Ep. 695 - A Study on How God Met Various Biblical Men and Women Amid Their Pressures - Trish Donohue

October 16, 2024 • Tina Griffin

How many of us are consumed with the need to be productive every day? And what does productivity really mean? Trish Donohue is the author of You Are Welcomed: Devotions For When Life is a Lot, and she is the women’s ministry director at Covenant Fellowship Church. She says her book was inspired by the commonalities she encounters while ministering to women and going through challenges herself. She talks about how our culture is consumed with the idol of productivity. How can a Christian woman do all she needs to do with true joy in her heart? “We’re not enough, but Christ is!” she shares. In Him, we find completion and rest. Her book is a welcome and refreshing compass back to clarity, calm, and restoration with the Lord.

TAKEAWAYS

Don’t look for a quick fix or a shortcut to find rest - truly find your rest in Christ and take a moment to slow down

Trish’s book is a guide that takes you day-by-day on a journey to usher you into the presence of God

Moms can be overwhelmed when their kids are little - find a support group of other mothers who are going through the same phase of life

Productivity is great, but if that’s where we find our identity, there is no chance of finding true peace

Ep. 694 - Quiet Conversations: What God Wants You to Know About Him - Kim Harvey Brannan

October 15, 2024 • Tina Griffin

The Word of God and the character of God offers a healing balm for the heart and soul of weary Christians. It is this healing relief that inspired Kim Harvey Brannan to author a book leaning into quiet conversations with the Lord that uplift and restore. Kim has created and taught Bible studies for more than 35 years, and her book, Quiet Conversations: What God Wants You To Know About Him, is the perfect read for any Christian in all stages of their faith journey. Kim’s inspiration over the years has come from intense struggles - like the death of her late beloved husband - and her wisdom from years of hardship which she shares with others in this read. “God desires to have a very close relationship with us,” she said. We were made to do life with the Lord, not apart from Him! TAKEAWAYS A relationship with God is restorative and beautiful for the soul and one that is full of JOY Very difficult struggles in life eventually led Kim to have a deeper relationship with God - to step away from chaos and slow down When was the last time YOU slowed down to talk with God and listen to His voice The Bible is filled with examples of how to live in relationship with the Lord 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3rg5kgj Quiet Conversations video: https://bit.ly/47rb1xr Quiet Conversations book: https://amzn.to/4ez0vei 🔗 CONNECT WITH KIM HARVEY BRANNAN Website: https://www.kimharveybrannan.com/http://www.kimharveybrannan.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimharveybrannanauthor/http://www.facebook.com/kimharveybrannanauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimharveybrannan/http://www.instagram.com/kimharveybrannan X: https://x.com/kimhbrannan Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/kimharveybrannan/http://www.pinterest.com/kimharveybrannan 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/pbvaccm 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner

Ep. 693 - Coming Alive to the Wonder, Beauty, and Transforming Power of the Gospel - McKay Caston

October 14, 2024 • Tina Griffin

“Application in a sermon is essentially responding to the grace that we have in Jesus,” says McKay Caston, a pastor and author who encourages Christians to use the gospel as the “true north” compass of their lives. McKay has authored an incredible Bible study, Galatians: Navigating Life in View of the Cross, that he says is appropriate for teenagers and the older generation to study together. He discusses what’s missing in the modern American church, and how we can make church a more loving and welcoming place for everyone. In addition, McKay talks about steering clear of dampening legalism that can steal joy from believers. The gospel is not something to fear - it’s something to be embraced and celebrated! Let’s change our mindsets today! TAKEAWAYS Sharing about Jesus is not a burden if we are coming alive in the beauty and wonder of His grace We don’t turn from sin to Jesus, we turn with our sin to Jesus and He takes that burden on for us All life and nourishment comes from Jesus, the vine Let’s motivate Christians with grace and love rather than fear 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3vc4d2x Galatians book: https://bit.ly/3tgg9av 🔗 CONNECT WITH MCKAY CASTON Substack: https://bit.ly/3zfebhu 🔗 CONNECT WITH CROSS TETHERED PREACHING Website: https://www.crosstetheredpreaching.com/feedhttp://www.crosstetheredpreaching.com/feed 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/tina Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/ccmpatch Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3wzgeiq 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
