Chris Bolkema: Living With Joy

Chris Bolkema: Living With Joy

My friend Chris Bolkema has gone through a couple episodes in her life that rocked her world. Yet she still lives with a joy that most of us struggle to find due to her faith in Jesus. We'll never know or understand why things happen the way they do, at least not on this side of eternity. God's ways truly are higher than our ways. But we can take comfort in knowing how He walks the path with us through the highs and lows. Connect with Andy on Facebook and Instagram @andy_troeger.

Jon Seidl: Abiding With God to Conquer Addiction

If you know my story, you understand that my father's alcoholism played a big role in my younger years. Having shared that journey, I was curious what content was out there connecting Christianity and alcoholism. I discovered more than I expected, but one book that stood out to me is called "Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic" by this week's guest, Jon Seidl. Jon practiced some radical vulnerability (his term) in the book, sharing his story and a solid four-step plan to use faith to conquer addiction. I'm glad to share this story and hope you'll connect with Jon as well! Connect with Jon on Instagram @jonseidl or look for his book "Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic" Connect with Andy on Facebook and Instagram @andy_troeger.

Damon Fleming: An Audience of One

I never set out to have a podcast, so after finishing Season One, it took a little time to determine whether I wanted to keep at it. In the end, however, I think "Divine Fingerprints" is God's project -- both the book and the podcast. I believe there's value in doing God's work, and I don't think He wanted me to stop with one season. As of now, Season Two may only include a few new episodes, but hey, this is an unpaid side gig! To kick off Season Two, I visit with my friend and former colleague at Hope Christian, Damon Fleming. Damon was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2014, and he's been dealing with it ever since. When we recorded this episode last summer, Damon was in complete isolation after being hospitalized and going through treatment that left him weak and vulnerable to being around anyone. God's presence and the evidence of His work in our lives takes on a very different meaning when facing down an illness that threatens life itself. Thankfully, Damon is currently in remission, and I hope you'll join me in praying for that to continue. I also hope you'll enjoy his perspective.

Bob Goff: Instagram Live Divine Fingerprints

The Divine Fingerprints podcast really is Bob Goff's idea, so it only seemed fitting to conclude Season 1 with our conversation from Instagram live, filmed a couple of weeks ago. The format of this episode will be very different -- mainly because Bob is the one asking me questions this time around! This is a more casual and wide-ranging conversation, but we do come back to my hope for this book and the podcast itself.

Skip Heitzig: Pastor's Perspective

I have attended Calvary Church for most of the 18+ years I have spent in Albuquerque. In that time, I've learned a great deal about God and His character from the teaching of Pastor Skip Heitzig. In this episode, Skip shares about God makes Himself present to us and how our stories are meant to glorify Him. He also explains how we can test our purpose as a method to discern if we are following where God is leading. As always, Skip is a wealth of knowledge and information, shared with a heart pointed toward Christ. You won't want to miss this conversation!
