We live in a culture that numbs pain instead of naming it. When life unravels through loss, trauma, or burnout, we’re often told to “move on,” “stay positive,” or “just have more faith.” But what if the way forward isn’t denial—it’s lament?

In this episode, pastor and writer Allyce Fogle-Logue joins us to talk about her new book Heaven’s Ache—a forty-day journey through the Psalms that reclaims lament as a sacred rhythm for the soul. Born out of her own season of grief, Allyce invites us to rediscover the language of honest sorrow, where we can bring our pain before God without pretending everything’s okay.

Together, we explore why lament isn’t weakness but worship, how it helps us process loss with hope, and why the Church needs to recover this forgotten practice. Whether your wounds are fresh or long-hidden, this conversation will help you lament like you mean it—and encounter the God who meets you in the ache.

What if guilt isn’t your enemy—but a doorway to grace?

In this episode, Pastor and author Kelly McCuaig joins us to talk about his new book Good Guilt: Redeeming the Gift of Repentance. Too often, guilt and repentance are viewed through the lens of shame, fear, and failure. But Kelly invites us to rediscover repentance as one of the most joyful and freeing practices in the Christian life.

Rooted in Scripture and real-life ministry experience, Kelly helps us see how “good guilt” can lead to healing, renewal, and deeper intimacy with God. Together, we explore why repentance isn’t about self-condemnation—it’s about returning to the love of a God who delights in restoring us.

Whether you’re weary from perfectionism or longing for a more grace-filled faith, this conversation will help you trade performance for presence, shame for grace, and fear for joy.

What if the most profound revelations of God’s presence don’t happen on mountaintops or in dramatic moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life?

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. James A. Harnish to talk about his newest book, Everyday Epiphanies: Meeting Christ in the Ordinary Moments of Life. Drawing from stories in the gospels and insights from decades of ministry, Jim invites us to recognize the extraordinary presence of Christ in the seemingly ordinary details of our days.

Together, we explore questions like:

• What is an “epiphany,” and how can you recognize one in your own life?
• Why do so many of us miss God’s everyday revelations?
• How can practicing awareness of Christ’s presence shape our faith, our relationships, and our daily walk with God?

Whether you’re looking for encouragement in your spiritual journey or fresh ways to see God at work in your daily life, this conversation will help you slow down, pay attention, and notice the extraordinary in the ordinary.
