Pastor Michael Culp joins me today on the podcast, and it's a really special one. When I tell you the enemy fought HARD to try and stop us recording this, I'm not exaggerating one bit! I have met Michael before and chatted here and there, but this was the first real conversation we've had...and it's such a good one. He is so genuine and kind, and has a heart for the Lord, His Word, and His people. I pray that the Lord uses this conversation to bless you, encourage you, and remind you of His faithfulness. He tells a story of what happened when his little boy got sick and needed a miracle, and it's so powerful. Be reminded that the Lord still works miracles, and He is so faithful. May your faith be stirred, your hope be renewed, and may you believe even more in His great Name!

Today kicks off a little mini "series" with my partners. Three local business partner with me in different ways, and I wanted to take some time to chat with the owner of each one to hear their story behind the business. First up, we have Trent Fannin from Rōst Coffee. I honestly thought I knew most of this story, but I quickly found out I was so wrong. Hear Trent's story of how he went from hating coffee to being passionate about brewing the best of the best, and how the Lord moved he and his family to Chillicothe, Ohio, to invest in our community. His heart is amazing and his story is so encouraging. I hope you love it and are inspired to dream big!

We talk about all the things, but my favorites for sure were getting to hear his heart for our community, and also his story about his miracle son.

The holidays are so full of joy and cheer...most of the time. But when grief hits, you're left feeling the ache of missing the ones you love, and it can be so, so hard. On today's episode, I sit down with my dear, dear friend, Jeannette VanBuskirk, and hear her heart about this. She shares her story and offers some hope and encouragement to the rest of us. If you are someone who is hurting this holiday season, you will be blessed. If you are someone who is wanting to help and love someone who is hurting well, you will be blessed. This one is so special, and I hope and pray that whatever situation you find yourself in, you will be encouraged by her words.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ccwa/support

Pastor Ryan Bash, from Brookside, is on the podcast today! I cannot express how much I LOVED this conversation! We talked about a little of everything, and it was so much fun. I promise you'll be encouraged by him, and will feel like you've had coffee with a good friend by the end. This was the first real conversation I've had with him, and that's exactly how I felt! Grab a cup of coffee (or hot chocolate if you're like him) and enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ccwa/support

I've always felt like singleness was one of those taboo subjects. Most people don't talk about it, but I think it's something that needs to be talked about...especially in this holiday season. And, I think I have one of the best people to talk about it with us today! My dear, dear friend, Lauren, shares her heart about her years of singleness...the ways the Lord was present and faithful during them, and how she was able to lean in so close to Him throughout them. She shares some profound wisdom in this episode, and I think it will be helpful to those who are in a season of singleness and waiting, as well as those of us who are not. I hope and pray it opens our eyes and helps us to be more intentional with the single friends and family we have...during this time and always.
