Jennie Allen - Fear Not Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

What are some things in your day to day life that can pull you toward fear or worry? There are so many reasons or moments in throughout the day that can open the door to those emotions.

“Of course you feel that way” is comforting and validating to every emotion we experience, including fear and worry. We all experience fear and with the world around us, the things we see or read or experience, it is no wonder we feel fearful. But if God is with us (even in our fear), we can experience peace, right?

In your fear, there are few questions that can help shift you towards peace, like:

What is my perspective of God?
Do I see God disappointed in my fear or comforting me?
Where am I looking for peace?

When God tells us not to be afraid, it’s because He wants to remind us that we need Him and that He is there for us. He does not scold us in our fear; He comforts us with truth.

In this conversation, Candace and Jennie talk about fear – moments in their lives when they walked through fear and worry, how media and social media attribute to our fear, and how fear shifts to peace when your perspective of God changes.

Jennie Allen - It’s Ok To Feel Sad Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

Can you remember the first time you really felt a deep sense of sadness? Looking back on your younger self, what would you say to them now?

Sadness isn’t an emotion we always care to admit out loud or bring people into. But the truth is the Bible is full of characters dealing with dark and heavy circumstances; we see all kinds of people – including Jesus – feeling AND expressing their fear, loneliness, and anxiety, while they faithfully pursued God’s heart.

In this vulnerable conversation, Candace and Jennie share their earliest memories related to sadness, how depression has impacted their lives, and the pressures we all face to smile through the low times - and just be happy.

If you are struggling with depression, or you know someone who is, listen in with grace + compassion. You are not alone, this is for you.

Jennie Allen - Slow To Anger Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

When we think of anger, we don’t often think of it as a God-given emotion … but it is. There’s nothing in scripture that says “Don’t get angry.” Instead, we are encouraged to be slow to anger.

But what does it mean to be slow to anger?

In this week’s conversation, Candace and Jennie are digging into anger: what it is, why it is better to be honest about it rather than hide it, strategies that have helped them slow down in their anger, and ways anger can be destructive.

Remember, we are to be “slow to anger” but also not to sin in our anger. Listen in to hear more!

Jennie Allen - Season Six - All about Emotional Health Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

Are you an emotional person? Feelings are meant to be felt. Emotions are healthy + vulnerability is powerful! They are God-given, so they are GOOD. But seeing all emotions are good can be challenging, especially feelings like sadness or anger. Do you see your emotions as good or bad?

In the first episode of this season, Candace + Jennie are laying the foundation for emotional health. They talk about how emotions connect us to God and others, why feeling hard or deep emotions points back to something that may be unaddressed beneath the surface, and the 3 C’s of emotional response: Control, Cope, Conceal.

As you listen in, ask yourself: what are the emotions I have felt this week? The first step to emotional health is being able to name them. Take some time to name your emotions today!

Reset your Family with Chris and Julie Bennett Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

For Chris + Julie Bennett, they left their home and family in Oklahoma to follow God’s leading to build a life in California. And that transition was immediately met with difficulties – from house contracts falling through to discovering that Julie had stage 3 breast cancer. They quickly learned that home is really about who you do life with.

Their journey has led them to write their book “Fighting For Family”, because family is for everyone. And family isn’t just those you are related to. It’s the community you choose or find.

What does your family look like?
Who have you found or chosen to be part of your family?

Listen in as Candace sits down with Chris + Julie to talk about seasons in life where the family was defined by people (related or not), what walking through hardships in unfamiliar places has taught them, and key tips that can help you overcome family barriers.
