In today's episode, the podcast team and I reflect on and celebrate all that God has done through Season 2 of the Friend to Friend podcast. We're excited to share how God has used the podcast to provide hope and help for listeners, while in turn, also teaching us in His own unique way. With many miles that separate us, and many more to come with Mindy's upcoming move to Australia, we seized the opportunity to record our annual recap episode, in person, during Friend to Friend LIVE 2021. Join us, friends, for lessons learned, shared and what's to come in Season 3! Happy listening!

Episode 39 | Mother's Day is just around the corner! And as we prepare to celebrate and honor the special women in our lives, we're concluding our Motherhood Mini-Series with, "The Later Years: Time to Care for Mom." There are hard conversations to be had, questions to be answered and burdens to be carried when seasons of life change; but through it all, God is faithful! In today's episode, my mother, Lori O'Rourke, joins me to share her journey of caring for her own mother during the later years of both declining mental and physical health.

Episode 38 | In today's episode, my guest Sherri Patterson and I discuss "The Middle Years: Setting Goals and Letting Go." The responsibility to guide our children's hearts wisely and then prepare to see them leave the nest can at times feel a bit overwhelming. But knowing this, that we can have confidence in God's Word and in His ways will guide us in both setting these goals and in preparing our hearts to let go. Sherri, with 5 daughters of her own, gives us a glimpse of how this played out in her own home. Happy listening friends!

Bonus Episode | My husband J.R. recently preached the following message, "The Year of Jubilee," and I knew immediately that I wanted to share it with you, the listener. I pray that you will find your greatest hope and help from your personal relationship with God and through the teaching and preaching of your local church. This podcast is meant only to be icing on the cake of that foundation.

20 years ago today, my husband trusted Christ as his Saviour in a small church in Georgia. His life forever changed that day, not only eternally, but also in his own life's direction. Now 20 years later, he pastors the church that God called us to plant just 4 years ago. I want to honor my husband and celebrate our Saviour by sharing today's episode with you!

It is the joy of my life to minister to the one who ministers to our church. To my husband J.R., "Happy spiritual birthday! My life is complete because you said yes to Jesus!

Episode 36 | On today's episode, my guest Theresa Schwenke and I, discuss the topic of divorce. Specifically, how she has found hope and healing from Christ in His Word. God's perfect plan is one man and one wife for life, yet we know that because of the hardness of a person's heart divorce happens and seemingly more frequent today than in times past. Relationships are severed and homes are broken, however God brings to mind two wonderful words, "but God." Today's episode is sure to encourage those who may be on this same path and to help equip the friends of those who are hurting, to be a help and not a hurt. Happy listening, friends!

Listeners, there are days when I think, "Me? Cultivate a heart for Christ? Bear the Spirit's fruit and reflect His image? How could I ever? Today's episode serves to remind us all that, "I cannot, but Jesus in me can."

On our journey of walking with God, it is so important to find courage from those who have followed Christ also. Today, I'll share the story of Corrie Ten Boom, a courageous Christian who like countless others can echo the message, "All eyes on Jesus!"

The audio/video of Corrie Ten Boom that was shown during this session from a YouTube video is no longer accessible. However, this similar story excerpt can be searched on other videos and found in her book, Tramp for the Lord.

Feelings can frequently blind us from the truth, prevent us from growing spiritually, and even cause us to harm others with our words and actions. We live in a world that promotes the mantra: "If you feel it then say it, do it and it must be true." But praise God that as born-again believers we have the Holy Spirit as a guide to help navigate our emotions.

Kayte McCoy joins me to share how God has guided her through emotions that stemmed from abuse as a child and then great loss as an adult. We discuss how through His Word and by His Spirit, God can answer the questions, " Why do I feel this way? And what do I do with all of these emotions?"
