#299: Can I Build a Strong and Beautiful Life? With Anh Lin

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What do you do to unwind? What’s your favorite smell or sound?  These are just a few of the questions we were asked as we sat around the bistro table in Plant City, Florida at a Fresh Grounded Faith event. Author and podcaster Annie F. Downs and singer-songwriter Laura Story were with me, and these women gave so much insight and inspiration when we spilled the beans. We talked about the importance of hanging out with a small group, how I preserve memories when I can’t see pictures, and if you have to be an extrovert to go into ministry. Plus, we were asked about how to deal with disappointment when a deep longing remains unfulfilled, as well as how to show yourself grace when you feel like a failure. This conversation was deep and wise, encouraging and fun, and it would be even better if you joined us. So pull up your chair at the bistro, and let’s spill some beans.

#298: Spill the Beans LIVE with Annie F. Downs and Laura Story [Fresh Grounded Faith Plant City, FL]

With each wave of resistance in life, it can be so tempting to simply give up—to quit the calling, to leave the relationship, to walk away from all the dreams God may have placed on your heart. But according to today’s guest, Pastor Nick Connolly, God hasn’t let go of you, so you do not want to let go either. Nick will help you choose persistence in the face of resistance, find renewed energy and faith, and confidently pursue the promise of who God made you to be. Plus, he’ll get real practical about how you can outlast discouragement and discover a resilience you never thought was possible. So, don’t give up yet! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/297

#297: Can I Persevere When I Want to Quit? With Nick Connolly

When your life is turned upside down and you realize it’s the end of your hopes and dreams … your plans and ambitions … what you thought life would be like, it can seem like the end of the world. Or at least the world as you know it. Whether it’s a personal crisis, national chaos, or global catastrophe, it can feel like all hope is lost. But, my friend, hope is not lost, and today, Bible teacher Amy Lively is here to pour you a venti-sized cup of hope. She’ll guide you through the beautiful story of Peter and show you how to set your hope on Christ alone. And you’ll discover that when the end of the world as we know it looms, it’s just the beginning of the power of Jesus. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/296

#296: Can I Survive the End of the World As I Know It? With Amy Lively

After a devastating brain cancer diagnosis, today’s guest, Jay Hewitt, had a decision to make: Should he give up on his faith or practice what he preached and trust that with God, all things are possible? Well, if he’s on the 4:13, you know the decision he made! But what he did and how he did it will totally bless you and teach you how you can face hard things too. Faith in action for Jay included competing in an IRONMAN triathlon while undergoing cancer treatment. Incredible, right? Well, perhaps an IRONMAN isn’t for you, but what it represents certainly applies. Jay’s race serves as a call to resilience for all of us! So, get ready to unleash your superpower, because the same power God put in Jay is the power He’s placed in you! It’s Christ’s power that gives you strength, so even when you are weak, through Christ you are strong. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/295
