Episode 156 - Erin Weidemann Feb 25, 2021

Erin Weidemann thought she made all the right decisions growing up. She was ambitious, driven, and seemingly healthy, chasing after the success that she believed would bring her a good life. But under the surface, she was far from okay. A devastating form of cancer had begun growing in Erin without presenting any outward symptoms, and by the time she found out, it seemed like it was too late. With her life seemingly on the verge of being cut short, Erin found herself reevaluating everything she thought she knew. Erin sits down with Davey to share how she found God, love, a family, and a purpose out of the painful season she walked through.

Episode 155 - Justin White Feb 18, 2021

It's easy for us to put pastors on a pedestal. We look to our spiritual leaders to be further along in their journeys than we are, but who does the pastor turn to with their own struggles? Too often, the answer is nobody, as was the case for Justin White. A prescription to treat a headache sent Justin down a slippery slope that ended in a full-blown heroin addiction. Small secrets led to bigger ones, and eventually Justin went from preaching behind a pulpit to living behind bars. Now free and sober, Justin sits down with Davey to share his story of addiction, recovery, and more.

Episode 154 - Mary and Dave Gothi Feb 11, 2021

Every married couple believes they’ll be together forever. But what happens when that doesn’t come true? All too often we ignore little problems until they become large ones, and too many marriages end prematurely as a result. That was the case for both Mary and Dave Gothi. When both their first marriages failed, it seemed like the death of both of their dreams. But God had plans for both of them that they could have never seen coming. Mary and Dave sit down with Davey to conclude our marriage series with their story of divorce and remarriage, and how they now help other married couples all around the world find the same wholeness that they have.

Episode 153 - Hilarie and Joe Barry Feb 04, 2021

MARRIAGE SERIES PART THREE

One of the most defining characteristics of marriage is the promise of faithfulness. There is something sacred that happens when we stand before God and promise to love one person only, until death do us part. But for far too many, that promise ends up broken. Too often, we’re left asking “what now?” That was Hilarie and Joe Barry’s story. Both the product of a previous failed marriage, everything came crashing down in their lives when Hilarie discovered that Joe had repeatedly been unfaithful. In this installment of our marriage series, Hilarie and Joe sit down with Davey to share what it looked like to walk through this season and how they’ve taken back their story, and their marriage, from the clutches of infidelity.

Bonus Episode - Aubrey Sampson Discusses Overcoming Sexual Abuse and Assault Feb 01, 2021

Sexual abuse and assault is a pain that is familiar to far too many. This extremely intimate wounding at the hands of another can leave scars and shame that last a lifetime. But they don’t have to. Healing and wholeness are available to us. That is the story of Nothing Is Wasted Ministries’ very own Aubrey Sampson. In this bonus episode for our Nothing Is Wasted Monthly Partners, Aubrey shares her painful story of sexual assault and abuse, and how God led her down a path of healing to not only overcome that pain but to use it as momentum to help other women who’ve gone through the same thing.

MARRIAGE SERIES PART TWO

As a marriage and family counselor, Nicole Zasowski spent her days helping others walk through difficult seasons in their home life. But after two consecutive miscarriages, Nicole and her husband received news from a doctor that no one wants to hear. It would be incredibly difficult for Nicole to have a child, and every attempt would come with a large risk of walking through the pain of miscarriage yet again. Thrown headlong into a valley of her own, Nicole found herself having to learn in her life what she already taught to others. Nicole sits down with Davey to share her story of how God met her in her trial, and how she’s continuing to help others find the same healing that she has.

MARRIAGE SERIES PART ONE

We’ve all been taught that marriage is a gift, and that is certainly true. A healthy, loving relationship between two people is one of the greatest joys many of us will experience in life. But as Leslie Vernick knows well, when two broken people try to make a life together without addressing their own brokenness, the results can be disastrous. A product of her parents’ destructive marriage, Leslie has made it her mission as a counselor and author to help others navigate their own relationships. To kick off our series on marriage, Leslie sits down with Davey to talk about what to do when we find ourselves or our loved ones in a destructive relationship and how to move forward.

Perhaps now more than ever, anxiety is an ever-present force in our day-to-day lives. Whether from some traumatic experience, a physiological condition, or just the weight of the broken world all around us, many of us live anxious lives every day with no end in sight. Josh Weidmann knows this all too well. Josh has faced his own lifelong battle with anxiety, and as a pastor and Biblical counselor, Josh works with people every day who struggle with it.

Our families are among the greatest gifts we can receive in life, but with that gift comes a risk. When pain strikes among these people who are so close to us, it hits us especially hard. Jessica Ronne knows this all too well. When her second child was born with severe special needs, it seemed like that was more trial than anyone should have to endure. Jessica’s journey, however, was just getting started. Only a few years later, Jessica’s husband lost his battle against a brain tumor, and Jessica found herself as a single mother to three children. Through this unbelievable pain, Jessica found herself closer to God than ever before. Jessica sits down with Davey to share her incredible story of struggle, loss, remarriage, blending families, and more.

