*Trigger warning: This episode does include conversations about infant loss.

It’s no secret we live more distracted lives than ever in 2023, and we have a calling as believers, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and co-workers to ditch the distractions and engage with God and the people around us.

Katie Westenberg is the author of I Choose Brave and, most recently, And Then She Remembered: How to Give God Your Full Attention in a Distracted World. Katie and Kaitlin talk about her latest book and why it matters that we remember God’s faithfulness and focus on Him even when a million other things are fighting for our attention.

They also talk briefly about Katie’s first book and how she walked through losing a child. The grief has been great, but so has God, and that’s what helps her remember Him and redirect her attention to His goodness.

About Katie

Katie is a follower of Christ, a wife, and a mom growing faithfully alongside her four homeschooled children. She believes boldly in the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ. As an author and speaker, she teaches women to grow a robust theology of who God is, become students of Scripture, and learn to live that truth out with courage.

In one of Kaitlin’s favorite solo episodes to date, she talks about the mentality of waiting for the other shoe to drop and how we can fight it as believers.

This conversation brings the fire. It reminds you what it means to passionately serve God and His Kingdom! 

Lyndsie doesn’t hold back in calling Christians up to the challenge of sharing The Gospel and living in a way that produces fruit and evidence of a life committed to Jesus. She shares about why we have to stop tiptoeing into hell to save the lost and gives us practical ways to run instead.

Her top three tips for practical, everyday evangelism:

As Lyndsie and her family prepare to move to Uganda as missionaries, you can keep up with their journey and/or support them financially if you feel led! No matter what, please cover them in prayer.

Kaitlin covers a wide array of comebacks with author and speaker Amy Lively.

They discuss her latest book, Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope: How to Find Faith for Hard Times in Peter 1, which features four devastating yet encouraging stories of women who held onto hope when they could have given up. 

Amy and Kaitlin talk about how hearing the stories of those around us keeps us going when times get tough – whether we experience one big blow or a thousand little cuts.

 If you have walked through a cancer diagnosis, divorce, a life-shattering accident, or a season of difficult circumstances (that’s every single person, by the way!), then this episode will fill your cup with hope in the One Who holds it all together.

About Amy:

Amy Lively is a writer and speaker with a degree in Christian Ministry. Her previous work includes How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird. She has been featured on “Focus on the Family,” “FamilyLife Today,” and many other programs. Amy’s passion is teaching God’s Word as a “how-to” manual for loving him and loving others. She splits her time

between her homes in Colorado and Florida.

When Kaitlin worked as a news reporter, she met Taylor Hulsey after her son was in a horrific car accident with her mother that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Taylor and her husband were also caring for their newborn son at the time of the life-altering wreck.

In this episode, Taylor shares her story of coming back from living out a mother’s worst nightmare and what life looks like for her family now. She credits God and her faith in Him with getting her through the worst days of her life and continuing to fuel her now when it’s hard to keep going.

You’ll finish this episode encouraged to use whatever life throws your way to spread The Gospel and point to the hope of Jesus.

Kaitlin goes deep with Dr. Nathan Lewis, a husband, father, Jesus-follower and Chiropractor in Cullman, AL. He started his own practice that has become the fastest growing chiropractic office in the country. 

While most of his life has looked picture-perfect on the outside, he has battled a difficult home-life, the recent loss of his mother, and mental health issues that led to a mental breakdown that eventually brought him back to life. 

After hitting what felt like rock bottom mentally, physically, and spiritually, Dr. Lewis went to a residential trauma treatment center for 60 days. Since returning, he feels he can breathe again and can show up as a father, husband, doctor, and business owner in ways he couldn’t prior to treatment.

This episode sheds light on misconceptions about mental health, specifically in men, and unlocks areas of work we can all do to become healthier versions of ourselves.

About Dr. Lewis:

Dr. Lewis attended Mississippi State University, where he earned his degree in kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Physiology. He ran track and cross country while at Mississippi State where he met his wife, Kelly, who also ran at State. From Starkville, MS, he distanced to Atlanta, GA, where he attended Life University, the largest chiropractic school in the world, and earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.

Dr. Lewis concluded his academic tenure in chiropractic school with multiple honors including top 5 in his class and was inducted into the International Chiropractic Honor Society, a distinction of academic excellence.

He became a chiropractor because it changed his life, and he decided he wanted to change other’s lives. Dr. Lewis is proud to return to his hometown of Cullman, AL and serve people in their health and wellness journey. His desire is to serve as a catalyst in a paradigm shift that recognizes the human body’s innate ability to heal and be well through a properly functioning nervous system and wellness lifestyle that facilitates a perfect expression of life and health.

In his spare time, Dr. Lewis enjoys playing with his two children Lyndsley and Lincoln, running, working out, gardening, and attending his local church. 

Connect with Dr. Lewis and check out his practice here.
