The WellCast

What does it look like to bring the good news of Jesus to each child, social worker and parent in the Valley’s foster care system and what does that mean on a practical level? While not everyone is called to take in a child, there are ways to help no matter your age or season of life. Join us as we talk to Cris and Brianna Venegas about their foster to adopt journey, how to support those in the process and how God continues to refine them in them day by day. 

Conflict isn’t something many of us run toward. When we think of the word conflict, most of the feelings that surface are negative. However, when done well, conflict can be an opportunity for change, growth and ultimately and an opportunity to share the Gospel with the world. But what does that look like? Join us as we talk all things conflict with re:generation Director, Dave Obwald, and learn how you can approach conflict in a way that honors both God and the other person.

Throughout scripture, we see God breaking into humanity to transform someone’s life; sometimes in big ways, other times it’s through the mundane. The thing is, there’s no moment too small for God to use and His desire is for us to invite Him into each one. This week we talk with Scott Carolan, Executive Pastor of Ministries at Sanger Bible Church, to discover what Kairos moments look like for the modern day believer and how to recognize when God is moving in our everyday lives.

In this week’s episode, we talk with Wendi Mooney, founder and Director of The Well Counseling Center, to dispel some common misbeliefs about mental health and faith and how even in the midst of our suffering, God is with us. 

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! From how to avoid ministry burn out to unsupportive family members, join Mike and Jordan as they answer questions from our listeners.

Each of us experience doubt at some point in our lives, but what happens when that doubt is directed at God? How do we walk with Christ while simultaneously wondering if the Bible is true, if God even exists? In today’s episode, we sit down with Ka’eo Yoshikawa and talk through some healthy and not so healthy ways to work through our doubt and that believe it or not, doubt can be good.

How do you live out the calling God’s placed on your life as a woman in the body of Christ? What does it look like to be submissive in a world that tells you your value is in your role? Join us this week as we talk to Melissa Danisi about what it looks like to live out biblical womanhood and how our true calling comes in pursuing Christ above all.

As humans, we naturally gravitate towards people who are like us. It feels safe, comfortable, and we feel good in our bubble. But what if our comfort was to the detriment of others? What if we shied away from sharing the good news of Jesus with someone because they looked different than us? In today’s episode, we sit down with Terra Lynch, author of “Mom, What Happened to Her?” as she shares her passion for inclusivity in the church and what it looks like to be a people that come alongside others regardless of their abilities.

Wherever you lead, you have probably been in a situation where you feel inadequate. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Executive Pastor Chris Schultz to talk about leading during times where you aren't sure you're enough. 

We often associate leadership with a title. But the truth is that each of us lead in some capacity whether we realize it or not. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Executive Pastor Chris Schultz to talk influence, leading where God has you now and what it looks like to spiritually, emotionally and physically lead ourselves well first though a deep, abiding, relationship with Christ so that we can best lead others from that overflow.
