Stay ConnectedWelcome to Wonder…a podcast equipping women to live a wonder filled life with Chrissie Dunham and Lisa Clark!
Chrissie is a Women’s minister who shares His story, His Love and His Word by speaking, teaching, training and mentoring women of all ages.
Lisa is author of raising sinners and loves speaking to mom groups in Texas and beyond encouraging them as they raise their children to love God with all their hearts.
Did you know God pursues us?
From the beginning of time, God was and is wanting us to know Him and He goes to great lengths to make that happen.
Today on the podcast, Lisa's neighbor and friend, Tracey, shares how the King of all creation used professors, missionaries, and hard life struggles and lessons to reach her and her husband and bring them out of Mormonism. They were lost and Jesus found them. They experienced first-hand the hope and grace that only comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. The gospel changed everything for her family and their eternity.
Our conversation with Tracey reminded us of the power of the Holy Spirit, the influence of others in our lives, and how sweet and perfect forgiveness and grace are for the Believer.
Be encouraged by this episode of the podcast, and as you listen, ask yourself this question, "Who is God entrusting to put in my path today that needs the message of Jesus and the hope of the gospel?"
Yippeee! We're TEAM PUMPKIN over here at The Wonder Podcast!
We are giddy, y'all. "It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!"
In this episode of TWP, we share all things FALL! Decor, recipes, activities, feelings...we've got all the feelings.
What's your favorite season? It's Fall for us. Football, soups, gatherings, layers, cooler temps. It truly is the best.
Join us as we discuss all the things and hopefully spur you on to climb into the attic and drag down the pumpkins. It's never too early.
Trust us. ;)
When we launched TWP 3 1/2 years ago, we had NO podcasting experience and hardly listened to podcasts to be quite honest. We knew God had given us a special friendship, we knew we loved people and we knew He had given us a love for His word.
But once we got behind those mics, WE WERE HOOKED!
Here we are 3 1/2 years later still having the time of our lives. THANK YOU for joining us on this journey.
A few months ago, Christian Parenting Podcast Network approached us about joining their community and launching a new podcast in addition to TWP.
After much prayer and consideration, we are excited to share that RAISING SINNERS, A PODCAST WITH LISA AND CHRISSIE, will launch on September 2nd. That's right!
We'll be talking PARENTING every other Thursday and all things WONDER in between. So don't worry...TWP is still our first love!

Do you struggle with fear, worry, and anxiety? Even if you're not prone to worry, world events can take us there.
We're human. Fear and anxiety can creep in when we least expect it. So let's talk about it. Listen in and be encouraged by God's word that (always) reminds us that He's got us. He loves us. He is sovereign. He is able. He is there. And He knows our struggles.
Our faith is strengthened in times like these. We are on a journey to know God more. We learn things on the mountaintop, but we REALLY learn things in the valley.
If you're in the valley right now, be encouraged. Your God is near.
Janine Baird is our guest on the podcast this week. Her journey of suffering is one that points straight to Jesus. Have you ever wondered how true suffering might affect you?
I'm sure we've all wondered on occasion how we might react when the pressure turns up. Well, Janine has flourished. Her story is one not only of suffering but one that magnifies God's presence in her life when she needed Him most.
For 7 years she's struggled with multiple brain tumors, extreme pain, countless doctors appointments, treatments, and knowing there is really no end in sight. But God.
He has given her joy in her journey. He has given her opportunities to minister and share the gospel. She's worshipped in radiology rooms across Texas and prayed with sisters and brothers in waiting rooms struggling through the same tests and treatments as her.
And she's never asked, "why me?' but often asked, "why not me?"
Janine and her husband Kyle have 3 amazing sons, 2 beautiful daughters-in-law, and one precious newborn grandson.
Hi Friends!
This episode was such a fan favorite we decided to air it again! This originally aired on 5/20/21. (Episode 126)
A former Muslim, Safeeya grew up believing Christians were misguided and Jews were to be hated. Even as a child she had a longing in her heart to know more and find her true identity. It wasn't until she received an invitation to church that she heard the gospel and The Holy Scripture for the first time.
She was given a Bible and the rest, shall we say, is "His story." The Holy Spirit was at work, as Safeeya pursued the yearning in her heart to know the one true God. Safeeya met Jesus Christ and her life has never been the same. Safeeya's story is convicting on so many levels.
For us, it was the power of an invitation. We spend so much of our time going to church that we forget to invite someone. Anyone. Every week. This could change the world. Just an invitation. So listen in and be encouraged that our world is full of men and women longing for something more. That something more is Jesus.

