Ordinary People Extraordinary Things

Dawna Hetzler brings her unique blend of real estate savvy and ministry zeal to our latest heart-to-heart, delving into her inspiring tale and the wisdom nestled in the pages of her book "Free to Receive." Each chapter of our conversation unravels the complexities of human connection, with Dawna’s personal anecdotes offering a beacon of light for navigating marriage and the importance of allowing ourselves the gift of vulnerability.

Delving deeper, we broach the topic of setting boundaries in our relationships. Dawna offers wisdom on the practice of what to receive, teaching us to set limits on what we allow into our lives, whether it's negative comments or burdensome tasks. She highlights how this practice not only safeguards our emotional well-being but also ensures we remain true to our values.

In the end, this episode isn't just about sharing stories — it is about the golden threads of wonderment and divine purpose that run through our life. Whether discussing relationships or personal growth, Dawna’s insights offer a compass for those navigating the high seas of life. It's a reminder that by listening deeply, setting boundaries, and embracing the art of communication, we can all craft a life story that resonates with faith, hope, and potential.

We all have a story, all of us, share your story. You don't have to have the perfect answer or the perfect life - share what Jesus is doing in your life. This is an easy, real way to witness & share your testimony.

-Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads between the familiar faith of your upbringing and the uncharted waters of your personal beliefs? As a pastor's daughter, Cartier grew up in church. Her story is a testament to the courage it takes to step back, question, and seek a faith that is not just inherited but earnestly owned.

❓“My parents gave me the space to ask questions - no matter what they were.”

❓“I would encourage you to figure out what questions you have. That helps you process & decide some things.”

 -We also touch on the beauty of discipleship through unexpected friendships —a profound reminder that the journey of faith can be a shared one, full of kindness and mutual growth. 
 
 —Join us as we navigate the complexities of faith, self-discovery, and the importance of asking the hard questions that refine our beliefs and relationship with Jesus.

When life throws an insurmountable challenge in your path, how do you respond? 
Kelly, our extraordinary guest, is a beacon of resilience, sharing her journey through cystic fibrosis and motherhood all while under the ticking clock of a terminal diagnosis. Her account, filled with hope and faith, will not just move you; it will offer a glimpse into the incredible milestones she's achieved – including a high-risk pregnancy with twins and her motivation to raise awareness for organ donation and life of the unborn. 

You'll feel the emotional tug of Kelly's life-or-death experiences, especially during the gripping tale of her lung transplant. As her health rapidly declined, and only 24 hours to live, a second chance carried with it not only a new lease on life but also a deep connection to her organ donor. Through the solace of faith, her story is a profound testament to the power of hope and the strength of family, even in the bleakest of times. 

Finally, we venture into the complexities of life post-transplant, where Kelly articulates the bittersweet reality of survival. While navigating the new challenges that come with a new lung, she speaks candidly about the personal transformations that accompany her journey.
 
Kelly's story is not just hers to tell; it's a guiding light for all who seek the courage to face their own battles.

Navigating the complexities of faith and identity can be a solitary journey, but Lauren's story is a testament to the transformative power of community and personal conviction. As our guest on Ordinary People Extraordinary Things, she opens up about her path from a non-religious upbringing to a profound embrace of Christianity, highlighting the moments of tranquility and truth that marked her spiritual awakening. With her insights as a Christian and a creative soul, Lauren's narrative challenges us to consider the impact of authenticity and honesty on our own lives, and the way they forge deeper connections and resolve conflicts.

Throughout our profound conversation, Lauren illustrates the evolution of her relationship with faith—a passage that began within the communal warmth of a youth group and blossomed into a deeply rooted personal belief system. Her experiences, from playing guitar at church events to being baptized, showcase the shift from shared rituals to intimate spiritual practice. She also shares the delicate dance of intertwining her creative passions with ministry, revealing how she uses her talents in filmmaking and photography to serve her church community. Her personal journey, including the challenges faced within family dynamics and the powerful growth of faith on a mission trip, offers an inspiring blueprint for managing faith in a complex world.

