When Eternity Gets Close: Cancer, Courage, and Christ 08/21/2026

When Eternity Gets Close: Cancer, Courage, and Christ In this powerful conversation, Sarah and Emily sit down with “Mama Renee” to talk about faith, fear, surrender, and finding supernatural peace in the middle of a terminal cancer diagnosis. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2025 and later learning that it had metastasized, Renee found herself facing circumstances that would naturally bring fear and uncertainty. Instead, she describes experiencing more peace, joy, and freedom from worry than ever before... not because her circumstances improved, but because she learned what it truly means to surrender control to God. This conversation is a reminder that our hope isn't ultimately found in our circumstances. It's found in Christ.

The S2L Leadership Collective [Part 2] 08/08/2026

The S2L Leadership Collective [Part 2] In part two of our leadership conversation, we reflect on what God teaches us through the responsibility of leading others. Leadership can expose our need for control, challenge our pride, and ultimately teach us to depend more fully on God’s grace and sovereignty. We talk about finding encouragement in the fruit God produces, learning to value the gifts of others, and recognizing that leadership is a calling—not a title, platform, or position. Healthy leadership requires humility, boldness, servant-heartedness, and a willingness to handle conflict with grace and truth. For anyone stepping into leadership, the challenge is simple: pray, count the cost, stay humble, serve your people well, and trust God to do the heavy lifting. Chapters Introduction to Leadership Part 2 Leadership is sustained by God’s grace Leadership clarifies what actually matters Humility, surrender, and letting go of control Leadership is a calling, not a platform Counting the cost of leadership Servant leadership, humility, and boldness Owning mistakes and handling conflict Dealing with division and gossip 28:30 Final thoughts on leadership -- About S2L Recovery S2L Recovery is a Christ-centered addiction recovery ministry helping men and women find freedom from addiction through the power of Jesus Christ.
