  • When You Need Personal Revival :: Cleere Cherry Reaves [Ep 504]

    When You Need Personal Revival :: Cleere Cherry Reaves [Ep 504]
    Jan 6 2025

    As we enter a new year do you feel stuck or like last year did not go like you intended it to? Are you dealing with disappointments and finding it difficult to see God in your situation?

    Today Cleere Cherry Reaves, author and podcaster, joins me to talk about how God’s word is the most powerful tool in shifting our focus and seeing the Lord in our everyday circumstances. In her new book Revive she writes about how Jesus is with us through the storms and trials of life, He does not simply pluck us out of every situation but we learn how to see Him in the hard times. Here are some topics we cover…

    • Cleere’s son has a powerful testimony in the making as a non-verbal kid. She shares how she uses the word of God to reframe that situation.
    • How in seasons of brokenness and fragility we see the strength of God.
    • Trusting God's Plan and Recalibrating Expectations.
    • How our habits create a “diet” of what we are consuming and how to change those to be more focused on the word of God.
    • How to take time to listen to the voice of God.

  • Processing Grief, Infertility, and Loss in Community :: Julie Fowler [Ep 502]

    Processing Grief, Infertility, and Loss in Community :: Julie Fowler [Ep 502]
    Dec 16 2024
    Have you or a friend ever walked through a season of infertility and grief? Do you often wonder what to say when a friend is walking through loss of any kind?

    Today my friend Julie Fowler is here to talk about her heartbreaking (but hopeful) story of motherhood and how God used her story to help people navigate loss. Julie has faced miscarriage, adoptions that fell through at the last minute, and baby twins she only held for four short hours. She truly has walked this long road and knows all of the feelings of grief and uncertainty around waiting for a baby. This valley produced a beautiful study of walking through infertility in community and connecting with God in the deepest, darkest places. We cover so much in our conversation including…

    • How to talk to a friend in a season of infertility and loss- what not to say.
    • How husbands and wives can support each other instead of turning on one another.
    • Sharing your feelings with the Lord and then speaking truth over yourself.
    • Wrestling with deep spiritual questions when your prayers are not being answered.
    • Making a support group uplifting instead of only heavy while still leaving room to process.
