I don't have any major accomplishments as I have read about the guests on your show. But I have no doubt that my life is always in the making of a great story." Lisa shares about God restoring her life after enduring decades of spousal abuse.

What a great way to start a new year! “It's great to be back to kick off a brand new season of coffee talk topics; and welcome an extended audience as we join Cornerstone Christian Radio, broadcasting the foundations of faith around the world, from Blackpool England! Now that brings much happiness to our new season! In addition to the powerful messages our featured guests will share on today's show, it brings me much happiness to recount the history of Christian Coffee Talk for our new listeners, and share all of Psalm 119 to recharge and realign our steps in 2019 with His decrees.” Featured Guest No 1: Alli Worthington Alli Worthington is an author, speaker, business coach and entrepreneur.

At first, I thought it was silly because I thought God doesn't allow us to be happy. But He kept putting it on my heart, so I spent a year of my life studying what scripture tells us about happiness. Many of us grow up in a church culture that says to know joy is to be Holy in the Lord, but happiness is fleeting. Through my research in scripture, I found that there's no distinction between joy and happiness.” Featured Guest No 2: Kay Wyma Kay Wills Wyma is a former White House staffer, an international banker, an entrepreneur, and a mom of five!

Coffee Talk Topic: Making Lasting Connections with Your Kids This episode's coffee talk topic encourages parents to make lasting connections with their kids by being a Read Aloud family! Deuteronomy 6:5-10 (NIV) tells parents to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Featured Guest: Sarah Mackenzie Sarah Mackenzie is an author, speaker and podcast host. On the immensely popular Read-Aloud Revival podcast, Sarah helps parents all over the world make meaningful, lasting connections with their kids through books. Sara lives in the Northwest with her husband Andrew, and homeschools their six kids. Mackenzie says "I started writing the book thinking it was sort of a Manifesto on reading aloud. As soon as I started writing it I realize that that's not really what it was about. It was more of a call to connecting with our kids. While I knew that the sharing of stories with our kids is valuable, I realized the most valuable thing was connecting with our kids. I think for so many of us Christian parents, our desire is to really make a deep, heart-to-heart, lasting connections with our children. Stories are a simple and profound way to get there." Host Brandee Nielsen says, "I love how Sarah's book inspires families to get out from behind their smartphones and tablets to read together, which helps make lasting connections. I've heard it said that one of the greatest professions our youth should aspire to early is becoming a chiropractor. All the kids today walk around with their heads down staring into their phones."

Sara lives in the Northwest with her husband Andrew, and homeschools their six kids. Mackenzie says "I started writing the book thinking it was sort of a Manifesto on reading aloud. As soon as I started writing it I realize that that's not really what it was about. It was more of a call to connecting with our kids. While I knew that the sharing of stories with our kids is valuable, I realized the most valuable thing was connecting with our kids. I think for so many of us Christian parents, our desire is to really make a deep, heart-to-heart, lasting connections with our children. Stories are a simple and profound way to get there." Host Brandee Nielsen says, "I love how Sarah's book inspires families to get out from behind their smartphones and tablets to read together, which helps make lasting connections. I've heard it said that one of the greatest professions our youth should aspire to early is becoming a chiropractor. All the kids today walk around with their heads down staring into their phones."

Coffee Talk Topic: There Is Hope This episode's coffee talk topic encourages us that no matter our situation or circumstance, there is hope! The Old Testament teaches us that hope is trust. In the New Testament, Paul says that Jesus Christ is our hope, just as the Prophet Jeremiah proclaimed that God is the hope of Israel. Featured Guest: Tina Levene Tina Levene is an author, speaker, a humorous motivator, and professional staff development trainer. Levene works with businesses, ministries, and educational institutions to create a safe, positive and high-performance culture by igniting passion and developing leadership skills. Long affiliated with the Florida Juvenile Justice System, Tina's famous and favorite quote is There Is Hope, which she impresses upon the troubled youth to realize their true worth and potential. Tina says "yes I'm an author, keynote speaker, yadda-yadda, but first and foremost I'm a faithful follower of Jesus. I'm a big fan of Jesus. I'm a Jesus freak! I jump on any opportunity to spread hope and instill hope in other people. Working in the Juvenile Justice system, I've had a lot of exposure to people struggling with hurts habits and hang-ups. It's hard to say there's hope to a young girl who may be a victim of human trafficking who's in jail, but there is. There is hope. One of the things I remember her saying to me is "Miss Tina when you come in here I know there's hope because I see you and I see you smiling. I always tell everyone There is Hope." Tina founded her Tina Talks Truth platform to encourage women and men who struggle with addiction and other life challenges, based on her healing journey from addiction. She says "the biggest contributor to addiction is a void inside of people that struggle with addictions. It may be low self-esteem or a broken down family component. There's no spiritual backbone or guardrail in that person's life. Something is missing. That's what it was for me. Something was always missing. So First I had to establish that there is a God. Then I had to establish that He loves me. He loves me no matter what. There are no conditions to how much God loves you."

