for and left nearly incapacitated.

In the aftermath, she wrestled with the Lord. Why had he halted her momentum? Why had he opened the door to her dreams, only to slam it shut? For years, Lara was bedridden, left to sit alone in the dark with just Jesus, her pain and her questions.

#211 A Mother and Child's Life-Changing Reunion

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 09:00:00 -0400

At 17 years old, pastor's daughter Anita Keagy got pregnant.

At the risk of sullying their reputation in the church, Anita's parents urged her to carry the baby to term, and she ultimately gave her up for adoption.

21 years later, Anita was able to meet her daughter for the first time. Suddenly, Anita realized that the connection she had yearned for with her daughter all the lost years is the same yearning our Heavenly Father has for us.

God used Anita’s own desire to know her child to impress upon her how much He wants to know His children – us! With that knowledge, a ministry was born that is now thriving and impacting lives every day. Anita founded Joyshop Ministries in 2006, with the mission to inspire people to spend time with God everyday.

Ingrid Hansen-Popp is very familiar with the patience it takes to adjust to a parents' declining mobility. Given the combination of family dynamics, health concerns, and current life responsibilities, it should be of little surprise that there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer.

Helping your parents as they age is a constant learning curve; and while the self-imposed expectation to care for them perfectly isn't realistic, having compassion for both them and yourself as you adjust to new dynamics and become a caretaker for the ones who nurtured you is essential.

Author, mentor and podcaster Rebecca George knows the feeling of yearning all too well. She was a twelve-time bridesmaid before it was finally her turn to get married.

Oftentimes, what we are waiting and yearning for is actually a God-given desire. What tends to happen is we begin to elevate our desires to idol-status, replacing the delicate balance of God's perfect peace with fear, impatience and confusion. This misaligned posture during waiting seasons clouds our clarity on what God is really doing.

Katie Jones has been investing in real estate since the age of 24. As a college student with loans, she realized she didn't fully understand how to tackle debt, and dedicated her young adulthood to learning how to properly steward money.

According to Katie's online course, here are the five pillars of Biblical money management:

1. Give

2. Live

3. Save

4. Owe

5. Grow

This generosity-forward approach to managing money with excellence reflects Christ's ultimate generosity towards humanity. Prioritizing kingdom-advancing work is a mindset shift from the world's emphasis on hustle-culture and wealth hoarding, which is a mindset rooted in scarcity and fear.

Sometimes, we aren't seeing God move because we haven't trained our eyes to see him. God is always participating in mankind. Seeking how God manifests himself must become a habit. Once we become sensitive to his voice and the way he moves, we can apply his vertical direction to our horizontal world. Make space in your life for the Lord to speak!

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:00:00 -0400

Four months after her son was born in 1999, Heather Bradley and her husband experienced a tragedy no parent should have to endure. Her son was diagnosed with a rare heart defect, and after several attempts to stabilize him, he passed away in his parents' arms. From the initial hospitalization to Brandon's passing, Heather felt the Holy Spirit's presence almost tangibly comforting her and guiding her.

The Bradley family navigated grief and PTSD in the aftermath. Yet through the pain, suffering and questions, the Lord's overwhelming goodness put the entirety of Heather's life--including this tragedy--into an eternal perspective. When we are undone by life's trials, it can feel like there is no way out. With Jesus, there is not only a way out, but freedom and healing.

Ashley asserts that our priorities don't need to compete, i.e. house maintenance, proper nutrition, working on your marriage, taking care of your child. These priorities can harmonize. She also asserts that our callings don't need to compete either. Many women have several callings: to be a mom, to serve in ministry, to start a business, or to work in a certain industry. It's essential for new moms to consecrate themselves to the Lord, and seek strength and identity from him, rather from the external wells of validation that we may have been drawing from in previous seasons of life.

Dean and Holly Kem Sunseri both have a history of addiction. For Holly, it was a drug addiction as the result of a tumultuous childhood. For Dean it was his father, who was supporting his alcoholic father in recovery.

Recovery from any ungodly habit requires repentance. Repentance is the act of first acknowledging what you're doing is wrong, and then committing to change.

This is the core principal of relationship. Practicing repentance--and in turn, forgiveness--it softens our heart. This practice ushers in the presence of God. Conversely, refusal to repent and unforgiveness is a doorway for the enemy to come wreak havoc, confusion and offense in your relationships.

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:00:00 -0400

Lena Bjorna is from a small town in Norway, but she always had ambitions to be a famous actress in Hollywood. She courageously moved to Los Angeles on her own at the age of 22, and instantly fell in love with America.

As a young Christian, she found that holding true to her convictions as an aspiring actress was difficult, as the pressure to conform to worldly standards to secure roles is immense. Eventually, the Lord led Lena out of Hollywood and into online marketing, where she became successful beyond her wildest dreams. She and her husband were able to purchase their dream home and travel the world...but just like with acting, she realized that her ambition for success had once again become an idol.

Her marketing business suddenly collapsed in 2013, and the Father has since taken her on a journey of surrender to discover true spiritual fulfillment.

As a new Christian, the process of sanctification showed her to lay down her life, piece by piece, at Jesus’ feet. One day she felt the Holy Spirit prompt her to begin sacrificing the blessings he had given her.

All along her journey, God was teaching Shiela to walk in what some might consider “crazy faith”. Often, God will ask us to sacrifice what makes us comfortable in order to replace it with blessings that yield spiritual fruit. It is in the discomfort of these sacrifices that we meet God at a deep level of surrender and trust.

Dr. Sheila Jackson holds an E.D. in Transformational Leadership and is an ordained Associate Pastor and Chaplain.

#182 Inner Healing Prayer

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0500

Tammy Kennington grew up in a deeply abusive and dysfunctional home. This led her to believe she was "dirty" and shameful. She developed complex PTSD, as is common for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and witnesses to domestic violence. She would daily experience flashbacks, constant nightmares, and crippling fear.

Over years of peeling back forgiveness layer by layer, she found prayer to be the most effective method of inner healing. Specifically, inner-healing prayer, which Tammy explains is a conversational prayer between the one seeking healing and the Lord. She starts by reflection, and inviting Jesus into her daily triggers and subsequent reactions to locate the root of that particular trigger. This method of prayer has greatly improved her mental health, her relationships, and has been the cornerstone remedy to help her overcome PTSD.

Tammy is currently writing a book, "Overcoming PTSD and Abuse".

What a relief and joy to discover the truths that God says about us! Learn more about Tammy on her website.

#181 Emotional Intelligence

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Society places a high emphasis on IQ-- the "intelligence quotient"--but what about EQ-- the "emotional quotient"?

Relationship coach Valerie Greene's definition of emotional intelligence is the ability to slow down and ask oneself, what feels harmonious in this moment? What can I say that would be in the highest good in this situation? What can I articulate that is most in alignment with Jesus' heart?

In conflict, for example, turning the other cheek and releasing the interaction to Jesus does not mean we repress the emotion. We must allow the courage to feel the emotion first so we then gain clarity on how to proceed forward.

Once we've slowed down enough to feel the emotion, we can then process information with an open heart. I'm upset that my husband didn't do the dishes, but why didn't he do the dishes? He was preparing for a job interview. The ability to process information with an open heart prevents unnecessary reactivity.

We all need care, support, and love. God's message on how to gain those things in our interpersonal relationships is the spirit of collaboration and respect.

#180 The Power of Sibling Relationships

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 15:00:00 -0500

In the testimony of many, the journey to finding Christ was not one moment in particular, but rather a series of encounters over time that awaken faith.

Coming from a close-knit family, Kelsey Gallant's relationship with her siblings began to shift over time as they grew up. These dynamic changes caused her to reevaluate how to share the gospel in a way that those close to her that were struggling with their faith would be receptive to.

The process of sanctification lasts a lifetime. As we mature on this journey with Christ, our discernment sharpens, our wisdom increases, and our sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit becomes second-nature. This process is largely catalyzed by challenges and obstacles in our closest relationships, and we give thanks for the grace and serenity God gives us to navigate those challenges.

#179 From Coma to a New Healthy Body

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 23:00:00 -0500

It can be difficult to be healthy. The best foods, supplements, and medicines can be extremely expensive, and we don't always have the time to maintain good habits. But what is the cost of neglecting one's health? Michelle Drew ended up in a medically induced coma after years of neglecting her own self-care. Doctors weren't convinced she would live, and if she did, she would likely have permanent brain damage.

Miraculously, Michelle awakened from the coma three weeks later. The uphill battle of recovery was steep; she had to learn how to use her fine motor skills again and overcome dense brain fog. Today, she has made significant strides to enhance her health and take full advantage of this divine second chance.

Refusal to rest and engage in healthy habits is abuse against oneself. God gifted us our bodies, and they are to be treated as sacred temples. If you have reached the point of physical, spiritual or emotional depletion, slow down, turn to the ultimate Healer (Jehovah Rapha) and take the necessary steps to nourish and revitalize yourself.

Imagine a world with no sadness, no brokenness, and no sin. It's unfathomable for us humans, who experience all the consequences of sin on a daily basis. We as believers know there is renewal for the earth on the other side of this, but what do we do in the meantime?

Dr. F. K. Taiwo reminds us that God desires for us to replicate the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. As ambassadors for God's kingdom, the role of the church is to bring the culture of heaven to earth. We must be very careful not to allow worldly culture to influence our kingdom assignment!

When Christ returns, we will be able to enjoy the fullness of the perfect earth that God originally intended for us to enjoy. Until then, we continue the work of establishing God's Kingdom.

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Charisse Walker worked her way up to become the director of several different schools in Utah when she found herself unceremoniously laid-off from the job she had poured her heart into. Recognizing the need to adapt to her unfavorable circumstances quickly, she obtained her real estate license and began flipping homes with her husband.

Charisse is now an author, runs a successful real estate business, teaches people how to invest in real estate, has her own podcast, and hosts an Emmy-nominated TV show called "The American Dream"; and it all started with getting fired from what was once her dream job!

God is a God of second chances. When we bring our messy circumstances back to him--messes we find ourselves implicated in, or messes we create--he regains control and can steer our lives back into alignment with his good and perfect will, which is SO much better than ours!

#175 Will My Pet Go to Heaven?

When Steve Wohlberg's beloved family dog Jax passed away, a friend sent him an email expressing the hope that they'd all one day reunite with Jax again in heaven. This began a years-long focused study for Steve to discover the Biblical truth behind the question: do animals go to heaven?

In his research, Steve learned so much about God's love for animals, and how much he desires us as people to connect with the rest of his creation. We serve a God of continuity. Psalms 104 and Romans 8 speak strongly to the idea that the animals we have cherished in this lifetime may very well be present in the New Earth.

As what can happen when one is raised in the faith and has extensive Biblical head-knowledge, she found herself bound to legalistic ideas of what "good" Christians do and don't do. She subconsciously subscribed to the idea that if she sinned, God wouldn't love her the same.

After a toxic relationship that caused massive contention in her relationship with God and years of rebellion, she found that despite her greatest fear that God would punish her in her rebellion, he didn't. Instead, she discovered a grace that has left her confounded.

#172 Healing in the Mess

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Poetry author Kaila Stanley has personally experienced God's supernatural protection and provision over her life. She has also lived through the consequences of forfeiting it.

Our salvation is achieved by grace alone, but access to many of God's blessings and his protection requires careful obedience to his instruction. Kaila learned that her unique anointing came with a divine call to be set apart in all aspects of life; even in ways that other Christians might consider extreme. It can be tempting to dabble in worldly things even after we have received salvation, but as believers we have been set apart from our carnal ways, as the wheat is separated from the tares.

As we grow and mature in our identity in Christ, we recognize that our anointing means we will never truly belong in this world. Discover more of Kaila's personal revelations in her book "Healing in the Mess: Collection of Poems" here.

#171 Myths and Truths of Foster Care

Thu, 12 Dec 2024 04:00:00 -0500

Reverend Cheryl Kincaid grew up in an abusive home. As an adult in seminary, she began to work with children in foster care and group homes, and she recognized a God-given assignment to advocate for young people who experienced a similar trauma to what she went through.

Rev. Cheryl understands that there is a hesitation for many families to take in foster children based on the stereotype that they are troubled. This stereotype does reflect an element of reality; that tragically, many of these children have been abused and have not had the opportunity to develop healthy habits in stable environments. However, while there will be a hill to climb, you would be making an indelible mark on the life of a child who desperately needs a loving home.

Fostering a child reflects the selfless love of Christ because to love someone, truly, is to allow yourself to be vulnerable. I know so many of us desire to see the next generation prosper. Are we collectively willing to ensure no child is left behind?

#170 Made for Community

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0500

In 2023, the U.S. Sergeant General released a report that declared loneliness and isolation to be a national epidemic. In a post-pandemic world we observe a concerning societal pattern of decreased community involvement and a rise in mental illness, political extremism and tribalism.

