Have you ever felt like you did not quite fit in?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with author Jenifer Jennings about her new children's book, Dotty Makes a Difference, and the beautiful reminder that God creates each one of us on purpose and for a purpose.

Jenifer shares the personal story behind Dotty, a spotted zebra who longs to fit in with the rest of her striped herd. What began as a writing contest entry became a powerful story of faith, friendship, courage, and trusting that God can use what makes us different for His glory.

In this episode, Missy and Jenifer discuss:

• Why children and adults often struggle with comparison and the desire to fit in

• How parents and grandparents can speak God's truth over children who feel different

• Why friendship and community help us walk in courage

• How God uses our weaknesses, gifts, and differences to point others back to Him

This conversation is a sweet reminder for kids, parents, grandparents, writers, and believers of all ages that our differences are not mistakes. God can use every part of our story for His purpose.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

What if the way we see God as Father has been shaped more by our earthly wounds than by the truth of Scripture?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with pastor and author Chuck Ammons about his new book, Reconstructing Dad. Chuck shares his personal story of losing his father at a young age, walking through fatherlessness, becoming a dad to five children, and discovering the tender, steady, and faithful heart of God as Father.

In this episode, Missy and Chuck discuss:

• How father wounds can shape the way we see God

• Why we need to read Scripture through what Chuck calls the Emmaus lens

• How striving, fear, and anxiety can reveal an orphan mentality

• Why rest is not laziness, but an invitation to trust the Father

Chuck reminds us that bold faith is not always quick obedience with immediate results. Sometimes bold faith looks like holding on to what God planted, even through storms, waiting, refining, and uncertainty.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Have you ever wondered what you might be missing when you read Scripture through only an English, Western lens?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy chats with Lauren Crews, author of Word Made Flesh: Echoes of Faith in the Hebrew Alphabet. Lauren takes a topic that can feel intimidating — the Hebrew alphabet — and makes it approachable, devotional, and exciting.

Through word pictures, biblical imagery, and simple examples, Lauren helps us see how the Hebrew language can deepen our understanding of Scripture and point us more clearly to Jesus. From the meaning behind the letter Aleph to the beauty of Shalom, this conversation is full of "aha" moments that will make you want to slow down, open your Bible, and linger with God's Word.

In this episode, Missy and Lauren discuss:

• Why Hebrew is a pictographic language and how each letter carries meaning and imagery.

• How the Hebrew alphabet points to Jesus through pictures of strength, sacrifice, covenant, and peace.

• Why Bible study does not have to be intimidating or overly academic.

• How slowing down with Scripture helps us move beyond checking a box and into a deeper relationship with God.

You do not have to be a scholar to dig deeper into God's Word. Start small, slow down, look up a word, and ask the Lord to open your eyes to the beauty already waiting in Scripture.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Are you ready for Jesus to return, or have you pushed aside the hope of His coming?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with author and Bible prophecy teacher Todd Hampson, author of The Non-Prophet's Guide to the Rapture. Todd brings clarity to a topic many believers either avoid, misunderstand, or feel unsure how to talk about. With Scripture as the foundation, he reminds us that the return of Jesus is not meant to stir up fear, but to strengthen our hope, deepen our trust in God's Word, and encourage us to live faithfully while we wait.

In this episode, Missy and Todd discuss:

• Why many believers have stopped talking about the rapture

• How the return of Jesus should shape the way we live today

• What the Jewish wedding imagery teaches us about Christ and His bride

• Why Bible prophecy reminds us that God's Word can be trusted

The return of Jesus is not meant to scare believers into hiding. It is meant to anchor us in hope, strengthen our faith, and remind us to live boldly for Him right now.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

What if discovering who God created you to be begins with letting His Word renew your mind?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with Debra Elrod, author of Discovering Your Spiritual DNA: The Complete Guide to Changing Your Thinking and Transforming Your Life. Debra shares her testimony of being radically saved, how God's Word transformed her life, and why spiritual DNA points us back to who God created us to be before wounds, labels, and false identities shaped us.

Through her story, Debra reminds listeners that God's Word is living and active, the Holy Spirit reveals truth in the hidden places of our hearts, and transformation is not something to fear but something to receive.

In this episode, Missy and Debra discuss:

• What spiritual DNA is and how the Holy Spirit reveals who God created us to be

• How God's Word renews the mind and transforms our lives

• Why childhood wounds and false identity can affect emotional and spiritual growth

• How the church can respond to mental health struggles with truth and compassion

• Why Narrowgate Now helps leaders bring biblical truth into the marketplace

God is not finished with you. Through His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, He can renew your mind, heal hidden places, and lead you into the person He created you to be.

What does bold faith look like when God calls you to step out before you feel ready?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with author Jacob Weldon, author of The Anointed Series, a fictionalized retelling of 1 and 2 Samuel. Jacob brings a unique perspective as a Marine Corps veteran, attorney, husband, father, and writer who has spent years researching the people, places, and battles surrounding King David's life.

