Humans With Faith

I'm honored to bring you the first of two episodes focused on the chaplaincy. What is a chaplain? What do they do, and why do so many feel a calling into the chaplaincy?

The wisdom you're about to hear is potentially life-changing. While some of us might avoid the difficulty and awkwardness of engaging with others when tragedy happens, my guests count it a privilege to serve others experiencing such pain.

In this episode, you'll hear statements like, 'It's a sacred honor to walk into someone's tragedy.' 'It's ok to say, 'I don't know what to say.'' And, we'll all learn what it means to be present in someone else's pain.

Today's guests are Betsy Vanderpool, Roxanne Alby, Marc Saget, and Brenda Hawkins.

You can learn more about the work done by my guests and explore how you can get involved at https://www.slec.us/.

Change, it's a scary word.

Provoking anxiety or excitement, the thought of change depends on the circumstance. One thing's for sure, if we're pursuing God's best in our lives, change is a constant.

In the second episode of this two-part conversation with Al Kerkstra, we identify some steps of change that help us get from where we are to where we desire to be.

'God, what do you think about my ______________ right now?' My life, my relationships, my situation, you name it.

That's just one more powerful prayer suggestion from today's guest, Diana Mescher.

'God, can you help me care about people I would normally ignore?'

That's a frequent prayer of today's guest Diana Mescher. I'm thrilled to introduce many of you to Diana, a brilliant, compassionate leader whose love for Jesus is simply contagious.

Diana's curiosity about people's stories often creates God moments; conversations that illuminate why and how God may be at work in the midst of our situations.

Enjoy this, the first of two episodes with Diana Mescher.

This episode is the final conversation on 'Lessons From Half Dome.'

I want to thank my guests, Robina Bennion, Erica Butler, and Brenda and Brandon Hawkins.

Get ready for them to inspire you that some of our best discoveries are on the other side of our fear.

This episode is the second of three conversations where I sit down with four guests, each who recently hiked Half Dome. In this discussion, we listen to Robina Bennion's story.

Hiking Half Dome is spectacular. I highly recommend it. What you're about to hear is not the norm.

Here's a link to the video Brenda mentions from her hike in 2018. Oh, those infamous cables.

Here's a link to the song, 'Fear Is A Liar.'

Enjoy episode two of 'Lessons From Half Dome.'

What happens when thirty people with diverse backgrounds, different perspectives, and varying degrees of physical ability all embark on a twenty-mile round-trip hike to the summit of Half Dome in Yosemite?

A lot happens. More than one might expect.

In these three episodes, I sit down with four of the thirty to hear their stories, learnings, and literally, life-threatening experiences.

Enjoy episode one.

Season Four of Humans With Faith begins next week. Here's a preview of some of what to expect.

I'm humbled that many of you listen to, share, and put into action the conversations I'm able to have with my guests.

Here's to another great season of life-giving, encouraging episodes. Everyone has a story. Humans With Faith is your go-to place to hear from people just like you who's faith in Christ influences their everyday life.

This is the second of two episodes with my guest, Steve McNitt as we discuss the process of writing.

It's no surprise that a majority of people have said they'd like to write a book someday. What was a bit surprising was how many of you listened through and enjoyed our first episode on the process of writing.

If you're curious about some of what it takes to make a book a reality, Steve and I share some of our struggles with the process and a little of what we've learned.

At a minimum, maybe this episode is something you'll find entertaining. Hopefully, you'll find some encouragement, even some helpful advice.
