As Christ followers, we’re called to serve others and inspire transformation on a cultural mountain of influence, but all too often, we launch into ministry ill prepared. Based on Dana’s most recent book, Ascend, discover how the act of skiing serves as a profound analogy for effectively navigating your ministry mountain. 

Some dreams are bizarre, others are frightening, and some can seem as if they contain powerful meaning, however elusive to us. Biblical dream interpreter Janie Wisdom joins the conversation as Dana and Laura discuss the various types and significance of dreams. Gain insight for dream interpretation, along with common pitfalls to avoid, when seeking to recognize God-given messages through dreams.

At home, work, among friends, and in other social settings, many of us have become accustomed to a culture of dishonor—social interactions that tear one another down instead of building one another up and ascribing worth to others. Learn how to recognize unhealthy social mindsets and habits, as well as how to do your part to inspire transformation and foster self-worth in those within your social circles.  

Child educator and children’s minister Stephanie Chase joins Dana and Laura to share a wealth of insight concerning how to instill self-worth in kids. Simple steps can make a world of difference in our kids’ lives—and ours’ as well!

Dana and Laura explain what self-worth is, what it isn’t, and why so many of us struggle with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity—or self-centered pride—even as adults. We all base our self-worth on something; trade in faulty foundations that produce inner turmoil for a sure foundation that removes all performance pressure, comparison, and feelings of superiority and inferiority.  

There are times we may suddenly feel uneasy upon entering a certain environment—an unfamiliar town, a hotel room, someone’s home, or a room in our own house. Is it just phycological, or are we picking up on something spiritually dark around us? Dana and Laura explain how to know the difference and what to do in either case.

While many dreams are merely our imagination at work, scripture shows that God can give us dreams to reveal His will to us. There are also terrifying, demonically-induced nightmares. Dana and Laura share practical wisdom for discerning the source of our dreams, overcoming nightmares, and receiving all that God intends when He gives us a spiritual dream.    

When the ones we love die, the shock and grief can compel us to talk to them, perhaps clinging to the hope that they are still with us and even protecting us. In some cultures, communing with deceased ancestors is celebrated. But biblically speaking, why does God forbid such practices? Dana and Laura explain how our demonic enemy seeks to exploit our longing to reunite with the deceased, all the while revealing where true comfort is found.
