    S5E10: How To Be a Winsome Witness To The LGBT+ Community
    May 10 2024

    Pieter Valk is a writer, speaker and counselor and founder and executive director of Equip, which trains churches and leaders to make church a place where LGBT+ people can thrive while living out a traditional sexual ethic.

    We talk about

    - What is the most common roadblock to being a winsome witness you’ve seen & how can we overcome that?

    - How do you share Jesus with those who identify as "not straight"?

    - Is there a point where you should just stop bringing it up after you’ve had that conversation a certain number of times?

  • BONUS: My Birth Story!

    BONUS: My Birth Story!
    May 3 2024
    The prayer that changed my entire pregnancy & birth experience: “God, inform my intuition.” Hannah Penny has been on several episodes with me before, but today, she is hearing my birth story for the very first time (along with all of you listeners!) My birth plan changed A LOT in the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy and while I did walk through some grief about those expectations, I could not be more grateful and happy about Avanlé’s birth. The Lord had such perfect timing. He showed me that I can truly trust Him with my body because He made it & He created this little life! I hope this story can help any expecting moms eliminate any fear surrounding birth & encourage you to see it through God’s eyes and original intent. Don’t let fear steal the joy of this experience. xoxo, Jenny Marcum

  • S5E8: What To Do When God Changes The Plans On You

    S5E8: What To Do When God Changes The Plans On You
    Apr 12 2024
    What if you thought you were doing what God has called you to do...but then you start having doubts and differing feelings? Your calling is actually more about WHO you are rather than WHAT you do. It is less tied to a circumstance, job or location.

    S5E7: How To Share Your Faith Without Being Weird About It
    Mar 29 2024

    Micah Brenner is an executive coach & an illustrator. So you could say it’s not “vocational ministry”…but who cares? Micah is thoughtful, intentional & tactful in how he shares the Gospel with people no matter what his day job looks like. And he makes it simple & replicable for others to do that too.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    - how to stop overthinking sharing the Gospel with people in your life

    - how to avoid the ol' bait and switch

    - how to change your language so that it is truthful and digestible for your specific audience

  • MINISODE: What Is Your Role In Stopping Human Trafficking?

    MINISODE: What Is Your Role In Stopping Human Trafficking?
    Mar 22 2024
    Danielle Hanlon works with She Is Safe, an anti-trafficking organization that seeks to prevent, rescue and restore women and girls who are stuck in human trafficking across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The question is not IF you are called to do something. It is, "WHAT are you called to do?" We bring our small loaves and fish and God multiplies what we offer him. Throughout history, God often judged entire nations based off how they treated the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed. And we will be judged by what we did or did NOT do to the least of these. HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED: 1. VOLUNTEER 2. PRAY 3. GIVE: https://give.sheissafe.org/give/465045/#!/donation/checkout Danielle's Email: Dmdhanlon@gmail.com 4. ADVOCACY

    Danielle Hanlon was brought back on the show for a 2nd time because we weren't going to just leave you hanging! Our 1st episode was all about how to START dating. Now, we're talking about:

    - When do I share with my boyfriend about my struggles with porn and masturbation?


    - When do I share about my past sexual sin?


    - When do I bring up the mental illness I struggle with?

    - Around what time frame is it normal to say "I love you"?


    - How fast is too fast? Is there such a thing as "too fast"?


    - If my boyfriend tells me he has already had sex in previous relationships, should I be concerned?


    - How do I start viewing my boyfriend more romantically if we've been platonic friends for a long time beforehand?
