Hannah Brencher

My guest is Hannah Brencher. Hannah’s a writer, a TED talk speaker, and online educator with a heart for building leaders. She has a brand new book called FIGHTING FORWARD that just released & she and I have a great conversation about her story and the message of FIGHTING FORWARD in this episode.

At the darkest point of a severe season of depression, Hannah took a silver marker and labeled a composition book “Fight Song.” She filled that little notebook up with hope-filled truths and affirmations, knowing that one day, she–and you–would need a reminder to stay in the fight. Now, she’s on a mission, and partnering with God daily, to be a light in the growing conversation about mental illness, and to remind people all across the world to show up, claim hope, and take back your life one small win at a time.

Between the recent election, COVID-19, and many people working from home this year, more Christians are turning to their screens to cope with their stress than ever before. Though Jesus invites us, “Come to Me,” more often than not people run to Facebook, Instagram, online games, podcasts, and YouTube videos to get through the day. While we want to want God most, the reality is that we turn to our phones more. Imagine what would happen if we lifted our eyes from our screens and lifted our empty hands in surrender. What joy and freedom might be found? Wendy and I talk about all this and more in today’s episode. Prepare to be challenged and inspired.

With so many questions about God, how can we REALLY know him better? One way is by learning more about His names! Meiissa Spoelstra joins Gwen to talk about why knowing the names of God can make a big difference when it comes to things of faith.
