In our final episode of Season 4, we talk with my dear friend Jen -- a former Communications Director for a non-profit and active lay-minister who was forced to step off the path of familiarity into a long decade of exile when her family of nine was thrust into crisis due to her son's mental health issues. Jen speaks candidly of nearly losing her faith and all of the anger and unrest that comes from being in exile with God. If you're struggling with your own season of exile, you don't want to miss this episode.
Read MoreToday's episode is extra special because I'm interviewing my handsome husband, Chaplain Clayton Jones, about what he learned in a period of painful exile.
He conceptualized his time in exile as a three-part flow: loss, change and renewal. If you're disoriented from the radical changes in the world and in your own life, you don't want to miss Clayton's wisdom and insight.
Read MoreThe past two episodes have featured stories of radical generosity from our guest Meredith, in which we learned laws of stewardship and gained hope from the understanding that God appreciates the work we undertake with him.
Today's episode is a bonus because Meredith wraps up with some solid gold on what it means to dream with God.

We talk about dreaming with God, entering into the narrative He wants for our lives and opening ourselves up to receive His appreciation when we live with generous hearts.
Read MoreIn part-one of the first-ever Gold Digger interview, we feature the story of one woman's epic adventure with God. Meredith Meyer shares about how she partnered with God to give away a vast inheritance, down to the last dime.
We explore concepts of stewardship Meredith learned along the way and connect her story to the broader one going on in the world today. We uncover the gold of the empowerment Jesus offers us to resist our baser human nature and to get generous when it makes more sense to get greedy; to become self-giving when selfishness is the name of the game.
Read MoreJesus spent a lot of time trying to get us to understand how fear makes absolutely no sense when we live in the reality of God. Elsewhere in scripture, the Lord promises to give us some pretty big payoffs if we're willing to exchange our spirit of fear for the new spirit Jesus was telling us about.
Join Amber today in an exploration of how we can finally access the powerful, fear-free life we've been promised, even in the midst of very dark days.
Read MoreFear is a universal human emotion and, frankly, pretty helpful in many circumstances. So, why does scripture warn us to NOT fear over 300 times? How is it possible to live fearless in a world that, honestly, gives us so many reasons to fear? Perhaps Christ provides the antidote to fear when he tells us we must become like children in order to enter into God's reality. Join us today as we begin our exploration into the golden goodness that can be found even in the midst of chaos.
