Keewani Cook
Born into abject poverty in the Philippines, Keewani Cook’s childhood was difficult and heartbreaking. Her family moved frequently due to their inability to pay rent, and there was rarely enough food to go around. They lost family members to treatable medical conditions, all because they could not afford healthcare when it was needed. Life was hard, and she couldn’t imagine a way out of the hopelessness.
When she was 7 years old, Keewani was invited to participate in Compassion’s child development program at a local church. Through the love, support, encouragement and care she received from her sponsors and program staff, her life began to change drastically. Hope grew in her heart as she experienced God’s great love and learned that He had a plan for her life and future. Listen in as she shares her inspirational and challenging story.

Episode 108 – Sophie Hudson
Is there really a way to stay strong when life gets hard? If you’re anything like most of us, your initial reaction to the hard stuff – those pieces and parts of life that keep you up at night – is to try to figure out how to make it go away. You might wonder if it’s possible to just ignore it, or, better yet, to burn it all down.

Episode 104 – Dr. Derwin Gray
What is true happiness, and how can we find it? Everyone wants to be happy. We spend our money, time, and energy chasing after “the good life,” and we run ourselves into physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion on the way. But what if the happiness we’re all striving for isn’t the happiness we were created for? Dr. Derwin Gray joins me on the GRACEOLOGIE Podcast to talk about the actual good life Jesus invites you to.

It can get frustrating – even overwhelming – when endless voices tell you what to do, what to think, and what kind of parent or friend or spouse to be.

We talk about this and more with NYT best selling author, Melanie Shankle. Give it a listen!
