Happy Holy Week! The team at Storytellers Live is praying blessings over you this week as you celebrate our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. And, wow, do we have the perfect story to get your mind focused on the good news of Sunday?   Oftentimes, when life is not going as planned and our prayers aren't being answered the way we want them to be, we are left questioning God and His ways. But, as today's storyteller reminds us, our God is purposeful in the pain and the messy middle is where His best work takes place.     Anna Thompson, from our Memphis, Tennessee community group, shares her story of walking through the confusion, heartbreak, and anger she experienced when she desperately wanted a second child and her life's picture was not developing as planned.  Anna's words are going to inspire you to rest in knowing that even in the midst of unanswered prayers God is weaving together a beautiful tapestry of His love, goodness, and grace.    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:   * God is faithful even if the answer to your prayer is no.  * The Lord and His love will sustain you no matter the circumstances. (Romans 8:38-39) * Only in Heaven will you see the top side of the tapestry that God is weaving here on earth.   “My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.”  Psalm 63:8 Links:   Anna's book- The One and Only You   The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Anna and our past storytellers    Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content~ including a “Continue the Conversation” of Anna's story and Easter traditions with Robyn, Katie, and Lindy.    We want to hear from you!

This week I speak with Sherrie Pilkington who enters into various aspects of life as a daughter of the One True God.  She dearly loves her 2 grown sons and 2 daughters-in-love but it's her 6 grandchildren that keep her young at heart and the sound of joy in her laugh. Known for pondering the hard things in life through the lens of God's heart, she shares her revelations through her podcast, Finding God in Our Pain. Sherrie and her guests do not shy away from the hard questions about the reality of pain and suffering and the good God we profess. After unexpectedly losing her husband in early 2018, whom she had been with for a little over 33 years, she now knows that God speaks beautiful things in the dark. Through her website (alifeofthrive.com) and her podcast she wants to let people know that they're never alone in their pain because God enters into the darkest of valleys and will gently shepherd each one through. Links:Website: https://ALifeofthrive.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/ALifeOfThriveIG: LiveLovedThrivePodcast - Finding God in Our Pain: https://findinggodinourpain.podbean.com/*Theme Music “Blessed Time” by Ketsa

Many feel God's presence while spending time outdoors, and Father Dave welcomes Father John Nepil to discuss his faith connection to hiking the Colorado Trail. Father John is an avid hiker and mountaineer, and he has celebrated Mass atop all 54 of Colorado's highest peaks. His new book is called “To Heights and Unto Depths: Letters from the Colorado Trail.”

Sin followed by subsequent shame and guilt can send us into some of the darkest places of loneliness, isolation, and weariness… places where the Lord never intended for us to be. After all, Jesus came to bring abundant life (John 10:10) and rest for our souls (Matthew 11:28-29).   Dawson Cooper, who spoke at our live gathering in Mountain Brook, Alabama, beautifully reminds us of these truths as she recounts her journey of walking through an unplanned pregnancy and subsequent marriage to becoming a parent and letting go of childhood dreams.  In her story, Dawson sweetly shares the gospel message of redemption, as she encourages us to look to Jesus alone to fulfill our needs and see the moments of life where His Holy Spirit has shown up - reminding us His fingerprints are all over our stories.    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:   - Admitting your weaknesses to others can be powerful in the hands of God.  - God never intended for you to carry shame and guilt - He longs for you to bring those heavy burdens to Him.  - Your past doesn't define you - you are righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.   Links:   Listen to similar stories:  Ep. 82- Addie Lamberth: “The Unexpected Gift of Life”;  Ep. 219- Chapple Chandler: "A Life Renovated"   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Dawson and our past storytellers.    Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content.   Need a summer Bible study?!

Western Christianity often approaches artificial intelligence with anxiety rooted in dualistic thinking that separates the spiritual from the material, human from machine. Non-dualistic elements within Christian traditions, particularly Ignatian spirituality, offer a more integrated vision that can help us engage with AI as a potential extension of divine creativity rather than a threat to human uniqueness.

