Fail Forward via Reinvention with GiGi Butler 09/03/2025

Fail Forward via Reinvention with GiGi Butler Can you recover from failure through reinvention? Today, we’re diving deep into the art and heart of reinvention with none other than Gigi Butler, the visionary founder of Gigi’s Cupcakes. While Gigi is known for her sweet success, her journey is anything but easy. From cleaning houses and chasing a country music dream to building a nationwide cupcake empire—only to face major setbacks during the pandemic—Gigi’s story is a true testament to failing forward. In this conversation, recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Gigi opens up about the gritty realities behind entrepreneurship, the emotional toll of failure, and the powerful process of rediscovering purpose. Host Tina Yeager and Gigi discuss how faith, resilience, and a willingness to let go can spark new opportunities, creativity, and hope—no matter what season you’re in. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, someone in a season of transition, or looking for encouragement to overcome fear, this episode will deliver wisdom, warmth, and a reminder that it’s never too late to flourish—by evolving rather than dissolving. Get ready to be uplifted and inspired as we explore how to pick yourself up, reinvent, and embrace life’s rocky roads with courage. Key Highlights from the Episode: ✨ It Wasn’t Easy: Gigi reminds us that behind every entrepreneurial success is a mountain of hard work, failure, and lessons learned the hard way. In her words: “I’ve cleaned over 80,000 toilets before I ever frosted a million cupcakes.” 🌻 Reinvention Through Faith: Whether she was starting over after losing the cupcake business or navigating life’s unexpected turns, Gigi found her identity and strength in God. Knowing “whose you are” is her anchor in every storm. 💪 The Process of Healing & Starting Over: Gigi didn’t bounce back overnight. She shares honestly about needing time just to “lick her wounds” and discover new ideas—like her latest book blending food, hospitality, and soulful devotion. 🍰 Originality Over Perfection: Gigi’s signature advice? “Life isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being original. Perfect is boring—original is who God made you to be.” 👣 Practical Steps to Find Your Next Chapter: Try something outside your comfort zone. Seek biblical encouragement for your season. Learn from others who’ve faced and overcome hardship. Mix your experience and creativity—and don’t be afraid to put something new out into the world! Connect with Gigi Butler: @OfficialGigiButler on Instagram and Facebook Takeaway of the Week: “Evolve, don’t dissolve. When you keep stepping out and evolving, that’s when the world opens up to you.” We hope Gigi’s story reminds you that failure isn’t final.

Host Tina Yeager sits down with Christie Award-winning novelist and former therapist Amanda Cox for a heartfelt conversation on navigating the complex space between others’ expectations and our true identities. Together, they explore how the search for belonging, the weight of family dynamics, and the pressure to seek approval can both hinder and reshape our sense of self.

Family dynamics and healing: Ever found yourself slipping back into old patterns the moment you go home? The episode explores how deep-rooted family roles shape us, and practical ways to heal and grow—even when our loved ones don’t “get” the new us.

Responding to Suicide Grief with Tracie Peterson 07/31/2025

Responding to Suicide Grief with Tracie Peterson How can we respond to suicide grief? In today’s powerful episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with bestselling author Tracie Peterson—affectionately known as the queen of historical fiction—to explore the complicated and often unspoken aspects of suicide grief. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research for her latest novel, Tracie opens up about why she chose to address suicide in her fiction and how storytelling can offer a gentle, healing space for those processing loss. Together, Tina and Tracie discuss the stigma and secrecy historically surrounding suicide, the different ways people move through grief, and the vital importance of finding safe, supportive communities—whether that means close friends, faith leaders, or professional counselors. Tune in to find both comfort and practical insight as we break the silence, shed shame, and highlight the biblical and scientific truths that can help us respond compassionately to those grieving after suicide. Whether you’re in the midst of loss yourself or seeking to better support loved ones, this episode offers hope and understanding for a journey that is never meant to be walked alone. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: The Power of Story: Fiction offers a safe space to process hard emotions and see your experiences reflected, sometimes helping you take steps toward healing when you're not ready for counseling or direct conversations. The Weight of Stigma: Historically and today, many cultures surround suicide with secrecy and shame—which only compounds the pain for those left behind. Tracie’s work addresses these silences and offers a message of compassion and biblical hope. A Safe Place for Grief: Healing often begins by seeking “safe people”—those you can trust with your vulnerability, such as mature faith leaders, therapists, or supportive friends. It’s okay if your journey looks different from others—there’s no timeline for grief. Moving Forward: You may never get over the loss, but you can get through it. God’s love is deeper than our pain, and nothing can separate us from it (Romans 8). How We Can Help: If you’re walking alongside someone grieving a suicide, simply being present—without trying to “fix” their pain or rush their process—makes a vital difference. And above all, pray continually for comfort and healing. Dial 988 to access the Suicide & Crisis Hotline.

