Encouraged & Equipped

Jesus captured Caroline Pearce’s heart at a young age, and she’s never looked back. With beautiful humility and grace she invites us into struggles in her mental health, the current challenges of marriage, and her passion for students. While Caroline will be the first to admit her weaknesses, we think you will see someone more in love with God’s glory than her own.

Some battles we face over and over again. And we have a choice – do we give in to bitterness or do we look for what God wants to teach us this time? As Paige Dunn walks us through her struggle with anxiety, we are struck by her peaceful faith. (And no we’ve ever used the word peaceful to describe a discussion of anxiety before.) We think you’ll be motivated by Paige’s practical trust in God and pick up some helpful tips for things you face regularly.

In life it’s rare to meet someone as friendly and disarming as Brooke Seale. After five minutes with her you want to be her best friend. We love that she sat down and told us her story. It’s full of small town memories, a love for the local church, God’s unexpected provision, and arguably the best Spring Break ever. Grab a cup of coffee, preferably from Crude, and enjoy hanging out with Brooke.

From an early age, Katie Stadler’s heart was drawn to the vulnerable. Step by step, God led her into opportunities to advocate for kids, the orphan, the disadvantaged, and the displaced – both in the US and Ukraine. While your story may not look exactly like Katie’s, the call to fully depend on and follow God wherever He leads is a privilege you don’t want to overlook.

Sometimes difficult things end up being the best things. Kate Tokar has found that to be true – things can be both good and hard. She shares with us that through the early years of her marriage, to cloudy days in Ohio, to tearful goodbyes, God has invited her to trust Him. Kate has fought to say yes and has found a hope in God that changes everything.

Sometimes the most powerful tool in the room is the most unexpected; in this episode we highlight one of those hidden gems. Ranille Drummond and Kacey Williamson invite us to grow in gentleness. Without a doubt it’s challenging and requires self-control, but it is also one of the most beautiful instruments of a life lived with grace and truth.

God writes our stories – often in ways we do not expect. But when we look back we can sometimes catch a glimpse of what He is doing. Reflecting with Kristen Hoff on her life we see Him creating and using her as a shepherd – while a nurse, a mom, a church staff member and so much more. Her heart and skill in caring for people opens our eyes to the opportunity to do the same.

To some, surrender sounds freeing while to others it sounds scary. Either way, it is an invitation that is worth accepting. Shamyra Leonard and Brooke Seale delve into the goodness of surrender as well as – to use their words – how gnarly it can be (it is gnarly at times). You will love hearing the wisdom and stories of these two work BFFs.

Sometimes life does not go like we planned. We might even say that most of the time it does not go like we planned. While we know God’s plans are better, that does not mean it is always easy. Lindsay Horton shares with us both the heartache and the hope when God’s plans, and timing, look different than ours.

Pam Cooke has an amazing ability to see and remember what God has done – particularly His provision. Yes, God provides physical things for us. But Pam opens our eyes to other ways He provides, especially in ways we might not expect. You might be surprised to see all He does for us!
