#256: Encore With Max McLean on The Most Reluctant Convert
Today's episode was previously aired as a BONUS episode, but since I'm in Italy at the moment, there's no better time to share it again … because it's just that good! You'll get to hear from Max McLean, the actor who played C.S. Lewis in the movie, The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis, which is a story about the beloved Christian writer's incredible journey from atheism to faith, even though he was, according to him, "the most reluctant convert in all England." Max and I talk all about the film, his journey leading to his portrayal of my favorite dead author, and how C.S. Lewis' legacy serves as an inspiration to all of us. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/256

Shame is to the soul what cancer is to the body. It eats away at our self-esteem, erodes our relationships, and keeps us from moving forward in life.

He'll weave together reliable psychological principles with biblical truths to start you on the path of wellness and peace. So, if you're weighed down by shame or have begun to believe the lies that you're defective, unworthy, and flawed, then my friend, it's time to break free! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/255

#253: Can I Tell God How I Feel in Prayer? With Suzanne Eller
In hard times, lots of us shy away from God, unsure of how to talk to Him about what we're feeling. But today, author and podcaster Suzanne Eller explains why prayer is not about the number of words that come out of your mouth or how eloquent you sound. It's about being in God's presence. Simply showing up. You'll learn some practical prayer starters based on Scripture that will unintimidate talking to God. And then, we'll end this episode with a song I love called "Pray the Way You Pray" by Coldwater Jane. So, be sure to listen to the very end. Don't let your hurts, fears, doubts, or expectations keep you from freely talking to God, my friend. Listen in, and you'll see why it's okay to just show up. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/253

It's that time again! We're spilling the beans in Houston, Texas, with Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Laura Story and former lead singer of Newsong, Michael O'Brien.

Today, we're talking about if it's okay to not be joyful during trials, what it means to fear the Lord but not be fearful of Him, and how to forgive someone but not allow them to hurt you in the future. Plus, Laura shares how her husband didn't remember they were married after his surgery (true story), and Michael gives a spontaneous performance of "Arise My Love."

#251: Can I Trust That God Knows and Cares? With Lisa Whittle
When life doesn't make sense, we often try to fix it, make sense of it, or change it. We wrestle, don't we? But what if we didn't have to understand it or do anything about it? What if we could trust that God knows, and since He knows, that's enough to turn our wrestling into resting? Today, author Lisa Whittle joins us to help you see behind the curtain of God's perfect knowledge. She makes a solid case for why trusting in His omniscience alone can help you find release, relief, and rest. And you'll never guess where we're going in Scripture to learn about this … Nahum! That's right! We're about to geek out about this Old Testament prophet, and you are going to love it! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/251

And today, best-selling author Lysa TerKeurst candidly shares her healing journey and gives you tons of practical encouragement for your own. She talks about the importance of boundaries, what obedience to God looks like when you want to give up, and how the acceptance of suffering can alter the healing process. You're about to soak in some refreshing truth and much-needed hope for the hard road you're traveling. And by the time we're done, you'll say out loud, "I'm going to make it!"

How do you know he's the one? How do you know she's the girl you're supposed to marry? How do you really know you're right for each other? These are the kinds of questions Chelsea and Nick Hurst have heard since over 2 million people began to follow their love story, engagement, and marriage on YouTube. And today, they're going to dive deeper into the guidance they received, the lessons they learned, and the questions they asked themselves and each other as they navigated the biggest decision of their lives. Their perspective is refreshingly honest and super practical whether you're married, single, single-again, or know someone who's about to say, "I do!" SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/249
