    #4023 Motherhood, Healing, and an Adventurous Life with Jesus: A Conversation with Ashley Cole

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Healing the City, Pastor Susan Cepin interviews Ashley Cole.

    Ashley and her husband, Dave, came to the Village in an unusual way, and their life has been anything but ordinary. Ashley shares what it is like to be a mother of four little girls, to be married to a pilot, and to build a family life that is full, adventurous, and rooted in Jesus.

    She also reflects on the healing God has brought into her life and into the life of her family. This is a relational and encouraging conversation about motherhood, marriage, faith, and learning to follow Jesus in the middle of a very real life.

    #4021 Project Bible: The Prequel to The Chariot's of Fire (Elijah and Elisha)

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this Healing the City podcast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Mark have a Bible Project–style conversation about the events leading up to Elijah being taken into heaven. They talk through the story of Ahab, Elijah, Elisha, and the chariots of fire, paying close attention to Elisha’s response as his mentor is taken from him.

    The conversation covers some fascinating parts of Israel’s story, including Ahab’s role as king, Elijah’s prophetic calling, and the strange beauty of a prophet who does not die but is carried away by God. It is thoughtful, layered, and a little funny, especially because both pastors are clearly tired while trying to make sense of one of the Bible’s wildest scenes.

    #4015 March Replay: Adrienne and Bentley - Playgrounds and Friendships

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome, friends, to this episode of the Healing the City Podcast, where I had the privilege of engaging in a truly transformational conversation with the remarkable Adrienne Crawford. In this episode, we explore the profound challenges and joys of raising a child with Down syndrome, and how Adrienne and her family have been called to navigate a world that can often be unwelcoming and isolating.

    Through her heart-wrenching and inspiring story, Adrienne takes us on a journey of discovery, inviting us to lean into the hard truths of disability and motherhood. We learn about the unique struggles and triumphs of Bentley, her beloved son, and how he has taught her to see the world through a new lens of compassion and grace.

    As we look deeper into Adrienne's passion for creating a more accessible and inclusive world, we witness the remarkable courage and determination that has fueled her journey. With a fierce dedication to building meaningful and lasting friendships for Bentley, Adrienne shows us what it means to live a life of love, integrity, and purpose.

    This episode is not simply a story of overcoming adversity, but a powerful call to action for all of us to stand in solidarity with those who are often marginalized and excluded. It is a reminder that true healing and transformation can only happen when we are willing to lean into the uncomfortable and messy parts of life, and work together to create a world that is more just and equitable for all.

    So join us, friends, as we explore the beautiful and complex journey of disability, motherhood, education, and life, and discover how we can all play a part in bringing healing and wholeness to our communities.
