*This episode mentions suicide and may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, we hear from Niki Hardy—a writer, speaker, and coach who brings honesty and hope to life’s most difficult moments. Niki has weathered seasons of cancer, grief, burnout, and questions of faith. After transitioning from a corporate career into nonprofit and ministry work, she came to believe that life doesn’t have to be pain-free to be full. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Danette Crawford, founder of Joy Ministries. Danette shares her journey through heartbreak, single motherhood, and the challenges of starting over. She reflects on how joy is more than a feeling—it’s a deep-rooted strength—and encourages listeners to embrace service to others as a path to a more fulfilling life.

And through all that, I’ve come to believe God loves a cheerful doubter.” - Niki Hardy “It’s possible to experience the full, abundant life right in the midst of all we’re enduring and to thrive, not just survive. Life doesn’t have to be pain-free to be full.” - Niki Hardy “If I chat with God, I might not find the answers that I’m looking for, but I will find the relationship and the intimacy that I am really after.” - Niki Hardy “When we are going through times when either life isn’t going as we hoped or expected and it’s just annoying and frustrating or when it’s deeply painful and life-altering, it’s in that place of walking and talking and chatting with God that we find peace in our hard moments.” - Niki Hardy “We love that God is knowable, but we also have to reconcile and live in the mystery that He’s also unknowable.” - Niki Hardy “I had to make the choice to forgive. I had to make the choice to go forward. I had to get up out of my mess.” - Niki Hardy “We need to realize that when things change—because things will change fast—we can hang on to the truth of God’s Word. And we can hang on to our deep-rooted faith and trust.” - Danette Crawford “It’s when we go through situations and circumstances that really shake us and test our faith and test our joy that we are faced with a decision. And I made a decision that I was going to get my happy back.” - Danette Crawford “When you are determined to get your eyes off of yourself and go minister to others, trust me, joy will spring up in you.

When doubts and questions started to emerge for church planter and author Niki Hardy, it was hard to know what to do with them. Niki Hardy shares her journey of learning to get real with God, learning to talk and process with Him in a new way, in this vulnerable and important conversation with AllMomDoes host Julie Lyles Carr.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4joqdUE 

Ever felt like your faith was hanging by a thread—but you were too afraid to say it out loud?In this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and spiritual guide Niki Hardy to talk about her newest book, God, Can We Chat?, and the freedom we find when we stop pretending everything's fine and bring our real questions to God.After walking through deep grief, spiritual burnout, and what she calls “death by a thousand paper cuts,” Niki realized that asking hard questions didn't mean she was losing her faith—it meant she was fighting for it.Together, we unpack:Why your doubts aren't dangerous—but actually essential to real faithHow to ask God hard questions without fear, guilt, or shameThe 5 lies we believe that keep us from honest conversations with GodThe CHAT framework to help you process pain with God (and not just about Him)Why Jesus gives you permission to wrestle, grieve, and not have it all figured outWhether you're grieving, burnt out, or secretly scared you're losing your faith—this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and walks with you through the mess.✨ Quote to Remember:“God isn't intimidated by your questions—He's already holding space for them.”

Today, I'm so glad to talk with author, speaker, and friend, Niki Hardy. Niki is the author of three books, including her latest, God, Can We Chat?, in which she writes about doubt and faith at the same time. Whether you're a doubting believer, a believing doubter, or you're not quite sure, we're going to get into what happens when we come to the intersection of faith, doubt, and skepticism. I hope you'll listen in.   LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Order God, Can We Chat? by Niki Hardy Visit Niki's website Follow Niki on Instagram Find Niki on Substack Download The Quiet Collection app Join The Soul Minimalist Substack Order a How to Walk into a Room Download the free discussion guide for How to Walk into a Room by visiting this page and clicking the button "Discussion Guide" Download the transcript

It wasn’t one big event that caused her to doubt her faith, it was more like a million paper cuts. Niki Hardy, author of God, Can We Chat? knows what it’s like to look for answers and certainty to save your faith, but the truth is, certainty is a fickle friend. God and faith are a mystery after all. Looking at her today: missionary from the UK, Christian author, and international speaker - you’d never guess that she would wrestle with doubt. But when Niki lost her mom to cancer, then her sister, and was diagnosed with cancer herself she feared she might lose her faith altogether. Yes, our questions hold power but not to destroy or weaken our faith, but strengthen it - one honest chat at a time.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I know when we're struggling in life sometimes the first thing that comes up is doubts about God or our relationship with him. I get it! Today we're talking to author Niki Hardy–she recently wrote “God Can We Chat” – a conversation about doubts and how that can lead us to grow closer to God. -

