  • Suffering, Unanswered Prayer, and Hope in Christ with Vaneetha Risner

    Suffering, Unanswered Prayer, and Hope in Christ with Vaneetha Risner
    Sep 23 2025
    Rebecca welcomes Vaneetha Risner for a candid conversation about suffering, unanswered prayer, and the presence of Christ in our deepest pain. Vaneetha recounts her story (childhood polio, the death of her infant son, an unwanted divorce), how John 9 reframed her “why,” and why Christian hope rests in the character of God—not in guaranteed outcomes. They also explore lament, community, and practical ways to walk with those who hurt.

  • Do You Have A Calling? with Karen Swallow Prior

    Do You Have A Calling? with Karen Swallow Prior
    Sep 16 2025
    Rebecca sits down with Karen Swallow Prior to explore vocation that comes from outside us, the goodness of “ordinary” faithfulness, and why pursuing the true, the good, and the beautiful gives shape to our work in every season. They reflect on biblical portraits of calling (Paul, Moses, Jonah), the role of community in discernment, and how serving others—not chasing status—aligns our lives with Jesus.
