How do we process loss? And how do we keep a view of eternity when it feels so far away? This week, we talk with Phylicia Masonheimer as part of the What Cannot Be Lost book club, pulling apart the complex emotions of grief talked about in Chapter 5: Eternity's Shore. Phylicia shares about how we are called to be people who do not fear death and in this tender conversation, we tell one another the beautiful truth that we'll see our loved ones again.

Amanda Williams is back and we're thankful to have her to discuss chapter 4. As we processed the lingering and waiting of imminent loss, she shared about her late father, Rex, and how his legacy lives on while we miss him on this side of eternity. This chapter was heavy, but we're certain Jesus is still present, even in the waiting. 

Shannan Martin is a gem of a human being who sees beauty in the sky above and the earth below her feet. She's an author (and hi, her new book Start With Hello is a book twin with WCBL!) and in this episode we unpack chapter 3, which is aptly named, "The Glory is at the Ground Level." Come listen in as we look for goodness and find the love of God in the simplest and most normal locations.

This week's guest is Bethany Barnard, the writer of this season's theme song, "Comfort" off of her album, "All My Questions" Beth is a musician and poet, wife and mother and we talk about grief, marriage, asking for help, losing a parent and how Jesus gives us the gift of one another.

Summer Mini Series Finale time! What does it mean to be vulnerable? Bianca Chow thought she had life figured out but when anxiety and depression showed up, she knew she had to be honest. She brings some beautiful insight into community, reaching out for help, singleness and in her words: If we can’t truly be ourselves in the community of believers then what are we even doing?

Next week we start the book club season! Check out more at www.thegoodbook.com/not-lost 

Hope and Chris are friends who love Jesus and tend to be very different in their personalities but they had a joint goal of getting women to love the Word of God and goodness, this is a fun chat. We're talking about the wisdom of calling and friendship and with one working on mental health and the other holding a degree in theology, it was a GOOD TIME. 

Also, reminder: Cheer Her On Weekend is Oct 15-16! More info on the website at cheerheron.com 

Cheryl Luke is, appropriately, our first two-timer guest. Ever-wise and leaning on Jesus, she brings us along as she talks about how to find the motivation to get back up and rely on Jesus.

When we met in college, they were Kate and Sarah Sparks but since then, these sisters have gone on to pursue Jesus in similar and different ways. What does it mean to be wise and how do we cope with feelings of competition? These twin sisters are singer-songwriters, poets and this conversation is nourishment to anyone looking to use imagination to honor God. 

Oh, we're back, people. This season we're asking the question: "What is Wise?" by talking to some of Melissa's friends who are purusing wisdom over knowledge. Join us this week with Jami Nato who is hilarious, thoughtful, and get ready to start out the gate strong by discussing THE INTERNET and how to approach it well.
