Here's How He's Growing You | Taylor Mitchell What if waiting isn’t wasted time—but the very place God is shaping you most?

In this episode of Coffee and Bible Time, we talk about what it looks like to stay faithful while trusting in God’s timing, especially when life feels unclear or delayed. Waiting is often misunderstood as inactivity, but Scripture shows us it is a season of active faith, emotional honesty, and daily obedience.

We discuss how to walk through waiting with wisdom, peace, and perspective.

In this episode, we cover:

  •  Why biblical waiting is active, not passive 
  •  How to process emotions during uncertain seasons 
  •  Taking the “next God-honoring step” 
  •  The role of wise counsel and community 
  •  Surrendering outcomes to God 
  •  Finding peace in trusting in God’s timing

Reflection questions:
1. Am I actively trusting God or am I merely enduring the waiting? 
2. What is the next obvious God honoring step that I can take today?
3. Am I seeking God through prayer? Am I seeking God through scripture?
4. Have I sought wise counsel from mature believers?
5. Am I trusting and surrendering the outcome to the Lord?

Together, they discuss:

  •  the lies suffering can make us believe about God
  • how to trust God when He feels distant or silent
  • what the bleeding woman in Luke 8 teaches us about faith and healing
  • practical ways to meet with God during difficult seasons
  • how suffering can deepen our dependence on Christ

From “green pastures” to “the valley of the shadow of death,” Psalm 23 paints a picture of a Shepherd who leads, protects, and stays near even in the hardest seasons of life.

Together, they talk about:

  •  what it means that the Lord is our Shepherd when life feels out of control 
  •  why anxiety often comes from our desire for control and certainty 
  •  how God invites us into real rest
  •  what it looks like to trust God in “valley seasons” that don’t end quickly 
  •  how Scripture redefines suffering as a place of God’s presence, not absence

What God Says About Your Worth | Ashleigh Brophy In today’s culture, appearance matters more than ever. From social media to fashion to aging, Christian women are constantly told what to look like, what to buy, and who to become. But what does Scripture actually say about beauty — and how does our identity in Christ reshape the way we see ourselves?

In this episode, Ellen talks with Ashleigh Brophy, creative director of Preserve Magazine, about:

• How to break free from cultural beauty standards
 • What identity in Christ means for everyday confidence and worth
 • How creativity, motherhood, and calling flow from a secure foundation in Christ
 • How to renew your mind about appearance and comparison
 • Why biblical beauty begins with rest in your identity in Christ, not striving

True beauty isn’t something you achieve — it’s something that flows from a heart anchored in your identity in Christ.

Am I ready? What if it doesn't work out? In this deeply personal conversation, Ellen and Taylor strip away the polished veneer of "relationship advice" to share honest truths about their own journeys through dating, breakups, and spiritual growth.

Taylor opens up about her path from singleness through dating struggles to her current engagement, including a pivotal breakup that ultimately strengthened her relationship. Ellen reflects on her pre-Christian dating experiences and how faith transformed her understanding of marriage from a "cure for loneliness" to a divine tool for spiritual formation. Together, they explore how God uses relationships to shape us into His image.

Ellen and Taylor address big questions: How do we trust God's timing when everyone else seems to be finding love? What happens when our worth becomes tied to our relationship status? How do we recognize authentic red flags versus normal human imperfections? And perhaps most importantly, how do we cultivate relationships that genuinely reflect Christ's love?

Whether you're single and wondering if God has someone for you, dating and trying to honor God in your relationship, or married and seeking to grow, this conversation offers biblical wisdom wrapped in authentic personal experience. Grab your coffee and join us for this intimate look at how faith and love intertwine on the journey toward Christ-centered relationships.

Ellen reflects on her pre-Christian dating experiences and how faith transformed her understanding of marriage from a "cure for loneliness" to a divine tool for spiritual formation. Together, they explore how God uses relationships to shape us into His image.

Ellen and Taylor address big questions: How do we trust God's timing when everyone else seems to be finding love? What happens when our worth becomes tied to our relationship status? How do we recognize authentic red flags versus normal human imperfections? And perhaps most importantly, how do we cultivate relationships that genuinely reflect Christ's love?

