Today we are going to be talking about “faith and work since the beginning of time."  Our guest today, Jordan Raynor, author of the upcoming children’s book “The Creator in You”, will be giving us a fresh perspective on the creation account from the Bible's first book, Genesis, that helps readers see that "the sixth day" wasn't the end of creation--it was "just the beginning." Jordan has written several books that give adults insight into the meaning of the purpose and value of work.  In fact, it was Jordan’s book called, "Master of One," that I picked up during the pandemic that has really encouraged my decision to step out of corporate America and into doing full time ministry at Coffee and Bible Time beginning April 1st.  His book taught me to imagine how different my life would be if I spent my time doing the very thing that brings me the greatest joy.

When life's tremors threaten to disrupt our faith, it's the Unshakeable Moxie within us that holds fast. Embrace this steadfast spirit in our latest conversation with Lina AbuJamra, a physician, author, and beacon of hope, as she illustrates the transformative power of trials turned into triumphs. We explore the intricate landscape of spiritual resilience, discussing everything from church hurt to the very personal battle with spiritual legalism. Lina's remarkable journey brings an authentic voice to the table, sharing how our darkest nights can yield the most profound grace.

Navigating through the ruins of a once-thriving church community can lead one to question the very foundation of their faith. Yet, within this episode, we uncover how the collapse of institutional structures paves the way for a deeper, more personal reconstruction of belief. As we peek behind the curtain of church leadership and grapple with cultural shifts, this candid exploration reveals the complexities of authority, identity, and spirituality in today's world. The heartfelt dialogue invites you on a voyage through disillusionment to a place of renewal, with Lina guiding us to find solace in wrestling with God and emerging stronger.

Wrestling with God: What to do With Church Hurt, Deconstruction, and Spiritual Plateaus w/ Lina AbuJamra

Have you ever felt the weight of cravings so intense that they seem to dictate every decision you make? Angie Haskell, acclaimed author of "Sugar Coated: Finding Sweet Release from Cravings that Control Us," graces our podcast with her compelling story of triumph over the shackles of desire. She doesn't just share her narrative; she tears down the walls of shame and depression that often accompany the silent battles many Christian women face, from succumbing to food binges to the allure of retail therapy. Angie's southern wit and wisdom shine as she discusses her transformative journey of healing through faith, and how this path to recovery is laced with the power of community and the love of Christ.

Strap in for a heart-to-heart on the raw struggles that come with temptation, the distorted beauty standards imposed by society, and the complex impact of familial influences on our self-image. Angie and I traverse the importance of 'sister circles' and how these networks of support offer more than just a shoulder to cry on—they provide a space for growth, accountability, and genuine accountability. Whether it's through Christian counseling, pastoral care, or the simple yet profound act of prayer, this episode is a treasure trove of insight for anyone seeking to navigate the treacherous waters of personal struggles, all while anchored firmly in faith and fellowship.

Strengthening Your Marriage: Proven Strategies for Relationship Success w/ Dave and Ann Wilson

Have you ever felt like you're in a never-ending battle with comparison and self-doubt? Jenn Schultz, the compassionate author behind "She's Not Your Enemy," joins us to share her journey from a people-pleaser trapped in the pursuit of perfection to someone who's found her true worth through faith. Together, we navigate the treacherous undercurrents of insecurity, jealousy, and loneliness - all while learning to anchor ourselves in the truth of who we are in God's eyes.

Scripture offers us a sanctuary, a place where we can silence the noise of comparison and hear the voice of our truest ally. In our deep and vulnerable conversation, Jenn and I discuss the strength we can draw from passages like Psalm 103 and Ephesians 1, using them as a compass to guide our way back to our true identity. We also examine the Armor of God, not as a suit for battle against our peers, but as a reminder to stand firm against the real challenges of life, enveloping ourselves in compassion and understanding for those around us.

Ending on a note of hope and joy, we consider the power of faith to overcome rejection and conflict, finding fulfillment in the communities we build and the roles we play within God's Kingdom.
