| Holy Spirit Unlocked: An Intro to Holy Spirit’s Power & Authority with Jenny Randle | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:39:39 | |
The topic of the Holy Spirit is one that feels like most churches and people aren't discussing in fear of stepping on toes and upsetting people. The thing is... the Holy Spirit is our helper, He is THE PROMISED PRESENCE OF THE LORD.... whether that steps on toes or not we should be talking about Him! No matter what your stance is on the Holy Spirit, I hope we can all agree that He is a promised gift, the very presence of God who comes to live inside of us after we accept the free gift of salvation which only comes from the blood of Jesus Christ spilled for our sins. The third person of the trinity, the Holy Spirit, is how we experience God. He is within us!! Jenny Randle is an Emmy® award-winning editor who went on a journey to discover what it really means to live on purpose. From a video editor in the heart of Hollywood to becoming an ordained minister, her creative ventures have reached millions. She has cohosted a fun and top-ranked podcast, Shut the Should Up, authored Courageous Creative, Getting to Know God’s Voice, andDream Come True, and coauthored Flash Theology. Her most recent book, The Promised Presence, is a bible study through Luke and Acts focused on the Holy Spirit’s power and authority. Key Takeaways:

| From Empty Validation to Unshakable Faith: Finding Your Life in Jesus with Inah Miller | 04 Jun 2025 | 00:23:13 | |
Looking for our worth in things of this world can seem like the built in human response in life. Finding ourselves in friends, careers, relationships & finances can seem like the right thing to do, but it leaves us empty and still not knowing who we are. It can even make us question our faith in God. Wouldn't living a life of unshakable faith be a wonderful feeling? Knowing with no doubt in your mind that you belong to God and He loves you unconditionally! That knowing can be your reality, the way you live your life. That was the case for the guest on the podcast today, Inah. She is a wonderful friend of mine who started off looking in all the wrong places to find out who she was, until God met her in amazing ways and she said yes to him. Yes to his leading, yes to the calling on her life even when she had no idea where it would lead. Inah recently graduated from Huntington University completing her degree in cross-cultural studies and TESOL. She also just spent 7 months on the Arabian Peninsula teaching English and learning Arabic. She is young woman who has a heart to serve the Lord and is unashamed to share about what that looks like in every day life. It's not always easy and she shares the struggles she has had along the way, including questioning her faith while over seas on mission! Her faith is inspiring. We all need to know that it's okay to ask hard questions of God, because he has all the right answers. Key Takeaways:

| Overcoming Overwhelm: The Journey to an Untroubled Heart with Kara Stout | 28 May 2025 | 00:29:59 | |
Overwhelm feels inescapable. Having a heart that isn't weighed down with the weight and responsibilities that are on our shoulders seems impossible. That is precisely why I talked with my new friend Kara about her newly released devotional, An Untroubled Heart: Calming Anxiety and Finding God's Peace. Her heart is for us experience God in a real and intimate way that changes how we live our everyday lives. She wants us to realized the trust of Psalms 147: 3-5, seeing God as the personal yet powerful God that he is. Our Father in heaven who cares about every big or little thing that happens in our lives and longs for us to run to him for peace. And that's exactly what we talk about on today's episode. Kara is a writer, wife, and new adoptive mom living in Los Angeles, California. Kara writes prayers and devotionals on her social media and has also written devotionals for Her True Worth, a women’s online ministry. Kara has her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Arizona State University and her master’s degree in counseling from Loyola University Chicago. After walking through a personal medical crisis and the loss of both of her parents to cancer, her life radically changed, and her complete dependency on God for strength and peace became a non-negotiable. Her hope is to encourage women in their faith, pointing them to their Great Comforter and Greatest Companion. Key Takeaways:

| Faith Amidst Trials: Discovering God's Goodness with Ashton Draper | 14 May 2025 | 00:31:30 | |
As humans we live in a fallen world, which means we will face hardship, trials, disease, illness.... you name it. When we are walking that path it can be difficult to keep our eyes focused on Jesus. Seeing God's goodness and keeping our Fatih can feel impossible when one thing after another seems to be coming at us. I've experienced it and can testify to that! But like my guest today, I can also testify to God's goodness even in the midst of those trials and difficulties. Ashton Draper is a wife and mother to four children in Northeast Indiana. She has a bachelor’s degree in American Sign Language interpreting from Troy University. She currently homeschools her children while taking care of the home and picking up occasional interpreting assignments. She loves the show Friends and playing games with family on the weekends. She is passionate about being vulnerable with her story in order to encourage other believers in their own stories. She wrote a book called, Big Yellow House: God’s Goodness Revealed: Growing Through Hardship in Marriage and Health while on the Path to Adoption. Key Takeaways:

