God Winks with Gina Tognoni and Ashley Crane

How do you recognize God’s direction when life is loud and the work that once energized you leaves you feeling depleted?

We’re opening Season 3 of God Winks with Pastor Rich Butler of Hope Church in South Carolina. We had an honest conversation about hearing God, recognizing a change in seasons, and making room for Him in everyday life. 

Pastor Rich shares how prayer, biblical fasting, and creating what he calls “lonely places” to be alone with God have shaped his faith and guided unexpected turns in his ministry. This episode also explores Sabbath rest, protecting time for family, finding our identity in Christ, and how the Holy Spirit inspires creativity in every kind of work. 

He also shares the God Wink behind Hope Church’s Greenville campus: how a former strip club became a place of worship, and the unexpected connection between his team’s prayers and how that came to be. 

If you’re navigating a transition, struggling to slow down, or longing for a deeper relationship with God, join us for this conversation about trusting Him with your time and your next steps.