Coffee Talk Topic: Joy in Conflict Host Brandee Nielsen asked Joe Battaglia, "is it even possible to experience joy in conflict?" This episode explores the possibility that it may be the very conflict between two people that brings them together. “The more we become ideologues on any side of any aisle, the more we're going to become separated from people. Jesus never wanted to be separated from people. How do you share the gospel with someone you never want to talk to, who you think is evil, and that you want to die?” ~Joe Battaglia Featured Guest: Joe Battaglia Joe Battaglia is a thought leader, author, and speaker who's a true pioneer and veteran in Christian Media. He's the founder and president of Renaissance Communications, a media company with a mission to provide media platforms for gifted communicators of Biblical truth. Renaissance Communications has been involved in the promotion of hit movies such as Fireproof, War Room, Risen, Courageous, God's Not Dead, I Can Only Imagine and many more. Joe is an Executive Producer and General Manager of the nationally syndicated, # 1 ranked, faith-based radio program, “Keep the Faith.” Joe joins Christian Coffee Talk today to share about his latest book, Unfriended, Finding True Community in a Disconnected Culture. "People have looked so inward for so long, and have become so detached from people who are unlike them that the natural result is fear. Unless we go out of our way to be with people that are not like us, they will not go out of their way to tell people about us. So if we want people to talk about Jesus, we need to be in their path." ~Joe Battaglia LINKS FROM THE SHOW Connect with Joe at www.joebattaglia.com Subscribe to the Christian Coffee Talk Podcast on iTunes Podcast, Google Play Podcast, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Stitcher.

Coffee Talk Topic: Married Couples in Ministry This episode's coffee talk topic inspires Married Couples in Ministry on a special episode that features two separate interviews, with two amazing married couples for Christ. Featured Guest No. 1: Scott and Bethany Palmer, The Money Couple Scott and Bethany Palmer are Financial Advisors, collectively known as “The Money Couple.” They're one of God's Married Couples in Ministry, with a specific assignment to help others strengthen their relationships through a scientific, behavioral finance approach. Together they've identified that we have at least 2 of 5 money personalities, published in a book called: The 5 Money Personalities. Bethany says "understanding how God made you when it comes to viewing money, is the foundation to who you are and how God Made You." Scott says "if you statistically look at marriages in America we've got a 50% divorce rate. 70% of those cited money as the number one reason for their divorce. If it were just about the budget or credit card debt, those are quick fixes. 80% of couples have opposite money personalities. So what we have to do as couples, is to learn how our differences strengthen each other." Host Brandee Nielsen says "this program is not just for those couples who are having issues with money. The program would also be fantastic for premarital counseling!" Featured Guest No. 2: Jim and Martha Brangenberg, iWork4Him Jim and Martha Brangenberg founded and host the popular, iWork4Him radio program, which encourages listeners to look at their workplace as their mission field. Jim says "we live 95% of our lives outside the four walls of the church. One of the things I get to do is to help Christ followers connect what they hear on Sunday with what they do in their 9 to 5 because their work-place is a mission field. And in the mission field, they may be the only Jesus their co-workers and employees may ever meet." Martha says "our faith is not to be compromised. Our faith infiltrates our whole life if we have given our life to Christ. How our ministry helps people is by inspiring them to look at their work-place differently. We're helping them to look at their life. To look at what they do every day and the way God has equipped them to do what they do. To look at why they're doing it, and what purpose they're giving it."

Coffee Talk Topic: Overcoming Dysfunctional Coping Skills Dysfunctional coping skills involve how we react to life's difficult challenges. We all have them, though they are more severe in some than in others. Host Brandee Nielsen says "Dysfunctional coping skills cause us to react in ways that are disproportionate with reality. These reactions can rob our joy, as well as the joy in those who are closest to us. I maintain that when believers react by bearing the fruit of the spirit during difficult situations, we come away honorable, and retain our joy in the presence of the God of peace." Featured Guest: Cole Ian Cole Ian is the founder of DID Discovering Hope. A nonprofit ministry whose purpose is to share the gospel, and offer hope and help to those who struggle with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and, Dissociative Identity Disorder. Cole shares a powerful testimony about overcoming the dysfunctional coping skills resulting from suffering DID as a survivor of severe childhood sex-abuse. Coles says "God created our brains amazingly so that we can dissociate.  But when we've been through horrific trauma, we might have different levels of dissociation. It becomes a dysfunctional coping skill. I think if I didn't have God in the process of my journey, I don't think I would be here."
