How to Human with Carlos Whittaker
Toni Collier sits down with Carlos Whittaker, human hope coach, to discuss his upcoming new release, “How to Human.” This book is all about the concept of being human, and being a good one. It talks about being someone that loves, that presses into pain and difference in discourse, and says, “You know what? I can love anyway. I can bring hope into this world.” Toni and Carlos also discuss conviction, but the conviction that we get to embrace and then move into action. You don’t have to stay in a valley of painful conviction. Instead, you could move to action and experience real freedom and real hope.

Betrayal, Loaded Grief & The Church with Jo Saxton
Toni Collier has a conversation with Jo Saxton, someone who has been like a mentor to her. Jo talks about the dysfunction in her previous church and healing from pain in the church experience. Toni and Jo discuss what it looks like to be in a church that is supposed to be worshiping God, that has a vertical posture to Him, but that’s also absolutely broken with crazy human beings. What do we do after we’ve been hurt by the very place that we’re supposed to be receiving healing and miracles? How do we get back up? How do we grieve really well, and what are the next steps to inviting Jesus to meet us right where we are?Links:Books by Jo SaxtonPersonal Instagram | Ezer CollectivePodcast Instagram | Lead Stories PodcastWebsite: https://www.josaxton.com/Sponsor a child with Africa New Life

Not Leaving the Room with Jessica Honegger
Toni Collier had the chance to have a conversation with her good friend Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday. They talk about trauma, trauma being felt as pain, and that pain being experienced alone. When we wonder how in the world we feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, it’s through community that we find people that will look us in the eye and say, “I’m not leaving the room.” Jessica also shares a really traumatic story of her son almost drowning. She also speaks to perseverance, and how perseverance is practicing letting God love the parts we really despise. This episode will help you figure out how to heal those parts that you despise, how to welcome those aspects into your life, and how to allow them to experience freedom.Links:Author of Imperfect CouragePersonal Instagram | Going Scared Podcast Website: https://www.jessicahonegger.com/Noonday Collection Instagram | Shop the CollectionSponsor a child with Africa New Life
