The Saltworks

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to our newest segment-- Topic Tuesday! Back on the podcast today is your new favorite co-host, Lindsay Stagg. Today we are talking all things weariness, loneliness, vulnerability, and friendship. What we always want y'all to know is we aren't so much trying to bring answers as we are trying to bring perspectives and questions to initiate these conversations....

Send us Fan Mail Our friend Erik Hsu is on the podcast today, and you do not want to miss it! He has an incredible story of a kid with lots of inconsistent pieces that formed his childhood. Yet, you will hear in that same story, a God who consistently chased him down and brought people alongside him no matter where life took him. A big thing for Erik is the evidence of God because his story is ful...

Send us Fan Mail This one is a definite notetaker, parents!! In today's episode, Jayme Stokes will offer parenting advice right alongside much-needed grace and permission for your heart. While she encourages parents today that even in our mistakes, we aren't failing, she also gives so much wisdom on how we might set them up for a good relationship with the Lord. We covered so many questi...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast today is the sweetest soul Jamie Halley. She is down-to-earth, loyal, and so kind. Once a shy girl, she loves to share all who will listen about Jesus. Her story has not been an easy one, though. While we didn't get into some other seasons of her story that I would have loved to, today we camped out on her and Jonathon's marriage testimony. Though they bot...

Send us Fan Mail Today we are trying something new, and my longtime best friend and NOW co-worker Lindsay Stagg is on the podcast to cover some hard but necessary topics. Don't worry, the stories you and I love so much are not disappearing, but this will allow us to go into depth on some of the issues we touch on. Today, we are covering why boundaries are needed, how to gauge if we need them,...

Send us Fan Mail Jamie Owen is on the podcast today, and you're going to love her! Sometimes, we're looking at the faithfulness of God unfolding before us, and other times, like much of Jamie's life, we are looking back at all the times He was there protecting us when we didn't even see it. Today we talk about Jamie's story of slowly getting to know Jesus over the course o...

Send us Fan Mail Believe me when I say, you need this WHOLE episode. Parker Lee is on the podcast today, and there is just so much freedom in the message he shares. Parker takes us through his journey of getting into ministry, becoming a missionary, and then the hardship that followed through cancer and deep heartbreak. What I love most about this episode today is the honesty of what still feels b...

Send us Fan Mail Today on the podcast we have Grant Wilson! If you have been listening since the very beginning, you'll remember Bethany from episode 1, and now we have Grant to complete the couple! You're going to love his story and perspective which is so relatable to us all. In this episode, we talk all about identity, worth, marriage, divorce, putting on the Armor of God, and the onl...

Send us Fan Mail We study and talk a lot about who God is on this podcast. We talk about his character, what he's done, and what he is able to do. Our lives must become centered around how we see God. But what are you believing about how he sees you? Because we can toss around the phrase "it's not about you," in a lot of different scenarios and many would be true. But sometimes...

Send us Fan Mail Man, oh man. I really enjoy visiting with this woman, and today you will certainly see why! Lu Ann Butler is a dear family friend, and she lives her life with such passion and conviction that you just can't help but join in! Today she shares wisdom, insight, a beautiful view on mentorship, but ultimately she tells a story about a day when she had lost sight of hope. Lu Ann vu...

Send us Fan Mail My pastor's wife, my middle school camp chaperone, my high school small group leader, and my mother-in-law Amy Dye is on the podcast today, and it is gold! Andrew co-hosted with me, and Amy had to give us all her disclaimers of how much this is outside of her comfort zone, BUT you will see what a blessing it was that she pushed past those fears to share and how many times she...

Send us Fan Mail Y'all, Jean Brown is on the podcast today and I can't wait for you to get to know her! She is my aunt by marriage, and everybody's biggest cheerleader. One thing I hear people say often is that they don't really have "a story," or in Jean's case, "a lane." But what I love is that her heart and her intentionality to do ministry wherever...

Send us Fan Mail What a powerful marriage testimony today from Jon Gimber on the podcast! I wanted to give a heads-up to any parents with kids at home, we do cover some adult topics, so make sure you filter through before playing it in front of little ears. What I love is Jon's willingness to face his fears to lay out the good, bad, and ugly if it helps one person to hear truth. What amazes m...

Send us Fan Mail I LOVE THIS GIRL! Clara Crossland is the wisest, old soul in the most adorable young person. Her story is a neat perspective that really inspires my vision for the Saltworks-- that everyone truly has a story to tell. Right alongside that truth is the message that God paints the most purpose-filled, unique stories in the lives of those who are simply willing to trust him. Just to h...

Send us Fan Mail Are you struggling to step out in faith? Last week we talked about unbelief, but this week we're digging a little deeper into our doubts. Even when we fully believe God's word, we can still question if we're where we're supposed to be. If we can actually do what the Lord’s called us to. Oftentimes in our obedience we can begin to doubt if we heard correctly or...

Send us Fan Mail Are you having any doubts? Are you struggling to cling to faith? This episode is for you. Gaines Roberts is on the podcast today, and with all the life changes he's experienced, he's the perfect person to speak to change, doubts, faith, and purpose. We not only talk about how doubting doesn't make us bad, but we also talk about what to do with those fears, and how t...

Send us Fan Mail GOODNESS this is a wonderful episode, and I'm so excited about this week.

Her heart, her humor, and the faith in her incredible story are all so contagious. Angel shares how she...

Send us Fan Mail Yall. What an amazing story, and what an amazing person to boldly share it. Gaelin Craighead is on the podcast today, and she is everything brave and vulnerable all in one. Stories like Gaelin's are the very heart of why this podcast is important to me, because without hearing someone's background, we'd really have no idea what people have had to overcome. You will...

She's a mom of 3, a pastor's wife, a 7th grade teacher, and one of my real life friends. She's the trip guru, fun-planner, and deep talks at sonic friend.

Send us Fan Mail I CANNOT believe it's the LAST episode of Season 1 here in the Saltworks!! And I have to say I've never been so relaxed to record and so afraid to press publish. Today I swapped seats and sat in the guest chair while my great friend Emily Jones stepped in as host. We had such a great time, and I enjoyed giving her full reign over the conversation and the questions, but m...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Amy Givler is on the podcast this morning and it is SO good. What a way to wind down the very first season of the Saltworks.

Beginning with her incredible story of how she became a Christian and continuing through every season following....

For those of you who don't, you're just going to love her! On today's episode, Emily shares her strong faith right from the beginning through her bold prayers for her mom's recovery. In the episode, we'll talk about Go...

Send us Fan Mail The reason we cannot fully know what love is without knowing its Creator is because it does indeed come in many different forms, and so it must be understood from the heart of love itself. From the very character of God. Because love is this way, pride is much the same. We could not rightly recognize pride, though perhaps in one example, without knowing its origins as well. And th...

Send us Fan Mail I did not know if I had it in me this week to interview, but GUYS this episode was something I needed to hear and you will too! Talk about divine appointment.