Hailing from the great state of Texas, Kim Gilson asserts that this is really a spiritual attack. God designed us to exist as the body of Christ; if the enemy can dismantle that cohesion and isolate us, then we are ultimately disconnected from our purpose. While church affiliation has been declining for decades, there is a strong positive correlation between regular church attendance and improved mental health.

Since isolation has become the new social norm, we must intentionally reintegrate ourselves into the unified community we were created to partake in. Above all, our attitude should reflect, "What can I give to this community?"

At the tender age of five, Mike Norten already recognized that this earth must have been fashioned by a masterful creator. Since then, his deep love for theology has multiplied.

Mike reminds us our relationship with God is a covenant, meaning we don't have to fear we will lose our salvation due to ongoing sin. The difference between our horizontal relationships here on earth vs. our vertical relationship with the Father is that God is omnipotent; he already knows the ways in which we will sin and be sinned against, yet his love remains unwavering and steadfast.

Having gleaned ancient knowledge from his friends of the Jewish faith, Mike generously imparts wisdom and deep knowledge of God's Word with us.

In her early adulthood, Jennifer Alai found herself with an unhealthy reliance on alcohol. When family brought the habit to her attention, she tried to stop; only separating from her then-husband caused a downward spiral that caused several hospitalizations and rehab stints.

Her health and relationships were rapidly deteriorating. At the lowest point, she was arrested for driving under the influence and faced one to five years in state prison. It was at that point that she realized how many times God had saved her from harm, and she promised him that if he delivered her from this addiction that she would dedicate her life to delivering others. She was admitted to her final rehab, where through grueling work and the strength of the Holy Spirit she recovered.

True to her promise to God, Jennifer now works for a drug and alcohol rehab center in Pennsylvania, and as a personal sobriety coach. She is five years sober, and continues her healing journey daily.

#167 No More Silenced

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Rebeccah Silence's last name is a powerful indicator of her life's testimony. Growing up with an alcoholic father, Rebeccah learned the protective behaviors of playing it small and codependence, which she calls "love trauma". As generational trauma can be cyclical, Rebecca found herself in an abusive marriage as an adult.

In order to commit to getting the most out of your one precious life, we must find reasons to leave toxic situations. For Rebeccah, she knew she wanted her daughter to live in a healthy, safe environment. That was her motivator to find the next aligned step to changing her life, even with the fear of leaving her violent husband and the subsequent consequences looming over her. The first aligned step was telling the truth of her situation to trusted friends. The second aligned step was to move with her daughter to a hotel. The third aligned step was healing the root of her trauma as she juggled multiple jobs to support herself and her daughter.

Healing her nervous system and past trauma helped break the generational attractions that caused Rebeccah to fall into destructive patterns that did not serve the person God created her to be. She describes this healing as a free fall, a reinvention and reclaiming process of who you really are, outside of survival.

Rebecca is now in a loving marriage, healed, and no more silenced.

Coming into agreement with God's timing for future marriage can be difficult in a world that constantly promotes romantic relationships.

We are all familiar with the pain of a breakup, whether it be through personal experience or anywhere in pop-culture today. Our society is so vocal about romantic loss, but a more common and oftentimes even more painful occurrence is the loss of a friend.

Kristen Reed Belveal is a jack of all trades: she's an author, podcaster, and mother who just recently launched a faith-based clothing line this year. Most notably, Kristen wrote a book called "When Best Friends Aren't Forever: A Faith-Filled Four-Week Guide for Healing After a Friendship Breakup", written from the desire for people to harness the natural grief of a friendship ending to intentionally mitigate bitterness and leverage sanctification.

The book delves into what a healthy friendship looks like: qualities like vulnerability, the ability to show up for one another in both difficult and prosperous seasons of life, and constructive criticism to help you increase in Godliness.

Conversely, unhealthy qualities in friendships can look like nitpicking the way you look and act with no edifying intention behind the criticism, encouraging destructive patterns in each other's life and codependency may mean that the friendship is leading you astray and may need to be reevaluated.

Kristen's book is available for purchase here, and her podcast called "Outside the Bubble" is available to listen to here.

Given our "go go go" lifestyles and obsession with convenience, it is all too common to experience uncomfortable and disruptive health problems. While it is common, is it normal?

This is the question Lea Dombrowski asked herself when her leaky gut caused majorly disruptive issues in her health. Chronic fatigue, digestion issues, bloating, insomnia and ultimately the loss of her period led to the diagnosis of an autoimmune disease--that she has since sent into remission through her pursuit of holistic health.

Although her mother worked in a hospital and helped Lia find doctors, they found that Western medicine was not successful in treating the underlying cause of Lia's discomfort. Now that she has gathered the tools and knowledge to help herself and others, she is a passionate advocate for exploring all facets of one's health in ways that doctors that might dismiss as anxiety or attempt to treat with medication that might only cause further disfunction in the body.

Constance Hastings became a Christian at a young age, but found herself fervently studying the life of Jesus to answer the many why's she had regarding her faith in Him.

As an adult, Constance wrote a book called "The Trouble With Jesus", alluding to the trouble that Jesus was born into and His supernaturally contentious life. He then overcame all trouble when He overcame death itself in His resurrection. Referencing the story of Mary and Martha having lost their beloved brother Lazarus, Constance sees the way they spoke to Jesus: as though He ought to have shown up to save Lazarus on their time and on their terms, rather than in the divine timing of of a providential God. Don't we all find ourselves in those moments? Telling Jesus how He ought to show up, rather than surrendering to how He does.

#158 Sharing With People of Different Faiths

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 10:00:00 -0400

As Christians, we've been taught to share the gospel generously and exuberantly--but how do we share the gospel in a way that others can be receptive to? Our guest, Karen Bejjani, co-founder of iHope Ministries alongside her husband, shares with us the FIVE essentials to remember when sharing Christ with an unbeliever:

1. As followers of Jesus, we love everyone: in words, actions and deeds.

2. You are looking for God might be wooing to Himself (looking for a person of peace).

3. Initiate prayer in Jesus' name. If they respond well to this initiative, their heart might be tender and available to the gospel.

4. Identify yourself as a follower of Jesus and briefly share what that means.

5. You'll share the Bible.

The key is to practice these principals authentically in your everyday life, and to practice them with a heart posture submitted and dependent on God. Learn more about Karen and Renod's extraordinary heart for unbelievers here.

#156 Freedom from Sexual Addiction

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Being raised in a happy and healthy household did not prevent Logan Hufford from falling into deep sexual addiction in his early childhood that continued through adulthood.

Logan recalls the first explicit photos he ever laid eyes on--it was a seemingly harmless store catalogue magazine his family had around the house. After the initial rush of excitement from these photos, the feeling of needing more to feel excited and satisfied kept Logan searching. Pleasure-seeking became his goal and, like a drug, he found himself desiring the depravity, even as a church-going Christian. Logan was convinced that marriage and parenthood would eventually break this habit, but the roots of lust he had watered soon grew into visible plants of addiction, dishonesty, and manipulation towards his wife.

Lust is a weed that never stays confined to where it is planted. After much struggle and surrender, Logan's internal "infrastructure" has been totally redeemed--and, by the grace of God, so has his marriage.

#154 Preventing Burnout

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Mindset Breakthrough Coach Celeste Stacey helps people through high stress scenarios and chronic overwhelm. She approaches her work from a deeply empathetic posture. There was a time in her own life where she had ignored, justified and rationalized feelings within herself that were begging to be acknowledged and processed, but she suppressed that instinct. This led to an "emotional implosion", where her body broke down completely.

There are differences between chronic overwhelm, anxiety, depression and burnout. Celeste emphasizes that acknowledging the specificity of your feelings can help identify the root of the emotions and tease them out more efficiently. Diagnosing our symptoms properly can identify the crucial next steps to truly heal. Chronic overwhelm, for example, is a state of constant restlessness and must be treated with cognitive therapeutic methods, rather than the way one might medicate clinical depression.

Identify your patterns, thought processes and toxic triggers to unveil emotional freedom in your life!

#153 Codependent Marriage

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Miriam Hampton started her marriage like any other newly-wed: full of optimism, passion and excitement for the future. Five years into the marriage, she found herself wondering if she even loved her husband anymore.

The Holy Spirit convicted her to change her focus, intentionally refocusing from the negative to the positive. She asserts that where we see good, there we see God. Once her heart posture towards her husband changed, she began praying for his deliverance from alcoholism. Proceeding with the knowledge that God loves our spouse more than we do, we open our hands and surrender our desire to control the situation. This is especially difficult in a co-dependent situation, where the dynamic and boundaries of the relationship become so severely warped. But when we let go, God can finally step in and do His work!

It was then that God began renewing Miriam, revealing her identity and worth independent from the role she had taken in on her marriage. It takes two healthy individuals to come together and be who God created them to be.

Miriam and her husband have now been married for almost 53 years. Read her book, "A New Song: A Christian Perspective to Bring Love and Life Back Into Your Marriage", here.

#152 Fear and Anxiety

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Healy E. Ikerd is a mother, author and licensed professional counselor. Her book "Changing Your Feelings". The title is self-explanatory, but the application is not so always so simple. The way that anxiety--excessive thoughts or worry--can manifest itself in physical symptoms and limiting mindsets, becoming like a weed in a garden if not handled swiftly and correctly.

Usually, anxiety is rooted in a legitimate fear that something difficult or traumatic might happen.
Identify the root if your triggers and avoidances. Are your feelings warranted given the context of the situation? Healy asserts that the only way to handle anxiety is to face exactly what you are afraid of in healthy doses of exposure.

As a Christian practice, Healy encourages any person dealing with anxiety to turn to the Word of God as their anchor to replace the detrimental lies of anxiety with the empowering truth of God. When you cling to scripture, you need to understand what the scripture means and then personalize it to your moment of crisis.

#151 God and Money

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

As a pastor's kid, Sarah Groen was well acquainted with discussions of tithing in the church. But is it possible that God desires more from us than just to tithe 10% of our income and do what we will with the rest?

Worldliness, greed, selfishness, and motivations outside of God's individual plan for us can actually keep us bound in our financial life. For some reason, money is an area of life that can be so difficult to surrender in our hearts. Everything under our stewardship belongs to God. We are the managers, rather than the owners, of all God-given gifts.

Our financial life is important to God. He wants so much for us in our financial lives, so much more than our striving can accomplish! Jesus desires freedom for us, in all senses of the word.

#150 Thrive or Just Survive

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 21:00:00 -0400

The weight of trauma is heavy. Even as time moves on after a hard situation--and we may think we've moved on, too--dealing with the damage in the aftermath is crucial to true healing.

PJ Victor encountered Jesus in early childhood, when she experienced continuous abuse at the hands of her mother's drug-dealing clients. While navigating the various obstacles of life, she realized that she had to come to terms with the innate connection between the mind, body and spirit in order to release the trauma and truly move forward in peace and freedom. We can find strength and emotional independence by following the Word, and applying mental and psychological healing tools to become a well-balanced person.

Through leaning into her faith, PJ went into "spontaneous remission" with her autoimmune disease, and has been for over a year. She asserts that mere survival is for people who operate within the limitations of society and man-made solutions. Thriving is for those who understand the freedom and authority we have as Christians, especially to facilitate our own healing journey through the power of the Holy Spirit.

18 years into pastoral ministry, Michael Acker spontaneously got hired into one of the Fortune 500 companies in the executive world. He wrote a massively successful book on public speaking and authored several more, and he went into full-time corporate training. Last year, he realized he wanted to combine his ministry expertise with his corporate expertise, two worlds that do not traditionally intersect.

On one hand, Michael knows God has an exact plan, and on the same hand, he asserts we must acknowledge the tension between God's preordained plan and our free will; that whatever you do, you do it heartily for the glory of God (Colossians 3:17). There are times that God directly readjusts, and times that He allows us to wander within the boundaries of the hedge of His protection.

If anyone knows dogs are man's best friend, it's Rachel Shirley. Rachel has a very unique, yet much needed ministry: as a grief counselor, she walks people through the loss of their pet. Since she was very young, Rachel has always had a love for animals. Today, refers to her beloved boxers as her "fur babies".

While her love for animals is intrinsic to her personality, Rachel observed an even more profound gift within herself: the ability to walk with people through hard times. Having experienced grief in her own life, she has taken what she learned during those hard seasons to extend empathy and compassion for those navigating their grief journey.

Rachel finds that many people are taken aback by the depth of the grief they experience when a pet passes away. The emotional dependence forged between constant touch, eye contact and presence can result in a relationship as strong--or sometimes even stronger--than our human ones.

#147 From Atheist to Believer

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Stéphanie Rousselle, founder of Gospel Spice Ministries, grew up staunchly atheist. "Religiously atheist", she jokes. In her native France, the general attitude toward religion is one of condescending contempt. Much of Europe is post-modern, therefore much of society is "post-God".

