This week we are joined by Andrea Crum on TWP! After 25 years in Corporate America and starting a women's leadership business, where she launched the TV Show GYRL Talk, Andrea Crum has answered the call to full-time ministry. God has called her to build Genuine Women Ministries to encourage and equip Christian women to speak Biblical truth into our culture today. She's passionate about seeing our culture restored to resemble Jesus Christ in every facet of our society. As a graduate of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, Andrea has a unique perspective on how each of us can build God's Kingdom in our workplaces, communities, and homes.

In this episode of The Wonder Podcast's THE FRIEND ZONE our friend Teresa Kreul joins us for all things FRIENDS!!!
Have you ever been the new girl (or guy)? It's not easy.
Teresa has been the new girl in town a lot through the years and she has navigated it so well! She has friends in high places, low places, and everywhere in between! :)
Friendship can be tricky at times and community is hard. We chat about all the ins and outs of friendship in this episode and discover that we are all just looking for an invitation.
Who can you invite to the table today? Enjoy this edition of The Friend Zone!!
Kay Wyma joins us today on the podcast. She is a friend to our show and we gain so much insight and encouragement from her EVERY time she is on. Her new book is out, The Peace Project. What would happen if we practiced thankfulness, kindness and mercy each day for 30 days? That's what Kay and friends did ...and The Peace Project was born. The results were undeniable. 30 days. Research has shown the benefits of thankfulness, kindness and mercy (compassion, forgiveness and more) individually, but magic occurs when they are practiced together. 30 days. Peace - the Shalom kind of peace that means wholeness, completeness, the bringing together of opposites - shows up and stays for a while. Want peace? Come and try. What have you got to lose?

"The Always God - He Hasn't Changed and You Are Not Forgotten" by Jarrett Stephens, senior pastor, Champion Forest Baptist Church.
We are so excited to share our conversation with Jarrett Stephens on this episode of the podcast as he tells us all about his new book, THE ALWAYS GOD. Jarrett isn't new to TWP; he's been on previously discussing his book THE MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING. This was a favorite of ours! Have you read it? Hopefully, Jarrett has more projects in the pipeline because he's a fan favorite!
In THE ALWAYS GOD, Jarrett takes a deep dive into 4 areas, 1) God is always here, 2) God is always working, 3) God is always faithful, and 4) God does his best work in times of waiting. Can we get an amen???
Listen in and hear more about the inspiration behind Jarrett's newest work and his heart for Christians finding their confidence in God and God alone.
You can pre-order the book now! It releases worldwide ☺️ on June 1st!
Our guest today on the podcast is Safeeya. 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.

Our guest this week on The Wonder Podcast is the always amazing Abby Turner! (@atabletopaffair)
She's not new to our podcast, we LOVE her! And she's got big, big news y'all! Her book THE LIVING TABLE is here and available for you to order!!! It's full of recipes, devotionals, party ideas, hosting ideas, all the things!!!
We are so excited for her. She has used her talents and gifted them right back to the Lord.
Do you ever feel inadequate in the hospitality department? House too small? Kitchen too old? No creativity?
Well, dive into Abby's new book and you'll be invigorated to gather your people and make some memories. She talks about keeping it simple and that seems to be the main thing that keeps us from hosting and gathering...we think we have to put on a black tie ball. We don't.
Her words, "dishes in the sink make us more approachable." Amen. and Amen.
Here's to entertaining with some dishes in the sink and a load of laundry on the bed! We can do this!!!
Congratulations @atabletopaffair!!! You are pure joy! And your joy is contagious!
In this episode of The Wonder Podcast, Chrissie and Lisa wrap up their study of 1 Peter!
This letter is full of encouragement and chapter 5 continues the theme. Peter identifies with church leaders in their suffering and responsibility. He reminds them of their purpose and exhorts them to carry on knowing that the Crown of Glory awaits!
Finally, this amazing letter ends with a reminder to "..cast our cares on Him because He cares for us.." Do you have cares you need to cast on Jesus today? We do. Let's cast them on Him. He cares about every little detail in our lives.
Thank you for joining us on our journey through 1 Peter!

On this episode of THE FRIEND ZONE, we invited some friends over to join us around the table to have a lively discussion about parenting our adult children!
Linda Paulk, a seasoned guest on The Wonder Podcast, and Candice Myers, mom of 4 who is dabbing her toes in both worlds with 2 young adults and 2 still at home, are our guests this week.
Both are so full of wisdom and encouragement, plus lots of practical advice for this stage of life. Where is the rule book, people??? If there is one we haven't read it!!!
Nevertheless we have fun discussing our hits and misses as we navigate our new role in our children's lives as they move into adulthood. It's tricky, but so rewarding.
We also tackle giving unsolicited advice and setting boundaries! Listen in to our round table discussion and join the fun!
While suffering like the early church isn't something we will ever experience in our lifetime, many around the world have and will.
1 Peter 4 makes it clear, "...rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed you may also be glad with exceeding joy." Our suffering sanctifies us, and draws us closer to our Savior.
This chapter of 1 Peter also brought us to the 3rd and final time the word CHRISTIAN is used in the Bible. We are enjoying our time in 1 Peter. Only one more chapter to go then we'll tackle 2 Peter!
Are you following along? We hope so! We'd love to hear your thoughts and comments on this book! He is our LIVING HOPE! As always, thanks for listening and encouraging us!
