    Episode 111: Bridgett Blood on Singleness, Dating, Sex & Maintaining Values

    It's Valentine's Day, so what better time to talk about all things singleness, dating, and sex? My guest this week, Bridgett Blood, is here to provide some unique perspectives on all of these topics. Bridgett lives in Nashville, Tennessee and is a certified Connection Codes coach, speaker, and host of the Recover Your Life Podcast. She helps Christian singles, dating, and engaged couples understand their sexual story, and build relationships that align with their core values.  Through her coaching and group programs, Bridgett creates spaces for honest conversations about faith, sexuality, and emotional health — empowering her clients to move toward the life and relationships they truly desire. With a background in pastoral leadership and a passion for trauma-informed discipleship, Bridgett understands the tension of holding both faith and desire. Her approach is rooted in curiosity and emotional safety, helping others reconnect with their wholeness. You'll hear me talk on this episode about how much I appreciate her social media content, so I highly recommend giving her a follow on Instagram @bridgettblood. You can links to all of her other resources, including her brand new free E-book on boundaries, right here: https://stan.store/bridgettblood I'd also love for you to connect with me on Substack on "The Road Ahead": ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠coledouglasclaybourn.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Episode 110: Author Hannah Brencher on Unplugging

    One of my favorite people, Hannah Brencher, is back on the podcast this week to talk about her new book: "The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World." If you're anything like me, you spend way more time than you should on social media. And if not social media, then you likely struggle to get away from the constant barrage of push notifications, text messages, emails and phone calls that bombard our devices. Perhaps it's left you feeling burnt out. That was the case for Hannah, and in the Spring of 2021 she realized the culprit was her constantly plugged-in lifestyle. Like so many of us, Hannah had been turning to her phone to cope with life in a time of isolation and uncertainty. Those coping mechanisms had calcified into habits she didn't know how to break. She felt a nudge to turn off her phone, and soon after a challenge was born: 1,000 unplugged hours in one year. She shared her tracker sheet on her website and thousands of people downloaded it and signed up for their own 1,000-hour challenge. What started out as a personal journey and practice for Hannah is now laid out in this practical book, which is released September 17. You can purchase the book anywhere books are sold. And while she advocates for an unplugged lifestyle, she knows it's not practical for us live a completely tech-free life. Plus, there are plenty of benefits to tech, and social media, it's just a matter of keeping them in their proper place. But in that vein, you can find her on Instagram @hannahbrencher, where she shares tons of practical and helpful content, and also on her website, hannahbrenchercreative.com, where you can sign up for her weekly email list, read blogs, sign up for courses and even get some freebies.

    Episode 109: Blythe & William Daniel on Honoring and Appreciating Fathers

    As Father's Day approaches, it's a good time to reflect on our own fathers or father figures in our lives and let them know how much we appreciate them. As Blythe Daniel and her son, William, remind us in this week's conversation, fathers often go unappreciated. But their new book, "I Love You, Dad: Words to Honor and Humor You," is aimed at letting fathers know how much they're loved while pointing readers to our Heavenly father. Written along with Helen McIntosh, Blythe's mother, this book is somewhat of a companion book to one that Blythe and Helen wrote in 2022 called, "I Love You, Mom: Cherished Word Gifts from My Heart to Yours." This was such a fun episode because Blythe is my literary agent and this was William's second time on the podcast after he was on in 2023 talking about his book, "You're Joking Me," a joke book for kids. I was also honored to be asked to write an endorsement for this book! In this conversation, we reflect on the role of a father, how children can honor God while honoring their parents, and ways to show appreciation this Father's Day season. You can purchase this book through endgamepress.com as well as Amazon and ChristianBook.com. You can connect with Blythe and Helen through ourmendedhearts.com, and Blythe is on Instagram @blythe.daniel and Blythe McIntosh Daniel on Facebook. You can follow William @thewilliamdanielauthor on Instagram and Thewilliamdaniel on Facebook.

