Bringing Her Hope Podcast: S9 E5 Leaving Comfortable and Entering into the Unknown with Niki and Kirk Zweigle

My guests today are Niki and Kirk Zweigle. Starting their family in Oklahoma was simple, fun, and fulfilling. So, leaving their comfortable life to take the next journey where God called them to be was an exciting adventure. Their adventure quickly turned into unfortunate circumstances as they faced illness, marital strain, and financial struggle, leaving them wondering what was next, all before ever stepping foot in Oregon.

Bringing Her Hope Podcast: S9 E3 We didn't see that coming with special guests Jamie and Landon Baron

My guests this week are Jamie and Landon Baron. Jamie and Landon knew they wanted to move overseas and serve as missionaries, and in 2016 that dream became a reality when they moved to Nicaragua. However, when the country broke out in civil unrest in 2018, they made an unexpected and emergent return to the states. What do you do when the story you dreamed of changes? How do you continue to posture yourselves with willing hearts to serve Jesus no matter where he calls you?

Bringing Her Hope Podcast: S8 E8 Reconciling With God After Loss with special guest Summer Shore

My guest this week on the Bringing Her Hope podcast is Hope 1079's newest team member and can be heard on weekday evenings from 7 PM to 9 PM PST, Summer Shore.  After enduring two miscarriages and walking with a family friend through the tragic loss of their 2-year-old child, something in Summer broke and she couldn’t pray anymore. Her faith had been stretched so far that she feared her faith and heart might never recover. But God was tender and patient with her in her grief and worked tirelessly to heal her fragile heart and redeem her pain for a purpose.

S7: Episode 4 Bringing Her Hope Podcast: S7 Ep 4 How to live a comparison-free life with special guest Heather Creekmore

My guest today is author Heather Creekmore. She was a “good girl” who kept the rules and never felt like she had much of a testimony. But, it wasn’t until she was in her late thirties that she saw how her lifelong obsession with body image was a sin separating from God. I almost had a reconversion experience when I saw the stronghold that sin had in this “good girl’s” life and when I confessed and repented of this sin. God has been working in my life to show me other areas of hidden sin in my heart too since this time. His grace is good.  Today we are unpacking the topic of How to live a comparison-free life and how that life leads to joy, peace, and rest.

Bringing Her Hope Podcast S7 EP3 Embracing Your Single Mom Life with special guest Susee Fox

Bringing Her Hope Podcast S7 EP3 Embracing Your Single Mom Life with special guest Susee Fox

My guest today is Susee Fox. Susee Fox is a single mother of four daughters. Originally from Oregon, she found her home in Waco, Texas where she teaches Language Arts at a public school. She is passionate about reading and writing and aspires to use her voice as a writer to encourage and build up single moms.    In 2018 Susee’s marriage of 9 years ended, and she went from being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of four kids to a single mother with no job, no family within 2,000 miles, and was looking for a homeless shelter for her daughters and her to live in. God took her through that place, of extreme brokenness and unparalleled dependency on Him, into a season of abundance and provision and blessing.

S7: Episode 1 Praying for your future husband with special guest Cari Kates

S7: Episode 1 Praying for your future husband with special guest Cari Kates

Cari Kates is a media consultant, coach, and talent, specializing in Christian music radio. Cari transitioned from a journey in stage acting to radio and television at the recommendation of a high school teacher. One college class of “Announcing for Radio & TV” and Cari was hooked. Her career in radio has taken her from a small station in Amarillo, TX to being the first female in Programming Leadership at K-LOVE and Air1 national networks. Cari had stops in Birmingham, AL (Roll Tide!), Fresno-Bakersfield, CA, and Nashville, TN along the way. Now she lives in the NYC Metro with her husband and enjoys helping Christian music stations all over the country.

“Don’t settle for less than God’s best for you.” Those words from Voddie Baucham (during a conference for college students) would become Cari's motivation to embrace singlehood…even if it meant for the long haul. Being a single woman after 30 is becoming more common, but single after 40 comes with an assumption that you also love cats and/or plants. (Which she unashamedly loves both. Over 40 and determined to not settle, but ready for a relationship, Carrie began to pray every day for her future husband. He was faceless, nameless…even formless at first…but over time, he began to take shape and God wrote a beautiful story of falling in love. This journey has inspired Cari to proclaim Voddie’s words to her single friends and say from experience, "It’s worth the wait!"

S6:E2 How to find a mentor and how to be one with special guest Kelsey Chapman

My guest this week on the Bringing Her Hope Podcast is Kelsey Chapman. Kelsey is an author, community builder, online educator, and host of The Radiant Podcast. She wholeheartedly believes dreams are worth pursuing and is passionate about teaching women how to walk with purpose in their gifts and live from a place of identity and rest — all so that they can carry their dreams and vision for the long haul.

After a few years of fumbling her way through post-grad life and a brief stint overseas, Kelsey realized that her entrepreneurial itch wasn’t going away. She came home, got to work, and turned a part-time blog and side-hustle into a multi-six-figure business in just two years. From there, she realized her business savvy traits and desire to empower others could be translated into something bigger through teaching everything she’s learned with others. In just four years, she has mentored hundreds of clients and thousands of students through building their brand, growing their platform, and stewarding their influence.

Today, Kelsey plays the role of a personal cheerleader to an engaged audience of 100,000k followers, hosts The Radiant Podcast, and empowers and equips women through her Radiant Podcast, Dream To Done online mentorship program, and most recently, her book What They Taught Me: Recognizing The Mentors Who Will Take You From Dream To Done.
