The Wonder Podcast

Studying God’s word is our first love.  We will talk about pretty much anything on this podcast, but sharing what God is teaching us through His word is our favorite.

For the next 4 episodes, we’ll be walking through Colossians. 

Here are some fun facts:

• Colossians was most likely Paul’s first epistle from prison.
• Paul didn’t start the church at Colosse or visit there.
• Paul wrote this letter to encourage the Believers living there.  They were growing in their faith, and he wanted to cheer them up.  

The book of Colossians is meant to encourage us as we grow.  Growth can hurt.  Did you ever have “growing pains” as a child?  Your mom most likely rubbed your legs and gave you some extra TLC before sending you back to bed with this admonishment, “you’ll be fine; go to sleep!” ☺ The church at Colosse was experiencing growing pains.  

“It is not until a man finds his faith opposed and attacked that he really begins to think out the implications of that faith.  It is not until the Church is confronted with some dangerous heresy that she begins to realize the riches and the wonder of orthodoxy.” -William Barclay

We hope you’ll grab a pen and your Bible and study Colossians with us! Let us know what you’re learning and how God speaks and works in your life!

Lynde Griggs co-founded Belle and Sparrows not-for-profit ministry to women 5 years ago.

Formerly a women’s minister, Lynde loved serving women and coupled that with a passion for missions, and Belle and Sparrows was born.

Belle (beautiful) and Sparrows – “What is the price of two sparrows – one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.” Matthew 10:29

Belle and Sparrows is women reaching women both locally and globally. They stand in the gap for the marginalized, teaching them skills, providing encouragement, and helping them to overcome trauma and find their worth in Christ.

There are many facets to the ministry, including mission trips, both local and international, job skills like candle making, bible studies, and more. Women are believing God, His word, and finding their worth and value in Him alone.

Holly Knight is our guest on The Wonder Podcast today. She’s got a new book out called “Stubborn Obedience.” In today’s episode, Holly recounts God’s calling on her life, His gentle nudges, and her stubborn obedience to accept the call…no matter what.

Stubborn takes on a negative connotation most always, but Holly reminded us that it was that sheer (stubborn) will that gave her the determination and strength necessary to walk the very hard and difficult road of obedience.

Are you struggling with obeying God? It’s not easy, but always worth it. His plan for our life is the best plan for our life. And He’s promised us He’ll be with us every step of the way.

Connect with Holly at www.heyhollyknight.com. Instagram - @heyhollyknight Her book is available for purchase on Amazon.

Thank you, Holly, for joining us!

Today Amie Kirby is our guest on the podcast and her story will surely bless you as it did us.  We met Amie last summer at the beach! ☺ She’s BFFs with Teresa Kreul whom you all loved when she came on our show and gave tips on making friends!

Amie recounts her adoption story and shares how God has taken her passion and turned it into her purpose.  Won’t He do it!!!

“God is a Good Shepherd, and He knows the way.” 

 In this episode, Amie shares how God has led her life from the beginning as He placed her with loving parents to raise her, walked with her through her battle with cancer, the death of her beloved husband, and now into a beautiful partnership with Zoe’s House.  

Working with expectant moms and adoptive parents, Amie sees firsthand every day how God shepherds His flock.  He works all things together for the good.  

Be encouraged today as you hear a story of God’s faithfulness and how He never gives up on us.

Becky Leach is here today to talk about her new book, “The Pivot – Believing God When You Really, Really Don’t Want to.” We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

Becky’s story is one of faith, resilience, and trust. After enduring years of abuse, Becky found her path to healing and restoration through learning to pivot and continuing to trust and believe God, even when she didn’t want to.

We were reminded while talking with Becky, that pain and shame most always lead us to a crossroads. Will we trust and believe God, or will we deny His goodness and faithfulness?

Becky would love to connect with you: www.beckyleach.com Instagram - @beckyleachtx. Her book is available on Amazon and on her website. Get your copy today! You’ll be encouraged and reminded of His faithfulness.

When Chrissie met Holly (at Apple Blvd!) and heard her story, she knew we had to have her on The Wonder Podcast! Holly is a wife, mom, cancer survivor, and Cardiac Pediatric PA. And when God placed a baby boy with a heart condition in her life, things would never be the same. Listen in to this episode as Holly recounts the story of Reid Tomlin and how he came to be a part of their family. It’s sure to encourage you and remind you that when God calls you to something hard, He walks with you, enables you to find the strength to fight, and overwhelms you with His lovingkindness. He’s a good, good Father. Through the trials and hardships Holly has walked through in her life, she’s come to the realization that her life is not her own, and she lives for one purpose, “Jesus, It’s All for You!” Connect with Holly @hollytomlin5 Hit subscribe, and please tell your friends!

Shelley Komoszewski is a sinner saved by grace, wife of Ed (for 30 years!), mom to Katie and Emily, and owner of a wiener dog.  :) Shelley is a church girl, an extrovert, lover of coffee, junk, music, laughter, and friendship.  And she's worked at Josh McDowell Ministry for 25 years.

Shelley has loved hard and experienced great loss.  This past year, God called her daughter Emily home to be with Him...with no warning or preparation.  Emily was a vibrant, charismatic, full-of-life junior in high school.  She LOVED Jesus.  She LOVED her friends.  And she LOVED her family.  And God called her home.  

In this episode, Shelley recounts Emily's last weeks of life, her celebration of life service, and reminds us that "life is short and eternity is long.  Make it count."  Thank you Shelley for sharing your story today on The Wonder Podcast.  Your love for Jesus Christ shines bright.

