From Foreclosure to Flourishing: Tori Clark’s Story of Faith and Resilience

God Answers in Detail with Mark Holloway

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559022/fan_mail/new] Mark Holloway is back, and this conversation goes even deeper. The New Zealand author of The Freedom Diaries returns to the She Laughs Podcast to tackle the big questions: What have we gotten wrong about God because of religion? How do you actually hear his voice? And what do you do when you doubt? Mark breaks down how religion has shaped our picture of God in ways that don't line up with the full story of scripture, and why that matters for anyone trying to get close to him. He walks through his method of written conversation with God step by step, addresses the fear of getting it wrong, and talks about how even the strongest believers, John the Baptist included, wrestle with doubt. This is one of those conversations that will shift something in you. What we cover: * What religion has gotten wrong about God and what scripture actually says about his character * A fresh look at John 3:16 through the original Greek and what it changes * The theology of penal substitution: what it is, when it started, and why it matters * How your relationship with your parents shapes your picture of God * The step-by-step method for having a written conversation with God and what to do when you get stuck * Why you will doubt what you hear and how to keep going anyway * What to ask God when you feel far from him or unworthy of his attention * How the enemy uses shame and distraction to keep you from hearing God's voice * How Mark reached a vegan skeptic without ever mentioning Christianity * Why asking and keep asking is the whole thing, Matthew 7:7 Mark's book: 📖 The Freedom Diaries — available wherever books are sold

"called to comfort" with Debbi Chesney

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559022/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we sit down with Debbi Chesney — community chaplain, lifelong friend, and one of the most faithful (and funniest) people you'll ever meet. Debbi shares what it really looks like to walk alongside people through life's hardest and most sacred moments, from grief and loss to baptisms and celebrations — and yes, even a hamster blessing. We talk about what it means to be called by God to something you didn't expect, how to carry the weight of others without letting it crush you, and why presence matters more than having the right answers. Debbi also opens up about her own struggles with anxiety and doubt, what she does when faith feels distant, and the profound moment that changed her ministry forever. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of the mess — or if you've been afraid to take a step forward in your faith — this episode is for you. What we cover: * What a community chaplain actually does (and why Debbi can't believe she gets paid for it) * How to be present with people in pain without carrying what isn't yours to carry * Why feelings are liars and how to anchor yourself in God's word instead * The power of humor in ministry and how laughter opens doors faith talk can't * Debbi's most unforgettable moment in ministry — a story about a fallen soldier and showing up when you feel completely unqualified * What to do when you feel overwhelmed, alone, or like you're not enough * How to invite God into every single moment, not just the big ones * Generational faith — the seeds we plant that we may never see grow Connect with Debbi: 📧 dchesney85@gmail.com [dchesney85@gmail.com]

Heartbreak Did Not Get The Final Word— with Carey Clancy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559022/fan_mail/new] What happens when the life you thought you had turns out to be a lie? In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Nancy sits down with her sorority sister and longtime friend Carey Clancy, a woman who walked through one of the most devastating betrayals imaginable and came out on the other side softer, wiser, and more beautifully herself than ever. Carey's story is not for the faint of heart, but it is for every woman who has ever asked, "Who am I now?" after loss. It's about a 20-year marriage that hid a double life. It's about discovering that every account had been drained: her savings, her children's college funds, her late grandmother's inheritance, all gone. It's about cancer, divorce, rebuilding on a shoestring, and somehow, someway, finding that God's economy doesn't follow our math. But it's also a story about a tiny house in Richardson with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit that her kids now call the best time of their childhood. About a business born from a love of color that turned into a ministry of beauty and connection. And about a love story so good, so full, so mutual that she calls it "the greatest love affair of all time." Heartbreak does not get the final word. This episode is proof. In This Episode You'll Discover: * Why divorce can feel like a death no one prepares you for, and what grief in the aftermath really looks like * How Carey discovered her then-husband had been living a secret life of addiction, gambling, and financial betrayal for over a decade * What it's like to open a bank account expecting to find your grandmother's life savings, and find $7 * How her faith (and her mom's singing voice) kept her from completely falling apart * The unexpected gift of downsizing: how a small house became the place where her family healed * How God's economy covered three college tuitions on paper that should not have worked * Why Carey launched Your Color Plan, a color analysis business that's less about fashion and more about helping women see themselves * The difference between someone saying "I love your top" vs. "Your skin looks radiant" (and why it matters more than you think) * Six months on Match.com, one blind date in a parking lot, and the man her friends called "The Nordic": the love story you didn't see coming * What shared depth, loss, and empathy look like in a second marriage, and how it's different from settling * Why shared faith is a non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have, in relationships * The advice she'd give her younger self and every young woman dating today about not settling and not completing someone * The one thing she'd whisper to herself at her lowest point: "You are being cradled in God's arms. Just rest." About Carey Clancy Carey Clancy is a personal color analyst and the founder of Your Color Plan, based in Dallas, Texas. After a 15-year corporate career at The Container Store, Carey completed advanced color analysis training (including a master certification with the late creator of the method) and now works one-on-one with women (and occasionally men!) to help them discover the colors that bring out their natural radiance. Her studio sessions run 90 minutes and are as much about real conversation as they are about color swatches. She also hosts fun color parties with wine, cheese, and a whole lot of glow-up included.
