Trade a Lie for a Truth

God Had Nothing to Do With That vs. God’s Sovereignty, with Amber Smith

Have you ever heard, “God had nothing to do with that?”
Something so bad, so tragic, so horrific happened that it was almost spoken as a reassurance or thought to make you feel better. Like “how could a good God have allowed something so bad?”
But is it true? And does it actually make you feel better?
Join me as I interview Amber Smith, host of the Arise podcast and wife to Granger Smith. She retells the story of her 3-year-old son drowning, how she met Jesus during this time, and how God has turned their life upside down for the good.
In the end, we’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: Quite the opposite of God having nothing to do with it... God is in this with you. He is intimately involved in the details of your life, and His sovereignty is actually the reassurance needed to pull you through.

If I do _____, Then I’ll Be a Success: Your Identity Crisis with Mariela Rosario, She Speaks Fire

Have you ever bought into the lie that if you do ______, then you’ll be a success… a good mom, a good wife, impressive to others, and finally, loved and accepted?
If so, you’re gonna want to join me as I interview Mariela Rosario, Author and Founder of She Speaks Fire, as she retells a fresh look into the Genesis Garden, those figurative fig leaves we tend to pick up today, and her own story of drug addiction and freedom found in Jesus’ name. Trust me when I say you’re gonna want to close your eyes and bask in this firehose of encouragement and truth.
In the end, as we together pick up the Sword of the Spirit to demolish this lie, we’ll be able to trade it for the truth: Our identity is secure in Christ, and we are already redeemed, loved, accepted, and complete.

Good People Go to Heaven: Only One is Good with my husband, Ty Anderson

Ever heard, "All good people go to heaven"?
 
Whether it’s Islam, Judaism, or secular humanism, the common belief of culture today is that getting into heaven is just a matter of following the Ten Commandments or the precepts of the Quran or the Golden Rule... ultimately, just "being a good person."
 
But is this true? Let’s find out today. My husband grew up learning about religion, but when he heard about a relationship? Everything changed. 
 
Join us in this new episode as Ty retells a key conversation with his mom, how that split up his family each Sunday, the word he heard from God, and the truth he lives to tell today.
 
In the end, let's trade the lie that "good people go to heaven" for the truth that "only One is good, and if you believe in Him as your Lord and Savior, you can be confident you're going to heaven."

When Things are Hard, God is Punishing Me: No Condemnation in Christ, with Amy Seiffert

Have you ever wondered, “When things are hard… God must be punishing me”? When you experience something painful—a trial within your marriage, your home, your finances, or your health—it can be easy to buy into this lie that God is punishing us because of something we said or did.
But there is some good news found in Jesus.🙌
Join Amy Seiffert and I as we talk about the heart of the Father, the difference between punishing vs. correcting, and God’s motivation behind allowing trial to come into our lives.
In the end, you’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: Even when things are hard, there’s more going on because I know God isn’t punishing me—since Christ is the complete Sacrifice and there’s now no condemnation for those found in Him.

God’s timing isn’t (always) best: Our Plans vs. His, with Tara Sun at Truth Talks with Tara

We’ve heard God’s timing is always perfect, but have you ever doubted it?
When plans go south, bad news comes, and the trajectory keeps getting worse, it’s at this point we start to entertain this lie, don’t we? Because we know how to turn the story around! We have it all mapped out in our mind + in our prayers, and we know what would usher in the redemption and give us that happy ending we’re craving… if only God would do it.
Join Tara Sun (from Truth Talks with Tara) and I as we share our stories and tackle this lie in order to trade it for the truth: His timing is better, redemptive, good, and always perfect.

Children Are a Burden: 3️⃣ Things the Bible Says About Kids with Ariel Tyson, @arielctyson

Ever feel like your children are a burden?
Maybe you've never thought it, but others certainly have when they're giving you the look at the grocery store, annoyed you brought them on the plane, and making it seem like you all need to walk on egg shells when visiting a family member's house.
Join Ariel Tyson and I as we look to God's Word to hear what He has to say on the subject, and as we look at one psalm in particular, we'll uncover the absolute truth that, no matter how other people view our kids, God says they are 3️⃣ things in particular that should shape our perspective.
In the end, let's trade this lie for the truth: Children are indeed a blessing.

Everyone is More Put Together Than Me: Comparison Trap with Crystal Paine, The Money Saving Mom

To fight the lies found in every comparison trap, we need to uncover 2️⃣ truths: who we are in God and the reality of every person we're comparing ourselves to.
Join Crystal and I as we root out our identity in Christ, uncover how to (practically) find worth in God alone, and recognize and embrace our unique gifts and talents to live in the fulfillment that can only come from our God-given purpose.
In the end, let's trade this lie for the truth: I am a sinner saved by grace, who falls short, yes... yet even still, now in Christ, I am complete.

No Filter Needed: The Power of Words (for good + bad) with Sarah Molitor, Modern Farmhouse Family

In the age of "speak your truth," it's become widely accepted to process and spew out any words you'd like.
But how does God use His Words? And as His image-bearers, how should we?
Join Sarah Molitor and I as we talk about previously being critical and negative towards our spouse, and how God not only convicted a heart change but redeemed that situation as well. Not only will you walk away knowing your own communication style, but you'll also gain practical tips and uplifting encouragement when anger, impatience, stress, and the like tempt to get the best of you. Of course, always concluding with a lightening round of funny questions.