Send us a textGod doesn't take people to heaven or assign lifespans. Death is natural. Christian hope lies in reunion, memory, and the soul's journey into God's embrace. Death is not God's punishment but part of being human. Our souls, carried by memory and love, continue. Christian faith reminds us: goodbyes are never final.

Send us a textWe often blame God for human choices. Miracles happen when we act with love, justice, and compassion. We are called to be God's hands in the world. God invites us to participate in miracles—not to wait for magic. Each act of justice, care, and responsibility for creation is a living miracle in our world.

Send us a textGod's will is about being loving, hopeful, and faithful—not a rigid blueprint. We co-create our vocation with God in freedom, not fear or compulsion. Discerning God's will means living the fruits of the Spirit in daily life. God invites us into a relationship that values love over rigid direction or fear-driven obedience.

Our God is a miracle-working Father... Just ask today's storyteller!   Jamie Pope, from our community group in Trussville, Alabama, shares the terrifying yet faith-filled journey she and her family walked through when her son, Grayson, was critically injured in an accident when a tree fell on his golf cart.  After suffering a traumatic brain injury, thousands of brain bleeds, orbital fractures, and cranial surgery, the world would tell her to lose hope in her son's recovery. But God.    This story will remind you to never give up, to keep petitioning through your prayers, and to always focus your eyes on Jesus—your only source of true hope.    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: - In times of trials, cling to your mustard seeds of faith!  - Look for miracles - they are all around you each and every day.  - God may not always answer your prayers the way you want, but He promises to always be with you and never forsake you!   Listen to “Goodness of God” by CeCe Winans   Listen to a similar story:  Jala & Jessica Jenkins- Ep. 289: "God's Not Finished- A Traumatic Brain Injury Story; Juleigh Green- Ep. 150: “Pray Big, Believe Big”   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Jamie and our past storytellers.    Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content~ including a “Story Within the Story” with Robyn, Jamie, and Grayson!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series, including the newly released Discovering God in Stories of Faith!   Register for the local workshop being offered on April 9th in Birmingham (TODAY is the last day to register!): Finding God in the Details: A Guide to Discerning His Voice and Discovering Your Story

Send us a textNatural disasters are not God's punishment. Prayer should transform us and the world, not manipulate a divine force. We don't worship Zeus—we worship Jesus Christ. We often misunderstand prayer and project our fears onto God. True Christian prayer invites us to change ourselves and reflect God's love and justice in a broken world.

Send us a textSuffering may feel meaningless, but grace can transform it. God doesn't will pain, but responds with life, hope, and purpose—just as Easter followed Good Friday. Tragedy often breaks us open to grace. God's love doesn't prevent suffering but offers us the strength to find meaning, healing, and even joy in its aftermath.

Send us a textFather Richard LeonardGod does not cause suffering. Rather, Jesus reveals a loving God who brings healing and light, not punishment. Suffering is not God's divine retribution. Believing in a compassionate God challenges harmful theology. In suffering, we are invited to reject images of a vengeful deity and trust in Christ's healing, non-violent presence.