Episode 148 - Pain to Purpose Certified Guides Jan 04, 2021

When we go through trials in our lives, it can be hard to know what to do next. We want to make it through this dark season, and to make our pain mean something, but we’re not sure how. That’s the heartbeat behind Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, and it’s part of why we created the Pain to Purpose Course. But we’ve found that walking through the course by yourself isn’t always the easiest, or the most helpful. We heal better in community, and this course is no exception. That’s why we’re launching our new Pain to Purpose Certified Guide program, to help match you with someone who knows what you’re going through and can help you through difficult seasons.

To celebrate the launch of this new program, Davey and Aubrey are joined by Ken Roberts and several of our Pain to Purpose Certified Guides to talk about what they’ve learned in their own Pain to Purpose journeys and how helpful it can be to have someone walk alongside you in yours.

Episode 147 - Lisa Bevere Dec 31, 2020

For a long time, the church has been deprived of half of the voices it could be learning from. While the Bible is full of amazing examples of female leaders, a handful of passages taken out of context have led to women being forced into the sidelines in too many churches. Lisa Bevere is one of the people on the front lines of changing that. Lisa began her career as a speaker and writer in a time when women in church leadership were even less accepted than they are now. Today, not only is Lisa continuing to speak and write, but she’s also made it her mission to mentor younger women in how to live out their own callings. Lisa sits down with Aubrey to talk about some of what she’s learned coming up in ministry and the idea of being a spiritual “godmother” to the next generation of women.

Episode 146 - Carissa Gaughan Dec 24, 2020

SURVIVING ABUSE SERIES PART FOUR

Like many parts of our lives, our beliefs about God are often formed at a young age. When we go through painful experiences before even reaching adulthood, it can shape the way we view God and others in ways we don’t even realize. This was Carissa Gaughan’s story. As a teenager, Carissa was sexually abused by multiple men, and the scars from that trauma caused her to lose trust in God and in other people. Devoid of the faith that characterized her earlier childhood, Carissa found herself continuing to make poor choices again and again, until finally everything changed. To finish our Surviving Abuse Series, Carissa sits down with Davey to share what she’s learned from her story and how she’s working to share that with others to keep them from making the same mistakes she did.

Teresa Glantz first experienced trauma at far too young an age. Born into a dysfunctional family, she spent most of her childhood living under the roof of an abusive father. Growing up fearing for her safety and even her life, Teresa walked through incredible loss and tragedy at a young age. Little did she know that years later, after she thought she had healed from her past trauma, a shocking discovery about her family would send her spiraling all over again. Through it all, Teresa met God in her pain and learned what true healing really looks like. Teresa sits down with Davey to share her story and how she’s helping other people who’ve walked down similar paths to her own.

SURVIVING ABUSE SERIES PART TWO

For those who have experienced any kind of abuse, it can be hard to find a way to move forward in life. There’s this trauma that’s too big to process, and it’s easy to get stuck in it. Georgia Shaffer has dedicated her life to helping people in these exact situations, but the ability to help others didn’t come easy. After walking though a cancer diagnosis with almost no chance to survive and then watching her marriage and career fall apart, Georgia is no stranger to pain herself. But Georgia met God in the midst of her pain, and now she wants to help others do the same. To continue our series on surviving abuse, Georgia sits down with Davey to talk about how the pain she’s gone through has prepared her to help walk others through their own valleys.

SURVIVING ABUSE SERIES PART ONE

Every child deserves to grow up innocent, free of some of the pains and worries of life that we all walk through later in life. But like too many, Becca Stevens was robbed of that chance when she experienced years of sexual abuse at the hands of a spiritual leader as a young child. With this one horrendous act, Becca’s life was forever altered. But where she could have easily grown up bitter towards the church, God, and others, she chose a different path. To kick off our series on surviving abuse, Becca sits down with Davey to share a bit of what she’s learned about forgiveness and moving forward in the face of unimaginable evil, and how she’s dedicated her life to helping other women do the same.

Episode 142 - Nic and Cassie Brown Nov 26, 2020

The first few months of 2020 left a mark on all of us that we never could have imagined. Now several months into the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our lives have been impacted in ways that we’ll feel for years to come. But at the beginning of March 2020, Nic and Cassie Brown hadn’t experienced that yet. What they thought was a minor sickness resulted in an extended hospital stay, a close call with death, and a miraculous story that defies explanation. Today, as COVID-19 cases are on the rise across the US and the effects of this disease are at the front of all of our minds, Nic and Cassie’s story is a vital reminder of how God is present even in the midst of this dark season. Nic and Cassie sit down with Davey to share their remarkable story of healing and what they’ve learned about God and the church through it all.

