It was a joy to be able to catch up with my friend, Desirée Dillon!   Desirée is an actress based out of New York City, but her hometown roots are in Miami, Oklahoma.   She has performed professionally with theaters, operas, and symphonies- most recently portraying the role of Mrs. du Maurier in the national Broadway tour of Finding Neverland, before the show had to prematurely close due to COVID-19. 

Desirée is radiant light on and off the stage, and she uses the gifts the Lord has given her to encourage and edify others.  For over a decade, she has set an example for me of what it looks like to model Spirit-filled strength, humility, and generosity. Join us for our conversation about our love for showtunes, following God's plan even when we don't see exactly where He's leading, and living lives with open hands, not closed fists.

Shannon Rodenberg is the pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Fairland, Oklahoma.  She's one of my dearest friends in vocational ministry, and I love getting to catch up with her any chance I can get.  I greatly appreciate her heart for serving God and His people in rural communities. 

Here is what she had shared in the accidentally deleted portion of the episode:
"Even during the worst moments in my life, this remains true, now and forever: God created me and loves me.  Jesus rose from the dead and defeated sin and death.  The Holy Spirit is with me, and I am never alone.  It is because of this love that will not let me go that I find my hope."   

She has been a contributing writer in the following publications:

I'm so happy I was able to sit and chat with Olivia Loghry last week.  I love Olivia's heart for the Lord and His children.  She selflessly serves in various capacities, and in several ministries and organizations, so that kids and their families can be introduced to Jesus and are reminded of the truth of how much God loves each and every one of them. 

Join us as we discuss following God's path and trusting His plan in times of transition and waiting, and how resting in His goodness is so important.

I know this episode will bring encouragement and hope to those who are walking in the valleys.

She exemplifies pure strength- a strength that is built upon the foundation of Christ and His might.  Join us for our conversation about the work of God through moments of struggle and His blessings that can come along with persevering- like a bakery and a miracle baby.

 The Stultz family lives out love, patience, hope and joy through all of life's highs and lows, and it's an honor to be able to call them friends and family.

I'm grateful for the deep conversations I get to have with Rachael Walker, and I'm so glad she joined us on the podcast today.  She abides with Jesus and stays connected to Him as the True Vine. So whenever she speaks, she pours out a flood of His truth and wisdom. 

Join us as we talk about the excitement of church planting, the importance of prayer each day, fighting for marriages and families in today's culture, and book recommendations.