Beauty can come from the brokenness in our lives. Beauty from ashes, we hear in scripture. Today we are going to talk about God's extravagant grace for us and how we can find that in scripture. I can’t wait for you to hear this week’s episode! I had the joy of sitting down with Kara Diehl, the heart behind Gracelets—a faith-based jewelry company with a mission that goes so much deeper than pretty accessories. Kara’s story is powerful. For years, she struggled to believe that God truly loved her. But out of that pain, God birthed something beautiful: Gracelets. Each one is intentionally designed to help women share the truth of God’s Word—with themselves and with others. We talk about how God took Kara’s past hurts and used them to bring healing, not only to her, but to women around the world through these sweet little gracelets that carry big messages of hope. Wearable scripture that can remind us of God's promises! This episode is for the woman who needs reminded that her story isn’t over. That God’s love is real. And that He can use anything for His glory. If you’ve ever doubted His love or struggled to share your faith, Kara’s story will meet you right where you are. Key Takeaways:

| Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Embracing Your True Potential with Mary Marantz | 23 Apr 2025 | 00:37:22 | |
Have you ever felt underestimated before? When I stop to really think about that I can say, definitely yes I have... but it's mainly MYSELF that this type of judgement is coming. The saying "I'm my own worst critic" is a true statement in my life, maybe it has been in your own too. Whether it's others who are underestimating us or ourselves, it can do a number on our self-esteem and understanding our worth. My wonderful friend Mary Marantz is releasing a book NEXT WEEK on this very topic! She has personal experience with being underestimated just like us, only she is on the other side of some of these struggles and is offering us all of the strategies to overcome them! Mary is the girl who grew up in a single wide trailer in rural West Virginia, before making her way all the way to the hallowed halls of Yale Law School... only to end up still not feeling like enough. Like she wrote in her first book, Dirt, "What if success is where the real trouble began? What if we get everything we ever wanted, only to find out it still doesn't change a thing about not liking this skin we have to do life in?" Mary is one of those friends who is quirky and fun but can really dig deep and make you think long and hard on subjects that will transform your life. This book, Underestimated, is no different!

| How God Hears Us: The Powerful Presence of Women in the Resurrection Story with Elisa Morgan | 16 Apr 2025 | 00:36:31 | |
Happy Holy Week! I pray that you've been able to take time this week to be in God's Word studying the significance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. When you stop and truly think about it, it brings you to a place of awe. Not only did Jesus sacrifice himself for our sins but God the Father sacrificed His only son for people he knew would still be rebellious. But he loved us so much that it was worth it. WOW! The reality of that can bring you to your knees pretty fast can't it? This week is all about Easter but looking at it in a new light. I had the blessed opportunity to talk with Elisa Morgan about the women who were at the cross and why that was so significant. Elisa was named by Christianity Today as one of the top 50 women influencing today's church and culture and is one of today's most sought-after authors, speakers and leaders. She has authored over 25 books on mothering, spiritual formation and evangelism. Elisa co-hosts the Our Daily Bread Ministries podcasts Discover the Word and God Hears Her. For twenty years, Elisa Morgan served as CEO of MOPS International and now serves as President Emerita. She has studied women in scripture more times than I can count, so I asked her to come and share with us about the topic! Her insight on this was priceless and I'm so excited to share this conversation with you. Jesus was revolutionary for women. He rewrote the narrative for their worth in the culture and helped people realize how important women are to God. Not elevating them above men but making it known that they are just as precious to him as anyone else. Jesus came to raise up the lowly against what society taught. Key Takeaways!

| Navigating Seasons of Waiting: Learning to Trust God's Timing with Rebecca George | 09 Apr 2025 | 00:34:42 | |
What do we do when it seems like we are falling behind, whether in life, in career or in our relationship with God?

