What do you get when you cross an already busy December schedule with a pet emergency? A happy mistake! This week's episode was recorded today, December 6th because of a technical oversight on my (Jaime's) part. But it turned into a very sweet opportunity for us to take some much-needed time to reflect on the gifts of Christmas. 


So if you're needing a break from the holiday busyness, look no further. Pull up a chair and join us for an Advent meditation.

We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about longing for answered prayer, celebrating answered prayer and everything in-between. But we don’t often talk about the prayers we look back on and thank God he didn’t answer the way we wanted!
This week we share some times we prayed for something that in retrospect wouldn’t have been the best thing. Then we springboard into an exercise that can help when things don’t go as planned, to help us keep in mind that God really does know best!

If you've been around for a while, you know we're dog lovers. That's why we're incredibly excited to bring you a very special episode of the podcast: This week we sat down with Larry Randolph and Jennifer Marshall Bleakley to talk about their book Finding Grace: The Inspiring True Story of Therapy Dogs Bringing Comfort, Hope, and Love to a Hurting World.


Larry and his wife Susan co-founded Canines for Christ in 2007, and since then they’ve seen the therapy dog program grow into an international volunteer-based ministry reaching hundreds of thousands of people with God’s love.


Join us as Larry and Jennifer talk about the surprising role prayer played in Canines for Christ becoming a ministry, some of the ways they've seen therapy dogs open doors for prayer and ministry, and the power of therapy dogs to bring the love of God to a hurting world.