As a teenager, Stéphanie spent time as a foreign exchange student with a family in the United States. This family just so happened to be Christian. Over the course of her year with them, Stéphanie experienced a peaceful, intentional love. She saw faith in practice, not just in philosophical theory. As the seed of faith was watered and planted in her, she describes the discomfort of coming into agreement with the Gospel. Stéphanie believes God confronted her with the reality of Christ's resurrection to appeal to her intellectual integrity. Unable to deny the facts, she took a bold step of faith to believe!

Even though she adopted a this belief system, she struggled to actually put her faith in the claim that God is a perfect and trustworthy Master. Adopting an ideological belief is one thing, but to lean the full weight of your life on a God you cannot see, touch or feel is another. The Holy Spirit invited Stéphanie to embark on a soul-journey to truly experience His presence, transcribing head-knowledge to heart-knowledge.

Today, she is a wife, mom, podcaster, Bible teacher, and lover of Jesus.

Our Father woos all of us to His heart is such creative, unique ways.

#146 Recognizing God's Direction

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

We live in a world rife with distractions. With so many voices seeking to pull us in every which direction, how can we know which voices to listen to, and which to disregard?

Missionary Shawn Paul, currently serving in Central America with his wife, has learned the necessity of cultivating an intimate relationship with God. He makes the reference of the precision of a flight path: pilots must follow this path perfectly. Deviating from the course even one degree can take you to a completely different city than you originally intended!

In order to walk confidently in the direction God has laid out for us, one must be familiar with the sound of His voice. This takes daily reflection--sometimes even whole seasons of isolation--to meditate on the sound of God's voice and learn how the Holy Spirit gently whispers and guides, above this noisy world. Shawn emphasizes that being a vessel for the Holy Spirit requires a degree of flow and flexibility. We must constantly be seeking the guidance and wisdom of that still small voice.

#144 Single Moms' Struggles and Successes

Stephanie R. Weber is a writer, adventure-seeker, new grandmother and single mom. Stef has raised her two children, aged 26 and 17, all on her own for almost 15 years. Seeking support as a single income parent, Stef felt God calling her to be a voice of advocacy for other single parents in the church, but she consistently felt misunderstood and belittled by the Christians there. While she was physically welcomed into their community, the emotional rejection created an environment of alienation for Stef.

A friend invited Stef to a new church, which offered support and loving friendships for Stef, and male figures to represent a paternal influence for her kids. The expectation for single mothers to “do it all” only reinforces a narrative of isolation and comparison. God can take any situation and use it for His good! He will bring people to come into your life to lift you up and stand in the gap for your family. Community brings us strength, but our strength ultimately comes from God.

Our stories and experiences matter significantly to God. Stef lives in accordance with the reality that our worth does not come from anything on this earth. Today, she is fulfilling her calling as an advocate for all women seeking their identity in Christ despite the difficult circumstances they face.

Author Angela’s love for Italy began when she and her husband went to Italy on their honeymoon. The country captivated her, and became the inspiration behind a work of fiction Angela began to write set in Tuscany. To authenticate her characters, she decided to take another trip to a tiny Tuscan town. It was there, off the beaten path, that Angela experienced unprecedented inspiration and creativity.

She and her husband purchased a renovation property in that town, where they eventually discovered that their new home was so run-down it needed to be demolished before it could be rebuilt and refurbished.

Angela asserts that in the same way buildings need strong foundations, people do too. Sometimes when we have built false identities for ourselves and realities around faulty truths, God must demolish the root of the lies In order to erect a spiritual foundation within us that He Himself designed.

Loss is a natural part of life, but the loss of a child is the most excruciating, unnatural loss one can endure.

In the '90s, Author Carole Sluski was a divorced mother of two young adults, and on the verge of marrying her new fiancé. During this happy and bustling time, tragedy struck. Her daughter Paula passed away from complications from a pulmonary embolism. Thus began Carole's harrowing journey of grief. Carole emphasizes that once she found peace with the fact that Paula's soul is safe in heaven, she had to redirect her energy to ensure her own health and well-being.

Grief is an intensely physical experience. The body stores stress and pain, causing severe health issues if left unaddressed. In the years following Paula's death, Carole was diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses and underwent several surgeries for parts of her body that were malfunctioning. The crushing weight of her heartbreak caused distress, but her faith in Jesus helped her to see the pain through a new lens. Carole found deep intimacy and comfort in her relationship with God. New fruit bloomed in her life!

Most of all, Carole encourages us to focus intently on the happiness and the miracles in our life and amplify that joy unto others.

#141 Near Death Experiences

Thu, 16 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Near death experiences can be both daunting and intriguing. As believers, we can take comfort in these testimonies knowing that there truly is eternal life with our Creator at the end of our life on earth. Who can forget that precious little boy Colton Burpo, who recounted his story of going to heaven and coming back on every news outlet and even published a book and produced a movie about his astonishing journey. There are so many stories just like his! One such story is the story of our guest Calvin Cassady. Calvin is a leader in his Native American community and retired school teacher from Southwest Missouri.

Calvin calls his testimony "a roundtrip to heaven and back": when he was 19 years old, he and some college friends were in an explosive car accident in the Ozarks. Miraculously, a few strangers managed to pull all three people from the car and call 911, and they disappeared before the ambulance came. Calvin was so critically injured he began to transition from life to death. He describes this journey to heaven as coming into a tangible awareness of sin, repentance and the devil, because in his transit to heaven both sin and the devil were left behind. Hallelujah!
On Calvin's way back to earth as he was revived, he felt the weight of sin and the brokenness of this earth return back to his consciousness.

Calvin asserts that when we lose people on this earth, we should rejoice for the person who has passed. For those of us who have not had a near death experience we cannot know the magnitude of the joy of heaven, but we can listen to the stories of those who have and look forward to that indescribable joy that we, too, will experience one glorious day.

#140 Raising Spiritually Minded Kids

Thu, 09 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

As a mother of five and a grandmother of fifteen, author Karen Whiting has plenty of experience parenting. Karen's goal is to help grow wholesome families who embrace their faith. The Institute for Family Studies has concluded that shared prayer is the most powerful predictor of both relationship quality between family members and faith retention in children. Family devotional time exploring God's character together and making studying the Bible fun are ways to help your children learn to walk with the Lord.

For many families, the restriction of time in the midst of busy schedules makes intentional prayer time difficult. If you don't make an effort to connect your children with faith while they are young, it will be harder to assert faith as a priority as they get older and continue the habits they were initially instilled with. Most importantly, if you establish a daily routine to walk out your faith for yourself, you will personally demonstrate how to honor Jesus in the everyday mundane. The stronger your personal walk with God is, the deeper your children will understand the heart of God and His divine purpose for our life. As Karen suggests, these methods help your kids develop a true perspective of the Christian life, rather than a two-dimensional worldview. When our identity is rooted firmly in Him, the seed of faith a parent plants are eventually nurtured into trees, bearing much fruit.

#139 Understanding Narcissistic Abuse

Thu, 02 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Narcissism is defined as a psychological disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of grandiosity, arrogance and entitlement. Guest Dana Stuedemann warns us that these characteristics are more than mildly off-putting: they can cause immense suffering.

Having experienced abuse in childhood, Dana found herself ill equipped to discern what a healthy romantic relationship should look like. When she met her ex-husband, he promised her the love she had always so desperately desired. Though he said and did all the right things to attract Dana and gain her trust, he concealed his narcissistic tendencies. She found herself, again, in a marriage much like the situation of her childhood; where she was belittled, dismissed, and manipulated.

Dana emphasizes that not all narcissists are abusive, but when they are, the abuse is expansive: financial, physical, verbal, psychological and sexual. These tactics are evoked by the narcissist to avoid accountability at all costs, control their victim, and to control the narrative surrounding their public image. Because narcissists lack empathy, they casually gaslight their victim into questioning their very reality. Narcissistic abuse is particularly insidious because these individuals are preoccupied with curating an aspirational public image. Victims then struggle to contend with the reality of the abuse they suffer at the hands of someone so highly regarded, let alone coming forward with allegations of the abuse! It may be difficult for those on the outside to accept that this person who presents themselves as charming and helpful could be capable of such wickedness.

If you or a loved one are experiencing narcissistic abuse, seek help and refuge immediately. God has not intended for you to suffer at the hands of those that do not feel remorse. Contrary to what the narcissist wants you to believe, you do not deserve any of the evil they commit against you. God desires fulfilling, healthy, and flourishing relationships to fill your cup and remind you of your divine worth.

#138 Sleep Makes a Difference

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Do you have trouble quieting your busy mind and establishing healthy sleep habits? Studies show that the average American does not get enough sleep.
Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a sleep specialist who grew up with a negative connotation around rest. Working all the time was the norm and expectation, which only grew more intense throughout med school and after having children. She became very anxious and her performance in all aspects of life declined significantly, when she had a sudden epiphany to begin setting boundaries with her responsibilities to prioritize rest. She experienced a major transformation in her life!

Sleep actually clears the wasteful deposits that build up in the brain that can cause Alzheimer's, heart attacks and strokes. Our executive function, metabolism, responsiveness, and even our ability to learn and create are dependent on our sleep habits!

Dr. Afolabi-Brown emphasizes that God Himself created rhythms of life. Jesus would step away to rest with His disciples to restore His energy. If the God of the universe rested, how much more do we need rest to reinvigorate ourselves? Establishing a bedtime routine that maximizes our sleep quality is imperative for a healthy, fruitful life.

#137 Cravings of the Soul

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Humans are not simply biological creatures. We are holistically robust, and just as we were created to need water and air, we also have spiritual needs.
Pastor Cory Rosenke has a book called "The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the 5 Cravings of the Soul". Cory's theory asserts that these 5 cravings have been placed in us purposefully by God to ultimately draw us back to Him. The 5 cravings are: security, identity, independence, significance, and innocence. These cravings have propelled all of humanity throughout time. These cravings are deeper than biology and psychology, they pertain to the needs of the soul!

It is important to recognize that these cravings transcend what we see in the natural world; more often, what we may perceive to be a biological issue is actually a spiritual one. Your soul is the core of who you are, the attribute that best defines you even more than your brain and your body. All throughout scripture, the saints of old supplicated God on behalf of their souls. How do we break the lie that life is about our biological inclinations, and begin to live with God's perspective?
We cannot live an extraordinary life when relying on anything outside of God to fulfill us. God is not merely the satisfier of our tangible needs and desires, He is the answer to all the existential questions our souls long to know.

#136 Helping Those Who Are Grieving

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Do you ever struggle with how to show support to a loved one in mourning? Today's guest Julie Lynn Ashley is a thanatologist: a specialist dedicated to better understanding death, grief, and loss. She offers us the practical do's and don'ts of supporting a bereaved person, and offers insight into the stages and types of grief.
We must learn to sit with someone in what Julie Lynn calls the "dissonant chord" of an unfixable situation. Grief cannot be fixed this side of heaven; rather, processed through.

Called from a young age, Julie Lynn is deeply passionate about coming alongside bereaved people experiencing loss. In the four to six weeks after the funeral, the deceased's loved ones are not only navigating shock, brain fog, and immense sadness, but are also tasked with an overwhelming load of administrative work. Showing up with the support of a meal, helping out around the house, or even a simple phone call can mean so much to the bereaved. Grief is not linear, so provide encouragement for each small step of life for the bereaved as they adjust to their new normal.

Even Jesus, all powerful and almighty, sat in the dissonant chord of death with Mary and Martha. He wept! Be brave and enter into the sadness with a grieving person. Grief is heavy, and to be the hands and feet of Christ means we as a community help carry that pain.

#134 Parable of the Talents

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel stagnant and unfulfilled, like you aren't using all the gifts and talents God has given you? There was a time when today's guest Carrie Baker felt the same way. With the all-encompassing tasks of a working mom, she felt too busy managing to her primary responsibilities to tune in with herself and develop the skills to cultivate more for God. Sometimes, we shy away from using our God-given talents because we are believing the enemy's lies about us. When we get to the place of searching and seeking, God calls us back to Himself and to our purpose.

We must resist, however, the temptation to falsely conflate sewing the seeds of talent with striving. God desires for us to sew what He has entrusted us with. So whatever season of life you are in, whether you have been entrusted with much or with little, say YES to maximizing all you have for God's glory. At the end of the day, we all desire to hear the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant," from our Heavenly Father at the end of this life.

#133 Positive Communication in Marriage

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Marriage isn't just for mere companionship; God intends our marriages to thrive! However in the daily mundane, working on your marriage can be the last thing on your mind. This lack of intention can cause couples to slowly drift apart. Leslie and her husband have a marriage ministry called Heart Call, where they encourage couples to reconnect in God-honoring ways.

