The Misfit Messengers Podcast

Christmas is a familiar story, but do we let the power of it sink in? 

Another episode with guests! Our friends Kristen & Bobby join us to talk about their ministry in Des Moines and how ministry is all about people and relationships. Also a long list of books you could add to your list.

Hanging out with our friends Ali & Nathan talking about how they met, reading good books, and their unique journey to parenthood. Also Nathan mentions an app he uses at times for devotions called Lectio 365. You can download it for free wherever you get apps for your phone, tablet, etc.

Listen as we talk about the book of Judges and God's desire to save and redeem. "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial."

A wonderful chat with friends Rachel & Aaron where we discuss God's redeeming work in our lives and how we can use our stories for God's glory.

Talking about the call of Matthew (Levi) the tax collector by Jesus. You can find the story in each of the synoptic Gospels: Matthew 9, Mark 2, Luke 5. Did Matthew the tax collector say yes to Jesus' call because of a story he had heard about the healing of the paralytic? 

Check out our conversation with our friends, Scott and Makayla where we talk about being good neighbors, the food scene in Wichita, and reading some good books. 

What is hope? Why can Christians have hope and faith in Christ? As Christians we can be excited and energetic about the hope that we have in Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

Part two of our conversation with Barb and Rob where we talk about needing joy to help combat jadedness among other topics. 

The first half of a two part-er with Major Barb and Lt. Rob, friends of ours who currently minister in Michigan. Hear about their passion and drive for those in recovery and what they are currently learning in Scripture. 

An impromptu recording on a random Tuesday. Talking about setting apart Christ as Lord in our hearts, a little bit of vulnerability from Jenny about a experience as a missionary in Hungary, and looking at some verses in 1 Peter.  We love to hear feedback, please comment to let us know what you think, suggestions you might have, or questions you'd like to ask.

We welcomed our friends, Matt and Kaylie Darrow on this week's episode where we talked about everything from the northern lights to building relationships. 

We welcomed our friend and fellow Salvation Army officer, Lt. Kenneth on the podcast today (he was in our class at training school). We covered a lot of ground about life, family, and faith. Kenneth provided a great deal of spiritual meat to chew friends. This one might take a couple of listens!

When both of us end up reading in Isaiah 30 independently from each other on the same day, it's probably a good idea to let the Holy Spirit lead us through the chapter together. Check out Isaiah 30 for yourself, it's worth the read.

"Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise" What might that look like? Why is it often difficult to turn over each moment to God? Baby steps and frolicking squirrels. 

Another meandering conversation covering so much ground within the Old and New Testaments, having joy in the Lord because of who He is, pop culture references, and a fair amount of laughter. Join us on the winding road.

Find out Amanda's favorite Proverb. Hear about Mr. Jerry. Enjoy our wandering conversation over a variety of topics.

A check in with one another, talking about camp, the roller-coaster that is life sometimes, and God's abundant blessings.

Our first guests!!! Capts. Rich and Linnea Forney. We talk about what keeps us going each day in ministry (among other things).

Wrapping up the conversation on Proverbs 30:7-9 with regard to poverty and the valley of the shadow of death.  We encourage feedback, comments, and questions. What's on your mind? What are you thinking about today?

Conversation about Proverbs 30:7-9. What strikes you about this section? What is your favorite Proverb? Feel free to share.

God is love AND God is holy. In today's episode we discuss the unchanging characteristics of God. Scripture references: Exodus 34, John 3 & 4. How do you experience God's love and His holiness?

Why do some people grow in their walk with Christ and others do not? How do we live out our Christian walk in the messiness of life? How does Cooper (Jenny's dog) react to fireworks being shot off in the neighborhood? What kind of tomato are you? Just some questions you may find answers to if you listen to today's episode.

Talking about camp ministry, faith by little bits, and all with allergies and respiratory infection. Seriously, take it easy, we both were struggling with even breathing when we recorded this.

Still in Genesis talking about God growing the faith of Abraham and Isaac as He continues to reassure them of His presence and provision. Obedience is going step by step following the Lord.