Conquer What is Defeating You with Karl Clauson 07/18/2025

Conquer What is Defeating You with Karl Clauson How can you conquer what's defeating you? In this powerful episode, recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas, host Tina Yeager sits down with Karl Clauson—host of Moody Radio’s "Karl and Crew Mornings," pastor of vision and leadership at 180Chicago, and an Iditarod Trail sled dog race finisher. Together, they dive deep into the topic of “Conquering What Is Defeating You.” Karl opens up about his own struggles with addiction, the true meaning of sin, and how shame and self-justification can keep us trapped in destructive cycles. The conversation unpacks practical, faith-based strategies for breaking free from the things that hold us back—including Karl’s three-step approach to lasting spiritual victory: embracing humility, abiding in Christ, and learning to depend daily on the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burdened by guilt, or wondered how to break the cycle of defeat, this episode will offer you hope, encouragement, and actionable wisdom for your journey. Tune in for an honest, grace-filled discussion aimed at helping you experience the true freedom and flourishing that comes from walking closely with God. Key Takeaways from the Conversation: 1. Identify What’s in the Shadows Before we can overcome what’s weighing us down, we need to identify it. Karl reminded us that confronting the hidden challenges in our lives requires courage and honesty. As he put it, “The issue of killing sin, it’s not commonly talked about, but it’s a hallmark of really living in discipleship with Christ.” 2. Understand What “Missing the Mark” Really Means Karl shared the true meaning of “sin” as missing the bullseye—not a shameful label, but a recognition of imperfection. This compassionate view frames repentance as an invitation to mercy, not condemnation. 3. Don’t Fall for Self-Justification It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and rationalize our struggles, but the focus should be on following Jesus and letting Him guide each individual journey. 4. Surrender to God’s Power Karl vulnerably opened up about his own battles with addiction and explained that, “The older I get, the more…aware I am both of my own sin and of the loving God who wants to liberate us.” Freedom starts when we let God do what we cannot do ourselves. 5. Three-Step Symphony to Freedom Karl describes the journey to victory like movements in a symphony: Humility: The root virtue of all others. True humility means focusing more on God’s greatness than our own shortcomings. Abiding in Christ: Staying close to Jesus—“the Vine”—so that His life flows through us and produces fruit, rather than striving to manufacture change on our own. Yielding to the Holy Spirit: Raising our “sails” so God’s Spirit can empower, guide, and remind us of truth moment by moment. 6. It’s Not About Willpower Alone One of the most powerful reminders—“You can’t do it. You can’t conquer what’s defeating you. But God can.” Want to Dive Deeper?

Former Anorexic Hungers for God with Emily Wierenga 07/11/2025

Former Anorexic Hungers for God with Emily Wierenga How did a former anorexic learn to hunger for God? On today’s Flourish-Meant episode, we dove deep with Emily Wierenga, award-winning author and founder of the Lulu Tree, as she shared her powerful journey from battling anorexia to discovering how true fulfillment comes from hungering for God. Emily opened up about overcoming deep-rooted struggles, finding healing through serving others, and building a purpose-driven life that impacts communities worldwide. Her message? Your pain has a greater purpose and you’re never alone in your struggles. Let Emily’s story inspire you to pursue healing, embrace your calling, and make a difference. Key Takeaways from Emily’s Story: The Roots of Disordered Eating: Emily recalls how the loss of connection and early comments about her body triggered her battle with anorexia. She powerfully reminds us that comparison often lies at the heart of eating disorders, but true healing comes from connection, not competition. A Walk Towards Healing: From the brink of death at age 13 to relapsing after marriage, Emily shares honestly about the ongoing process of healing and the importance of confronting life’s root issues—not just symptoms. Finding Purpose in Service: Serving her mother during a cancer battle and later founding The Lulu Tree taught Emily that healing can multiply when we serve others. Her experience reminds us that true joy and restoration often begin with blessing the person right in front of us. Daily Practices for a Hungering Spirit: Emily shares practical wisdom: set boundaries around daily distractions, start with praise and worship, spend intentional moments in God’s presence, and protect your healing by knowing and avoiding your triggers. The Power of Worship over Performance: Emily encourages us to lift our gaze from ourselves and fix our eyes on Christ, discovering our true identity in Him. Worship isn't about working harder—it's about surrendering everything. Miracles in Obedience: You’ll love Emily’s remarkable story from Uganda, where a prayer for multiplication resulted in more resources than they could have ever planned—proving again that God meets us when we step out in faith.

