Hope Over Hype

This conversation was SO much fun to have. Austin was one of my first college friends, and praise the Lord for His faithfulness in allowing us to continue our friendship in this season of our lives (either that or I just can't seem to get away from him--HA). It has been a honor to watch God work in his life. I am constantly amazed at God in Austin Miller! Thankful to have him in my corner AND as my actual neighbor (#DELTAPARKBOYZ). You will love hearing his craziness but also his HEART! 

WELCOME TO SEASON 4: THE BOYZ.

He's the guy with the vision behind Unlabeled and a member of a band called 9ty6ish?? He drives a mini van and loves Jesus with every fiber of his being. It is an honor to know him and be able to talk through and encourage one another in pursuit of God-given dreams! The first of the BOYZ bringing the HOPE! Check it out!

"We need more things that dig into the authentic side of who we are as humans and not in a way of us becoming the best version of ourselves in our heads but us becoming more like Christ."- Luke Beamer #COMEON

HAPPY 20TH EPISODE OF HOPE OVER HYPE! A conversation that will leave you feeling insanely HYPE about the HOPE. I am thankful for the power of God within John Wilson! The message and hope of the Gospel is infused within every word of this episode. You will LOVE listening to the JOY in his voice as we celebrate the faithfulness of God! I'm thankful for the summer of 2018 for a lot of reasons, and John Wilson is one of them!

She is the wildest but WISEST woman I know. The truth that she speaks just in this episode alone is incredible. Thankful for the way she challenges me to be real and to lean into the goodness and faithfulness of God. She has taught me so much about the importance of Scripture and the power of hospitality and discipleship. I could listen to this conversation a million times more--and you will want to do the same after you hear the joy in her voice!! 

Raley Holman is like a sister to me & one of the greatest cultivators of community I know. I have loved watching God work in and through her over the past several years. She is in a constant state of growth and seeking ways to glorify the Lord. The places we have served together have been some of the most impactful times in my life. She has encouraged & challenged me in so many ways but specifically over the past week she has shown me that God's glory and our good are one and the same and what a game changer that has been in my perspective! Check out our conversation--you will love it!

My 10th grade Public Speaking teacher turned friend turned neighbor. My time in her classroom was a launching pad for the rest of my life. She taught me how to communicate effectively and encouraged me to speak about what I was passionate about - JESUS. I have watched from the sidelines the ways God has moved in her life over the past 10 years, and it has been incredible. God is so FAITHFUL. I'm thankful for her heart, her pursuit of Jesus, and her proclamation of His goodness. You will LOVE hearing from Katie. Also, I'm pretty sure she is my ultimate soul sister---I felt deeply every single thing she shared. So thankful for her life and the way she lives it!

Isaac & Carol are the kind of people you want and NEED in your corner. They are like family to me and some of the hardest goodbyes when I leave home. They pursue hope in the most intentional and powerful ways, and they are SO much fun! You will love hearing the Gospel through each answer they give and the 5 minute clean up song will be a game changer for you:) Thankful for the way they live their lives! 

As a Mississippi native, the state itself holds a special place in my heart but the people even MORE. Laurie & Camille are two of my best friends. We have known each other since we were babies and we have celebrated a lot of life together. Although we now all live in 3 different towns, our close bond remains. They have pushed me to choose hope in every season of my life. I am SO thankful for them--if you don't know them, I am confident you will love them after hearing our conversation! WELCOME TO SEASON 3 (Mississippi Edition)!! 

MY PARENTS. This one is POWERFUL. I'm so thankful for God's desire for restoration. You will love hearing the authenticity of these two. This is a story of redemption, a story of letting go, a story of trust, a story of God's immeasurably more way coming to LIFE. God has and is doing a great and mighty work in the life of the Shappley Circus! A great listen for your holiday travels--MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.
