In this episode, Steve and I discuss some ways to walk in peace amid the concerns we all have regarding the coronavirus. We also offer some ways we each can focus our prayers and encourage those around us. www.humanswithfaith.com. 'Alexa, play the Humans With Faith podcast.'

'If you just breathe and pray, it will go away.' True or false? Good advice or bad? Pray first is good counsel, but when it comes to anxiety, sometimes 'just pray' can be insufficient. When this friend called anxiety becomes our foe, understanding what's going on inside of us is a great start to gaining control and finding peace. 'So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.' - Jesus (Matthew 6:34 NLT) www.humanswithfaith.com 'Alexa, play the Humans With Faith podcast.'

According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression. If depression is so common, why the stigma? And why is depression sometimes viewed as a failure of faith in some circles, Christian or non-Christian? In this conversation, Steve and I lean into a multi-layered discussion on how to diagnose depression and ways to invite Christ into the process of healing and wholeness if you're depressed. www.humanswithfaith.com 'Alexa, play the Humans With Faith podcast.'

Why is fear an obstacle to sharing our faith? How can a follower of Christ share the message of God's love in a loving and honoring way?  These are just some of the questions we tackle in this episode on the Humans With Faith podcast.  www.humanswithfaith.com. 'Alexa, play the Humans With Faith podcast.'

One doesn't have to look far to see God at work in the world. However, seeing God is entirely different.  In this episode of the Humans With Faith podcast, we converse around the question, 'Is an invisible God audible?' Is hearing the audible voice of God the biblical norm? If so, is there something wrong with us when we don't hear from God daily? If hearing the audible voice of God isn't routine, how does he most often communicate with us?  If, when it comes to hearing God's voice in your life, 'The silence is deafening!' how might he guide and direct you through your life?

'If God is good, why is life sometimes so bad?' In this episode of Humans With Faith, Steve and I have a messy conversation focused on one of life's biggest questions. Why do bad things happen to good people? Or, anyone for that matter? How could a loving God allow so much suffering in our world? Our opinion is that you don't have to be living in sin to be going through hell. And, to grieve is human.  We hope this honest conversation encourages those of you who are in a difficult situation, and we pray that God reveals himself to you in the middle of the pain that we all experience in this crazy thing called life.

In this episode of Humans With Faith, we tackle a very personal question. 'How can I learn to trust a Heavenly Father with everything when I can't trust my earthly father with anything?' Experiencing abandonment by his dad, one of our listeners struggles with fully embracing a relationship with Christ because the thought of abandonment remains. www.humanswithfaith.com

We're kicking off season five of the Humans With Faith podcast. In this episode, my co-host, Steve McNitt, and I discuss what this season is all about. This time around, each episode focuses on one particular topic, as requested by you, the listeners. Check out this short conversation as we unpack what we hope is a helpful and very personal season on Humans With Faith. www.humanswithfaith.com 

Looking back on our childhood, we often see hints pointing to what we end up doing for work later in life. For Scott Richards, today's guest, this is undoubtedly the case. I hope you glean some insights regarding your journey as you listen to Scott, and I discuss our experiences and attempts to do meaningful work. This first episode with Scott traces his path from a trajectory quite different than what he’s doing today. However, I’d expect it was Scott’s past that, in many ways, shaped him for who he is and the work he’s now doing. I hope you enjoy these episodes on Humans With Faith with Scott Richards. www.humanswithfaith.com  

Does what we're doing shape who we're becoming? This is the second episode of a two-part conversation I had with four chaplains; four amazing people sharing how the chaplaincy is shaping their lives. As you listen to their stories, keep in mind your own. What might God do in you on the other side of your saying yes to him?

Season Four of Humans With Faith begins next week. Here's a preview of some of what to expect.

