Sandra Stanley, author, blogger, & wife to Andy Stanley (founder of Northpoint Ministries) chats about her latest project Breathing Room - the space between our current pace and our limit.

"I can look back to certain seasons of my life, chapters of my life, where I had created & maintained breathing room - and those are the seasons where I have the fewest regrets," Sandra shares.

Join us as we learn more about creating and maintaining space - especially during the hectic May days.

Connect with Sandra at sandrastanley.com where you can find more information about her latest 28-day devotional Breathing Room as well as her wildly popular 28-day devotional Comparison Trap.

Karen Wright Marsh - author, speaker & ministry leader - joins us to chat about age-old (literally) truths, trials and timeless messages that inform today,

Whatever you're going through in life, people throughout time have lived it too. A wayward kid? St. Augustine was just that. Depression & melancholy? Martin Luther struggled most of his life. Stressed by performance standards? St Benedict dealt with the same. Feeling alone - even abandoned by God? Mother Teresa's life has a few things to share - as do many other "brothers and sisters in faith" that held tight to Truth's life-line that is steadily available throughout the ages.

"You ask for the ancient paths, the well-trodden ones, and then you learn to walk in those and you find rest," Karen shares. She then encourages us as she does her students "through these stories, to look back and find mentors from the past."

We hope you will enjoy this delightful and inspiring carpool chat.

John Stonestreet carpool-diemed with us a few weeks ago, but we saved it for Christmas. As we celebrate the day that Hope arrived alive and well on the scene, John shares how Hope informs today and every day. Especially when things like technology, social media platforms, political impasses, strained relationships and so much more seem to be so powerfully on the scene.

"To take seriously the cultural moment without losing hope is to realize that this moment is part of a larger story. And that story ultimately is culminating in the fact that God will, in Christ, make all things new."

Enjoy & Merry Christmas!

THANK YOU for joining this and so many of our other conversations! We so appreciate traveling the road with you.

Candace Payne chats about defiant joy & her new book Laugh It UP

Author, speaker and Chewbacca Mom, Candace Payne (a viral sensation with over 170M FB views) chats with us about Joy and her new book Laugh It Up.

She shares how her family handled tough times. Dire situations and/or hardship (including homelessness) "were never a defining attitude that crushed our entire day - it was a small, brief roadblock or little speed-bump for us to get over."

Which led to her contemplating joy and the impact it has in our lives. "Joy is that the thing that satisfies; it lasts beyond whatever is happening around you" - something for which we all long.

Candace Payne, author of Laugh it Up, is a viral sensation whose video of trying on a Chewbacca Mask became the most-viewed Facebook Live video to date (170+ million views).

Carpool Diem with best-selling author Sara Hagerty chats about her new book (Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed) and that for which every heart longs: to be seen, known and understood.

"We often feel guilt over our desire to be seen, so we suppress it. But, we were made to be seen," Sara shares. "We have connection and friendships, but there's still a deep knowing that can only come from God."
