[Ep 112] A Conversation with Janell Wood: Loving Unbelieving Family Members

I'm wondering if you have a family member in your life—a parent, a son or daughter, a brother or sister—who doesn't know Christ.   If so, then you probably know the heaviness and grief that can bring to your spirit.   You wonder how you can witness to them. You pray for their salvation. You try to find ways to love them and show them you care.   But ultimately, you cannot make them accept Christ.   And that's hard.   This week, I want to let you listen in to a conversation I had with a friend of mine. Her name is Janell Wood and she is passionate about bringing others to know the Lord. And she has such a beautiful podcast dedicated to having honest and real conversations with those who are doubting the Christian faith or rejecting it all together.  It's called Finding Something Real, and I really encourage you to go follow her show, so that you can continue to let her not just speak truth into your life, but also listen to her model how to have some of these conversations well. This is a holy and tender conversation. Thanks for joining us. Kari   MEET JANELL: Janell has been a Christian for most of her life but has a deep passion for those who are struggling with faith. She's been through her own seasons of wondering, wandering, hurting, and doubting. With a Masters-level education in Counseling Psychology, a background in advocacy for women in crisis, and communication skills gained from 17 years of "'til death do us part," Janell has found just one who has the answers. His name is Jesus. True Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love belongs to Him. And she loves to share and talk about what's REAL with others, whether it's one-on-one with young women on her podcast, or when speaking for an audience.   CONNECT WITH JANELL: ·       Website ·       Say Hello ·       Free Resource: 7 Deep Questions   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 6: The Message That Ignited Love Does That  ______ >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 Ways to Encounter God on the Pages of Your Journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Journal Gently: An 8-week program designed to help you process grief and trauma with God http://lovedoesthat.org/journalgently >> Written Spiritual Direction: Recognize God's presence in your pain http://lovedoesthat.org/spiritualdirection
