The inevitable truth is that life can be tough and riddled with challenge and adversity. Unfortunately, in the midst of these difficult times and seasons, many people stall out and grow discouraged, disappointed, and deflated due to their circumstances.

Building a Rhythm of Resilience: Learning How to Move Through Your Struggles with Seasoned Counselor, Renowned Speaker, and Well-Known Author, Donna Gibbs, Ep. 157 Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Resilience is all about movement! In other words, your direction is more important than your speed. Yes, many have identified resilience as ‘bouncing back’ but as our guest today so eloquently describes, resilience is a process and not just something that happens overnight or in the snap of a finger. It may take longer for some than it does for others, but we must remember, that as long as we are moving in the right direction, we are setting ourselves up for the opportunity to not just go through our pain, but actually grow through it. Resilience isn’t just about ‘bouncing back’, it’s about ‘bouncing forward.’ Joining us this week to explore and discuss this process of resilience is author, speaker, and licensed professional counselor, Donna Gibbs. Donna is co-owner of Summit Wellness Centers, PLLC, where she has helped hundreds of people bounce back from life’s challenges through her counseling practice as she is no stranger to adversity having also walked through darkness and loss in her own personal life. She is also the author of numerous books, and her blogs, devotions, and articles have frequently been featured on radio broadcasts and podcasts across America. Today, we will be unpacking Donna’s newest book, BOUNCE: A 60-Day Devotional to Jump-Start Your Resilience! Our prayer is that you would be reminded of the words of Philippians 1:6, “For I am confident that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” My friends, I know you may be walking through a dark and difficult season, but you are not alone, and I believe that God would love to take what you’re going through and produce something wonderful and beautiful in His timing out of it.

Prioritizing Soul Care: Maintaining Spiritual Rhythms & Stewarding Our Souls Well with Lead Pastor of Celebration Church and Best-Selling Author, Tim Timberlake, Ep. 156 Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

Let’s be honest, it’s hard to find time to unplug. Sure, the idea sounds nice, but when your must-do list is crazy long and self-care gets pushed off to tomorrow, tomorrow just seems like it never comes. We so quickly feel as if the world may end if our duties and responsibilities don’t get done, like we’ve let someone down, or that we’ve made someone disappointed. Everything seems like it should be a priority. So we keep running and pushing ourselves to the breaking point. But let me remind you of two of my favorite quotes that may help you if what I’ve just described is a little too close to home - “Self-care is not selfish” and “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes - including you.” My friends we have to prioritize soul care to maintain our spiritual rhythms and steward our souls well. Joining us today to dive into this very topic is one best-selling author and lead Pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, FL - Pastor Tim Timberlake. Pastor Tim is not only a man of great wisdom who is Spirit-led, but in my opinion he is one of the most effective and gifted communicators and encouragers I’ve had the opportunity of knowing. Our prayer in and through this conversation is that you would be reminded where true rest is ultimately found, and that you would be reminded just how loved and special you truly are. Remember, you were made to offer the spillover, not scraps. Let’s prioritize operating on a full-cup this year.

The Good-Hard Life: How to Find Bright Hope Hidden in Your Hurting with renowned speaker, best-selling author, and hope dealer, Katherine Wolf, Ep. 155 Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Sometimes the most valuable treasures are found in the darkest of times. In fact, it's often in the very heart of our deepest pain and struggle that God chooses to reveal his most precious gifts. Let best-selling author, renowned speaker, and hope dealer, Katherine Wolf, lead you in finding the hope God has for you in your most painful places.

In our lowest, most difficult moments, it's often impossible to see any good thing around us. We suffer, we struggle, we grow weary. We wonder, Is God at work in my life? Is he near me? Is there any point to my suffering and any hope for change?

Though it's easy for our overwhelming pain to cloud our view of reality, the truth is that, even though we can’t see it or feel it, God is at work in the darkness. Our Creator is in the business of bringing dead—and nearly dead—things to life.

Even now, no matter how fresh your wounds might be, he invites you to unearth his hidden treasures in your hurting, to reframe your darkness as a sacred space in which the light of hope can shine most brilliantly. So join us today for today’s conversation and allow Katherine to vulnerably share some of her own places of wounding and the life-changing insights she has found there. Our prayer is that this conversation would help you find grace for the heartbreak of unmet expectations; explore the surprising intersection of pain and purpose; wholeheartedly embrace the life you never imagined living with perseverance and joy; and recognize how your healing can be a part of the world's healing.

