Episode 446: David Platt on What We Can Do For Unreached People Groups, Developing Muscles for Having Hard Conversations, and What Should Unify Us vs. What Should Divide Us

He's one of my favorite pastors, authors, and fellow Georgia Bulldogs (GOOO DAWWWGGS!!). David Platt is back on the podcast to talk about unreached people groups, being aware of the history around us and living in light of those things, and what it looks like to honor brothers and sisters who feel differently about experiences than we do. David's newest book Don't Hold Back is incredible. I highlighted, underlined, and cried all the way through it. I highly recommend grabbing a copy to read this weekend!Head over to Urgentneeds.org to see the Radical campaign to reach unreached people that David talked about.. . . . Go to hereforyoutour.com to get your tickets to our upcoming tour this June!Want to gift a ticket to a friend?

Episode 443: Beth Moore on Miracles and Tragedies that are All Knotted-Up

Oh friends. This is a special one. Beth Moore is a real faith hero of mine and I'm so grateful to Beth for her vulnerability and wisdom in this conversation. Her newest book, All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir is poignant and important. It's a beautiful and redemptive story and I am so excited to share it with you.(FYI we jump into some pretty deep and tough topics today such as sexual abuse. These topics may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit much for their little ears.). . . . Go to hereforyoutour.com to get your tickets to our upcoming tour this June!Want to gift a ticket to a friend?
