Increase Your Joy with Carrie Murphy
Can you increase your joy? Why does joy matter? In this uplifting episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with author, speaker, and comedian Carrie Murphy to explore the transformative power of joy—even in life’s hardest moments. Recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, this conversation dives into why joy matters, how laughter can be holy, and ways we can seek God’s abundant joy no matter our circumstances. Carrie Murphy shares personal stories, including bringing humor to unexpected places like funerals, and offers practical encouragement for embracing both our light and dark seasons. Whether you’re going through a tough time or simply looking to invite more happiness into your life, this episode will inspire you to cultivate joy, laughter, and authenticity in your walk of faith. Can You Really Increase Your Joy? You bet! Carrie Murphy shared how joy and laughter are not just for lighthearted moments, but are actually vital elements of our spiritual and emotional health. Growing up in a fundamentalist church where obedience trumped joy, Carrie Murphy struggled to see where her exuberant personality fit in. But over time, she discovered that joy—and yes, laughter—are gifts from God with the power to heal, uplift, and even guide us through the valleys of life. Joy in the Hard Times One of the most memorable moments came when Carrie Murphy recalled being asked to bring comedy to a funeral—a remarkable reminder that bittersweet moments are not only possible, but powerful. As she so beautifully put it, “The sweet is what gets us through the bitter.” Even in the toughest situations, making space for both grief and laughter can be healing. Practical Wisdom for Your Journey You Can Hold Space For Both: Carrie Murphy encourages us to honor our grief while still allowing light—and laughter—to break through. You don’t have to manufacture joy on your own; you have access to it through Christ, who offers a supernatural peace and joy no matter your circumstance. Let Humor Be Your Medicine: As Tina Yeager shared, even therapists recommend humor for healing. Laughter can lighten heavy loads, dispel shame, and help us move forward with resilience. Embrace Your Unique Purpose: Are you comparing yourself to others, doubting if your quirks fit God’s plan? Carrie Murphy's story is for you. She discovered that her quirks and humor reflect a specific piece of God—and so do yours. Lean into the gifts He’s given you, and watch what He can do! Stay Connected & Discover More Joy Want more laughter and encouragement in your life? Connect with Carrie Murphy at and follow her on Instagram . Don’t miss her nine-episode comedy series on K-LOVE On Demand for a dose of wholesome fun! Final Thought: As Carrie Murphy reminds us, God is big enough for your whole self—quirks, dreams, and all.

Understanding Verbal and Emotional Abuse with June Hunt
Welcome to Flourish-Meant, where we dive deep into topics that matter most to your emotional and spiritual well-being. In this inspiring episode, host June Hunt sits down with Tina Yeager, founder of the worldwide ministry Hope for the Heart and respected radio host of Hope in the Night, to unpack the complexities of verbal and emotional abuse. Drawing from decades of experience, Tina Yeager offers heartfelt wisdom and personal stories—revealing how emotional and verbal abuse often stems from control, manipulation, and covert behaviors that leave victims feeling isolated and perplexed. Together, June Hunt and Tina Yeager explore practical steps for identifying and protecting yourself from toxic relationships, establishing boundaries, and finding healing through spiritual transformation. If you’ve ever felt diminished, misunderstood, or longed for approval in your relationships, this conversation provides clarity, hope, and empowering biblical truths to guide you toward restoration. Stay tuned for profound insights and actionable advice on how to flourish even in the midst of adversity. What is Verbal & Emotional Abuse? Many people aren’t fully aware of what emotional abuse looks like, or how it’s present in their relationships. June Hunt compassionately defines emotional abuse as “any ongoing negative behavior to control another person.” She explains that while verbal abuse includes belittling, lies, and attacks, emotional abuse is often the unseen fallout from all forms of abuse—hurting our spirits and robbing us of joy. Personal Stories & Insights June Hunt shares candid stories from her own life, including a poignant childhood marked by rejection and the struggle for approval—illustrating how the need for acceptance can leave us vulnerable to covert forms of manipulation. She describes experiences with both close friends and family members that shaped her understanding of boundaries, abuse, and healing. Finding Hope & Setting Boundaries A powerful theme in this episode is learning when and how to say “no”—not out of rebellion, but as an act of caring for your heart and honoring God. June Hunt encourages us that, “at times we have to say no to people so that we can say yes to God.” She shares uplifting scriptures that helped her heal, reminding us that we’re never truly alone (“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” - Psalm 34:18).

