• Episode 107: Jemar Tisby on Frolicking in Your Purpose

  When I became physically disabled in my mid-twenties, much of the world became inaccessible to me—including faith spaces. I’ve now spent nearly two decades making a seat at the world’s table for people living with disabilities, which is why I feel such deep kinship with my guest today. His life is about making space at the table, too.Jemar Tisby is a best-selling author, historian, and professor who is leading the church in the pursuit of racial justice. We’re talking all accessing your God-given purpose, creating inclusive communities, seeking the kingdom of God, and raising resilient kids. This conversation is rich with wisdom and I hope you’ll join us at the table for it.What we mentioned:The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism by Jemar Tisby - https://a.co/d/5nb0fppHow to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice by Jemar Tisby - https://a.co/d/58D4cY7The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance by Jemar Tisby - https://a.co/d/aXphkaPThe Witness - https://thewitnessinc.com/Footnotes by Jemar Tisby (Substack) - https://jemartisby.substack.com/The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron - https://a.co/d/5iS6rVGStories of the Spirit of Justice by Jemar Tisby - https://a.co/d/58D4cY7Jemar on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jemartisbyScriptures we referenced:Galatians 3:28Ephesians 4:1-16Joshua 1:1-9Matthew 22:37More about Katherine & Hope HealsFor more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet’s most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/

• Episode 106: Zach Meerkreebs on Consecrated Confidence

  There will be moments in our lives that change us forever—terrible moments, epic moments, and maybe even ordinary moments. My second-chance story and my life’s calling spun out of the worst moment of my life. And, somehow, God made it into something really, really good.My guest today is Zach Meerkreebs. He was at the center of the Asbury outpouring, an historical spiritual movement that changed lives around the world. That moment marked Zach, but it’s not the only moment that has drawn him into deeper wonder, surrender, and humility. During our time together, he shared about how the loss of his daughter and being let go from his first job in ministry have been as important as any revival to his spiritual formation and friendship with Jesus.What we mentioned:Lower: Igniting Spiritual Awakening Through Radical Humility by Zach Meerkreebs - https://a.co/d/fBFvr7IAbout Staughn Coleman - https://www.commonerscommunion.com/aboutThe Daily Examen - https://www.jesuits.org/spirituality/the-ignatian-examen/Barnabas Collective - https://www.barnabascollective.org/Zach on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zachmeerkreebs/Scriptures we referenced:Philippians 2:6Matthew 7:6John 15:15-16Esther 9:1Ecclesiastes 7:2Psalm 139:1-24About Katherine & Hope HealsFor more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet’s most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals

• Episode 105: Beth Moore on Walking with God

  In our debut episode of an all-new season, I sat down with my spiritual hero and dear friend Beth Moore to talk about all the creative ways we can walk—or roll!—with God. Beth and I dug into how she’s kept a tender heart when life got tough, loving her husband through the valleys of mental illness, and navigating closed doors when pursuing her calling. I will remember this conversation forever. I’m praying our time with Beth encourages you, comforts you, and challenges you to run (or roll) your race well to the very end.What we mentioned:All My Knotted Up Life: A Memoir by Beth Moore - https://a.co/d/5ignBRQEsther: It’s Tough Being a Woman Bible Study by Beth Moore - https://store.lproof.org/products/esther-member-bookLetter to My Brothers - https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.htmlWalking with God: A Five Week Journey In Step with the Savior by Beth Moore - https://www.tyndale.com/p/walking-with-god/9798400510175Scriptures we referenced:Hebrews 12:1-21 Corinthians 11:1Hebrews 13:7-8Hebrews 6:10Psalm 62:8Acts 14:22John 15:82 Corinthians 6:82 Corinthians 4:8-10More information:For more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet’s most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/