Have you ever had the thought, ‘I wanna write a book someday?’ If you have, you’re probably in the majority. The next two episodes on Humans With Faith take a different turn as my guest, Steve McNitt and I discuss the process of writing. I don’t expect this conversation to change your life, but it may be the very thing that motivates you to write that book you’ve been thinking of or convince you that it’s not for you. Either way, you’ll have a slightly better understanding of the often romanticized, grueling, and most painful journey of writing a book. Steve’s book, titled ’Simple. Enormous. Love’ is available on Amazon or his website at www.stevemcnitt.com. www.humanswithfaith.com  

I was recently interviewed on the, Humans With Faith podcast with Scott Rodgers. Here is part two of that interview. I think this is an important conversation for anyone in ministry for sure but, I also think anyone who is simply interested in art and creativity is going to enjoy this. In this episode, we dive deeper into the place of art in church and culture, building relationship with artists, leading artists, and the unhelpful stereotypes of artists. We talk about good ways forward for a thriving art culture.Support the show (http://patreon.com/johnvoelz)

Is the biblical message of Christmas too good to be true? Is the unimaginable merely unbelievable? In our last episode of season two on Humans With Faith, we discuss how Christmas is not only an act of reconciliation but an invitation from God to embrace a relationship with Him. www.humanswithfaith.com  

It's been said that knowledge is power. If that's true, using that power rightly; at the right time, in the right way, and for the right reasons, requires wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, 'Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.' (NLT) In this episode on Humans With Faith, I have the great pleasure of introducing you to my good friend, Sam Koopmans. Sam is a pastor at Harbor Church in Folsom, CA. I think you'll find a lot of value in this conversation as we discuss some of the background and application of the book of James in the Bible. www.humanswithfaith.com

Brandon is a recent graduate of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, newly married, and is a worship leader at Compass Christian Church in Chandler, AZ.

Marriage. Is yours filled with bliss or battles? Did, 'I do,' turn into a life of wonder or a journey of work? Probably both.

It's ‘Get Up and Get Out There,’ week on Humans With Faith, a marathon of three episodes packed into seven days.   Today’s guest is Karen Roth, a dental hygienist and an Ironman athlete who’s also run more than a dozen marathon’s.    I think you’ll enjoy hearing how Karen’s spiritual and physical life converge in a way that gives her considerable energy and confidence in every area of life.   www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

It's ‘Get Up and Get Out There,’ week on Humans With Faith. We're cramming three episodes into seven days. Three conversations focusing on physical health that I hope will motivate and activate us to get up and get out there.   First up is today’s guest David Field. Recently completing his first Ironman competition, David has some great things to share about what it takes to do something that many of us might think is impossible.   www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

Today’s guest on Humans With Faith is Daren Neely. As a pastor, Daren has encouraged, inspired, and taught a lot of people how to align their lives with the teachings of Christ.    In this discussion, Daren is very honest about his journey with depression, anxiety, and other challenges that are commonplace in many homes, most places of work, and in every school.   Make sure to share this episode with others you know. We need to educate and encourage one another about this issue because it’s been neglected long enough. Let’s become part of the solution.   You can find Daren at darenneely.com and @darenneely.   www.humanswithfaith.com  

Today’s guest is CJ Hatlevig, pastor of District Church in El Dorado Hills, CA. I love CJ's passion for the local church as a place of grace coupled with a conviction that God truly changes lives.   This episode is the 43rd episode on Humans With Faith, and it’s a bit different than the rest. It’s not as much a story in someone’s life, but a story of a group of people who’ve come together to make a difference. If you’re not a person of faith or someone who frequents a local church, I encourage you to listen to CJ. He just may inspire you to consider faith and even believe in the local church.   www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

Philippians 4:6-7 says, 'Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.’ (NLT)   Today’s guest on Humans With Faith is my good friend, Matt Slocum. Matt is the Executive Pastor of Victory Life Church in Battle Creek, MI.    There are times in life when we have to lean into what we believe more than ever. In this discussion, Matt shares the story of a season in his life where he had to do just that, lean into what he believed. Now, we all can learn from his experience.   www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith
