Making Room for the Abundant Life with Yvette Allen

Making Room for the Abundant Life with Yvette Allen

Today, I am not only introducing you to one of my wisest and dearest friends, but my podcast partner: Miss Yvette Allen. In this episode we discuss our new LIFE: DECLUTTERED MINI CHALLENGE and cover the 7 topics in that challenge: home, calendar, digital space, mind, heart, body, and Spirit. Listen in to get inspired to make room for the good things of God and the abundant life.
Making Room is all about making room for the abundant life and how we declutter the things that get in the way to make room for the good things of God.

Back to Basics: The 5 BEST BASIC Faith Tips + Insights (Series Recap) with Leah Rempel

I love going back to the basics of our faith and here's why. I think that if we ignore the basics of our faith, that we are actually, in a way, being really prideful. We're thinking that we are above the basics and I just don't think that is true!
Listen in for some fun facts, my top five highlights of the series and a few announcements you don't want to miss!

Back to Basics: Apologetics: Giving an Answer for Our Hope with Jeremy Jenkins

Back to Basics: Apologetics: Giving an Answer for Our Hope with Jeremy Jenkins

Apologetics may not seem like a "basic" of the faith to you. Maybe it just seems like one big scary, super intellectual argument. BUT I love what Jeremy says in today’s episode when he reminds us of 1 Peter 3:15, that apologetics is simply giving an answer or a reason for the hope that you have. It is really just asking ourselves, “Why do I believe the things that I believe?” We need at least a basic understanding of this.
Jeremy answers the questions...
What is apologetics?
Why do you think people are a little scared or hesitant to learn about other religions and worldviews?
What do we need to know about our own faith to be effective in conversations with those of other faith traditions?

Jeremy Jenkins is a pastor at Element Church in Forest City, NC. He is also the Executive Director of All Things All People, which exists to explore the darkest places and worldviews for the Gospel, and to equip you to do the same. He has a Bachelor’s of Science in Religion and a Master’s in Intercultural Studies from Columbia International University.

Back to Basics: What are Spiritual Disciplines and Why They Matter with Rebecca Friedlander

Back to Basics: What are Spiritual Disciplines and Why They Matter with Rebecca Friedlander

When was the last time you took a look at your current spiritual disciplines? You may be like me—constantly assessing and trying to tweak my spiritual practices, or maybe you're wondering what I am even talking about. Friend, we have got you covered here in this conversation with Rebecca Friedlander. We dive into all sorts of things like community, worship, and "pilgrimage." Road trip, anyone? Yes, please.
Rebecca answers these questions and more...
What is the importance of spiritual disciplines, and what do you believe they actually do for our lives as believers?
How would you encourage us to lean into our more creative side when it comes to spirituality?
When did you start to make the connection between disciplines and that God was asking us on this "divine adventure"?

Rebecca Friedlander has been in full-time ministry for 19 years, ministering both locally and
internationally using the creative arts and music. As a film producer, she has created the projects Celtic Pilgrimage, Thin Places, Radical Makeovers, Pioneers, and more, as well as dozens of music videos. She has a bachelor's degree in Christian creative arts and leads worship with both original and cover songs, and she speaks internationally with her potter's wheel. When not on the road, she enjoys leading personal discipleship and prayer retreats from her father's log home in northeast Texas.

Back to Basics: Who is Holy Spirit and Why He Matters with Jeannie Cunnion

Back to Basics: Who is Holy Spirit and Why He Matters with Jeannie Cunnion

Holy Spirit. When you hear that name, you could have a number of different reactions based on your personal experience. Some of you are going to feel weirded out. Some of you are going to feel a little distant from Him. Some of you are going to be very excited to learn more about this mysterious Person of the Trinity, an essential part of Christian doctrine. Listen to the episode if you find yourself in any of these categories, and I have a strong feeling you will walk away feeling very encouraged at the end of this conversation.
Jeannie answers....
How do we begin to shift from the Holy Spirit being more of an accessory in our faith to ESSENTIAL?
How do we know that we are being prompted by the Holy Spirit and not ourselves?
How is relying on Him to change us better than "self-help"?

Jeannie Cunnion is an author who is well known for writing stories that make much of the wild love of Jesus because of how her life has been rescued by it. She is also a beloved Bible teacher and sought-after speaker who has been featured on outlets such as the TODAY show, Fox News, The 700 Club, and Focus on the Family. Jeannie, who holds a master’s degree in social work, worked as a counselor and trainer in the adoption field before writing. She is a wife to Mike and a mama to five boys she is crazy about. To know Jeannie is to know her deep love for Danita’s Children’s Home in Haiti.

