What You Missed

Mondays with Diane
The Beauty Behind the Bad Times

Have you ever felt so crushed by hardship that you weren’t sure what God was doing in the midst of it? Sometimes it feels like the hard knocks just keep coming, and right when we think God has finally brought us through, something worse happens. Jordan Johnstone opens up about her hard past year, and shares how God has graciously taught her it’s not so much about learning to thank Him for bringing us out of trials, but for the growing that happens along the way.

Wednesday Interview
Should You Hit ‘Pause’ On Your Career?

We check in with Sonya Crawford Bearson, who is featured in Diane Paddison’s new book, “Women Who Work, Love, Pray!” After a lengthy and successful career in broadcast journalism, Sonya made the decision with her husband to become a stay-at-home mom after the birth of their first child. She offers insight on the transition from the workplace to home, motherhood and developing supportive friendships with other women!
