Unlock Your Creativity and Discover How God Wants to Use You with Al Gordon- Episode 1091
God made you creative and your gifts have a purpose. Today we start talking about another rhythm that’s helping us get spiritually stronger: service. We're talking about how to serve in your gifting, how to recognize the ways God has uniquely wired you, and how to use those gifts to bring hope to the people around you. Al Gordon is a Christian leader, pastor, and voice in the global creative movement within the church. He’s the founder of Renaissance, leads SAINT, a church in East London that was planted with a mission to bring hope and renewal to a neighborhood where less than 1% of people attend church. Al recently released his book Spark in March and it’s the perfect resource for this conversation. . . . . Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion International: One name. One face. One story.

Is Restoration Possible After Betrayal? with Carl and Laura Lentz- Episode 1090
Carl and Laura Lentz walked through infidelity on a really public platform and since 2020 have put in the work towards restoration, redemption, and healing. When they realized there weren’t many books for couples walking through infidelity and betrayal, they felt the invitation to not only tell their story, but share the practical steps that have helped them stay together and heal. I realize this may not be your story or your struggle, but sin is something we all deal with and secret sin specifically is not something we’re going to play around with around here. I admire Carl and Laura’s vulnerability and honesty to share what this has looked like for them. It’s really brave and I’m really grateful. If you know a couple that could benefit from reading Overcoming Infidelity or maybe that’s you - go grab a copy of their book. . . . . Have you watched my talk show, I Gotta Ask?!

The Power and Beauty of Corporate Worship with Dwan Hill- Episode 1089
There’s no better person to help us finish talking about this spiritual rhythm than my own worship pastor from my church here in Nashville. Dwan Hill is not only the worship pastor at Cross Point Church, but he’s both a grammy and dove award winner and the founder of the Choir Room, which we’re going to talk about today. Worship is something we can do anywhere, anytime, but I asked Dwan today why corporate worship and gathering together matters. And you’re going to be so encouraged by his response. I love his heart for the Church and hearing the way he’s been uniquely gifted to help lead us all as we glorify God. We’ve even got a worship practice guide for you that’s available over at spirituallystronger.com today. It just has some practical ideas of ways to connect with God in worship that may fit your personality—whether you prefer worship through music or art or words or nature. . . . .

Today, we’re talking about the way poetry and liturgies and some of these quieter methods of worship are just as powerful and for a lot of people - their preferred way of worship. As always, we’re unpacking the conversation even more over at SpirituallyStronger.com - so head over there as we talk about the way we connect with God through words and writing. . . . .

From Addiction and Shame to Radically Restored with Stephen McWhirter- Episode 1087
Stephen McWhirter is here today and we’re talking about what it looks like to worship even when shame is telling you that you don’t belong in the room. Stephen has a story of radical restoration. He went from hating Jesus, battling addiction, and feeling completely beyond saving to becoming a worship leader, songwriter, and someone who now gets to tell people all over the world that Jesus is real. He’s also the author of Radically Restored and the songwriter behind a song you probably hear often: “Come Jesus Come.” I think Stephen’s story is going to remind you that worship isn’t something we earn the right to do. It’s a response to the grace we’ve already been given. . . . . Order your copy of Don’t Let That Hold You Back wherever you love to buy books! . . . .

What If Worship Is More Than Singing? with Hosanna Wong- Episode 1085
Hosanna Wong is here to help us start a multi-episode mini series on our next spiritual rhythm: worship. She has been on this really beautiful journey of trying to uncomplicate worship and uncomplicate spiritual rhythms. As she researched for her latest book, Uncomplicate It, she actually asked 1,000 people all over the world two questions: 1. What stands in the way of you connecting with God? 2. What’s a unique way you’ve been able to connect with God? From those conversations, she discovered seven different worship personalities—or, as she calls them, “praise-analities.” And I LOVE this because the point isn't to put you in a box or tell you, This is the one right way you worship God. It’s actually meant to set you free to worship God in the way you’re naturally wired—or in the way that makes sense for the season you’re in. Take the quiz to see what your Praise-o-nality is at hosannawong.com/quiz! . . . . We’re unpacking the conversation even more over at SpirituallyStronger.com - it’s just like my old blogging days over there and I love it. . . . .

One of our spiritual mothers in the faith, AND one of my book launch day twins, Joyce Meyer is here! Joyce is 83 and while she’s authored over 150 books, she’s releasing her memoir for the very first time today. It is called My Battlefieldand it’s just beautiful. The life she’s lived has not been without pain and suffering, but you will hear her say today why it mattered to her to tell this story. I will warn you, that as we talk about her upbringing, we get into some conversation about sexual abuse, so please be gentle with yourself if that’s something you’ve also walked through and parents, this may be an episode you’d rather have your headphones in for if you’re around my miniBFFs. . . . . Order your copy of Don’t Let That Hold You Back wherever you love to buy books!
