The Saltworks

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!

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 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...

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.

We had such a great time, and I enjoyed giving her full reign over the conversation and the questions, but m...

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.

Send us Fan Mail Well I got wild and crazy this week, because I waited until the very last minute to record, let alone edit, this week's episode. I thought I knew what I wanted to talk about, but the Lord changed it at the last minute which meant extra reading and writing prior to recording. BUT I'm so glad I waited, because the Lord had a different plan. Today's Saltworks podcast g...

She thought she would just turn around and say an encouraging word at church one morning, but I ended up trapping her into being a part of the podcast!
