    Episode #217: Redemption from Addiction with Dana Brown (a part two!)

    Four years ago, in 2020, Dana chatted with us on our podcast and we were thrilled to have her back on to share more about her story and the incredible things God has done in her life. Dana is full of wisdom and reminds us that “shame and guilt have no control anymore because God created us and HE gets to say what happens in our lives.” Nothing we do is a surprise. He uses the mess we make to use for others to hear about how amazing He is. It’s hard sometimes to push past the lies and the “deceptive evil” but God is so good and he replaced Dana’s desire for drugs with the desire to tell people about Him.  Even if you don’t struggle with Dana’s struggles, she paints a picture of what it looks like to stop holding onto our sin and mistakes as our identity and instead hold onto who Jesus says we are! It takes a lifetime to get to redemption, so don’t give up, no matter where you are in your story. He’s got great things coming for you!  Here are some links from Dana:  Zoe Freedom Center: https://www.zoefreedomcenter.org/about Dana’s Book: Desperate for a Fix https://a.co/d/1W9UYLS  Susan’s Book: A Wanderer’s Journey: Part 1 https://a.co/d/7RJF5GJ

    Episode #216: A Story of Breaking Free from Addiction with Melissa Huray

    We love a good redemption story, and Melissa Huray’s story is a great one! As we wade through this season’s theme of addiction it’s important to us that we are chatting with authentic storytellers who want to share the truth of the hard and when and how they overcome it! Melissa shares her story, step by step, as she grew up and began to recognize the addiction in her life and what it took for her to say to Jesus, “I want to be done.”  Oh and hey, if you enjoyed our chat with her today, we encourage you to check out her books (⁠Blackout to Blessings⁠ & ⁠Radical Freedom⁠) show (⁠The Hope Report⁠)  or ⁠website⁠ to hear more!

    Episode #215: Where We've Been & Where We are Heading!

    Join us this week as Katie and Julia chat about their summers! This summer She Speaks Stories had a NEW theme, where we dropped the "S" and had a summer filled with HEs! The He Speaks Stories Summer not only extended into our episodes but also our summer book club. The books we read over the summer were fantastic, so Julia and Katie share favorite parts and encourage all our listeners to get a copy: 1. The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers by Amy Hollingsworth (https://a.co/d/cRFSM5j) 2. Me, Myself & Bob by Phil Vischer (https://a.co/d/1lttBLJ) 3. A Burning in My Bones by Winn Collier (https://a.co/d/babNHTA) After chatting about the FUN of their summer our lovely co-hosts shifted gears to what to expect from the She Speaks Stories podcast!

    Episode #214: He Speaks Stories Summer with Lou Minichini

    Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Lou Minichini! He was chatting with the lovely Katie Hawkins at their Sunday School get-together and shared his conversion story. Katie's response was “you HAVE to be on our podcast!” and we are SO thankful Lou agreed!  His story walks us through how a New Jersey Italian Catholic found Jesus. How his upbringing grew from a traditional awareness of God to a life changing relationship with his Savoir.  And after he found Christ, he talked about the importance of sharing the good news! The discussion that follows that: unpacking preferences vs principles in our faith, was so interesting and fun!

    Episode #213: He Speaks Stories Summer with Nik Sifers

    Our host Julia Sifers is head over heels in love with today’s guest, and that’s a good thing because he’s her husband!  Yup, Nik Sifers’, Julia’s other-half, joins us today to share some perspective of the trust that develops for those of us “stuck on hard-mode.” Nik in his own sarcastic and thoughtful way walks us through a few examples of God’s specific care and direction in ways he was not expecting. This episode helps us see that God will always provide, and it’s always good, but it’s rarely what we were expecting!

    Episode #212: He Speaks Stories Summer with Tom Flaherty

    Are you tired? Just worn out? In this episode Tom breaks down the simple beauty of intimacy with God. It seems like a big feat, but it starts with desire and grows into something wonderful.  Tom, Katie’s brother, has been on our podcast a few times before because he’s a great teacher, one of Katie’s best favorite brothers and he genuinely enjoys our podcast! So that works out nicely! In this episode shares dreams he’s had and the transformation that came when the meaning of the dreams were revealed.  It’s such a good perspective on the power of valuing the presence of God.  Let’s get the ark back, let’s eat the spinach, let’s rest in the awesome power of his presence!

    Episode #210: Reunion Episode with Portia Allen

    Those of you who have been long-time listeners know Portia and the goodness she brings, and though God called her to step down as host of She Speaks Stories, he called her towards some other great changes. And in this episode, Portia shares with us what she’s been up to this past year.  Jesus has held her, through changes, in her identity and quieted her fast pace with deep renewal. Her organization Imago Dei is growing as they learn exactly what it looks like to come alongside the church and help organize conversations about diversity. Their goal is to help leaders see what Jesus taught. That it’s not about the outcome, but about opportunities and looking around to see what is needed in the church’s community. Imago Dei is a much needed perspective. Not just sweeping these hard questions under the rug but really coming alongside the confusion to bridge the gaps and guide them through so Jesus can be seen in all cultures and corners! As they say, “Diversity is a garden to grow, not a problem to solve.”  To learn more about Imago Dei: Website:www.weareimagodei.co Instagram: @weareiagodei.co Our Heart We'd love to be a part of your (all who hear this podcast) church staff development through our recorded 5 session course to help rediscover diversity through a biblical perspective. The Foundations Course is available through the website. Not sure where to begin? We'd love to hop on a free call with you. Click here.
