How many people do you know who seem to have it all together? Like life just fell into place? Well, my friend and podcast frequenter, Amber Ayers, could seem to be one of those people. But if you only knew the reality of someone's background and upbringing, an entirely different picture gets painted. Tune in to hear part one of Amber's story and how God has used trauma and disfunction to mold her and shaper her into the amazing person she is.

We are continuing the conversation around racial reconciliation and unity amongst our brothers and sisters. Ray and Carrie share their experiences as a bi-racial couple, and how they have learned from others as well as encouraged healthy growth in those around them. They are kind, and they are wise.

Join me in reflecting, remembering, and even learning about what Holy Week is and what each day means.

If you don't have a home church, come with me this week, Easter weekend.

Part 2 of my conversation with Karen Anderson. 1 in 3 women have had an abortion. That is a startling statistic. That means that we ALL know someone, we just don't know that we know. Karen shares how she found hope and healing after ending an unwanted pregnancy. If you need help, please reach out. There is an entire community that is available to walk alongside you.

A very important conversation with my friend Karen Anderson. As a freshman in college, Karen was faced with an unplanned pregnancy and the incredibly difficult decision regarding what to do...a decision that would impact Karen for the rest of her life. Karen boldly and transparently shares the reality of her story, the pressure she faced, the shame she carried, and the redemption she received through Jesus.

It's been one year since the whole world seemed to shut down. And since then we have seen substance abuse, domestic abuse, suicide rates, depression, and anxiety all on the rise. My friend and licensed professional counselor, Annie Hoober, shares amazing wisdom as we talk through how to face the unknown and take captive our thoughts and emotions. It's a good one...free therapy. We can all use it.

You can contact Annie Hoober at The Dennis Counseling Group

Emily is only 18 years old and just recently published a book...it's a collection of life lessons as well as an interactive study. I'm constantly amazed by the next generation: their passion, their excitement, their commitment. Take a listen...I think we all will learn a thing or two!

Consistent. Thats how I would describe the faith of my friend, Andrea. In our conversation, she shares her story of HOW her faith remains strong even through seasons of weakness. You will be inspired by her ability to see Jesus in all things and to continue to press forward toward her eternal hope. You will also learn about her new business, Yes and Amen Design. Go check it out and order for your besties, your sisters, your family.

It's hard to understand why some people face more trials and suffering than others. It's even harder to accept that there are those who seem to constantly find joy regardless of their circumstance. My friend, Brandice Rosander, is one of these people. You will love our conversation around balancing life (is that really a thing?), facing unbelievable challenges, experiencing loss, and still finding joy in all things. She's the real deal...finding grace in the grit of life.

I have my valentine, Andy, with me this week, and we are answering all of your relationship questions! Enjoy our conversation around what we've learned, what we are still learning, and how we navigate the same relationship tension that we all experience. It's a fun one!
