We all have dreams, but how do you discern which dreams to pursue? In this episode, Courtney speaks with Lauren, a wife and mother who is unfulfilled in her current job. Lauren's dream is to move to Florida and become a Walt Disney Imagineer. Courtney and Lauren work together to bring clarity around Lauren's dream. Is this vision God-lead? And if it is, is her fear getting in the way of her faith?

For many Christians, the act of giving seems more transactional than spiritual. In the age of automatic (online) payments, giving can simply feel like paying another bill.
Join me and Rodney Ross, generosity leader at Life Church, as we uncover the emotional journey behind each financial gift, transforming what often seems like mundane transactions into profound celebrations of faith.
Rodney, with his deep appreciation for the narratives that numbers can tell, invites us into a world where every contribution is recognized as a sacred footprint in someone's life story, showcasing the true richness of generosity and living life with Christ.
This episode promises to shift any discomfort around money talks into opportunities for connection and spiritual formation.

Have you ever been overwhelmed by the idea of giving? It can be difficult to know which causes to support, how much to give, and who to trust. Join me, Courtney Markley, as I engage in a compelling conversation with Brian Grasso, the insightful co-founder and CEO of Simple Charity. Brian sheds light on the often-overlooked challenges and emotions involved in charitable giving.

Our discussion tackles the decision paralysis many face, emphasizing informed generosity as a means to align donations with personal values and create meaningful change.
As Brian shares, it all begins with love.