Leslie strongly believes that as long as the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we will be consistently sanctified by the Holy Spirit to dissolve habits that may be harmful to our marriage. Since the sanctification process lasts a lifetime, it is simultaneously necessary to be understanding toward our spouse's weaknesses. Remember, the beauty of marriage is that our spouse may possess qualities that we do not, and vice versa. Our differences sharpen one another.

No task is more important than protecting your marriage. Tune in to hear more of Leslie's story and process!

Why does it seem like when one thing goes wrong in our life, it creates a domino effect? In seasons of chaos and heartache, we often feel uprooted and confused. Jennie Denney went through such a season of pain in her life where isolation fostered the lie that she was alone and not good enough. She asserts that it is vital to allow God to sit with us in our pain to keep the lies of the enemy at bay, as well as to find one person--a spouse, a counselor, a friend--who will come alongside us to help process tumultuous emotions.

Jennie asserts that often disappointment and discouragement go hand in hand in our lives. Psalm 121:1-2 was a source of encouragement for her as she leaned into the grief of derailed expectations, comforted that even if her circumstances were difficult, the God of the universe was with her.

See 1 Kings 19:4, where the prophet Elijah found himself in a season of depression. Alone in the desert, the Lord rejuvenated Elijah with rest, spoke life into him, and sent him a companion in Elisha so Elijah would no longer be alone.

#131 Self-Care; 4 Critical Areas

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 05:00:00 -0500

When we think of self-care, vacation and a day at the spa may come to mind. While these activities certainly soothe our bodies, what can we do to soothe the mind and soul? Do you struggle to take the time to process difficult emotions? In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to allow our inner thought life to fall to the wayside, eventually leading to burnout and despair.

Janice McWilliams is a therapist, spiritual director, writer and speaker. As a ministry leader with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, she taught ministry skills addressing the value of life-balance. As she moved into spiritual direction and therapy, she began to consider the critical aspects of self-care so people in ministry can maintain their mental health and thrive. She shares how taking control of her thoughts and emotions has substantially improved her quality of life.

Janice's book, Restore My Soul, explores the four critical areas of self-care to help us bring our full emotional self to our relationship with God. This authenticity and mindfulness helps us to mitigate stress and establish a healthy, fulfilling rhythm.

#130 How to Help the Brokenhearted

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Do you ever feel like you don't know how to help those who are brokenhearted? What should I say? Is there anything I can do to take away their pain? At times we may want to run away because we don't know what to do or say. Other times, we dive in with the person but feel overwhelmed by their pain.

After years of being a youth pastor, Brenda Seefeldt started Larger Story Virtual Church. She is a pastor, writer, wife, speaker, and mentor. Her book, I Wish I Could Take Away Your Pain: How to Be That Compassionate Friend, came out of her own story. She knew from an early age that she would not be able to have children. However, God has blessed her with four young boys to mentor. They came to her from troubled families when they were pre-teens. Sadly, two ended up in prison. This has been a growing experience for Brenda as many responded to her in hurtful ways.

Brenda shares that quick responses of "I will pray for you" or a short platitude without being more engaged in the person's story does not help. She shares what it means to healthily carry someone's pain.

Brenda's life lessons of what she learned through painful seasons give us great enlightenment on how to walk through suffering and how to embrace others as they are in pain. Listen to this episode and learn more about bravery, trust, love, and God's faithfulness.

#129 Thriving During Transitions

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0500

What is one of the hardest transitions you have ever had? These can be challenging times. Loneliness. Feeling lost and insecure. Not having roots. Feeling stupid because you can't do things and get places. These are just some of the feelings we can have during times of transition. Our guest, Wendy Zahorjanski understands our struggles. As a missionary, she has had many transitions. She currently is a church planter in Serbia. At age 19, she moved to Kryzkstan, then to Hungary, and then to Serbia. Wendy shares many interesting stories of her experiences overseas.

There are many transitions in our lives besides moving. Going to college, getting a job, getting married, having kids, empty nesting, new jobs, retiring, and other things. For Wendy, her most difficult time was when she moved to Serbia. It was a very lonely and insecure time.

Here are some wise words from Wendy:
During transitions, be kind to yourself. Let go of guilt and shame. It is common to be exhausted amid so many changes, so try to get more rest. Give yourself grace and tell yourself it is normal to go through the emotions and struggles you are having. Rely on God as He never changes. He is your rock and your anchor. Remind yourself that the Lord knows and understands you, even though others may not.

Changes can help you let go of control and put God more in control. Wendy said, "Part of my personality was lost for a season. I normally am funny, but in another culture and language, I didn't have the language or cultural cues to be funny." Expect that it takes time to adjust to changes, so give yourself grace. It can take a long time to build a community, but push yourself to get out there.

Don't compare your new friends with friends you used to have, or your old community with your new community. Friends in a new culture can be very different and it can take time to bond. Find a cultural insider with whom you can ask questions. Never criticize the culture with someone from that culture. Don't just hang out with friends from your own culture, but get to know the local culture. However, having a few friends who are from your background can be a place of safety, support, and comfort.

#128 The Kingdom Divorce-Proof Coach

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Too bad there is not a spray we can use to make us divorce-proof! Marriage is not easy and requires a lot of work. However, by God's grace and following some practical counsel, we can have a more joyful, harmonious, and joyful marriage. Veronica Sutherland calls herself the divorce-proof coach from Jamaica. Listen to today's podcast to hear five of her practical strategies to have a healthy and happy marriage.

Veronica's marriage started out quite difficult. She realized that couples should NEVER think about or ponder divorce, but resolve to work through things and stay together.

Veronica's Five Principles of Marriage:
1. Put God first! Spend time with the Lord first. Make decisions, pray, and study the Word individually and with your spouse.

2. Forgive all hurts between each other. Also forgive all individuals, even from your past.

3. See marriage as a lifelong covenant. Expect hills and valleys but persevere through them. Don't rush into marriage. Give it time to see if you are compatible and how you do in different situations.

4. Be comfortable with yourself. Do not go into a marriage with a false self. This is not your best. Be your authentic self. Get healing and freedom from lies. This will have a direct positive impact on your spouse and kids. Accept yourself and your spouse. Don't compare your spouse to others.

5. Love and respect each other. (See the last episode for more on this - Male and Female Differences).

#127 Differences of Men and Women

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Are you needing some helpful counsel regarding your marriage? Veronica Williams is a Certified Life Coach who helps couples, churches, and organizations to have healthy relationships. In this episode, we talk about the differences between men and women and how to strengthen our marriages.

Veronica points out that men and women see things from different perspectives which can cause conflict. Good communication will help couples understand each other's perspectives. Typically, if a woman does not receive love from her husband, she will have trouble showing him respect. If a man does not receive respect from his wife, he often will not feel loved. This leads to a "crazy cycle" in their marriage. Couples need to learn to ask clarifying questions to be better listeners. Men usually want to fix the problem, but women often just want to be listened to and understood.

The primary need of a woman is to feel beautiful and loved. The primary need of a man is to feel he is good enough. Couples need to spend time with each other so they can be emotionally connected and know each other's needs. This will also enhance the couple's intimate/sex life. Marriage requires vulnerability, but this can be harder for men. It is important to remove unrealistic expectations. This can be done if you more often communicate your needs to each other.

It is vital to find things in common to help you enjoy each other. Veronica has several other great suggestions to help us have healthy marriages.

#126 The Challenges for Young Adults

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

What challenges do you face during your stage of life? Our guest this week, Lisa Anderson is the director of Boundless, a ministry of Focus on the Family. Boundless has a radio show, podcast, blog, and ministry outreach to encourage young adults (those in their 20's and 30's).

50% of the adult population are single adults. There are unique challenges that singles face. Many times singles feel isolated or are treated as second-class citizens. Lisa shares her own stories that help give you excellent tips to thrive as a single. She encourages singles who want to be married to be okay with grieving their singleness, but then take steps to build community. Use your gifts to serve and take initiative to care for others. Creatively find ways to meet other single and married women. Don't hesitate to spend time with older women to learn from them. Be honest with others who may not understand your needs.

Millennials and Gen Zs have many unique challenges too: Getting into the housing market, experiencing the highest rate of mental health challenges, burnout, the comparison trap, and feelings of hopelessness. Young adult Christians have the challenge of being a minority in their beliefs and being judged by their peers. This challenge breeds authenticity and dedication in their faith. Lisa encourages those who are listening to lean into their community. Listen to this podcast and find out ways to face and conquer your unique challenges.

#125 Abandonment

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt the pain of rejection or abandonment? Whether from a friend, boyfriend, spouse, or parent, rejection can burn a deep wound in our souls that is hard to recover from. My guest, Kimberly Bell, experienced the trauma of her parents giving her away when she was only five years old. By the grace and mercy of God, He has brought her out of years of barely surviving to become a woman of God who is thriving! She is now an author, speaker, mentor, counselor, mother of five children, and grandmother of six grandchildren. Listen to this week’s podcast and see how God can heal us from our painful past of rejection and abandonment.

From her earliest years, though her mother was very unkind to her, she fought to be loved and accepted by her. During an extremely violent altercation between her mother, sister, and father, Kim was sent to her aunt and uncle’s. Much to her sadness, she never returned to her parents.

As Kimberly grew up, she always sought validation to be accepted by others. She kept searching for someone to fight for her but never got this. She became exhausted trying to get others’ love and support. After years of struggle, Kim finally began healing when she realized she was “worth it,” and deserving of love.

Another part of Kim’s healing came when she accepted what happened to her. She embraced her past and then surrendered her brokenness to God to rebuild her foundation. She went to the Scripture to let it restore her to walk in truth.

God has the best for us, so we need to trust Him - even the painful things done to us. Abandonment leaves us with lies that we are not good enough, not worthy of love, and rejectable. Reject lies and accept the truth that we are worthy of being loved. Abandonment hurts. It is not an easy fix, but nothing is impossible with God. Her final word of encouragement is to tell us that though it is our natural tendency to blame ourselves for the rejection and abandonment of others, it is not our fault.

#124 Unseen People

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0500

Join us today to hear my interview with author, DeAnna Sanders. She worked for ten years in Indonesia helping women who have been sex trafficked or abused. With an estimate of 40 million women and children being sex trafficked every year, we ought to begin to take notice. DeAnna has traveled around the world seeing the unseen people. Her goal now is to open our eyes through her writing of her experiences overseas. It is so easy to get caught up in our troubles, but DeAnna challenges us to open our eyes to people all around our neighborhoods and the world with great needs. We can make a difference through prayer, giving, mission trips, and helping people around us with tangible needs. There are people right in our neighborhoods with great needs, but who feel unseen and uncared for. Ask the Lord who He would like you "to see." Pray about how you can help. Small acts of love and giving can change a family's lives.

#123 Meditation in Christ

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Our guest Rachael Lahela Marie Nayder is an author of the devotional book, Love Notes from Jesus, and a retreat facilitator. Her book can be found on Amazon under the author’s name, Rachael Marie.

In a heavy, dark time of transition and isolation during COVID-19, Rachael reconnected with God. She was waking up with anxiety and depression and cried out to God, “If you are real, show yourself.” She already did yoga meditation, but it wasn’t with Jesus. But this time, Jesus flooded her with an overwhelming love and peace. Suddenly, she knew the voice and Presence was Jesus. She began to meditate with Jesus and every time His peace and Presence would fill her heart.

For years, Rachael did yoga but that drew her into herself and an energy not from God. The similarity between yoga and meditation in Christ is they both allow stillness, focus, and listening. But rather than listening to only her body, she now listens to the Lord. She invites Jesus in! Now the Lord is the cornerstone of her life. She goes about living her life to help others know Him. Her focus is on loving God first, not self-love or outward things.

At her retreats, Rachael takes everyone through the same steps she does in her meditation times. First, she spends time quietly in nature. Then, she gets her excess, “busy” energy out by moving her body. This is followed by sitting quietly and thinking about what is going on in her body and heart. She lets herself feel the emotions completely, even the negative energy, like anger or worry. But then, give all those emotions to God. The next step is to identify where in her body she is feeling the emotion. Oftentimes there is a disease or inflammation in that area. Ask the Lord to bring His energy of His love into the painful areas of your physical body or emotions. Let God fill you with His love and then share this healing energy of love with others. We are vehicles of God’s love on this planet.

Soak in Rachael’s meditation method and then go spend time with God discovering His peace that surpasses understanding!

Or even how to pray for healing? Our Canadian guest, a scholar and author, Dr. David Chotka has a lot to say about the topic of prayer and healing. He will share with us the five pathways to healing. His Doctorate in Spiritual Theology focused on discernment, so David gives us insight into understanding God's will as it pertains to healing.

