Rebecca George is our first repeat guest! She's here to share her new book, “You're Not Too Late,” which serves as a guide for those of us feeling the pressure to rush through life. In this conversation, we're tackling the misconceptions of the “prosperity gospel,” exploring how it can lead to burnout, disappointment, and a feeling of inadequacy. Listen in as we highlight that trusting in God's timing is not just a nice sentiment - it's the lifeline we need in a culture that values speed over substance.This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a heartfelt invitation to slow down, breathe, and trust that we are all exactly where we need to be in life.Episode HighlightsRebecca shares what breathing room looks and feels like for her and how that has changed since our conversation last year. The danger of the prosperity gospel lies in its pressure to constantly achieve more, which can lead to burnout and disappointment. Both joy and grief can coexist beautifully in our lives; it's all about recognizing that it's okay to feel multiple emotions at once.Intentional time-blocking is key to reclaiming your time and prioritizing what truly matters, whether it's self-care, family, or just some well-deserved downtime.Trusting God's timing when life feels like a hurry-up-and-wait situation is a skill worth cultivating; it's all about finding peace in the process.Resources MentionedYou're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World by Rebecca GeorgeDo the Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl by Rebecca GeorgeRelated Episodes You Might Also LikeEP 2 - Slow Growth and Capacity with Mary MarantzEP 18 - Giving Yourself Grace Through Seasons of LifeEP 26 - Conquering Your Insecurities with Jenn SchultzEP 29 - Identity and Purpose with Chronic Pain and IllnessEP 40 - Pursuing Purpose with Rebecca George EP 41 - Are You Sleepwalking Through Life?Connect with RebeccaWebsite: www.radicalradiance.liveFacebook: @radicalradiancepodcastInstagram: @rebeccageorgeauthorBook Website: www.nottoolatebook.liveConnect with RachelWebsite: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email:

In this episode of Radical Radiance, host Rebecca George and her husband, Dustin George, are joined by renowned apologist and bestselling author Lee Strobel, who talks about the vital evidence supporting the resurrection of Jesus AND his newest book Is God Real?. With a discussion that distills complex apologetics into four essential 'e' words, Strobel explores execution, early reports, empty tomb, and eyewitnesses to make a case for the truth of the resurrection. They also touch on the topic of suffering in connection with God's existence, offering encouragement into Christianity's answer to why we endure pain and offering hope through Christ. Lee Strobel, former award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times bestselling author whose books have sold millions of copies worldwide. Lee earned a journalism degree at the University of Missouri and was awarded a Ford Foundation fellowship to study at Yale Law School, where he received a Master of Studies in Law degree. He was a journalist for fourteen years at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois' top honors for investigative reporting (which he shared with a team he led) and public service journalism from United Press International. Lee also taught First Amendment Law at Roosevelt University. A former atheist, he served as a teaching pastor at three of America's largest churches. Lee and his wife, Leslie, have been married for more than fifty years and live in Texas. Their daughter, Alison, and son, Kyle, are also authors. Website: www.leestrobel.com Rebecca, Dustin and Lee chat about: Lee Strobel's background, journey from atheism to Christianity, and the influence of his wife's conversion on his life Evidence for the resurrection of Jesus The importance of understanding and engaging in conversations about the resurrection and suffering in relation to God's existence The role of Christianity in addressing the question of suffering and the value of love and free will in God's plan for humankind The structure of the apologetics pyramid, covering concepts from defining truth to the validation of the gospel. Conversations on the redemptive aspect of pain and suffering as part of God's plan of redemption for all creation. Discussion on the decline in belief in God and the cultural changes around faith and skepticism. PSSSSSST!

Laura gives practical tips for supporting those struggling with mental health issues and the importance of prayer and community. Laura L. Smith has been searching her whole life for beauty.

The world is filled with beauty, but for her that was another story. It took her years to discover her true beauty, to fully grasp she is made in the image of her Creator, and therefore, she is beautiful. The incredible thing is…so are you. You were marvelously made by God to inspire awe. No matter what the world tries to tell you, no matter what you try to tell yourself. No one can rob you of the incredible true identity God instilled in you. Smith tells stories (through books, blogs, and speaking) in hopes of helping you discover what took her so long to see: your beautiful true reflection in Christ.