Episode 141 - Sheridan Voysey Nov 19, 2020

Most of us have dreams for our life. Maybe it’s a great marriage, a successful job, or a happy family. We have some vision in our heads of what’s supposed to happen, and we tell ourselves that God will definitely give us these things. But sometimes he doesn’t. So what then? That’s the question Sheridan Voysey asked over and over. Sheridan and his wife felt like it was time to start having children, but try as they might, they couldn’t make it happen. Years of trying through the best medical science available were met with failure after failure, and the couple was left asking the question, “what now?” Sheridan sits down with Davey to share a bit of what he’s learned about who God is when he doesn’t seem to come through like we expect.

Episode 140 - Serena Dyksen Nov 12, 2020

Abortion is not a topic that is often brought up in churches. We might mention it in broad strokes or when talking about politics, but too often pastors and whole churches are afraid to engage in it personally. But whether we face it or not, many women like Serena Dyksen are facing this issue quietly in one way or another. When Serena found herself pregnant as a teenager following a terrible sexual assault, abortion seemed like the only option. Little did she know the amount of repercussions, both psychological and physical, that she would carry with her for the rest of her life. Serena sits down with Davey to share a bit of her story and how she works to prevent others from making the same mistakes she did while also showing the love and grace of Christ to those who have.

Episode 139 - Dr. Anita Phillips pt. 2 Nov 09, 2020

If the last several months have taught us anything, it’s that the racial tensions we read about in our history textbooks aren’t limited to the pages of the past. The pain that our black brothers and sisters have felt at the hands of white America hasn’t gone away, and ignoring it isn’t going to make it any better. In the second part of this powerful conversation, Dr. Anita Phillips shares with Davey about how racism has never truly left our culture or our churches, and how the body of Christ can begin the long, hard process of moving towards true unity, justice, and reconciliation.

As a trauma therapist, a black woman, and the wife of a pastor, she is uniquely positioned to speak into the intersection of mental health, race, and faith. Through her own traumatic experiences and years of helping others, Anita has come to an understanding of the Kingdom of God, and how we can relate to it, that is vital to us in the season we find ourselves in right now. In this first part of the conversation, Anita shares the story of how she came to have a passion for mental health, some of the racial tensions she found lurking under the surface of the church, and more.

ADOPTION SERIES PART THREE

Sam Collier couldn’t be blamed for seeing his story as one of abandonment. Born to a 21-year-old single mother, Sam and his twin sister were given up for adoption. His birth parents never reached out, and he spent the entire time he was growing up never meeting either of his birth parents or the three other siblings he didn’t even know he had. But Sam looked past the abandonment to see what God was doing, and the faith to make that decision changed his life and the lives of his family. To close out our adoption series, Sam sits down with Davey to share his own greater story and how he’s made it his life’s mission to help others find theirs.

ADOPTION SERIES PART TWO

Sometimes the things God calls us to don’t make a lot of sense. We’re asked to give up our loaves and fishes, to step out of the boat, or to carry a cross, and there’s no telling what the outcome will be. Johanna and Brian Cannelongo had four biological children when they felt God calling them to not only adopt, but to adopt a child with special needs. Little did they know that their “yes” to this one opportunity would start them down a journey that no one would have either expected or asked for. Johanna and Brian sit down with Davey to share the unimaginable tragedy of their story, but also how that pain isn’t their story’s end.

ADOPTION SERIES PART ONE

Sara and Sam Ward were only just starting on their journey of adoption when they hit a wall that no one wants to experience. They went to the hospital for what they thought was a minor medical issue and left with a cancer diagnosis. Not only did this upend their entire lives, but they had to watch their dream of adoption seemingly die. Little did they know that this wasn’t the worst trial that they’d face on their journey. Years later, after finally adopting a little boy, the couple found themselves back in the hospital. They received another diagnosis no one wants to hear — their son had a terminal disease. To kick off our adoption series, Sara and Sam sit down with Davey to share their story of triumph, loss, and redemption, and a few things they’ve learned along the way.

Episode 133 - Joel Manby Oct 01, 2020

American culture often makes the mistake of thinking success lies in what we do. We think a thriving life is one in which we accomplish great things, earn the most money, and climb our way to the top of whatever ladder we think we’re on. Joel Manby learned the hard way that this picture of life isn’t quite accurate. Having been at the top of multiple huge companies, Joel was “doing” everything right. His life was on track according to all the wrong metrics, and when failures came for him, it became clear that his dream life wasn’t all there was. Joel sits down with Davey to share what he’s learned on the other side of professional and personal failures and how it made him realize what really matters.

