WHOA That's Good Podcast

Are you carrying around what's killing you? Pastor and author JP Pokluda tells Sadie it really can be that "simple" to take a step back and pinpoint what you're allowing to have control over you and how to take control back. But the good news is that owning those mistakes — those vulnerabilities — is a way to reclaim your own life, and when you can, share those struggles with others! Sadie has a good method for determining if you're oversharing on social media. JP encourages us to turn our struggles into our story and turn our messes into our messages. You're not alone in whatever it is that looms large in your life, whether in secret or not. Sadie and JP share how their anxieties physically manifested in each of their lives and how far they've come to be able to talk freely and encourage others. Plus, can some forms of anxiety actually be a product of pride? And JP has a new definition for "success": FAITHFULNESS. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you feeling a bit down? Is your world extra heavy right now? You need this encouraging conversation with Sadie and hip-hop artist and author KB. Y'all, he brings a WORD in this episode! KB reveals how he came to follow the Lord after someone loaned him a Christian hip-hop CD and why his new book is his prayer for recovery and revival in our world today. Just listen to how he speaks about the Lord and you'll feel a revived spirit! KB encourages us to have godly people around us REGULARLY and shares the best antidote for a heaviness of spirit. Plus, he recalls when his faith was truly put to the test on a dangerous mission trip and his "aha" moment that there is more joy in following Jesus into the scary place than there is staying cooped up in rebellion and disobedience. Sadie describes her trip to Somalia where her fear and anxiety hit its peak and how her faith being put to the test was the ultimate show of trust in God's mercy and grace. Since then, fear and anxiety haven't ruled her heart like they once did. If God is calling you to dangerous situations and dangerous faith, remember you serve a dangerous God!

When's the last time you seriously thought about the health of your brain? Sadie is excited to speak with Dr. Daniel Amen about all things related to the brain: how to conquer mental health struggles, how to stop the loop of toxic thoughts, and how not to feel like a slave to your brain — there are ways out! Think about this: Your brain is involved in EVERYTHING you do and EVERYTHING you are! Dr. Amen also has tips for parents who deal with feelings of guilt, but he cautions that parenting from a place of guilt is never the answer. Instead, a firm and loving stance is always the best course. Plus, Dr. Amen reveals how discovering your purpose can benefit many areas of your physical and mental well-being. Sadie shares about her own brain scan by Dr. Amen and encourages anyone feeling trapped by toxic thoughts that there ARE ways to stop them from taking control.

"Home was not safe." Author, evangelist, and president of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore joins Sadie to talk about some very traumatic events in her life, how lost and unsafe she felt at home with her dad as a young girl, and how God's love and grace transformed EVERYTHING for her. Beth reminds anyone who has been abused or experienced trauma: You did not ruin your life. You are NOT rotten! There is NOTHING that you can do — or have had done TO you — that would make you unworthy of God's love and grace. Sadie shares her own story of a situation where she suddenly felt paralyzed, full of fear, and unsure of what to do. Beth talks about how through prayer, counseling, and her relationship with God, her abuse no longer forms her decisions — and how breaking the cycle of trauma is possible for anyone! Plus, Sadie asks Beth about her very famous hairbrush story. And how do you know if you've had a "calling"?

Everyone talks about it, and yet it's not talked about enough! Sadie recalls the first time she learned about sex (after hearing the word "sexy" during an episode of SYTYCD!) and the many hours of follow-up questions she had for her mom, Korie. They discuss the beauty of sex, and they reject the lies in our culture that sex can be meaningless or destroy your purity. Sadie takes a closer look at all *those* analogies you might have heard in church, youth group, or even in Christian school. Wherever you are and whatever you've done in your past — or whatever has been done to you — Sadie and Korie encourage us that we are all made clean before God when we repent and trust in Him and accept His love and grace. God's design for sex is possible for ANYONE in a loving covenant marriage. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie couldn't wait to speak with her guest, pastor and author David Platt, after his incredible preaching at Passion. David encourages anyone in a relationship — romantic or otherwise — how to keep learning how to love the other person well. Sadie shares how her love languages have switched since she started dating Christian and encourages us to keep asking our person how we can love them best in this moment. Plus, it IS possible to have a potentially divisive conversation with other believers as long as the spirit of the discussion is humility, openness, and hearing each other. You can still agree to disagree, and actually mean it! As David reiterates, if it's not what UNITES us (Jesus, the authority of the Bible, the Gospel), then it shouldn't be what DIVIDES us. And what would happen if all believers were truly meditating on God's Word? Forget the excuses about why you can't memorize Scripture and start today!

Jimmy recounts one of the best stories of his "random" act of generosity, and Sadie talks about how his videos have inspired her and Christian to be more generous. Sadie encourages Jimmy that his heart for people — not just video views — is what makes what he's doing so engaging and powerful.
