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.

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.

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.

When it comes to hearing from God, The question isn’t whether God speaks. The question is what does He have to say to you? Many people have a tough time believing God still speaks. Sure, in ancient times and in mysterious ways, God spoke to His people, but is He still speaking now? You bet He is! That’s what Mark Batterson and I talk about in this conversation, and I’m confident you’re gonna love it.
