When the pains and challenges of life come crashing in, it can be hard to truly trust God and cling to His promises in the midst of life’s processes. However, I’m reminded that God often loves using our moments of powerlessness to draw us closer to and to reveal the character of His heart. Today, we are joined by a very special guest who is no stranger to adversity in this life, but someone who has chosen a unique perspective in the midst of her pain. Joining us today is disciple, mom, hope sharer, joy spreader, and proclaimer of Christ, Megan Fate Marshman. Megan is authentic, compelling, selfless, and determined to use her life to spread hope, share truth, and celebrate others. She also happens to be the Best-selling author of several books including the Beautiful Word Bible study: John, Meant for Good, SelfLess, and what I believe is a for sure soon to be Best-Seller and the topic of our conversation today, her upcoming release titled, Relaxed: Walking With the One Who is Not Worried About a Thing. My friends, our prayer through this conversation is that no matter what season of life you may find yourself in, that you would realize that relaxed should never be goal, but instead can be a wonderful byproduct from spending time in His presence!

Relaxed: Walking With & Trusting God in the Midst of Your Grief, Shame, & Anxiety with Best-Selling Author, Speaker, and Teaching Pastor, Megan Fate Marshman, Ep. 173

Joining us today on the podcast is Lead Pastor of National Community Church located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., as well as New York Times bestselling author of 24 books, Mark Batterson. In today’s conversation we will unpack Mark’s newest book entitled, “A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God who is Bigger than Big, Closer than Close, and Gooder than Good” to help remind you of the millions of miracles God performs everyday and inspire you to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose. Mark puts it this way, “Think you’ve never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one!”There never has been—and there never will be—anyone else like you. That isn’t a testament to you. It’s a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else’s. Simply put, you matter to God. However, most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It’s time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It’s no wonder we’ve lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In today’s conversation as well as littered throughout the book, A Million Little Miracles, Mark reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to carpe wonder for the Creator and His creation:

1. God Is Bigger Than We Think—we can rest in His wisdom and strength

2. God Is Closer Than We Realize—we never have to do life alone

3. God Is Better Than We Imagine—we can reclaim our childlike wonder

My friends, a million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you.

A Million Little Miracles: Learning how to Take Life With Gratitude and Not for Granted with Renowned Pastor & NY Times Best-Selling Author, Mark Batterson, Ep. 200

Today’s guest has one of the most moving and impactful testimonies we’ve ever heard on the podcast. From the depths of despair, anguish, and suffering on the floor of a psychiatric hospital room, Sheila Walsh was approached by what she believes was an angel who reminded her that “The Shepherd knows where to find you.” From a painful past and broken spirit, Sheila has since experienced the overwhelming love of God like never before. Many of you may know Sheila as a best-selling author, Bible teacher, 2x Grammy-nominated recording artist, and television host, hosting numerous shows on TBN, including the flagship show, Praise, and the talk show, Better Together, but as Sheila mentions in today’s conversation, she’s really just like you and me - a Bummer Lamb who desperately seeks to know and pursue the voice of The Shepherd!

The Shepherd Knows Where to Find You: Resting in the Shelter of God’s Promises with Author, Bible Teacher, 2x Grammy-Nominated Recording Artist, & Television Host, Sheila Walsh, Ep. 199

When living in a postmodernistic and relativistic culture and society where people are placing preferences over principles, often times we need to be reminded that Truth is nonnegotiable. There is only One absolute standard of Truth which is the Word of God, and in these days we need men and women of faith to be bold and courageous in stepping up, standing on, and speaking the Truth in love. For this reason, our guest today is the co-founder and lead vocalist and bassist for the 22x platinum band, Skillet, one of the best-selling Christian rock bands of the 21st century, John Cooper. You may know many of Skillet’s songs such as “Hero”, “Anchor”, “Stars,” “Victorious” or “Monster.” However, on November 1st, John and Skillet released their 12th album with the title ‘Revolution’ stating that the revolution they are referencing is not a political one or a militaristic one, but rather it is a revolution of loving your neighbor as yourself. Additionally, John is the author of Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World, which we are also going to be discussing today. If you’re ready to be encouraged and motivated for such a time as this, I would encourage you to tune in and be a part of this Revolution!
