On a scale from 1 to 10, how much peace do you have in your life and career right now? (10 = total peace, 1 = minimal, if any) I'm asking because I look at the conversations and headlines around social media these days and I'm seeing a LACK of peace. Even in the conversations I'm having with people around me…pressure seems to be mounting… At home… In the career… With finances… And all the news around the economy and the continued political division with the upcoming election isn't helping. So how do you find peace when all you feel is pressure? I lean in to that question on today's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. I sit down with Michele Cushatt - 3-time head and neck cancer survivor, 4-time author, and one of the best communicators and leaders I know. If there's anyone who knows a thing or two about navigating seasons where peace isn't present, it's Michele. But here's what else Michele knows - how to stay relentless when the fire around you keeps getting worse. Michele and I get real about the challenges of life that we all face. If you want more peace in your life and career, then lock in to today's episode. In this episode, you'll hear: The role of laughter and humor in overcoming public speaking mishaps and finding common ground for growth. Strategies for transforming uncertainty into momentum and the importance of authentic connections. The intersection of faith, suffering, and resilience, and practices for building faith during tough times. Embracing vulnerability as a means to foster genuine relationships and personal growth. The significance of internal groundedness and having an anchor for enduring peace amidst life's challenges. The impact of showing up flawed and courageous, and how authenticity can lead to greater confidence and authority. Key Quotes “Pain at any level is a very loud voice that captures our focus and attention and ends up sabotaging our perspective.” “We must believe that our struggle won't be wasted.” “During a challenge, you have two choices: Be defined or derailed by it, or be developed by it.” “People don't connect with perfect performances. They connect with real people.” “Pride is a terrible companion.” “You have to own your own growth. It's no one else's fault or responsibility that you are where you are.” “The secret to peace is finding eyes to see.” “A boat anchored to itself is not anchored at all.” “Peace comes from an internal sense of groundedness, not an external ability to control.” “The moment you think you've arrived is actually the moment you're lost.” Resources from this Episode Twitter: https://twitter.com/MicheleCushatt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelecushatt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MicheleCushatt LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelecushatt/ Website: http://www.michelecushatt.com/ A Faith That Will Not Fail: 10 Practices to Build Up Your Faith When Your World Is Falling Apart: https://amzn.to/42DjpvK Connect with J.R.

Although there are moments of beauty and goodness, more often than not, life is marked by fear, struggle, disappointment, and loss. And we don't know what to do with it. We try to find hope and security in various people and places–but each proves unworthy of our trust. We need more. Something–or Someone–who won't fail us when our world falls apart. Michelle Cushatt presents a better way. In her book, A Faith That Will Not Fail, this author and Bible teacher explores powerful personal, historical, and biblical stories of people of extraordinary faith. She curates and shares practices to help you deepen your confidence and certainty in the God who can be trusted with your worry, questions, confusion, and grief. Connect with a woman who has been through immeasurable suffering and hear her compassion and practical insight. For more information on Michelle's book, go to: michelecushatt.com/faith/

Do you have a formula Christianity? The approach that, if I do a and I do b, then God has to do c? The problem with formula Christianity is that it doesn't work. Life tends to mess with it and God isn't bound by it. But worst of all, it tends to push us away from God rather than draw us near. In this episode of The Living Room with Joanna Weaver, Michele Cushatt shares how the dismantling of her religious formulas helped her find God in a deeper way as she shares from her new book, A Faith That Will Not Fail: 10 Practices to Build Up Your Faith When Your World Is Falling Apart. "God didn't cause my cancer," Michele says, "but He certainly didn't waste it!" And He's not going to waste the painful things in your life, my friend. Though Satan intends it for evil, God is going to work it all together for good.

Today's conversation is with Michele Cushatt, whom I met online years ago during the release of her third book, Relentless. I love our conversation so much because she talks about how she has and continues to walk through the dichotomy of gratitude and grief. She is a three time cancer survivor and has had to live with daily chronic pain ever since. She asked a question I believe many of us have had to walk through, "How do I reconcile a God who seemed indifferent to my suffering when I gave Him everything I had?" I know many of us have dealt with this at one point or another. I pray that this episode will minister to each one of you where you are today and also to share with others who need to hear this.

Did you hear my first episode with Michele Cushatt? It was back in 2020, and we talked about her book, *Relentless. The subtitle is The Unshakable Presence of a God Who Never Leaves. It is such a powerful episode and in it, she shares about her pain and suffering that she has walked through. She started to doubt, question, and wonder if the presence of pain meant the absence of God. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you are wondering where God is in the middle of your hard time. You have doubts and questions. Some of the questions Michele had: God, when are you going to intervene? God, why haven't you put a stop to this pain and suffering? Maybe you have those same questions. There is so much truth in this episode and Michele's books have depth to them. I know you are going to learn so much for her. Note: Michele came back for a 2nd time on the podcast to talk about her latest book, *A Faith That Will Not Fail. You definitely want to check out Depth Podcast Episode 171.

