The Wonder Podcast The Wonder Podcast with Chrissie Dunham and Lisa Clark

We were thrilled to chat with Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore about their new prayerbook, “Liturgies for Hope–60 Prayers for the Highs, the Lows, and Everything in Between.”We want to be their best friends. Let’s get that out there. They are full of JOY AND PURPOSE!
This book started“as an act of defiance against fear.” They were great friends, living in NYC in March 2020 as Covid-19 swept the world. They watched as their friends, colleagues, fellow Believers, and neighbors fought isolation, sickness, and worry. God started to give them words of comfort and peace, and they wrote them down. 
When we say the book is honest and holy, we mean it. There is a liturgy for anything and everything. If you’ve felt, hoped, or experienced it, there’s a prayer. And the best part is each liturgy is accompanied by the scripture that led them to write. This book is a marvelous ministry and will spur you on spiritually and meet you where you are.
Order the book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or you can hear them read it on Audible! Get your copy today!

Maria Bower shares her testimony of faith in this episode. All we can say is buckle up! God does a work in her heart and uses Chrissie in the process. Maria was searching, tired of religion, and wanted a relationship. And God answered her prayers.
 
From her first prayer for direction and clarity to her everyday prayers, she unrelentingly trusts God. She doesn’t question His plan for her life or her family’s, and she walks confidently because of His love for her. She is a woman of deep faith.
 
We loved hearing about Maria’s faith journey so much that we ran out of time! But she wanted to ensure our listeners were reminded of two things: Maria reminds us NOT to get discouraged in our daily bible reading. No time to read? Then listen!
 
God doesn’t want to guilt us into spending time with Him. As a desire of our heart, we want to spend time with Him, and sometimes listening to His word in the car, on a walk, or at home is the best way to “hear” from Him! She also reminds us not to lean on our own understanding. We’ll never see the whole picture as God does, so we’ll never understand everything that happens in this world.
 
Rest in Him today!

Pray, Wait, Repeat with Megan DobbsAiring2/9/23Megan Dobbs lives in NYC and is the women’s minister at her church in Queens. If you ask her how she got there, she’d probably say, “Lots of prayers. And lots of waiting.”
A former schoolteacher, Megan felt the pull to move to NYC in 2016. The life lessons Megan learned in the waiting (she didn’t move to NYC until the summer of 2022) were worth it. Her prayer life has developed and soared, as has her confidence in the Lord. Growing up in the church, a preacher’s kid, prayer was something she learned about early on, and it was just what church kids did. They prayed.
But her prayer life took a giant leap forward during this 6-year waiting period, as she felt the shift from a check-in-the-box daily prayer to a conversation and friendship with the Lord. 
She learned to listen more and talk less.“If I checked in with someone daily, we wouldn’t get very close or deep in our relationship.” That’s when she realized what she had been doing with God. Checking in. She wanted more. 
Megan also shares her heart on unanswered prayer and how she continues to pray while living out her calling. This is a very thought-provoking episode full of hard and good truths. I can’t wait for you to listen. Let us know your thoughts.

When we sat down with our team to discuss 2023, we knew we wanted to make some changes.
We’re celebrating 5 years of The Wonder Podcast, and change is good, right?
So, to change it up a bit, we decided to do 4 seasons of episodes this year. We knew our first season needed to be foundational, so we landed on PRAYER. This season will cover the mechanics of prayer, if you will, as well as waiting while you pray, fasting, and developing a heart for prayer. We’re excited, and we hope you are, too!
So, today’s episode is about Chrissie and Lisa discussing their personal prayer journeys and thoughts on finding peace through prayer. As a spiritual discipline, they admit prayer is their most challenging practice. What about you?

“May we thrive on the Bread of Life or starve on the crumbs of this world.” -- Anonymous
We hope you’ll join along as we study the letters from John to the new Believers in Ephesus (western Turkey) and Asia. These letters were meant to encourage and strengthen the Church in their Christian life.  It’s hard for us to comprehend not knowing how to act “Christian” since most of us have grown up in the church and have Bibles in every room of our homes.  But the first-century Christians had neither.  These letters gave them life.  
 
Written by John, one of the OG disciples, in his latter years, these letters are shorter in length than his first, the gospel according to John. They emphasize the need to obey God’s commands while focusing on the love of God for us and our need to love one another as proof of our love for God.  
 
We love to study God’s word.  We hope you’re encouraged and spurred on as we discuss these books of the Bible.  May His word continue to shape us, change us and move us toward obedience.
