Today we are going to be talking about “How we long for control.” I think it’s safe to say that a lot of people strongly desire control. Control over their relationships, control over their jobs, and over their kids. The list could go on and on. We crave control and self-sufficiency! But wanting to constantly be in control can leave us hurting, drained, and anxious.  Our guest today, Sharon Hodde Miller, author of the new book, “The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, The Anxiety It Gives Us, And the Real Power God Promises, will be talking about our relationship with control and why our culture is chronically anxious, and most importantly, she will talk about the real power God has given us in Jesus, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.

Today we are going to be talking about “How Immigrants and Refugees Strengthen our churches today” Our country has a long history of immigrants and refugees seeking a better life and finding it in America. For Americans that brings an incredible opportunity to spread the gospel, both individually and also through our local churches. God has called us all to welcome strangers, love our neighbors, and even our enemies, and make disciples of all nations, but sometimes we fail to see the least of these as God does – immensely valuable. Our guests today, Josh Sherif and Sarah Tierney have teamed up to write the book, “The Stranger at Our Shore,” which largely recounts Josh’s journey out of Egypt and Islam to the United States and conversation to the Christian faith. Josh and Sarah help us understand the importance of receiving immigrants into not only our society but lovingly into our churches.

Today we are going to be talking about “finding, keeping, and loving our friends.”  As we get older and life gets busier, we find ourselves spending less time in the company of good friends. Organic friendships become nearly impossible with all of our obligations constantly pulling us in different directions. Our guest today, Bailey Hurley, author of the book, “Together is a Beautiful Place,” will be helping us learn why women find it so challenging to make and maintain genuine friendships and how to overcome those challenges.

Today we are going to be talking about “the importance of quiet time and creating habits to spend time with God daily that is simple and achievable.” To say that we are busy people today is an understatement. Finding time to fit everything into the day that we need and want to accomplish is a huge task, not to mention exhausting. We know that setting aside quiet moments with God is important, but for one reason or another, meeting with him on a regular basis just feels hard.  Our guest today, Naomi Vacaro, creator of the Wholehearted Community and author of the book, “Quiet – Creating Grace-Based Rhythms for Spending Time with Jesus,” will be joining us today to share her approach to quiet time that will refresh your heart and soul. She will help us see how having daily time with God is possible no matter what season of life you are in.

Today we are going to be talking about “Following God’s Will.” While Scripture is full of wisdom and advice, it isn’t always easy to know how God’s Word in the Bible—written thousands of years ago—should apply to our lives now. As a result, many Christian women wrestle with the question, “What does God want me to do—both in general and in specific situations I face every day?” Our guest today, Brittany Ann, author of the upcoming book, “Follow God’s Will: Biblical Guidelines for Everyday Life,” will help us answer these types of questions to boldly pursue God’s will for our lives and find practical ways to live out our faith on a daily basis while helping us understand God’s written Word and how it applies to us today.

Today we are going to be talking about “the people that were there at the very beginning of Creation and hear a fresh account of how they fit into God’s unfolding plan of redemption.” Most Christians are familiar with the opening words of Genesis: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” But beyond those iconic words, sometimes things can seem a little hazy. Our guest today, Dan Darling, author of the book “The Characters of Creation,” will be talking about the men and women present at the beginning of the world and help clear up some of the questions that may arise when we read through this beautiful book of beginnings—Genesis.

Today we are going to be talking about “How God provides help even when mountains seem unmovable”.  I think it’s safe to say that most of us have faced uncertain moments in our lives or found ourselves in hard places that we didn’t expect or want! Those moments can be scary, lonely, and hard to handle on our own.  Our guest today, Kathy Hutto, knows firsthand of those experiences of life-changing, out-of-control events and how God was faithful to see her through a tough season and he’s still leading her today. Kathy will share with us her story and how we can be sure that God is always faithful even when life suddenly twists and turns in directions we didn’t intend to go.
