How healthy is your private life as you charge ahead into the new year?

As we build momentum in 2024, we want to invite all of you to slow down and make sure your heart is in the right place. We all want to have a fruitful year, but how healthy are your roots? If your unseen life is a mess, it will almost certainly cause things to unravel over time. To build our lives on a firm foundation, it’s critical we examine ourselves and pay careful attention to the things God brings up in our lives.

On this week's episode of Conversations, John and Lisa provide some helpful questions you can ask yourself to assess the current health of your faith. Offering personal insights and practical steps you can take today, this episode will help you make sure you are building your life on an unshakable foundation.

Does it feel like your life is in a holding pattern while others all around you seem to be moving forward with purpose? Do you feel disappointed because you’re not where you thought you'd be at this point in your life? Do you feel frustrated, sensing you were made for more, but don't know how to attain it? Do you struggle with fear and depression, desperate to find fulfillment and meaning for your life?

Today, we're diving into a topic that's perfect for anyone looking to start the new year on the right foot: learning how to master our exits and entrances. As we transition to 2024, we have an invitation to let go of the old and embrace the new.

Exits and entrances are an integral part of the story God wants to tell through our lives. It can be easy to miss what God is doing in the present if we are still looking to the past. Learning how to recognize and respond to God's leadership in times of transition will help us take hold of His plans for us!

In this episode of Conversations, John and Lisa share powerful insights on how to end one season well so we can enter the next with expectancy! Join us for practical strategies to start the new year with momentum!

There is no denying the sting of rejection. These painful moments can bring up questions about ourselves, others, and maybe even God.

How can we begin to move forward into a place of healing and strength?

We don’t have to ignore the pain, but we do get a chance to defy it. Instead of carrying that rejection with us, Jesus invites us to shake it off (see Matthew 10:14 NIV). We can be honest about the pain you have experienced, and, at the same time, learn to let it go, lift our heads, and keep moving.

Tune in to this week’s episode of the Conversations podcast (a follow up to the last episode—so make sure to listen to that first if you missed it) as John and Lisa wrap up this important discussion and share practical, actionable takeaways.

Have you recently experienced rejection? Are you struggling to regain your footing after the disappointment?

Whether we experience it in our relationships, career, or beyond, the reality is we will all face rejection at many points in our lives.

The natural response to rejection usually involves feelings of anger, shame, and self-doubt. While these may be our initial reactions, we don't have to remain stuck in them. Rejection is painful, but rest assured: you can find the strength to rise above it!

In this episode, John and Lisa open up about their personal experiences with rejection and share powerful insights they learned as they persevered through these challenging times. You won’t want to miss this one!

Are you in search for an antidote to anxiety, exhaustion, and hopelessness?

Anxiety speaks fear, but Jesus speaks peace. In 1 Peter 5:7, we read, "cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." The weights of the world are not ours to carry, yet many of us feel the strain of our situations. This might be because we struggle to hand them over. What does it look like to say "I trust you with this God"? How can we reach that place of complete surrender?

Join us for part 2 of a conversation on fighting off discouragement & despair on this week’s episode.

“When can I get a break?” If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you could get some relief from the battles of life, this episode is for you!

Many find themselves weary. It's easy to get worn down by the weights of life and find yourself living in a constant state of unrest. The enemy wants to use the destructive forces of despair and discouragement to get you to give up. We all face this temptation at times—but we don't have to give into it. Instead, we must learn to counter these tactics of the enemy, take heart, and live in true hope!

Tune in to this episode of the Conversations podcast as John and Lisa give you some powerful tools to overcome discouragement. You won't want to miss it!

What if God is using the delays in your life for a greater purpose?

Like the trials faced by Joseph, David, and Daniel, delays will refine the purity of your desires, and help you to lean into God's promises as the source of your hope.

These delays, as challenging as they may seem, play a crucial role in building the character necessary to fulfill God's promises.

In this episode of the Conversations podcast, join John and guest Arden Bevere as they discuss practical insights on navigating the waiting season, guarding your heart against discouragement and despair, and anchoring yourself in the promises of God.

Tune in to be equipped to lean into God's unwavering promises and to learn how to embrace God's work in your life as you wait for them to come to pass!
