Spill the Beans LIVE with Margaret Feinberg at Fresh Grounded Faith Bloomington, IL [Episode 357]

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even tear up a little as we spill the beans LIVE from a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Bloomington, Illinois! My good friends Margaret Feinberg and Michael O’Brien joined me, and what an honest, hope-filled conversation we had in answering questions from the audience.

We talked about the best way to handle stress and worry, how to know if God is calling you to step back in ministry, and what to do when grief knocks the wind out of you.

Plus, Michael opens up about how his identity took a hit when he left the band, NewSong, and Margaret tells a hilarious (and slightly horrifying) story about showing up to an event without her pants. Yes, her pants!

Today, we’re answering your big questions, sharing our most embarrassing moments, and reminding you that God is present—even in the hard stuff.
