Sabbaticals and Anti-trafficking w/ Abigail Eernisse

This week on the podcast, I’m sitting down with my friend Tracy Campbell, and let me tell you- this episode is flowinggggg with truth! Tracy’s love for Jesus and the way he prioritizes time in the secret place is remarkable. His commitment to discipleship is something we can all learn from. With decades of experience in acting, producing, and screenwriting, Tracy has such a unique perspective on bringing faith into the entertainment industry. His heart for Jesus shines through everything he does, and I walked away from this conversation feeling deeply encouraged in my own walk. I know this episode will bless you as much as it blessed me. I feel thankful to have a friend like Tracy Campbell!

This week's podcast episode is with my BESTTTT friend, Anjel Murphy. Together, we've weathered so many seasons, and recently, she's walked through some deeply challenging disappointments and in this conversation we open up about it all. Anjel’s joy is absolutely contagious, and hearing her share about her journey-including the incredible gift of becoming a mom through adoption-will leave you deeply inspired and a sense of feeling seen. I truly have no words to describe how much I love and admire this friend of mine!

This week’s guest on the Let Me Ask You This Podcast is with my beloved friend, Brittany Ross. Truth be told, we filmed this episode over a year and a half ago and I just KNOW God is releasing this in a timely moment. Brittany is the author of Dangerous Hope and is a woman who wears many hats. In this episode we do unpack pregnancy loss so please let this be your trigger warning in case that is something that may be hard for you to listen to right now. We unravel hope and the journey Brittany took to discover the source of it. I know you’ll walk away from this episode feeling related too and that you’re inheriting a new friend. <3 

In this episode we have the one and only Jamie Finn! I thought about running a few victory laps while filming this episode because JAMIE. IS. A. PREACHER. She speaks Kingdom truth with such conviction and humility and I KNOW as you listen to this you’re going to feel empowered and fueled with courage to step out and be obedience in the hard things! Jamie is the founder and author of her blog and organization, Foster The Family and she just released her first devotional titled Filled which is designed to encourage foster families with God’s word in their journey's. I am so inspired by this woman! 

This week we have the delightful Christian Bevere on the podcast and it was such a gift to spend a few hours together and chatting through life. Christian wrote the book “Breaking Up With what Broke You” addressing how God redeems and rewrites stories. Christian just welcomed her second baby, is a wife, an author, and has the most creative eye to make things breathtakingly beautiful! I know you’ll love this episode as much as I did! 

This week's guest on the pod is one of my dearest and most loyal friend, Sammy Verner. Sammy carries a remarkable gift to see and serve people where they are at in a way I have never seen. She's never the loudest girl in the room but she's always the most compassionate. There is a steadiness and consistency to who Sammy is and how she shares the gospel that will mark you. She's a wife, a mom to a two year old angel boy, she's as competitive as they come, and spends her day to day as a physicians assistant. I know after you hear the authenticity from Sammy's heart you'll walk away encouraged and challenged to walk in confidence of how God has designed YOU.

Season 2 episode 18 on the Let Me Ask You This podcast is with my girl Brenna Blain. Brenna wrote a recently released and AMAZING book called 'Can I Say That?' and when I say I engulfed this book up in one sitting, I really did! I listened to the entire thing on a plane ride home and was in tears. The vulnerability of her story and the way she invites Jesus into the hard questions is such a breath of fresh air! In this episode we unravel the concept of suffering, community, mental health, same sex attraction, and the journey of inviting Jesus to reign in your life. I value this friends voice and walked away from this conversation so refreshed and inspired and I know you will too! I wanted this episode to be more of a dialogue about real life instead of unraveling Brenna's story and so if you're here and want to hear more about Brenna's story here is a great podcast she recently recorded with Jackie Hill + Tyler Perry that you should listen too. Her story is raw, real, and has the fingerprints of Jesus all over it. Here is also a link to her book, like I said, I can't recommend it enough!

Season 2 episode 18 with the eloquent and poetic, Hannah Weidmann. When I tell you I was excited about this episode, I mean I was EXCITED. Hannah has one of those voices that you just want to lean in and listen intently too. Hannah is a mother, wife to a world renowned artist, a pioneer, a beautiful writer, and business owner. Together with her husband they started Everyday Heirloom Co, a brand dedicated to adorning women as God’s beloved using timeless methods of craft & storytelling. In this episode we unravel the journey as an artist of using this one life and devoting it to using the gifts deposited inside you. I know you are going to be so encouraged after you listen to Hannah’s life and the fruit that is growing because of her heart to abide. Be sure to check out Hannah's beautiful pieces of art and consider adding something to your holiday wish list as a timeless piece!

Season 2 Episode 17 is with the one and only Abigail Eernisse founder of Abolitionist Collective. Abigail is a freedom fighter and had devoted her life to serving women in the commercial sex industry. She is a Kingdom-come kind of woman that will leave you so inspired to walk in purpose and rest. I have admired this friend of mine for years and every time we get the chance to catch up I just leave shaking my head in amazement at how deep of a well she has carved out with the Lord. In this episode we unpack the importance of a sabbatical, keeping your heart fixed on first love, and what it’s like working in the anti human trafficking industry. You can get involved with Abigail’s ministry by shooting her a message on Instagram. 

Welcome back to this week’s episode of the Let Me Ask You This Podcast!!! This week we have my inspiring and incredible friend, Jessica Satterfield with us and when I tell you that you’re not ready for this episode, YOU ARE NOT READY. This woman has walked through valley’s many of us will never begin to imagine and she stands on the other side of tragedy with her hands raised and her heart bowed low. Through the loss of one of her sons, ten years of infertility, miscarriage, church hurt, and more, Jess unravels the truth’s she’s discovered through them all. Please know this episode has many trigger warnings related to death and pregnancy loss and so if that’s something that is fresh in your story, maybe save it for another time. I’m so grateful for people who walk the narrow way in season’s of sorrow. I know the truth bomb’s Jess shares in this episode will leave your heart aching for a deeper and closer walk with Jesus.
