Have you ever felt the tug of yearning for deeper spiritual roots amidst the chaos of your day-to-day life? Andrew McLennan, once a sheep farmer and now a city pastor, joins us from Faith Boost - Ancient Secrets for the Modern World podcast to share his compelling transformation and how the timeless wisdom of the Bible can fuel our modern existence. Together, we examine how to thread God's Word throughout the intricacies of our busy lives, finding solace in faith over life's distractions.

Our conversation with Andrew takes us on a journey through the richness of Scripture, as we tackle complex issues like gender identity and the essence of male and female partnership, illuminated by the Creation narrative. We hear about the profound impact of Biblical teachings on individuals in remote areas, highlighting the power of faith in combatting isolation and mental health struggles. The talk is a potent mix of personal testimony and practical advice, emphasizing the importance of prayer, worship, and community in nurturing our spiritual walk, even when our calendars are bursting.

Wrapping up our time together, Andrew draws parallels between the guidance athletes receive and the mentorship we can find within the church. We discuss the vital threefold relationship dynamic - with mentors, peers, and new believers – and its role in personal growth and furthering God's kingdom. Emphasizing actionable steps like carving out specific times for Bible study, seeking accountability, and consistently attending church, we aim to empower you to fortify your faith life. It's a heartfelt exchange, full of encouragement, leaving you inspired to embrace a day filled with the joy of faith and the simple pleasure of Scripture.

Have you ever felt the weight of cravings so intense that they seem to dictate every decision you make? Angie Haskell, acclaimed author of "Sugar Coated: Finding Sweet Release from Cravings that Control Us," graces our podcast with her compelling story of triumph over the shackles of desire.

Have you ever felt like you're in a never-ending battle with comparison and self-doubt? Jenn Schultz, the compassionate author behind "She's Not Your Enemy," joins us to share her journey from a people-pleaser trapped in the pursuit of perfection to someone who's found her true worth through faith. Together, we navigate the treacherous undercurrents of insecurity, jealousy, and loneliness - all while learning to anchor ourselves in the truth of who we are in God's eyes.

Scripture offers us a sanctuary, a place where we can silence the noise of comparison and hear the voice of our truest ally. In our deep and vulnerable conversation, Jenn and I discuss the strength we can draw from passages like Psalm 103 and Ephesians 1, using them as a compass to guide our way back to our true identity. We also examine the Armor of God, not as a suit for battle against our peers, but as a reminder to stand firm against the real challenges of life, enveloping ourselves in compassion and understanding for those around us.

Ending on a note of hope and joy, we consider the power of faith to overcome rejection and conflict, finding fulfillment in the communities we build and the roles we play within God's Kingdom.

Have you ever wrestled with the constraints life throws at you or experienced limitations that seem to fence you in? Wondering where grace fits into the picture and asking the question, are there blessings in the boundaries of our lives? Sara Hagerty, a writer of deep insight and experience, joins us in a profound exploration of finding peace amidst boundaries of personal trials, from infertility to the challenges of understanding God's love in times of stillness. Her candid stories serve as a testament to the surprising ways grace manifests in our lives, especially when we're grappling with the weight of feeling we have too much and yet not enough.

Sarah and I discuss the importance of honoring our limits, in everything we do from physical activities to finances to parenting. Through her story of ambition clashing with reality, we shed light on the realism in navigating life's challenges—a journey not just about reaching goals but also learning from the detours.

In the final segment, we delve into the connection between our emotions, self-awareness, and the pace at which we live our lives.  Our conversation invites listeners to slow down, listen to the signals of our limitations, and discover the power of presence in the narratives unfolding in our lives.

Join Sara and me for a conversation that will not only move you but might also reshape the way you view the quiet spaces where grace resides.

