Trust Falls and High Kicks

#43. Thats A Wrap Season 2 2021

Welcome to the last episode of Season 2, 2021! I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for two whole years! It’s been hard and wonderful and scary and life-changing. This year we have had so much fun and had amazing guests on the show. It has been an honor and a joy to share all these stories with you this season. Now to wrap up Season 2, we have dug back into the archives of the year and are sharing with you some of the pieces that didn’t make the final cut. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just straight-up us laughing at each other. I hope you enjoy these little extras, these glimpses back on this TF&HK podcasting year of 2021.

#42. High Kicking in 2021

I hope you all enjoyed our previous episode where we talked through some of the trust falls we’ve experienced thus far in 2021, and how we can persevere and encourage one another. But most importantly, how we can see Jesus in the middle of all the hard, and how we trust Him with it. Now for this episode we are focusing on the high kicks of 2021! All the the joys that this year has brought thus far. So let’s get to kickin'!

#41. Trust Falling in 2021

I don’t know if y’all know this, but this year has been a doozie. Hard like 2020, but a different kind of hard. And just like every year of our lives, we have highs and lows; we have high kicks and we have trust falls. In this episode, we are going to talk through some of this year’s trust falls in our lives and in society as a whole. So let’s jump right in and talk about the hard, but also talk about how we see hope and Jesus right in the middle of it.

#40. High Kickers' Roundtable

As I mentioned at the end of the Nourishing Fall episode, we’re going to change things up a bit to finish out Season 2 on the podcast. We want to lean into joy, hope, and having more fun. In this episode, Brooke and I are asking each other super random questions, some silly and some serious. We basically crack each other up the whole time, with a smattering of sweet insights into the duo behind the TF&HK podcast.

#39. Nourishing Fall with Jessica Looney

It's time once again for our next Nourishing Season episode with Jessica Looney! This is actually our last Nourishing Life episode! Don’t worry, I’m sure we will have Jes back on, as she is our official TFHK wellness guru. Today we are talking about all things Fall and the things we love and the things we don’t so much. Hint: pumpkin spice lattes. We discuss some ways to nourish your soul, mind, body, and relationships during this Fall season. Listen in as we dive into how to prepare for a season of thankfulness and joy.

“Culturally, you have to make a break some where. You have to let go of something in order to receive something else...” Chris & Dee Dee Pierson Listen 🔈 as Chris, Dee Dee, & I talk about how vastly different being a missionary looks today vs 25 years ago.

#38. Missions: Past and Present with Chris & Dee Dee Pierson

Here we are, the last episode of our Missions Series! Chris and Dee Dee Pierson (parents of our resident TF&HK wellness guru Jes Looney from Nourishing Life by Jes) join me in a conversation about how mission work looked 30+ years ago versus how it looks now. The Piersons were missionaries in New Zealand for 12 years before cell phones, Facetime, AND quality missionary care. Oh how different the world looks now!

“It’s easier to turn a moving ship than one that’s just sitting there...” BJ & Jill Sanders, @frilljanks #reachwantakia Listen 🔈 as BJ, Jill, and I talk about following God, doing the hard thing, and saying the countercultural “yes” to spread the Gospel all the way to a tiny village in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea.

#37. To The Ends of The Earth with BJ and Jill Sanders

We have another AMAZING missionary story to share with you as we continue in our Missions series. It is completely Jesus that we were able to have BJ and Jill Sanders on the podcast. The Sanders are missionaries in a remote village in Papua New Guinea, and they only come back to the states every three years give or take. So we were extremely fortunate to be recording this series while they just happen to be on furlough right here in Northwest Arkansas. My sister and brother-in-law have actually known the Sanders for several years, but this was the first time I’ve really gotten to connect with them and hear their story.

“It’s brought such fruit now in discipleship where I can say, let me tell you a part of my story. And I know that Jesus is in that hole with you...” Rebekah Rheingans, @rebekahrheingans Listen 🔈 as Rebekah and I talk about what happens when we don’t go...God brings the nations to you.

#36. Bringing the Nations to Germany with Rebekah Rheingans

We are back with episode number two in our Missions series. Last episode we heard from Laura, a former missionary in Slovakia, who made the difficult yet necessary choice to come back to the states. And now I get to introduce you to Rebekah. It's sometimes said that "if you won’t go to the nations, God will bring them to you." Well that, folks, is what is happening all over the world, especially in Europe as millions of refugees have flooded in seeking a better life. And this is where Rebekah and her organization come in. Listen in as she tells us about all the aspects of her missionary life in Germany.

#35. To Slovakia & Back with Laura Troutman

I am very excited to start off our Missions Series with my friend Laura Troutman. Laura and I served together overseas with the same organization, though while I was in Ukraine she was in Slovakia. Laura is also a fellow single, southern gal from South Carolina. We bonded right away over giggling, not-paying attention at orientation, Grey’s Anatomy, and of course high kicks. Laura’s story is one of obedience in both becoming a missionary and also coming back to the States. This is her story of living that missionary life then coming back home and serving locally.

#34. Missions Series Kick Off!

Here we are, folks, starting our new series on MISSIONS! As you all know, I was a missionary for about 3 years in Ukraine, which was a bumpy yet glorious ride. In this series, I want to give a different perspective on that missionary life. I want to go beyond the email newsletter, and give you real stories from real people doing big things for Jesus.

“And what a waste...to be at a glorious place with people and laughter, and be focused on how your skin looks in a strap of fabric...” Jessica Looney, @nourishinglifebyjes & Brooke Rea @brookejrea bringing that wisdom!! 🔥 Listen 🔈 as Jes, Brooke, and I talk all things Summer! He’s shares her family’s Summer bucket list, hydration, skin care, and much more. Check out the show’s blog post on the website for links to everything we talk about in this episode.

#33. Nourishing Summer with Jessica Looney

AND WE’RE BACK! After taking a much-needed break, we are back to kick off the Summer with another Nourishing episode with Jessica Looney. Per the Fresh Prince, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and the meteorological calendar, it’s that Summer, Summer, Summer Time...Summer Time. Per usual, we’re having a good time with Jes talking about our summer go-to’s, as well as ways to nourish your body, mind, soul, and relationships. Listen in as we talk about both cannon-balls and belly-flops into this new season. What's on your Summer Bucket List? We'd love to hear all about what you and your family are doing to make this season great.

“I think that a lot of people who have been in Church say hospitality is not my gift...we all have it. Hospitality is basically just showing up for people.” Abby Turner, @atabletopaffair Listen 🔈 as Abby gives us A WORD about how we are ALL called to hospitality. We are all called to serve and love others well. And one way to do that is to bring people around the table.

#32. A Table Top Affair with Abby Turner

Y'ALL! It's our last episode of the Relationship Series! And, in my humble opinion, we’re going out with a bang. Today, we have the lovely Abby Turner on the podcast. Abby is the voice behind the blog and social media account “A Table Top Affair” AND author of “The Living Table - Recipes & Devotions for Everyday Get-Togethers.” She is a single lady, who is passionate about Biblical hospitality and the role we all play in bringing people together, no matter your relationship status. Abby walks us through her singleness journey and how she developed this love for hospitality. We take a deep dive into the significance of the table.

“Taking out and adding in...It prepares your heart in a really unique and special way.” Jessica Looney, @nourishinglifebyjes Listen 🔈 as Jes shares how her and her family changed their perspective on Lent and celebrating Easter. It’s not just about giving up (fill in the blank) for 40 days. So good! Check her out in episode 31 of the TFHK Podcast 🎙!! •Link to Website in Bio• Please rate, review, and follow the podcast!