Everyone has doubts about God but it's hard for us to talk about them. But when we don't talk about them, it actually weakens our faith in Him. In this episode, we explore how honest questions can strengthen, not weaken, our connection with God. Inspired by Niki Hardy's new book, God, Can We Chat?, Barb and Niki discuss embracing doubts as the start of a deeper, more authentic faith. Come as you are and discover the unrelenting love of a God who welcomes your questions.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Niki on Instagram Connect with Niki on Facebook God, Can We Chat?

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with questions about your faith? Wondering if God is still near, still listening, still good? If so, I want you to know that you’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I talked with Niki Hardy about her book, God, Can We Chat? It’s an honest, refreshing, and grace-filled invitation to bring our doubts and questions to God—without fear, shame, or pretending we have it all together. So often, we think our faith is only strong if we never question or waver. But Niki reminds us that God isn’t afraid of our questions—He welcomes them. Rather than weakening our faith, honest conversations with God can deepen and strengthen it. If you’re in a season where faith feels hard, where you feel distant from God or unsure of what you believe, I encourage you to tune in. You don’t have to have all the answers to come to Him—He asks that you come. I’d love to hear—have you ever had a “chat” with God that changed your perspective? Hit reply and let me know. I’m always grateful to walk this journey of faith with you.

Teaching our kids to hear from God is something we don't necessarily teach. We teach our kids to do things like read the word or pray, but teaching our kids to hear from God can sometimes seem a bit trickier. In today's episode, I chat with Niki Hardy about why we should be encouraging our kids to hear from God and how we can help them do that. We also unpack trusting God and how we can help our kids do this also. I pray this episode blesses the socks off you. XO Deb Connect with Niki on Instagram.

GET YOUR FREE DEVOTION: Grace to Grow: A 5-Day Study of Patience and Prayer The other day, on our way home from a trip together, my son asked me how I can be sure that I'm hearing God's voice. I've been there. I get why he's asking that. This world has a lot of voices, and a good number of them conflict not only with each other, but also with the message of the Bible. So how do we help our children know how to discern God's voice from the many others vying for their attention? Tune in now as my guest, Niki Hardy, helps us learn! You won't want to miss this episode! *********** Today's show is brought to you by our newest Prayer Guide, Praying God's Word for Your Child to Find Their Purpose, by Brittany Ann, of Equipping Godly Women. Tackle the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” from a biblical perspective. The way our children answer this common question varies wildly from day to day. From teacher, to fire-fighter, to astronaut, to juggler, we just never know what they'll say. For young children, this question is full of promise and excitement. They can be anything they want! The sky's the limit, and it's fun to dream. But as our children get older, this question takes on new meaning. The excitement of endless possibilities gradually gives way to the pressure of choosing the right college, career, job, or relationship. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” becomes stressful, almost agonizing, as young adults wrestle with major decisions that will undoubtedly affect the rest of their lives. But what if finding their purpose didn't have to be so stressful? What if our children could know with confidence exactly what God wants them to do? In Praying God's Word for Your Child to Find Their Purpose, you'll pray for God to work in your children's hearts to: Draw near to God in sincere faith Be guided by the Holy Spirit Learn how to love sacrificially and with intention Learn to walk in God's strength instead of their own Find rest in God alone Understand God's bigger plan Submit their plans to God's And more! With biblical teaching, scripture-inspired prayers, and space to journal using our Think, Pray, Praise method of daily prayer, this digital prayer guide is perfect for the busy mom who needs God to move in the hearts of her kids. Learn more here.