Whether you're single and wondering if God has someone for you, dating and trying to honor God in your relationship, or married and seeking to grow, this conversation offers biblical wisdom wrapped in authentic personal experience. Grab your coffee and join us for this intimate look at how faith and love intertwine on the journey toward Christ-centered relationships.

In this soul-refreshing conversation, Ellen is joined by her daughter Taylor Krause (Coffee and Bible Time co-creator) to explore the transformative practice of Sabbath rest—a discipline that's increasingly counter-cultural yet desperately needed.

Taylor shares her own struggles with technology addiction and the sobering reality that the average person spends ten years of their life on screens. What might happen if we reclaimed even a fraction of that time for true rest?

Ellen and Taylor address the dangers of legalism, offer practical tips for different life seasons, and ultimately point to Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11: "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Ready to experience the transformative power of true rest? Grab your coffee and listen in, then share this episode with someone who needs permission to pause in our productivity-obsessed world. Rest will require intentionality and discipline, but it's a beautiful way to build trust in God's sovereignty and to savor his presence in our lives.

Scripture can be a powerful tool against the pitfalls of digital life. Our guest, Teryn Gregson, opens up about her personal experiences with the toxic side of social media and offers unique insights into applying a "faith filter" to our interactions.

We talk about the anxiety and pressure social media can amplify as well as the profound peace found in seeking fulfillment through Christ rather than likes. By drawing a clear line between social influence and soul influence, we encourage focusing on real-life connections and spiritual growth, using social media as a supplementary tool rather than a substitute for genuine community.

Teryn shares practical advice on setting boundaries and achieving true rest, using the Bible as a compass for online behavior. With practical tips and Christian teachings, this episode equips listeners to navigate the digital landscape while staying grounded in God's word.

Join us as we engage with Karl Clauson who challenges you to confront and eradicate the sins that may be hindering your spiritual growth. Karl and I delve into society's tendency to embrace personal truth and self-acceptance, often deflecting blame onto external factors instead of directly addressing our own sinfulness. Through this conversation, we offer a path toward liberation from the chains of sin, urging listeners to bring hidden struggles into the light and break free through Christ's power.

Our discussion reveals the profound transformation that occurs when we move from self-deception to breakthrough, particularly in the context of relationships and personal failures. With Karl's guidance, we explore the courage it takes to recognize and confess sins, rather than rationalizing them away. This journey isn't just about admitting our faults but understanding the difference between surface sins and deeper spiritual disconnects. By addressing underlying issues, such as pride and laziness, we can realign ourselves with God's wisdom and experience genuine change, leading to deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

As we wrap up this episode, Karl shares powerful testimonies of transformation and the joy of his personal milestones, like becoming a grandparent. The conversation underlines the importance of shifting our approach to scripture, focusing on transformation rather than mere information. Karl's book, "Killing Sin," serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to conquer sin and live an empowered life. We invite you to embark on this transformative journey, armed with the insights and tools shared in this episode, and wish you a blessed path towards overcoming personal struggles.

Drawing from her own experiences during the isolation of the pandemic, June shares her insights on connecting with non-believing friends and the transformative journey that led her to pen her soul-stirring book.

With every word, we peel back the layers of doubt to reveal the resilience of a faith that withstands the silence, the waiting, and the uncertainty that can sometimes cloud our spiritual paths.

Wrapping up, this heartfelt episode offers more than just companionship in the wait—it extends practical lifelines for threading faith through the tapestry of everyday life. June and I talk about the profound impact of prayer and intercession, how worship can become an act of immediate faith, and the pitfalls of placing the outcome above the Almighty. The takeaways are rich and all designed to deepen your spiritual practice and sustain you through the seasons of waiting for those heart-deep interventions in the lives of the people we cherish.

Jenn Schultz, the compassionate author behind "She's Not Your Enemy," joins us to share her journey from a people-pleaser trapped in the pursuit of perfection to someone who's found her true worth through faith. Together, we navigate the treacherous undercurrents of insecurity, jealousy, and loneliness - all while learning to anchor ourselves in the truth of who we are in God's eyes.

