We all have moments of doubt in our lives. Times when we feel God has abandoned us or that we are separated from God. So, is it okay to have these feelings, is it normal to have these thoughts?
Why me Lord? How can God be good if He let this happen to me? Why would a good God let that happen to someone else? Has God forsaken me? Am I under attack right now? Why am I struggling to believe in God right now?
Have you ever asked the question:
In this episode on the Strong By Design podcast, hosts Chris Wilson and Jared Haley talk about doubting our faith in God, what it looks like to experience feelings of unbelief, questioning God’s plan for our life and feeling like we are under attack.
"It's okay to question. It's okay to wrestle.... It's okay to have emotions with God that isn't just all lovey-dovey." — Jared HaleyThe Great Commission even mentions doubt…
Matthew 28: 16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.Time Stamps

In this episode, we delve into a transformative approach to weight loss and wellness with Brandice Lardner, the visionary behind Grace Filled Plate. As a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, Brandice offers a fresh perspective that goes beyond conventional dieting methods.
Brandice's philosophy is simple yet profound … she believes that there's more to life than endless cycles of restriction and guilt. Rooted in her faith, she champions the idea that God's grace extends to every aspect of our lives, including our relationship with food.
Throughout the conversation, Brandice shares practical insights and strategies to help listeners break free from the shackles of diet culture and embrace a healthier, more balanced approach to eating.

Denis Phillips' desire to be a television meteorologist began by seeing Santa on radar when he was 6 years old. It's true! Although, severe weather really hooked him. He is one of those crazies you'll see tied to a palm tree in a category 3 hurricane... doing a live shot... sideways.
After stops in Gainesville, Providence, and Los Angeles, Denis finally ended up in Tampa. He says the Bay area offers all the challenges weather-wise he could ever hope for: severe thunderstorms, tropical storms, and plenty of opportunities to tie himself to a palm tree! LOL
In this episode, Jared and Denis dive into their mutual interest of severe weather. Later in the episode, Denis opens up about the challenges that come from being a 24-7 weather man, and balancing that life with also being a husband and father of six children. Denis loves his community, and is always working hard to keep them prepared for whatever weather will come their way.

Hope is still very much alive!
Today’s special guest is the man behind the Seeds of Hope Children’s Ministry, John Chalkias (pronounced Chalk-Is). John might be one of the most inspiring men we’ve ever had on the SBD podcast which is a bold statement. His passion and love for children is truly remarkable. He and his wife Susan have 9 children of their own!
In 1996 Seeds of Hope Children’s Ministry™ opened the first home for HIV/AIDS children in Thailand. Since that time, they have been involved in bringing aid to children in several countries. Their biggest projects are in Ndola, Zambia. The Buseko Children’s Home is the first and currently the only Home in Zambia specifically for HIV/AIDS affected or infected children.
Seeds of Hope relies on the generous involvement from people like you, who are able to support the ministry through their gifts of time, money, prayer, or gifts in kind. Seeds of Hope Children’s Ministry exists to equip children and those in need to love and serve Jesus Christ while becoming healthy, educated, responsible members of society."I just want people to know that God's calling all of us... What happens if you answer those calls? Because we get them all the time. We just don't hear them." -John Chalkias

Are traditional Judeo-Christian values being striped away from American culture? It sure seems that way.
Even more to the point, does it feel like Jesus is being removed from our culture one school, one business and one person at a time?
Today on Strong By Design, hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson speak with Pastor Anthony McDaniel about some truly sobering topics. If you want real talk, you are getting it in massive doses in this episode!
Anthony believes that he must stand for what is right and true. He is known as the ‘Patriot Pastor’ on social media “engaging culture through the lens of scripture.” From the school board to abortion to divorce, Pastor Anthony is leading the fight to restore America’s Godly foundations."We have a rise in mega churches and large churches, and Christianity's in major decline." - Pastor Anthony McDaniel
