    093 - Encore Episode - - Susie Larson: Wake Up To God’s Goodness

    While God does allow suffering, there’s nothing He allows that He doesn’t redeem. That’s a truth author and podcaster Susie Larson had to come to grips with when she processed her emotion over what God had allowed her to face. Disappointment comes naturally when the "good life" lets us down. Discouragement is understandable when we face life's struggles. In all of that, the goodness of God is trustworthy, life-giving, and everlasting. Jesus wants to lead you on a healing path to redeem your story and to make you whole. Susie’s latest resource is a 40-day devotional called, Waking Up to the Goodness of God: 40 Days Toward Healing & Wholeness. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYYYD158?ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_3JBJQ8VX0ZVBB4N566K9&tag=mobilea0e898c-20&linkCode=kpe

    092 - Kristine Fischer: Don’t Get Comfortable

    Over the past six years, Kristine Fischer has become the face of bass fishing. She’s been on television, her social media following is massive and she is always a favorite to win any kayak fishing competition But, Kristine Fischer is catching more than prize-winning fish. She’s catching attention and drawing an audience that’s not necessarily familiar with how to win a fishing tournament. Why? It’s how she carries herself. Fischer has been called a force for good.  What caught our attention about Kristine? It was her very proud dad who told us how this bass angler who grew up in small town Nebraska always gives glory to God when she has an audience on her growing platform. As a fisher of fish, God may also be using her to point others to THE fisher of souls.

    091 - Encore Episode - - Nathan Harris: Gospel Generosity

    We live in a possession and money obsessed culture where the average American has far more than they need. Yet, many of us feel incredibly insecure, and we grasp tightly to what we have and continue trying to gain more. This impacts both how we think about our God-given resources and our willingness to be generous with what God has given us to steward. In his book, Gospel Generosity, Nathan Harris points to the Gospel as the source of life transformation that enables us to turn our focus from ourselves to others and to follow the way of Jesus.  Harris calls Gospel generosity a way of giving that is rooted in the saving work of Jesus Christ. It is the Christian’s joyful awareness of what Christ has done for us and how we are privileged to participate in proclaiming that work through giving and advancing the Gospel.

    088 - Encore Episode - - Jason Young: Don’t Burn Out, Burn Bright

    Pastors and ministry leaders are some of the hardest-working people in the world--and they have a high rate of burnout to prove it. Leaders that aren't operating at peak efficiency and, also taking care of themselves, are setting themselves up for a crash. The reality is, few in ministry feel they have the time to take a sabbatical or tend to their own physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. But healthy rhythms of work and rest are the key to a thriving, long-term ministry. In their book, Don’t Burn Out, Burn Bright, Jason Young and Jonathan Malm put their years of ministry leadership and consulting experience together to show us how to fine-tune leadership and organize life in such a way that you can become a high-capacity leader without the exhaustion and discouragement so many feel.

    087 - Brady Boyd: Unity Takes Effort

    Church is a place for meaningful connection—a like-minded community which worships, prays, and participates together for the singular purpose of glorifying God. If King David’s words from Psalm 133:1 are to be believed –– “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” –– unity can exist. Attaining and maintaining this isn’t easy. The apostle Paul had to remind the church to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3). In his book, Life-Minded, Pastor Brady Boyd draws our attention to the reality of that text by pointing out it does take effort to stay unified with our spiritual family. Effort takes commitment. It takes persistence. It takes hope. Speaking both truth and grace, Pastor Brady offers 8 practical challenges to put peaceable unity into action.

    086 - Encore Episode - - Bryan Clark: God’s NOT Like That

    Many of us long for the abundant life Jesus promised, but instead we feel stagnant and frustrated in our faith. More of us cultivate our view of God from our family of origin than from the pages of the Bible—and a faulty view of God will always be a barrier to a satisfying spiritual life. Bryan Clark has served in pastoral ministry in Nebraska for more than 40 years. In that time, he’s observed a lot of, as he says, “messed up” views of God. In his unique and interactive book God’s Not Like That, our guest returns us to Scripture on a step-by-step journey to identify and then correct our misconceptions about God.  Listen for specific ways our childhood influences our beliefs today and how to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to personal beliefs. Order Bryan’s book here: https://www.christianbook.com/not-like-redeeming-inherited-beliefs-finding/bryan-clark/9780830784394/pd/784395?event=ESRCG
