    Behind the Scenes of Pause Renew Next Podcast with Ginny Detweiler | God Behind the Scenes Series E2

    Continuing the "God Behind the Scenes" series today is my friend, Ginny Detweiler. She is a wife, a mom, a licensed mental health counselor, and a host of Pause Renew Next podcast, with whom I had a chance to connect via Instagram last year. While it seems like a coincidence, I can attest that Ginny is not your usual podcaster in the faith space. She celebrates the ordinary, delights in life conversations, and applies her background in counseling to help people.  Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Ginny.  Resources: Carry | Being Known Podcast | Neuro Faith Podcast | Let's Talk Podcast | Becoming a Face of Grace | The Fifteen Minutes on Pause Renew Next!  Connect with Ginny | Em | The Fifteen Minutes

    Behind the Scenes of BOSTempeh with Daniel and Meylia Kurnianto | God Behind the Scenes Series E1

    We’re kicking off a new series today called “God Behind the Scenes,” which explores various unfiltered, non-highlight reels, and even messy stories of ordinary people paired with extraordinary and perfect God.  Isaiah 45:15 in the Message translation states, “Clearly, You are a God who works behind the scenes, God of Israel, Savior God.” Whether it’s through the book of Isaiah or the book of Esther where God’s name is not even explicitly mentioned but He is all over the stories in the book: ordaining, fine-tuning, and showing up to meet the needs of His people. Get ready, because Daniel and Meylia Kurnianto are sharing their stories today. They are the founders of BOSTempeh, a tempeh manufacturing company, and dear friends of mine with whom I have the joy of sharing the same home church, Boston City Blessing Church. By God’s grace, BOSTempeh has reached many people throughout the United States and their work has been featured in Bon Appetit magazine, VOA Indonesia, and others. As we know, this success doesn’t come without any pain, sacrifice, and even failure. So, let’s pause and remind ourselves again that no matter what circumstances we are going through, no matter what behind-the-scenes moment we are facing right now, God is still at work. He will not leave you or forsake you. He is faithful to fulfill His promise.  Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Daniel and Meylia.

    Hope in the meantime with Claudia Helena | Meeting God in the Exile Series E6

    PSA: You don't want to miss the closing message at the end of this episode. Please give it a listen.  Have you ever wrestled with "the way" God loves you? Like, the times when you go through a painful season in order to affirm you that He is all you need in all circumstances? Or the times when you have to fight a hard battle in order to affirm that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you? Even in the Bible, there’s a story of Jesus intentionally delaying Lazarus’ healing just so that he could resurrect Him from death (see John 11). WOW. I wonder, how many times I desperately want a specific outcome only to find out that there is a BETTER way in the end? It's God’s way, the way that is better, beyond my wildest imagination and anything I can dream of.  So yes, you can have HOPE... even in the meantime.  Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Claudia.  Resources: Make Room by Community Music | Listen to Un.mute with Claudia Connect with Claudia | Em | The Fifteen Minutes

    Drawing Near to God with Claudia Helena | Meeting God in the Exile Series E5

    It's the 11th episode of The Fifteen Minutes Podcast! Wow. Thank YOU for your support. I thank God for each and every one of you. I pray that, through this podcast, you will embrace the goodness of God through ordinary moments and imperfect stories even more.  My guest for today is a fellow podcast host, a fresh UC Berkeley graduate who loves Jesus and has a big heart to help people around her: Claudia Helena. Y’all, I’ve only known her for a few months during her short stay in Boston, but I can tell that she is uniquely gifted in the area of encouraging people and giving a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. She might be young but her story today will challenge you to draw near to God even in the midst of uncertainty and waiting period.  Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Claudia.  Listen to Un.mute with Claudia.  Connect with Claudia | Em | The Fifteen Minutes

    The Bleak Season of Depression with Arditha Auriyane | Meeting God in the Exile Series E3

    From the prolonged global pandemic, the unstable geopolitical affairs, to the day-to-day hassles that we get to live as human beings on this planet earth, it becomes even more important to remind ourselves again - that yes, life can be brutal, circumstances can be really dark and frightening, BUT God is still at work.  Hope is still alive. Truth still prevails. Light still shines.  Choose to believe it, choose to notice it, choose to share it with others, one small act at a time.    My guest for today is not foreign to a hard season. Arditha Auriyane is an architect, wife, and my friend who knows firsthand how it’s like to experience a bleak season of depression. Lean in, pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Arditha. Connect with Arditha | Em | The Fifteen Minutes

    Even in the Waiting with Sofia Widya Kezia | Meeting God in the Exile Series E2

    Can we have hope even in the waiting? Waiting may seem so passive, but it doesn't have to be that way. We can ask God to prepare our hearts for what's to come. We can rest assured that He who was faithful in the past, will be faithful again. ⁠ There is hope in the meantime. Hold His hands, trust His promises, and be brave to take your next step. ⁠ Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in the second part of my conversation with Sofia. ⁠ Resources: On and On | Do it Again Connect with Sofia | Em | The Fifteen Minutes Check out Sofia’s music on Spotify