#121 From Grief to Purpose

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Grieving is such a difficult time, but our guest Darlene Larsen helps us learn how we can turn it from pain to purpose. Darlene is a grief and loss coach. She has personally been through so much grief from an abusive husband, divorce, and the death of several significant family members. Transitions also bring grief. It is so key to learn how to work through the grieving process and not get stuck. Darlene shares her struggles from a toxic relationship of emotional abuse. She gives us insight into how to get freedom from the lies and other bondage that resulted from the abuse. She shares how God's Word has brought freedom into her life.

She helps us to see that grief takes time. But she encourages us to gain a support team to help us through the grief. We all need people who will speak truth to us. Healing comes as we ask the questions: Why am I alive? What is my purpose? God can redeem our pain to then use it to help others.

#120 Christmas Special - In the Waiting

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Merry Christmas everyone! Today I will be giving a special Christmas message. We will dig into the story of Christ's birth in Luke 1-2. In this story, we will look at five of the characters who were waiting for the Messiah to come and their reactions when they were told "He is here!" Mary, Elizabeth, the shepherds, Simeon, and Anna each had different responses: excitement and faith, trust in God, curiosity, praise and worship, and proclamation to others. How about you? We know the Messiah will come again. In this episode, we will think about which character we most resemble. Are we preparing ourselves for the coming of the Lord? We will learn how Jesus tells us to prepare. We will be challenged to wait for the Lord with eagerness, and earnest obedience to live a life pleasing to the Lord - ready for our Bridegroom's arrival!

He used her work with clay to teach her many lessons and help her through the trials. Listen to this week’s podcast to see the many analogies and lessons we can learn from pottery about our walks with God: Trusting in God’s timing, confidence in the Lord's plan for us, our uniqueness that God wants to use for His glory, and many other lessons.

Our guest, Mirella Acebo is an author, actress, producer, storyteller, in the television world, mother, and life coach. Raised by a single-mom immigrant, she saw a mom who was a godly, hardworking example of how to walk with God. But she never saw an example of a family with a husband, father, and siblings. After getting married, having two young children, and losing her mother to cancer, she struggled emotionally. She began to read books about how to raise children but wasn't finding in them how to deal with her emotions like fear, anxiety, and worry. As she grew emotionally through her study of the women of the Bible, she wanted to write a book to help Moms manage their emotions: feelings of failure, overwhelm, impatience, abandonment, control, loneliness, worry, and suffering. She beautifully integrates these lessons with various stories of women in the Bible. Be encouraged through Mirella and Sue's discussion of various tips to help us navigate our challenging emotions as mothers.

#117 Empowering Leaders

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week's guest, Kerry Resch will share with us how to develop leaders and come alongside people to empower them to become all that God designed them to be. Kerry has been a staff worker with Cru for many years, serving in several capacities of leadership, currently as a coaches' coach. She also is a mother of five children. I learned firsthand when she was my supervisor that she not only is a godly woman but also an inspiring and helpful coach who has guided many to have fruitful ministries.

Kerry shares some principles of how to empower leaders to lead:
1. "People don't care what you know until they know that you care."
2. Find out how they are doing personally.
3. What do they need in order to reach their goals?
4. Listen to them.
5. Show them appreciation.
6. Be a cheerleader for them.
7. Align those you are leading to the vision and mission while giving them freedom in how to express this.
8. Know your people and adapt your leadership to each person's personality and what environment in which they best thrive; such as, How much structure or freedom do they need?

What can you do to help yourself to grow as a leader?
1. Take time to self-reflect.
2. Enjoy deep community with the Lord.
3. Have a coach or two in your life - one for your personal growth and one for your work growth.
4. Lead in the context of a team.

Helpful tips to avoid burnout:
1. Become comfortable saying "NO."
2. Live out of your values.
3. Maintain your margins.
4. Step out when it is time to move on or you cannot meet the expectations of the job.
5. Deal with areas in your life that need healing.
6. Be vulnerable and authentic with others. Don't fight to live up to others' expectations, but rather, follow God's will.
7. Don't get into a cycle of the tyranny of the urgent. Plan ahead,
8. Have a couple of people who know you well, cheer you on, and accept you even with your flaws and mistakes.
9. Have a friendship or coach on the outside to give you perspective.
10. Don't be afraid to fail - we learn and grow through it.

#116 Never Too Old or Too Young to Try New Things

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Dottie Small is a role model to all whom she knows. Her mindset is that you are never too old and it’s never too late to try new things and serve the Lord. In her 80’s, she looks 25 years younger and has the energy of a 50-year-old! At 82, she started a podcast, Thoughts to Ponder. She has been a blogger for years. The Lord spoke to her that there was more for her to do to reach people. Her heart is to advance the Kingdom and to encourage believers to understand what it means to be a new creation.

When Dottie began to walk in the power of the Spirit, she saw great change in her life. The Spirit opened her understanding of the Bible. The Holy Spirit leads her as she writes her blogs and teaches on her podcast. Dottie encourages us to “stay in our lane.” Don’t try to do it all! Do one social media platform or one ministry at a time. Once you feel confident in that, then you can add another as God leads.

We are never too young and never too old to serve God. Always have room in your life to help others in their faith and serve God no matter what your age. Run the race and throw off everything that hinders you so you can serve God and bring Him glory. Let our life align with the Word of God and hold on to Jesus. This will enable you to serve Him no matter if you are young or old. God enables us to do everything we are asked to do through His Spirit. God will bring people into your life to help you. Remind yourself that it is God who has a race for you, and He has plotted out the course. Thus, seek Him to see what path to take. And then depend on His wisdom and power to lead you. Dottie says, ‘We don’t retire, we just refire!”

#115 The Truth about Sex Trafficking

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0500

We know that sex trafficking is a growing problem around the world, but there are so many facets that we don't understand about it. Emily Karc, founder of a non-profit, Learning to Live Beloved gives us deeper insights into the roots behind women who are sex trafficked. She is also the author of Dear Mama, a devotional for the weary mama's heart.

Emily struggled with several unhealthy relationships with men, but through this, she began to explore the root of why she kept choosing harmful relationships. God healed the shame in her heart and the feelings of being unloved, not good enough, and unworthy. Through a coach, she was helped to see where her shame began, and how to accept God's forgiveness. Through soul care, inner healing, and speaking the truth to dispel the lies brought her freedom. Bondage and soul ties were broken. She was drawn to reach out to other women who live in bondage to shame. A common thread of women who have been sex trafficked is shame, rejection, and heartbreak, thus, she felt a calling to reach out to these women.

Through her ministry, she helps the women see there is hope and forgiveness. She encourages them to let go of the shame and open their hearts to the depth of God's love. Most, if not all women who are sex trafficked did not choose this. Rather, the majority of the time, they have come from a childhood of being sexually abused. They then became very vulnerable and attract more abusive men. The traffickers often give them highly addictive drugs which puts them in a cycle of dependency to give sexual favors to pay for their drugs. Others are kidnapped at an early age and forced into the sex trade. It is hard for them to get free of their captors, and some feel so much shame that they don't feel they can return to their families. Some women get caught in the sex trade through social media.
Emily's nonprofit Provides housing and counseling for the women so they can get out of this lifestyle. Another way to help reduce sex trafficking is by raising awareness in our schools and churches.

#113 Understanding Our Bodies

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Our guest, Carolina McFarland is a Health and Wellness Consultant and Coach. She has been in the field of functional medicine lifestyle for twenty years. She was in Corporate America before that. She has always been health conscious, but she used to have many health issues. The top health professionals could not help her gut disorders, brain fog, fatigue, and lethargy. But someone told her she should try getting a food sensitivity test and micronutrient testing. This revealed to her that she had a severe reaction to grain. She eliminated all the foods she was sensitive to and learned new foods to eat. Quickly, all her energy came back. She slept well. The GI symptoms and brain fog went away. This set her on a journey to train in massage therapy, and specialized training in Cranial sacral working with the nervous system. She felt the Lord calling her to know Him in the deepest way by pursuing knowing more about the body. She became a consultant and coach.

All health begins in the gut. If you can’t break down your food properly, then it will lead to inflammation throughout your body. If we are eating foods that trigger our immune system, then this will even influence our brain and interfere with us making choices, and handling the circumstances in our lives. Microbiomes become imbalanced if we eat unhealthily and this affects our whole body. What we eat has a direct influence on our courage and how we make decisions.

Brain and gut are intrinsically linked. Long-term antibiotics create an overabundance of yeast (candida) in our digestion which relates to GI symptoms. We are all unique. So we should get individual help to see how we should eat to have a healthy body, rather than go on the recent most popular diet.

Our body is mostly water (80%), including the brain, so we need a lot of hydration so all the systems work properly. Sugar has many forms. We all metabolize sugar at different rates. Sugar alters our brain chemistry. If our glucose level spikes we can get brain fog.

Know your body type. For example, not everyone has a body that will do well as a vegan. Many bodies need red meat. Other people do well on a vegetarian diet. Digestion starts in the mind, then the mouth.

There are three primary things that help us to be healthy:

1. Self-awareness – Know our bodies
2. Self-regulation – What can we do to bring ourselves back into balance?
3. Self-agency – Decisions we make about our health that will put us in alignment with God’s Spirit.

#112 Leaders and Losses

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Carrie Pierce is an author, ghostwriter, publisher, and has been in the Radio and Television industry for 20-plus years. She is co-director of Morgan-Pierce Media and Publishing Company. In her 60’s, she ventured to start this company. Hers is a story of thriving after a major life change.

She was controlled by childhood trauma throughout much of her adult life. She cared for her parents for twenty years. Her plan after her dad died was to move to a new city with her mom. She wanted to start a new life while starting a publishing company, but the Lord told her to put it on hold. Soon after her mom was diagnosed with cancer and died. It’s been a year and a half of grief but this has moved her to total dependence on God. The Lord has been showing up powerfully. She and her friend have begun her publishing company, despite several setbacks.

When we have any kind of exodus in our lives we have to die to our old self, our past, our past belief systems. In deep grief, you can lose perspective and just ruminate on your losses. In midlife and beyond, we are called to review our lives, our faith, choices we have made, and to be real. Get your ego out of the way. Be willing to look at our traumas and make peace with things. We need to work through our past traumas so we can let go of control and let God be in control. Choose to live out our faith passionately. Live out God’s dreams rather than our own dreams. Midlife is a tremendous time of power where we can be our true selves rather than what everyone else wants us to be.

God knows our future, so follow Him. God will bless us if we surrender to His love, His power, and His will. His way is the best way! God calls us to step into challenges no matter what our age.

#111 Leaders Need Rest Too

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Do you feel too busy to rest? DeLonda Adams, Podcaster of Girl Rest shares with us the importance of getting rest and how to find it in the midst of our busy lives. She points out that "Not all self-care is soul care, but all soul-care is self-care." She leads "Rest Retreats," has a podcast, and coaches women on how to find rest. She discovered that the more she experienced His grace, the more she felt rested. As a leader, we are passionate about helping others, but we often get exhausted doing it.

DeLonda says that pride and unbelief are the main reasons we do not experience rest. Too often we depend on our own energy, wisdom, and goals, rather than God's source and plans. If we trust Him, He will make a way for us to accomplish all He has called us to do. When we take a rest, we can hear God and get perspective. Trust in God that we can take a day from our work (a Sabbath) and still accomplish all that God has for us.

Often we are busy for ourselves, not for God. We often believe the lies that if we are not busy then we are not obeying God or we are not important. When we base our identity on what we do, we will not take time to rest. We need to check our hearts to see what is the root of our ambitions: to please God, to please others, or to get value from what we do. Are our ambitions selfish?

If we are so busy that we do not have time for each other or for God, then we should evaluate if we are really doing too much. We need time to have soul-rest with God. We also need healing so we are not striving or operating out of wounds. DeLonda asks us if "we are busy because we are following the Lord, or following the values of the world?

The Sabbath is a day when we can rest our souls. Bring God into it. Do not leave God out of your day of rest. If we leave Him out, we will still feel depleted. Come to Him and take His yoke which is light. During spiritual rest times, we can think through the challenges of our lives and He will give us perspective and help to process them. True soul rest is going deeper with God.

#110 Leaders Suffer Too

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Terri Prahl shares with us her deepest tragedy of losing her baby from the womb. Through her painful journey of healing, her compassion and knowledge about grief grew. God used His Word to bring deal healing to her heart. Now she uses her gift of writing through her books and blogs to help many who are hurting from their own losses. She provides wise counsel that can bring the brokenhearted to a place of peace, comfort, and eventually joy.

Terri shares that when we seek God, we will find joy. She encourages us to be honest with God and then little by little, we will be able to look to the Word to find deep healing. God gives us perspective, truth, and comfort through the Bible, especially the Psalms. Terri admits that as a leader, we can feel extra challenged to be a good example to others, but it is okay to share our brokenness. We can share how we are seeking God in the midst of the pain. Though Terri says to be honest with others, but she also warns us to be discerning in what we share.