Scripture offers us a sanctuary, a place where we can silence the noise of comparison and hear the voice of our truest ally. In our deep and vulnerable conversation, Jenn and I discuss the strength we can draw from passages like Psalm 103 and Ephesians 1, using them as a compass to guide our way back to our true identity. We also examine the Armor of God, not as a suit for battle against our peers, but as a reminder to stand firm against the real challenges of life, enveloping ourselves in compassion and understanding for those around us.

Ending on a note of hope and joy, we consider the power of faith to overcome rejection and conflict, finding fulfillment in the communities we build and the roles we play within God's Kingdom.

Wondering where grace fits into the picture and asking the question, are there blessings in the boundaries of our lives? Sara Hagerty, a writer of deep insight and experience, joins us in a profound exploration of finding peace amidst boundaries of personal trials, from infertility to the challenges of understanding God's love in times of stillness. Her candid stories serve as a testament to the surprising ways grace manifests in our lives, especially when we're grappling with the weight of feeling we have too much and yet not enough.

Sarah and I discuss the importance of honoring our limits, in everything we do from physical activities to finances to parenting. Through her story of ambition clashing with reality, we shed light on the realism in navigating life's challenges—a journey not just about reaching goals but also learning from the detours.

In the final segment, we delve into the connection between our emotions, self-awareness, and the pace at which we live our lives.  Our conversation invites listeners to slow down, listen to the signals of our limitations, and discover the power of presence in the narratives unfolding in our lives.

Join Sara and me for a conversation that will not only move you but might also reshape the way you view the quiet spaces where grace resides.

This episode, graced by the insightful Cody Andras, author of "Jesus by Her Side," invites you into a heartfelt exploration of this spiritual hunger, as we traverse the remarkable encounters of women with Jesus in the Gospels. Through my own journey of vocational twists and faith-stirred decisions, I uncover the beauty of God's personalized touch in our lives, mirroring the individual moments of faith portrayed in Scripture. Cody's transition from business to bibliology exemplifies the profound importance of laying all our paths before God, affirming His care for each unique stride we take.

Tuning in, you'll witness the poignant narrative of Mary Magdalene and her transformative encounter with the resurrected Christ—a story that encourages us to advance in faith, leaving behind the comfort of past spiritual peaks. We discuss the empowering story of Mary and Elizabeth, whose bond exemplifies the support we can find within our own communities amid life's singular trials. These stories serve as an anchor, reaffirming the unwavering truth of God's constancy, even when His presence feels distant or intangible.

Embarking on the final moments of our discussion, I invite you to explore the myriad of avenues through which we can connect with Jesus—be it through the whispers of nature, the harmony of music, or the sacred texts that chronicle humanity's intersection with God. We look at the earnestness of biblical women, like the bleeding woman's raw pursuit of healing and Mary and Martha's lessons of service and devotion, imploring you to bring the same sincerity to your own spiritual quest. Whether through Scripture reflection or prayerful solitude, Cody and I share our most cherished practices and resources, ultimately guiding you to a more profound closeness with Jesus that reaches beyond the pages of the Bible.

Through our engaging conversation, gain invaluable insights into how envy has not just shaped individual lives but also influenced societal dynamics throughout the ages.

Feel the weight of envy lift as we discuss the significance of fostering contentment and celebrate the antidote found in our relationship with God.

Wrap up this enlightening discussion with a look at how envy can distort the social landscape, sparking discourse on neo-Marxist ideologies and the quest for societal equality. Dr. Fabarez and I tackle the tough questions, such as whether the redistribution of wealth can truly quell societal discontent, and provide spiritual strategies to counteract envy, including embracing divine love and fostering gratitude. Join us for this episode, and walk away equipped with the wisdom to rise above envy and cultivate a life of love and contentment.

