Liturgies for Hope – 60 Prayers for the Highs, the Lows, and Everything in Between :: [Episode173]
The Wonder Podcast
We were thrilled to chat with Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore about their new prayerbook, “Liturgies for Hope–60 Prayers for the Highs, the Lows, and Everything in Between.”We want to be their best friends. Let’s get that out there. They are full of JOY AND PURPOSE! This book started“as an act of defiance against fear.” They were great friends, living in NYC in March 2020 as Covid-19 swept the world. They watched as their friends, colleagues, fellow Believers, and neighbors fought isolation, sickness, and worry. God started to give them words of comfort and peace, and they wrote...

Prayer and Fasting with Maria Bower :: (Episode 172)
The Wonder Podcast
Maria Bower shares her testimony of faith in this episode. All we can say is buckle up! God does a work in her heart and uses Chrissie in the process. Maria was searching, tired of religion, and wanted a relationship. And God answered her prayers. From her first prayer for direction and clarity to her everyday prayers, she unrelentingly trusts God. She doesn’t question His plan for her life or her family’s, and she walks confidently because of His love for her. She is a woman of deep faith. We loved hearing about Maria’s faith journey so much that we ran out of...
info_outlineWhat a gift it was for Dr. Connor Bales to join us and share with us the message from his new book, “Counted Worthy.”
Connor received a landscape architecture degree from Texas Tech University, but 10 years into his career, he felt God’s call to full-time ministry. Married with kids, he embarked on a journey that has taken him from the Dallas area to east Texas and back to Dallas, more specifically Prosper, TX as the lead pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church – North Campus.
Connor and his wife, Mary, who you might remember was a guest on our podcast back in May 2020, have five children. Two of their daughters have a rare chromosomal abnormality called Trisomy 16P.
Connor shares that after they received the news that their daughter Hannah had the same diagnosis as her older sister, Libby, he felt God’s presence immediately and heard the words, “I’ve counted you worthy.”
There is tension between “God is good” and “Life is really hard.” Connor is real about this tension and hopes to encourage anyone in the midst of a struggle to get real with God. If he were sitting with you right now, he would say these things, “I’m sorry.” “What you are going through is awful.” “God loves you.”
Romans 8:18 says, “For the sufferings of this present time are not worthy of being compared to the glory to be revealed to us.”
Thank you, Connor, for joining us. You’ll love his message of hope in Jesus Christ.
Order your copy of “Counted Worthy” on Amazon or grab a copy at the Prestonwood Baptist Church bookstore.