#109 Becoming Our Best Self

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Public Health Professional and Life and Mindset Coach, Kate Glendon helps women discover the best version of themselves. Too often, we settle just because we are comfortable. However, we grow by facing our fears and moving out of our comfort zone. A new mindset can turn our struggles into success. Kate helps us to see why we struggle with our confidence. Perhaps we do not feel good enough and so we are not living out our God-given purpose. We may be stuck in a cycle of comparison with others.

We have past failures and struggles that can lead us to fear and self-defeating behavior patterns. We need a new mindset or else we will continue to live in a negative mindset and be held back from becoming women of influence. Realize that we all have great value and wonderful things to bring to others. We can all have a positive influence on the world.

What are the things that you are good at? What are the things that you enjoy? Admire the talents that you have and then set some goals to develop those talents. Develop a vision statement and a roadmap for yourself. Write out the roadblocks that keep you from being your best self, then make goals and steps to become your best self. Celebrate your victories and successes. Embrace and develop your own uniqueness and authenticity.

#108 Success as a Leader

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

After coaching over three thousand people, Bobbi Kahler has learned several principles that leaders can follow to be more successful. She is a writer, podcaster, entrepreneur, and coach. She has a Masters in Organizational Development and Change. She dives into six important principles to have success as a leader:
1. First and foremost, we need to know ourselves. This includes knowing your authentic self, understanding your own values, discerning how you make choices, and being aware of how you show up to others.
2. A leader needs to help others to know themselves, others on the team, and you as their leader.
3. Leaders need to be visionaries. Bobbi helps us explore how one can be a visionary that leads others to respond in positive ways.
4. Leaders need to live for the long haul, not the short haul. This involves; knowing the vision and staying connected to it, practicing self-care, having margins and strong boundaries, and practicing disciplines that bring you personal peace.
5. The effective leader understands her purpose in all she is doing.
6. Our host, Sue Corl adds the importance of having pure motivations.

Do you see yourself as a leader? How about an influencer? Honestly, we are all influencers. We all have an impact on those around us.

#100 From Victim to Victor

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Most of us have moments in our lives that result in shame. The Lord wants to set us free and help us to see ourselves through His eyes. Natalie McKinnie’s testimony of healing helps us to see the power of God’s love and His Word to lift us from the burden of shame. She was a victim of an armed robbery and an attempt at sexual assault. During the assault, the Lord guided her on what to do and what not to do so she was spared of greater harm. However, following this traumatic event, she experienced PTSD, shame, and mental torment.

As she daily journaled her emotions and thoughts, the Lord began to speak to her in powerful ways. He brought her into a very deep experience of His love. One day, He led her to a Scripture that instructed her that she would receive a crown of glory for her ministry to other women. At this time, she knew she was called to help other women who have been sexually assaulted. She began the Breaking Chains ministry which offers women a safe, confidential space to share their painful stories. She also wrote a book about her story: A New Crown of Glory; Finding Purpose in the Midst of Tragedy. Natalie’s testimony shows us how God can turn tragedy into a ministry of hope and healing for ourselves and others.

Codependency or Health

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Our relationships are a precious gift from God that can sadly be misused and abused if we are not careful to center them on Christ. Codependency is an imbalance in relationships that results in pain and dysfunction, where a person in our life might shift from a good thing to a god thing. Johnny Sanders is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and Texas and owns the Christian Counseling practice, Truth & Grace Counseling. Johnny is also a host of the podcast 'Faithfully Engaged.' He is here to shed some wisdom and encouragement on this topic.

Join he and Sue in today's conversation as they explore some practical ways to respond to codependency, and the climate in our lives that might have fostered this type of relationship to begin with. Jesus is the restorer of all things, there are healthy relations on the other side of a dive into the depths of this very real issue.

Danielle Bernock is a multiple childhood trauma survivor whose past pain was transformed into present purpose. She is an international, award-winning author, dynamic speaker, host of Victorious Souls Podcast, trauma-informed faith-based self-love coach, and founder of 4F Media. Though beginning her walk with Jesus as a child, trauma made a mess of things in her world. Engulfed in pain, and without support, her life spiraled out of control. But God understood her pain, pursued her with His love, and bringing her back to Himself, He healed her heart. Danielle understands the effects of trauma on a heart, mind, and body, and is here to encourage us - God's not done with you.

The Lord has commissioned Danielle to share the love she's come to know, and empower others to embrace their God-given greatness. She is “that lady on the internet who loves you," and reminds us that we aren't humans who needs to be fixed, but rather humans that need to be loved into wholeness.

Radical Radiance

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Radical and Radiant - such are the characteristics of our Jesus, as well as us: the blessed receivers of His nature by the indwelling Holy Spirit! Psalm 34:5 says, "Those who look to Him are radiant, their faces are never covered with shame." Living a life where the Light of the World is radiantly beaming through us is most desirable, yet sadly a lackluster life might sound more like it. Why is that? Must it always be this way?

Today's guest, Rebecca George, knows that Jesus calls us out of shame and into freedom, a life of specific purpose. Her heart aligns with Jesus in His declaration, "I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly"! Rebecca is an author, speaker, pastor's wife, and host of a popular podcast, Radical Radiance. She is passionate about putting Jesus on front display in her life by radiating His heart in everything she does. Her greatest joy is helping women to do the same, and pursue their passions in a way that builds God’s kingdom.

Summertime Blitz Series: Breaking Food Addictions

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

When was the last time you ate? If you’re not thinking about food this second, give yourself an hour or so. What a constant need we have for nutrition - are you triumphing in this area of your life? Maybe there’s a desire for a healthier diet but you’ve already tried it all, nothing seems to work; I want to work on that but it’s BBQ season, perhaps I’ll start next week…

When we start looking at food as fuel and not comfort, it changes things. Kim Calhoun had a history of malnutrition and obesity that led her to Jesus feet where her weakness was met with His strength. Through the powerful work of the Holy Spirit bringing self-control, knowledge, and transformation, Kim dropped 130 pounds and became an inspiration. She knows that permanent weight loss can be achieved and longs to bring this encouragement and see change and restoration in struggling lives.

Kim has launched a ministry called “Hunger Know More,” where she serves as a full-time Keto Health Coach. Find her on social media and check out her website and freebie, linked below.

Summertime Blitz Series: Does God Care About Our Clothes?

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Garments of splendor, robes of righteousness, armor of God - what marvelous clothing that the Lord uses to adorn our innermost being! It is no question that God cares and tends to the clothing of our hearts. How does this influence the way that we dress our outer being?

Melody Hatcher joins us today to explore this rather taboo subject. Melody is passionate about helping women turn from dressing out of fear, shame, and self-loathing to dressing for love of God, self, and neighbor. After suffering a life-altering health crisis, she is dedicated to curating a wardrobe and a life of intentionality, one outfit and day at a time.

Should I Trust Jesus Again?

Thu, 04 May 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Today we are so excited to hang out again with our brother in Christ, Paul Granger. And we have a big question to address: Why are a vast number of young adults who've grown up in the church now walking away from the faith? What happened? How did we get here?
Suffering, especially what seems like senseless suffering, unanswered prayers, other doctrines claiming truth, and misuse or miscomprehension of Scripture are serious obstacles that can leave us feeling tremendous pain and/or great confusion. Dissociating the pain from Jesus, Paul says, is a process. It takes time for truth to be unpacked, wounds to heal, trust to be rebuilt, and fears to die. The invitation back to trusting in Jesus rests securely in front of any uncertain heart.
Should I trust Jesus again? Should I keep trusting Jesus? Don't wrestle with these questions alone, we encourage you to listen in.

Victory in Everyday Battle

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Destined for the Kingdom of Heaven as a follower of Jesus, we maneuver through this world in position of victory and celebration. Right? What a triumphant walk it would be if every step weren't met with an enemy attempting to derail us and trick us into putting on garments of defeat. Every forward movement comes with warfare to cling to the eternal promises and maintain the attitude of victory that is ours in Christ. This inheritance is ours now and we have a choice that we need to be ready to make moment by moment.
Amy Elaine Martinez reminds us of the discrepancy between proclaiming a victorious life in Christ and actually standing in one. Triumphing over sin, defeat, and discouragement is the plan God has for us. He wants it to be as common for His kids as folding the laundry and watering the houseplants. Amy and Sue explore how we can arrange our lives in such a way that this might be true for us. Amy is a writer and speaker who testifies to a restored wholeness in Christ, and wants to come alongside other sisters to walk triumphantly with them as well!

Today we have the honor of going deep into the life of a sister, Angie Baughman, as she vulnerably shares about her walk with the Lord. Angie has a shepherd's heart and has been called into ministry to be a Bible teacher, pastor, writer and podcaster. Angie carried a load of shame for many years after a history of abuse and trauma in high school. Convinced that she couldn't be right or pure before God or others, she placed her identity in her performance. But our gracious God had a better plan for her life. Tune in to discover more and relish in our God's goodness, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of her testimony!

Single & Content

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In the moment, you might be quick to say, "there's nothing wrong with being single." However, if you pay attention, you might discover that your heart is making other conclusions. You might hear subtle lies like, "being single is less than," "fulfilment comes with a spouse and kids," or "God is withholding from me/them."
Jessica Hagen has had a deep longing for marriage and family all her life, but embraced the challenge to find purpose and joy in her singleness. Searching the Scriptures for truth about contentment in Christ, Jessica found it and now strives to help other women find joy and hope in their singleness as well.
Whether you're single, in a relationship or married, Jesus is the only one who can truly be your other half and make you whole. Join us - and share this episode with a friend who could use some encouragement!

Authentic Friendships

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Having authentic friendships in our lives is a real treasure, and like all treasures, we ought to take special care of them. The world sends us a subtle message that friendships should be about self - "That friendship isn't serving you anymore, I'd consider cutting them off." Sound familiar?
Jesus has a different, better plan for his followers.
Today we welcome our guest, Kimber Gilbert. Kimber plays many roles in her life: mom, wife, writer, podcaster; but we are pressing in and seeking her counsel on her role as friend. Kimber looks to the One who has perfectly related to others as her model, and gives us wonderful, practical advice on how to navigate and build healthy friendships in our lives.

Join us today as we continue the conversation on the simple, yet challenging topic of forgiveness. Julie Sellers reminds us that in Christ, our offering of forgiveness should always be always. Julie is a woman of faith who said yes to God as He led her on an intimate journey with Himself to be the caretaker for her formerly verbally cruel, physically absent, and emotionally manipulative earthly father.
Through this experience, Julie has learned the treasure in the act of forgiveness and has much wisdom to bestow.

Beautiful Parent

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Go and make disciples of all nations…
It’s easy to hear that verse and think missions, anyone from next door to half way around the world. But what about the children you’re raising up, carrying in your womb, or are hoping for someday?

How do we disciple our kids to grow up to be God fearing lovers of Jesus Christ? Sue reminds us of God’s promise to us to display His splendor in us and through us in the various roles we play in this life. Today, she invites us to consider our parenting role and what kind of relationship with God we are modeling to our kids. As we recognize and are set free from bondage in our own life, we will be able to model a walk with God that is desirable for them as well.

Love is...

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

After 14 months of intentionally seeking to understand love as defined in the well-known passage of 1 Corinthians 13, Kim Serrolle joins us today to bask in the beauty and wonder of genuine love. Kim gently reminds us of what love looks like, what it doesn't, and most importantly, who Love is!

Kim has received the perfect love of Jesus, which has since compelled her to become an author, speaker and world changer. She has found that love is exactly what this world is desperate for, and is living in pursuit of loving others in accordance with 1 Corinthians 13. At the end of the day, this is exactly why the children of God are here!

With the encouragement of this sister, we invite you to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit today to live out your calling to lead those around you in love.

Freedom from Shame

Does shame cripple you to the extent where the smallest act of generosity leaves you feeling immensely indebted to another person? The power of shame can undoubtedly drive us into situations of abuse and victimization. Jesus has scorned the shame and dresses us in His righteousness. Glory to Him forever!

Today, Amy Nordhues, a survivor of both childhood sexual abuse and sexual abuse as an adult at the hands of a mental health professional, joins His Heartbeat with incredible vulnerability. Perhaps you have a story like Amy and are searching to understand where God was, what His thoughts are, or how He can bring healing and redemption today.

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Take a moment to collect the initial thoughts that come to mind when you hear this question: who are you? What comes to mind? Perhaps it's a job, a role, a characteristic, or a title awarded from a past accomplishment. When our identities are wrapped up in temporal things, it's easy to find ourselves ensnared in comparison with those fitting that same category around us. This becomes a breeding ground for the unwelcomed yet very popular belief, "I'm not good enough for that, no way!"

