Join Kelly Streiff and I as we talk about navigating the painful seasons of life and also unpack some honest feelings about loss and grief. We are thankful for the people who have come alongside of us in the middle of our unwanted stories and hope that us talking about our experiences will give you hope. 

Join us today as my friend Pam Stults does a read aloud of my children’s book called The Island Adventures of Lili and Oliver: Glass Beach. This is a story of a brother and sister who are visiting the island of Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean. Find out more about my own childhood through this story and share it with a child who would enjoy an adventure!

Any pet lovers out there? So fun to have my local friend Jennifer Bleakley on the podcast, right as her book Pawverbs launches! We chat about our beloved pets and how they point us to hope, especially during lonely times. You will want to get Jen’s 2 books, Joey & Pawverbs, both with Tyndale House Publishers. Jen’s stories will make you laugh and cry! You can find Jen on Facebook, @Pawverbspets on Instagram and at JenniferBleakley.com

Join me for a raw conversation, recorded this Palm Sunday, about grief in the hard circumstances we are currently finding ourselves in. I chat with Tracy Steel and Ronne Rock about pain, how God is right there with us, creativity or the lack thereof, bread kneading as Corona therapy and so much more. We hope you will be encouraged to know you are not alone right now.  You can find Tracy at www.tracymsteel.com and Ronne at www.ronnerock.com as well as on IG & FB.

Join my friend Lucretia and I as we chat this week about the interesting times we are in. This episode covers so much! Community, re-learning ways to talk & think about race & ethnicity, restorative yoga, stillness, and when slowing down is chosen for us! 

Join Shannon Geurin and myself for Episode 05 as we talk all about immediate family when it comes to community. We also discuss different aspects of friendship and the not so helpful phrase "the more the merrier!" Shannon encourages women to boldly live out their God-given identity. You can find her on IG, on her blog www.shannongeurin.com, and on her FB page, Fiercely His and FB Group Fiercely His Woman. We hope you will come away encouraged by this podcast episode!

In Episode #04, my friend Richella mixes a beautiful vulnerability with deep theology in her own personal story, as shared in her recently released book Mythical Me: Finding Freedom From Constant Comparison (IVP.) Richella is one of the people who helped me understand more fully how the Trinity first modeled the concept of community. It's mind blowing! Come join our fun and informative conversation. Besides a speaker and author, Richella is the Vice Chair of Renovare, US. You can find her on IG, FB or www.richellajparham.com.

Come to the island of Bonaire! Join me and my guest Mark Lowell as we reminisce today all about growing up in Dutch school, being a third culture kid and swimming in the dark part of the Caribbean Sea. Did someone say hammerhead shark and barracuda? Relax! You're on island time now!

Join my kind, wise friend K.J. and I as we linger over deep conversation covering suffering, church hurt, grace, hope and coffee. We also share two very personal stories! Our hope is that you will feel seen today.
