To start off the new season, Bruce, Shay, and Janie meet up with Jennifer Dukes Lee to talk about a few of her fabulous books. Years ago, Jennifer left her busy, city life in favor of a slower-paced life in the country. As her outside environment changed, God also showed her the importance of changing the rush inside of her mind and heart. He taught her how to live in rest, and how to ‘grow slow.’ She speaks from years’ experience of pondering with the Lord, and wants to share what He has taught her. If you think you need to achieve and speed through life, this podcast is for you! We also strongly recommend her new guided journal for anyone wanting to let their guard down with God.

In this podcast, Bruce, Shay, and Janie talk about the hot-button issue of deconstruction. Is all deconstructing good? Is all deconstructing bad? How can we evaluate our beliefs with God’s help? Tune in to hear about the benefits and pitfalls of questioning our beliefs.

Bruce, Shay, and Janie are thrilled to sit down with Duncan and Kate Smith, world changers for the Kingdom. Duncan and Kate are the Senior Leaders for Catch The Fire Raleigh and the Presidents of Catch The Fire World. On this podcast, they discuss how they first encountered the Father's Love and how this has transformed them. They offer many insights on how they kept asking God for more refinement, and we know their experiences will bless and guide you in how to do the same.

Bruce, Shay, and Janie have fun talking about different movies that remind them of God's love and truth. While no movie can perfectly encapsulate or represent all of God, some movies can surprise us and break through to our hearts. We'd love to hear some of your favorites too, so feel free to leave them in the comments.

This week, Bruce, Shay, and Janie talk with Amy Julia Becker about her latest book "To Be Made Well." In her book, she talks about the connection between the Body, Mind, and Spirit and dives into her own experience with healing. Healing from Jesus is often put into a box, but in looking at the story of the woman with the issue of bleeding from the Bible, Amy Julia sees a new side of healing.

For this podcast, Bruce, Shay, and Janie were blessed to talk to artist ChanMi Jung Pyles. ChanMi is a gifted artist who loves modern and abstract painting. When she felt God calling her to step out and sell her art, she was hesitant. This creative calling was different than the academic life she pursued as a young woman and the full-time ministry calling she followed for years. Yet, she felt God showing her the importance of art. We hope you, too, see the holiness and importance of creativity as you listen to her journey.

In this episode, Bruce, Shay, and Janie talk about evangelism. Evangelism can feel religious when we think we need to do it to prove we are Christian. What would evangelism look like if we approach it from a place of loving others, and wanting them to know of the great life God offers? We see all kinds of evangelism styles- varying from people yelling on corners to others not saying anything at all. How can we be bold in evangelizing, all while refusing to become prideful when people see God through us? We'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Feel free to email us at [email protected].

This week, Love Inside Out sits down with Kristen Thomas, a powerful advocate of foster care and heart healing. She grew up in the foster care system, and now wants others to know some key insights she has gleaned from her experiences, not only about foster care, but also about God's heart. We hope her story speaks to you and that you have a greater awareness and understanding of life because of her experiences. Thank you Kristen for being with us.
