Cheer Her On

Katy Rose is a woman of many talents. She's an artist, illustrator, advocate and author. This season, in fact, her artwork is on every part of our Instagram—the logo, the promo slides, everything. We talked about parenting, foster care and what it means to bring out the gifts in your children. Also, we have a key passage of scripture in common, which is a delight to discover. Listen and be refreshed!

Dr. Pam MacRae is an academic, mentor, and encourager of young women. She is wise and smart and has grown up around the local church which makes her one of my favorite people. Listen in as she shares about her life experiences, speaks to our insecurities (because sometimes, women don’t treat other women well,) and reminds us that we’re all called to be part of the local church.

Let's talk about how the resurrection changes everything, how ministry is hard work but worth it, and what to do when we're facing death. Lauren Chandler tells us that God is still faithful, even when things look dark as she recounts the story of her husband Matt's cancer journey and how they learned to look to God in everything. Also, we discuss theology and why we need to pursue who God is in real ways. 

Goodness, I can't say enough about Amanda Bible Williams. She is a kind friend, fierce advocate and she sure loves the Bible. We talk about why God's Word matters, how community changes everything in times of crisis, and what it looks like to have an online prayer team reminding you of God's faithfulness. You don't want to miss a moment. 

If you're a human and have social media, you know that it's...complicated. This week, we're talking to our friend Jen Lee about how to be healthy in our choices and aware of our motivation in the digital world. We also talk about escapism in general, good fiction and why friends keep us in reality. 

The AAPI community is near and dear to our hearts in this time of collective grief and as a podcast with an advisory board that's 50% Asian-American, we felt it was necessary to have a conversation about the violent attacks against our AAPI brothers and sisters. Vivian Mabuni (host of Someday is Here) and Grace P. Cho (poet and speaker) have an honest, candid chat with us on how to listen well, support those affected by racism, and why being Asian is a beautiful thing in God's eyes. 

If you don't already know Sara Groves by her music, I'm sorry. But don't worry, we're going to remedy that. Join us as we talk about anxiety, living in the valleys, and the powerful Truth that it won't always feel this way. There is hope on the other side of your heavy, friend. Keep going and let Sara tell you what Jesus has done.

The first step, they say, is admitting that something is wrong. As Christians, we are called to carry one another’s burden but to be on the receiving end of that can be hard. In this honest and grounding conversation, we hear from singer/songwriter Bethany Barnard about loss, knowing our limits, and allowing the silence of God to be an invitation into His nearness. If you’re getting worn out, sit down and let her tell you some Truth.

Sandra McCracken is a woman who is looking for God to show up. As a creative and singer/songwriter, she makes the effort to slow down and soak in His Word and it's changed everything. If you are needing to stop the break-neck fast pace, slow down for a moment and listen in.

Clarissa Moll is a writer that cuts to the heart with her winsome wisdom. A lover of beauty and nature, she finds God's presence in nearly everything. In the summer of 2019, her husband died suddenly and she was thrust into new singlehood, grief, and making a new sort of life for her family. You don't want to miss out on this honest conversation.
