  Connecting the Dots: Seeing God's Hand in Your Story with Lisa M. Pritchard - Part 2

  Sep 25, 202625 minS1

  Previously, award-winning author Lisa Pritchard shared how she began looking back over her life and recognizing God's hand in experiences and relationships that once seemed unrelated. You may have seen this in your own life. In Part 2, we're talking about where those paths can lead us. Even a misunderstood first grade class assignment and a blank book had meaning in her life. Lisa's Dirt Dog and Friends series combines her background in education and literacy with stories designed to help children grow as readers while also learning about kindness, courage, faith, friendship, perseverance, and strong character. And at the heart of her first story is a beautiful truth from 1 Samuel 16:7: "people may look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart." Find more at her website dirtdogandfriends.com

  Connecting the Dots: Seeing God's Hand in Your Story with Lisa Pritchard - Part 1

  Sep 25, 202625 minS1

  Have you ever looked back over your life and suddenly realized that God was connecting dots you didn't even know were there? And then, years later, you begin to see a path that only God could have designed! My guest is the delightful award-winning children's author and former Teacher of the Year, Lisa M. Pritchard. Her first picture book in the Dirt Dog and Friends series, "Dirt Dog Invites Prissy Poodle to the Prom," was recently named the 2026 Children's Book of the Year by the AWSA Golden Scroll Awards! But long before the awards—and even before the books—God had been weaving together Lisa's story for a purpose she couldn't yet see. Today, we're talking about trusting God's direction when we can't see where the path is leading—and what we may discover when we finally look back and see how He was connecting the dots all along.

  Darin Kinder: A 9/11 Story of Courage, Faith & Purpose - (Part 1)

  Sep 21, 202625 minS1

  Darin Kinder was inside the World Trade Center in New York City preparing to go into a meeting when the twin towers were hit by two hijacked jetliners. Amid the chaos and destruction, Darin says he felt God speak to him, assuring him that he was not alone. In the midst of this harrowing event, he made his way to a phone and left a message for his wife assuring her he was ok and was heading back into the towers where he and some co-workers led others to safety. This traumatic experience would change his life — and set him on a mission to discover God's purpose can come out of pain. He earned the U.S. Secret Service's highest award for bravery - the Medal of Valor for his heroism that day. Jenny's guest is a Speaker & the Author of "Bury Me In A Dirty Suit," a compelling memoir that explores what it means to lead with integrity, serve others sacrificially, and step into the mess when it matters most. He's the founder of Fierce Faith, a Christian organization that encourages men to live purposefully serving God. He recently retired as a U.S. special agent after 25 years of service that included protecting U.S. presidents and American interests. Find more on Darin at darinkinder.com .

  From Grief to Healing: Hope After Loss with Dr. Gayla Holley - Part 2

  Sep 10, 202625 minS1

  What do you do when a "grief storm" suddenly rolls in? A memory. A song. A familiar place. A date on the calendar. Grief can catch us when we least expect it. In Part 2 of Jenny's conversation with Dr. Gayla Holley of Grief Guide Ministries, we continue talking about the journey through loss, and the hope and healing that can come along the way. Dr. Gayla shares about what she calls "grief storms," her practical "trigger treats," and the unique journey of widows walking through grief. They also talk about ministry to widows and orphans and the beautiful picture of healing being like a banquet table that has been prepared just for you. After experiencing devastating losses of her own, Gayla has seen how God can take our broken places, bring healing, and then use those very places to help bring hope to someone else. If you are grieving today—or know someone who is, they hope this conversation encourages you and reminds you that there is hope, even when you can't see very far down the road. "You turned my mourning into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy," Ps 30:11. Is it really possible? You can find Dr. Gayla and resources through Grief Guide Ministries, providing healing care for women in all stages of loss. griefguideministries.com and on social media at The Grief Guide.

  From Grief to Healing: Hope After Loss with Dr. Gayla Holley - Part 1

  Sep 10, 202625 minS1

  Loss is one of the hardest things we face in life, and grief doesn't always come in the way we expect. We grieve the loss of someone we love. But we can also grieve a broken relationship, a change in our health, the loss of a dream, or simply the life we thought we were going to have. So how do we move forward without feeling like we're leaving behind what—or who—we've lost? Jenny's guest is Dr. Gayla Holley, founder of Grief Guide Ministries. Dr. Gayla has walked alongside people through some of life's most difficult losses, helping them understand grief and find a path toward hope and healing. Her website is griefguideministries.com and social media "The Grief Guide." In Part 1 of their conversation, they talk about what Dr. Gayla calls, moving "from intensive grief to progressive grief," - lessons that can help us through grief and transition, and how God meets us in places we never expected to be. They recently recorded this as a video interview, and I think you'll be encouraged by their conversation.
