Out of the Wilderness: Sophie Cunningham, Kelcey Mitchell and the return of the Indiana Fever (Revisited)
<p>This episode continues our Thriving in the Wilderness Series by asking what do we learn in the wilderness and how do we carry it forward as we move into a restored life. To do so, we revisit episode #10, originally aired in October 2025, that told the story of the Indiana Fever navigating injuries, loss, and constant change.</p><p>With a renewed perspective, as the Indiana Fever returns for the 2026 WNBA basketball season, this episode asks us to consider what we are learning during times of wilderness and do we use the values that emerge to sustain us as we move forward in life. Sophie Cunningham expressed these values in an interview with ESPN, "I am so grateful. I know I'm coming off a pretty big knee injury, and so it was never about the money. It was just about the years, because I wanted to be with them. God forbid, a girl loves her teammates." <a href="https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/48551640/fever-sophie-cunningham-grateful-return-fever">https://www.espn_sophie-cunningham-grateful-return-fever</a></p><p><strong>Key Themes</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Support, Trust, and Community</strong>: Building genuine connection in the face of chaos</li><li><strong>Belief in the Transcendent</strong>: The power of "we all we got, we all we need"</li><li><strong>Meaning and Purpose</strong>: Feeling valued and valuable in community</li><li><strong>Adaptability and Flexibility</strong>: Bending without breaking when circumstances change</li><li><strong>Future Orientation</strong>: Keep the main thing, the main thing.</li></ul><p><strong>About the Indiana Fever's 2025 Season</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/Uv0yl7JspRY">“My Love Letter” to the Fever, Ariel Powers</a></li><li><a href="https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/46446078/wnba-playoffs-2025-indiana-fever-injuries-caitlin-clark-semifinal-run">Inside the Indiana Fever's roller-coaster 2025 WNBA season - ESPN</a></li><li><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/08/17/indiana-fever-injuries-adversity-caitlin-clark/">Indiana Fever, without Caitlin Clark and others, remains resilient - The Washington Post</a></li><li><a href="https://www.swishappeal.com/wnba/62529/wnba-indiana-fever-kelsey-mitchell-stephanie-white-aliyah-boston-caitlin-clark-odyssey-sims">The Fever are surviving the injury bug thanks to resilience and a whole lot of Kelsey Mitchell - Swish Appeal</a></li><li><a href="https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/45927938/wnba-2025-indiana-fever-injuries-caitlin-clark-sydney-colson-aari-mcdonald">How the Indiana Fever adjust to season-ending injuries - ESPN</a></li></ul><p><strong>About the Host</strong></p><p><strong>Ellen Corcella</strong> is an ordained minister with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the author of Walk with Me: A Journey through the Landscape of Trauma.

Pastor Tara L. Eastman — Finding God in Ordinary Moments, Thin Spaces and the Wisdom of Julian of Norwich
<p>Where do we encounter God—in extraordinary mountaintop moments, or in the quiet rhythms of everyday life?</p><p>In this episode of the Faith & Resilience Podcast, Rev. Ellen Corcella welcomes Pastor Tara Eastman for a thoughtful conversation about resilience rooted in faith, creativity, and community. </p><p>Tara shares her evolving understanding of <strong>theopoetics</strong>—a creative engagement with God through poetry, art, contemplation, and community. Drawing on the wisdom of <strong>Julian of Norwich</strong>, she reflects on the famous vision of the hazelnut, a reminder that all creation exists because God made it, loves it, and keeps it.</p><p>Through practices such as Lectio Divina and Visio Divina, Tara invites us to discover “thin spaces,” those moments when the sacred feels especially close. She reads her poem “Thin Space Day,” which finds holiness in ordinary routines—carpool lines, lunchtime walks, coffee breaks, and daily commutes.</p><p>As the season of Lent reminds us that faith often unfolds in wilderness spaces, this conversation offers this hopeful reminder: God’s presence even in the most ordinary moments of our day.</p><p><br><strong>About Our Guest: Pastor Tara Eastman</strong></p><p>Pastor Tara Eastman is a pastor, podcaster and practitioner of Holy Shenanigans. In her podcast, Pastor Eastman shares stories that surprise, encourage, and sometimes even turn life upside down – all in the name of love, as she takes listeners on a journey of unforgettable spiritual adventure that is always sacred but never stuffy. </p><p>Through practices like Lectio Divina, Visio Divina, and creative expression, Tara encourages people to notice the sacred in everyday life and to recognize the “thin spaces” where God’s presence feels especially near.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Pastor Tara Eastman</strong></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-eastman-814354228/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BrQQfmIkKSge4KYWYwU2r8Q%3D%3D"><strong>linkedin.com/in/tara-eastman-814354228</strong></a><br> Holy Shenanigans Podcast: <a href="https://holyshenanigans.buzzsprout.com/1347916">https://holyshenanigans.buzzsprout.com/1347916</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resilience Series Episodes</strong></p><p>Episode #13 – Resilience: Your Path Through the Wilderness<br><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/1643fd5a">https://share.transistor.fm/s/1643fd5a</a></p><p>Episode #14 – Dr. Natalie Hamrick: How Faith Transforms Our Response to Stress and Illness<br><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/1643fd5a">https://share.transistor.fm/s/1643fd5a</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Ellen Corcella</strong></p><p>Ellen Corcella is an ordained minister with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), author of Walk with Me: A Journey Through the Landscape of Trauma, and host of the Faith & Resilience Podcast, which explores paths toward healing and hope while examining the sacred values that anchor us through life's challenges.</p><p><strong>Connect with Ellen:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.ellencorcella.com/">www.ellencorcella.com</a></p><p>Newsletter: Sign up at <a href="http://www.ellencorcella.com/">www.ellencorcella.com</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:Chaplain_Ellen@ellencorcella.com">Chaplain_Ellen@ellencorcella.com</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ellencorcella">www.linkedin.com/in/ellencorcella</a></p><p>Trauma Informed Resources: <a href="http://www.ellencorcella.com/help-ptsd-grief-trauma-suicide">www.ellencorcella.com/help-ptsd-grief-trauma-suicide</a></p><p>Ellen's Book: Walk with Me: A Journey through the Landscape of Trauma</p><p>Amazon: <a href="store.bookbaby.com/book/walk-with-me2">store.bookbaby.com/book/walk-with-me2</a></p><p>BookBaby: <a href="store.bookbaby.com/book/walk-with-me2">store.bookbaby.com/book/walk-with-me2</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support the Podcast:<br></strong><br></p><p>If you found this episode helpful, please:</p><p>⭐ Rate the podcast on your listening platform</p><p>👍 Like and Subscribe to never miss an episode</p><p>📢 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it</p><p>💬 Leave a review to help others discover Faith & Resilience</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by: Loren Richmond, Jr. Resonate Media Production<br>Copyright: Faith & Resilience Podcast</p><p><strong>Until next time, may you find resilience in the struggle, and faith in the serving</strong>.</p>