What do we do when we feel like nothing is enough? That's exactly why I have my good friend Rebecca George joining me this week on the podcast! Her newest book, You're Not Too Late, covers all of that and so much more! Living from a place of contentment with the Lord can feel like some far off dream, but it can be our reality!

| Beyond Survival: Exploring Emotional Health and Faith with Will Acuff | 02 Apr 2025 | 00:37:23 | |
It takes time, persistence and dedication to go deeper with God.. it calls to something beyond survival! I'm so excited to introduce you to a new friend of mine, Will Acuff. Will is a pastor’s kid with a master’s in biblical studies, co-founded Corner to Corner, a nonprofit organization that promotes economic equality by launching underestimated entrepreneurs out of historically low-income communities in Nashville. As a father and husband navigating family health challenges, Will found renewal through trauma counseling and contemplative faith, embracing paths through pain to rediscover God's love and guidance. In our conversation we dive into his book, No Elevator to Everest where we explore emotional health and how faith plays such a huge role in that. The majority of us are "fixers". We see a problem, we muscle through and find solutions and move on. But when we come to the point where our "I can fix this" mentality meets a reality we can't change in our own strength we begin to struggle mentally and emotionally. What do we do about that? We have to come to the end of ourselves, where only God can fix things. Key Takeaways:

| Finding Hope Amid Hardship: Triumph Over Trauma & Addiction with John Boyle | 26 Mar 2025 | 00:38:35 | |
Hope is something that I have been studying in scripture. Specifically the biblical meaning of hope, not the way the world tries to explain it. I dove into Psalm 25:5 which talks about hope and then God... in all of his amazing plans had me talk with John Boyle and part of his message he shares is about hope!! Of course it was because that is how God works! Biblical hope is not wishful thinking but instead is a confident expectation that God's promises will come to pass. It's knowing that no matter what God will come through and show up in ways that only he can. John Boyle was born into a multi-generational family of coal miners. He was raised in the small Appalachian town of Kingwood, West Virginia. He is a graduate of The Kiski School in Saltsburg, PA, West Virginia University School of Engineering in Morgantown, WV, and Harvard Business School in Cambridge, MA. John wrote the book, Appalachian Kid: How Hope Changed Everything to help people. His story showcases the importance of kindness and mentorship, overcoming adversity and addiction, finding faith and hope, and helping those in need. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and also a testament to the miracles God has performed in his life. For anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, trauma, abuse, or the weight of life’s hardships, this book offers a message of hope and a path to healing. Key Takeaways:

| Silencing Anxiety & Speaking Truth: The Power of Your Testimony with Drew Ryall | 19 Mar 2025 | 00:35:01 | |
“The most powerful story you can share, besides the Gospel, is the story of what God is doing personally in your life.” - Drew Ryall We are shifting gears this week from apologetics to sharing our testimony. If we are going to be bold in Christ and learn how to defend our faith in an ever changing world, then we have to be equipped with the good news of Jesus Christ in our own lives! Others are going to want to know about the hope that we have because they can see the attributes of Jesus in us. That is why I invited the lead pastor from our church to join me today. He has been sharing his testimony boldly and authentically with our church family for years but in recent months it has become even more evident. God has given him a passion to equip others to share what God is doing in their own lives. Drew has been on staff at New Life Fellowship (NLF) since 2010 and is our main teaching pastor. His passions are teaching (fittingly) and discipleship of the church family. He loves seeing others discover their gifts and how the holy spirit will lead them to use it for His kingdom. He has the ability to be vulnerable when teaching but also in conversations with others. Key Takeaways:

