Engaging in Politics with Gentleness with Michael Wear - Episode 855 Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

How are we this lucky to have a January full of our favorites?! Michael Wear is back on the pod to walk us through how to prep in prayer for this election year, being involved in politics without making it our identity, and telling us about the greatest kitchen tool ever made (does it have something to do with ravioli?...MAYBE). Michael's newest book, The Spirit of Our Politics is such a good read! So helpful. Be sure to grab a copy for yourself and another for your pastor, spiritual leader, or friend. This is a great book to help us walk into this year together.

Being an Apprentice of Jesus with John Mark Comer - Episode 854 Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

John Mark Comer, one of our worldwide favorite guests is back! His newest book, Practicing the Way, is SO GOOD (and like I said...STOUT). We talked all about purifying our motivations through Jesus, the stages of our spiritual journeys, and the social disruption of the digital age. Are we not so lucky that John Mark always makes time and space for us?! I'm so grateful for how he has shaped my life throughout the years. This is another truly incredible conversation to help us really kick off this year, as we plan, prepare, and move forward in 2024.

Show notes

Y'all. God has got a theme for us and we're right in the middle of it. Today, we're talking with my friend Mike Foster about our emotional health. Mike's latest book, Seven Primal Questions, is a framework to help you find emotional freedom and healing. I think this is SUCH a great conversation to really help us step into 2024 well and give us some ways that we can keep growing. Gosh, I'm so grateful for what Mike is teaching us today.

Participating in the Season God has for You with Banning Liebscher - Episode 851 Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

Today on the show I get to talk to my friend and one of my favorite pastors, Banning Liebscher. Banning has some important things to say about where we should go in 2024, particularly in our spiritual lives. And I am here.for.it! We talked about thankfulness putting us in a position of abundance, having hunger and expectancy for the Lord, and asking God what should this year be shaped like. LET'S GOOOO! I'm so thankful for Banning and the wisdom he brings to this conversation. Welcome to 2024 y'all!
