WHOA That's Good Podcast

Anna Miriam Brown is a singer-songwriter — and one of 15 children in her family. She joins Sadie to talk about writing a musical when she was just 16 years old and what it's like preparing for the "His Story: The Musical" premiere with a full Broadway cast! Sadie and Anna discover many similarities in their stories, including how they overcame dyslexia and how they both surrendered to God, asking Him to use them mightily — when He did, it wasn't the way they thought it would be at all! Sadie also encourages us to work in the waiting. Even if we've surrendered to God and asked Him to use us, we still need to be busy while we wait for His guidance!

Is God OK with healthy boundaries? Bestselling author and founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries Lysa TerKeurst shares what she discovered after in-depth study of goodbyes and boundaries. Sadie and Lysa discuss why the motivation BEHIND our boundaries is important and how you can tell the difference between a mistake and a pattern. Sadie shares personal stories of her past relationship red flags. Lysa gets intensely personal and honest about her current circumstance. Even though she never thought she'd be in this place, she knows God is good, God is good to us, and He is good at being God. This mindset helps her — and it can help you! — snap into focus what is true, despite how tough our realities are at any given time. Plus, what is the first step of seeking help when you understand and realize you're in a bad relationship? And encouragement to not confuse "difficult" with "destructive" in ANY of your relationships.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie loves her new friends Jason and Lauren Scruggs Kennedy, who are nothing if not REAL. As a couple, they are so much fun! Not only do they have a great story of how they started dating, but they keep each other laughing every day, through the good times and bad. Lauren opens up about the devastating accident where she lost her arm and eye and how God has redeemed, healed, and made beautiful what she was so scared to show the world. She shares a particularly vulnerable moment she had with Jason when they were dating, and, well, you'll need some tissues! Lauren and Sadie talk about facing their fears when it comes to outward beauty, encouraging us to live OUT those fears and then be amazed at how much more freedom you'll experience on the other side. Plus, Jason has the secret for not caring what other people think of you. And Lauren wants every girl to wait for a man who will intentionally pursue her — what a difference it makes! And they all agree: Do NOT rush the process!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie & Korie are back, and y'all, they have BANGS! Korie is back to share a TON of advice on all the things — whether it's starting college and you don't vibe with your roommate yet (or at all), being broke with no plan as a married couple, finding yourself suddenly single, and the blessings of hospitality, not just for those who attend, but for the host too! Sadie shares a story about her childhood and encourages us to not be too quick to complain about not feeling settled or having community if you're not taking the time to plant roots — you'll never get the tree unless you stay and nourish the ground! Plus, how are you stewarding your friendships, even as seasons change? Sadie reiterates that not every friend in your life will be your best friend, but that doesn't mean they can't be good friends! And don't miss Korie's tale of a train trip through Europe and Willie chasing down a thief on the train, jumping from car to car. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you ready to change your life? Sadie's guest, author Ann Voskamp, says we should start practicing gratitude. You can't be fearful and grateful at the same time! You are not alone in your hard story! Ann shares how she came to be the first Christian in her family, how she met her husband, and how her blog with about 800 subscribers paved the way for her to then write the bestselling book "One Thousand Gifts." Ann encourages us that if we're TRULY looking for transforming change in our lives, we need to look to the cross, NOT self-help books! Sadie reminds us that God doesn't need us to position ourselves in such a way that He can use us — He can do it without us! Not sure of where to start? Ann's advice: Do what you love, where you are, and see what can happen! Plus, what is "cruciformation?" And Ann tells her family's story as an encouragement for any parents considering adoption.

Nick Vujicic, known as the man without limbs, is living proof that God can use a man born without arms and legs to be His hands & feet in the world. Sadie and Nick talk about staying humble and how an attitude of gratitude is one of the best ways to pull yourself out of a dark, even depressed season. Nick shares his struggles with depression and loneliness and how being bullied when he was a kid led to believing the lie that he should take his own life. Thankfully, he wasn't successful and his mission now through his organization, Life Without Limbs, is to share the Gospel with as many people as possible. The next time you want to tap out because it's too hard, start counting your blessings, naming them one by one, and remember that Christ didn't call us to an easy life, but to love God, love others, and share the good news to everyone!  Learn more about your ad choices.
