    Ian Simkins | Every Table an Altar: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World

    We live in a world where we’re constantly connected, yet loneliness, distraction, and division can leave us feeling more disconnected than ever. What if one of the places we can begin rebuilding meaningful connection is right at our own table? Pastor and author Ian Simkins joins us to talk about his new book, Every Table an Altar: Reclaiming Connection in a World of Division, Distraction, and Loneliness. Ian looks at the way Jesus used the table as a place of welcome, relationship, and transformation, and what that can teach us about being truly present with God and with one another. In this conversation, we talk about: Why so many of us feel lonely and disconnected What the tables of Jesus teach us about connection and belonging How distraction is affecting our ability to be present with one another Why the table can become a sacred place in our everyday lives Making room for people who are different from us The difference between entertaining and truly welcoming people How ordinary meals can become opportunities for deeper relationship Practical ways to create more meaningful connection in our homes and communities You don’t need a perfect home or an elaborate meal to make room for people. Ian reminds us that something as ordinary as sitting down together can become an opportunity to slow down, pay attention, welcome others, and experience the presence of God in everyday life.

    Jen Wilkin | Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World

    Jen Wilkin joins us to talk about aging wisely in a culture that tells us to resist getting older at every turn. In her new book, Dust to Dust: Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World, Jen challenges the false stories we’ve absorbed about aging and invites us to see the entire arc of life through the lens of Scripture. In this conversation, we talk about: The false story our culture tells us about aging How anti-aging messages shape the way we see ourselves—and the elderly The unique perspective of midlife Caring for our bodies without making the preservation of youth the goal What weakness can teach us about dependence on God Why older believers are indispensable to the church Learning to see growing older as a gift How to number our days and pursue wisdom in every season of life Whether you’re in your twenties, navigating midlife, or well into your later years, this conversation offers a biblical and hopeful way to think about the age you are—and the days God has given you.

    Ann White | The Seven Steps of Courage

    On this episode of The Next Faith-Filled Step, Sunny Cain sits down with author and speaker Ann White to talk about what it really looks like to walk in courage-not in theory, but in real life. So often, we carry struggles quietly—hiding shame, fear, insecurity, or pain—trying to manage it on our own. But what happens when what we’re carrying starts to feel too heavy to hold? What happens when hiding is no longer working? Ann shares her personal story of moving from a life of hidden struggles and emotional baggage into a place of healing and freedom. Through her journey, she reveals how courage begins with bringing what’s hidden into the light—first before God, and often with a trusted person. In this conversation, we talk about: Healing from emotional pain, shame, and insecurity The courage it takes to be honest about what we’re carrying The power of confession and bringing struggles into the light Ann’s “Seven Steps to Courage” and how to begin walking them out This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of trying to hold it all together alone. There is freedom on the other side of courage—and it often begins with one honest step.
