- 73Corella Roberts – God’s Fingerprints in Wilderness PlacesHave you ever experienced a spiritual wilderness? In this episode, I'm talking with Corella Roberts. Her Fierce Calling thus far includes a difficult season in bush Alaska and adventures in Thailand. Hear what she learned during her spiritual wilderness, what her family is currently praying and waiting for, and how God is using her in a land that is less than 1% Christian. Plus she's writing a book and we get to hear the details. Listen in! To connect with Corella visit corellaroberts.com on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/corella.roberts/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/corellaroberts/ Born and raised in northern Idaho, Corella's love for books and writing developed at an early age. After high school, she ventured off to St. Paul, MN where she earned a degree from the University of Northwestern and first heard the call to be a missionary teacher. She married her high school sweetheart, Troy Roberts, and they moved to teach in a village of about fifty people in bush Alaska. After seven years, during which time they almost gave up on missions entirely, God saw fit to rekindle their desire to teach in unreached parts of the world. That's when they moved to Chiang Rai, Thailand. They have two spunky children who love sloths and hamsters, they eat cheap Thai food to their hearts' content, and they support the amazing community of missionaries there through teaching and organizing community events. Recently, God has invited Corella to return to her passion for writing, and she is working on a book about the literal and spiritual wilderness she experienced in Alaska, and the surprise of finding God’s fingerprints all over that part of her story.

- 75Danielle Bernock – You Are LovedIn this episode, I’m talking with author, speaker, and coach Danielle Bernock. Danielle didn’t always believe God loved her. Losses, traumas, and lies sent her running from God. So what happens when a girl is taught that what the Bible means about dying to self is that our true self is not worthy of God's love? Instead of it being told dying to self meant taking up our cross and following Christ in our born again new self, a lie was planted and she believed that her self was worthless and not worthy of God’s love. Danielle had to overcome lies of Christian legalism and through God’s love, she found freedom. Danielle wants you to know you matter. You matter to God and you matter to her. Listen in while I have a chat with Danielle Bernock. Danielle Bernock is an author, speaker, and coach who helps people embrace their value, heal their soul through the power of love, and take ownership of their life, to become wholehearted thrivers, who are living a good and satisfying life, making a difference in the world.

- 77Rhonda Marie Stalb – Victory over Trauma and DysfunctionRhonda Marie Stalb is no stranger to trauma and dysfunction. After a horrifically traumatic event, Rhonda was compelled to step into her passion, compassion, and conviction to help others walk in freedom. Do you or someone you know struggle with past trauma and dysfunctional family patterns? "When I was 19, I married my first husband. I was starving for love and connection with someone. So, I put my heart in the hands of the first one who was willing to take it. Big mistake! The relationship was unhealthy and extremely dysfunctional right from the start. You see, when I was a child, my parents didn’t bother showing me what healthy relationships looked like. My father beat my mother daily and he finally left to pursue an affair, along with drugs and alcohol. After he left, my mother was so depressed that she often left me in dangerous situations. Then when I was 8, a drug overdose killed her. She was only 31 years old. So from that point forward, my abandonment issues sabotaged every relationship I had. I continued to get involved in one dysfunctional relationship after another. I didn’t know what true love was. It seemed normal to me that my first husband was abusive, cold, and distant. That’s what I was used to. After 15 years of marriage, I walked in on my first husband ..." Listen in as I have a chat with Rhonda Marie Stalb.

- 78Kathy Burrus – The Color of HopeKathy Burrus never intended to be an author. That changed the day after her daughter Leisha died. In the back of Leisha’s journal, Kathy found Chapter One of a book her daughter had begun. Leisha started by telling the love story of her parents and ended the chapter with "…and then I was born, Leisha D. Burrus". At that moment, Kathy knew she was meant to finish the book. Her first book, Lovely Traces of Hope, tells their story: Kathy's, Leisha's, their family's. But it is really the story of how God showed up with hope and was Kathy's guide through the tunnel of grief to find life again. Her second book, EnVision YOU: UnStuck and Confident (which just came out in Sept of 2019), is for the woman who wants to make her difference but feels stuck. It might be grief, but Kathy talks about a myriad of other ways we might be stuck. How would you feel to be free of the stuck places and making your remarkable difference? Kathy is a lover of stories, and more importantly, of the people who live those stories. She chose to become a certified professional life coach to take this a step further and help women hear, through their own stories, who they are and how they are making a difference in their world. She loves to help them intentionally design hope as they engage their life, empower their love in marriage, and even embrace their loss. Drawing from her experience as a life coach and from years in ministry as a worship leader and as the wife of a pastor, Kathy has found her author’s voice. In her writing, she shares a message of hope and healing to women that is authentically transparent. Kathy and her husband Rennie, have been married for over 40 years and make their home surrounded by the cornfields of Columbus Grove, Ohio.