If you would like to reach Shelley, you can find her on Instagram @shelleykomo

We are welcoming, back to our show, The Amy Pierson!

You've heard her referred to in the past as the High Priestess of Kroger, and that she is!

She, her hubby Kyle, and their children are living life on mission as they share the gospel of Jesus Christ intentionally, strategically, and without pause.

If you haven't listened to her last episode with TWP, please do.

She's full of ideas and strategies for sharing the gospel, in normal life. Speaking of normal life, Amy shares that the number one reason we don't share the gospel is we feel we're ill-equipped and not trained for ministry. We're "just" a student, or "just" a neighbor, or "just" a salesperson, or "just" a retail worker, or "just" a kid, woman, or man.

Amy reminds us that that is a lie from the enemy trying to sideline us and keep us off the front lines of seeing our world come to know Jesus.

Acts 4:13, "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus."

Have you been with Jesus? Yes? Then talk about Him.

Here's a great intro into a spiritual conversation, "There was a time in my life when..." (Share your story.)

Are you wanting to go to the front lines and start seeing your neighbors, friends, and family come to know Christ? "Then you'll need to die to your comfort and your calendar." Amy Pierson Let's go!

Amy is starting a 4-week bible study soon. She'd love for you to join her. Contact Amy at amyandkylepierson@gmail.com. You can also reach out to Amy on Instagram @amykpierson.

When we decided to tackle the subject of balance, Tasha Calvert came to mind. 4 daughters, ages 9-25. And she’s all smiles. Always! She seems to balance all the things, but we know that’s not the case.

All of us struggle with balance in our lives. But Tasha shares some great insights into this discussion. And first and foremost, how does anyone find balance without Jesus? How? Jesus himself used two women in the Bible to illustrate what it takes to live a balanced life. Mary and Martha. Love God. Love others. That will bring balance, peace, and purpose to our lives.

We must ask ourselves, “Who am I trying to please as I struggle through life feeling chaotic and out of sorts?” Jesus hasn’t asked us to live this way. In fact, quite the opposite. So, we need to consider Him when we set our agendas.

Please keep in mind that this episode is recorded by 3 type A personalities. Regardless of your personality, age, or skill set, your calling is from the Lord. So, we rest in that and live according to His plan for our life. Balance is attainable, but we must be willing to change, listen and grow.

It’s a new year and we asked recently what YOU wanted to hear on The Wonder Podcast! Well, you answered us and Quiet times, what, how, when, where, why, were at the top of the list! So we decided to tackle this idea with one of our favorite gals, Liz Steckel.

Liz is the brains behind our social media accounts and helps us from every angle quite honestly. And she’s also super tight with Jesus. We knew we could have her on the show and she would share from her heart why time with the Lord is so worth it. She didn’t disappoint.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Liz tackles each day. She uses a plan she calls, READ. PRAY. LISTEN. Each day she reads several chapters of a book in the Bible (she started in Genesis), one Psalm and one Proverb. Then she prays and listens. And she does this mostly at 4am. ☺

Liz says her consistent quiet time began when her first daughter was born. She has walked with the Lord and met with Him her entire Christian life, but consistently? Like most of us, she struggled. But when Savannah was born, things changed. As she was up in the middle of the night with her newborn, she heard the Lord quietly ask her, “if not now, when?” And her early morning pursuit of Christ began.

“I want to learn from and encounter the living God!” Liz

Psalm 63, “God, you’re my God! I can’t get enough of you! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts. So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory.” 1-4 MSG

So if you’re curious about why we need a quiet time, what it might look like in your life, or how to get started tune in to this episode of The Wonder Podcast. Remember, time with God isn’t a check in the box. It’s fuel for our lives. We need Him every day. Every hour. Every minute.

In this episode of The Wonder Podcast, Chrissie and Lisa discuss the year, 2021! It was a great year and a hard year. But aren’t they all?

We reminisce about the months, highlights, and lowlights, struggles, and victories. God is good regardless, isn’t He? That’s what we realize as the years go by, He doesn’t change.

Thank you for listening and sharing. We’d love for you to give us a 5-star review if you like us! ☺

Happy 2022! Chrissie and Lisa

If you joined us on The Wonder Podcast in the spring, you walked through the book of 1st Peter with us.

In this letter to the Church, Peter emphasizes the reality of suffering for the Christian, while simultaneously offering encouragement and challenge. Peter’s 2nd letter to the Church is different. He moves from suffering to alerting Believers that false teachers are rampant, and we must be on guard! We must know what we know!

We must be in God’s word so that we can identify false teachings and protect ourselves from the lure of the enemy.

2nd Peter is full of POWER VERSES! Some of our favorites? 1:3-4, 1:21, 3:8, 3:9, 3:10 and more! We hope you enjoy these 3 chapters of this small, but mighty book of the New Testament! God has a word for all of us today.

This week on TWP, Chrissie and Lisa discuss all things scripture memory! Why? How? What? When?

We talk about it. AND we discuss how much harder it is today than it was 30 years ago! Too busy? Too distracted? Too old? (Don't answer that!)

Walking with God includes knowing His word. It's important to hide it (HIS WORD) in our hearts, y'all. We all have our "Go-To" scriptures that we recall when we're nervous, or afraid, or need reassuring. It changes our mindset and reminds us of our position in Christ and His promises to us.

We hope you're encouraged as you listen to this episode of The Wonder Podcast!

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11
