Autumn Miles Podcast

Our guest, Melanie Shankle, is here with us today to discuss her new book "On The Bright Side". The world today is filled with so much negativity and we can get into such a bad mindset being in it. However, Melanie shows us how to turn the other cheek in her book by looking at her stories of friendship, love and being true to yourself. Join us as we talk with her today.

We are celebrating today! This marks the 4 year anniversary of us being on air! Today, we're having a little fun with a Q&A session with our host Autumn Miles. Thank y'all so much for listening and being apart of our family!

Renowned Pediatrician, Dr. Meg Meeker, is on air with us today talking about her new book, ‘Raising a Strong Daughter in a Toxic Culture’. Through this book, Dr. Meeker addresses tough issues that our youth are facing, and how-to parent and guide them in the right direction. In a world that can be extremely harmful to our young girls, Dr. Meeker helps us guide our daughters to be happy, healthy and safe.

So many people make decisions because they are crippled with fear of others’ reactions.  But, if God leads you to make a decision, make it in the face of people, even good, loving people, who disagree with you.  God will take care of the consequences, vindicating you in the court of public opinion.

Neurosurgon, Dr. W Lee Waren Jr. is here to join us today. This incredibly accomplished guest is here to talk with us today on the topic of his new book ‘I’ve Seen the End of You’. Facing the horrors of Glioblastoma time after time, Dr. Warren came to a place where he began standing at the edge of knowing how the science would end, yet knowing the truth of His everlasting Word.

If you are spiritually weary, take inventory of your life to see if Satan has used something precious to you to steal your strength like he did with Samson. The Spirit of God is still with you and you can engage again.  The world needs you now more than ever to step into the power of God that is available to you. 

We are absolutely thrilled about our special guest who is living proof of the power of God. Melissa Ohden, a survivor of a failed abortion, shares on her miraculous story and how God has changed her life. Talking with us about her new book, 'You Carried Me,’ in this book, Melissa dives deep in her life on how she survived the failed procedure, the search for her birth mom, and the road of forgiveness towards her.

You must deal with the wounds and abuses of the past before you live securely in the present promises of God.  Use the story of Joshua and the Israelites conquering the enemies in Canaan as inspiration to deal with your own “enemies” that could be lurking in your promised land. Learn how to conquer those giants through prayer and Scripture in today’s podcast.  

Sometimes, we allow our thoughts to boss us around when we should be taking them captive. We need to be aware of our thoughts because wrong thought patterns can ruin our lives.  Ask God if your thoughts reflect what is ACTUALLY going on in your attitude toward yourself and others. Draw correction and redirection from Samson’s story in today’s podcast.  

God can sometimes gets blamed for “bad” or mundane life occurrences when He is actually positioning you to a place of answered prayer.  Joseph does not blame God when his life progresses from betrayal to slavery to imprisonment. He prayed and trusted God through the trials and God elevated Joseph to a place of greater impact; the same can be true for you.  

Today we are PUMPED to welcome back Jess Connolly to the show! We're so excited to jump into her new book 'You Are The Girl For The Job', as we see how she takes us deeper into daring to believe the God who calls you! Her heart behind this book is purely for women who have had to face the question of whether or not, to hide and quit or to move forward believing in God's power.  

Look in your life expectantly. God loves us so much that when we are “straining at the oars” of our life, He comes to help us; however, He may be present as something that doesn’t look like him. Look around your life.  Watch for Jesus. He may look like a “ghost” as he did to the disciples in the boat, but He is there. 

Today, we are so excited to welcome in the house, Kasey Van Norman for a two-part series. She’s an incredible author, licensed councilor, teacher, wife and mom! She joins us today to share her extremely raw testimony and the heart behind her latest book, Nothing Wasted. Kasey has been through the ringer between her dad leaving, having to break generational snares of communication, struggling with insecurities, being raped and molested, and she openly shares how God has revolutionized her story for His Glory.

We are back again with Kasey Van Norman for the second installment of our two-part series. She’s an incredible author, licensed counsellor, teacher, wife and mom! She joins us again today to share about her extremely raw testimony and the heart behind her latest book, Nothing Wasted. Trauma of any kind can fester and affect how we interact with God for years. In this book, Kasey takes us and shows us how every part of our past, when given to God, can set us free.

In a culture where our lives are built upon a pedestal of keeping busy, we’ve left no room to have a “spiritually vibrant life,” explains John Mark Comer. "Hurry is incompatible with the way of Jesus. The love, joy, and peace that form the nucleus of Jesus’ kingdom are all impossible in a life of speed.” Our guest today shares with us from his timely book, “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”. John Mark Comer is a pastor and author from Portland, Oregon who’s life ambition is to "be with Jesus, become like Him, and do what He did.” Listen in today and take a pause from the hurry.

Sometimes our circumstances worsen after we pray big, bold prayers, but don’t get angry and bitter with God. Draw encouragement and inspiration from Joseph’s story that God is not rejecting your prayers and dreams, but repositioning them for the greater. Trust His love and supreme goodness through the process.

Today, we are honored to have Becky Tompson on air with us! We are going to be talking her latest book and journal which are available now! One of the biggest questions we are asking today is, 'How do we balance motherhood, raising our children in the Lord, and still have quality time with Jesus?' Her latest devotional book, Truth Unchanging, is all about hearing God daily in the midst of motherhood. Join us today as we dig in deeper!

Elijah persisted in prayer for rain on Mt. Carmel, and the seventh time he prayed a small rain cloud appeared on the horizon.  Look for the “small cloud” answers to your prayers for a financial increases, marriage repairs, or any other matter pressing on your heart today! Don’t despise the “small cloud” answers; know that God is providing for you even in their seeming smallness.

On our show today we have a very special guest, Michelle Cushatt! She is here today telling us all about her newest book, 'Relentless'. In this book, she helps to answer the question, "How do you hold on to faith when faith itself seems lost?" Join us today as we dive into this raw topic. 

If people or opportunities are separating themselves from your life, be encouraged and know this is the pruning of God. Don’t mourn the branch that is gone, but focus on what remains. God will use the remnant for His purpose.
