Episode 65—Echoing Hope with Kurt Willems

None of us live free of difficulties or hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And how can we ever grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus. In this conversation, pastor and author Kurt Willems reveals how understanding the humanity of Jesus can radically transform our identity and empower us to step into our pain-filled world in a new way.

Episode 64—Wisdom and Vulnerability with Dave Willis

After witnessing up close the moral failure of two of his friends—both pastors and co-workers at the time—Dave Willis knew that above anything else he might accomplish as a pastor, he wanted to guard and honor his marriage. That personal mission has since turned into an international ministry through which Dave and his wife, Ashley, provide support, encouragement, and resources for men and women to build healthy and God-honoring marriages. As part of the XO Marriage team, Dave and Ashley host the Naked Marriage Podcast, speak around the country and around the world at marriage events, and have written a number of books, articles, and blogs. Dave joins me on this episode to talk about wisdom and transparency, as well as his latest books, Naked and Healthy [https://amzn.to/38fRPJR] and Think Like Jesus [https://amzn.to/3bhIEdW].

Episode 63—Turning of Days with Hannah Anderson

From the beginning, Scripture tells of a God who created the heavens and earth. It tells how he made the sea and land, the rosebud and beetle. But what might the heavens and earth tell us were we to listen to them? What wonders might the birds and flowers share? What might we discover of order, chaos, beauty, and unabashed grace? Hannah Anderson joins me on this episode and shares a glimpse of what it means to discover the kinds of spiritual and theological truths that are woven deep within the natural world.

Episode 62—Instant Family with Jimmie and Kayah Roper

Life for the Roper family has been surprising at every turn: a young man from inner-city Detroit called to pastor a church in Kentucky; an interracial marriage; becoming parents AND grandparents overnight through foster care. By living to be obedient to God in the small, ordinary things, Jimmie and Kayah have seen God do the extraordinary in their midst. On this episode, the Ropers share about what it means to be obedient to God’s call, even when you don’t feel qualified.

Episode 61—An Impossible Marriage with Laurie and Matt Krieg

Attractions to the same sex. Unprocessed childhood trauma. Porn addiction. Matt and Laurie’s marriage seemed doomed. If marriage is primarily about attraction, it was. If marriage is a gospel picture, it absolutely wasn’t. Matt and Laurie Krieg join me on this episode of the Ordinary Faith Podcast to talk about struggle, faith, and the gospel that has freed them both to love.