Will AI Steal Your Soul with Drew Dickens

Will AI Steal Your Soul with Drew Dickens
Will AI Steal Your Soul? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Dr. Drew Dickens, an expert in theological anthropology and founder of the Encountering Peace app and podcast. Together, they tackle the captivating and sometimes unnerving question: "Will AI Steal Your Soul?" In an age where technology and artificial intelligence are evolving rapidly, Tina and Dr. Dickens address Christian perspectives ranging from hopeful embrace to genuine fear—and everything in between. They unpack what truly distinguishes humanity from machines, examining our unique spiritual dimension, creativity, and self-awareness, while exploring the allure and dangers of allowing digital innovations to shape our faith journeys. Listen in as Dr. Dickens shares practical advice on using AI responsibly, warns against the spiritual "sloth" that can emerge from overreliance on technology, and offers tools and meditations to help ground listeners in their relationship with God. Whether you’re curious, cautious, or overwhelmed by the digital tide, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable insights to help you flourish in your spiritual life—even in a tech-driven world. Episode highlights: ✨ AI, Faith & Fear: Dr. Dickens explores why many Christians find themselves oscillating between embracing, fearing, and being overwhelmed by the rapid pace of AI's evolution. He encourages us to step back and examine technology objectively, rather than being led only by emotion or popular culture. ✨ What Makes Us Human? The discussion dives deep into the essential qualities that separate humans from machines—our God-given ability to create and our unique self-awareness. Dr. Dickens highlights the difference between true spiritual interaction and the imitation of it by artificial intelligence. ✨ The Spiritual Cost of Convenience: Are digital tools making us spiritually lazy? Research reveals we’re losing some ability to think critically and, spiritually, we risk letting AI stand in for genuine reflection, prayer, and relationship with God. ✨ Using AI Wisely in Your Faith Walk: Both Tina and Dr. Dickens agree: technology itself isn’t evil, but we must check ourselves. Are we using AI to support our faith journey—or to avoid the hard but rewarding work of carrying our cross each day? ✨ Practical Spiritual Habits: Intentionality is key. Dr. Dickens reminds us to carve out time for prayer, community, and “unplugged” connection—acts fundamental to flourishing in faith despite our increasingly busy, tech-filled lives. Resources Mentioned: Encountering Peace App & Podcast: Experience guided Christian meditations designed to help you reconnect with stillness and the Spirit. Free resources, daily devotionals, and support for your spiritual muscles await at . New Podcast: AI and Spirituality: Stay updated on how spiritual practice intersects with the latest tech changes.

