    Episode Revisited: If God is Good, Then Why is Life Hard? | Matt Howell

    When trials befall us, we’re often tempted to question God’s goodness or power, and because we want an end to our pain, we try to figure out why God has allowed particular trials into our lives. We reason that if we can just understand what God is doing, we can work towards a way out of our suffering. I am so excited to share with you guys my conversation today with Pastor Matt Howell, as we discuss some profound questions about suffering. Pastor Matt grew up in Dallas, TX and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2003. After graduation, he served as an intern with RUF at LSU for two years where he developed a heart for pastoral ministry and met and married his wife, Kathryn. After 11 years of being a campus minister with RUF, Matt now serves as a pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, in Memphis, Tennessee. While we can’t know God’s specific reasons for the trials that he allows into our lives, we do know that He has a big-picture purpose for the sufferings we endure.

    110: When Life Doesn't Go as Planned | Ruth Chou Simons

    Today I’m joined by author, artist, and GraceLaced founder Ruth Chou Simons to talk about trusting God in seasons that feel slow, hidden, or uncertain. Ruth shares how some of the most meaningful work of her life was formed during the ordinary years of raising six boys, creating art during nap times, and learning to recognize God’s faithfulness in everyday moments. We talk about navigating waiting seasons, quieting anxious thoughts, discerning God’s timing, and what it looks like to live faithfully without rushing ahead. This conversation is a grounded reminder that even when life feels slow or unclear, God is still at work — forming, preparing, and doing things beneath the surface that we don’t always see right away.

    108: What to Eat, When to Eat, & How to Eat It (Without Spending Hours in the Kitchen) | Jazz Leaf

    If you’ve ever hit 6 p.m. and thought, what am I even making for dinner?—or saved a “healthy” recipe that looked amazing… then skipped it because it had 27 ingredients - this episode is for you. Today I’m joined by recipe developer and content creator Jazz Leaf (who I jokingly call the Air Fryer Queen). She’s known for 30-minute meals with 10 ingredients or less, and her approach is simple, protein-forward, and genuinely doable in real life- especially if you want to feel better without cooking becoming a second job. In this conversation, we break down what a protein-forward day of eating can actually look like, how to simplify meal prep without overhauling your whole routine, and what to look for when choosing protein powders (including how to spot common hidden sugars). We also talk gluten and dairy, why bio-individuality matters, and practical ways to build balanced meals that support steady energy and stable blood sugar. If you want meals that support your body and your life, this episode will show you what that can look like - without the overwhelm.
