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.
In this episode of The Wonder Podcast, Chrissie and Lisa tackle the book of Titus. Though it's a very short letter by Paul, it packs a BIG punch. Paul uses this letter to Titus, to encourage him in his role of teacher, preacher, and role model for the new church. The island of Crete is where Titus is ministering, and Chrissie and Lisa reminisce a bit about their short stop in Crete while visiting Greece. This book serves as a reminder to us all that our good works can be what brings the world to Christ. While our works don't save us, our good works are used by God to draw people to Himself. We must be about doing good in this world! We want the world coming to Christ not fleeing from Him because Christians can't represent! We pray this book ministers to you as you listen.
Welcome to the very first episode of our new series, THE FRIEND ZONE!
Each month we'll have a friend or family member on the show to share what God is doing in their life. We're excited about this! It's going to be fun and encouraging all at the same time!
This month we are honored to have Kelley McCoy share all that God is doing in her life. Kelley has been mentored by Chrissie for a long time since 2008 to be exact. Chrissie has mentored and discipled Kelley and really takes credit for where she is today. Just kidding…but really.
God has done great things in Kelley's life and she shares how He got a hold of her, drew her closer to Himself, and began to prepare her for the blessings ahead.
(Enter Jonathan Adkins…☺) Kelley is engaged and marrying her prince charming in a few weeks. It's fun to hear their love story and how God was working even when it didn't look like He was working at all.
That's our God! He's always at work on our behalf. Listen in and enjoy this lovey-dovey tale of two people falling madly in love!
Texas State Representative Jeff Leach joins Chrissie and Lisa for this episode of The Wonder Podcast.
Jeff and his beautiful wife Becky are friends of our podcast.
Becky has been on several episodes and we're so thankful for her ministry and encouragement. Full of optimism and encouragement, Jeff shares his vision for the people of the great state of Texas, as well as for our nation.
He reminds us to pray for our leaders, get involved where we can, and above all else LOVE GOD and LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS! We CAN do something when we feel overwhelmed by our circumstances... PRAY!
God hears us and is in control of all things. Please pray for Jeff, Becky, their kiddos, and all those giving of their time and talents to serve our states and country.
We're thankful for you all!
You may or may not be aware that January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
We're honored to have Alicia Bush with us today on The Wonder Podcast.
Alicia is the founder and CEO of Treasured Vessels Foundation. Treasured Vessels is a residential community in North Texas operating as a clinically therapeutic aftercare program for survivors of domestic sex trafficking.
Yes, sex trafficking is as alive and thriving in North Texas as it is in the rest of the world.
We can all help, even if it's just educating ourselves to know what it is and how we can detect a person being trafficked.
Please listen to our conversation with Alicia, and visit her website, http://www.treausredvesselsfoundation.org to learn more.
As always, thank you for listening and supporting The Wonder Podcast.
Happy 2021! We made it! Yippeeee!!!!
2020 is in the rearview mirror and we have entered 2021. As we look at the year ahead, we have always made it a habit throughout our friendship to grab a coffee in January and share goals for the year.
We do this according to Luke 2:52 – "and Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man." So during this episode of The Wonder Podcast, you'll hear our physical, wisdom, spiritual, and community goals for 2021!
Also, Lisa shares her WORD for the year.
Grab a coffee and listen in…
In this episode of The Wonder Podcast, Chrissie and Lisa re-cap 2020, the highs and lows and in-betweens.
This year started out with a bang and trip of a lifetime to Israel, but quickly turned when the world stopped turning and they almost didn't make it home!
From no toilet paper or hand sanitizer, to shutdowns across the world, this will certainly be a year to remember. What have you learned in 2020?
We've all learned something, and the good news is God isn't finished with us. He's still fine tuning us and giving us opportunity upon opportunity to trust Him more.
2021 will bring its own set of "opportunities" we're sure, but one thing won't change…Our God is still on His throne. We can trust Him on the mountaintop and in the valley, and He is good. Always.
Thank you for listening to our little podcast this year. We're thankful for you. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
Here's to 2021 and ALL that is to come! We anticipate WONDER-ful days ahead!

In this final chapter of Philippians, Lisa and Chrissie discuss Paul's heart behind the message.
He encourages the church in Philippi to not be anxious about all that is going on. Be steadfast, gentle, and always rejoice! He reminds them that they are all on the same team! It's such a good reminder for us, isn't it? We are all on the same team. We must be gentle with each other.
Anxiety is something Paul certainly dealt with on some level, don't you think? Yet he reminds us in this chapter to not be anxious…about ANYTHING! And then he goes on to say that he has learned to be content in all circumstances. Our anxiety stems from our inability to be content no matter what comes our way. "Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves; yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries." - Warren Wiersbe Again, Paul encourages the church to watch how he lives. It's a bold statement to live by. But Paul is very bold as he leads. It makes a point that we are all influencers.
Whether you're a friend, parent, co-worker, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, daughter, or son…you're influencing someone. Can you say, "Follow me…I'll lead you to Christ"?
As we close this book of study, we're thankful for the opportunity to study and in turn share with you. We always appreciate your feedback and encouragement.
Let us know what you would like us to dive into next!
Thanks for listening!
Chrissie and Lisa
Count it all loss. Chapter 3 is where the rubber meets the road.
Paul lists his various accomplishments in life and lets us know that it is all loss compared to knowing Christ.
How many times have we relied on our resume or accomplishments for value, esteem, and worth?
Yet Paul reminds us it's nothing. Jesus Christ is our all, our everything, our sufficiency. And what a privilege to know HIM!
This chapter also reminds us that what is on our minds comes out in our lives. It's so convicting to intentionally THINK about what we THINK about.
What is on your mind today? God's word helps us redirect our thought life from the things of this world to the things of His kingdom.
We get so confused, don't we? Remember, confusion is NOT from the Lord. This chapter, y'all! It is full of POWER!
Thank you for diving in with us. We're LOVING our time in Philippians.