Back to Basics: Everyday Evangelism with Larry and Marbi Janzen

Back to Basics: Everyday Evangelism with Larry and Marbi Janzen

Evangelism can make us want to crawl into a hole. Trust me, I have been there. It's not easy sharing our faith with a world that constantly rejects it. BUT it is still something that we have been asked to do. So, what do we do about that?
Larry and Marbi Janzen are two of my friends who have been called to a lot of evangelism; but what I love about what they share is their very gracious, patient, and loving approach. They also recognize that we all are going to have our own styles!
Larry and Marbi answer...
Why do you believe people are hesitant to engage in evangelism?
As missionaries, how do you address the WHOLE person, not just the spiritual?
What are the different types of evangelism?

Larry and Marbi Janzen met and married in Belize in 1991. Larry's parents were missionaries there, and Marbi grew up in the church they were ministering in. Her dad was a passionate evangelist and church leader. Larry went there after Bible College to help his parents in their missionary work, but God had other plans! Together they joined Avant Ministries in 1993 and have been missionaries with this church planting mission agency ever since. They have 2 lovely daughters and as a family they have served in church planting, leadership development, and social justice in Belize, Mexico, and Uruguay. They are currently mobilizers, motivators and mentors for missionaries that are going out from Latin America all across the globe.

Back to Basics: How to Do Justice in Light of God's Kingdom with Naomi Holland

Back to Basics: How to Do Justice in Light of God's Kingdom with Naomi Holland

Human trafficking is really important to talk about on here, but even more so it is this: OUR GOD IS A GOD OF JUSTICE AND MERCY. The spectrum of justice does vary, and we don't all have the same role—which is why I like this conversation so much. As Naomi points out, it is not only what we DO, but what we DON’T do that can be just as important.
Naomi answers...
Back to Basics: Why do you think our participation in justice matters to God?
How would you encourage us to get our hands dirty / boots on the ground and participate where we can?
You have a social enterprise. Can you explain what that is?

Naomi Holland is a pastor's wife, mother of a 13- and 9-year-old, and holds a B.A. in Development Studies. She worked 18 years for a frontline recovery organization in Canada and Nepal. For two of those years, she was the house mom in a recovery home. She accidentally started Redeemed with Purpose four years ago, redeeming old belts into cuffs. It has now turned into a full jewelry line. To date, with the help of our customers and storefront partners, Redeemed with Purpose has given away over $23,500.

Back to Basics: How to Build Community and Why it matters with Yohonna Smith

Back to Basics: How to Build Community and Why it matters with Yohonna Smith

COMMUNITY. The word that extroverts LOVE and introverts shudder at. But we don’t always know how to do Christian community well. We all have a range of responses to this "Back to Basics" concept and discipline. Wherever you are with community, I think this episode will encourage you and lead you in the right direction. We talk about why so many of us struggle with it, why it is crucial to our walk as believers, and, of course, we get practical!
Yohonna answers...
Why do you think community is so important to God?
What do you think “doing life together” should look like? What is your experience with that?
What are some best practices for being part of Christian community? How can we contribute to it and not just take from it?

Yohonna Smith lives in central Ohio along with her husband, two daughters, and one bad dog. She is the host of the Girls Talking Life podcast and founder of the Gathering Project.

Back to Basics: Spiritual Warfare and How to Battle it with Nathan Zieber

Back to Basics: Spiritual Warfare and How to Battle it with Nathan Zieber

Halloween might be full of fake, scary decorations (so glad to see those being taken down today!), but let’s be honest: Spiritual warfare is REAL. If you are choosing the missional way of life, I can almost guarantee that it will happen to you too. BUT there is good news for us all. Our God has not left us without a defense or without HOPE. He is so good. Join me and my second male guest, Nathan Zieber, as we break down spiritual warfare and our place in it.
Nathan answers...
What is spiritual warfare? What does spiritual warfare look like on a day-to-day basis for us all?
How do we know if we have invited demonic activity into our lives?
What can the enemy do against us as believers, those who have the Holy Spirit?

Nathan Zieber is a pastor at Calvary Community Church in Edmonton, Alberta. He also sits on the board of a specialized research and investigations company based in deliverance ministry.

