It's hard to believe it's been 30 episodes. I started this podcast wanting to give people an avenue to share their stories of struggle and grace, but I wasn't sure what the reaction would be. It's been particularly challenging to share my own story because the vulnerability scares me; is it worth risking my comfort and is anyone even listening or reading? Now that it's the end of the first season, I felt it was appropriate to share how I've had to choose to live bravely even when I didn't feel like it. My friend Heather Bender from episode 7 interviewed me from our hotel room at the Hope*Writers Workshop and we shared thoughts on being vulnerable as a writer, the fears all creatives face, and some projects I've been working on. She's an ENFP and I'm an INFJ (for all you Meyers Briggs fans), but we magically make a great team. Becky's Answers To The Fun Questions: • What are you loving right now? Being at the Hope*Writers Workshop and having the space and time to dream • What's your favorite food at the moment? Cherry Oat Bars at Starbucks at East Coast Taco • What are you doing to take care of yourself? Making time for reading and waking up before the kids • What are you doing to be brave?

The disease sneaks up on you and your loved one, and it feels like you’ve been sucker-punched in the gut when you get the diagnosis from a doctor. So many things race through your mind: why us? What do we do? We worked so hard to get to this point in life. We just moved here after we both worked for 30 years, sold our house up North, and retired to Florida to enjoy our “golden years”. It’s not fair! Who’s going to take care of her/him? I don’t know a thing about this illness. She’s always done the cooking; I don’t even know how to boil water. He's always taken care of me and everything else, like Finances. I don’t even drive! And it goes on and on. Facing this disease will bring you to your knees. Once you get over the initial shock (GUT PUNCHED), the questions and fears take hold. Where do we turn for help? Who do I call? What do I do? How do you take care of someone with Alzheimer's? Are there support gr Unfinished People Brandon Zieske & Chad Ellenburg Welcome to the Unfinished People podcast. I'm Chad Ellenburg and my co-host is Brandon Zieske. We are both pastors who love and follow Jesus. And we are both very aware of how unfinished we are.Each week, we will talk about the struggle and the beauty of living and breathing in these unfinished vessels. The apostle Paul describes this as carrying around the Treasure of Jesus in mere "jars of clay." Don't we know it.At the coronation of Jesus on the cross, when he punched death in the mouth, he said "it is finished." So why doesn't it feel like it? If you connect with that sentiment, come have a listen. Thanks.