We are often afraid to ask questions that have the potential to destabilize our faith. We worry the answers will reveal that God is not real or that God is not good. One of those questions is, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” In today's episode, Shelby chats with Michele, who has walked through three decades of suffering and trauma about this exact question. Michele helps us understand that the presence of sin and suffering doesn't diminish the goodness of God. And she helps us understand that God has provided the greatest good in Jesus. Even when evil presses in from all sides, the gospel gives us real, lasting, eternal hope. Michele also speaks to the person who is feeling weak in their faith and needs the encouragement to keep going in the midst of suffering and pain. If you struggle to make sense of God's goodness in a broken world or you feel like your faith is faltering and you're in need of a reminder of God's goodness towards you—this episode is for you. I pray that it helps you to see the goodness of God in Christ and the glorious hope offered in salvation.

Do you ever struggle with what to do when your world is falling apart? When life seems to flip upside down, do you wish you had a friend that would come alongside you and say this is what helped me in the middle of my suffering and my hard times? This is what I love about this new book, *A Faith That Will Not Fail by Michele Cushatt. She was on the podcast back in 2020 for her book, Relentless. If you have not heard her story, she has walked through cancer multiple times and what I love is that she wrote this book from a place of “I understand.” The subtitle of the book is 10 Practices to Build up Your Faith When Your World Is Falling Apart. It is very practical, and she gives great ideas you can start that will help you during those tough seasons. In fact, I think these are great practices to start even when you are not in a tough season, so when those hard times come, you are already prepared.

Are you one of those people who finds it hard to ask others for help? Though we might find ourselves facing things alone or maybe we just want to tough it out and not burden anyone else with our problems, we should remember when we ask for help—including help from God—we honor those in whom we place our trust—giving them a chance to joyfully give of themselves to support us in whatever we're facing. Our guests this week each had moments in their life where they had to face that they couldn't rely only on their own strength, they needed help to overcome the problems in front of them. Nazareth is a Christian comedian who actively looks to bring laughter to places all over the world that need it most.

So I said, ‘This is what I want to do.'” - Nazareth “I sat there [in church] and I don't know what the message was about, but I heard that God loves me. I can come as I am. I don't have to fix myself. And that He has a plan for my life.” - Nazareth “The Holy Spirit gave me the go-ahead to become an evangelist, to bring people to Christ through comedy, to encourage believers.” - Nazareth “I started going to places where it's going to be a tough audience. Prison would be a tough audience. How about IRS agents? How about homeless shelters? I want to go where laughter is needed.” - Nazareth “The doctors told me clearly, ‘We threw everything but the kitchen sink at you in the hopes of maybe saving your life.' But in the process, I almost died.“ - Michele Cushatt “Honestly I didn't know a human being could endure that much physical suffering and still survive.” - Michele Cushatt “What do you do with your faith in a God who doesn't always behave the way that you expect Him to?” - Michele Cushatt “He takes the things that look like our biggest devastation and somehow, by some miracle of grace, He goes, ‘I know you think this is going to destroy you. I'm actually going to use it to save you.'” - Michele Cushatt “I cannot deny how many sweet moments and sweet conversations and sweet experiences and relationships have come not in spite of my suffering, but as a direct result of it.” - Michele Cushatt “Lament is as much a part of worship as praise is.” - Michele Cushatt “Even if you have nothing to give, God still has everything to give you. He didn't come and save you because you were so strong and faithful. He came and saved you because He loves you, and that's enough.“ - Michele Cushatt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

More information about Michele can be found at https://michelecushatt.com Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast. Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open. Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer. Need to chat one on one?

In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

In Michele Cushatt's first book, her memoir Undone, she talks about her journey with all the unexpected events of her life: divorce, blended families, cancer, and more. But the story didn't end where her first book did! She's lived a lot more life, has now lived with the constant threat of cancer hanging over her shoulder for 12 years, and has survived two more battles with recurring cancer. Michele joins us today on the podcast, even missing 2/3 of her tongue from operations and dealing with the pain of swallowing and speaking as she still deals with the effects of the radiation she received from her chest up to her mouth, to pour encouragement and truth into us. We talk about some Bible passages and how they show us truth about who God is amidst our suffering, how Michele finds more comfort in a God who is mysterious than a God she could fully understand in her suffering, and what it looks like to walk in trust and faith instead of using worry as a means of control.
