Welcome to another inspiring episode of "God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook."
In this episode, we are honored to have Jay Lowder as our special guest.
Jay shares his powerful testimony of overcoming deep despair and finding God during his darkest moments.
Jay Lowder, a native Texan, grew up in the culturally-rich environment of the American South, where church life was a central part of his upbringing. In his community, attending church services multiple times a week was standard. This constant engagement with church was not just about the spiritual journey for everyone; for many, it was also a social hub. Jay's story reflects the unique social fabric of Southern life, where church attendance was as much about community as it was about faith.
What's Inside This Episode? 🔥
- Jay's journey from routine church attendance to experiencing a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
- Facing life's biggest challenges and overcoming thoughts of suicide.
- Misconceptions about mental health within the faith community.
- The importance of open, judgment-free discussions about mental health.
- How to identify warning signs and support those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
- Patricia and Jay's perspectives on authentic faith amidst personal struggles.
- The powerful impact of sharing real-life stories and the gospel.
This crucial conversation comes at an important time as we observe National Suicide Prevention Month this September. Let's raise awareness, spread hope, and offer support to those in need.
Special Book Giveaway! 📖

Seven".
Let’s spread hope and light in a world that desperately needs it.

God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook - Little Strength, Big God: Lessons from Debbie W. Wilson | God-Sized Stories

Welcome to another exciting episode of God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Debbie W. Wilson, joining us to talk about her new book, Little Strength, Big God.
Debbie shares her incredible journey of faith and discovering a God greater than her Goliaths.
She opens up about her tendency to obsess over problems and her never-ending to-do list, often feeling the weight of having to fix and do everything. But she reminds us all of an important truth – God does not expect us to carry the burdens alone.
Drawing from Jesus's teachings, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective in our relationship with God. When we find ourselves emotionally uptight and not enjoying our fellowship with Him, we have lost sight of God's size.
One powerful concept that Debbie shares is the idea of being yoked to Jesus. As we work alongside Him, He carries the heavier burden, granting us rest in our souls. With this perspective, it is clear that our job is to simply trust and work with God rather than relying solely on our own strength and abilities.
Patricia also reflects on her writing career and the challenges she faced as English being her second language. Feeling inadequate and unworthy, she witnessed God do incredible things despite her weaknesses. She encourages us all that even with little strength, we serve a mighty God.
In this interview, Debbie shares her insights on topics such as the fear of God, overcoming injustice and ill treatment, and the power of obedience in cultivating a strong and vibrant faith.
Join us on this captivating journey as we discover together how to embrace the God-sized stories in our own lives. Stay tuned to God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, where we uncover inspiring tales of God's grace, strength, and mercy.

God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook - 60 is the new 30: Kerry Damiano's Adventures, Ministry, and Unwavering Trust in God
play

Send us a text

This week, I am excited to introduce you to an inspiring lady, Kerry Damiano, AKA Ms. World traveler. Many women get to their 60’s and 70’s and find themselves lost concerning their purpose in life. If they are married and have kids, the kids are usually grown and out of the house. Single women at that age are contemplating retirement, and often feel discouraged concerning what is next.
On that note, Kerry is an inspiration to all of us. Kerry is single and at an age where many women lose their zest for life. Not her. She is the creator, writer and host of her own web series/blog about travel, style and shopping. She has been to over 130 countries and all 50 states.
We'll dive deep into the profound impact of trusting in God, demonstrating unwavering faith through life's challenges, and embracing contentment in every season.
