24 | Tracy Steel: The Battle Against Discontentment Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

One of the most elusive of all Christian virtues, except for perhaps humility is contentment. We want the house, the pretty thing, the size 2 jeans - and sometimes that isn't our reality. And discontentment seeps in as comparison and envy eat away at us. Today's wonderful guest, Tracy Steel is a mentor, author, and speaker who is passionate about helping women become who and what God wants them to be. She went to school for Interior Design and has now written a book on how God's design principles and Interior Design are one in the same. Lindsey Maestas and Tracy are discussing how difficult it can be (especially with social media) to not be consumed with what we don't have. We adopt worldly goals and are always left wanting. But God wants to fill that void in our hearts with Himself. On today's episode, Tracy gives tips on battling against discontentment with a Gospel-foundation. She reminds us of the assurances of God, why anxiety tends to rise in our hearts and why she views grief as a beautiful gift.

22 | Josh Bowers: The Importance of Face-to-Face Church in a Virtual World Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Pastor Josh Bowers has experienced a variety of churches and cities - but no matter where he is, he sees the great importance of community in the church.

In a season of Zoom hang-outs and viewing church online, Lenya Heitzig, Lindsey Maestas and Josh share an equal hope and that is that people will return to face-to-face church, even if it takes them out of their comfort zones.

We also take time to address people who have been hurt by the church and are struggling to go back due to past grievances. They graciously share our perspectives and why abandoning the church doesn't create level ground.

Our society has a tendency to "cancel" the people we disagree with. We run from the difficult relative or friendship when things get uncomfortable or hard and claim that ending those relationships is a form of self care.

On today's episode, Lindsey Maestas is discussing how the Gospel sheds a different light on these challenging relationships and how Jesus uses them for our good. She discusses grace, forgiveness, boundaries and balance with a faith-based perspective.

Pastor Daniel Fusco is just as kind, wise and loving in conversation as he is online. Lenya Heitzig and Lindsey Maestas talk to Daniel about the negative "click bait" in the media and why our sinful nature prefers the fear-mongering posts over wholesome, edifying truths.
