Episode 43: What You Really Need with Ellie B.

Hey, friends! Welcome back to Share Your Story with Ellie. Today’s episode is a little different. It’s time for a little story time. After all, this podcast is called “Share Your Story”, right? Now, these events are unfolding in real time, not wrapped up in bows, and I’m not even sure there is a main conclusion or lesson. However, it’s a story that I felt the Lord invited me to share. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Episode 42: A Prayer for You with Ellie B.

Hey friends! Rather than sharing a few of my favorite things or resources to help deepen your faith, I feel led to pray over you. I hope this is a prayer that offers you peace and hope in the midst of your day. Return to it when you need a big sister, friend, or fellow follower of Jesus to encourage you. Be blessed!

Episode 41: It Comes Down to Surrender with Mac Macon

Welcome back to the Share Your Story with Ellie Podcast. I’m thrilled you’re here! Firstly, I want to say thank you for the kind words you’ve offered to both me and Mac after last Thursday’s episode. Sharing your story requires incredible vulnerability, which can feel really, really risky. Your texts and “me too’s” have brought comfort and confidence that getting real with life’s gritty truths matter. Thank you. Today’s episode is Part 2 of my conversation with Mac Macon. If you missed ⁠Part 1⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/share-your-story-with-ellie/id1712287157?i=1000668424774], please make sure you go back and listen, as we’ll pick back up right where we left off. Mac tells more details of his battle with alcoholism and substance abuse. He also shares the tragic moment of losing a dear friend due to drugs, and he details the way God meets with him through AA. I’m grateful Mac gave so much of himself and his story in order to inspire vulnerability, change, and ultimately, hope for others who may be walking a similar path. I can’t tell you how amazed I am by Mac’s story and commitment to his new life. Growing up alongside Mac, I never knew the real depths of what he was struggling with– not just in substance abuse but in believing the lies of the enemy about his identity. I remember hearing our mom’s prayers over his life–and all of us as their kids– that he would find ultimate peace in the Lord. His current reality is ushered in by the many prayers of others, yes, but all the glory is to God, who never stops pursuing Mac and never stops pursuing us. Mac’s surrender and perspective to take action WITH God reminds me of the book of James. Mac’s life points to the reality that it is only through God that he can be saved, but it is not just being a hearer of the Word but also a doer that keeps him continually walking in freedom.