Have you ever felt a deep-seated yearning for divine companionship, a sense that something greater is perpetually by your side? This episode, graced by the insightful Cody Andras, author of "Jesus by Her Side," invites you into a heartfelt exploration of this spiritual hunger, as we traverse the remarkable encounters of women with Jesus in the Gospels. Through my own journey of vocational twists and faith-stirred decisions, I uncover the beauty of God's personalized touch in our lives, mirroring the individual moments of faith portrayed in Scripture. Cody's transition from business to bibliology exemplifies the profound importance of laying all our paths before God, affirming His care for each unique stride we take.

Tuning in, you'll witness the poignant narrative of Mary Magdalene and her transformative encounter with the resurrected Christ—a story that encourages us to advance in faith, leaving behind the comfort of past spiritual peaks. We discuss the empowering story of Mary and Elizabeth, whose bond exemplifies the support we can find within our own communities amid life's singular trials. These stories serve as an anchor, reaffirming the unwavering truth of God's constancy, even when His presence feels distant or intangible.

Embarking on the final moments of our discussion, I invite you to explore the myriad of avenues through which we can connect with Jesus—be it through the whispers of nature, the harmony of music, or the sacred texts that chronicle humanity's intersection with God. We look at the earnestness of biblical women, like the bleeding woman's raw pursuit of healing and Mary and Martha's lessons of service and devotion, imploring you to bring the same sincerity to your own spiritual quest. Whether through Scripture reflection or prayerful solitude, Cody and I share our most cherished practices and resources, ultimately guiding you to a more profound closeness with Jesus that reaches beyond the pages of the Bible.

Uncover the hidden layers of envy with Dr. Mike Fabarez in a profound exploration of this stealthy sin's grip on our personal and communal well-being. We sit with the esteemed author of "Envy: A Big Problem You Didn't Know You Had" to dissect the historical roots and biblical narratives that underscore envy's destructive power. Through our engaging conversation, gain invaluable insights into how envy has not just shaped individual lives but also influenced societal dynamics throughout the ages.

Feel the weight of envy lift as we discuss the significance of fostering contentment and celebrate the antidote found in our relationship with God. Dr. Fabarez and I reflect on Cain and Abel's tale and other scriptural lessons to highlight the importance of gratitude in overcoming the corrosive effects of envy on our hearts and relationships. Listeners will find encouragement to embark on a journey toward selfless love by acknowledging our blessings and reframing our perspectives, steering clear of the bitterness that can arise from harmful comparisons.

Wrap up this enlightening discussion with a look at how envy can distort the social landscape, sparking discourse on neo-Marxist ideologies and the quest for societal equality. Dr. Fabarez and I tackle the tough questions, such as whether the redistribution of wealth can truly quell societal discontent, and provide spiritual strategies to counteract envy, including embracing divine love and fostering gratitude. Join us for this episode, and walk away equipped with the wisdom to rise above envy and cultivate a life of love and contentment.

Embark on an enlightening quest with Lee Strobel, renowned investigative journalist, and former skeptic turned devout Christian, as he lays out a compelling case for the existence of God and the reality of Jesus's resurrection. In an era where life's biggest questions often lead to more confusion than clarity, Lee's analytical approach cuts through the noise, presenting an investigative perspective that has deeply resonated with my faith journey. Our conversation dives into the toughest challenges faced by believers, from the mystery of God's hiddenness to the ever-present reality of human suffering, all while drawing from Lee's transformative experiences and celebrated works such as "Is God Real?" and "The Case for Christ."

The intricacies of faith and doubt are unraveled, not through blind acceptance but through rigorous research and candid dialogues with prominent atheists and skeptics. As we explore the surge in spiritual curiosity among today's youth, set against a backdrop of increasing mental health struggles, Lee Strobel's insights reveal a growing trend of conversions to Christianity. His encounters with figures like Anthony Flew and Charles Templeton serve to fortify his convictions, offering listeners a testament to the power of an unwavering belief borne from critical examination and expert testimony.

The discussion extends to the profound philosophical questions surrounding God's role in human suffering, providing solace and understanding through personal stories and theological perspectives. As we consider the delicate balance God maintains in revealing himself, we equip our listeners with the intellectual and spiritual tools needed to both defend their faith and invite others into these profound truths.