With her vibrant faith and unique perspective on life as a stroke survivor and person living with significant disabilities, Katherine will inspire, encourage, and strengthen tender and hurting hearts.

God IS IN Your Story: Remembering God’s Promises in the Midst of Life’s Processes with renowned singer, song writer, and lead vocalist of Big Daddy Weave, Mike Weaver, Ep. 151 Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

As many know, Christmas is a time of wonder and worship! However, the reality is that it’s not always easy to make the choice to rejoice when your in the midst of hardship and suffering. Often times the holidays remind us that grief cannot be wished away. You see, although grieving the loss of a loved one is a deep and difficult challenge at any time, the holiday season can magnify our sense of loss and sorrow. Seasonal events can be painful reminders of the absence of loved ones, but at the same time, we can also incorporate comforting rituals where we connect with family and friends, focusing on good memories and trying to recapture our sense of joy. Joining us today is a dear friend who understands the pain, process, and magnitude of grief. Our guest today is world renowned Christian singer, songwriter, and lead vocalist of the band, Big Daddy Weave, Mike Weaver! In and throughout today’s conversation, you’ll hear Mike’s very real, authentic, and vulnerable journey as he continues to process his grief following the loss of his brother, Jay. However, our prayer throughout this episode is that you would be reminded to hold fast and cling tight to God’s promises even in the midst of life’s processes. Life may be hard. It may be difficult. And it for sure can be painful. But praise God we get to rest in the truth of Luke 2:10-11, “Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” My friends, no matter what you may be going through during this Christmas season, you’re never alone as the true reason for the season is always in your midst.

Leading from Behind: Learning How to Effectively Steward God’s Resources This Holiday Season with CEO of the American Association of Christian Counselors, Ben Allison, Ep. 150 Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

Let’s be honest, although the holidays can be a very wonderful and special time of the year, there can also be several unwanted holiday guests being those of stress and anxiety. You may not invite them in, but they can inevitably show up, seemingly out of no where. Often they show up as a result of toxic or broken relationships, financial pressures, work deadlines, and so much more, and with this conflict, the holidays tend to increase our tension levels. However, one preventative factor one can implement this holiday season to manage and limit stress and anxiety would be finding balance and prioritizing the things that matter most in this life. Joining us today to discuss how we can learn how to effectively steward God’s resources well this holiday season is CEO of the American Association of Christian Counselors and a man who has invested a lot of time training and equipping others to find balance and joy in their health, wealth, and relationships, Ben Allison. Ben earned his MBA and Juris Doctorate from Liberty University and then was officially named CEO of the AACC in March 2020. He is passionate and dedicated to AACC’s mission of providing clinically excellent and distinctively Christian services & resources to all levels of caregivers and making the Church worldwide more caring. In and throughout today’s conversation our prayer is that you would be reminded of the things that matter most in this life and that you would steward a life of significance rather than seeking a life of success.

How to Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: Growing Through Seasons of Change with Renowned Speaker, Hope Dealer, & Harris Creek Baptist Church Young Adult’s Pastor, Grant Troutt, Ep. 149 Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Let’s be honest, change is hard. We hear it often, we say it often, and we end up believing it. Nevertheless, change is something we also desire and strive for. Whether the change involves abandoning a bad habit, developing a new skill, or making a big life change, we have all experienced the desire to make a change in our lives. However, change can be so difficult because we often shrink from anything unfamiliar or challenging. But as our guest reminds us of in our conversation today, growth and comfort do not go together. Joining us today to discuss how we can get comfortable being uncomfortable and grow through seasons of change and transition is renowned speaker, hope dealer, and Harris Creek Baptist Church Young Adult’s Pastor, Grant Troutt. Not only is Grant a man of incredible wisdom who shares some golden nuggets with us today, but he also has recent experience with enduring and clinging to the Lord in the midst of seasons of immense change. Our prayer is that through this conversation, you would feel educated, equipped, and encouraged in realizing that if you’re being guided into new territory or entering a different chapter or stage of life, whether chosen or not, that God is still in CONTROL, and if you allow Him to, He will use what’s changed and make it GOOD.