Back to Basics: How to Pray and Why We Do It with Brooke McGlothlin

Back to Basics: How to Pray and Why We Do It with Brooke McGlothlin

Praying comes naturally to some and not to others. I have to be honest that it does not come naturally to me (#messymiddle)! But it is an ESSENTIAL practice for the Christian life and the life of anyone on mission. It's a great gift that can carry us through, give us direction, and help us practice trust.
I don’t want you to feel inadequate in your prayer life any longer. So my guest, Brooke McGlothlin, gives us just the encouragement and practical wisdom you may need today as well as a little prayer teaching from me!
Brooke answers...
Why should we pray for our kids or anyone else in our lives? What makes it effective?
What do we need to keep in mind when our prayers feel like they are not being answered?
Life feels really busy. What would you say to the women who feel like they don't have time to pray AT ALL, let alone for their kids? What practical wisdom can you give us?

Brooke McGlothlin has encouraged thousands of moms toward a richer prayer life for over a decade. She is the cofounder of Million Praying Moms, a popular online ministry that exists to help moms make prayer their first and best response to the challenges of parenting. Brooke is the author of several books and resources for moms and lives in the mountains of southwest Virginia with her husband and their two sons. Learn more at

Back to Basics: How to Develop a Life-Giving Personal Ministry with Leah Rempel

Back to Basics: How to Develop a Life-Giving Personal Ministry with Leah Rempel

There is pressure like never before to discover and pursue your life’s purpose. So many people live looking for purpose and feel unfulfilled when they are living for themselves. I have been there. I used to rely so heavily on my own accomplishments to give me purpose. Whether it was academics, athletics, or titles, I used that as fuel to get me through life. No win, no purpose. I think so many of you probably feel the same.
I think I know why.
Because you are not fulfilling—or you don’t know—your ultimate mission: to point people towards Jesus and the Kingdom in your own God-given way.
This is not an episode about dropping everything to start a non-profit, or business, or moving across the ocean to share with other people groups and cultures. That may be your thing, but, most likely, that is not your call. This episode IS going to encourage you to start small, and be obedient right where God has you.
Leah answers...
What is a personal ministry?
Why do you need a personal ministry?
What are your first steps towards a personal ministry?
How do we know our place in the Kingdom of God?

Back to Basics: How to Build Your Faith From the Inside Out with Leah Rempel

Today, I am taking you through the essential “Inside Out” principle and its connection to the kingdom of God. We often talk about God’s kingdom, and we've realized that this is not a concept that is usually talked about in the church or, if it is, it's often in passing. But it is actually EXTREMELY important to our faith, especially when we are living a life on mission. I also give some helpful tips about making time for spiritual disciplines, especially when life feels overwhelmingly busy.

10 Lessons From 10 Years of Marriage with Caleb Rempel
Aug 23, 202156:26
How to Build the Kingdom Across Cultures with Lorry Taylor

How to Build the Kingdom Across Cultures with Lorry Taylor

One of the things I have enjoyed most in the last few years is meeting people from new cultures, whether that be when I am out travelling or when I am meeting my friends who have immigrated to Canada in my own community. The way they see life can be so different, and the stories they bring remind me that my way of doing life is not the only way.
In this episode, I am talking to one of my dear friends who has dedicated her life to showing others Jesus and sharing the gospel cross-culturally in one form or another. It is a powerful episode about sharing the love of Christ with those who are moving across the globe right into our backyards, or at least next door.
Lorraine answers questions like...
What would you say is the difference between working with other cultures in their own context versus when they have immigrated (our own context)?
What do you find are the highest needs of our immigrated neighbours and friends? What are some practical ways we can love and serve cross-culturally?
Where would you like to see the “Big-C Church” step up to serve and do justice work with those who are of other cultures?

Lorraine Taylor grew up in Edmonton, in a house that was not open to strangers at all. At one time there was barbed wire over the gate! When she came to Christ as a young lady, she longed to have a “House of Peace,” where anyone could come over. God granted that desire of her heart when she met Phil and together they began to live a life of hospitality and people poured into their open house. Lorraine has been married for 43 years and she has 4 children and 7 grandchildren. After College Lorraine worked with the CandMA for 25 years in India, Pakistan and Canada. Then they served with FamilyLife, Canada (a ministry of Power to Change) for 11 years leading their intercultural and international ministry. They now lead Connecting Streams intercultural ministry to newcomers to Canada and refugees.

