During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology, I have the absolute delight of diving deep into some real-life stuff with two dear friends, Natalie Grant, and her husband, Bernie Herms. Unless you're living off the grid and are listening to BPT through a coconut and dental floss, you've no doubt heard Natalie's stellar voice because she's been a recording artist for over twenty years and has more awards – including multiple female artist of the year awards – than you could fit in the back of a truck. And Bernie's success as a music producer is every bit as extraordinary as Nat's; he's also been honored with a plethora of accolades, including several Grammys. If you feel like you're running low on hope this season because the miracle you've been trusting God for hasn't happened yet, Nat and Bernie's story is going to provide both empathy and encouragement and will help reframe our perspectives regarding God's sovereignty and our expectancy.

"When you realize God meets us in the pit, that's a way that we can really glorify God, not for what he does, but for who he is." — Vaneetha RisnerToday's Episode: So often in our suffering we ask this question, "If God loves me, why did this happen?" On today's episode, Vaneetha Risner (who is no stranger to suffering), encourages us to ask a different question. She reminds us that we are loved by God and therefore should ask, "Because God loves me, why did this happen?" Vaneetha helps us see how God meets us in our suffering, how our suffering is not without purpose, and how we can grow in hope through it all. This month's memory verse: "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." — Hebrews 10:23 Today's guest: Vaneetha Rendall Risner writes and speaks about suffering.

HOSTS: Michelle Ellis SONG: Sunscreen by Vic Davi SHOW NOTES:4:35 | Sing Hallelujah (with Natalie Grant) by Naomi Raine - (6:10) “it's not a ‘has been goodness,' it's a ‘right now goodness.' It isn't just a ‘he has been good,' it's ‘he is good.' He is good. He's right now good.”14:58 | 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 - “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”16:54 | Hebrews 12:1-2 - “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.  We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.”25:53 | Lake Atitlán in Guatemala KEY QUOTES:2:16 | “I learned that my hope was in Christ and not in the situation.”3:53 | “If we have that mental shift of putting your hope in the thing into putting your hope in God then it's so much easier to have that hope, because you're then hoping in something that never changes. You're hoping in something that never fails. You're hoping in something that is always good. You're hoping in something that's always faithful. You're hoping in new mercies every morning. You're hoping in love that's never ending. And so that is what keeps you going. That is what charges you every morning.”4:58 | “He is good and He will remain good.”10:55 | “…despite what I feel, He is still good.”11:09 | “I'm truly thankful for the difficult seasons because they would not have made me the person that I am today. They would not have allowed me to have such a deep rooted faith in Christ if I hadn't gone through those seasons, and if I hadn't surrendered to what God, to the will of God and what He had for my life.”11:40| “…trust that God is good. Even in the hard times, even in the scary times, even when you feel like there's no hope in the world, God is still good and He will always be good.“16:38 | “…no matter what, I still win because there's victory in Jesus. We can walk through every season almost with a sense of peace […] knowing that Christ is the reward at the end of the day.”24:36 | “…find your people even if it's just one person right now that you can fully trust.”25:25 | Becoming a Youth Pastor with Abigail Marsiglio - (Season 1, Episode 11)CONNECT WITH US:Website | Instagram COMMON TERMS: TCK - third culture kid MK - missionary kid LAC - Latin America Caribbean

Earlier this month, the Superior Telegram released its 19th episode of Archive Dive. It is part one of a two-part series where we look back at the life of the legendary Bud Grant. Harry Peter Grant, Jr., was born on May 20, 1927 in Superior and excelled at multiple sports before going on to guide the Minnesota Vikings as their head coach for 18 seasons, including four Super Bowl appearances. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994. On March 11, 2023, Grant passed away at the age of 95. May 21st, the day after what would have been his 96th birthday; numerous friends, fans and family members memorialized him at a public celebration of life at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings will be honoring Grant all season long, including special patches on their jerseys for their opening game. In part one, we're joined by one of Bud's granddaughters, former Northern News Now anchor and reporter Natalie Grant as she shares stories and special memories.  "He was grandpa to me," says Natalie Grant. "Honestly, he was a stoic guy, but he also loved a smile and loved to laugh. He loved his family more than anything. But, yeah, for me, he was just grandpa. I was born in 1996, and he was inducted into the (Pro Football) Hall of Fame a couple of years before that, so I kind of missed in my lifetime of him being this big NFL coach in a sense, and so to me, I didn't quite realize how big of a deal he was to the state of Minnesota until I was a lot older." Natalie is now a reporter and multimedia journalist for KXLY-TV, the ABC affiliate in Spokane, Washington. Among the topics she'll talk about in this episode are her grandpa's early days in Superior, spending time with him at his cabin in Gordon, those famous garage sales he held at his home in Bloomington, what the family thought when he walked onto the field in a short-sleeved shirt for the coin toss before the Vikings cold outdoor playoff game against Seattle in January of 2016, words of advice, what made him emotional, besides their last name, something else she has in common with her grandpa, and much more. You can find that episode at superiortelegram.com or whatever streaming service you listen to this podcast.  Look for part two of our series in September when telegram reporter Maria Lockwood sits down with another NNN alum, longtime sportscaster and currently a Communicating Arts senior lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, Tom Hansen for more about the great Bud Grant. In case you missed Archive Dive's 18th episode, we are re-sharing it here. Bud Grant was one of a number of famous alums of Superior Central High School. In July's podcast, titled Stories from Superior Central, Maria and local historian Teddie Meronek discussed the history of the school and the impact that it and its students had on the community.
