Hour 1: Pray Big !

So many of us struggle with prayer. Prayer comes hard to most of us, in most seasons. And when we do pray, we often don't know what to say. What is it that my Father loves to hear about? What are the best things I could pray for my family, my church, and myself? Join us as our guest examines Paul’s prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus and be inspired by the Apostle Paul to pray bigger and better prayers as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!

Hour 2: The Light of His Presence

Do you struggle with prayer? Our guest knows what that is like. She will share her personal struggles with prayer---and the gifts that emerged---to help make your time with the Lord more fruitful. She invites you to move into deeper, more intimate conversation with God through your own worship, praise, thanksgiving, and intercession. Join us to discover the light of His presence.

Hour 1: Your Good Body

So many of us feel as though accepting our bodies means abandoning any effort to improve. We look in the mirror and tell ourselves that we are going to love the skin we are in, but most days our inner self-critic is all we can hear. We constantly ask ourselves

· How can I have a healthy lifestyle that will keep me motivated and inspired?

· Why does it even matter how I think about my body? Can’t I just lose weight and be happy?

· What is it going to take for me to be content with the way I look, even if I’m not thin?

But there is hope! Pursuing the healthiest version of you means learning to love the reflection in the mirror, and our guest understands this all too well. From looking at her today, you wouldn’t know that she used to weigh 336 pounds. During her 16-year health and wellness journey, she has felt the deep anguish of torment from peers and strangers, let the scale dictate her moods, and cried herself to sleep all because of her "imperfect" body. But ultimately, Jennifer realized that to overcome the overwhelming negative feelings about her body, she needed to start with her mind and let go of all the expectations of perfection that were keeping her from being the best version of herself. Join us to learn healthy habits and positive motivation to take care of your good body.

Hour 2: Questioning God

"How can anyone believe in God in this scientific age?"
"Haven't Christians caused more harm than good?"
"I'm a good person. Isn't that good enough?"

For so many people today, Christianity raises questions just like these. And to that, our guest says, "Great!" Join us as he invites those skeptical of Christianity or those doubting the faith they've long held to consider honest answers to many commonly asked questions. "You have questions. Good questions. They deserve well-reasoned answers," our guest says. "I aim simply to put the facts on the table and let you decide for yourself whether there is any credence to the idea of God, the Bible, or Christianity." Discover why Christianity remains relevant today.
