- 48: Can I trust God's plan for my life?
We love to put Jeremiah 29:11 on our coffee mugs and wall prints — but what does it REALLY mean? How can we truly trust that God is in control of our lives? Does he really have our best in mind?
In this great conversation with Megan Marshaman we dive in deep to what is means to trust God. If God gives us a hope and a future, what does that look like?

Immigration. Such a hard topic in our culture today, but a much needed conversation. Maybe you are unsure of what to believe and struggling to understand the narrative behind immigration. Today's episode is a great conversation with Sarah Jackson, author of "The House the Love Built" and Executive Director of Casa de Paz.
Because, immigrants...we get the job done.

41 min - 40: How do I wait well?
We all know what it’s like to wait, and it’s not always an easy spot to be in. Whether we are waiting for a pandemic to end, waiting on an answer from God, waiting for a job — we all know what it’s like to wait.
Today I’m chatting with Jessica Hottle about how to wait well. When we find ourselves in seasons of getting a “no” or simply waiting, how can we do it with grace and patience?
31 min - 39: How do I talk to my kids about pornography?
"How do I talk to my kids about pornography?", a question I recently received from a listener and a great question! It's incredibly important to teach our children about pornography and help create a plan to resist. Kristen Jenson and I discuss this incredibly important topic.
Kristen gives some really great practical advice to help parents with this topic and tools to help our children be prepared. As Kristen says: “you have two choices: you can cross your fingers, or you can be proactive!” Let’s be proactive parents!LINKS FROM THE SHOWprotectyoungminds.org