If we’re honest, the church hasn’t always done a great job of elevating diverse voices. Women, people of color, and other marginalized groups often find themselves on the outskirts of our faith communities, with no one they can learn from who shares their life experiences. This is a problem that Ashlee Eiland knows well. Both as a black woman and as a pastor and author, Ashlee has felt this pain, and she wants to work to help mend it. In a continuation of our ongoing conversations about racial reconciliation, Ashlee sits down with Aubrey to talk about her experiences and the radical kindness that God has called each of us to display in this pivotal moment in history.

Episode 131 - Jason Sautel Sep 17, 2020

For most of us, life-altering tragedies are something we experience in rare instances. For a firefighter in a big city, they’re everyday occurrences. Working as a first responder in the Oakland Fire Department, Jason Sautel saw suffering, tragedy, and death constantly. Jason looked to his job to make something of his life and to redeem his troubled childhood, but without any hope to draw from, he eventually ran dry himself. The misery he saw on a daily basis was too much for Jason, and at his lowest moment, he planned to take his own life. Instead, Jason found Jesus and learned that there was hope even in the worst circumstances.

In the wake of the fires currently raging in California and other parts of the western US, it's perhaps clearer than ever just how much of a challenge jobs like Jason's are. We depend on people like Jason for our safety, but that comes at a tremendous cost to these brave men and women. Jason knows what it feels like to walk through literal fires to save a life, and what that can do to a person, but he also knows a source of hope that makes that can transform that pain into purpose. Jason sits down with Davey to share a bit of his story and how he’s made it his mission to help others see God in the midst of their trials.

We’ve probably all heard the sermons about not trusting our emotions. “We should preach to our feelings and not let them lead us,” they say. After all, the heart is deceitful above all things, right? While that may be true, it doesn’t mean we should ignore our emotions or treat them as excess baggage. That’s something that Elizabeth Laing Thompson knows very well. Elizabeth advocates for us to recognize that God made us as emotional beings, and our feelings are not some problem for us to push aside or fight against. Elizabeth sits down with Davey to share some of her story of how she’s come to grips with her own feelings and how we can learn to have a healthy relationship with our own emotions.

Failure is not something any of us want. It is consistently ranked as one of the most common fears, but it is also a fact of life. None of us make it through with a perfect record. That’s something that Os Hillman learned the hard way. After not one but two failed marriages and going from thriving in business to being broke, Os had been through failure and adversity on a tremendous scale. What Os learned is that God was in those trials, and that are lessons to be learned from all of our failures if we are willing to listen.

For some of us, the idea of racial trauma is entirely theoretical.

But we don’t all have that luxury, that unique privilege of experiencing racism in the third person. Sheila Wise Rowe knows this all too well. Ever since she was a child, racial trauma was a part of Sheila’s life. Now she’s made it her mission to help others heal from it.

Episode 123 - Cory and Michelle Joy Jul 30, 2020

ADDICTION SERIES PART FOUR

Cory and Michelle Joy knew their oldest son Caleb had some struggles. They’d caught him in smaller things like drinking and smoking weed, but it was all too easy to dismiss this as childish foolishness. Surely he’d grow up and move past these things, right? By the time they realized the extent of the grip that addiction had on Caleb’s life, it was too late. Despite their best efforts to support him, Caleb’s addiction would eventually claim his life. Still fresh in their grief, Cory and Michelle sit down with Davey to finish off the addiction series by discussing what they’ve learned by walking through this painful valley and how they’re doing everything possible to keep others from going down the same path Caleb did.

ADDICTION SERIES PART THREE

Even as a child, Allen Cothran could tell his experience with drugs wasn’t like everyone else’s when he was quite literally intoxicated with the feeling he got from simple cold medicine. As an adult, Allen found himself pulled into using pills to medicate away emotional pain, and the problem only grew from there. Stuck in the tension between his family and ministry and an uncontrollable addiction, it wasn’t until after a near-fatal overdose that Allen woke up to the struggle he was in. Allen sits down with Davey to share how he got clean and now helps others do the same in this continuation of our series on addiction.

Episode 120 - Seth Haines Jul 09, 2020

ADDICTION SERIES PART ONE

Seth Haines looked like he had it all together. As a lawyer and a writer, no one would have suspected that he had a problem. Sure he drank pretty regularly, but who doesn’t? It didn’t seem to be affecting his home life or his career. He’d never gotten a DUI, never been abusive, never seen alcohol hurt his work. On the outside, it looked like Seth had it all under control, but on the inside he knew he had a problem. Drinking had become his escape from the world, and before he knew it he couldn’t get by without that escape. To kick off our addiction series, Seth shares some of his story with Davey about how he realized he had a problem and what he’s learned about himself and God in coming clean.
