#656 Holding Space for Grief with guest host Toni Collier & Dr. Curt Thompson and

Hey friends! We have a special surprise for you this week! Jamie’s close friend and podcast host of Still Coloring, Toni Collier, stands in as guest host for The Happy Hour! Toni is energetic, fun, not afraid to go deep, and is ready to talk about grief and community and the impact it has had in her personal life. Together with Dr. Curt Thompson, the two discuss the complexities of grief, the importance of acknowledging the grief process, as well as the crucial role our community plays in seasons of grief. Toni and Dr. Curt explore the scriptures and discuss how Jesus modeled grief and what his time on earth teaches us about the significance of allowing oneself to fully experience and express emotions.  Dr. Curt Thompson and Toni Collier are no strangers to The Happy Hour and we are so thankful for the two of them standing in this space and walking us through this important and timely topic. We hope this episode encourages you to become people of grief and that you can find beauty and goodness through the process.

HH #654 Finding Freedom in Angola Prison with Ronald Olivier

At just 16 years old Ronald Olivier made a decision that would change his life forever, but he wouldn’t let it define it. On today’s show Ronald shares his journey from growing up in poverty-stricken New Orleans to being sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole at the age of 16. He recounts his transformation in prison and how he became a missionary, spreading the gospel to other inmates. Despite facing challenges and unjust treatment, Ronald remains hopeful and finds purpose in his faith. He shares a powerful encounter with the victim's mother, ways he saw God move in other prisoners’ life, and the impact forgiveness had in changing his life forever.  Today, Ronald Olivier is a loving husband and father. He has his Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Ministry and is an ordained minister. For several years Ronald served as the Director of Chaplaincy for the Mississippi State Penitentiary, and today serves as a Client Advocate for the Louisiana Parole Project where he helps formerly incarcerated individuals transition back into society. Ultimately, Ronald's story is one of redemption and the power of God's grace, and we know you’ll love hearing about his journey of freedom, forgiveness, and redemption during his time in Angola prison. Ronald's life is a testament to the power of forgiveness and the possibility of redemption.

After a two year journey, Michael was finally diagnosed and treated, however, he would forever be wheelchair bound. How does one in a wheelchair survive in Sudan where you must be ready to run for your life at any moment?

She teaches the Bible in its historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts. Kristi leads biblical study trips to Israel, helping Westerners discover the Bible within the context in which it was written.

Today on the show we have Jordan Raynor to answer that very question! Jordan Raynor is a leading voice of the faith and work movement. Through his bestselling books, podcast, and devotionals, Jordan has helped millions of Christians in every country on earth connect the gospel to their work. In addition to his writing, Jordan serves as the Executive Chairman of Threshold 360, a venture-backed tech startup which Jordan previously ran as CEO following a string of successful ventures of his own. He lives in beautiful Tampa, Florida where his family has been for 7 generations. Jordan and I have a conversation around his newest book, The Sacredness of Secular Work. Jordan defines these terms and gives us warnings of traps we can tend to fall into when we’re thinking our work doesn’t matter. Jordan gives us a resounding yes, that what we’re doing today does matter for eternity, even if it feels mundane.

HH #642 Why Can't I Get It Together: Defining Your Reality

[CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER WHY CAN'T I GET IT TOGETHER] ( click here to pre-order it) You guys! My newest book is coming out THIS MONTH!! I'm so excited about it, and for a few reasons, I feel like this is my best book yet! I love the minds that came around to help write this book and I love how practical it is! Over the next few Fridays you'll hear me talk about the meaning and purpose behind each part this book is broken into. This week is Part 1: Defining Your Reality.  Too often I found myself comparing my life to someone else's. I imagine I'm not the only one who has done this. But how can we compare when our realities are so different? How can a 26 year old mother of toddlers possibly compare her life to a 47 year old mom of four teenagers? How can a stay at home mom compare where she's at in her career to a full-time working mother? It's just not fair to anyone when we do that. We have to look at our own lives and circumstances and define what our reality is in this season. We must ponder on the areas of life that feel out of control, and allow Jesus to come in and have his way! I can't wait to go through Part 2 with you next Friday!
