  • More than Surviving the Abuse of a Father a Conversation with Jennifer Michelle Greenberg
    A child suffers multiple forms of abuse from her father from the time of
    being a little girl to a young woman. Is there any hope for not just
    surviving but thriving? Jennifer Greenberg proclaims there is. Jennifer
    knows the isolation and grief of abuse at the hands of her church-going
    father. In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Jenn doesn’t flinch in
    talking through how she wanted to kill herself when she was 15 because her
    father’s abuse intensified during her adolescence. She takes us along on
    her journey toward healing and purpose, addressing such questions as… Why
    doesn’t an abuse victim speak up sooner? What are the residual issues of
    abuse into adulthood? What about forgiveness? Not only is Jenn a wife,
    mother, and composer, she authored Not Forsaken, A Life After Abuse and
    offers other abuse victims help through many resources on her website.

  • When Drugs Steal Your Life a Conversation with Shelley Tribbitt
    Is it possible to break free from drugs after a lifetime of addiction?
    Shelley Tribbitt says yes. After using drugs for over thirty years, Shelley
    broke free from the drugs, but then had to face the obstacle of the
    collateral damage that she had done to her family and friends. In this
    poignant interview, Shelley describes the devastation drug use brought on
    her family, including the loss of the custody of her children. Her
    daughter, Bay, joins the conversation, and describes how she reconciled
    with her mother, and why she never gave in to the temptation of drug use,
    even though they were readily available.
    Drug use in our culture is an epidemic. It isn’t just teenagers who fall
    prey to this dangerous life choice. Shelley’s story reminds us that drugs
    know no age limits. We are also able to see that reconciliation with
    estranged family members is possible, though the pathway to reconciliation
    will be painful and often long.

  • How Does God Meet Us In Suffering? a Conversation with Vaneetha Rendall Risner
    Twenty-one surgeries by age thirteen. Years in the hospital. Verbal and
    physical bullying from schoolmates. Multiple miscarriages as a young wife.
    The death of a child. A debilitating progressive disease. Riveting pain.
    Abandonment. Unwanted divorce. How can one woman survive let alone thrive
    when she experiences such crashing waves of pain? In this conversation with
    Sharon Betters, Vaneetha Rendall Risner, author of The Scars that Have
    Shaped Me; How God meets us in Suffering, has experienced all these life
    crises and more. Rather than despair and giving up when wave after wave of
    loss hits, Vaneetha encourages us to allow suffering to draw us into the
    heart of God.

  • Retiring Well a Conversation with Dr. John Dunlop
    Preparation for retirement requires more than just financial planning. For
    most people, and especially for Christians, it comes with a host of other
    considerations—when to retire, where to live, and how to spend one’s time.
    Many find themselves asking, Is there a right way to retire?
    And what about the cultural perspective, “I’ve worked hard all my life,
    this time it’s all about me!” Is it ok to pursue pleasure that was
    unattainable before retirement? And what if unexpected changes in our
    health make it impossible to do what we want. How do we deal with
    disappointment and discontentment? In this conversation with Sharon
    Betters, Dr. John Dunlop addresses these questions and shares practical
    strategies for Christians as they approach their retirement years. John
    encourages listeners to start thinking about retirement while they are
    young and shares suggestions for determining how to intentionally live with
    purpose in this last season of life.

  • Intentional Grieving a Conversation with Sherry Kendrick
    Sherry and Mike Kendrick heard the word “terminal” when Mike was diagnosed
    with an aggressive cancer. Mike prayed he would live long enough to perform
    his son’s wedding ceremony. God granted him that desire and five years
    later, after his son’s wedding, Mike stepped from earth into heaven.
    In this poignant conversation with Sharon Betters, a little over a year
    after the death of her beloved pastor husband, Sherry shares how Mike
    helped prepare her to be intentional in life after his absence. Sherry took
    practical steps to allow her room to lean into the pain but also to open
    her heart and hands to the treasures God gives through others. Her story
    will not only encourage widows but anyone who struggles with this foreign
    land of grief.
    Before Mike’s death, Sherry and her husband talked with us about living
    with hope and terminal cancer in Living with Hope and Terminal Cancer.
