    What do you do when life shatters into a million pieces? Most of us have stared down a moment like that—or we one day will. What then?  Lisa Appelo is a woman who has been there. When her husband Dan died suddenly, she found herself grieving the love of her life while raising seven children on her own. In this tender conversation, Lisa shares how God sustained her in the darkest days of grief—not by removing her pain, but by meeting her in the midst of it.  If you are walking through the deep waters of grief, Lisa is a gentle companion who will remind you that you don’t have to pretend you’re fine. The God of comfort sees you, moves toward you, and will carry you through.  Click here for show notes Watch this episode on YouTube Join us for the The Healing Power of Lament Workshop!

    What Is Shalom? (SHALOM SERIES)

    What does shalom really mean? We often translate the Hebrew word shalom simply as “peace,” but Scripture gives us a much bigger and more beautiful picture: wholeness, flourishing, harmony, communion with God—the way things ought to be. In this introductory episode of the Shalom Series, we’ll trace this idea from creation and the brokenness of Genesis 3 to the peace Jesus offers us in the middle of a world that is still not as it should be. We’ll also look at what Scripture says about shalom in Judges 6, Jeremiah 29, John 14, Philippians 4, and Numbers 6—and why our bodies, minds, relationships, and spiritual lives all matter as we move toward wholeness. Over the next several months, we’ll explore the things that disrupt our shalom—including grief, anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, trauma, and loneliness—and ask: • What disrupts our shalom? • What does Scripture say about it? • What can psychology and therapy help us understand? • What helps restore shalom? • How does God invite us back toward Him? Because we weren't simply created to survive. We were created for shalom. Click here for show notes Watch this episode on YouTube Thanks for listening!

    Behind the Scenes of SEEN

Order Seen: How God Pursues the Overlooked and Uninvited: https://amzn.to/4cttl0S Seen explores the stories of six women in Scripture who were overlooked, silenced, or cast aside by the people around them, yet never once overlooked by God. Teresa opens up about the years-long journey of writing this study, the story that was hardest for her to write, the surprising way this book ended up ministering to her own heart, and what she hopes women will take away from it.

    Do you ever wonder what you would do if you were faced with the atrocities of WWII? I do! Would I have stood by as millions of innocent victims lost their lives at the hands of the Nazi regime?