Our episode culminates with discussions on the relatable imperfections of the early church, the life-altering stories within the Bible, and the profound acts of compassion that unite us in our humanness. Lauren's reflection on the Book of Acts and the role of scripture during times of doubt encourages us to find solace in God's unwavering presence. The episode wraps up with an exploration of gratitude amidst adversity, urging our listeners to find and share the light of hope within their communities. Join us for this heartfelt exploration of friendship, creativity, and the enduring quest for spiritual fulfillment.

I have been wanting to do this topic for years & here it is! 
We tackle some hard, good questions in this episode…

❓Why are people afraid of death?

❓What lessons have you learned from being a hospice chaplain?

❓Why does God allow suffering?

Joe is an eloquent speaker & has so much knowledge to share - here’s just a few things you’ll hear:

🗣️“Part of what we do in hospice is try to normalize the dying process as being mortal. It’s something that’s going to happen, so how can I embrace it rather than run from it.”

🗣️“This is a sacred journey - it’s very holy work.”

🗣️“The roads people have been down - you never know until you get to know them & talk to them.”

🗣️“Every single one of these people are a child of God. They are a unique creation. They have had an entire journey.”

🗣️“Dying is their space between heaven & earth.”

🗣️“A lesson I’ve learned is to really, really love people’s stories.”

Jocelyn is in high school & plays Women’s semi-pro Tackle Football for Mile High Blaze

• We talk playing semi-pro football:

🏈“I try to use sports to lead other people to faith.”
🏈“I don’t know where you are in your faith. All I know is it’s my job to help you know you have a greater purpose than whatever sport you are in or whatever academic you’re in.”
🏈“Even though football is what I’m most passionate about - this is not what defines me.”

• We talk revival in youth:

🏈“I’m so excited to see what my generation has coming for us. There’s so much to be done that my generation can do.”
🏈“There are so many ideas of what love is now & there are so many people & teens that don’t know what love is or how to be understood - so many teens around me have found that they don’t have to understand everything to understand God is love. And they don’t have to understand everything to know what God has done for us is love.”

• We talk how adults see teens:

🏈“Just because we’re younger & we have less experience doesn’t mean the experiences we’ve gone through aren’t what’s driving us.”
🏈“Your faith with God comes from your walk with Him & not your age.”

Honestly when I was introduced to Dawn & what she would share on the podcast I thought, YUCK - I don’t want to talk about this! This doesn’t apply to me. Can’t we talk about anything else that’s not so hard & dark? 

But, I learned from Dawn “Fentanyl is an epidemic that is impacting every area of our community. It is a human problem. 
Fentanyl is in 7 out of 10 street pills.” 

 
The world is talking about it - we must talk about it in faith & hope. 
“Being willing to listen & how can I understand what’s happening around us. 
Perhaps you could be a small part of the solution.” ~Dawn 

Dawn shares real, easy ways to shift how we talk about drugs. 
“Drug use is bad, yes, but never taking any medication a doctor didn’t give you.”

▶️ "Instead of a handout, it’s an empowerment model."

▶️ "We can’t change hearts - knowing what God has called us to and trusting Him in that. 
We go back over to the scripture that talks about: 'we can plant the seeds, we can water the seeds, but it is only God who gives the growth.' 
We keep trusting God - if He’s stirring this in our hearts, He’s also stirring in the people we’re going to serve." 

▶️ "We’re not bringing Jesus to Colfax, Jesus was on Colfax. We’re working & we get to join Him in what He’s already doing."

▶️ "The Kingdom of God is so beautiful to see everybody using their gifts & doing what God called them to & we are called to work together." 

▶️ "Treat people like people & see the image of God in them."

➡️ Jeseray is a fantastic storyteller - you will go through the emotions with her as she takes you on the 40+ year journey to find her brother.

➡️ “My mom was very open that she was not able to give him the life she wanted, so he was put up for adoption.
I tried looking for him - I couldn’t find him.
I would try, wouldn’t get anywhere, and would give up.
Maybe he’s not even alive. Maybe he doesn’t want to be found. Maybe I’m not meant to find my brother. I had this very strong moment - it’s ok if I don’t find my brother.

Then began the waiting process….

