- 97EP 97 Unplugging to RechargeWhen your smartphone is down to one-percent left on its charge, what do you do? If you’re like most of us, you dig out your charging cord as fast as you can and make a mad dash to the nearest available outlet. Isn’t that like what we try to do in life? When we’re depleted we try to plug into what we think will give us a quick charge—people, food, entertainment, spending money, or maybe chasing prestige or position. Those sources may deliver a momentary spark, but they won’t empower us to live a fully charged life - they will leave us living in a constant state of low power mode. This episode will empower you to seek the recharging you need in God so you can live a life of impact without wearing yourself out.

- 98EP 98 How to Bridge the Gap Between What You Believe and What You SeeI wonder what your response is when there is a gap between what you believe and what you see. Before Jesus left the earth, he told his disciples that they would experience times of pain and heartache in life. At the same time, he encouraged them to hold onto hope during those times. Will you hold onto hope that God is good and God does good even when nothing in your life or in the world seems good? This episode will empower you to get honest with God about your questions and hold onto faith in him to bridge the gap between what you believe and what you see.

More precisely, what if you are holding on to thoughts, habits, or daily routines—likely without even knowing it—that are keeping you from all the good things in life that God has for you? This episode will empower you to leave behind the thoughts, behaviors, habits, and attitudes that can hold you back so you can walk fully in who God called you and equipped you to be.

- 104EP 104 How to Find More Fulfillment in LifeWith the advances of modern technology, we have “more” than ever before. We can travel further and faster than ever before. We can work longer days and access more entertainment from the palm of our hand than ever before. But all of that “more” may be keeping you from your best life, your mission, your purpose, and your peace, because it distracts you from the things that matter most. Jesus knew that what mattered most was his relationship with his Father. He knew that there he would find peace and fulfillment in life. And it’s the same place you will find fulfillment - in your relationship with God. This episode will empower you to take a break from chasing “more” and intentionally spend time with the living God who fulfills the desires of your heart and fuels you to pursue your purpose with passion and peace.

- 105EP 105 A Life Changing RelationshipDo you view your faith as a set of rules? A list of obligatory dos and dont’s that guide your life? Or do you view your faith as a relationship?

When we see focus on the ways Jesus’s unconditional love for us has radically transformed our lives, we can’t help but share that with others not just through our words, but also through acts of kindness and compassion. This episode will empower you to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom by sharing your faith as you go about your everyday life.

Yet you didn’t land that great job, your kids didn’t return to church, the relationship you’ve been working on hasn’t been reconciled. We may feel confused, hurt, disappointed, or possibly even abandoned. So what do you do? This is where faith is put to the test, where it has the opportunity to grow deeper within us. This episode will empower you to choose to trust in the goodness of God even in the face of a major disappointment, and lean on him to keep your faith and hope alive no matter what.

- 110EP 110 "How Did I Get Here?" Feature: Don't Ring the BellHave you ever found yourself in a place in life you hadn't intended to go and then wondered, “How did I end up here?” Maybe you were dealt a setback, felt unsettled about the world, or faced an uncertain future. You knew It’s like you’d drifted off course, but weren’t sure when, why, or what to do about it. Drifting robs us of the energy, vision, and passion we need to move forward with confidence. When Christine found herself in one of those “How did I end up here?” places got to this point in her life a couple of years ago, she couldn’t hide her shock and God mercifully intervened to show her how to get back on track. Listen in as Christine reads the opening to her new book on this very topic and vulnerably shares her own experience of wanting to ring the bell.

- 111EP 111 "How Did I Get Here?" Feature: Dropping and Setting AnchorWe can all drift in life—away from our hopes, vision, passions, values, intentions, or even God—if we’re not paying attention. The Bible tells us, Pay attention, lest you drift (Hebrews 2:1). Like a rudderless boat at sea, it’s the slow, small changes in the currents that we allow to go unnoticed that can so deceptively sweep us far off our course. Without even realizing it’s happening, we can find ourselves, wondering What happened—this isn’t what I wanted—how did I get here? In this episode, Christine reads the first chapter of her new book “How Did I Get Here?”. In the book, she opens up about her failings and victories—and the many times in between when she fell into a desperate heap to the floor! Through these experiences she shows how you can anchor your soul and keep steady on the Rock, immovable, and on course toward the best that God has for you—regardless of the storms in life.

- 112EP 112 "How Did I Get Here?" Feature: How to Stop the DriftYou were created by your loving Father on purpose and for his divine purpose. He has amazing plans for you at every age and stage of your life. But there can be seasons when we feel like we’re not on track for the best he has for us. We're not where we want to be, we may not have the same passion for our mission, or we’re just straight up confused about what we want. How did we get here? We've drifted. Drifting happens when we float along with life’s currents and—while we aren't paying attention—we get carried off further and further away from our hopes, dreams, and passions. If you’ve ever veered off course and wondered, how did I get here, know this: God has made a way back for you—a way to anchor your soul—a way to lead you to the peace, purpose and destiny he’s prepared for you. In this episode, Christine reads Chapter 2 from her new book “How Did I Get Here?” She shares how we are invited to lean into God’s Word to resist drifting from our purpose and to help propel us back on the course for an amazing future designed for us by God himself.

- 113EP 113 Who Changed Your Life?Do you remember who first introduced you to Jesus? The person who changed the course of your life by telling you about the One who changed the course of theirs? Oftentimes, we make evangelism way more complicated than we need to. It can be as simple as knowing Jesus and noticing people around us. People we encounter everyday - at work, at school, at the grocery store - are just waiting to be seen. People are waiting to be shown love and kindness and be told someone cares. This episode will empower you to change someone’s life simply by being a conduit of the life-changing love of Jesus.

- 114EP 114 Victory is Already YoursWhat’s your response when the inevitable challenges of life come your way? Is it to run and hide in bitterness and anger? Or is it to face the challenges head on with hope and faith that the God who brought you to it will get you through it? Jesus has already won the victory, but we have to choose whether to live like we believe that. And when we choose to live from victory in the face of setbacks, we are declaring the goodness and hope of Jesus to everyone around us. This episode will empower you to inspire those around you to hold onto hope, even when things don’t go your way, by learning to see, focus on, and be thankful for the good God does in your life.

- 115EP 115 The Only One Who Won't Let You DownWhether we realize it or not, we all search for something or someone to give us what we need. Maybe it’s a sense of significance, security, protection, affirmation, or strength. We may look to money, ambition, self-reliance, or our friend’s approval—whatever we think we fulfill that we need to feel secure and happy. Here’s the problem: anything we turn to for comfort and peace outside of Jesus will eventually let us down. But Jesus? He will never let you down. He is with you in every season and the only reliable source of everything you will ever need. This episode will empower you to follow your Good Shepherd, Jesus, who wants to lead you toward a thriving, peaceful, and powerful life under his loving care and protection.

- 116EP 116 How to Choose Trust in Hard TimesWhen we are up against a situation that seems impossible - a setback we don’t see a way around, a financial pit we don’t see a way out of, or a broken relationship we can’t see reconciliation for - choosing to trust God no doubt feels hard, and maybe even uncomfortable. But trusting God, especially in the hard times, is essential for living a life of peace, joy, and purpose. And the good news is that as you spend more time with God, and learn more and more about his character and faithfulness, your ability to trust him will grow. This episode will empower you to build a solid foundation for trusting that God has your back, that he’s always at work on your behalf, even in the hardest of times.