Sherman Brand joins Michael Easley for a compelling conversation about faith, the Holy Spirit, and the transformative power of God in the Christian life. Sherm shares his journey of overcoming apathy, learning to trust God's provision, and finding purpose in suffering. Together, they explore the necessity of dependence on God, the depth of His love as a Father, and the vital role of community in spiritual growth. Their discussion touches on the ongoing struggle with sin and shame, the call to live out faith through action, and the daily challenge of trusting God. They also highlight the importance of confession and forgiveness, contrasting the dangers of legalism with the freedom found in God's grace. Ultimately, their conversation points to the believer's identity in Christ and the power of authentic community in fostering healing and lasting transformation. Takeaways: The Lord loves to do the dishes with you. We underestimate the beauty of Christ living in us by His Holy Spirit. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. We should not go by feelings in our spiritual journey. The cares of this world can choke the word and hinder growth. God wants to take care of us and provide for our needs. Suffering is often included in our growth process. He wants to live His life through us, guiding our actions. The term 'co-worker' in Romans highlights the importance of collaboration in faith. Finding God's work and participating is essential for spiritual growth. Trusting God is foundational for navigating life's challenges. Confession is a vital part of the Christian life, leading to forgiveness. Legalism can be more harmful than outright sinfulness. Shame is a tool of the enemy, not of God. Our identity as children of God is paramount and should be valued. Community is crucial for healing and accountability in faith. We often underestimate the power of God's grace in our lives. Living in constant awareness of our sin helps us rely on God's strength.   Resources mentioned: Serve As a Verb Podcast  Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Martha Tatarnic talks with Kyle Norman about his latest book, Alive, Loved, and Free, which explores what it means to hold on to faith in the face of spiritual discouragement, suffering, and doubt. Drawing from his own experience as a priest and caregiver during his wife's cancer treatment, Kyle shares how this painful journey reshaped his understanding of ministry, prayer, and God's presence. Together, they discuss Kyle's journey in ministry and his role as Dean in the Anglican Church of Canada, the power of the Daily Office and morning prayer, and the spiritual pitfalls many Christians face—feelings of unworthiness, struggling to pray, and wrestling with belief. The conversation explores the silence of God in suffering and the presence that often meets us instead, how church leaders can model honest vulnerability, and why doubt is not a disqualifier for faith. Kyle offers practical insights on forgiveness, feeling God's love, and navigating big spiritual questions, while also sharing his hopes for the future of vibrant, small, and grace-filled Christian communities. Reverend Kyle Norman is a priest, author, and speaker.  Kyle holds Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, a Masters in Divinity, and a Doctorate in Spiritual Formation. He currently live in Kamloops British Columbia with his wife and son. Currently, Kyle is the Rector of St. Paul's Cathedral and Dean of the Territory of the People. Kyle is also the Author of “Alive, Loved, & Free: Finding Jesus when Faith is Hard” which tackles the tricky issue of feeling discouraged in our faith.   Relevant Links Website: www.revkylenorman.ca Facebook: facebook.com/ReverendKyleNorman Instagram @reverend.kyle.norman   Presenting Sponsor: Phillips Seminary Join conversations that expose you to new ideas, deepen your commitment and give insights to how we can minister in a changing world.  Supporting Sponsors: Restore Clergy If you are clergy in need of tailored, professional support to help you manage the demands of ministry, Restore Clergy is for you!

Let's look as good as our prayer life , often our outside is taken care of but our connection to God takes a step back ,,let's reprogram and get back to prayer

Finding God's will isn't always as complicated as we sometimes make it sound. We often over-complicate the process. When really, God has often made it very clear. The first part of Acts 17 presents two very clearly defined kinds of people. The question we must take from this passage in application is which group represents me. So, take your Bibles and turn again to Acts 17, this is a message Dr. Biles has entitled, "Are you one of These or one of Those?"

When life shatters in unimaginable ways, how do we hold on to hope and grace? How do we move forward when we are the ones who made the mistake? In this profoundly moving episode, Catherine explores a story that speaks to the heart of every parent and believer. Jennifer Eikenhorst—a devoted mother, teacher, and woman of faith—shares the day that changed her life forever. A simple left turn resulted in a tragic accident, taking the life of an innocent man. As she faced the crushing weight of grief, guilt, and endless "whys," Jen discovered a truth that is essential for all of us: God will meet us in our deepest shame, but we must choose Him. Mistakes are inevitable. Some are small, and others change lives forever. No one escapes the reality of human error. But in these moments, we face a choice: to live in condemnation or receive the grace that God freely gives. Through raw honesty, Jen shares her journey of surrender—how she learned to accept God's mercy, extend grace to herself, and become a vessel of healing for others. As the host of the Accidental Hope podcast and an advisor in the Hyacinth Fellowship, Jen now ministers those affected by accidental injury and death find restoration and faith.
