Our guests today, Tiffany Dawn, along with her husband, James are here with us to share their journey and guide us in all things related to dating, relationships, and how to keep God first through it all!

Today we are going to be talking about “Experiencing God at a Deeper Level Through His Abiding Love.” We all have the desire to know God more deeply and to grow every day in our faith and to know without a doubt the love that God has for us. As Christians, we try to add our own flesh-fueled ideas of what we think building a relationship with God should look like, through our own effort and our own works. Sometimes we need help living and resting in Jesus, and finding our way to the place where we can really know the hope of God and know that he truly is for us. Our guest today, Ron Block, author of the book, Abiding Dependence: Living Moment by Moment in the Love of God, knows very well that becoming who we’re meant to be requires a deeper experience with God, and he will be sharing more about that and his own walk with Christ today.

Today we are going to be talking about “Finding Your Place in God’s Story Through the Biblical Stories of Women in Jesus’ Lineage.”  Finding your place in God’s story, thankfully, isn’t about doing more or having it all together—it’s about resting in God’s promises and seeking his wisdom to live faithfully wherever we are. Our guest today, Teresa Swanstrom Anderson, creator of the Get Wisdom Bible Studies, is here to focus specifically on her Bible study of the women in Jesus’ lineage to demonstrate to us that God is speaking into our stories through the complicated lives of five ordinary, imperfect, yet very courageous women connected to Jesus through his lineage.

Today we are going to be talking about how the storyline of the Bible can answer the question, what on earth am I here for? Or, what is the purpose of my life? These are big questions that millions of people ponder every day. We can go about figuring these out if we truly understand God’s story. If someone asked you to tell them a short version of the story of the Bible, what would you say? My guests today, Ashley and Taylor from our YouTube channel, Coffee and Bible Time, are here to help us sort this all out.

Today we are going to be talking about “introducing young children to prayer and how it can mold their faith, prayer life, and family bonds.” The concept of God and knowing what to say to God can be very intimidating for little ones.  But if we can teach children how to talk to God and help them learn that their prayers for others matter, it can be an instrumental factor in building a firm foundation of faith that will last a lifetime. Our guests today, Chrissy Metz and Bradley Collins, have co-written a new children’s picture book titled, When I Talk to God, I Talk About You. They are here to talk about the importance of modeling prayer to young children and watching them grow in faith through that tender introduction at an early age.

11:16 - Your book is described as “a touching ode to unconditional love”. How have you experienced God’s unconditional love in your lives? How do we pass that on to children?

17:01 - Who was instrumental in your lives that influenced your faith walks?
20:31 - What was the process like of turning your words over to another to interpret visually?

Today we are going to be talking about “making sense of what feels senseless in processing grief and navigating the loss of a loved one.” Those of us that have experienced a major loss of a loved one know all too well the gripping sorrow, doubts, and questions that come from that grief. If we don’t seek help in processing that loss, we can very easily get stuck there. Our guest today, Danita Jenae, author of the book, When Mountains Crumble: Rebuilding Life After Losing Someone You Love, is a survivor of great loss herself, and she is here to share her story with us and provide hope to those who are wrestling with the pain of grief.