Through his own story and his writing, Jacob points listeners back to the power of God's Word, the importance of obedience, and the courage it takes to trust God with the outcome.

In this episode, Missy and Jacob discuss:

• How reading 1 and 2 Samuel in the Marine Corps changed Jacob's faith

• Why we should not reduce King David's life to just one battle with Goliath.

• What Jonathan's courage and humility teach us about bold faith

• How writers and believers can stay faithful to God's calling in busy seasons

God often prepares us through hidden obedience before calling us into visible courage. Bold faith means taking the next step and trusting Him with the outcome.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Is your identity rooted in who Christ says you are, or shaped by what the world says you should be?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with Mary Rooney Armand, author of Uniquely Made: Understanding and Embracing Your Identity in Christ, about the freedom that comes when we stop letting the world define us and start resting in who Christ says we are.

In this episode, Missy and Mary discuss:

• Why accomplishments, roles, social media, and approval can never give us a secure identity

• How the Katrina Rose became a symbol of beauty, resilience, and remaining rooted in Christ

• How identity thieves like rejection, disappointment, pride, comparison, and unforgiveness steal our joy

• Why healthy boundaries, spiritual gifts, and God-given calling help us live with freedom and clarity

Your identity is not found in what you accomplish, how others respond to you, what you have walked through, or what the world says about you. Your identity is secure in Christ, and when you remain rooted in Him, you can live with freedom, clarity, and bold faith.

Do you wake up with hope, or do your mornings already feel overwhelming before the day even begins?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now Podcast, Missy talks with Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of "How to Love Your Morning: Faith-Filled Habits to Build a Life of Joy and Purpose One Day at a Time."

Jennifer studied over 200 mornings in Scripture and discovered something powerful–mornings matter deeply to God. From the first light of creation to manna in the wilderness, from the prayers of Jesus to the resurrection morning, Scripture shows us that God often meets His people at the beginning of the day.

But this conversation is not about waking up at 5 a.m., creating the perfect quiet time, or adding one more thing to your already full plate. It is about learning to recognize God's presence in the midst of your real life and to begin each day with hope, grace, and purpose.

Whether your mornings are quiet, chaotic, rushed, grief-filled, or unpredictable, Jennifer offers practical encouragement for building faith-filled rhythms that help you start your day with God.

In this episode, Missy and Jennifer discuss:

• Why mornings are so significant throughout Scripture

• How God's provision, presence, and mercy meet us at the beginning of the day

• Why being a "morning person" is not about the clock, but about the posture of your heart

• The Shema and what it teaches us about loving God with our whole selves

• How morning rhythms can steady us during grief, caregiving, stress, and hard seasons

• The four morning archetypes and how they can help you understand what motivates you

• Simple ways to move from morning dread to hope

Your morning does not have to be perfect to be purposeful. God meets you at the beginning of the day with new mercies, steady presence, and enough grace for what is ahead.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

What do you do when someone you love is trapped in addiction, and you feel helpless to fix it?

In this episode of Bold Faith Now, Missy sits down with Dawn R. Ward, author of From Guilt to Grace: Hope and Healing for Christian Moms of Addicted Children. Dawn shares her deeply personal journey of walking through addiction in her own family, the fear of middle-of-the-night phone calls, the pressure to "fake fine," and the hard but holy process of learning to trust Jesus with what she could not control.

This conversation offers hope to parents, family members, and loved ones who are weary, grieving, praying, and wondering if God still sees them in the middle of the storm. Dawn reminds us that addiction may be powerful, but Jesus is stronger, and His grace is available in our deepest time of need.

In this episode, they discuss:

• The fear, grief, and exhaustion families experience when addiction enters the home

• Why parents need to release guilt and receive God's grace

• The difference between enabling, control, and "rugged love"

• How to keep praying, trusting, and clinging to Jesus even when the answer has not come yet

The key point to remember: you did not cause it, you cannot control it, and you cannot cure it, but you can run to the throne of grace, cling to Jesus, and trust Him with the person you love.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

What if the hunger you feel isn't something to fix, but something God is inviting you deeper into?

In today's episode of Bold Faith Now, Missy sits down with author Amy Loflin to talk about her book, A Story Worth Living. Amy shares how a season of spiritual dryness led to a deeper pursuit of Jesus, and how that same "holy hunger" might be stirring in your life, too. Through the story of the bleeding woman, this conversation calls us out of surface-level faith and into a bold, intentional connection with Christ.

In this episode, they discuss:

• What a "holy hunger" is and why it's actually a gift from God

• The difference between being near Jesus and being transformed by Him

• What's keeping you on the surface (your "pool noodles")

• How your story is part of a bigger story God is writing

You weren't created to stay hidden or live on the surface—bold faith begins when you intentionally reach for Jesus.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
