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.

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.

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 Christâa 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 Jesusâbe 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.

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.

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."
Living God's Way in an Ungodly World
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.

Imagine finding the sacred in the routine, the holy in the hustle of daily tasks. That's the transformation Jordan Raynor, a compelling author, and dedicated father shares with us as we examine the deep connection between faith and work. His latest book, The Sacredness of Secular Work, championed by influential voices like the late Tim Keller, urges us to see our everyday labors through a divine lens, affirming their significance in the Christian narrative. Weave through Jordan's personal anecdotes of balancing the demands of fatherhood with the quest for spiritual harmony, and find yourself inspired to view your own work as an integral part of God's grand design.

We lay that doubt to rest by dismantling the misconception that the Great Commission is the only mission for believers. Jordan illuminates how every endeavor, when performed in pursuit of God's kingdom, becomes an act of sacred service. It's a refreshing perspective that elevates our understanding of vocation, celebrating the role that every job, from the boardroom to the stockroom, plays in shaping our eternal story.
