WHOA That's Good Podcast

Are you ready to change your life? Sadie's guest, author Ann Voskamp, says we should start practicing gratitude. You can't be fearful and grateful at the same time! You are not alone in your hard story! Ann shares how she came to be the first Christian in her family, how she met her husband, and how her blog with about 800 subscribers paved the way for her to then write the bestselling book "One Thousand Gifts." Ann encourages us that if we're TRULY looking for transforming change in our lives, we need to look to the cross, NOT self-help books! Sadie reminds us that God doesn't need us to position ourselves in such a way that He can use us — He can do it without us! Not sure of where to start? Ann's advice: Do what you love, where you are, and see what can happen! Plus, what is "cruciformation?" And Ann tells her family's story as an encouragement for any parents considering adoption.

Nick Vujicic, known as the man without limbs, is living proof that God can use a man born without arms and legs to be His hands & feet in the world. Sadie and Nick talk about staying humble and how an attitude of gratitude is one of the best ways to pull yourself out of a dark, even depressed season. Nick shares his struggles with depression and loneliness and how being bullied when he was a kid led to believing the lie that he should take his own life. Thankfully, he wasn't successful and his mission now through his organization, Life Without Limbs, is to share the Gospel with as many people as possible. The next time you want to tap out because it's too hard, start counting your blessings, naming them one by one, and remember that Christ didn't call us to an easy life, but to love God, love others, and share the good news to everyone!  Learn more about your ad choices.
