Micah Brenner is an executive coach & an illustrator. So you could say it’s not “vocational ministry”…but who cares? Micah is thoughtful, intentional & tactful in how he shares the Gospel with people no matter what his day job looks like. And he makes it simple & replicable for others to do that too.

In this episode, we talk about:

- how to stop overthinking sharing the Gospel with people in your life

- how to avoid the ol' bait and switch

- how to change your language so that it is truthful and digestible for your specific audience

Danielle Hanlon was brought back on the show for a 2nd time because we weren't going to just leave you hanging! Our 1st episode was all about how to START dating. Now, we're talking about:

- When do I share with my boyfriend about my struggles with porn and masturbation?

- When do I share about my past sexual sin?

- When do I bring up the mental illness I struggle with?

- Around what time frame is it normal to say "I love you"?

- How fast is too fast? Is there such a thing as "too fast"?

- If my boyfriend tells me he has already had sex in previous relationships, should I be concerned?

- How do I start viewing my boyfriend more romantically if we've been platonic friends for a long time beforehand?

MacKenzie Ryder has been set free from self-hatred. As she was discipled throughout high school, she knew in her head that God loved her, but the thoughts she would daily think about herself did not match up with His Truth and His feelings for her. In the process of getting to know God on a deeper level, she realized how badly her thoughts needed to change.

We talk about:

- What is the difference between self-hatred and self-discipline?

- Is self-love Biblical?

- What is the difference between positive affirmations and believing the Truth about yourself? Is there a difference at all?

- How can you overcome self-hatred when it's all you've ever known?

Is one of your 2024 goals to SLOW DOWN? Get 10% off Maryellen’s new book, Slowliloquies, with the code HEADTOHEART10 here:

https://www.maryellenhacko.com.au/slowliloquies 

How do you know if a goal/dream is from God or from yourself? If it is "from yourself", does that mean it's inherently bad?

Maryellen Hacko joined me for a 2nd time on the podcast - she is a BRAVE soul because we tackled such a complicated & layered topic! So many of us overthink our dreams to death because we're so afraid it's not "from God". We may chalk it up to being a selfish desire and give up. We talked about how to discern your desires, where they come from, and which ones to go after.
