198. Unexpected Grief (with Dawn Mann Sanders)
Sep 100:28:51Tap to summarizeGuest Bio: Dawn Mann Sanders (MDiv, Bethel Seminary) is an associate minister at First Baptist Church of Glenarden (FBCG), where she serves as the director of the sermon-based life groups ministry.

She does this through writing weekly discussion guides for life groups as well as teaching several in-depth Bible studies. Dawn has written and taught extensively on overcoming adversity and creating a new life, both at FBCG and on her personal blog. Show Summary: When was the last time you faced loss? We will all, unfortunately, be touched by grief at some point in our lives, and we learn that it is often an ebb and flow—grief is not linear no matter how much healing you’ve done. After several miscarriages and then the sudden and unexpectant loss of her husband, Dawn Mann Sanders got to know grief well. In her suffering, Dawn experienced intense anger towards God as she wondered, What now, Lord? Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they hear Dawn’s journey of finding herself secure in God’s care after facing so much grief. Notes and Quotes: “God, how do I know that I’m Christian when I am this angry? And He told me, ‘You know I’m going to heal you.’ ” —Dawn Mann Sanders “Its okay to be angry at God and with God. It’s okay. God can handle it—look at Job! God can handle our anger. He can handle our pride.” —Dawn Mann Sanders “I couldn’t pray for myself, but I could pray for other people, and that helped me stay connected to God.” —Dawn Mann Sanders Verses Mentioned in the Episode: Genesis 1:1-8 – God separating light and dark, water and sky James 2:19 Psalm 18:11 The book of Job Related Episodes: GHH Ep 20 – Dealing with Loss with Eryn and Elisa: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/dealing-with-loss/ GHH Ep 96 – Growing Through Grief wit Karen Booker Schelhaas: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/growing-through-grief/ GHH Ep 139 – Moving Through Grief with Chriscynethia Floyd: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/moving-through-grief/ Links: Dawn Mann Sanders Website: https://dawnmannsanders.com/ Dawn’s Book When Your World Ends: https://a.co/d/iOQL72p Unshakable Moxie BOGO Deal: https://go.odb.org/bogo God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191 Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191

She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Criminal Behavior, and is a certified Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP) through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP).

She worked several years as a college professor prior to joining Pure Desire. She is also a speaker and contributing author to Digital Natives: Raising an Online Generation, Unraveled: Managing Love, Sex, and Relationships, Betrayal & Beyond, and Authentically You. Show Summary: When was a moment in your life when you felt betrayed? Heather Kolb was in the thick of parenting young children when she found out her husband was being dishonest with her and battling sexual addictions. Scared and heartbroken, Heather stepped away from the church and managed things on her own until she found Pure Desire Ministries. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they hear from Heather about her story and discover how we can recover from patterns of addiction during this God Hears Her conversation. Notes and Quotes: “My life felt out of control, and yet I had been doing all the things that I had been taught to do in the church. I had been praying and reading my Bible and waiting for God to deliver me from this unbearable situation, and [what I had prayed for] happened, but it didn’t happen the way that I prayed for it to.” —Heather Kolb “There are parts of my story that I wish I had answers to and I don’t have any closure on. But I do know that God held me through—even when making bold decisions that other people disagreed with.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “What are those core messages, the negative core beliefs that you have about yourself?” —Heather Kolb “When discovery or disclosure [of a sexual addiction] happens, you are walking into the middle of a story.” —Heather Kolb "The best way to find healing for yourself—not even for the marriage, because that decision might come later—is to find safety and stability and reclaim your identity in Christ by joining a group of other women who are walking a similar road of healing.” —Heather Kolb “I kept silent, I quietly left the church, I didn’t tell anyone. That piece of it really left a hole in my heart for a lot of years because I couldn’t trust anyone.” —Heather Kolb “[A safe group of women] is going to be the thing that helps you to build safety and stability, not only for your marriage but for you—as a person and as a daughter of Christ—to find who you are in the midst of this messiness.” —Heather Kolb Related Episodes: GHH Ep 145 – Sitting on the Sidelines with Bethany Toney: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/sitting-on-the-sidelines/ GHH Ep 168 – Walking Through Infidelity with Jami Nato: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/walking-through-infidelity/ GHH Ep 196 – Seeking Pure Desires with Ashley Jameson: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/seeking-pure-desires/ Links: Pure Desire Ministries Website: https://puredesire.org/ Pure Desire Ministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/puredesirepdmi/ Pure Desire Ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PureDesirePDMI/ Unshakable Moxie BOGO Deal: https://go.odb.org/bogoGod Loves Her Devotional: https://a.co/d/7F8R0qCGod Hears Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godhearsher/?hl=en God Hears Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GodHearsHer God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191 Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191 Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191 Unshakable Moxie Series: https://read.odb.org/unshakable-moxie/ Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://go.odb.org/odbm191

He is his own messy person with his own messy relationship with God.” —Ashley Jameson “Give yourself space. Know that if both of you are willing to do the work, it will absolutely change. It will be radically different, and it won’t always hurt as much as it does now.” —Ashley Jameson “When God says that He can transform you by the renewing of your mind, that is very real.

