Stories he...

Courtney talks with Becca Wilson about ministering to those with disabilities and special needs. Sometimes loving those the world often overlooks and forgets takes us outside our comfort zones. But when we obey the call to get uncomfortable for the sake of loving others like Jesus, the reward is more than we could imagine. 

Courtney talks with Beads for Good Founder Elizabeth Grantham to talk about making  a difference around the world no matter your age. If you feel called to do something, don't doubt that God will help see it through. The important thing is that when you see a need - you simply say “yes” to being a part of the solution. 

Courtney talks with Michael Hirsch about Loveworks Leadership - an after-school program giving every student a chance to lead based in OKC. They talk about the importance of empowering the next generation to learn and grow to their full potential and how a heart of generosity toward others can ripple farther than you thought possible. 

Courtney sits down with Simple Modern co-founder and CEO Mike Beckham. They talk about creating a culture that people want to be a part of, aligning your focus with your mission, and creating products that give back in more ways than one.  If you're struggling with feeling like your job is just a job, give this episode a listen. You have more to offer than just a product. 

Co-Founders Courtney & Steve Bullard talk about what they're thankful for (hint: probably you), the holidays, our 2021 Gala, and what the future holds for the Pearl House. 

Courtney talks with author and church-planter Shauna Pilgreen about life in San Francisco, how to live sent in the place you call home, and remaining thankful even when God calls you to scary places. "We’re all broken, and our mission is to spend the rest of our days loving broken people and pointing them to Jesus."

Courtney talks with Melody Black about family, gratitude, her journey through her cancer diagnosis at age 30, and being a Ross Ambassador (yes - like the clothing/home goods/random gift store Ross). Melody shares the lessons she's learned along the way and instilling in her children - from the simplicity of kindness to the complexity of navigating hard paths and still being joyful in the midd...

Courtney and Katy Herman visit about loss, grief, and finding joy even when times are darkest. Whatever trial or storm you are facing - there is still joy in the middle of sadness. It’s ok to wrestle with it. It’s ok to not want to be happy. It’s ok to choose joy even when you’re feeling empty. There is hope. You are not alone. 

Court talks with Josh Wilson , husband to Becca/father to Asher/singer and writer of songs/independent ear-wiggler about thankfulness.  From gratitude for the small things to dealing with anxiety - all of our emotions belong, and it’s okay to not be okay. Don’t get overwhelmed by all there is to do. You are a part of an orchestra. You can’t do it all. But you can play your part. To find out more a...

Courtney talks with Becky about how we often over-complicate giving - but every dollar matters. And Beck shares an incredible story so we’ll go ahead and suggest you grab the tissues. Listen to this practical wisdom about giving, how to get your whole family involved in making a difference, and remember - no dollar is insignificant, no person is insignifcant. Every dollar, every person has a story...
