Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesBrogan Hayes: Better Friends with JesusIt's another Rough Draft: KIDS day!
Brogan Hayes shares some beautiful words with us.
He recognizes Jesus as caring and kind and loving. He knows, even in elementary school, that there sometimes is suffering now and joy to come. And the goal is becoming "better friends with Jesus."

Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesMonica Gossett: Watching God WorkThere probably is no other Rough Drafts guest who abuses me as much as this week's guest. She was our most reluctant storyteller, but after some persuading from her family, she agreed to tell her God story.
She talks about taking the elevator instead of the stairs. She shares about working from, not for God's love. She experiences God's tugs and nudges.
My favorite part of her story is the way that God works through people, politicians, and even systems to bring about a beautiful end. I know you'll be blessed by your time with M...2023-05-301h 01Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesMaggie Dawson: Never AloneEpisode 16 is our second installment of Rough Drafts: KIDS! This week, we venture into the terrifying halls of middle school and visit with an absolute gem.
We enjoy bursts of joy...the beauty of having a "forever sister"...and the important promise that God never leaves us alone. He is always with us.
Welcome Maggie Dawson!

Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesBrannon Wilkerson: From Life Saver to Life, SavedThis week's episode is a story of how faith, family, and the kindness of your people can get you out of the darkness. A rescue worker finds himself rescued--more than once.
Brannon Wilkerson is the kind of guy you're really grateful is answering the call on your worst day. Listen as he tells about having to be on the other end of some of those calls.

Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesCaleb Hiatt: God in Thunder and LightningMonica Gossett had a great idea. She said that since Jesus thinks the kingdom of God belongs to kids--maybe we ought to listen to them more than we usually do!
So for the next few weeks, we're going to have a summertime "Rough Drafts" Treat. On Thursdays, we'll drop special episodes from some really cool kids.
This week is my favorite episode. Am I biased? Absolutely. Does that bother me? Absolutely not.
My son, Caleb Hiatt, joins me and Monica for a conversation about God and faith and fear and the afterlife. I...2023-05-1822 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesJason and Megan Bennett: The Mother’s day Special"Life doesn't come with a manual. It comes with a mother."
Today's episode has three very special guests, but one of them slept through most of our conversation!
Jason & Megan Bennett join us with Brooks, one of the newest babies at Burns Church. Listen while they share the joys of "mom brain" and new life!

Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesDonna Hiett: A Good Dad, a Good Church, and a Good LifeSome people just refresh us and encourage us. This week's guest is one of those people.
She's not one to complain. She works so very hard for anyone and everyone. She's never at home! You can find her in the nursing home, caring for a friend. Or playing cards at church. Or cleaning someone's house. Or delivering cookies. Or...or....or.... She's always doing good.
Donna Hiett tells us about the faith she learned from her dad. It's a blessing to share a good dad, a good church, and a good life!

Do you remember the story of how you stopped?
What about when you came back?
This week Jerry Hall walks us through some of his journey from seeing the Bible and church as a list of rules to be followed to coming to a place where we trust in Jesus and his love for us. Praise the Lord!
2023-05-0230 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesChristen Rhodes: Toddlers are like FeelingsDo you know anybody who lives like a "lost puppy"?
They don't know who they are. They don't know what they want.
What do they do? They blend in. They please people. They end up missing so much of what God has intended for them.
This week's story is a story of another way. Christen Rhodes shares with us her story of finding her identity in Christ. Once you know who you are and whose you are, you can walk through anything.
2023-04-2549 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesMarshall Sullivan: From Sales to JesusI couldn't sell ice in the dessert, but today's guest could sell match sticks to the devil!
Marshall didn't just use his gifts to earn a commission. If you know Marshall at all, you know how he loves to pray.
I'll never forget one Bible class when he had one student start a stopwatch. Then he had another student read the Lord's prayer. When he was done, he looked at the time, and he asked us if we were trying to impress God or men by praying longer than the son!
Marshall has...2023-04-2028 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesMiranda Fuson: Boot Camp PrayersWrite letters to your family or talk to God?
That's the choice facing today's guest in her time at Paris Island.
The choice she made set her direction for years to come.
Listen this week to a few moments of God at work in Miranda Fuson's story!
2023-04-1827 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesFrank Bradford: Hope for TomorrowWhen I first got to meet today's guest, I wasn't really sure what to do with him.
To be fair, there aren't that many grown-ups who can pull off wearing a clown costume or pulling a quarter from a stranger's ear!
You're going to love him. But one of the things that took me a while to learn is that underneath the magic and the fun and the goofy is a real depth and quality. He's the real deal.
He has a way of finding the rainbows after the storm. In fact, you'll...2023-04-1138 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesCarol Todd: The Best Funeral Ever!There is nobody quite like Carol "Granny" Todd.
She's done it all. Belly dancing. Youth ministry. Grocery stores. The Hokey Pokey. Fostering.
She's even got her funeral planned--and you're invited!
Our time with her seemed exactly right. We got interrupted midway through by tornado sirens and phone calls.
But don't let the fun fool you. Carol has some deep words for us. Our faith can't be in people. They'll let us down. But God will hold us up!
2023-04-0637 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesMartha Harding: It Wasn’t ’til I Stumbled"Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage."
By that measure, today's guest is one of the bravest I know. She shares her story of how her plans and dreams for life met an unexpected detour.
Martha's story drives us to the power of God's grace and God's Spirit. You don't want to miss her!
2023-04-0441 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesGreer Hinson: The Power of Being PowerlessHave you ever noticed that all the 12 step programs begin the same way?
Step one is always the same. Admit that we are powerless. Recognize that our lives have become unmanageable.
It's hard to imagine a step that sounds less appealing than that, but in this week's conversation, we learn that when we realize we can't do it alone, that's when we'll see God's power at work.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9-11)

Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or delusional...and this week's guest is neither! She's been through plenty, but despite all of the difficulties we navigate, she has made an incredibly serious decision. She has chosen joy!
Here is Peggy Donegan and a glimpse into her decision to be serious about joyful faith.
2023-03-2142 minRough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our StoriesDebbie Martin: A Landlord, a Fire Tower, and ”Doing Their Best”This week's guest is so special. She's amazing. She's deep. She's a seeker.
Life has moved her around plenty of times. She's even packed a house--not the stuff in it, but the house itself--and moved it! But through it all, she has found stability, joy, and even peace.
You'll be blessed by hearing how God is at work in Debbie's story.

Working PeopleWhat Could a Worker-Focused Just Transition Look Like? (w/ Megan Milliken Biven, James Hiatt, & Jeremy Chittendon)As humanity barrels towards climate catastrophe, the need to envision and build more ecologically sustainable societies and economies becomes more pressing with each passing day. However, our collective imagination is often so limited that it becomes impossible to envision societies and economies that aren't organized around the quest for profit and infinite growth. So, what could a "degrowth" economy look like? To some "degrowth" is a dirty word signaling a future of austerity that would translate to tremendous losses in jobs and economic stability for working people as societies race to cut back economic production to ward off the...2022-12-041h 19