Evaluating the Evidence for Life's Biggest Question | Lee Strobel Embark on an enlightening quest with Lee Strobel, renowned investigative journalist, and former skeptic turned devout Christian, as he lays out a compelling case for the existence of God and the reality of Jesus's resurrection. In an era where life's biggest questions often lead to more confusion than clarity, Lee's analytical approach cuts through the noise, presenting an investigative perspective that has deeply resonated with my faith journey. Our conversation dives into the toughest challenges faced by believers, from the mystery of God's hiddenness to the ever-present reality of human suffering, all while drawing from Lee's transformative experiences and celebrated works such as "Is God Real?" and "The Case for Christ."

The intricacies of faith and doubt are unraveled, not through blind acceptance but through rigorous research and candid dialogues with prominent atheists and skeptics. As we explore the surge in spiritual curiosity among today's youth, set against a backdrop of increasing mental health struggles, Lee Strobel's insights reveal a growing trend of conversions to Christianity. His encounters with figures like Anthony Flew and Charles Templeton serve to fortify his convictions, offering listeners a testament to the power of an unwavering belief borne from critical examination and expert testimony.

The discussion extends to the profound philosophical questions surrounding God's role in human suffering, providing solace and understanding through personal stories and theological perspectives. As we consider the delicate balance God maintains in revealing himself, we equip our listeners with the intellectual and spiritual tools needed to both defend their faith and invite others into these profound truths.

You're not alone! Join me and the hilariously insightful Cynthia Yanof, author of "Life is Messy, God is Good: Sanity for the Chaos of Everyday Life," as we navigate the joyous battlefield of life with a healthy dose of humor. Get ready to laugh at our blunders, nod in agreement with our parenting foibles, and get a fresh perspective on how embracing the mess can draw us closer to an authentic Christian experience.

This episode isn’t just about chuckles though; it's also an invitation to ponder the footprints we leave in the lives of others. Through personal reflections and the heartfelt story of a friend’s anointing, we unpack how small acts of intentionality can ripple into waves of influence. Discover how answering that 'God-sized' call, like opening your heart to foster care, can reshape not just your world, but the world of those around you. It's a powerful reminder that our influence isn't measured by our audience's size but by the depth of our impact.

And let's get real about the high-wire act of parenting, shall we? We strip away the glossy filters of social media success and have a heart-to-heart on recognizing the divine beauty in our children's quirks and challenges. This conversation goes beyond the surface, as we embrace vulnerability and build a stronger community within our churches and personal lives. There's strength in showing up as we are – imperfect, but together. So tune in, grab a coffee, and join us for a conversation that promises to uplift, inspire, and perhaps even laugh.

That's the transformation Jordan Raynor, a compelling author, and dedicated father shares with us as we examine the deep connection between faith and work.

Have you ever caught yourself questioning the eternal value of your secular job? We lay that doubt to rest by dismantling the misconception that the Great Commission is the only mission for believers. Jordan illuminates how every endeavor, when performed in pursuit of God's kingdom, becomes an act of sacred service. It's a refreshing perspective that elevates our understanding of vocation, celebrating the role that every job, from the boardroom to the stockroom, plays in shaping our eternal story.

Yet, out of the depths of their sorrow, they emerged with a story that is as inspiring as it is heart-wrenching. This episode is a tribute to the strength it takes to not only carry on but to transform grief into a force for healing, as the Boyces have done through their work at the Oak Center Retreat in Southern California.

As we sit down with Justin and Stefanie, they open up about the overwhelming support they received from their community during the darkest times. Their narrative extends a delicate invitation to contemplate the unexpected kindness of friends, family, and even strangers, and how these acts of compassion can illuminate the path through adversity. Their experience with community kindness underscores a central truth: no one should have to navigate the treacherous waters of grief alone, and it is the connections we forge that often buoy us through the storm.

The conversation naturally flows into the heart of resilience, exploring how shared suffering can lead to profound bonds and a shared sense of purpose. Justin and Stefanie's candid reflections on their growth in the aftermath of tragedy, coupled with their commitment to helping others find solace, serve as a beacon for anyone grappling with their own losses. Their story, punctuated by their move to California and the founding of The Oaks Retreats, serves as an intimate guide through the complexities of mourning, faith, and ultimately, finding a way forward in a world that has been forever changed.

