Cheer Her On

If you're a human and have social media, you know that it's...complicated. This week, we're talking to our friend Jen Lee about how to be healthy in our choices and aware of our motivation in the digital world. We also talk about escapism in general, good fiction and why friends keep us in reality.

The first step, they say, is admitting that something is wrong. As Christians, we are called to carry one another’s burden but to be on the receiving end of that can be hard. In this honest and grounding conversation, we hear from singer/songwriter Bethany Barnard about loss, knowing our limits, and allowing the silence of God to be an invitation into His nearness. If you’re getting worn out, sit down and let her tell you some Truth.

Laura Tremaine is about to go there and talk about why we sometimes struggle to celebrate. Are we being honest about what we want and then getting disappointed when it doesn't happen? This conversation covers a whole lot: writing, celebration, anxiety, honesty, community and the process of learning. Buckle up, people, it's going to be a whole thing.

Jamie Ivey is a podcast host, author, and encourager and in this episode, we talked about the importance of community, hard conversations, and what to do when you feel hurt or full of shame. She said it well when she said, "The friend that you want to have is the friend that you have to be."

Welcome to the finale of Cheer Her On Season 1! Honestly, Lisa Whittle is the best gal for this because she is a seasoned ministry leader with some WISDOM for us. Listen in as we discuss friendship, focusing on Jesus and why it matters that you invest in others.
