When Faith Feels Like Duty: How to Awaken Delight in God Again with Stephanie Rousselle (S3E26)
Does your faith feel more like duty than delight? If your relationship with God has started to feel distant, exhausting, or like one more thing on your to-do list — this conversation is for you. Stephanie Roussel, author of Awaken Delight and founder of Gospel Spice Ministries, joins Dr. Tanya Paynter to talk about what happens when delight in God goes missing — and how to get it back. A former French atheist who came to faith through an American family on fire for God, Stephanie writes for the weary Christian who is doing all the right things and still hitting the pillow at night wondering, is this all there is? Together they explore chronic pain as unexpected grace, the difference between learning about God and actually spending time with Him, why busyness and anxiety are counterfeits of true delight, and three practical steps to awaken delight in God — starting with a prayer even the most exhausted Christian can pray. If you've lost the centrality of Jesus in the middle of a full life, this episode offers a grace-filled, theologically grounded way back.

When Evangelism Feels Like a Dirty Word: The Psychology of Sharing Your Faith with Dr. Mark Teasdale (S3E25)
Why does sharing your faith feel more like shame than joy? For many Christians, evangelism carries anxiety, guilt, and pressure — often rooted in bad training, not bad faith. Dr. Mark Teasdale, President of United Theological Seminary and author of Socially Awkward Evangelism, joins Dr. Tanya Paynter to unpack the psychology behind why sharing your faith feels so hard — and what a more biblical, grace-filled approach actually looks like. They explore social anxiety, fear of judgment, body awareness, persuasion without manipulation, and why the Holy Spirit — not you — is the one doing the converting. If you've ever hidden behind a more extroverted Christian, felt ashamed for staying silent, or wondered if evangelism just isn't your gift — this conversation was made for you.
