No Matter What with Hanna Seymour

Ever hit a season so hard you couldn't even pray? Katie Kelley knows that place. Solo parenting six kids, one with severe autism, no words left except "Lord, have mercy."Katie's back on No Matter What a year after her first appearance, and her life looks completely different now. We talk about what actually gets you through when you can't pray a real prayer, how to look for light in a dark season, and why grace isn't soft, it's the grit that holds you up when you can't hold yourself up.

Morgan Krueger and I get into something I think about constantly: are you living like the hero of your story, or like a supporting character pointing to the real Hero? We talk about what it means to magnify Christ instead of ourselves, why holiness needs a total rebrand, and the prayer Morgan replaced "give me strength" with after writing her new book. This one gutted me in the best way.Connect with Morgan:Instagram: instagram.com/morganwkruegerhttps://www.instagram.com/thekingdom.people/Website: morgankrueger.comBOOK: Made to Magnify: https://amzn.to/4wVNLI1Connect with Me:Website: hannaseymour.comEmail: hello@hannaseymour.comInstagram: instagram.com/hannaeseymourBook: everydayspiritualhabits.com

We pray for the husband, the baby, the new job, the move, the increase. And then we actually get it. So why does the blessing sometimes start to feel like a burden? Melissa Miller joins me to talk about her new book, But I Prayed for This, and teaches me about "reward prediction error". We get into survival mode, change fatigue, and how to tell "hard" that's from God versus "hard" that means we took a wrong turn.

I've been a little obsessed with heaven lately, so I sat down with the perfect person to talk about it. Jennifer Rothschild has been blind since she was 15, and earlier this year she released a Bible study on heaven with a devotional coming this September. We talk about her story, the anger and joy that somehow existed at the same time as a teenager, the biggest misconceptions about heaven she's trying to correct, and what it looks like to grieve with hope. Her Bible study, Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight, is out now, and her devotional, Heaven for Today, releases September 8, you can pre-order it today.Connect with Jennifer:Heaven Bible study: https://amzn.to/4gYVpwdHeaven for Today devotional (pre-order, releases 9/8): https://amzn.to/3TMLgclWebsite: jenniferrothschild.comInstagram: instagram.com/jennrothschildPodcast: 413podcast.comConnect with me ◡̈ Website: https://hannaseymour.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/hannaeseymourEveryday Spiritual Habits: https://everydayspiritualhabits.comThe College Girl's Survival Guide: https://hannaseymour.com