A Lesson in Improv + Dependent Faith with Karen Cassady

A Lesson in Improv + Dependent Faith with Karen Cassady

Do you love to laugh? I mean, really, who doesn’t? While we all might find humour in different places, the art of comedy and the gift of laughter truly do make this world a better place. So, why wouldn’t we use this gift to build God’s kingdom? Whether you are looking for how to tell better jokes or you want to use the tools from the art of comedy while discipling others or telling others about Jesus, there is something here for you with my guest, improv comedian Karen Cassady.
Karen answers questions like...
Why does God’s kingdom need comedians? (I really think it does!)
Where would you draw the connection between faith and comedy?
How do you find yourself depending on God through this profession?
There are many skills that an improv comedian has that could play a role in our kingdom building. Could you give us some tips on each one?

Karen is a freelance artist and improviser in Atlanta, Georgia. She is an ensemble member and teacher at Dad’s Garage Theater and has called it her family and home for the last ten years. While she mainly does live theater and comedy, She has done a few television spots for Adult Swim and commercials for Gas South and Aaron’s Appliances. During the pandemic, she discovered the wild world of TikTok and has built a following of over 1.3 million in under a year. Since then, she has been featured on Buzzfeed, 11 Alive News, and others. She produces solo comedy sketches involving various characters but is known mainly for her comedic “Teacher” videos. She now works as an influencer creating content for millions on TikTok and Instagram and is excited about the many doors and opportunities opening up because of it. She is thrilled and honored to provide laughter and smiles when people need it the most.

The Surprising Link Between Faith and Pop Culture with Mary Carver

The Surprising Link Between Faith and Pop Culture with Mary Carver

What does pop culture have to do with faith? You might not be making the connections right now, but, today, Mary Carver and I are helping you see God right in the middle of popular culture. We talk all about how God speaks through creatives in culture, how to discern between truth and experiences, and her top recommendations right now!
Mary answers questions like...
How are faith and pop culture connected, and why does it matter?
How can we interact with pop culture or use it as a tool to dig into faith or scriptural concepts or ideas?
How do you approach pop culture with discernment and wisdom but also with love and empathy?

Mary Carver writes and speaks with humor and honesty, encouraging women with truth found in unexpected places. She hosts a podcast about pop culture and faith and is a regular contributor to (in)courage. She is also the author of Women of Courage, Journey to the Cross and the (in)courage Bible study Courageous Joy, and the coauthor of Choose Joy and Sacred Tears.

How to Pursue Life-Changing Intimacy with God with Mo Aiken

How to Pursue Life-Changing Intimacy with God with Mo Aiken

Being fully known and loved by God is one of the greatest gifts that Christianity has over every other religion. We have a God who sees every vulnerable detail of us and loves us anyway. But what does that really mean?
My guest, Mo Aiken, breaks down what it means to be known, drawing attention to the parallels between physical intimacy and spiritual intimacy and what that means for us practically. Can’t wait for you to hear this one!
Mo answers questions like...
With the year we've had, we all feel so burned out and discouraged. How can being intimate with God, being fully known by Him, encourage us through those seasons of our lives?
Let’s assume we all want to go deeper in our spiritual walks and we want deeper intimacy with God. What does that look like practically? What are some steps, practices, or tools that could bring life back into our relationship with God?
How will personally pursuing an intimate relationship with God impact His kingdom and the world around us?

Mo Aiken colabors for the kingdom within BOLDLIFE INITIATIVE, a ministry that exists to challenge, encourage, and equip Christ followers to pursue holy and bold lives. Her family team maintains a thriving nationwide speaking ministry and facilitates a faith-centered blog that has garnered millions of views to date.

How to Serve the Poor + Do Justice on the Streets with Lindsey Krinks

How to Serve the Poor + Do Justice on the Streets with Lindsey Krinks

As kingdom builders, we are called to care for the poor and vulnerable. It is not always easy to know what to do, and it can even feel a little uncomfortable. As people who love Jesus and His kingdom, it is our duty to lean in to the discomfort and discover our unique role in this space. You are officially invited to join the beautiful work of justice. Let's go!
Lindsey answers questions like...
What are some misconceptions about homelessness you find yourself having to correct as you educate and advocate?
What would you say to someone who experiences some fear around those who experience homelessness?
What do we need to keep in mind as we attempt to walk alongside those who experience homelessness, so that we are actually helping and not harming?

Lindsey Krinks (MTS, Vanderbilt Divinity School) is a street chaplain, activist, and nonprofit leader who has worked for over a decade on the front lines of social justice movements. She is the cofounder of Open Table Nashville, a nationally acclaimed interfaith homeless outreach nonprofit. Krinks has served as a fellow with the New Leaders Council, a national network for millennial leaders, and regularly speaks to student, church, and community groups across the country. She was featured in a documentary about Nashville’s largest homeless camp in 2019 and has been featured in dozens of Nashville news stories.

