This episode features a mentor/hero/inspiration of mine named Lisa Jennett – who we affectionately call Sunshine.

Since then, Sunshine and her husband, Tank, have become even more dear to us. Please enjoy this re-release of one of my favorite co...

The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton Discovering More in Your Relationship with God and Your Community with Podcaster, Nikki Dutton, Ep. 097We all know the feeling of being unsatisfied. Instead of wrestling with the tension of feeling unsatisfied, we often settle and don’t move forward to experience the “abundantly more” life that God invites us to live with Him. Often, the tension of feeling unsatisfied can be God’s invitation for you to experience more with Him and within your community. What’s beautiful about the abundantly more life is that it can equally be found in the seasons of sorrow and the seasons of joy and that’s exactly what we discuss this week. Joining us on the podcast this...

Finding Hope in the Stories We Didn't Choose – Kelly StreiffKelly Streiff has a strong voice of encouragement and hope for everyone, but especially those who resonate with the loss of a child. The two of us have been connected for years through sharing a similar passion and practice of speaking, but over the last six months our stories connected in a deeper way. What I love about Kelly is that she is clear about the pain she has experienced, but she is equally – if not more – bold about the hope, goodness, and life that is still available to us even in the middle of the story. This episode has al...

She is brilliant and has a gift for discussing theological truths in a way that intersects with real, everyday life. She portrays truth about God with clarity while holding tension for how that is reflected this side of eternity. I distinctly remember the conversations from class continuing on over dinner and into the evenings with my cohort while we metabolized the rich theological concepts from class that day – which is exactly what this episode felt like. Dr. Emily McGowin is an Assistant Professor of Th...

But these words reach beyond quarantine and speak specifically into life today with words like, "A Liturgy For Those in Need of a Good Cry", "A Liturgy For a Lunch Break", and "A Liturgy For Those Who Haven't Belly Laughed Recently".
