Deb Mitchel, director of Re|Engage, and Eileen and Mike Sienkiewicz, are sharing with us how they took their marriages to the next level and how you can too. Re|engage is a ministry here at Mission Hills (created by WaterMark) that offers hope to marriages by helping couples move toward oneness through stories of grace and teaching, focusing on things like humility, confession, forgiveness, and commitment. Don’t you want to be fulfilled in your most intimate relationship?

Thinking about community and how it begins with us as individuals. Us making the individual choice to give and receive love to those God has put in our path. Listen in as Stacy Ludwig’s friend, Angela Parks, shares her experience with receiving God’s unconditional love from an individual in an unlikely place at a pivotal time with a life-altering result. You will no doubt enjoy this story of the lost being brought home.

Who doesn’t want freedom from addictive behaviors, compulsive thinking, or sin patterns. Who is just plain tired of always feeling anxious or angsty? Who wants to experience growth and new life? Brooke Gage brought her friend and co-worker, Amy Whitehouse to talk with Stacy about a new ministry launching at Mission Hills. It is called Re:Generation. It is a culmination of what Brooke and Stacy have been discussing regarding personal whole health and the connection with community.

Join Stacy as she visits with her special guest, Crystal Boecker, who is a certified spiritual director. Crystal serves with Global Services Network providing spiritual direction and formation services for those serving in ministries around the globe. She is also a certified pilates instructor and locally leads prayer and pilates retreats. Get to know Crystal a little bit as she then shares how she leads others into making healthy connections between the body and spirit.

Join Stacy as she welcomes back Biblical Counselor Brooke Gage, to talk about this big broad topic of spiritual health. Brooke will explain how the body, soul, and spirit are all connected. She will also tackle questions like, what is the spirit, why do we have this spirit, why do we need to tend to it, and how do we keep it healthy? You will walk away with some great answers along with some spiritual practices that you can put into practice immediately.

Welcome back to Anchor + Waves, a podcast for all women in all walks of life. In today's episode, we have our own Brooke Gage back on to talk about tough emotions. This is going to be a fun, and trying, look at overwhelming emotions and how to handle them! We're going to give our emotions our full attention today, and it's going to be great. And we're also excited to bring you another "I'm Diggin' It" segment with our very own producer, Colin McFarland.

Welcome back to another exciting episode here on Anchor + Waves! We love bringing you stories, ideas, and tools to help you through the tough and joyful moments in your life. And pressing on our hearts has been the topic of "marriage" over this last year. So what do we do if we struggle in our marriage? How do we honor God as things seem tough? Today we have Coletta Smith back on to talk about guarding your marriage from sudden catastrophe and the slow drift.

As we have been learning about self-care and engaging in healthy community, we are at a halfway point in the year. The perfect time to take a pause and figure out if we are able to apply the things we have been learning. If we can’t, it is because we are stuck? We can get all the advice and training from the most experienced individuals in their fields, but if we are stuck, we can’t apply what we learned and move forward. Join Stacy as she discusses five different ways we get stuck.

One of the ways that we can be intentional with relationships and community is healthy intentional mentoring. It is something we are called to do no matter what age we are. It is also something that is so organic it can be hard to feel confident about whether or not we are doing it “right.” So, why not look to those that have a lifetime of experience and learn from them. Ironically that is what mentoring is all about!

We have another information-packed episode for you. Stacy has Biblical Counselor Brooke Gage joining her again, this time to talk about self-talk and how it plays a part in taking your thoughts captive. It is amazing to learn how important it is for our personal health, our relationship with God, and our relationship with others to be aware of what we are telling ourselves. Brooke brings some really practical information to us with tangible action points, so you are going to want to take some notes.
