In this powerful episode of God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, author Jonathon Seidl joins Patricia for a raw and hope-filled conversation about his new book, Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic.

Welcome to God-sized Stories!
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Dodge—a passionate church leader, author, and missionary whose own journey to faith began as a university student right here in the Midwest. Together, we touch on his remarkable story of coming to Christ, his calling to reach students on campuses across the world, and the meaningful church planting work he’s been a part of, both here in the US and in the rural villages of Zambia.
We also dive deep into his brand new book, “Gospel 201,” the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling “Gospel 101.” Dr. Dodge shares powerful insights on why a true understanding of the Gospel begins with grasping the heart of God’s story from Genesis onward. We explore Jesus’ parable of the sower and the seed—how it challenges us not just to hear, but to really listen and allow God’s Word to take root in our lives in a way that bears fruit. We talk about the hurdles of a self-focused culture, the distractions in our day-to-day lives, and why approaching God with humility and a trembling heart is so important if we want to truly walk in our purpose.
And here’s something I’m excited to share with you: Dr. Dodge is giving away a free copy of “Gospel 201” to one of our listeners! If today’s conversation stirred your heart and you’re ready to take the next step in your faith journey—or you want a great resource for your Bible study group—make sure to enter for your chance to win.

Leadership is not for the faint of heart. I’ve felt it in my own life—moments of weariness, failure, and discouragement. And I know so many of you have, too.
That’s why I’m so excited to share this week’s episode with you.
I sat down with Dave Harvey, author of The Clay Pot Conspiracy: God’s Plan to Use Weakness in Leaders, to talk about how God uses our weakness—not our strength—to shape us for lasting impact.

His words are raw, gospel-rich, and full of encouragement for leaders in every season.
✨ If you feel weary in ministry, leadership, or even in your personal walk, I pray this episode lifts your heart and points you back to the God who shines brightest through our cracks.

In this powerful episode of God Sized Stories, I have the honor of welcoming Naomi R. Nussbaum, Executive Director of One Family Fund, an incredible organization devoted to supporting victims of terror and their families in Israel.
We dive deep into the personal and national heartbreaks experienced in the region—especially in light of recent events—and explore the unshakable resilience and hope that shape the Israeli people. Naomi shares not only her own story and connection to her Jewish heritage, but also the inspiring origins of One Family Fund and how their vital work has impacted countless lives over the past two decades.
You’ll hear details about the emotional, financial, and legal support they provide—all grounded in compassion and unity, caring for victims of all faiths. Naomi gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how One Family Fund mobilizes immediately after tragedy strikes, and how their healing programs help families long after the headlines fade.
This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that supporting Israel and standing against terror is a commitment to preserving humanity, faith, and hope—regardless of your background. We also talk about the importance of getting news from reliable sources, and the true spirit of coexistence and community in Israel so often overlooked in mainstream media.

As I prepared for this episode of God-Sized Stories, I couldn’t stop thinking about the long list of unlikely people God used throughout Scripture—murderers, prostitutes, adulterers, cowards. People whose résumés would never pass a background check today. And yet, these are the ones God chose to accomplish His most glorious work.
That same theme runs through the beautiful and raw testimony of my guest, Angie Howell, author of Jewel of Heaven: A Beautiful Story of Brokenness, Redemption, and the Power of a Biker’s Prayer. Angie’s story is one of unimaginable pain—a failing marriage, an unplanned pregnancy, and a daughter born with a fatal brain condition. Ready to give up on life, she has a chance encounter with a group of Christian bikers that would change everything. Through them, God brings a miracle that no doctor could explain.
If you've ever felt disqualified by your past, dismissed by others, or too broken for God to use—this interview is for you. Angie’s journey is a powerful reminder that God's grace reaches to the lowest valleys and brings beauty from the ashes.
I also wrote about her incredible story in my column for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I invite you to read it and share it with someone who may need hope today.

Welcome back, friends!
I'm Patricia Holbrook, your host of God-sized Stories, and I'm thrilled to share a special Christmas episode with you today. 🎄
As the sights and sounds of the season surround us with twinkling lights and joyful melodies, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound story at the heart of Christmas—the nativity scene.
In today's episode, we'll journey back to 1223 when Saint Francis of Assisi set up the very first nativity scene. We'll explore the history and evolution of these cherished displays and delve into the deeper meanings behind each figure, especially the wise men and their symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
As we gather around our own manger scenes, whether at home or in our towns, we'll uncover the timeless message they hold—a story of hope, love, and redemption.
Join me and let this visual reminder of the greatest gift ever given bring joy and peace to your heart this Christmas season.
Merry Christmas, my friends! 🎄✨
Tune in now we celebrate the true reason for this glorious season. 🎙️🌟

Welcome to another soul-stirring episode of God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In today’s episode, I have the privilege of speaking with DeAnna Lynn Sanders, an inspiring advocate who has spent years working with "She is Safe" to empower and give voice to unseen individuals globally.
DeAnna joined She is Safe in 2011 and has since traveled the world to document stories of resilience and hope from countries like Bolivia, Bangladesh, India, South Africa, and Indonesia. Her blog and now her new book, "Unseen People," encapsulate her journey in amplifying the voices of those often overlooked in society.
We delve into the societal issue of feeling unnoticed and undervalued, whether it's a waitress at a local diner or vulnerable young girls in Indonesia. DeAnna shares her personal anecdotes, including touching stories about connecting with service workers like Juan and Julie and forming meaningful relationships with neighbors.
We touch on the critical need to be present and aware of God's nudges to reach out and provide comfort, especially to those who might feel abandoned or unnoticed in their grief or daily struggles.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder of our calling to serve as ambassadors of God’s love, recognizing and valuing every individual we encounter both near and far.

