  When What You Prayed For Is Harder Than You Expected with Melissa Miller

  Aug 18, 202638 minS9

  Send us Fan Mail Have you ever prayed for something just to receive the answer and think, "what on earth was I thinking??" Sometimes living in God's yes is harder than we expect. What do we do with these mixed emotions that no one seems to be able to help us sort through? Melissa Miller is a family girl, writer, and Reboot Retreat facilitator living in Tennessee. She is a contributor to sites such as Mother.ly , Her View from Home, and the YouVersion Bible app. Melissa has been married for over twenty years, has five children, and is an advocate for vulnerable children in foster care. Having experienced an unconventional adoption as a teen and later adopting a sibling set from foster care, she has a heart to help kids from hard places find belonging. Melissa loves playing pickleball and thinks “just one more chapter” is a perfectly reasonable bedtime strategy. Conversation Highlights: Don’t be afraid to ask God for what’s on your heart Keep an eye out for the things that God is already doing in your life We may expect God to move in one way but he has a better way planned Remember what God has promised and cling to that instead of your expectations Let God be the hero and author of your story, your job is to respond to him and obey along the way Change fatigue, when there are lots of changes happening at once and your nervous system is having a hard time keeping up We can beat ourselves up with the saying, “But I prayed for this”, but we need to name & validate how we feel. It doesn’t mean we’re not grateful, it means we’re adjusting Just because it’s a big God story doesn’t mean it isn’t hard Which season are you in? Blooming, Building, Balancing or Bittersweet? What worked in the last season probably won’t work for this new season My feelings are real but not forever Connect with Melissa!

  Every Woman Deserves Hope: Obedience Leads to Lives Changed with Rachelle Starr

  Aug 11, 202633 minS9

  Send us Fan Mail I had the opportunity to talk to one of the women who was in the film, Rachelle Star, the founder of Scarlet Hope. That was the ministry highlighted in the film. Rachelle's story of obedience to reach those who others overlook is absolutely inspiring! Rachelle Starr is first and foremost a lover of Jesus. In 2007, Rachelle founded the nonprofit, Scarlet Hope, when God called her to share His hope and love with exploited and trafficked women. Scarlet Hope has since expanded across ten cities in the United States and has trained thousands to launch similar nonprofits worldwide under Rachelle’s leadership. Rachelle is an entrepreneur at heart and enjoys developing innovative ways to reach and disciple women, wherever they are. As a speaker, coach, and author of Outrageous Obedience , Rachelle has shared her story on numerous platforms to inspire women to live an outrageous life for Jesus. When Rachelle’s not sharing the gospel in a strip club, you will find her spending time with her husband, Josh, and two boys, baking tasty treats, or playing card games. This conversation was such an inspiration to me personally. Even after years of following the Lord faithfully there is always more waiting for us. I highly encourage you to watch this film. You can download it directly off the website (linked below) or you can buy the DVD (linked below). There is also a FREE 6 week Bible Study created to go with this film and again... I can't encourage you enough to do it! Find some friends or your Bible Study group, watch the movie and then do the study. God will do a mighty work in your life through this film if you allow Him to. Conversation Highlights: Scarlet Hope offers hope in the form of home cooked meals that open doors to conversations about Christ When the heart of someone changes, real internal change occurs Simply listening to others, not trying to fix their wounds or their problems, can make such an impact on their life Ask questions that are genuinely curious, because the Holy Spirit will show up in that moment & reveal things to others Looking back and remembering what God has done in the past continues to grow our faith Every step you take, God is right there - especially when you are being obedient to the Holy Spirit After you’ve grown your obedience muscle with the Lord, no matter what he calls you to next, you’ll be more inclined to do it because you’ve seen His faithfulness before Before the first step of obedience, you have to be convicted by the Holy Spirit to pursue it Connect with Rachelle and watch the film!

  A Heavenly Father Changes Everything: He Calls Me Daughter with Rick Alitzer

  Aug 4, 202640 minS9

  Send us Fan Mail We are starting off the season by talking with the Director and creator of the outstanding film, He Calls Me Daughter. Rick was one of my favorite interviews of the entire season. His enthusiasm is contagious and the film God commissioned him to create changed my life. I don't just say that because he's on the podcast, I tell you that because it is 100% the truth. Rick Altizer directed the Kendrick Brothers’ documentary Show Me the Father , which played in more than 1,100 theaters nationwide and earned an A+ CinemaScore—an honor achieved by only a handful of films each year. In addition, Altizer has directed three award-winning documentaries for comedian Chonda Pierce: Unashamed (#2 film in America), Enough (#2 film in America), and Laughing in the Dark (#5 film in America). A two-time Dove Award–nominated music producer, Altizer has sold more than one million albums and has produced music for artists including Johnny Cash, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, and Russ Taff. As a recording artist, he has released seven studio albums and earned three Top 10 singles. Altizer is currently directing the feature documentary He Calls Me Daughter . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Jan. They have two sons, David and Matthew, two daughters-in-law, Laura and Kimmy, and three grandsons: Ryan, Caleb, and JJ. "He Calls Me Daughter" finished in the top 5 releases at the box office during its theatrical run. The film has a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. What you'll hear in this episode: God has given us everything we need because He knows it all God is not bound by our time or dates, He moves beyond what we can comprehend A Father Wound response would sound like “I knew I couldn’t trust you God.” but that can be reset and healed A functional orphan, someone who goes to church, does all the things yet doesn’t really believe God is their Father. They struggle with actually believing God is for them and with them. Learning to trust God is a struggle but He is trustworthy Our problem with connecting with God could be that we are projecting on to God the traits of our earthly dad, and those two things need to disconnect, God is the perfect Father I don’t feel valued, I don’t feel seen: the result of a father wound It’s through Christ that we are designated as daughter to God Connect with Rick and watch the film!
