We are still pinching ourselves that we had the honor of speaking with Suzanne Stabile! This conversation is filled with grace, truth, love, and wisdom as we are all figuring out how to live in such a divided society.

She has spoken to College audiences that include Baylor and Drury Universities, Hendrix College, Perkins School of Theology (SMU) and Brite Divinity School (TCU), Formation Gathering 2017 (Harvard Divinity School), Pepperdine Bible Lectures 2017, Seminary of the Southwest, hundreds of churches across America including First Baptist Austin, Highland Park United Methodist, Dallas, First Congregational Church, L.A., Otter Creek Church, Nashville, First Baptist Church, Portland, and teaches in the Baylor Health Care System, in Dallas, in both the Cancer and Transplant Hospitals. Additionally, she has taught at Richard Rohr's Center for Action and Contemplation and has been a speaker for Conferences offered by the CAC. She taught with Father Rohr to an international audience in Assisi, Italy, on The Enneagram and Paradox. Other events Suzanne has spoken at include The North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church, Christianity 21, The Festival of Courage and Faith in Greenwich CT, the Emerging Christianity and Telemachus Conferences, the Southwest Regional Gathering of the Disciples of Christ, Laity Lodge and The Apprentice Gathering.

She has served as a high school professor, the first women's basketball coach at SMU after Title IX, and as the founding Director of Shared Housing, a social service agency in Dallas. When she is not on the road teaching and lecturing, Suzanne is at home in Dallas, Texas with her husband Rev. Joseph Stabile, a United Methodist pastor with whom she co-founded Life in the Trinity Ministry and the Micah Center. She is the mother of four children and grandmother of nine: Will, Noah, Sam, Gracie, Elle, Joley, Jase, Piper, and Josie.

What does it mean to follow Jesus with the explicit purpose of becoming the best version of yourself possible? Josh Graves -- who, by the way, is the preaching and teaching minister at Otter Creek Church – has given this quite a bit of thought and will share those thoughts with us on Thursday morning. He says he wants to be with like-minded men who want to follow Jesus. Josh's most recent book, The Simple Secret, has a wonderful subtitle: “Choosing Love in a Culture of Hostility.” “According to Jesus,” says Josh, “the purpose of our existence is to love and be loved. . . . The secret of life, it turns out, is no secret at all.”
Brent Van Hook interviews Josh Graves of http://ottercreek.org/ (Otter Creek Church) in Tennessee.

Eights are often called the Challengers, but I like to call them the Protectors or Defenders. Every type has a basic fear and desire coloring the waters of their personality. The basic fear of an Eight is being not in control of their self. The basic desire is to avoid feeling weak or vulnerable. But Eights can often be misinterpreted. Though they can often appear blunt and aggressive, Eights are truly about justice and looking out for their tribe and making sure others feel like they belong. Eights have lots of energy. They are high energy, movement people who like to see things get done. The downside of Eights might be that they are low on the vulnerability side of things. They only trust a small amount of people, and though it may take a lot to get in the trust circle, it doesn't take much for you to get out. It's very hard to get on the list, and then you just have to do one thing and you're off the list. But what does it look like when an Eight has done their work and views life through the healthy lens of an Eight? Listen in as Patrick Chappell discusses various triggers and how he approaches them from the lens of an Eight. Patrick is southern born and bred, having been born in Birmingham and raised in Chattanooga. Patrick earned his degree in Oral Communication and Public Relations from Lipscomb University. He then served as an Admissions Recruiter for the University, traveling the country to bring students to Nashville for a Christian education. He is currently the College and Young Adult Minister at Otter Creek Church in Brentwood, TN. Patrick is passionate about life, spending many hours reading, going to concerts, taking in movies and his favorite TV shows, as well as spending countless hours over coffee with friends. He's also a big fan of the band Weezer.