Connecting Tech Obsessed Kids with God's Word with Allen Brokken 06/27/2025

Connecting Tech Obsessed Kids with God's Word with Allen Brokken Are all kids tech-obsessed these days? Maybe—but some young minds are uniquely wired to build, create, and tinker. Today’s episode shares how to connect Tech Obsessed Kids to God's Word. Expert guest Allen Brokken joins host Tina Yeager to show us how to reach and disciple kids who might otherwise feel left out in traditional church settings. Here are some highlights and practical takeaways from the conversation: Understanding the Tech-Obsessed Child Allen shares from his personal journey as a lifelong “technology kid,” explaining how classic Sunday school—full of singing, listening, and sitting—often feels alienating for kinesthetic learners who need to use their hands and engage deeply with how things work. Biblical Crafts & Hands-On Faith Did you know the Bible is full of design blueprints and craftspeople? From the Ark to the Temple, scripture is teeming with detailed constructions and creative talents. Allen suggests inviting kids to sketch, build, or even 3D print biblical objects, helping them see themselves in God’s story. Not Just More Screen Time While we often link technology with screens, Allen encourages us to broaden our definition of tech engagement. Let kids craft, sew, tackle puzzles, or model biblical artifacts—offering them tactile, service-oriented projects that echo examples like Dorcas in the New Testament. Resources for Parents & Leaders Free projects & workbooks: Allen’s website, , offers free resources and a blog series with hands-on activities to align with scripture. Tech tip: For screen-loving kids, try Bible-based builds in Minecraft or digital Lego tools like BrickLink Studio. Homeschool curriculum: Check out multimedia language arts units combined with hands-on projects and audiobook learning for kids. Intentional Inclusion Catch subtle cues—like glazed eyes or restless fingers—that signal a disengaged child. Simple strategies, such as leading questions during scripture reading or collaborative design projects, can transform frustration into inspiration. Get Connected Find more project ideas, curriculum details, and Allen’s award-winning children’s fiction at . You’ll also receive their free newsletter with regular, creative ideas for engaging tech-minded kids. Let’s inspire every child to find their place in God’s story—not just as learners, but as creators, problem-solvers, and world-changers.

Can Stories Change Us? with Sara Brunsvold 06/20/2025

Can Stories Change Us? with Sara Brunsvold Could stories actually change you? Tina Yeager and Christie Award-winning author Sarah Brunsvold explore the transformative nature of storytelling, discussing how both fiction and true stories can shape our character, deepen our empathy, and impact our relationships. Drawing from her own writing journey and research, Sarah reflects on the unique ways stories reach places in our hearts that nonfiction sometimes can’t, offering both inspiration and caution about the types of stories we let into our lives. Tune in for practical insights, personal experiences, and an inspiring look at how stories can help us grow, strengthen our faith, and remind us that we’re not alone. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 🌱 The Power of Storytelling: Sara and Tina discuss how fiction allows us to experience life through different lenses, opening safe spaces to process emotions and explore topics we might otherwise avoid. Sara highlights how the stories we encounter can speak to us in ways that nonfiction sometimes can’t, meeting us right where we are. 🌿 The Psychology Behind Stories: Tina shares insights into why we’re so impacted by stories—how our brains receive them in the same space as music, scent, and memory, making us more open and receptive (and sometimes vulnerable!). Sara reflects on why fiction often inspires us to seek out deeper truths, sometimes leading us to explore nonfiction and scripture on themes like forgiveness. 🌸 Discernment in Story Selection: Not all stories lead us toward growth. Sara candidly discusses the risks of absorbing ideas from fiction that might not align with our values and the importance of approaching stories with discernment and community support. 🌗 Stories Changing Relationships: Learn how fiction can build compassion and empathy, helping us understand others’ motivations and break down relational roadblocks. Discussing literature together can even give us new perspectives on familiar experiences. ✨ Real-Life Transformation: Sara shares reader stories—including how her own novel touched the life of an elderly man who wasn’t a believer—which show how deeply fiction can affect our beliefs and self-understanding. A Key Takeaway from Sara: Come to every story—whether it’s familiar or outside your comfort zone—with expectancy. Trust that there’s something waiting for you, and let God meet you in the pages.