Recovering from Work Hurt with Meryl Herr
09/30/2025
Recovering from Work Hurt with Meryl Herr
How do we recover from workplace hurt? Welcome to Flourish-Meant! In today’s episode, host Tina Yeager is joined by Meryl Herr, owner of the Good Works Group and an expert in helping marketplace leaders navigate the intersection of faith and work. Together, they’re tackling a topic we can all relate to—workplace hurt. Whether it’s major events like being laid off or the everyday frustrations and disappointments that chip away at our well-being, Meryl shares her insights on how to recognize, process, and heal from these wounds. Through stories, practical steps, and a faith-driven perspective, Meryl discusses the importance of separating our work from our identity, knowing when it’s time to leave a toxic environment, and building the support systems we need to flourish. If you’ve ever felt lost, hurt, or stuck because of your job, you’re not alone—and this episode offers hope, advice, and encouragement to help you rebound and find resilience in your career journey. Tune in for thoughtful conversation, actionable tips, and a reminder that healing and purpose are possible after work hurt. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: 🌟 Types of Workplace Hurt Meryl breaks workplace pain into disappointments, disillusionments, and devastations. Disappointments can be small (like a broken printer!), but devastations, like being laid off or publicly shamed, run deep. 🌟 Decoupling Your Identity from Your Job It’s easy to tie our self-worth to our job titles, but as Meryl shares, your core gifts and callings persist, regardless of your current role. Who you are transcends what you do. 🌟 Recognizing When It’s Time to Move On Not every workplace pain means you should quit. However, if your workplace consistently erodes your wellbeing, health, and sense of safety, it may be time to consider a change. If that's not possible right now, Meryl suggests "job crafting"—finding ways to shape your current role for more fulfillment. 🌟 Steps for Healing from Work Hurt Start by acknowledging your hurt—don’t just sweep it under the rug! Share it with a trusted friend, counselor, or even through prayer. Practicing lament (naming the pain in God’s presence while clinging to hope) can be deeply healing. 🌟 The Power of Forgiveness and Community Moving on from work hurt requires intentional forgiveness—sometimes with professional support. It’s also crucial to build relationships outside of work, so you’re never isolated if transition becomes necessary. 🌟 You’re Not Alone Meryl reminds us: “Other people have experienced workplace hurt. You’re not alone. But you have to deal with the pain—don’t ignore it. And finally, remember that God sees you, cares for you, and heals.” Want More Resources? Connect with Meryl Herr at , sign up for her newsletter, or check out When Work Hurts on the InterVarsity Press website (free excerpt available!). If you’d like to anonymously share your own story of work hurt to help others, email Meryl at whenworkhurts@gmail.com. ✨ No matter your work story, hope and healing are possible.

The real trouble starts when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. Learning your own optimal level of stress is vital to being your most productive and effective self.

Gaylyn powerfully illustrates how shifting our focus from our overwhelming situations to God can bring deep peace—even in the hardest moments.

Actionable Steps to Manage Stress Regularly process what’s on your mind and make time to release worries. Pare down your schedule if you’re overcommitted.

Help Kids Grieve After Suicide Loss with Dr. Natalie Ford
09/17/2025
Help Kids Grieve After Suicide Loss with Dr. Natalie Ford
In today’s episode, host Tina Yeager is joined by Dr. Natalie Ford, a licensed professional counselor, speaker, author, and, as she calls herself, a “Hope dealer.” Together, they tackle the pressing and often unspoken subject of how to help children grieve after losing someone to suicide. Drawing from her own personal experiences with loss, as well as her professional expertise, Dr. Ford shares practical insights on navigating the initial shock, understanding when to seek support, and the importance of honesty and routine for grieving children. The episode also guides parents and caregivers through age-appropriate ways to discuss suicide, key warning signs to watch for, and steps to take to prevent further tragedy. Whether you’re supporting your own family or looking for ways to help others in your community, this heartfelt conversation provides wisdom, resources, and hope for one of life’s most difficult journeys. Stay tuned as we break the silence and lift each other up through compassionate understanding and practical guidance. Highlights from This Episode: Dr. Ford’s Personal Journey Dr. Ford shares her journey of loss, having experienced suicide in her immediate family. Out of both necessity and calling, she discovered a lack of practical resources to help parents guide grieving children, spurring her to write her latest book so that families don’t have to walk this journey alone. Responding During the Shock Period In the immediate aftermath of suicide, parents and children alike often function in survival mode. Dr. Ford encourages leaning on supportive friends, family, and community during this overwhelming time and waiting for the shock to subside before rushing into counseling—unless ongoing dysfunction or distress signals a need for earlier intervention. When & How to Seek Help If daily tasks remain unmanageable for weeks or a child is overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or unrelenting questions about their loved one's death, it may be time to seek support—either through counseling or survivor support groups. Dr. Ford specifically recommends looking into resources from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, such as Survivors of Suicide (SOS) groups. Talking to Kids at Different Ages Dr. Ford advises honesty, using age-appropriate language. For younger children, simple explanations may be sufficient, while school-age children and teens require more detailed, open conversations. She stresses the importance of answering questions directly and reassuring children that they aren’t to blame. Recognizing Warning Signs & Preventing Further Tragedy Those who have experienced suicide loss are at increased risk themselves. Watch for behavioral changes in children, such as withdrawal, acting out, or changes in eating and sleeping patterns. If you suspect a child is struggling, ask direct, caring questions and offer ongoing support. Don’t hesitate to ask about suicidal thoughts and intent. Supporting Parents and Caregivers Dr. Ford emphasizes self-care for grieving parents—including maintaining routines for children, seeking support, and allowing children to grieve in their own way and time. Bringing trusted mentors and church community alongside your family can provide much-needed support—especially if children are hesitant to share the burden of their feelings with grieving parents. Resources for You Dr. Ford’s latest book, “Through the Tears: Helping Children Grieve After Suicide Loss,” provides practical scripts, guides for different age groups, signs to watch for, and ways to honor lost loved ones. It is available on and at . A Final Word Grief after suicide is a long journey, but you and your child don’t have to walk it alone.

