How do you hold onto hope when those you love don't share your faith? June Chapman, author of "Peace in the Waiting: When You Love People Who Don't Love God," joins us to unravel this complex and emotional topic. Drawing from her own experiences during the isolation of the pandemic, June shares her insights on connecting with non-believing friends and the transformative journey that led her to pen her soul-stirring book. As she walks us through her initial hesitation and divine inspiration to write, her story emerges as a beacon for anyone grappling with the ache of unanswered prayers for the salvation of loved ones.

In a world where control is often a coveted illusion, our conversation leans into the art of surrender. We dissect the spiritual struggles that arise when faced with the reality that we cannot will our loved ones into faith. June sheds light on the power of lament, taking a page from the Psalms to illustrate expressing sorrow while holding onto trust in God's unfailing love. With every word, we peel back the layers of doubt to reveal the resilience of a faith that withstands the silence, the waiting, and the uncertainty that can sometimes cloud our spiritual paths.

Wrapping up, this heartfelt episode offers more than just companionship in the wait—it extends practical lifelines for threading faith through the tapestry of everyday life. June and I talk about the profound impact of prayer and intercession, how worship can become an act of immediate faith, and the pitfalls of placing the outcome above the Almighty. The takeaways are rich and all designed to deepen your spiritual practice and sustain you through the seasons of waiting for those heart-deep interventions in the lives of the people we cherish.

Holding Hope for the Unbelieving: When Those We Love Aren't Saved w/ June Chapman

Have you ever felt the tug of yearning for deeper spiritual roots amidst the chaos of your day-to-day life? Andrew McLennan, once a sheep farmer and now a city pastor, joins us from Faith Boost - Ancient Secrets for the Modern World podcast to share his compelling transformation and how the timeless wisdom of the Bible can fuel our modern existence. Together, we examine how to thread God's Word throughout the intricacies of our busy lives, finding solace in faith over life's distractions.

Our conversation with Andrew takes us on a journey through the richness of Scripture, as we tackle complex issues like gender identity and the essence of male and female partnership, illuminated by the Creation narrative. We hear about the profound impact of Biblical teachings on individuals in remote areas, highlighting the power of faith in combatting isolation and mental health struggles. The talk is a potent mix of personal testimony and practical advice, emphasizing the importance of prayer, worship, and community in nurturing our spiritual walk, even when our calendars are bursting.

Wrapping up our time together, Andrew draws parallels between the guidance athletes receive and the mentorship we can find within the church. We discuss the vital threefold relationship dynamic - with mentors, peers, and new believers – and its role in personal growth and furthering God's kingdom. Emphasizing actionable steps like carving out specific times for Bible study, seeking accountability, and consistently attending church, we aim to empower you to fortify your faith life. It's a heartfelt exchange, full of encouragement, leaving you inspired to embrace a day filled with the joy of faith and the simple pleasure of Scripture.

Speaking Scripture to Combat Depression: Finding Joy in the Busyness of Life w/ Andrew McLennan

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.
