    Talking with God

    Angee Robertson knows a thing or two about communicating with God.  Having navigated some difficult trials during her life, including infertility and her husband's illness, she has become acutely aware of God's desire to interact with and support her.  To that end, she has honed in on some creative ways to communicate with her Father.  We discuss the power of words, and how we tend to focus on the negative, doubting God, communicating with God through journaling, having authority in Christ, tapping into the Holy Spirit, the importance of knowing God's character, different ways the Holy Spirit communicates with us, and so much more!  You can have daily, intimate interactions with God; listen to learn how.

    Serving Those Who Serve

    What does the most fulfilling retirement look like?  Our guest Chris Marquardt offers an excellent picture of that: he has made an intentional geographical move with his wife of 36 years to a corner of the world that gives him peace and happiness.  He has learned a new skill, bee-keeping, that has helped him through his own PTSD, having served in the military for 24 years.  And he has found a way to share this passion and healing with other veterans.  This is an expansive conversation covering how to stay married for 36 years, deciding to make a move, building a new community, how he entered into bee-keeping, all of the details about keeping hives, how he began sharing this fascinating passion with other veterans, and his suggestions for building a great retirement.  Share this episode with others who seek to shape a meaningful retirement through service!

    Headed Toward Heaven

    What's it like to walk with someone who is dying?  And what lessons can we learn from this experience of witnessing someone passing from this world into the next?  Enjoy an interview with an extraordinary doctor, Reggie Anderson, as he shares these truths with us.  We talk about how a horrific event in his young life separated him from God, despite having grown up in a faith-filled home.  He shares how meeting his future wife and studying medicine played key roles in returning him to a relationship with God.  Dr. Anderson shares what it's like to walk with the dying, including unexpected details, and how he has learned to diagnose through the power of human touch.  We discuss how to press into faith even through challenges, making it to the other side of tragedy, and why he believes God allows calamities to occur in our lives.  He also touches on doing the work God has called you to do, and why we should learn about living and dying from God's word. This episode will surely bring comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one, and assurance to all of us in navigating our final journey.   Appointments with Heaven: The True Story of a Country Doctor's Healing Encounters with the Hereafter, Dr. Reggie Anderson

    When A Nobody Says "YES!"

    Self-described "nobody," Barbara Demorest, describes how a personal encounter with cancer inspired her to find a solution for a common problem facing breast cancer victims.  She said "Yes," when many others may have taken a pass.  We talk about walking through open doors, not stressing when a door closes, the hazards of putting limits upon ourselves, how impostor syndrome impacts our ability to step forward, beginning with little steps, how to equip and inspire others, dealing with criticism, the symbiotic nature of giving/receiving, why caring is critical, humility and staying on guard against pride, suffering in order to transform, trusting and having faith even in adversity, how encouragement speaks life into people, and how God uses the nobody's.  Barb is certainly not a "nobody" to thousands of women across the globe, and you'll love finding out what a special somebody she is!   knittedknockers.org