How Habits Fuel Faith with Jen Pollock Michel

How Habits Fuel Faith with Jen Pollock Michel

What are your habits of faith? What comes to mind when I say that? Do you have faith habits that ground you and keep you centered on God, even when the going gets tough? This episode, we are going to get into the benefits of faith habits, why they are important to our Christian faith, and how they can actually be the key to others entering the faith!
Jen answers questions like...
There are some who do not want their faith to become "religious" or routine. Even then, why do we want to make faith a habit?
Is there a particular heart posture we need to make our faith more than a mere habit but a continual, life-giving spiritual experience?
In the book, you include the faith habit of scripture. What other habits of faith do you consider to be the most vital to our Christian experience?

Jen Pollock Michel is the award-winning author of Teach Us to Want, Keeping Place, and Surprised by Paradox. She holds a B.A. in French from Wheaton College and an M.A. in Literature from Northwestern University. An American living in Toronto, Jen is a wife and mother of five.

The Mr. Rogers Effect: What America’s Beloved Neighbor Can Teach Us About Kingdom Building, with Dr. Anita Knight Kuhnley Part 1

My guest today is an expert on Mr. Rogers and wants to share the “7 Secrets to Bringing Out the Best in Yourself and Others from America’s Beloved Neighbor.” She is a Christian counselor and professor who has spent a lot of time examining the life and ways of Mr. Rogers, and in her latest book, she has given us some tangible ways to apply what he did in our own lives.
Anita answers questions like...
As a counselor, what drew you to Mr. Rogers as an example?
What was his impact at the time, and how does that continue today?
How was he able to love children like he did, even without a direct relationship, through their TV screens?
What did he understand that we just can’t grasp as a culture right now?

Dr. Anita Knight Kuhnley is associate professor of counseling at Regent University. Anita has worked as head counselor of a faith-based substance abuse facility, served as a counselor at a women’s community center, and directed a college counseling center. She is a popular conference speaker for the American Association of Christian Counselors and a blogger for the American Counseling Association. She lives in Virginia.

How Decorating Your Home Builds God's Kingdom with Shannon Acheson

Today, we are going to give you so many practical tips for creating spaces that you will love to be in, that will be welcoming to those you love, and that will make your home a place that can help build God’s kingdom!
Shannon will answer questions like...
How can our home point others to Jesus? How does it build God’s kingdom?
What is a "house blessing"?
Why should we care about the aesthetics or beauty in our home?


Shannon Acheson is a mostly self-taught designer, decorator, writer, and stylist. Although she has completed her interior design training, she’d much rather teach you how to decorate your own home than do it for you. She is the editor and designer behind the design and lifestyle company and blog
HomeMadeLovely.com (HomeMadeLovely.com). Her happy place is in the suburbs of Toronto, where she is a Homebody with a capital H, a Jesus girl, a happy wife to Dean, and a non-traditional homeschooling mom of two teenagers and a twenty-year-old.

Love Your Neighbour: Kids Off the Block with Diane Latiker

Love Your Neighbour: Kids Off the Block with Diane Latiker

Diane lives in the community of Roseland in Chicago, which has a history and reality of gang and gun violence. Instead of staying indoors, afraid, Diane walks out confidently to help the kids who are the most affected and give them hope for the future.
Diane answers questions like...
What did it look like to create connections with more and more of these kids? How did you keep them coming back?
How did you see the culture around you change from truly and extravagantly loving those kids?
How do we begin doing this in our own contexts and learn to really serve and love our own communities?

Diane Latiker was a CNN Top Ten Hero of the Year in 2011 for her tireless work with at-risk Chicago teens. Recipient of the 2013 BET Shine a Light Award, she is an in-demand speaker and has been featured by national media outlets, such as NBC News, CBS News, NPR's Weekend Edition, Ebony magazine, Time magazine, the Huffington Post, USA Today, and more. In 2019, she spoke at the US House Judiciary Committee's first hearing on gun violence in years, and she has just graduated from the Goldin Institute as a 2019 Chicago Peace Fellow.

