    Episode 15 - Soul Conversation with Brianna Brown, mama of 3 boys & missionary in Taiwan

    Enjoy this 26-minute soul conversation with my sweet friend, Brianna Brown, as she shares her real time vulnerability about being a mama of 3 young boys and heading to Taiwan as a missionary family.  We laugh about how we met over Instagram and ended up living in the same town. Presently, Brianna finds herself in the "valley of the shadow of death," specifically when it comes to navigating her oldest, adopted son's special needs. We discuss how she is experiencing peace and comfort, how God is cupping her face, and where she is noticing tiny pockets of grace and love in the present. Brianna ends our time by reading a poem she wrote about her current pasture season. *cue tears* Show Notes Follow/ Support The Brown Family's Taiwan Story via IG: mrsbribrown www.worldventure.com/thebrowns Brianna's reading recs: Here Now by Kate Merrick The Listening Life by Adam S.

    Episode 13 - Soul Conversation with my hubby, Bryan Pogue

    In Ep. 13 I'm sitting down with my hubby, Bryan Pogue, as he shares his (our) journey of intentionally stepping away from vocational church ministry to simply love people, even if we don't get a paycheck from the church. Bryan talks about how his identity was wrapped up in what he did for over 15+ years, and his continual discovery that he is not what he does, but whose He is.   Show Notes Bryan's Reading Recs: Redefining Sanctuary by Bekah J.

    Episode 11 - Conversation with Rebecca Stilwell, owner of Spring Hill Antique Mall

    * Be sure to listen to Episode 10, Finding the Answer, before enjoying this soul-nourishing conversation. Gosh, what a sweet 30-minute conversation with my friend, Rebecca Stilwell, owner of Spring Hill Antique Mall (SHAM) + Columbia Antique Marketplace. After coming out of a 27-year career in Financial Services, Rebecca shares about how her perfectly planned life took a detour, ten years ago. "One by one, the wheels came off, the track; my dad's health, financial service was in a hard time, life just got messy." She shares about her mom's encouragement that God was not wringing His hands over her situation. That mattered. Then her dad, in the latter stages of Alzheimer's said, "It's going to be okay." That mattered, too. Presently, Rebecca most resonates with Psalm 23: 1... "I lack for nothing." We talk about how humility has changed her for the better, what she wishes she would've done differently in parenting, and her wisdom nuggets from 58 years of life and faith experiences. Rebecca tells us about how she became the owner of a 1958 former-gymnasium-turned-antique mall, and then, two weeks later, her dad passed away. The antique mall vendors rallied around her and allowed her time to grieve. "That's how the SHAM is. It's a pasture. A haven. A sweet place with great people." - Rebecca Stilwell The SHAM is what connected Rebecca and I. It's where I held Pasture Experience local gatherings before I chose to shrink the size and host weekend retreats in our home. Show Notes: Rebecca Stilwell's Wisdom Nuggets: 1. The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing. Don't get too busy. 2. Humility is important. Pray for it. 3. Stay in the Word. Search it intently. Seek diligently.  To visit/connect with Rebecca at the Spring Hill Antique Mall (and her newly opened store, Columbia Antique Marketplace) Spring Hill Antique Mall @thespringhillantiquemall Rebecca's newly opened store: Columbia Antique Marketplace @columbiaantiquemarketplace Learn about Pasture Experience Retreats: PastureExperience.com Apply for our Spring Retreat: March 6-8, 2020  *Space is limited My humble, grateful thanks for listening, subscribing, sharing + supporting! - xo, Bekah @BekahJanePogue BekahPogue.com My humble, humble thanks to: Bema Meda Production + Team Andrew Cache, Editing Sel Thomson, Graphic Designer Jeniece Harris, Original Art Rebecca Stilwell, Owner of Spring Hill Antique Mall (SHAM) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bekah-pogue/support

    Episode 10 - Finding the Answer

    In this 11-minute episode, I invite you to find Him as the Answer, while we're looking for all of the other answers.  Where are you waiting on an answer? A job? A college application? Healing in a relationship? How do you find yourself responding in the waiting? When we allow ourselves to be human, to say, 'I don't know what's going on. Why isn't this connecting?' it frees one another up to say, 'we don't know either.'  Join me as I share a story about ugly crying in a restorative yoga class, how I'm experiencing God's comfort in the unknown, and how freeing it is to vulnerably say, "I don't know, but He does." ** Join us next week, for Episode 11, as Rebecca Stilwell, owner of the Spring Hill Antique Mall, shares her humble story about experiencing the beauty of vulnerability while searching for life answers. Show Notes Contemplative Questions to Consider: 1. What's an area you long to have an answer? 2. What does your soul need while you wait? 3. Practice the phrase, "I don't know, but He does." How does this feel inside your body? 4. What would it look like to allow those vulnerable layers to come forth? 5. What does it look like to shift your perspective to look at God as the One who has the answers, instead of needing to have the answer on your own? The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

    Episode 9 - Conversation with hope revolutionist, author & illustrator of Hope for the Flowers, Trina Paulus

    You are in for a treat with this 25-minute episode, where I interview Trina Paulus, the feisty, 88-year old author & illustrator of the beloved book, Hope for the Flowers.  Trina shares about the theology of hope that inspired this message, her experience working in Egypt, about how she crawled off the expected "pillar" of becoming a nun, and how her message has reached China, Korea, Russia and beyond. As Hope for the Flowers celebrates its' 50th anniversary, Trina shares about what is bringing her hope in the present. Stay tuned for the surprise when she flips the tables and begins interviewing me! Enjoy our witty banter and laughing about how we are doing life scared.  "We all have our pillars. We are all wounded healers." - Trina Paulus "You have to go through something, but the change is much more dramatic than most people dream of... this amazing transformation is radical, and we need that today." - Trina Paulus Show Notes: Buy a fafillion copies of Hope for the Flowers and pass them out for Halloween: Hope for the Flowers Connect with Trina at hopefortheflowers.com More about how Hope for the Flowers came to be: "It all started many years ago while sharing comfort with a friend who just experienced the death of someone close. What does one say? How can we dare imagine that life can go on – we have no proof? The amazing transformation of a caterpillar, a lowly worm, into a glorious flying creature is also hard to believe. But because we have actually seen a butterfly we can hope for other transformations invisible to the eye. In face of loss beyond words I would draw a card with a caterpillar, a cocoon and a butterfly illustrating a favorite text, “Life is changed, not taken away.” - Trina Paulus Thank you for listening + subscribing to Pasture Experience Podcast!