Finding Purpose in Challenges with Jane Kirkpatrick 06/06/2025

Finding Purpose in Challenges with Jane Kirkpatrick Can we claim hope and purpose in challenges? Tina Yeager sits down with the prolific and award-winning author Jane Ann Kirkpatrick, whose passion for historical fiction has led her to write over 40 books about courageous women overcoming personal trials. Together, they explore how we can find purpose in our challenges—whether we're facing the struggles of young motherhood, separation from loved ones, financial hardship, or the deep pain of grief. Facing Hardship with Purpose Jane dives deep into why overcoming trials is a recurring theme in her novels—especially her latest, Across the Crying Sands. Drawing on personal experiences and her research on pioneering women, Jane shares how these historical figures managed to build meaningful lives even when resources were slim and options limited. Their secret? Resilience, faith, and finding community, even in the harshest conditions. Modern Parallels for Today’s Women Jane’s stories resonate with single moms and young mothers today. The women she writes about faced loneliness, family separation, and the daily uncertainties of frontier life. Jane encourages us to look for “the rungs of the ladder” to climb out of tough places—leaning on faith, building community, and being open to help from others. One standout message: independence is vital, but so is knowing when to reach out for support. Purpose and vision anchor us through difficulties, and community sustains us when we can’t do it alone. Turning Challenges into Creativity Jane shares a memorable reader story—how one woman facing the anxiety of having a deployed spouse chose to create her own support circle. Instead of lingering in worry, she formed a family book club, finding agency and connection. It’s a beautiful reminder that, as Jane says, “when things are tough, don’t complain, create.” She also urges us to make the most of what we have—whether it’s creating economical solutions for our families or choosing to gather at the table for a meal. Small, intentional moments matter. Grief, Comfort, and Community Grief is a universal challenge, and Jane addresses it with sensitivity. Drawing from both her novels and years in mental health, she stresses the importance of honoring grief while looking for transformation and comfort. Sometimes, just being present for someone is the greatest gift. A Quick Tip to Carry Forward Jane leaves us with a beautiful charge—to trust the power you have to make a difference in someone’s life. Simple gestures—smiles, encouragement, even a kind word—can become defining moments for those around us.

Second Chances with Kimberly Woodhouse 05/30/2025

Second Chances with Kimberly Woodhouse Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God’s unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts.

Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it’s never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we’ve run out of “do-overs”? Kim’s response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God’s grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He’s still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family’s struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it’s singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God’s word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we’re trying our best, we may still fail—but God’s forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley’s recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we’re able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you’re grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.

Breaking Barriers for Women with Amy and Rob Dixon 05/23/2025

Breaking Barriers for Women with Amy and Rob Dixon How can we break barriers for women in God's service? In this episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with husband-and-wife co-authors Amy and Rob Dixon to explore the important topic of breaking gender barriers in church leadership and service. Drawing from their experiences, latest picture book Penny Preaches, and years of ministry, Amy and Rob share compelling stories and practical insights about empowering both women and men to use their God-given gifts fully within the church. Together, they discuss the power of seeing role models, the impact of tradition and history on church culture, and how to have healthy, grace-filled conversations around challenging topics. Whether you’re a church leader, parent, or someone wanting to better understand the value of egalitarianism in faith, this episode will encourage you to rethink how we can all flourish by embracing the diverse callings God places on each of our lives. Key Takeaways from the Conversation: The Power of Models: Amy and Rob remind us how critical it is for children—especially girls—to see women in leadership roles within their faith communities. “It’s hard to be what you can’t see,” Rob shares, highlighting how exposure and representation fuel confidence and ambition. Gifts Without Gender Limits: The church thrives when everyone is able to use their God-given gifts freely, regardless of gender. Amy notes, “God has gifted us each individually with good gifts, and they’re not sectioned off by gender.” Imagine the impact if the whole team was on the field, not just half! Moving Beyond Fear: The resistance to women in leadership often stems from fear—fear of change, of lost power, or simply the unknown. Rob reflects on how churches can move forward together and men can serve as allies, supporting rather than fearing women stepping into their callings. Healing from Past Wounds: Amy’s openness about her own wounds from the church is a powerful reminder that you’re not alone—and that healing comes, in part, from supportive communities and looking at the “fruits” of service. Creating Space for Dialogue: These conversations aren’t always easy, but the key is humility and honest, scripture-centered discussion. The church has a unique opportunity to model healthy disagreement and mutual respect to the wider world. For Parents and Leaders:Penny Preaches isn't just for girls—it's for every child (and parent) eager to see what happens when everyone is empowered to serve God. Boys, too, benefit from seeing strong, Spirit-led women in their midst. Ready to Get Involved? Grab a copy of Penny Preaches at IVPress.com, AmyDixonBooks.com, or wherever books are sold. Stay connected with our guests: Amy Dixon: Rob Dixon: Final Thought Let’s keep the conversation going—with courage and humility—as we build faith communities where every person’s gifts can truly flourish. Whether you’re stepping into leadership or cheering others on, remember: the church is at its best when all its members are included.