Coming to God's throne room and putting on the identity which He bestows on us is where this insecurity finds its grave. Today, we welcome ReGina Smithwick to His Heartbeat; ReGina has been delivered from a lie she carried since childhood that held her in bondage for several decades, leading her to believe that she was never good enough. After some diligent work in seeking to learn who God is and what He says about her, ReGina has found freedom and now strives to empower others to know and walk out their worth in Christ as well.

God is God & God is Good

Thu, 29 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Trusting in God's presence and goodness is a simple enough concept, but let's not mistake that for being easy. In today's episode, Sue engages with a brother in Christ, Paul Granger, to spur us on as we seek to trust God when our human understanding is leading us astray.

When asked who he is, Paul likes to say "a child of God and ambassador of Christ," because he's learned that these elements of his identity supersede and shape the rest. One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through creating space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen. He has spent the last two decades serving with various ministries, and now serves full time alongside YWAM. He is a well of wisdom; get your journals ready and come hungry for this spiritual feeding!

Today we welcome our guest, Tess Scott, to the conversation. Tess has been a busy mom of 8 boys and has recently published a book illuminating the hope that's to be found among the craziness. Qualified? We'd say so!
After a life seasoned with difficult challenges, Tess reminds us we must look back as we move forward. It's essential to "build altars" in remembrance of all the Lord has done in our life.
Through the hardship, God has produced a compassionate, faithful servant out of Tess. Check out her book linked below! It might be exactly the gift you've been searching for this Christmas season.

Discernment

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

To listen is to give one's attention to a sound. To discern is to go a step farther and distinguish between those sounds. Do you ever wrestle with uncertainty about whether something you're hearing is from God or not? In Christ, we are sheep who hear our Shepherd's voice, but rulers of darkness are devoted in their pursuit to speak to us as well. And not only to speak, but lie. So what do we do? Tyla Kozub doesn't hesitate with her answer: pray! She gives us the needed reminder that the Holy Spirit wants us to know the truth and that He will always lead us back to Jesus.

Tyla is a returning guest, part of the Crown of Beauty International community, Bible teacher, missionary, coach, counselor and pastor's wife. Sue and Tyla have great encouragement for us today on how to respond to the spiritual realm with discernment.

Thanksgiving

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Happy Thanksgiving friends! We are so grateful for you, your life and your participation in our Crown of Beauty community!
Have you ever noticed that the expression "count your blessings" has been a pearl of wisdom passed down through generations of families with or without faith? Why is that? Research has shown that when we express gratitude, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our 'feel-good' emotions. Not only that, they also help to regulate the stress hormones to combat bad feelings of anxiety and fear. The result is an enhancement in our mood immediately. Immediately?! Wow, put down the Amazon Prime order, peace can be expedited into your hearts right here, right now!
Giving thanks to God is a powerful instrument, gift, weapon, and step of obedience that we are to use daily, in any and every circumstance. Join the conversation with Sue and one of her dearest friends, Maureen Carrott. Maureen is a Biblical counselor and has played a major role in the formation of this ministry!

Listening to God's Voice

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Did you know that God can speak to us clearly to give us direction or encouragement? Listen to today's conversation between Sue and Jacqui Wilson to learn more about hearing God's voice. Jacqui is an action-oriented author, speaker, podcaster, leader, coach, and entrepreneur who shares personal experiences and leaps of faith. God called her from a professional position to start Christian Children's Empowerment (CCE). In doing mission work through CCE, she saw the need for an online school. The concept of Empowerment University for Children was born. Then, she had friends who were seeking to connect with Christian authors, and the Christian Writing & Speaking (CWS) podcast was born.
God speaks to us first and foremost through the Word of God. His Spirit can speak meaningful messages to our minds when we need help. When God speaks to us, He is patient if we need more confirmation. Daily time in the Word helps us to be able to hear God's voice more clearly. When we step out and obey, our faith is strengthened. If the voice you hear is confusing or not consistent with the Bible, then you can know it is not from the Lord. Sometimes we hear a thought, a Scripture, a word or phrase, a conviction, a directive, or a picture.
If He asks us to do something and we don't do it, we may not hear Him again until we obey. Timing is also key. After we hear from God to do something, then we need to pray about the timing. We can seek in groups with other believers to hear direction from the Lord. The more we practice listening and obeying, the more He will speak His will to us. It will require faith to step out and trust His voice.

Using Your Imagination in Your Walk with God

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Our special guest, Kristin Chadwick is a Transformational Coach and Podcaster who inspires us to use the incredible imagination that God has given us to be creative as the Spirit leads us in our prayer lives. We use our imagination all the time - to worry, to think "What if...", to dream dreams, etc. But we can connect more intimately with Jesus by asking the Spirit to lead us to envision stories of the Bible and the working of God in our lives and others' lives for whom we are praying.

Take time to picture God with you and He will enter into that place. Practice using your imagination, inviting the Spirit into it and God will bring you to a more personal walk with Him. As you do this more and more, like a muscle, this imaginative skill will grow stronger. Always invite the Spirit into these times so He will protect you and lead you to where He wants you to go. Spirit-led imagination is not you making up things apart from God, but rather connecting your thoughts with God.

A wonderful way to start (and continue) is to meditate on Scripture. Take a story from the Bible and then use all your senses and imagine what it would be like for that character or for you in that situation. You can also do this through journaling, or using voice memos. After the Spirit speaks to you, write down your experience. If you are an artist, let the Spirit lead you to draw and speak to you.

Lies can prevent us from being more intimate with God. But through imagination, we can break through strongholds. This frees us from performance for acceptance, doing but not being with God, and not seeing ourselves as God sees us. "Imagination is the backdoor of inner healing" (Kristin Chadwick).

Worry & Anxiety

Claire McGarry was blessed with a special GIFT one day and now wants to graciously share with you! God revealed to her a very unique and powerful process of coming with burdens and ultimately walking away in freedom. By His grace, we can learn to Gauge our emotions, Invite our emotions to the surface, Filter our emotions through God's Word, and be Transformed. GIFT! Who doesn't love a good acronym? Tune in - and consider asking God who could benefit from hearing this episode as well!

Claire is a guest from New England; she is a former missionary, author, blogger and founder of MOSIAC of Faith, and she is with us today to tackle this question: I have struggled most of my life with worry. At times, it's more than worry and I feel a lot of anxiety. Different things seem to trigger this. I try to quote scripture, pray about everything, get others to pray for me, but still I struggle. It's worse at night. Do you have any suggestions of how I can worry less and have less anxiety?

Unexpected Illness

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Is knowledge of Christ being Healer something you celebrate, or is it perhaps something you grieve over as you wait on His tender care in your own life? Rachel McCants was on her path, doing things her way until the Lord intervened with an unexpected illness that turned out to be exactly what she needed. A brain tumor is God's grace? Rachel's answer is an astounding yes & amen! She is an author, speaker, and founder of R. Lindsay Unlimited. Join the conversation today and please leave a comment! We'd love to hear if this podcast has inspired or encouraged you.

"I have been struggling with physical issues for years. I have prayed for healing. Others have prayed for my healing. I have taken every step doctors have told me to take, but still I continue to suffer. I'm really struggling in my faith. Is God listening? Does He care? Does prayer matter? Why does He not intervene when His children are suffering? Sometimes I have to fight not thinking God does not even exist. Please help me.

Sue and her sweet friend & Crown of Beauty Core Team Member, Rebecca Emory, take us into a deeper understanding of what it means to worship God, and also how! Spoiler: to know God is to worship Him!

"I want to grow closer to God. I understand that I should read the Bible and pray, but I'm not sure of the role worship should have in my life. Can you help me?"

Loving Your Prodigal

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Is there a prodigal son in your life? We long for that happy ending when the son comes to his senses and is met with a celebration! But what about in the waiting? Join us today with our guest, Judy Douglass, who brings encouragement and helpful insight into this great hardship.

Judy is the founder and host of Prayer for Prodigals, an online community for those who love someone who is making destructive choices. She has served as editor of two Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) magazines, has authored six books, and speaks all over the world. A writer, speaker, encourager, and advocate, Judy loves to encourage God’s children to be and do all that He created them for.

"My daughter and I are very close, we used to spend a lot of time together talking about Jesus, praying and singing worship songs, and even went on a mission trip together. But in college, she totally gave up her faith and now she's living a very wordly lifestyle. Though we are still close, and I try to be there for her, sometimes alone at night, I find deep anger rising up in me. I can't seem to get rid of it. Waves of disappointment and sadness sometimes wash over me. How do I get rid of these feelings and have greater peace about the journey God has for her?"

Generous Giving

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Today we welcome our guest, Julie Wilson! Julie is President of Women Doing Well, a ministry devoted to inspiring a life of living and giving. Julie is an organizational leader and communication specialist with a passion to share the biblical perspective on generosity. She reminds us that God was not scarce in His giving us His Son, but gave Himself to us fully!

Take a second to consider what kind of relationship you have with money. Then join Sue and Julie as they challenge and encourage us to be good stewards of God's financial provision in our lives. Tell us what you think! We'd love to hear what God is impressing on your hearts through this rather taboo subject.

"The church seems quite eager to talk about various sins. Yet the problem of greed and love of money that Jesus addresses almost never gets addressed. And I find this is a loaded, confusing and huge area of my life. I live in a big house, I plan to get a new kitchen, I try to save for retirement, and I like to plan vacations. It's not only normal in America, but in American churches, but am I way off base? Simplicity seems to be the principle espoused by wisdom teachers and how Jesus lived, but my financial life feels anything but simple. Where do I even start?"

Unhurried Heart

Got a lot on your to-do list today? You are not alone! There's good news: maintaining a healthy balance in all of our responsibilities and relationships is within reach. Today we welcome our guest, Megan Evans, who encourages us to unhurry our hearts and helps us understand how to be still before our Sovereign God. Join her and Sue as they reflect on the invitation to slow down in a society that's demanding we speed up.

"Life is so busy all the time. This seems to be the American-Christian way. I know I am to sit still and know that He is God, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like and still be able to care for my family, work, church responsibilities, friendships and myself. My days are often filled with anxiety to get everything done. Any suggestions?

Expectations & Disappointments

Thu, 05 May 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Expectations can be very helpful in our daily lives, but can also be a source of distress when they're unmet. Do you ever find yourself, unknowingly or intentionally, establishing standards for another person, and then disappointed when that person fails to perform? Join Sue, and her conversation partner, Tyla, as they invite you to examine your heart behind expectations and disappointments.

"I guess I've always put pretty high expectations on myself, but lately I've been wondering how I've gotten to this place of expecting them from everyone else as well. I know that this isn't healthy and only leads to hurt and disappointment in me, but can also cause deep hurt and harm in my relationships with others. How can I break free of this?"

Relationships: Responding to Pushy People

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Do you ever find yourself trapped and cornered in a conversation and you don't know how to respond? With so many charged up issues in the world today, you might find yourself bombarded by strong opinions with how you ought to think, feel, believe and behave. When a conversation feels like an attack, what kind of posture should we take to continue to love that person well and keep our peace?

Sue and her conversation partner, Tamara, tackle this question, "How do I respond when someone keeps bringing up politics when I ask them specifically not to? This particular person feels like they need to educate me. I find this condescending but this person thinks that it is their responsibility to show people the truth. It is very hard not to respond in anger and this is someone in the family so it's not like I can just cut the relationship."

Guest: Parenting Fear and Burnout with Trisha Campbell

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome to this week's episode with Trisha Campbell. Trisha is a mother, author, and advocate. After questioning her faith and volunteering in a third-world country, Trisha realized her true calling and God’s purpose for her life. After having three biological children, she and her husband added five more children to their family through foster care and transracial adoptions. Though a blended family with several special needs children didn’t come without challenges, God helped them through every difficulty as they responded in loving obedience to His clear calling.

Sue and Trisha discuss issues of parenting fear and burnout as they answer this question from our listener. "I'm a homeschool Mom. I've been teaching my four kids for years. But to be honest, I feel a bit burned out. My greatest struggle though is that I fear I'm not doing a good job and maybe I am ruining my kids. Do you have any suggestions for how I can deal with my fears and burnout?"

Discipleship: Money Matters

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Is it okay for Christians to be rich? Or is it a sign of lack of faith if we don't prosper? We get conflicting and confusing messages about money as believers. Our listener sent in a question echoing our sentiment - "I am trying to have a godly view when it comes to money. But I feel a bit confused. Is it wrong to have an income that allows me and my family to have a nice home, to travel some, to have some hobbies that cost money? How should I view money differently than a non Christian?"Join Sue and her conversation partner, Tamara as they discuss this very relevant and often sensitive topic.

I want to share my testimony and Christ's love for her in an organic way, but I don't want to scare her off."

