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 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!

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!

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.

Don’t give up when you are slogging through hard times. Jesus persevered up until and through His death on the cross and because He endured beyond His pain, WE are alive today. God knows the blessings that are coming when we choose to persevere.

God sometimes allows His word to try and test us when our desire to “do” is overcoming His desire to “wait”.  Being still before God is oftentimes more difficult than acting on our own behalf. Find out how to further trust the Lord when He is quiet in the storm in today’s podcast.  

God blesses our effort! Some of us know that in some area of our lives, we could be giving more effort. You know what you need to be doing and you're just not doing it!

Sometimes life is awkward, yet even in those moments, God is still moving. Don't dismiss the opportunity that God has created with those awkward moments, because He may lead to something so much bigger through it. 

Navigating life mindlessly is killing our prayer life. Our special guest, Mike Donehey from band "Tenth Avenue North" shares on the show about how we need to pray EXPECTING God to move on our behalf through the power of His promises.  Let gangster prayer lead you rather than allowing life to amble on. Lean in. Watch how God is going to work. He is paving the way for a greater YES.     Guest Mike Donehey  

Prayer is a haven against the constant pressures of this world.  Don’t struggle and suffer with overwhelming tasks and emotions while claiming that “You’re fine”.  Create a safe space for communing with the Lord.