| Faith Under Pressure: How to Confidently Defend What You Believe with Liz Cobo | 05 Mar 2025 | 00:37:59 | |
Have you ever found yourself in a conversation about faith that you feel unequipped to be a part of? You know that you trust God but you aren't sure how to explain let alone defend your faith to someone who seems to be in opposition to you. Sound familiar? I know it does to me! There was a time in my life when I knew what I believed but I had no confidence in defending it. That is exactly why I invited my friend Liz Cobo to join me on the podcast this week! She is a Christian Apologist who is passionate about helping believers learn to gracefully defend their faith and biblical worldview with gentleness and respect. Liz hosts the unBibled podcast and is currently a student in the Master’s degree program for Christian Apologetics at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. She is a wealth of knowledge that I am so blessed to call friend! During the conversation we covered so much practical information that all Christians should be equipped with when it comes to defending your faith. Apologetics is about defending our faith, not arguing or apologizing for it. The key to apologetics is to know the Bible deeply and being prepared to share our testimony whenever God presents us with the opportunity. Giving a reason for the hope that we have in Jesus Christ as our savior may be hard to get out of our mouths at times but it doesn't have to be. Key Takeaways:

| Hope in the Darkness: Trusting God’s Presence When Life Feels Heavy with Dustin George | 18 Dec 2024 | 00:37:05 | |
I am completely blown away that this is the last episode of Season 5 of the Confidence in Christ Podcast!! God has been so faithful! We are ending season 5 and 2024 with a wonderful send off. I was able to chat with Dustin George about his new book, Before Dawn: Knowing God's Presence in the Dark Seasons of Life. I have to say... what a timely message. I feel like winter brings about a bigger chance for depression, anxiety & sadness just because of the drab weather (at least in my neck of the woods). Plus... the holidays aren't always joy filled & happy for all of us. I know this all too well. One of the biggest ah-ha's for me during this conversation was when Dustin talked about how God has never failed. That isn't anything new to me but when we are in grief we add the word 'me' to the end of that statement... God has never failed me. But when we stop and look over all of history we see that God hasn't only never failed US personally... he has never failed ever! And he never will! That alone gives us hope in the midst of the trials and hard seasons. Dustin C. George is a lead pastor, a writer, and a conference speaker. He has served for nearly two decades in various pastoral positions across all age ranges. Before entering full time church ministry, Dustin taught high school English for ten years. In his free time, Dustin can usually be found fly-fishing in the Smokies, expanding his skills as a craftsman, or enjoying his next adventure. He and his wife, Rebecca George, live in East Tennessee.

Warren, a renowned Bible teacher and former Moody Church pastor, who published more than 150 books throughout his lifetime, including the popular BE series. Years ago, an unpublished manuscript tucked away in a dusty manila folder was unearthed by the Jacobsen family. Dan spent two years preserving his grandfather’s original writings, completing the unfinished work. The result is Becoming New: A 100-Day Journey of Transformation through God’s Word , a powerful continuation of Warren’s legacy. Within these pages lies a culmination of decades of Biblical study, thoughtfully written for any Christian to embrace and deepen their love for the Lord. It’s not a typical devotional book, rather, it focuses on one theme - the daily transformation of your life and world through the truth of God given by the Holy Spirit. Each of the 100 days in Becoming New offers a distinct theme, allowing readers to explore different aspects of their spiritual lives Key Takeaways: We only understand the New Testament because of the history shared in the Old Testament Connect with Dan!

| Discovering God’s Bigger Story for Your Christmas Season with Donna Amidon | 27 Nov 2024 | 00:36:17 | |
Traditions are something that many of us hold on to tightly. Wanting to pass on some sort of meaning or fun especially during the holidays. This year I'd like to introduce you to a new tradition that will point everyone involved towards Jesus. It's more than setting up a manger scene and reading a story, it's a short daily reminder the entire month of December that will draw you closer to God in ways you never experienced before... with the Jesse Tree. My new friend Donna Amidon is the author of Tracing His Promise: Understanding the Bigger Story of Jesus and What That Means for Us. It's a beautiful blend of rich theology, relatable stories, and everyday application along with renewed hope and trust in God as you witness His faithfulness to His people. Tracing His Promise is an inspiring study of Jesus in the Old Testament. You can use the stories to teach your children/grandchildren about the promise of Christ during the Advent season. The book provides resources for families to begin a Jesse Tree tradition, including a link for a printable ornament for each day, tips on hosting an ornament exchange, and facts about how the Jesse Tree began. She is a graduate of Southern Evangelical Seminary and a dedicated teacher at Back to Bible. She’s a seasoned speaker at women’s events and conferences, bringing insights from years of leading women’s Bible studies. She has held various church roles, including pastor’s wife, worship leader, small group director, and student ministries leader. Donna and her husband make their home in Virginia with their two children. Key Takeaways:

