  • All Things Apologetics Series Part 2: Raising Christian Kids in a Culture That Hates Jesus with Ricky Arnel
    Oct 22 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of Her Renewed Strength–The Podcast! We are in week TWO of our All Things Apologetics Series and today’s episode features a conversation between myself and Ricky Arnel. We spoke about worldview formation, the different worldviews that are prominent in today’s culture, discipleship, and how to raise kids in the faith.

    Ricky was born and raised in Muskogee Oklahoma. He moved to South Florida right out of high school to pursue his education and follow Jesus with his newly committed faith. He eventually stepped onto staff at Christ Fellowship Church where he spent 10 years as a student pastor, he earned his bachelor's degree in ministry leadership and a masters degree in theological studies. He is married to Abriel and they have 2 young boys. Ricky currently serves as a board member of multiple ministries and is continuing to pursue his formal education in apologetics. You can learn more about him, read his blog, and contact him at rickyarnel.com

    If you’re a parent or person who has any influence on the younger generations, my hope is that you’re more informed about the different worldviews shaping the minds of young people today and encouraged to engage in the tough conversations with confidence, curiosity, and gentleness.

  • Cancer Survivor Series Part 4: How Breast Cancer Saved Her Life… Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Tanya Engesether
    Oct 8 2024

    Welcome back to the show and to our final episode in the Cancer Survivor Series. This episode is very special because, as you may know, October is officially breast cancer awareness month and I wanted to bring someone onto the show who has walked through the refining fire of breast cancer. So, I decided to bring on my friend, podcasting peer, and our sister in Christ, Tanya Engesether.

    Tanya is no stranger to the HRS Community! She was a guest speaker for 2023 RENEWED Conference. Her session was titled “From Bashful to Bold in Leadership: Making the Journey from Head to Heart” and it was extremely encouraging, especially for women in leadership roles. This is your friendly reminder to register, absolutely free! REgistering gets you 30 days of free access to all ten sessions, including my live session, titled, “Awaiting Eternity: Living in the Tension of the Already and Not Yet,” during which I’ll unpack the tension believers experience as sojourners in a world that isn't our home, how this affects our daily lives, and what we can do to navigate this tension in God-honoring ways. You’ll have access to that replay for 30 days, too! We start November 4th! Head to herrenewedstrength.com/conference for full speaker schedule and to get registered for free!

    In this conversation with Tanya, we actually went completely unscripted lol not even an outline, which is not common for me. Tanya shared how she found the mass, the road to getting diagnosed with breast cancer, what her treatment included, and how her life completely changed for the better. This was actually quite therapeutic, which Tanya mentions during our conversation. There were moments when we admitted things we hadn’t publicly said . . . or in some cases, ever said. Tanya also shared her advice for anyone who navigating a rough road.

    For those who don’t know Tanya, let me tell you a little about her.

    Guest’s bio: Tanya Engesether is a wife, mom, leader, Certified Christian Life Coach, podcaster, and breast cancer survivor.

    Tanya is a self-described, recovering, people-pleaser who spent most of her life and career trying to find worthiness through achievement. She spent decades pouring herself into her work, only to find herself feeling unfulfilled and burned out. It wasn’t until she truly claimed her identity in Christ and started to understand what it means to be a Child of God that she found freedom from approval seeking. God has shown her a new way of living and leading, in partnership with Him.

    Tanya is passionate about helping other women gain a heart-knowledge of who they are in Christ, become fueled by grace and find freedom from people-pleasing so that they can create more time for the things that matter most.

  • Cancer Survivor Series Part 2: 5 Things I Did During Chemo To Grow In My Faith & Reduce Physical & Spiritual Toxins
    Sep 24 2024

    Welcome back to the Cancer Survivor Series! We are in part two and today I will continue to share about my walk through cancer. I’ll focus on 2021 and the six-month period during which I went through chemotherapy. As you listen to the five things I did during chemo to grow in my faith, you’ll also notice this time was a concerted effort to reduce physical and spiritual toxins as I surrendered to the Lord during that time. This episode is meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive. I’m not on a mission to convert or convince anyone to navigate their health journeys in a particular way. I do think there’s value in sharing what the Lord did through my experience, so I pray this is a blessing to you! Let’s jump in!