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.

Expectations vs True Identity with Amanda Cox
How do you establish a belief in your true identity amid other people's expectations? 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. Amanda shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the powerful ways her novels—like The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees—reflect the challenges and triumphs of embracing who we are truly meant to be.

Tune in and discover practical wisdom, encouragement, and hope for your own path toward authenticity and healing.

Approval vs. Belonging: Learn the difference between healthy belonging and people-pleasing, and the freedom that comes from living for divine approval rather than human applause. Recognizing your strengths: Are you quiet, observant, or sensitive? Amanda reminds us that what’s seen as a “weakness” by others may actually be your God-given superpower. 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. Overcoming shame and bitterness: The team discusses the pitfalls of living in the “shoulds” and how forgiving others releases us to become the person God intends us to be. The healing power of fiction: Amanda’s novels, including The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees, invite readers to process universal emotions like isolation, shame, and hope—showing that fiction can be a gentle guide through real-life challenges. 🔗 Connect with Amanda Cox: Explore Amanda's books & updates: Join her community on Instagram & Facebook: @amandacoxwrites We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

True meaning emerges as we trust Him, invite others in, and see ripple effects in our communities.

Responding to Suicide Grief with Tracie Peterson

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
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. Support Emily’s Work & Stay Connected Want to dive deeper into Emily’s journey or support The Lulu Tree?

Connecting Tech Obsessed Kids with God's Word with Allen Brokken

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

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

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. Stay Connected with Jane Ann Kirkpatrick Learn more about Jane’s books and get inspired through her monthly StorySparks newsletter at jkbooks.com. You’ll also find links to order her novels (including Across the Crying Sands) at a discount from Baker Publishing, and see what’s new on her author Facebook and Instagram pages.

Second Chances with Kimberly Woodhouse

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. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. 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. Connect with Kimberley Woodhouse: Website: Socials and contact info are also available through her website. She loves connecting with readers and hearing your stories!

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. Another unforgettable story is that of Faena from Kazakhstan, who memorized just one verse of scripture in a prison cell—and discovered transformative love and purpose, now passing on that hope to others in Central Asia. Real Talk: Choosing Calling Over Comfort Brooke doesn’t pretend risk-taking is easy. She honestly shares her struggle with comfort and reveals how leaning on God for strength—and surrounding herself with inspiring women—has kept her moving forward, even when it feels easier to quit. How You Can Make A Difference Today You might wonder, “Am I really a world changer?” Brooke says YES! You don’t need to travel the globe to live on mission. Opening your heart to people around you—at a coffee shop, in your neighborhood, in daily conversations—can change lives. Every small step, backed by God’s love, matters. Connect, Learn, and Get Involved Want more inspiring stories? Visit , and follow Eastern European Mission on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You’ll find testimony-filled newsletters, more powerful podcasts, and opportunities to join their mission. Final Word of Encouragement Brooke reminds us that courage comes from knowing how deeply we are loved by God. When we root ourselves in that truth, we find the strength to say “yes” to impact—wherever we are. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Reclaim Joy Power as a Woman with Danette Joy Crawford
05/02/2025
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. Stay Connected You can find more about Danette’s books, TV program, and outreach at danettecrawford.com. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.