| Is Life Falling Apart? How Desperate Prayers Draw Us Closer to God with Rachel Wojo | 20 Nov 2024 | 00:39:43 | |
Prayer has been heavy on my heart for a few months and having back to back interviews for the podcast about prayer really drove it home for me. We as God's people have to be people of prayer. It's our main line of communication to God. Us talking to Him and Him talking to us. Today's guest knows all about being angry with God and coming to him with her raw & real emotions. She has written two books that both talk about how hard and desperate life can feel, and how to go to God in the midst of it all. Rachel Wojo is an inspirational author, speaker and podcaster. Through her biblical approach and personal life experiences, Rachel empowers women to discover strength and hope in everyday situations. Despite enduring the loss of her mother, adult special needs daughter, and father, Rachel remains resilient. This conversation is jam packed with so many amazing nuggets of truth that I ran out of room on my note sheet while we were chatting! Rachel's approach to including God in her life through creative ways of connecting to him in prayer were so inspirational to hear. One of my favorite was prayer habit stacking! Key Takeaways: We set standards for what we think prayer should look like... we need to drop prayer perfectionism We get to know God’s voice stronger when we spend time with him, talking & listening Take every raw emotion straight to the feet of Jesus Prayer habit stacking, add prayer to a habit you currently have God has never broken a single promise & He won’t in your situation either

| Discovering the Depth of God’s Love Through Prayer with Rachael K. Adams | 13 Nov 2024 | 00:37:51 | |
They say that "you don't know, what you don't know". I think a lot of us don't know or aren't aware of the depth of God's love and how we have access to that love at all times. One way that we can discover the depth at which God loves us is through prayer. My dear friend Rachael Adams has a passion for helping women discover God's purpose and love for them. Author of Everyday Prayers for Love, A Little Goes a Long Way, and host of The Love Offering podcast, Rachael Adams, hopes to help women realize their God-given purpose and significance. She and her husband, Bryan, live in Kentucky with their two children, Will and Kate. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, Crosswalk, Proverbs 31, Today Parenting, and YouVersion. In this conversation we talk about how prayer makes all the difference in our walk with God but also in the way we love others. Jesus tells us in scripture that "they will know you are mine by your love". Our distinctive marker of Christians is our love for others. That's not an easy task because.... people can be hard to love! We are only human, how are we supposed to live out this kind of love in our every day lives? You'll hear all about that in the episode this week. What's even better is that you can read more and walk through an entire month of going deeper on this topic through Rachael's newest devotional (preorder below!) Everyday Prayers for Love: Learning to love God, Others and Even Yourself. It's an amazing 31 day devotional and reflective journal that takes you into scripture and shows you how to practically what this love looks like and how to live it out. I can't recommend it enough!! Key Takeaways: A little prayer goes a long way We can all pray to an audience of one who can reach the hearts of millions The more time you spend with God, the more you’ll recognize His voice Be in God’s word so that you can know if what you’re hearing aligns with scripture Be faithful and steward what God is doing in your life right now Pray for eyes to see people as God sees them

| A Wife’s Guide to Biblical Manhood: Walking Alongside Your Husband’s Faith Journey with Vince Miller | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:37:50 | |
Biblical manhood… what is it and why as women should we care that much about it? As women in community with men, whether that be our husband, father, son, brother, co-worker or friend, we need to care about their relationship with God. The world is distorting what manhood is and if we aren't diligent in helping our men seek what the Bible teaches on the topic we could unknowingly walk them towards the wrong path. We have to be supporters in their choosing to following the truth and not culture. My guest this week, Vince Miller, is a ministry veteran in this area. He has written 30+ books for men on all sorts of Biblical topics. From Bible studies to video series, he wants men to know who they are in Christ and get to know Christ better. His heart is for our men and he's here this week to clue us in on how we can come along side the men in our lives and help them grow in their spiritual walk with the Lord. Vince gives us women practical ways we can come alongside our men on their faith journey and goes more depth in the conversation so make sure you listen to it a few times. It is so helpful and encouraging to be clued in to what we can do as wives, daughters, mothers and friends to encourage our men in their faith journey. All in all… this is one of the most fun and informative conversations I've had on the podcast over the last 2 years. Share this with your friends, family and the men in your life! Key Takeaways:

