| Discovering Your God-Given Influence with Donna Pisani | 15 Nov 2024 | 00:44:32 | |
In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position. Generations of confusion have kept women from answering God’s call to lead, depriving God’s kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry—and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.

| Beautiful Freedom with Stacy Reaoch | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:43:38 | |
Damaging and unhealthy messages about body image bombard us on a daily basis.

As a Christian, you might wonder, does God actually care how I eat? Or if I exercise? My guest today is Stacy Reaoch, author of the new book, Beautiful Freedom: How the Bible Shapes Your View of Appearance, Food and Fitness. Her fresh take on stewarding our bodies as a gift from God might change your perspective on health and wellness. Let’s lean in and listen.

| The Song of Sourwood Mountain with Ann H. Gabhart | 19 Jul 2024 | 00:36:19 | |
Jesus loved to use stories to communicate Biblical truth, and I think that’s one of the reasons I love Christian historical fiction authors so much. We can learn about God and ourselves through the stories they create. We can be transported to different times and different places, and we can see ourselves and God’s redemptive plan across time. My guest today, Ann Gabhart, is a best-selling author who has been creating memorable stories for over twenty years, and her latest book, The Song of Sourwood Mountain, takes us to the dawn of the twentieth century in Eastern Kentucky with the story of Mira. Her story reminds us all of the unexpected blessings that can come when we dare to give up control of our lives to God.

| Life is Messy, God is Good with Cynthia Yanof | 10 Jul 2024 | 00:43:45 | |
Life Is Messy, God Is Good Each day we are given the opportunity to live with meaning and significance as we acknowledge our struggles and then surrender them to Jesus. My guest today, Cynthia Yanof, knows how sloppy, slippery, and downright hard life can be. But as she reminds us, God’s not surprised when we drop the ball, lose our cool, or struggle to put our Spanx on in the morning.

| From Trauma to Wholeness with Sarah & Isabel Bowling | 31 May 2024 | 00:46:01 | |
Trauma and triggers have become buzz words in recent years and they are sometimes used to describe something that makes us uncomfortable, something that is somewhat cringe-worthy, or even something that’s just a generally negative experience. But something that is truly traumatic is something that rewires your brain and moving forward, your instincts and your outlook are altered as a result of it. Regardless of your upbringing, socio-economic status, education, family background, or religious beliefs, we have all experienced trauma. It creeps and seeps into our lives, affecting our outlook, relationships, priorities, and choices. My guests today are mother/daughter duo Sarah & Isabel Bowling, and their new book, “Road to Wholeness: Healing from Trauma,” is a unique look at the parable of the Good Samaritan through the lens of trauma. It will give you insight for healing from the trauma of your own story, as well as how to love and interact with others’ as they navigate their own journey of healing. Thankfully, Jesus can help us to transform trauma so it isn’t transferred, causing ripple effects of damage and hurt.
