In His Grip episodes

  • Playing Chess with the Devil - Part 1
    How do we build a legacy of faith and how do we ensure that we pass that on
    to our children, grandchildren and that our faith becomes a tradition
    passed on throughout our family line? Building a Spiritual Legacy is a
    study of the book of Psalms.

  • Singleness, Living Faithfully a Conversation with Jenilyn Swett
    Is singleness a gift or a curse? If you’re single because you never
    married, divorced or widowed - are you just in a waiting room, marking time
    until you meet the right person, or is singleness a place filled with
    opportunities you would not have if married? Is it wrong to pray for a
    spouse? How do you respond when well-meaning friends say hurtful things
    like, “I don’t understand why some guy hasn’t snatched up you – you’re so
    nice.” Sharon Betters and Jenilyn Swett, Director of Adult Ministries at
    Restoration Community Church (PCA) in St. Louis and author of Singleness,
    Living Faithfully, talk about the answers to these questions and much more
    in this Help & Hope podcast.

Diane and Sharon share a few tears as Diane steps back into that season of loss and grief and tells Amy’s story in a way that offers hope and counsel to those facing a similar tragedy.

  • I Forgive You a Conversation with Wendy Alsup
    Many people have experienced betrayal, someone violating your trust perhaps
    by lying, cheating, some kind of abuse, putting their own interests ahead
    of yours when they promised otherwise. Betrayal affects every part of our
    hearts, often in ways we don’t understand at first. Some hurts we carry
    with us to the day we die, they are so deep and seem impossible to resolve.
    In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Wendy Alsup shares the impact of
    betrayal from her own life, not only through an unwanted divorce but also
    in her church life. But Wendy doesn’t leave us in the much of betrayal.
    Instead, she speaks frankly about the power of forgiveness. Wendy’s view of
    forgiveness is not stereotypical. Pulling examples from her own life, Wendy
    talks about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and how
    understanding ambiguous loss can help us as we grieve the losses of
    betrayal. Whether you are still gasping for air as the impact of betrayal
    hits you hard or you are carrying the wounds of broken relationships from
    years ago, this conversation will help guide you through the minefields of
    grief and loss.

  • Help for Parenting Children with Disabilities a Conversation with Stephanie Hubach
    Stephanie Hubach is no stranger to the challenges of raising a child with
    special needs. As a researcher in disability ministry and the mother of a
    son with Down Syndrome. Stephanie has spoken to thousands of parents about
    the struggles and the blessings of children who might be seen by our
    culture as dispensable, but in God’s world, they are indispensable and we
    lose many gifts and blessings when we do not recognize that what appears
    weak to us is actually, the strong. Steph’s passion for families raising
    children with disabilities moved her to write, Parenting and Disabilities –
    Abiding in God’s Presence as a daily devotional designed to turn hearts
    toward Jesus.
    In this conversation, Sharon Betters and Steph speak as two friends, as
    they talk about the fact that a child with disabilities might be different
    but is not “less than”. Sharon and Steph discuss how hurtful comments from
    others might be a reflection of their own hearts and the need for each of
    us to learn more about the lives of those parenting children with
    disabilities. Listen in as Steph challenges us to consider how we respond
    when around a child with disabilities. Do we recognize them as deserving of
    the same love and care as a child without disabilities? Does your church
    enfold such families into the body of Christ? Steph shares how a biblical
    worldview of disabilities, that is, God’s view, will transform your heart.