Personal: The Perfectionist's Struggle

There's a deep pull we're all familiar with - post the highlights, capture the perfect photo, showcase the glitz and glamour. A pull to share life events in the best possible light as if everything is perfect. But life isn't perfect. You're not perfect. None of us are.

Join Sue and her conversation partner, Nancy, this week as they discuss the fallacies of perfectionism and consider where these motives come from in response to our listener's question: "I've recently had some experiences that forced me to recognize how much I want things to look and sound perfect. It's like I'm afraid to talk about something unless it sounds like the best experience it could have possibly been. I'm starting to wonder what I think those experiences say about me and who I am if they're not 'perfect.' Do you have any helpful ways I can think through some of that at a deeper level?"

Guest: Wholeness or Pornography with Denny Kriczky PART 1

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Sexual brokenness and sins are difficult to discuss because of the deep shame and guilt they trigger. All the more reason we, Christ-followers, should tackle these prevalent and relevant struggles in our lives. We are grateful to have our guest, Denny Kriczky, tackle this question our listener sent in. "I am wrestling with how to continue to love and respect my husband, who has a pornography addiction. I found out this has been going on for a while. Though he says he loves me and it has nothing to do with me, I feel totally rejected. Lately, I am so angry and hurt that I want to give up on the marriage. Please help me understand why he can't seem to quit and how I can not give up on this marriage!"

We live in a society where we can instantaneously get things we need and want. Do we expect God to work like Amazon Prime, where we request something and expect to get an answer in a day or two? In this episode, Sue and her conversation partner, Nancy, discuss what it really means to wait on the Lord. We welcome you to contemplate both what waiting looks like and what it does not.

Guest: Reviving Marriages with Rhonda Stoppe

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We are delighted to have Rhonda Stoppe, from No Regrets Woman, talk about how to revive our marriages. With more than 30 years of experience helping women build lives of no regrets, Rhonda is the best-selling author of 7 books and appears on numerous radio programs, including Focus on the Family and Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk. Rhonda ministers alongside her husband Steve, who for 22 years has pastored First Baptist Church of Patterson, California. They live out their own “Real Life Romance,” writing books and speaking at their “No Regrets Marriage Conferences,” but their favorite ministry is their family. They have four grown children and 15 grandchildren.

Thank you to our listener, who sent in a very honest question about her struggle. "Married for a long time, happy but routine dull married life. Getting attention from outsiders (male) feels good. Feeling adulterous. How do I overcome these feelings? How do I revive my marriage?"

Personal: Uncontrolled Anger

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0500

ANGER. What evokes in you when you hear that word? Are you scared? Do you feel guilty because you often feel angry? It's such a common emotion in all of us, yet we are often unsure what to do with it. Sue and her conversation partner, Tyla, tackle this issue as they address this question from our listener- "Anger shows up a lot in our home. My husband and I get angry when our kids are disrespectful or disobedient. The kids get angry at us or one another for simple things. How can we practice Christ's love and defeat the anger it's so easy to feel?"

How do we grow in having an eternal perspective about work and what we do? Is there a particular calling I should find? Join Sue and Janice as they wrestle with this week's question: "I am a Christian seeking to walk with Jesus and obey him, but sometimes I feel such a strong pull to my career successes, money, accolades, and the education and needs to get there. At times, it makes me wonder what I really believe is my purpose here on earth and how I can grow my eternal perspective ."

Personal: Making New Year's Resolution

Do you make New Year's resolutions and stick to them? Well, many of us struggle in that area. Is it even good to make a resolution, and how do we do it in a way that's honoring to the Lord? Sue and her conversation partner, Tamara, discuss this very issue as they tackle this question - "Every year I make a New Year's resolution, but every year after a few weeks or at best a few months, I stopped working on it. I'm wondering if I should even bother to make one this year. Is it biblical to do that, and if so, how do I stick to my resolution?"

She shares from her years of experience as a coach as well as from her own story of being a teenage mom. She faced hopelessness, self-coubt, shame, fear, loneliness but overcame those emotions by exposing lies so the truth can shine through!

Join Sue and Donna's discussion in answering this week's question:
I've always been the "nice" girl - though I'm grateful for this, sometimes I find that I feel trapped in this "identity". If someone mistreats me or acts inapporpriately towards me, I often feel like I feeze and don't know how to stand up for myself. If I do, I will no longer be "nice" or "loving" I want to be delivered and able to practice loving even when it's saying "no".

Relationships: Loving Unbelieving Parents

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Do you have unbelieving family members? Or even people in your life who are hostile to your faith? In this episode, Sue and her conversation partner, Nancy, discuss the common struggle of not judging but loving our unbelieving loved ones.

"My family’s sin is driving me crazy! Im struggling not to judge though I know they are sheep without a shepherd. They (my parents and two younger sisters) are all atheist, consumed with own agenda. There was a lot of chaos and hurt growing up. My parents see Christians as hypocrites and the church as a place to take their money. They have a “I’m glad you found something that works for you” attitude. I’ve shared the gospel with them, asked forgiveness for things the Holy Spirit has convicted me of, and respectfully stopped the preaching when asked to. They see the fruit of the Spirit but just think I’ve “found myself.” It’s so hard for me to love them at this point in my life. It can sadly feel forced. I’ve grown weary of praying and am struggling with judgement as I watch their unrepentant lives. Is it terrible to ask God to send someone else? Ugh, too close to home…"

Do you struggle with being disappointed with your church culture? The church is filled with sinners like us, so how can we learn to have a healthy perspective on the church and contribute to making the bride of Christ more beautiful? Sue and her conversation partner, Tyla, explore this question from the listener.

"I know I can't choose the time and the culture I was born in, but sometimes I feel powerless over the waves of cultural emphasis on power, wealth, status, and beauty. I struggle personally but also find it discouraging that churches in my affluent community don't look all that much different in what they pursue from the world. I feel like the core of what is pursued is power and money like the world but putting some weird Jesus packaging on it. I know this is a gross generalization but any words of encouragement that can help me process this tension?"

Guest: Miriam Cobb from Empty Frames Initiative

Thu, 09 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

This week, we have a special guest—Miriam Cobb from Empty Frames Initiative. Empty Frames Initiative's mission is to empower youth as they transition out of foster care with a program to give them counseling, life skills, access to the gospel, training in interpersonal skills, and connection with the community for support. With Christmas around the corner, it's an excellent opportunity for us to reflect on how we can be hands and feet of Christ to those suffering around us.

Join Sue and Miriam's discussion in answering this week's question:
"There are so many people suffering today. I see homeless people on the streets, crime in my city with the youth is increasing every day, racial tensions are on the rise, loneliness and hopelessness is sky-rocketing from the pandemic. Stories of increased poverty, drug abuse, gun violence is constantly in the news. Not to mention all the suffering overseas of displaced people and terrorism. As a Christian and as a church, I know we are to care for the orphans, the widows, the homeless, and the poor. But I don't know what I can do to help. Sometimes I just want to bury my head in the sand like an ostrich because I feel overwhelmed. What should my response be as a Christian? And what can my church do?"

Discipleship: Prioritizing Time with God

We maybe have had seasons where we clung unto God's words in times of trouble, but how about when everything seems to be at peace and going well? Sue and Nancy discuss that very issue as they answer this question from our listener.

"I have had some really difficult seasons to navigate through in life. I have found that in the worst of those moments, was when my need for Christ, my desperation to hear from Him was the greatest. Although I wouldn't want to relive those really tough times, I miss that urgency to meet with Christ. When things are moving along without a major crisis, I find myself having to work so hard to set aside quiet time, or to prioritize my time with Jesus. Thoughts on how to 'keep the fire' alive in the calm and not just in the storm?"

AW Tozer quote Nancy alluded to:

"I venture to suggest that the one vital quality which they [biblical saints] had in common was spiritual receptivity. Something in them was open to heaven, something which urged them Godward. Without attempting anything like a profound analysis I shall say simply that they had spiritual awareness and that they went on to cultivate it until it became the biggest thing in their lives. They, different from the average person in that when they felt the inward longing they did something about it. They acquired the lifelong habit of spiritual response. They were not disobedient to the heavenly vision. As David put it neatly, 'When thou saidst, seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek."

How do I learn a better way?"

Relationships: Disappointing Male Figures

Thu, 11 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever been disappointed by male figures in your life? Do you carry residual resentments from those wounds? Sue and her conversation partner, Tyla, explore how we should deal with these negative outlooks about men because of wounds.

"I grew up in a household with no great male figures. My father was an egotistic tyrant with a temper and I had no grandfathers growing up. Most of my trauma or hurts in life come from men and I think I’ve developed a hatred of men in general. It manifests itself in hyper-criticalness of men. I’m gracious toward women and can see mistakes they make with loving eyes. The most damaging way it comes out is in parenting my son. I find myself overreacting when I see qualities I can’t stand in men - like passivity and refusal to engage in real life but to escape. How could I combat this reactive way of responding to disappointments in men?"

Do you tend to feel overwhelmed with all the different responsibilities in your life? Are you feeling burdened now with all that needs to get done? You are in the right place!

Thank you to the listener for this week's question - "How do I handle the feeling of being overburdened with responsibilities, feeling if I don't initiate it, it doesn't happen, if I don't do it, it won't get done. Related to that, I often feel fear, hesitant to step out in faith because of what bad things might happen that are out of my control, i.e. inviting someone to my home for fear they'll get Covid, even though we are vaccinated, etc."

Relationships: Feeling Judgmental

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

We all have felt judgement toward others. Sometimes we think it's justified or we feel that we have the best of intentions for the other person. But what do these feelings reveal to us? In this episode, Sue with her conversation partner, Tamara, discuss this issue from our listener - "I know I should not judge, but it is hard to know how I should respond when someone is obviously doing something wrong. For instance, someone I know spends above their means and constantly borrows money from family members to keep up their lifestyle. I have lent money in the past but have stopped realizing this was only enabling their behavior. Trying to keep this person accountable only has backfired. "

Welcome to Part 2 of the conversation between Nancy and Sue as they continue their discussion about falling in love with Jesus. They tackle lies and childhood wounds that prevent us from developing a trusting and loving relationship with Jesus.

"If I know someone adores me and there's a ton of scripture about how God delights in us - then I want to be around them, right? I discovered that God has words after words after words of saying how much He adores us." - Sue Corl

Discipleship: Falling in Love with Jesus PART 1

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Nancy and Sue explore practical ways in which we can fall in love with Jesus. The listener asks “How on earth do we fall in love with Jesus? If you have any shortcuts or formulas, please share!"

A Note from Nancy:
May we not forget that God shows us through His Word how to draw near to Him. There are many beautiful examples throughout the Scriptures, where the Biblical characters model an intimate relationship with God, set on knowing and following Him. The life of Christ gives us much to glean from and practice in our daily pursuit of nearness to God and abiding in Him. May these things spur us on to know our Bibles well and put into practice what we learn and see from God's Word.

Personal: Dealing with Parenting Regrets

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Sue and her conversation partner, Tamara, tackle this question - “My kids are all adults now. I have a mountain of regrets about what kind of mom I was and am. What kind of mom I was/am ofc is all tied to my own walk (or lack of walk) with Jesus. Do you have any counsel for how to engage with adult children after you messed up a lot, especially if kids have walked away from God?"

"It's releasing for this mom [or] any other moms that are listening right now, and [feel like], 'I just can't get out from under just blanket of guilt and ownership of everything wrong or everything that just doesn't sit well with me.' Release that child to the Lord. If you need to ask him to forgive you for things you've done wrong, do that; He gives that forgiveness FREELY." - Tamara K.

Relationships: Avoiding Conflicts

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Sue and her conversation partner, Jeremy, discuss the question from a listener who avoids conflicts. “I don’t like conflict. I try to avoid it and talk myself out of it. Unfortunately, this isn’t loving others well or myself. I tend to predict how someone will respond, based on experience and/or observation, and quite honestly, a lot of times I don’t want to deal with those responses or get hurt in the process. I do want to grow in this area, are there any ways you’d suggest I can think about this/challenge myself?"

“The wall was protecting you [initially] but the problem is it's creating a bigger problem. It’s that you can't love people and move into deeper relationships the way that God really wants for you or has in store for you [because] it's very hard to enter into intimacy with people [when] fear is a barrier. “ - Sue Corl

Personal: Battling Inadequacy

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Sue and her conversation partner, Tamara, tackle the question “What should I do when I know in my heart that I want to live a life surrendered to following Jesus, obeying His command to make disciples, dwelling in fellowship with others, living intentionally and purposefully and yet so often I find myself feeling so inadequate, fearful, self-focused and insecure. How do I grow in these places of difficult feelings/emotions, where I see such a great need for transformation in my heart? What do I do when it feels like I’m going backward and not forwards?”

“So the real question is - is Christ adequate to work through me? Lies that God is not adequate, that He can’t provide for us just as He’s promised to do will immobilize us.” - Sue Corl