| Enduring Life’s Trials & Holding on to Faith with Lisa Plett | 09 Oct 2024 | 00:33:54 | |
Sometimes what we hope won't happen is exactly what God has planned for us. This isn't a cruel trick from the Lord but instead his divine plan playing out for his glory and our good. These things build our faith and draw us closer to the Lord as we trust him with our lives.
Our conversation was one of vulnerability and honesty when it comes to the trials of life. Lisa shared such great practical advice on how we can endure life's trials while still holding on to our faith. Make sure you pass this conversation & book on to a friend that you know could use some encouragement in their journey. Key Takeaways: Even if we give up on God, he never gives up on us You have permission to lament to God, he welcomes it We don’t have to feel guilty when we tell God how we are feeling Honesty with God is always the best route to take Counseling can give you the strategies to work through & process what we are facing There is always hope because of Jesus even if you can’t see it “I’m not healed - I’m healing”, it’s a constant process

| Stepping Into The Unknown, Embracing Faith & Trusting God’s Plan with Renee Helmkamp | 02 Oct 2024 | 00:41:08 | |
The unknown can be a terrifying thing can't it? As Christ followers we know that we are supposed to trust God with everything but when we can't see where we are going that can be scary. I'll be the first one to admit that I have to remind myself daily of the goodness and faithfulness of God so that I trust Him fully! Without looking back at all he's done in my life and the lives of others (like my guest this week) it's a challenge to embrace my faith and trust God's plan.
Hearing her story of trusting the Lord was exactly what I needed this week. It's an emotional and grief filled time for me personally and when I hear these stories of God's faithfulness it reminds me of his presence and his deep love for me. I pray it does the same for you.
Key Takeaways: Remain open to what God has for you Trusting God fully means having a mindset of adventure Keep your communication with God open and know that He is preparing the way before you Love God and know that he is for you and wants you to experience abundance We can have joy knowing God is in the driver’s seat of life God knows and sees our needs in every moment Practice the presence of the Lord & look for him website: https://kaladiane.com | |||
| Fighting Doubts & Finding Hope Through God's Plan with Lisa Steven | 25 Sep 2024 | 00:37:58 | |
My guest this week knows a thing or two about fighting doubts. Lisa Steven is the co-founder of Hope House Colorado, which provides free self-sufficiency programs to parenting teen moms in key areas of life along with offering housing support and so much more. But Lisa didn't just wake up one day and think… wow what a great idea to support teen moms. She began this journey as a teen mom herself. With little to no support found in her own family, her boyfriend's (now husband) family welcomed her in and extended the love of Jesus to her in a way she had never experienced. Doubt that she could be a mom at such a young age. Yup… she can speak to us about doubt. But also HOPE!! There is such hope in Jesus! Her story and so many others can look impossible but with God at the center, they become possible! Your journey may feel impossible at the moment, but listen in to hear how there is hope written all over it! This conversation is going to leave you with hope, encouragement and a new awareness of God's faithfulness in your life! Key Takeaways: There is nothing you have done or had done to you that could ever make God not love you Take time and look back to see how God has been faithful over your life Don’t count yourself out, God will equip you for what he’s calling you to! Do one thing at a time and trust God, faith takes action one tiny step at a time

