It's Tuesdays with Tata!Hard to believe, but this is episode #87 in the Tuesdays with Tata series. Today, Tata walks us through the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and 7 in the Old Testament. It's a familiar story, but it's so easy to miss some huge lessons. We talk about how Gideon believed a story about himself ("I'm the weakest member of the weakest clan of the weakest tribe in my weak country"), but that God had a very different belief about Gideon. We'll see how Gideon had to go all-in to believe God, change his mind about limiting beliefs, be willing to even go up against his own father, and in the end, step into his real calling and identity. If you feel stuck, weak, or believe things about yourself that are different than the truth of God made you to be, this episode will encourage you.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the show wherever you listen!

What Do Grief, Loss, Hope, and Faith Have to Do With Quantum Physics? (Adapted from Season 1, Episode 7 for Throwback Thursday) Life is uncertain. You can observe that in the real world, and you will. But it takes a quantum view to really see what’s happening down deep. And it’s beautiful, and terrifying, and hard to understand but it explains everything. Losing my son was awful and horrifying and never stops hurting. But my work that was birthed from that pain has saved lives. And your pain can be redeemed too. Your life still has meaning and purpose despite painful circumstances. Because of superposition, because it doesn’t just spin one way, it can be more than one thing at the same time. Thank God, or it would be unbearable. Start learning to see the physics of your own life, friend. That’s where you’ll find the hope you need. That’s how you’ll be able to start today.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the show wherever you listen!

An Inspiring Story of Overcoming Moral Injury The Covid pandemic of 2020 caused all of us problems, and cost many people their lives. We are still counting the costs as a society, and there are innumerable questions about the different ways the disease AND our individual and governmental responses to it that may never be fully answered. But one thing is certain: healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, medics, chaplains, and many others) paid a high price, often with their personal safety and emotional health on the line as well. Today on Everyday Hope I’m joined by an incredible young man whose career as a critical care nurse in Indiana was just getting started in 2020, when he found himself thrust into the heart of a global pandemic. The ways in which it affected his emotional and spiritual health, and how he found his way back to hope and faith again are inspiring, and will help you when you face your Massive Thing. Meet Hayden Vroegop, a flight and critical care nurse, who has lived a great example of implementing the treatment plan of self-brain surgery when life gets hard.
