Episode 156 - Erin Weidemann Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Episode 151 - Leslie Vernick Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

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.

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.

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

Show notes

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.
