Awe of God. That's how I experienced this conversation in real time, and in listening back as I was editing, awe of the goodness and greatness of God. I'm 98% sure this is my longest podcast conversation to date, and actually, it could have been longer! I wanted to keep everything. So, forewarning, friends.

Shane Padgett is a husband, father and next gen + family pastor in the Augusta, GA area.

He shares honestly how a difficult journey through cancer, suffering, and recovery has deepened his dependence on the Lord and transformed the way he approaches life, ministry, and the people he loves.

Throughout our conversation, we return to the faithfulness of God... the God who meets us in weakness and is at work even when we cannot see what He is doing.

I hope it encourages and inspires your trust in Jesus like it did mine!

PS - Shane also has a podcast, check it out!

Amanda Blevins is wife to Trent, mom of 4, and friend to many. We talk about the freedom of remembering that God has already gone before us, that His grace is sufficient for what He has actually given us to do, and that we can surrender the things He never asked us to carry. I hope this conversation reminds you that your need is not a problem to overcome. It may be one of the very places where God is inviting you to know Him more deeply!

Jennifer Plemmons wears many hats! She's a wife, mom, paralegal, farmer, and writer who has learned to say yes when God leads... even when she has no idea where that yes will take her. We talk about the strain of carrying too many things at once, learning to recognize when our capacity is full, and the courage it takes to turn down the noise. At the heart of our conversation is the truth that God is the God who sees us and the God who is faithful. I hope it's uplifting to you!

We reference the NLT Bible, Knowing God by J.I. Packer and the Brick.