Episode Summary: Have you or someone you love been diagnosed with cancer? Are you wondering how to pray for yourself or a loved one battling cancer? Then stick around, and consider sharing this episode with someone in the battle because today we're going to be talking about How to pray when battling cancer. My husband and I, as well as today's guest, Niki Hardy, have all been through this, and we've had many friends and loved ones on the cancer journey. Even if you haven't been given a cancer diagnosis, you know someone who has so I hope today's episode will encourage you. Quotables from the episode: Life doesn't have to be pain-free to be full, so go live it. I lost my mum and sister to cancer and was then diagnosed. I was determined to survive until that was all I was doing. Eventually, I learned how to thrive, not just survive, and uncover the full life God had for me right in the midst of the pain. Trusting God isn't something that happens the moment we meet Jesus (so you can stop beating yourself up for not having faith made of steel). It's a choice we make on the daily. Trusting God isn't the silver bullet to a world without worry but it is the key to fighting back and moving forward. To help increase our trust in God, we can check out God's credentials: is He who He says He is, has He done what He said He would do, and am I who He says I am? Don't go through the cancer journey alone—ask God for help. Choose to hold on and let go: hold onto God and his faithfulness, and let go of the illusion of control to embrace God's plan. Create a bank of evidence of God's faithfulness to bolster your ability to trust God: when and where and how has God proved himself faithful to you in the past? Remember those times. The best way to help others on their cancer journeys is through the ministry of presence: don't try to do or say the perfect thing, just be imperfectly present flaws and all.

As unfathomable as it may seem, God allows our prayers to impact the world. We see the significance of prayers offered on behalf of others over and over again in the Bible. Even, Jesus modeled the importance of praying for others when he interceded for his disciples, for children, and for us as future believers (John 17). In fact, Jesus is still interceding for us at the right hand of God, advocating on our behalf (Romans 8:34). If we know God's power is infinitely greater than ours, it only makes sense to rely on it, right? So, whether in public or in private, with many words or with few, with eyes closed or with eyes wide open, at morning or at night, we simply must talk to God and leave the results up to him. ​ ​Niki Hardy is on the show today sharing her cancer story and the value of prayer to help women cope with the fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. Join us to experience God's peace and provision through a little prayer. Connect with Niki: Nikihardy.com @niki.hardy

Well today's guest, Niki Hardy, had already lost her mom and sister to cancer when she got her own diagnosis of cancer. But she decided early on that she wouldn't put life on hold because of the dreaded C-word. Instead, she chose to be a thriver, not just a survivor. So, if you've received the same diagnosis, or if you love someone who has, then listen in. With wisdom, insight, empathy, and yes, a little humor, Niki will help you transform fear into faith as you navigate the ups and downs of this difficult journey. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/231

Your body is pretty incredible, but what about when your body feels like it doesn't like you or is actively working against you? How do you give your body grace when it feels like it's betraying you? How can you be a grace-giver to your flesh, blood, marrow, tendons, and cells when you feel as if you're surviving, not thriving? I'm so thankful writer + cancer survivor Niki Hardy offered her Jesus-centered wisdom in Episode #110 of the Grace In Real Life podcast.  In our conversation, Niki shares: small steps to build your trust in God, practical ideas to help a friend who's battling a disease and the four voices in your head + the one you should listen to the most. Key Quotes “God didn't promise us perfect bodies, whether it's stretch marks, wrinkles or cancer.” - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “If I was going to trust God when things were hard, I had to plan to do it and learn to do it while things were easy because trusting God doesn't come naturally.” - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “God so wants to meet us in our pain and suffering. He's not aloof. He's not off helping someone more spiritual than us. He's not angry.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “God is desperate to minister to us, to be present to us, to give us His peace and His hope and His comfort.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “God is such a gentleman that He will rarely barge in and take over. Our responsibility is to invite Him in.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “We can offer our bodies grace by offering ourselves grace and not beating ourselves up.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “Sit in the mess with them, in the pain, and not try to fix it or encourage them.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “Life doesn't have to be pain-free to be full.” - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard “Right in the middle of the mess, we can still live and experience the full, abundant life Jesus came to give us.”  “An abundant life isn't about health and wealth and how eas life is, but it's about how intimate and precious and beautiful and how connected we feel with each other and with God and in His presence.”  - Author + cancer thriver Niki Hard Mentioned in the Podcast The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

She's the author of the new release, Breathe Again: Living Well When Life Falls Apart. And she speaks across the country teaching women how to thrive, not just survive. In this episode, we talk all about her story about what it was like to lose her mom and her sister to cancer and then six weeks later, be diagnosed with rectal cancer.

Niki gives us really practical tips (which I love) to help move us through really hard things. Honestly, it doesn't have to be a cancer diagnosis. We are each facing something painful and God wants to walk with us through the pain. Niki gives us so many ways to join Him in the journey. I have already taken some of her tips and put them into practice. Get ready friends. You are going to love my friend , Niki.