    Episode 108: Callie Picardo on a Healthy Money Mindset

    I'm excited to welcome back a repeat guest this week as Callie Picardo joins me to talk about the latest book she and her husband, Rosario, wrote called, "Healthy Money: A 30-Day Journey Toward Spiritual, Emotional, and Financial Freedom." Our book isn't just about financial tips; it dives into the emotional and spiritual sides of money, offering a fresh perspective on financial freedom. Through this 30-day guided journey, "Healthy Money" challenges readers to explore their money mindset, revealing the deep-seated beliefs and emotions that influence their financial decisions. It's a tool for profound healing, aimed at transforming one's financial life from the inside out. I also encourage you take the Healthy Money Mindset Assessment, which can help you on your journey to financial health and freedom: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QK36T7R?fbclid=IwAR0yVzunGwI3VTJ3eGwzfKVFyrIs18lL3d313PC2OhwfBnCBYBvQI-outys Roz and Callie were on Episode 75 where we talked about their previous book, "Money Talks: A Biblical Take on Earning, Saving, Spending, and Giving," so be sure to check that out after this one: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-75-biblical-approaches-to-managing-your-money/id1489106099?i=1000538891235 They both have a podcast together — The Better Together Podcast — which I recommend listening to along with reading their book.

    Episode 107: Ashley Abercrombie on Authenticity, Vulnerability & Slowing Down

    Do you ever follow someone on social media and just know you would vibe with them in real life? That's how I feel about this week's guest, Ashley Abercrombie. We've been following each other on the internet for a year or so, and I love her content and personality so much. And after my conversation with her this week, I love her story even more, and I know you will too. You may already be familiar with Ashley and her work as an author and speaker. She wrote Rise of the Truth Teller: Own Your Story, Tell it Like It Is, and Live with Holy Gumption in 2019, and Love Is the Resistance: Learn to Disagree, Resolve the Conflicts You've Been Avoiding, and Create Real Change in 2021. She's contributed to a variety of outlets, like RELEVANT and Virtue, she's the creator of After Hours on Substack and a co-host on the Why Tho Podcast. This week we talk about the right perspective on goal setting, the need for slowing down, being vulnerable, living authentically, and having tough conversations with grace.

    Episode 106: Celebrating Six Years of Marriage with My Wife Emily

    One of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is getting to sit down with my wife every year around our anniversary and reflect on the past year of our lives. After a few years of chaos, highlighted by a December 2021 tornado that displaced us for almost nine months, this past year has been marked by a lot of blessings and far less turmoil. We traveled to Europe, bought a house, started leading a small group at church and saw several of our friends get married and have children. We experienced professional and creative growth and made memories that will last a lifetime. I'm excited for 2024. If you're an avid reader, I encourage you to check out my wife's bookstagram, @emsalwaysreading, where she rates and reviews the books she reads. We also recorded an episode earlier this year (Episode 96) where Emily talked about the joy of reading and gave some of her favorite recommendations.

    Episode 105: Celebrating Four Years of "In No Hurry" with Ryan Ahlwardt

    In late October 2019, Ryan Ahlwardt and I sat down at a library near Indianapolis, Indiana to record the first episode of this podcast. Four years later, we're still going strong. As we've tried to do every year around the anniversary (we missed last year for some reason), Ryan and I reflected on the past year and celebrating the podcast turning another year older. If you're new to the show, the music you hear at the beginning and end was created by Ryan, a singer/songwriter who was previously a member of the highly acclaimed a capella group "Straight No Chaser." Ryan has become a good friend, and he's got some really cool life updates that he shares in this episode, including a new single called "Alone for Christmas" that you can listen to on any streaming platform. You can check out Ryan's music and social media at ryansongs.com.

    Episode 104: Sarah Maddack Bell on Not Taking Yourself Too Seriously

    Do you ever just make up silly songs just for fun when you're at home alone? I feel like a lot of us do, but rarely do we ever share them with the world. Well, right out when the pandemic hit, that's what Sarah Maddack Bell started doing. Now, several of her silly songs have gone viral and she's created a social media platform where she can spread positivity and joy. Her songs are goofy and a bit annoying — her words, not mine! And that's on purpose. It's all about not taking yourself too seriously and being willing to have and just be yourself. I so appreciate Sarah's perspective on life and how she followed a feeling to pursue what felt right and fun for her. Her story is one of faithfulness in God and using the talents — as silly as they may be — for the purpose God gave her. Also, as you may imagine, with such a public social media presence and one centered around what many may perceive as "dumb" and annoying songs, she's gotten a fair share of nasty messages. We get into that and how she's dealt with rude comments from strangers as well as staying grounded despite her platform growing. Check her on Instagram and TikTok @sarahmadbell. You can also find her music on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.
