Tuesday Truths: Marinate Your Meat I believe that you can take something good and make it better - like marinating. As a mature believer, consuming meat - a.k.a solid food - is a sign of our spiritual ability to break down God’s word. Eat up and dig into His word! Because nothing will satisfy you more than the bread of life, meat of His word, and living water. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tuesday Truths: Is That Wise? Proverbs encourages us to choose wisdom. When we are faced with making important decisions, ask yourself less about what is right or what is wrong and begin to ask yourself what is wise. Don’t ask if it’s wrong. Don’t ask if it’s right. Ask if it’s WISE. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back, friends! This week we are talking about finding hope in hard places. Our guest, Levi Lusko, is a pastor, author, podcaster, and church planter. But one of his most cherished role is that of father. Several years ago, I remember learning about the tragic passing of daughter Lenya and it hit way too close to home. Pastor Levi is going to share some amazing learnings on finding hope in hard places. Hope can only be experienced after grief. Four lessons on grief that I’ve compiled from my book How To Have Your Life Not Suck are: Acknowledge Reality Accept Reactions Avoid Remedying Affirm Reengaging If we know how to grieve well, we will heal well. And faster. In addition to being able to survive pain and loss, I believe we can also know how to deal with those who will walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death… and you can let them know, “you will fear no evil” (Psalm 23:1). Pastor Levi has so many books and amazing resources that you should check out. It would mean the world if you tagged him @levilusko and @biancaolthoff on social media and shared what you learned. As my thank you to you, two lucky winners will get a copy of Through The Eyes of a Lion: Facing Impossible Pain, finding Incredible Power.

Welcome back to another episode so we can GO THERE! As we dive into this episode on DECONSTRUCTING FAITH I’m going to be honest: this podcast is layered and complex. As you listen, I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed—I want you to feel hopeful. On today’s podcast we talk to rapper, writer, and philanthropist Lecrae Moore. This man has more awards than his shelf can contain and has given back to his community in more ways than I can explain on the show.  We will discuss: Origins of the philosophical concept of deconstruction (and how faith communities are applying it) Mental health in minority communities Man wounds aren't God wounds Why therapy and counseling matter Reconstructing after deconstructing For those on a spiritual journey of figuring out your faith, let me say, don’t give up! Your labor will not be in vain. I firmly believe that when you seek God you will find him. When you call to Him, he will answer. As always my podcast friends, let me say how much I appreciate you.

Friend, do you know what time it is? It’s time to talk about FASHION. Fashion is equal parts intrigue and mystery for me. It’s like beef tartare. I know I should like it and all of its fanciness, but at my core I’m afraid to look it at and even more afraid to try being daring and make a fool of myself in the process. Maybe you are a fabulous or maybe you feel fabuLESS. Today we are talking about what to FEEL in what we wear and how to find our own self confidence no matter what shape you are. God cares about the minutia of our lives and the desires of our hearts. Another person who cares is clothing stylist, Zoe Juarez. She has styled for companies like Nordstrom’s, Macy’s, and styled photoshoots for magazines, models, and multi-purpose consultations. Zoe has a unique style for her clothes, but she always has a heart to make people feel fabulous. She has graciously offered a FREE 1-hour Consultation for one lucky listener to walk through your wardrobe and help you style outfits or to help you create a personalized Pinterest board for inspiration. All you have to do is tag @zBelleJ and @biancaolthoff to win a FREE personalized styling consultation. Thank you for listening and I hope you subscribe and rate this show so we end up in the ears of people far and wide.  Love you guys and can't wait to chat next week! 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices.
