   Sleeping with a Machete: Faith Over Fear

   Tina Ferry and her husband felt called to leave the suburbs and go raise their daughters under a tin roof in the Amazon as missionaries. Yet she would also say that the hardest step of obedience she ever faced was coming home. She and hosts Erin and Stacy explore what unresolved fears look like even when you are walking with God — and what it looks like to stop treating Jesus like a solution and start treating him like a friend. If you've ever used your kids, your circumstances, or your own history as a justifiable reason to say no, this one is worth the full listen. 👉 Subscribe so you don't miss any episodes. 👉 Listen now and be encouraged to trust God as we navigate the calm and the storms that life brings. 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Check us out on YouTube As always, shoot us your questions at women@missionhills.org (mailto:women@missionhills.org) and enjoy today's episode. ============================= Anchor + Waves: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Erin Marken, Stacy Ludwig 🎉 SPECIAL GUESTS:: Tina Ferry 🎥 VIDEO + SEO DIRECTORS:: Zac Anderson, Colin McFarland 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

   Homeless + Immigrants: Assumptions in the Church

   This month on Anchor + Waves, Jacque and Stacy welcome Micah Harrison from the Mission Hills Life Center for a conversation about the assumptions we often have about our homeless and immigrant population. Together, they unpack the way fear, busyness, and basic misunderstanding can keep us from truly seeing people as human beings made in the image of God. Through honest stories and practical insight, Micah shares what he’s learned from walking alongside people experiencing homelessness and immigrant families navigating life in a new culture, including his own experience returning from years in Indonesia. The conversation is eye-opening, compassionate, and full of simple ways we can slow down, build relationships, and love people more intentionally. If you’ve ever wondered how to practically move beyond empathy into meaningful connection, this episode is for you. 👉 Subscribe so you don't miss any episodes. 👉 Listen now and be encouraged to trust God as we navigate the calm and the storms that life brings. 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Check us out on YouTube As always, shoot us your questions at women@missionhills.org (mailto:women@missionhills.org) and enjoy today's episode. ============================= Anchor + Waves: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Jacque Carlson, Stacy Ludwig 🎉 SPECIAL GUESTS:: Micah Harrison 🎥 VIDEO + SEO DIRECTORS:: Zac Anderson, Colin McFarland 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
