When Praise Becomes a Sacrifice: Finding God’s Goodness in the Hard Places with Wendy Speake! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You guys, Wendy Speake is back! Wendy first joined me way back on Episode 99 to talk about The 40-Day Feast , and almost 300 episodes later, we are sitting down again to talk about her newest book, A Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving: 30 Days of Rejoicing in God's Goodness . And this conversation challenged me in the best way. How often do we come to God with our list? God, help me. God, fix this. God, provide. God, change this situation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking God for
When You’re Not Able, He Is: Surrender, God-Opened Doors & Finding Freedom with Stephanie Parker! (opens the original)

Have you ever reached the point where you realized, “God, I cannot do this in my own strength”? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Stephanie Parker for a powerful conversation about surrender, grief, obedience and trusting God when life does not go the way we expected. Stephanie shares how her faith became personal during a difficult season when she committed to spending an hour a day in God’s Word for a year with a simple prayer: “God, change me.” That decision transformed her life.

Nadia was born with cerebral palsy, and as a teenager she wrestled deeply with the realiza

Read excerpt
What do you do when you’re desperately praying for God to move…but you can’t see Him doing anything? Friend, this episode is an incredible reminder that just because you can’t see God working doesn’t mean He isn’t already putting the pieces into place. Today I’m joined by Lauren Burns, author of Stolen: A True Story of Kidnapped, Rescued, and Redeemed . At just seven years old, Lauren thought she was spending an extra night with her father. Instead, he took her from Texas to Jordan without her m
Rescued for Something: When God Uses Ordinary People to Change a Life with Zahara McCoy! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the miracle you’ve been praying for doesn’t come by God removing the hardship—but by God sending someone to meet you right in the middle of it? Today’s conversation is one I won’t soon forget. I’m joined by Zahara McCoy, founder of Children of Grace, whose story began in a small village in Uganda. After losing her father to HIV at just seven years old, becoming a caregiver for her sick mother at nine, and then losing her mother at ten, Zahara suddenly found herself orphaned and facing a
