Chad Dedmon - Catch the Wave. The joy of Intercession. In the winter of 2016 Chad received a dream from the Lord, where He was paddle boarding and praying at Big Sur. It was in this dream, that the Lord audibly told him to come out of the cave and tell people that he is an intercessor. Chad and his team dropped everything to say yes to this call to paddle board the coast of CA and intercede. And it’s now expanding to the nations. Catch the Wave just so happens to be coming to Denver. I love how they describe their community as a group of trail blazers who say yes to seeing dreams realized! (Remember my life verse? Eph 3:20 GIVES us permission to dream God size dreams!) Chad and his wife Julia have been married over 15 years, have 2 beautiful children. Ordained through Iris Global, Heidi and Rolland Baker’s ministry and Bethel Church, Chad and Julie have enjoyed ministering together in over 35 nations since 2006. Catch the Wave focuses on equipping the church on encountering Jesus through worship, prayer, and evangelism. Their School of intercession drives in the value that “Everything centers on intimacy with Jesus!” Today’s time with Chad is FULL of incredible stories, heart-wrenching challenges and incredible breakthrough moments. The time today I just believe is authored by Jesus so I pray you will embrace what could be a life-changing word for you today. I’m beyond stoked to connect with Chad on this week’s podcast, so if you’re ready for it why don’t you pull up a chair, grab that cup of coffee and dive in with us to the places between…..

There’s something cool about the way our stories unfold when we offer what we have openly to be used however God sees fit. Whether it's a gift or a calling, perhaps it’s a talent or a treasure. It’s like God has such a unique way of calling us into what he knows we’ve been designed to do and then taking us along the journey and process to get there we never knew we needed. Dustin Tavella is a world-class performer. He is the winner of the hit competition show America's Got Talent. Dustin was crowned champion for his magic performances alongside his ability to inspire audiences through storytelling. The platform gave him the ability to show the world how personal connection is something we, as humans, long for. Dustin does not just share ideologies, but he shares experience. For 20 years, Dustin has devoted himself to serving the world around him. He has worked with youth, those struggling with drug addiction, and also with the homeless. Dustin's angle on how to make an impact is incredibly unique and his approach to finding magic in everything that life throws our way is both simple and transformational. I’m so thrilled to have had the opportunity to connect with Dustin, hear more of his story and perspective on how he and his wife do life beyond the stage. The way they seek to love people, love God and show up for what he’s inviting them into is beautiful and I just believe you will also be encouraged today! Looking back on your own journey, you’ll be encouraged that God is entirely faithful and like Dustin, he will use even the unexpected ways ultimately for your good.

When you know you’re called to more it can be challenging to be in the places between especially when you have that “life plan” mapped out. I’ve been talking a lot with friends and family recently about the tension of living with EXPECTANCY of God to move and having hope filled expectations, but not living with specific expectations of what the answers look like. There’s such a balance between the two and I’m curious if you have walked through that thought process in life before too? How do we live with great anticipation of hope and all God can do? A number of things but the first thing I believe is surrendering OUR Plan to His(God’s). On today’s show is a new friend who brings wisdom from a journey he THOUGHT he had mapped out and planned only to see it go differently. He has powerful examples of real world examples of how he himself is living for Jesus but also what he does to encourage himself in the process of the unknowns, the limiting beliefs that can often sabotage our futures, and some good words that perhaps YOU need to take home and remember today. Encouraging people there is no such thing as a coincidence but God’s evidence he is always at work, I’m excited for you to hear what John has to share today. John Laub is a faith-based motivational speaker known for delivering powerful and inspiring messages to his audiences. I pray his words of hope and resilience deeply resonate with you today.

So, If I were honest with most of my life, there's a certain sort of comfortability I live in. But Im still human and occasionally have doubts that try to haunt me and questions and emotions daily still bubble up.... You don’t have to be totally freaked out though…. Remember who you are and whose you are and continue to tell yourself the truth: You are valuable. You are worthy. You have a calling, and you were made for more. He has a plan and is gloriously at work behind the scenes. TRUST HIM. He is good. He is FOR you. He died for you that you might live! Let him be your strength and guide. He wants the best for you, he is FOR you and not against you and has a plan and a purpose! His dreams for you are far beyond what you could ask hope or imagine.... He's given you permission to dream and wants you to thrive! You are Brave! You can get through this, and you are stronger than you think When the uneasyness comes, or the voice in the mirror tells you you're not enough or reasons why you need to be fearful, tell that liar to get behind you.