That shock is real. This is my brother - this is my brother! I never thought I would find my brother!
You’re real. You’re here. This is not a moment I ever thought I would get.
Grateful is the easiest word to use - but doesn’t even begin to describe it.”

➡️ “I think one of the hardest things was - because I did have a traumatic relationship with my mom for a lot of my adult life, even after I got through the grief of her passing. My mom isn’t someone I look up to. My mom isn’t someone I model my parenting after. When his mom said, “We prayed and are thankful fo your mom every day.” That was hard. That was hard to hear someone say, “We loved your mom, we prayed for your mom, we’re thankful for her, and we’re so blessed by her.” Because that’s not the experience I got. It really changed my view of my mom. It made me dig deeper. It made me appreciate her a little more.”

💬 “I prayed to God: I wanted His will to be done, which is super hard knowing His will might not be your will.” 

💬 “Time doesn’t make it better. Better is not the right word. It becomes a part of your everyday life. You learn to move around it.”

It’s been a year and a half since Noble was on the podcast & a lot has happened - listen to get an update on how Noble is doing!

 Our #1 listened to episode…here it is…Noble was 16 when he sustained a spinal cord injury that instantly changed his life from an ordinary, cross country running, teenager to a quadriplegic. 🏃

🏃‍♂️ “This isn’t just about me - it’s about everyone. If I give up who’s going to give up, because they saw me give up.”

🏃‍♂️ “Let’s change the world - lets fulfill God’s plan that He has for us.”

🏃‍♂️ “God says this battle is already won!”

We all have a story, all of us, share your story. You don't have to have the perfect answer or the perfect life - share what Jesus is doing in your life. This is an easy, real way to witness & share your testimony.

No matter where you are & what you’re going through - Becky’s story will impact you & you will walk away with new insights to implement in your life today.

✍️Forgiveness: “I had to forgive him. It wasn’t going to bring my mom back. It wasn’t going to restore everything that was lost. Definitely wasn’t going to restore our relationship - it was going to make it worse. There was nothing good that was going to come out of me holding on to that.”

✍️Journaling: “I would start writing out the Word of God.”

✍️Grief: “We connect with each other through our brokenness & we connect through the Lord with our brokenness.”

9-year-old Kallie was diagnosed with cancer, but wait….the Cancer is GONE!

Kristie shares Walking through Cancer with her daughter, Lessons learned, & Receiving a Miracle!

THE DIAGNOSIS…

💔 “Oh, I don’t want that.” Kallie said when she found out she had cancer.

💔 “Dealing with cancer forced me to slow down.”

💔 “I was never mad at God. At the end of the day He’s still good.”

💔 “I hate relying on people for help, but I had to.”

🙏“People I never even met at church came up & said, “we’re praying for you & your daughter.””

🙏 “That’s when I changed how I prayed to God. Instead of, please don’t let it be this, it was, whatever this is, I know You have a plan. I know You know what it is. I need You to give me the strength & guidance to deal with this.”

🙏 “There’s always a belief in prayer & the power of prayer & it’s hard to trust in that - does it work? I lived that. I do believe in prayer.”

NOW…

❤️ “If I say yes to things I ask, is that brining value or am I saying yes because it’s what I’ve always done & been the one to help.”

❤️ “I have witnessed the power of prayer, so I’m going to return that. Maybe my one, little prayer will help.”

❤️ “We ended up to a great ending to our story & a miracle.”

❤️ “I have a new outlook on life.”

Have you ever struggled with self-care: 

-What it is

-How to do it

-What actually fills you up

-What the Bible says about it?

If so, this podcast is for you!

Here’s a little glimpse of what Brit shares…

“Why do we need self-care? How did we get to the exhaustion point?
Am I worried about things I shouldn’t be worried about? What is the root cause of this?

Many times the root case is an identity or trust issue. 
And a pedicure is not going to cure that. Get a pedicure, but it may not fill you the way you need to be filled.

When I’m still for a while and really sit with the Lord - that has filled me up in a way nothing else can.”

A few Bible verses we mention about self-care
Luke 6:12
Luke 5:16
John 6:15
Mark 3:7-9

“Somebody to You” song 🎶