It is always a pleasure to catch up with this lady!
Crystal Yates came into our lives a few years back during a conference in Florida at, of all places, Disney World! And she's been making us smile ever since.
Crystal is one of our favorite worship leaders. A wife, mom, and singer/songwriter, Crystal is so in love with Jesus, her joy for Him is simply not contained. We have followed her to other states to hear her sing and lead worship! Do we sound like groupies??? We are!!!
In this episode of The Friend Zone, Crystal recounts lessons learned through a very difficult time in her life. During a recent illness and lengthy hospital stay, Crystal realized that "fear got loud and God got quiet." But even though she wasn't hearing from Him, He was there. And He was changing her.
Crystal also shares about her wonderful, faithful grandmother. We always love grandmother stories! :) We know you will be encouraged by this episode of TWP. Thank you Crystal for joining us!

After we spoke with our friend Kay Wyma last month about her new book, "The Peace Project," we decided to spend an entire episode talking about mercy.
That's right. Mercy.
So much of that discussion left us wanting more, so here it is.
We discuss why showing mercy is so hard. Why???
The definition of mercy is "compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm." At its core, mercy is forgiveness. But it seems beyond love and forgiveness.
We hope you'll be encouraged by our discussion. We always want to talk about things that will encourage us but also spur us on.
Thank you for listening and for encouraging us! If you like what you hear, go to Apple Podcasts and give us a 5star review! That would make our day!
Terri Flannagan joined us today on TWP! Let us say she is pure D-lite with a capital D! We LOVE her!
We wanted to talk with Terri and find out how a mom of 3 can launch a consulting business, ministry, and extraordinary home life without breaking a sweat.
She stopped us several times in our tracks, explaining to us that she's not BUSY! And that's not her goal!
Her goal is a FULL LIFE with her husband Chuck and their 3 precious little ones.
God has given her vision, and she doesn't take that lightly. She's a doer. And she gets things done. But priorities keep her focused and intentional.
A few years ago, God placed on Terri's heart the need for a community of women to gather in the Charlotte, NC, area. And Ember was born.
Ember is a quarterly gathering for women to come together to encounter Jesus through worship, teaching, and prayer. We also talk about taking purposeful, intentional breaks from social media. Terri has lots to say about this, and it's so good.
Listen in and be encouraged no matter what stage of life you are in. Thanks for joining us, Terri!

For many summers now, we've taken a day trip to Terrell, Texas to experience "peach heaven" at Ham Orchards. Since 1979, nestled on the side of County Road 309, you can visit the orchard, come home with the juiciest, sweetest peaches you've ever tasted, and experience Texas hospitality at its finest. Our friends Sharien "Ham" Strange and Joy Weaver join us this week, recounting the heritage of the orchards, the changes throughout the years, and how God is using this summer passion for His purposes. Follow along with each summer at the Ham Orchards website for hours of operation and special events throughout. If you are in Texas, make this stop a tradition as we have! Did we mention BBQ is available, too? So come hungry and plan on staying a while. The rocking chairs await! What's your favorite thing to make with juicy, ripe peaches? COBBLER??? ICE CREAM??? Speaking of ice cream, you MUST get some peach ice cream while visiting Ham's. Strawberry is available, too, and Joy gets the swirl! :) Thanks for following along with TWP! Have you subscribed yet? If so, THANK YOU! Would you be willing to give us a 5-star review? Please do! We are so thankful for YOU!!!
