Navigating life's trials often feels like a solitary journey, but it's during these times that we're called to lean into our faith and trust the path God has laid out for us. My own journey through divorce and the ensuing search for purpose has been a testament to this delicate balance. I open up about the struggles of discerning divine messages from my desires, and the importance of intentional quiet time with God to silence the negative self-talk that can easily spiral out of control. Inspired by the teachings of Isaiah 43:18-19, we examine the courage it takes to leave the past behind and step boldly into the future God's planned for us.
It's my hope that this episode will serve as a reminder to consistently seek out time with Jesus, embracing the peace that comes with surrendering to His divine plan.

When the fabric of our lives is torn by trauma, the journey toward mending can be as daunting as it is necessary. Sarah Bowling and Isabell Bowling, a mother-daughter team and authors of "Road to Wholeness Healing from Trauma," join me to unravel the tangled threads of pain and recovery. Together, we delve into the heart of trauma, sharing personal anecdotes and generational wisdom that shed light on the path to healing. We discuss the importance of acknowledging and confronting our deepest wounds, offering solace to others, and the transformative power of faith in the process. The conversation turns to practical, faith-infused strategies for those seeking to lay their burdens at the feet of Jesus and thereby hanging out with Him for awhile.

When life feels like a glob of mess, sometimes all it takes is a stroke of creativity to clear the mind. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Kelly Brinkman, the imaginative force behind "Art for the Soul," in a conversation that reveals how art can be a profound conduit for spiritual renewal. As you listen, you'll be transfixed by the way Kelly compares the malleability of clay in an artist's hands to our own transformation under divine guidance. We weave through the pages of her book, sharing personal moments of struggle and the creative forms of prayer that have deepened our connection with Christ. From painting prayers to understanding the cleansing power of water in art and spirituality, we uncover uplifting practices that promise to rejuvenate your faith and clear your mind.
Kelly and I discuss the parallels between centering clay on a potter's wheel and centering one's life on Jesus, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in both pursuits.
Kelly is offering a special downloadable gift to enhance your Bible study in a creative and engaging way. Join us for this inspiring journey, and discover the transformative potential of art in your spiritual life.