Women as World Changers with Brooke Kehl 05/09/2025

Women as World Changers with Brooke Kehl Can any woman change the world? Discover the potential of women to be world changers with this week's inspiring guest, Brooke Kehl! Brooke Kehl, Marketing Director of Eastern European Mission, explores what it really means for women to step into their calling, take faith-driven risks, and create ripple effects of hope across the globe. Brooke shares her personal journey growing up in a missionary family, the powerful influence of other women’s testimonies, and moving stories of transformation—like Zara’s courageous faith despite its manifold risks to her life. This episode is filled with authentic conversations about overcoming the comfort zone, staying faithful through challenges, and practical encouragement for anyone wondering if they’re truly cut out to make a difference. Listen in to learn how ordinary acts and steadfast faith can change lives around the world—and how you, too, are invited to become a world changer right where you are. Catch Up: Highlights from Our Episode with Brooke Kehl Brooke’s journey began in East Africa, where she learned firsthand what “risky faith” looks like from her missionary parents. Over the past seven years with EEM, she’s devoted her life to spreading hope across cultures, and in our conversation, she opens up about the power of testimony, stepping out of your comfort zone, and why courage starts with experiencing God’s love. Stories That Inspire Action Brooke shares the story of Zahra, a refugee from Afghanistan, whose life—and that of her husband—was forever changed by encountering Jesus through a Bible in her own language. Despite facing grave danger, Zahra’s courage ignited a ripple effect that started a church among other Afghans and led to an entirely new chapter of hope for many.

Reclaim Joy Power as a Woman with Danette Joy Crawford Feeling stressed, empty, or a little bit down? Have you lost your joy? Learn to reclaim power and joy from this week's incredible guest, Danette Joy Crawford. Our heartfelt and empowering conversation was recorded at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas with Danette Joy Crawford—TV show host, evangelist, author, and international speaker, known for her popular program “Joy with Danette Crawford.” Together, we tackle the timely and important topic of reclaiming a woman’s joy and power. Danette shares her personal journey of overcoming deep challenges, including the heartbreak of facing single motherhood just days before giving birth. With vulnerability and wisdom, she offers practical, faith-based steps for moving forward, even when life feels overwhelming. From “soul control” and cultivating unshakable joy, to building community and the importance of reaching out for support, Danette’s insights will encourage any woman feeling powerless, isolated, or stuck in a “pit.” Tune in for uplifting stories of transformation, real talk about mental health, and actionable tips on jump-starting your day with joy and reconnecting with your true purpose. Whether you’re a busy mom, single woman, or simply in need of hope, this conversation will remind you that your current situation is only temporary—and joy can once again be your source of strength. Here’s a glimpse of what’s inside this episode: Danette’s Personal Story of Strength Danette shares her powerful testimony of facing abandonment when she was nine months pregnant and how she chose not to “quit in the pit” but to take one step of faith at a time. Her journey reminds us that even in our deepest struggles, our stories are far from over. The Secret to Soul Control Do you find your emotions running the show? Danette explains the concept of “soul control”—learning to bring your mind, will, and feelings under the authority of your spirit so you can move forward rooted in truth, not tossed by circumstances. Daily Joy-Boosting Habits Danette suggests kickstarting each morning by proactively choosing joy—spending even five minutes with God, meditating on scripture, and setting positive intentions for the day. Small choices can yield unshakable joy! The Power of Community Isolation can make struggles feel heavier. Danette emphasizes reaching out—whether to friends, a faith-based group, or a supportive ministry. She reminds us that community is key, especially when we least feel like joining others. When to Seek Extra Support If you find yourself feeling persistently down, losing (or gaining) significant weight, neglecting self-care, or wanting to withdraw, Danette encourages seeking help, including counseling or prayer support. Resources to Encourage You Danette’s ministry offers 23 outreach programs focused on helping single moms and at-risk youth. She also has a devotional, “The Power of Joy for Women,” available wherever books are sold. For prayer or support, her ministry’s phone center is open 24/7 at (757) 420-2625. A Final Word of Hope No matter what you’re facing, “where you’re at is not your final destination.” Your breakthrough can start with a single, faithful step—and your hope might be exactly what someone else needs.