195. Created in God's Image (with Ellen Wildman)
Aug 11, 202500:31:34Tap to summarizeGuest Bio: Ellen Wildman holds a BA in Bible and Ministry to Women from Moody Bible Institute and a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary. Through her writing, she seeks to create space for nuance, personality, and joy within theology, believing that Christian academia has room for everyone. Her first book, Single and Not Sorry, was an Amazon bestseller in Dating and Relationships for six weeks. Ellen lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her spicy cat, Rey. Show Summary: When someone compliments you, how do you usually respond? During those moments, it’s easy to brush off the kind words or ignore the encouragement. When it comes to our body and appearance, we often have more negative thoughts than positive. This has led Ellen Wildman on a journey to discover how God views His creation and how that can impact the way we view our own bodies. Join host Eryn Eddy Adkins and Ellen as they talk about what the Bible says when it comes to our earthly bodies. You don’t want to miss this God Hears Her conversation about body image. Notes and Quotes: “The biggest lie is that our body is disconnected from God and disconnected from our faith.” —Ellen Wildman “Every part of me is made in God’s image, including my body.”—Ellen Wildman “Sometimes God is calling me to rest in Him and it’s not by reading Scripture, but my giving me a visual of resting in His arms.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “I will never fully be able to accept my body outside of seeing it as God’s creation.” —Ellen Wildman “The more I thought about being made in God’s image, the more I realized that it really affected every part of my life. It helps me to see my body as beloved and as good because it was made by God, designed by Him, and blessed by Him. It also helps me to give others more grace because I can see them as being made in God’s image.” —Ellen Wildman “Even those who fit into the ‘ideal’ [image] are struggling with the same things.” —Ellen Wildman “It’s not people that have created these [standards]. Maybe we perpetuate the standards a bit, but we haven’t created and maintained them. It’s really diet culture and the industry of always making us feel less-than. To me, that feels really unifying in that we can unify against them instead of against each other.” —Ellen Wildman “The more I have worked on how I see my own body and how I feel at home in my own body has changed the way that I speak to others because I want them to feel this way too.” —Ellen Wildman “The way we see our bodies is important, but it'’s not the most important thing.” —Ellen Wildman “Reflecting God is an essential part of who I am. I am made in His image. His living, breathing handiwork.” —Ellen Wildman “God created everything around me, but He only created humans in His image. We are the only thing that He created in His image. Why did He do that? What does He want me to do with that?” —Ellen Wildman “The idea of being at home in your body helps us believe that we are worthy of self-discovery, and we are worthy of feeling at home in our bodies with God’s help.” —Ellen Wildman Verses: Luke 8:1-2 Mary Magdalene being healed by Jesus Psalm 4:8 Genesis 1:27 Judges 4:4-5 Judges 5:3 Related Episodes: GHH Ep 24 – When We Feel We Aren’t Enough with Laura Smith: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-feel-we-arent-enough/ GHH Ep 44 – The Comparison Trap with Bree Rostic: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-comparison-trap-with-bree-rostic/ GHH Ep 118 – Reimagining Age with Eryn & Elisa: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reimagining-age/ GHH Ep 125 – Your True Worth with Cassandra Speer: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/your-true-worth/ GHH Ep 167 – Aging Gratefully with Heather Creekmore: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/aging-gratefully/ Links: Already Whole Devotional: https://www.amazon.com/Already-Whole-Devotions-Being-Home-ebook/dp/B0F55RMYZN Ellen Wildman’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellen_wildman_so/ Ellen Wildman’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellen.wildman.16 Unshakable Moxie BOGO Deal: https://go.odb.org/bogoGod Loves Her Devotional: https://a.co/d/7F8R0qCGod Hears Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godhearsher/?hl=en God Hears Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GodHearsHer God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191 Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191 Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191 Unshakable Moxie Series: https://read.odb.org/unshakable-moxie/ Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our ...
