Today on the show I’m chatting with Amy Zschech-Hood and we talk all about parenting children with additional needs. We talked a lot about being a mum of a child with special needs, how that affects the whole family and how there is a massive wider community of similar parents all around, who are broken, exhausted and need Jesus...and maybe some practical love and care! She challenges us to be 'do-ers' not just offerers of help.  Amy talks about Champions Club, a church program that provides reprieve for care giving parents and celebrates the individuals that the world calls different.

Today I’m chatting with one of my oldest friends, Rachael Willey. We have known each other since our young adult single days. We have travelled Europe together, served in Church together and had more laughs than I can count. We’ve also walked through some really hard times. Rachael shares on this episode, her journey through Infant Loss and the life of her son who was stillborn 10 years ago. I’m so thankful for her friendship but also thankful for the way she shares her story with us so vulnerably today. One line from our conversation “Grieve and keep moving” really resonated with me.

My guest for today is Laryssa Schleusener. She and her husband James pastor the Collective Church, and operate a mid-week cafe & barber in Brisbane called The House. They have a full life and we talk all about following her God dream.

We talk about plant-based diets, miscarriage, and feeding the rich and poor at the one table. It was such a fun conversation and I hope you’re encouraged to go and do the dream God has put inside you. To ..read more

I thi ..read more