In our latest episode, we sit down with Chelsea Patterson Sobolik, a distinguished author and policy expert, who shares her inspiring journey from international ambitions to significant policy work in the heart of Washington DC, all through the lens of a biblical worldview. Chelsea's candid discussion about her adoption story and her advocacy for refugees and immigration broadens our perspective on the unique challenges and victories women face in balancing their profession and personal lives.

This conversation takes a deeper look at the sacred act of labor, transforming our understanding of work into an expression of divine worship. Reflecting on Martin Luther's teachings, we realize that even the most mundane tasks carry a profound purpose - serving others and acting as vessels for God's love. The reassurance from Scripture that our labor, whether praised or unsung, is seen and valued by God, offers comfort and compels us to seek His presence in our daily grind. It's a heartfelt reminder that our work can be a beautiful expression of our faith.

To wrap things up, we contemplate the forgotten art of Sabbath rest and the essential nature of finding balance. The episode draws attention to the modern obsession with being perpetually busy and how resting is not only rejuvenating but also a humbling acknowledgment of our human limits and God’s overarching control. I also share some of my treasured Bible study practices, hoping to encourage you to weave spiritual growth into the fabric of your day-to-day life. For those seeking a deeper exploration of these themes, Chelsea Patterson's book, "Called to Cultivate," comes highly recommended as a guide to discovering the joy and fulfillment found in the intersection of work and faith.

Ultimately, we let someone down or we feel like the works we are doing simply aren’t enough to measure up to the standard that we have imagined it takes to win God’s love and approval. Our guest today, Kaitlin Garrison knows the struggle of trying to please God very well and is here to remind us that we can be confident in our standing with God, not because of the good things we can do for Him, but because of the finished work of Jesus who has already done the work on our behalf.

Change comes from serving. 1 Peter 4:10 tells us, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” But sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what our gifts are or what God has called us to do. A good way to begin to understand your gifts and to know how God wants to use you is by serving others.  Our guests today, Janice Brandes and Megan Twadell are here to share more about the changes that happen when we begin to serve and what effects it can have on ourselves and others.

We are all so busy trying to fit everything we can into our day, that time management has become a big industry. There are countless books, podcasts, and other resources that tell us how to get more done in less time which can sometimes cause us even more anxiety. But what if we view the idea of efficiency through God’s perspective? Would we get the same answers to the dilemma of managing a fast-paced life with a mile-long to-do list? Our guest today, Jen Pollock Michel, author of the book, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace, is here to talk about how our primary call as Christians is not to practice habits of productivity but to practice habits of fruitfulness that lead us into faithfulness to God and others.

Try These Words and Actions that Feed Your Soul | Aaron Damiani Today we are going to be talking about “Stability in a Time of Chaos.” Our culture’s rapid pace of change leaves many of us feeling bewildered and defensive. Our guest today, Aaron Damiani, author of the book, Earth Filled with Heaven: Finding Life in Liturgy, Sacraments, and Other Ancient Practices of the Church will explore how the practices of the ancient church, such as liturgy, creeds, and the public reading of Scripture can help modern Christians rest in the stability and truth of Jesus Christ “who is the same yesterday, today and forever.” He will discuss with us how the peace of these practices gave way to courage and missional living in the early church, which faced the same level of upheaval that we have today.

Our guest today, Naomi Vacaro, creator of the Wholehearted Community and author of the book, “Quiet – Creating Grace-Based Rhythms for Spending Time with Jesus,” will be joining us today to share her approach to quiet time that will refresh your heart and soul.

Our guest today, Kristie Anyabwile, the author of the book, “Literarily,” will be talking about how the Bible can be grouped according to key categories, called genres, that help us read and properly interpret the Scriptures.

Jordan has written several books that give adults insight into the meaning of the purpose and value of work.  In fact, it was Jordan’s book called, "Master of One," that I picked up during the pandemic that has really encouraged my decision to step out of corporate America and into doing full time ministry at Coffee and Bible Time beginning April 1st.  His book taught me to imagine how different my life would be if I spent my time doing the very thing that brings me the greatest joy.

