Soul Talk with Dr. Tammy Smith Unknown

Join Tammy and long-time friend and colleague Dr. Tim Stauffer as they tackle an area that in some way is relevant to us all. From our sex-saturated society to the messages (or not) we received from our parents, peers, and churches, the issues of sex and sexuality are complicated for us all, to say the least. But God who crafted our very souls also made this aspect of us, so talking openly about His design and desires here is a must for maturity and wholeness in Him.

The Illusion of Control with Susan McCrabb // Why, even when we know life is wrought with unknowns, risks, and freak accidents, do we still grapple so hard to think we are in control? In this awe-inspiring podcast episode, Tammy talks with Susan McCrabb about her journey. Life went from a “formula” that was working to one of drastic change and challenge. Susan’s authenticity in the midst of living how life can change in an instant is heart-wrenching and inspirational. Susan has written a recently-released book on her story, and Tammy is excited to get to introduce more of the world to this powerhouse of a Christ-follower who has something to impart to us all in her very down-to-earth processing of great difficulty.

You never know if you can live through the dark night of the soul until you actually do. Tammy’s guest, Sarah Cobb, shares her experience of walking through her daughter’s battle with cancer, and the ways in which her faith was challenged, how it carried her and also has been changed as a result. While on mission to tell Katie’s story, Sarah is very real about her own – that wrestling with God is okay, even necessary; that even when you think things can’t get worse, they can; that strength will be there only in the moment you need it; that God sometimes prepares you for things deep inside ahead of time; and that ultimately God will remind you at some point He was there before the lights went out. Whether you are going through your own unimaginable or simply need some wisdom for the hard parts of your journey, this beautiful recounting of the real ways in which God met Sarah in her dark night of the soul will provide you some encouragement to keep going in yours.

How does one go through abandonment, betrayal and loss and come out the other side closer to Christ? Tammy‘s longtime friend and soul work hero, pastor Chris Old, joins her to share his story and passion for pursuing a healthy soul no matter what life deals you. This discussion has something for everyone. Listen intently, and you will undoubtedly receive something that moves you forward in your own journey with Jesus.
 

In this episode, Tammy speaks with her good friend and counselor colleague, Joel Wharton, about his decade-long journey through cancer. Joel expands on how cancer has shaped his perspective, provided wisdom in dark places, and ultimately allows him to live in the tension between God’s faithfulness in the eternal and the here and now. This conversation is a stunning invitation into a deeper walk with the One who loves us most, even if the path weaves through suffering. Join us.
