    Episode 224 - Insights on Hospitality & Trusting God When Life Hurts

    In this Insights episode, Laura and I unpack some of the big themes from Emma Robinson’s interview - from hospitality and opening our homes to others, to the much harder questions we wrestle with when life doesn’t go the way we hoped. Laura talks about spending time in the Word and shares about her miscarriage. We also discuss infertility, grief and the question “What happens to babies who die in the womb?”, as well as what it looks like to trust God when we don’t understand why something has happened. We chat about finding peace in the middle of pain, caring well for friends who are grieving, and remembering that our purpose isn’t dependent on whether we become a Mum, a wife, or achieve the plans we had for our lives. It’s a deep one, but we hope it points you back to the goodness, nearness and faithfulness of God. 💛 Click here to watch this episode on YouTube.  0:00 – Coming Up 0:40 – Welcome & Recap 2:23 – Laura’s Initial Thoughts 2:43 – Troll Comments 4:52 – The July Bible Challenge & Prioritising Time in the Word 12:19 – Hospitality & Opening Our Homes 20:00 – Christa’s Highlights from the Episode 22:07 – Is There a Reason for Suffering? & How God Brings Good from Suffering 24:22 – Purpose & What We Believe About God 28:48 – Laura Shares About Losing Her Twin Babies in the Womb 31:05 – Have You Ever Experienced God’s Perfect Peace? 34:33 – What NOT to Say to Someone Who Has Miscarried 37:00 – You Are Still a Mum, Even If You’ve Never Birthed a Living Baby 38:00 – Are Miscarried Babies Growing Up in Heaven? 47:10 – Closing Comments from Christa Support the show Outside of Sunday is part of the Outsider Network and is made with the help of Inspirational Media.

    Episode 223 - Bold Prayers & Being a Woman in Ministry: Emma Robinson, Part 2

    In Part 2 of my conversation with Emma Robinson, we’re getting into some of the harder and more faith-stretching parts of her story - learning to pray bold prayers while still trusting God with the outcome, navigating seasons of waiting, and finding purpose even when life doesn’t look the way you hoped it would. We also talk about the words that can hurt when you’re walking through infertility, and why sometimes simply showing up, listening and acknowledging someone’s loss can mean so much. We also dive into Emma’s calling to speak and preach, what it has looked like navigating ministry as a woman when others don’t share the same convictions - people have even walked out while she was speaking. Through all of it, Emma’s heart is to follow God’s call, use the gifts He’s given her and point people back to Jesus. I loved this conversation and I hope it encourages you today!

    Episode 222 - Thinking Matters Conference Wrap-Up

    In this episode, Laura and I are taking you behind the scenes of the Thinking Matters No Rivals conference in Auckland! We chat about some of our highlights from the weekend - from meeting the next generation of Christian thinkers to hearing from speakers like Annaliese and Nic Blackie, Dave Mann, Dr Luke Barnes and Abdu Murray, and recording some really great conversations along the way. More than anything, we left the weekend so encouraged by what God is doing in the Christian space here in New Zealand. We talk about the importance of knowing why we believe what we believe, equipping the next generation, reaching people rather than rejecting them, and being willing to engage our nation with the gospel. We hope this episode leaves you encouraged and looking forward to the episode to come - we can't wait to share them with you!!

    Episode 221 - Faith, Infertility & Unexplainable Peace: Emma Robinson, Part 1

    What happens when the life you thought you’d have doesn’t go according to plan? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Emma Robinson from Your Jesus Time to hear her story of growing up in a Christian home, coming to personally understand the gospel, studying at Bible college, meeting her husband, and finding your purpose in God.  Emma also shares vulnerably about her journey of trying to start a family, the questions and disappointment that came with waiting, and the moment she realised that her purpose couldn’t be dependent on becoming a mum. Then, in a deeply moving part of her story, she shares about losing her baby during the launch week of Your Jesus Time - and the unexplainable peace she and her husband experienced in the middle of their grief. This is a conversation about disappointment, purpose, lament, hope, and what it looks like to trust that God is still faithful when you can’t see what’s next.

    Episode 220 - Insights on Modesty, Postpartum & Trusting God

    In this week’s Insights episode, Laura and I are talking honestly about motherhood, postpartum struggles and trusting God through the changing seasons of life. Laura shares her own experience with postpartum depression as we discuss the heartbreaking Lindsay Clancy case, the challenges many new mothers face, and the importance of support, understanding and taking postpartum mental health seriously. We also reflect on the bittersweet reality of seasons coming to an end. As Laura prepares for her youngest child to start school, we talk about motherhood, identity, laying down passions for a season and remembering that the things God has placed in your heart don’t necessarily disappear forever. Motherhood is a season asks a lot from us - but the season isn’t forever. Plus, we unpack the Cory Asbury and Forrest Frank shirtless photo controversy and share our thoughts on modesty, personal responsibility and avoiding judgment. We also discuss what to do when you're facing a big decision and God doesn’t seem to be giving you a clear answer. Wherever you find yourself right now, we hope this conversation encourages you to trust God with the season you’re in - and with whatever comes next.

    Episode 218 - Insights on Teen Dating: Should Christians Date Young?

    In this Insights episode, Laura and I are talking teen dating! After reflecting on Aleisha's story of growing up in a Christian home and navigating dating, we're chatting about the blessings of a Christian heritage and teen dating - should Christians date young?? We get into the big conversation: what should Christian dating actually look like? Is having a crush wrong? How do we talk to our kids about relationships and dating without making the conversation awkward or shame-filled? We unpack boundaries, waiting, treating one another with purity, and why the goal of dating should ultimately be marriage - not simply having a relationship. We also look at what the Bible says about love, wisdom, sexual purity and “not awakening love before its time.” This is a relaxed but honest conversation about Christian dating, teen relationships, parenting, marriage and trusting God’s timing - and hopefully one that gives you plenty to think about whether you’re single, dating, married, or raising kids.

    Episode 217 - My Millennial Christian Dating Experience: Aleisha Liebezeit, Part 1

    I’m joined by Aleisha Liebezeit for a fun and very honest conversation about growing up Christian and the tangle of Christian dating. We’re reminiscing on growing up as a millennial Christian, making her faith her own as a teenager, and even how she “stalked” her future husband and got his number at 13! But behind the funny stories is a much deeper conversation about teenage relationships, heartbreak, and learning to keep God at the centre. We talk about getting emotionally dependent on another person, dating non-Christians, the influence of romantic books and movies, and what Aleisha now thinks about “not awakening love before its time.” We also chat about prayer and the beautiful reminder that God cares about the little things in our lives. This is an honest, funny and encouraging conversation about faith, relationships and trusting God with our desires.