| Overcoming Addiction and Living in Freedom with Justin Fahrenbruch | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:40:52 | |
Our testimonies are important! It says right in scripture…. Revelations 12:11 “They overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony..” Too often we don't think our stories matter or will make an impact on the lives of others. When in fact our stories are what God is using to bring others to him! When they hear of the radical transformations, the quiet personal times with the Lord or whatever our stories hold… it draws them into the amazing person of God! That is just what this week's guest is here to talk about! Justin Fahrenbruch is a powerful man of God who is evangelizing anywhere and everywhere he can telling others about how God saved his life. It's nothing he did on his own, it's all Jesus!! It's AMAZING!! I'm so excited that I get to share it with you!! Key Takeaways: - Praising Jesus on Sunday and living in hell Monday through Saturday is not the life we are called to - Bad choices lead to bad habits which leads to addictions - If you’re truly searching for God, he will reveal himself to you - God is after your WHOLE HEART not just part of it - Go from mentally agreeing with the Bible to surrendering your life to Jesus - Jesus is everyone’s savior but not everyone’s Lord (we won’t let him be) - Letting garbage into your life will result in garbage coming out of you - Continue to combat the toxic thoughts from the enemy

| Strategies for Surviving Life's Storms with Pastor Justin Kendrick | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:32:26 | |
Why does God let bad things happen to good people? Why did God let that person die? I love God, why am I struggling so badly? These are the hard questions that we avoid with God until they meet us abruptly in our life. They are questions we need to ask but we aren't sure where to find the answers or maybe be are afraid of finding out the answers. Either way… we need to explore these hard topics as we grow in our faith & confidence in Christ. My guest on the podcast this week, Pastor Justin Kendrick, gives us strategies from his newest book, How to Quiet a Hurricane: Strategies for Christian Endurance in the Midst of Life's Storms, on how to approach these questions. They are necessary to navigate life's overwhelming, frustrating and inevitable storms. These strategies empower us to move past our fears and anxieties into a life of real and enduring peace! Justin Kendrick is the author of Bury Your Ordinary and The Sacred Us. He is the lead pastor of Vox Church, which he founded in 2011 with a small group of friends on the doorstep of Yale University. The church has since grown to multiple locations across New England, with the dream of seeing the least-churched region of the US become the most spiritually vibrant place on earth. - Every time we bargain with God we are demanding that God function at the level of our own reason, which is dangerous - The real roadblock to Christian growth is pride - Life revolves around God ... not me - Elevate the promises of God over your own opinions - The difference between.... God + Me.... God not me.... God then me.... God in me - The secret to Christian growth is God IN me - Be a person who prepares for the storm instead of a person who reacts after they’ve been blown over by the storm https://www.instagram.com/pastorjustinkendrick

| If It's Good Enough For Jesus, It's Good Enough For Me with Rachel D. Baker | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:50:45 | |
There are so many things the world tells us should be at the top of our to-do list and consume our time. But are those the things Jesus wants us focusing on? That's where healthy boundaries come into place. Boundaries aren't walls we build to keep people out or control others, boundaries are more of a personal limit/ guideline so you can manage your own behavior. When you are setting healthy boundaries use the phrase “so that”. “I'm doing this 15 mins of Bible time so that I can connect with God and be a better version of myself for my family.” Rachel and I dive into this at length along with other so many other helpful strategies to help you get back to what Jesus is asking us to do. What is important to him is what needs to be important to us. Rachel D. Baker is a speaker, coach, and author who is obsessed with helping women reclaim their time and sanity. As a chronic pain & illness warrior, special needs mom, and woman with ADHD, Rachel deeply understands the battle of doing All The Things for everyone else while trying to keep your head above water. Now she shares sanity-saving strategies, resources, and scriptures with women through her podcast, “How’s All That Working For Ya?”, encouraging you to create some breathing room in this one and only life. Her encouragement and sass cut through the fluff and speak directly to the hearts of overwhelmed women with a mix of humor, vulnerability, and no-nonsense truths. Key Take Aways:

We've all experience waiting periods in our lives and walking through them without peace is miserable! We talk all about it today! She hopes her writing will point you to the truth of John 1:5 and to the glory of God. His light really does shine in the darkness. When life is hard, and things don’t make sense, she hopes her words direct you to a God who meets you in sorrow, confusion, and doubt and says He is with you. She hopes together we can run our race well – exalting the name of God, doing His will in the world, and living on mission to spread the good news of the gospel far and wide.