Wrestling with agonizing grief, and searching to unlock God‘s purposes in suffering is something Corey and his wife, Dana know all too well. As it was said in the forward of his book called Inheritance “when you’re the Lord’s inheritance, everything in life is bathed in divine purpose” If you’re a person of faith, there's no doubt in my mind God has used his word to strengthen your faith. In deeply painful seasons some of you know how much strength one can draw from scriptures when there just doesn’t seem to be words to understand what you’ve been through. Corey and his wife, along with 3 daughters, are still processing the trauma caused by the death of their son! BUT living out the promises of God they’re creating a legacy through Nash’s life too. One of the most beautiful things brought through the suffering this family has walked through is the willingness for Corey to share his story! It’s served to help people in dark nights limping through life’s trials and tribulations looking to God like they need air. Today Corey is using his gift of teaching God’s word, encouraging others in their faith journeys and more. In fact God is raising up an army of intercessors for such a time as this. These prayer warriors are called Nasharites: men and women, young and old, gripped with the spirit of prayer to see revival touch their families, their churches and their cities. I can’t wait for you to hear more of Corey’s story and just honored to share it with you today. https://coreyrussellonline.com/p/nasharites ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Enjoyed what you heard?!  We love getting 5 star reviews and subscribes when you can!

Part of The Places Between is talking about thriving and learning to thrive while we’re waiting /or transitioning from one season of life to the next! As humans we know what it’s like to wait and for many of us something we really don’t like at all, if we were honest. Waiting is hard. Waiting in the midst of suffering is really hard. Almost unbearable. But there is something beautiful about drawing close to God, or letting him draw near to you in the midst of what seems like a never ending journey of waiting. In the midst of a season that is filled with trials and answers that we’re not sure will ever come, there is an intimacy we can experience with Jesus if we press in and let him draw near. This is Brittany’s story. Its a story of longsuffering and faith in the midst of waiting on a number of things… Her insights and wisdom and authentic voice into some of life’s most challenging moments will encourage your heart today. In the midst of suffering faith and HOPE is pivotal . . . I hope Brittany’s words are just what you need to hear today. Brittany Park has served as a pastor at Remembrance Community Church in the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County since 2012. She is also is an adjunct professor of Biblical Studies at Eternity Bible College. She and her husband Ben live in Lomita, CA with their daughter, Naia.

So MUCH of our culture revolves around dating and relationships, but a crazy amount of people are also SINGLE today, this seems like such a GREAT place in time to talk about THRIVING in singleness… And as this is a podcast about the places between and transitions from one season of life to another, I sadly see SO MANY people get stuck in thinking about yesterday as well as thinking about tomorrow. Today Im excited to dive in again with Ryan Wekenman. He’s a teaching pastor of Red Rocks Austin, a young, vibrant church he helped start with a few of his best friends. He’s also a storyteller who is passionate about finding creative ways to help people explore life’s biggest questions. He’s the co-host of two podcasts, Stories in Scripture, a show that brings the Bible to life for people all around the world, and Afterthoughts, a weekly conversation about faith, culture, and the church AND I’m so thrilled to host him again on the Places Between Podcast. Today we dive into a number of things from relationships, to naming your emotions, even the deadly combo of yesterday and tomorrow. “Yesterday pins us to the floor while tomorrow beats us up” A quote directly from Ryan’s book, Single Today. Ultimately, this is a book about today. It’s about surrendering your future and learning to see this present moment as the gift that it is. For the single person the reminder that the full, abundant life you’re searching for is available while you’re single! (And even the ones in relationships, I know you’re listening… this book can have a profound impact on you too) So as Ryan’ says it: “It’s time to conquer yesterday’s regrets and ditch tomorrow’s worries” lets dive into the conversation around this NEW BOOK: Single Today.