How to Create Connection Through Hospitality with Morgan Tyree

How to Create Connection Through Hospitality with Morgan Tyree

NOTE: We recorded this episode quite a few weeks in advance before there were any strong pleas not to host in our homes anymore. We hope you bank some of these ideas for the future, get creative in the present, and continue to be safe!
This week we are taking a fun, Christmas-y intermission from our advocacy series to discuss hospitality.
My guess is that when you hear this word, you are either rejoicing OR you are breaking out in hives. To be honest, it is one of my FAVOURITE things, and I am full of ideas when it comes to holiday hosting, but… I know that is not the case for everyone. ALSO, this year is just weird with hosting, so I know that not everyone is going to be on board to invite a ton of people into their home, but my guest today quickly explains that hospitality is not just about having people over, it is so much more than that.
In this episode, Morgan Tyree discusses her new book, “Your Hospitality Personality: How to Confidently Create Connection and Community.” She speaks about Christmas hosting and gives plenty of practical advice on hosting a meaningful, connected, and Kingdom-building gathering. As you listen, I hope you write down some of the practical information but also start to see which of the hospitality personalities you might resonate with the most.
Morgan answers questions like...
What is the purpose of hospitality? How does it intersect with faith and building God's Kingdom?
Why is it significant that we know how we host best?
How do we practically create points of connection when we are gathering (making others feel loved, included, and welcomed)?

Advocacy + Ending Slavery with IJM's Anu George Canjanathoppil

Advocacy + Ending Slavery with IJM's Anu George Canjanathoppil

As you listen to today’s episode, I want you to take note of Anu’s passion, her own redemption story, her love of Jesus + Justice, and her HOPE. While it is certainly packed full of information about human trafficking, the impact of violence on marginalized people, and the impact of COVID on slavery, it is also her own story of redemption and many answered prayers. I believe you will leave this episode changed, as I did.
Anu answers questions like...
What do you believe are the greatest factors that would bring an end to slavery in our lifetime?
How has COVID impacted the needs that IJM is addressing?
Where do you see God moving in this fight?

Anu George Canjanathoppil has almost a decade of leadership experience with International Justice Mission (IJM). In Delhi, India she served as the Director of Operations and the Director of National Interventions, and in Chennai, India she served as the Director of Legal. During her time with IJM, she worked extensively to impact the justice system by collaborating with state and local governments in India. She currently serves as the Executive Director of IJM Canada. She oversaw the training of more than 17,000 police, government officials, and NGOs on the rescue and rehabilitation of individuals trapped in slavery and bringing criminals to justice. As a result of her leadership, 10,000 individuals have been rescued from forced-labour slavery.

Advocacy + Hospitality with Terri Ingraham

Advocacy + Hospitality with Terri Ingraham

In this episode, Terri and I dive into what the mission of her organization is, how to use hospitality on mission, and a little bit about sexual exploitation, especially that of children. This topic is heavy, but it is real and she gives us a little insight into how these children are exploited and groomed. So, whether you want to jot down some notes on protecting children or you want to know how you can use the gifts you already have to advocate, this episode is going to encourage you that the Lord has already placed in you what you need to do this work.
Terri answers questions like...
What is the "recipe" for having healthy, effective conversations that could actually lead to change?
Why does a topic like sex trafficking and hospitality work so well together?
How do we protect ourselves from compassion fatigue or even burnout?

Terri Ingraham is the founder and visionary for beLydia, an anti-trafficking non-profit based in Austin, Texas. beLydia uses hospitality to work to prevent child sex trafficking. She is a wife, mother of two, stepmother of three, grandmother ("Tutu") of four, and dog mom to three crazy dogs. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends in the kitchen and hanging out at the lake.

Joy Like a Mountain: The Church & Mental Health with Talasi Guerra

Joy Like a Mountain: The Church & Mental Health with Talasi Guerra

Talasi and I discuss her journey to biblical joy as a discipline in her life as a result of a long battle with anorexia, depression, and anxiety. She gives us insight into loving someone who is struggling with their mental health, what churches can examine within themselves to make room for those who are struggling, and the hope that we can all have in Jesus during difficult times.
Talasi answers questions like...
Why has it been so difficult for us as the church to start talking about mental health that affects so many people?
How do we use biblical joy to build God’s kingdom?
What are the steps to biblical joy?

Talasi Guerra is a Christian author and communicator who is passionate about infusing Jesus into her everyday life and empowering others to do the same. In addition to writing and speaking, she also has a passion for the local church. Having spent nearly a decade serving as the Director of Children and Family Ministries at a large church in western Canada, Talasi loves developing leaders and setting up ministries to win. She has been involved in training and equipping Christian leaders since 2010. She is a first-time author of the new book, “Joy like a Mountain: Unleash the Power of Biblical Joy on the Journey of Life.”