It’s so important as parents to understand that the world is changing at a rapid pace and young minds are very impressionable, so being mindful of teaching our young children early about the Christian Worldview and comparing the information they receive with the truth of Christianity is critical.  Our guest today, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder and CEO of Foundation Worldview, will be sharing with us how we can navigate being media-stressed and equipping parents to handle the pressures of this culture and be intentional about equipping our kids to understand and evaluate Biblical truth compared to today’s culture.

Well our guest today, Chelsey DeMatteis, is going to help us explore why and how we can shift our thoughts to more of Christ and less of us.  You will see that when we are saturated with God’s Word and fully see who He is, we will be in awe of God’s character and that will lead us to want to know God more, follow Him, serve Him and be a light in the world.  You will see a shift in thinking away from how we can help ourselves, to how God can transform our lives if we let Him.

It’s incredibly important for us to know, remember and live by our true identity in Christ.  In fact, there are many verses in the Bible that help us see ourselves as God sees us.  Not only are we chosen by God, but we are His children who belong to him.  We are loved by him, so much so, that nothing can separate us from His love.  We are forgiven, cleansed, and in Christ, there is no condemnation against us.  We are strengthened and equipped to do all that God has called us to do.  So much so, that He gives us his Holy Spirit, living inside each one of us, to help us.  We ultimately have peace, because we have hope in Christ and we live with His promise that he will never leave us or forsake us.

Our guest today, Trish Blackwell, the host of The Confidence Podcast and author of the book Straighten Your Crown: Rediscovering That You are Seen, You Matter, and the King Delights in You will be expanding our understanding of how to see yourself as God sees you.

Our guest today, Jennifer Wagner understands this all too well. From looking at her today, you wouldn’t know that she used to weigh 336 pounds. During her 16-year health and wellness journey, she has felt the deep anguish of torment from peers and strangers, let the scale dictate her moods, and cried herself to sleep all because of her "imperfect" body. But ultimately, Jennifer realized that to overcome the overwhelming negative feelings about her body, she needed to start with her mind and let go of all the expectations of perfection that were keeping her from being the best version of herself. 

Let’s embark on this journey with Jennifer as your guide and learn to live a life of healthy habits and positive motivation to take care of your good body.

America's #1 Mom Coach Can Help | Hannah Keeley Does Mom Fatigue Have You Down? America's #1 Mom Coach Can Help | Hannah Keeley Today we are going to be talking about “Mom Fatigue Syndrome.” It’s real. It’s pervasive. And it creeps into every facet of a mom’s life. MFS is caused by a condition known as learned helplessness-discovered in 1965 by Martin Seligman-which leads to overwhelm, depression, exhaustion, fatigue, anxiety, and feeling like you're stuck in a big, fat Mom Fog. Why do moms experience learned helplessness? Because the mom-brain is different. Researchers have even found physical differences in brain scans of women before and after they had children. But moms continually use methods and techniques that do not work with the way their brains are wired. Instead of blaming the program, moms blame themselves, which perpetuates the cycle of Mom Fatigue Syndrome. They end up with no energy, no joy, and no motivation to make things better. If you are a mom, or you know of a mom who needs help, stay tuned to learn from our guest Hannah Keeley about the Mom Mastery Method which is an 8-step formula proven to help thousands of moms radically transform their lives.

You might be surprised to hear this, but the Bible has a lot to say about our feelings. It tells us which feelings are godly and good for us, and it even gives us ideas for how to encourage those feelings to grow. The Bible also tells us which emotions we need to watch out for—which ones can hurt us if they get out of control—and gives us ideas for how we can limit or avoid them. The Bible can help us learn how to work on our feelings— to take charge of them, instead of letting them push us around.

Our guest today Elizabeth Laing Thompson shares from her books titled All the Feels and All the Feels for Teens by helping us understand that by embracing how God has designed and created us, we are freed up to have better and more full relationships with others because of our emotions, not in spite of them.