Once we find out where our limiting beliefs are rooted and start to do the work to heal and really become healthy versions of ourselves a whole new level of living in freedom is possible. On Today’s show I talk with someone who’s not only done the work to find freedom through a journey of healing himself, but he’s helping men (& in turn women they love too) on their own journeys towards freedom. Hunting and running through the woods is a drastically different scene than selling drugs and rubbing shoulders with drug dealers in the inner city. This is the story of Adam French, a story of humble and healthy beginnings, a story of harsh and horrific interruption and a story wrapped in the life changing love of Christ. His Dad’s journey of successful business owner to violent alcoholic coincides with his mother’s struggle of a successful teacher to pill addict. Somewhere in the middle of their stories is a scared little boy, curious pre-teen, broken teenager and a wounded man. For the past 17yrs Adam has been on a journey of healing. What if you had healing over addiction, anxiety, trauma or anger in your life? Imagine living in peace without struggles plaguing your life. Adam draws from his counseling degree, bible college education, decades of personal recovery and pastoral experience to create an onramp in his book, MANdentity, for men seeking help in their marriages, addictions, traumas, broken relationships and everyday struggles. MANdentity is designed for any man with any struggle to find healing. It’s purposely written to be simple and direct, so that every man can heal by working through this book. All men have wounds. The MANdentity book intends to heal them. Today, Adam travels the country sharing the redemptive story of Grace that Jesus brought to his life through his personal journey to MANdentity. He is a motivational speaker who encourages others to live out their faith. You will be challenged, motivated and encouraged by his teaching.

This week we have a fun episode for you!!!! Most of you have been listening for quite some time to The Places Between and a HUGE Thank you to those of you who have tuned in weekly for the last 3 years! When I started this podcast I knew I wanted to not only provide stories of faith and encouragement along the way for those in the middle of some of the hardest parts of life but I knew it would be other’s stories that gave testimony and encouraged so many of you that you too could get through the seasons of life YOU felt like you were in the Places Between. We ALL can relate to “hope deferred that makes the heart sick!” But we’ve gotten glimpses of just how GOOD and FAITHFUL our Father is in each and every story on the podcast and it’s through these glimpses of longings being fulfilled, and testimonies of faith of making it through that very hard season, that I’ve hoped YOUR faith AND resolve to keep showing up WOULD BE energized! As we jump into season 4, I am SO THRILLED to introduce a number of POWER. FULL. stories and guests to you! EACH ONE of them have significant stories worth gleaning wisdom from, for your own walk with Jesus! I ALSO have a SPECIAL episode to kick off the season with and I couldn’t be more excited to introduce my soon to be husband, Joshua Miller! He has not only been an incredible champion for this show (& me, to which Im incredibly grateful for) but he TOO has a story to tell! The story of how we met alone is totally a GOD THING and will hopefully be an encouragement to anyone listening that God really does pay attention to EVERY prayer, every tear, how you’re wired, your heart’s longings and desires. And with ANYThing we’re waiting on, in any breakthrough or answer you’re waiting on God specializes weaving together the most beautiful story, right on time! With the Places Between we’re excited to see how God invites us into his plans, and hope to still offer retreats and more but more on that to come… right now we’re just excited to focus on transitioning from one season of life to the next WELL and thriving in the process.

This week I wanted to share some clips and highlights of guests in Season 3! As guests shared their stories and testimonies of God’s work and sovereign hand in their lives, we got to hear countless stories of the miraculous, things that only God could have done in moments of desperation, waiting, trials and more. With EACH Guest and story we were encouraged that God is entirely faithful, and despite the wildness so many of us have walked through, we really can have hope that he sees us, he knows exactly what we need, he works ALL things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose and he really does LOVE AND WANT The best for us. I continue to be reminded God FAITHFULLY WORKS behind the scenes, truth ALWAYS prevails, he IS the GOD of rescue and redemption AND despite the timing we think he needs to show up in, he is RIGHT ON TIME!!! And he will continue to work behind the scenes to show up and show off! If anything over the last year I too have been encouraged that God is entirely possible of the impossible and NO THING is too hard for him! From financial provision AND projects being funded to dreams of going overseas and becoming a missionary on purpose for Him! We heard stories of second chances, God walking through valleys with us, restoration and redemption from things in the past, stories of triumph and miraculous provision attached to opportunities to play for the NFL, or be on America’s Got Talent (and WIN) even take home the Grand Championship of American Ninja Warrior. From Filmmakers to authors to medical professionals living their lives for Jesus. . . One thing is certain: When we commit our lives to him, he radically walks beside us!
