Sinner Saint Sister

Josh Monroe became an internet sensation when he started making videos that demonstrate how he cares for the whole student, especially their emotional well being, in his classroom. It was fun to meet him face to face and get to know the man behind the mega viral videos. Also featured in this episode is local activist, Chris Field, who has recently spearheaded the hot topic of increasing teacher pay and how we as community members can help lighten their load. I hope you enjoy this episode about our everyday superheroes.

In this episode Dr. Holly Oxhandler, Associate Dean and Professor at Baylor University’s Diana R. Garland School of Social Work and author of Soul of the Helper, sits down with me to discuss health and mental health, religion and spirituality. She speaks plainly and vulnerably to normalize therapy, medication and other ways to care for ourselves. It only took 5 minutes in a conversation with her for me to remember the importance of talk therapy and to feel as though I had just made a dear friend.

In today’s conversation I sit down with Jason Johnson. Jason is an author and speaker and national leader who encourages families in their foster and adoption journeys and coaches leaders on how to reframe foster care. This is an important discussion as the Church seeks to step in with love and dignity as we follow Christ’s command to love the least of His. Please check out his blog for all books and teaching materials and let’s pray for each other as we discern holy nudges to jump in the river or get upstream or both!

In today’s episode I sit down with Cameron Belm, one of my very favorite online voices. When I had to reschedule our interview (twice) because I wasn’t feeling quite like myself, there was no safer space to confess what I was going through and no person to more quickly extend grace. Cameron uses words to heal and poetry to pray. She fights for justice to bring Thy Kingdom Come. And she is a mystic at heart. My hope is that our conversation meets you right where you are & whatever you might be carrying.

I’ve admired Aaron Niequist and studied his perspective for quite some time. When the world started to fall apart I leaned in especially close. The Lord seems to have gifted Aaron in a lot of ways— teacher, musician, writer— but in my opinion, most especially as a sage in times of crisis. This episode is about his own time of crisis and what he learned was the only way through.

In this episode my dear friend Laura Roland with Encounter Grace reminds us how to wait well and live in great expectation of a God who loves us deeply and is always for us.

A pastor, a politician and a podcaster sit down to discuss the specifics of Thy Kingdom Come and what being an ambassador of another Kingdom has potential to look like as we participate in politics. We take a few deep breaths and encourage each other to not lose hope living in a fallen world... for God is still sovereign.

In this episode I sit down with my dear friend Meredith Perryman to gain as much as I could from her unintimidating approach to Bible literacy. I hope it inspires you to dig in to the great gift of God's unchanging Word as much as it inspired me! And... GREAT NEWS-- Beefy is back!
