Transcribe →Ep. 22: Faith>Fear Highlights - Suffering
Dec 9, 202100:18:34Tap to summarizeWe have shared a story of suffering over the last year and a half that has challenged us, troubled us, and changed us. Yet, we each have our own stories of tragedy and heartache, several of which were told by our Faith>Fear guests. As we revisit some of those stories, we hope that these stories reach beyond the pain to teach us more about who we are and who God is as well.

Nov 24, 202100:20:17Tap to summarizeLife sometimes puts barriers in our way, and we often build them even higher.

Transcribe →Ep. 20: Faith>Fear Highlights - Missions
Nov 11, 202100:12:28Tap to summarizeSince the start of the pandemic, it’s often been said that “we’re all in the same boat.” As Faith>Fear talked to missions pastors and workers during 2020, it became clear that the same could be said of our calling to lead people to Christ. There are different tools to use and strategies to follow, but everyone has a role in bringing Christ to those around us. And no virus gives us an excuse not to play our part. Hear more thoughts from the missions community in this week’s highlights episode. Join us once a month to hear new interviews from everyday individuals and check out our 2020 highlights as well.

Transcribe →Ep. 17: Honor Where You Are - Rachel Grindle
Sep 23, 202100:21:05Tap to summarizeThe pandemic has taught Rachel Grindle about flexibility in marriage and parenting, gratefulness, and handling lots of little losses. Rachel has two main hopes as she looks toward the future. “I know what it felt like when I spent extended time with family recently, how good it felt to be with them. I hope we don’t lose that. My other hope is that the church at large would reengage lament and learn how to do that well.” Join us once a month to hear new interviews from everyday individuals and check out our 2020 highlights as well.

Transcribe →Ep. 16: Faith>Fear Highlights - DMM
Sep 9, 202100:28:12Tap to summarizeMany of us go about our lives hoping to serve those around us, filling needs, and doing our best to embody Christ. As we influence others and lead them to Jesus, we are adding to his kingdom. This is a beautiful thing. Some in the church, however, have become sold out to the pursuit of multiplication in the form of disciple-making movements (DMM). While these efforts seem to produce stories of challenge and sacrifice, they also bring about obedience and growth. Listen to a few of these stories told by some of our Faith>Fear guests in 2020.

Transcribe →Ep. 14: Faith>Fear Highlights - Media
Aug 12, 202100:13:42Tap to summarizeIn a world where mobile phone subscriptions outnumber people and Facebook users outpace the population of any one nation, it’s clear that ministry and media must meld. We believe this at GNPI and were excited to hear what God accomplished through media in the historic year of 2020 through our guests on Faith>Fear. Despite the great worry and frustration that media can cause, it proves itself as equally useful for the building of the kingdom.

Transcribe →Ep. 13: The Words of Rebecca Talley - Tim and Rebecca Talley
Jul 22, 202100:33:43Tap to summarize“With my ALS diagnosis, I was stripped of almost everything I thought was me,” shares Rebecca Talley, using a computer to speak for her. She reflects on these “false identities'' with a new understanding that she holds a deeper identity than her ministry or active hobbies. Even though the loss of speech is extremely difficult, she is still able to communicate the words that God gives her in this new life situation. Sometimes these words are insights from her own reflection. Other times words come to her, such as a comment exclaimed by a friend who found out Rebecca’s diagnosis at church: “Holy shit!” They are not words that Rebecca would have chosen herself, but they are ones in which she now sees great meaning. “There was nothing more appropriate than what Gayle said that day,” says her husband Tim. “God has, is, and will turn this situation, which is terrible, is crappy, whatever word, use her word, whatever. But he makes it holy.” Tim and Rebecca call this experience the sacred journey, a path that is not easy but has its own rewards and lessons when you are willing to receive them. Rebecca summed it up in a few words from her own mouth: “It’s worth it.”
