Sonya Brunner
Everybody's got CRUD. It's HOW we deal with it, that makes ALL the difference. I’ll be answering your questions and some weeks I’ll have special guests with me sharing their insights on how they deal with THEIR crud. We’ll laugh, maybe cry and encourage one another as we get real about our CRUD.
"HOW...I do...it!" w/Dee Harrison - Crud Talk E129
DJ...cue the music, drop the beat & everybody sing it...'THIS IS HOW WE DO IT...' :)  Helping people deal with their crud is one of the hardest things I've ever done...and it absolutely makes my heart explode when I see people dealing with their crud and their lives being changed. We hear all the time, "You just do YOU!" but what does that mean? I'll tell you how I DO it.  The struggles, the pitfalls and the victories! I'm keeping it real, y'all. **Hee hee...don't I always?  Join me with my special guest HOSTESS...Dee Harrison, as we dive into what it looks like to do what God has called us to do, day after day.

"WILD Tales from VBS!" - Reaching outside the church walls and pointing people to Jesus! - Crud Talk E128
Vacation Bible School is one of the most powerful tools a church has to reach their community. Crazy songs, silly games, crafts, and learning about Jesus. My team did an amazing job pouring into kids and families. Our goal was to love God and love people. Listen to what one father experienced as a result of VBS. He realized that he had some crud that he never dealt with. He saw something that he'd never seen before. He wanted that! He wanted to change.  It's amazing what happens when we deal with our crud and know that we are completely loved.  We're talking about what it means to be SAVED. Then what? We're talking about what it means to follow Christ and doing life with your church family.  Join us as we deal with some crud.

"Control = Trust" Crud Talk E124
Control. That little word that most of us can't live without. So, what happens when we lose it? What do we do then? When life is hard and what used to be bright has grown dim, sometimes going back to the beginning reminds us of things forgotten. And maybe what we've been holding on to so tightly, might be the very thing that needs to be stripped away.

It's how we deal with it, that makes all the difference.