With a heart for helping people, Mike is dedicated to creating spaces where honesty and vulnerability can lead to growth and transformation.
We delve deep into how the church can navigate difficult topics like politics, sexuality, and personal struggles with grace and truth.

Welcome to God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In this episode, we dive deep into the significance of work and its impact on our lives. Join me and our insightful guest, David Bahnsen, as we unpack the generational differences in attitudes towards work, the importance of finding purpose, and the significance of work in the Kingdom of God.
David Bahnsen shares thought-provoking insights about the societal and economic changes that have shaped the way different generations view work. We discuss the messaging around retirement and its potential link to post-retirement depression, drawing from personal experiences and biblical perspectives.
We also touch on the challenges individuals, especially women, face in balancing work and family. Our conversation sheds light on the immigrant perspective on work ethic and the need for society to recognize the inherent value of work in shaping our identities.
We challenge the notion of work as strictly "secular" or "ministry," emphasizing that all work can be an act of worship. David Bahnsen beautifully unpacks the Hebrew word "avodah" and its significance, redefining our understanding of work as an opportunity to glorify God.
This episode will inspire you to view your work as a calling and as a means to contribute to the flourishing of the Kingdom. Stay tuned for a heartwarming discussion that will challenge and inspire you. Don't miss out on this enriching conversation!

This week, I am excited to introduce you to an inspiring lady, Kerry Damiano, AKA Ms. World traveler. Many women get to their 60’s and 70’s and find themselves lost concerning their purpose in life. If they are married and have kids, the kids are usually grown and out of the house. Single women at that age are contemplating retirement, and often feel discouraged concerning what is next.
On that note, Kerry is an inspiration to all of us. Kerry is single and at an age where many women lose their zest for life. Not her. She is the creator, writer and host of her own web series/blog about travel, style and shopping. She has been to over 130 countries and all 50 states.
We'll dive deep into the profound impact of trusting in God, demonstrating unwavering faith through life's challenges, and embracing contentment in every season.

Welcome to God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, and this is our Thanksgiving edition.
In this episode, I want to share a message about developing a truly thankful heart, regardless of our circumstances. I'll take you back to a time when my children were small and we started a Thanksgiving tradition that brought us closer to God and each other.
But what happens when life throws trials and tribulations our way? How can we still find reasons to be thankful when times are tough? I'll share some examples from Scripture that inspire me and demonstrate true faith in the face of adversity.
And in a recent speaking engagement, I introduced the "Thanksgiving chair" concept to challenge my audience.
So this Thanksgiving season, I invite you to join me in creating your own "Thanksgiving chair" and reflect on the year's blessings and challenges. Whether your jar overflows with blessings or is filled with sorrows, may the One who works all things together for His children's good and for His glory fill you up with genuine gratitude.

Welcome to another exciting episode of God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Debbie W. Wilson, joining us to talk about her new book, Little Strength, Big God.
Debbie shares her incredible journey of faith and discovering a God greater than her Goliaths.
She opens up about her tendency to obsess over problems and her never-ending to-do list, often feeling the weight of having to fix and do everything. But she reminds us all of an important truth – God does not expect us to carry the burdens alone.
Drawing from Jesus's teachings, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective in our relationship with God. When we find ourselves emotionally uptight and not enjoying our fellowship with Him, we have lost sight of God's size.
One powerful concept that Debbie shares is the idea of being yoked to Jesus. As we work alongside Him, He carries the heavier burden, granting us rest in our souls. With this perspective, it is clear that our job is to simply trust and work with God rather than relying solely on our own strength and abilities.
Patricia also reflects on her writing career and the challenges she faced as English being her second language. Feeling inadequate and unworthy, she witnessed God do incredible things despite her weaknesses. She encourages us all that even with little strength, we serve a mighty God.
In this interview, Debbie shares her insights on topics such as the fear of God, overcoming injustice and ill treatment, and the power of obedience in cultivating a strong and vibrant faith.
Join us on this captivating journey as we discover together how to embrace the God-sized stories in our own lives. Stay tuned to God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, where we uncover inspiring tales of God's grace, strength, and mercy.

What is truth? Is there an absolute truth, or are you tempted to believe the truth is relative? You have your "truth," I have my truth, and we all can get along just fine.
A recent poll from Summit Ministries and McLaughlin and associates shows that America has reached a tipping point - about 55% of young American voters are saying that there is no absolute truth; rather, it is up to each individual to define their own version of truth.
My guest is the president of Ministries, Dr. Jeff Myers Myers. Dr. Myers has become one of America’s most respected authorities in youth development and apologetics.
In his new book, Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Myers challenges the idea that all hope to find Truth is lost in our culture. The book is filled with fascinating stories about Jesus' followers who lived for truth and transformed the world in times of crisis.
According to Dr. Myers, Truth Changes Everything asks the question: “What kind of world would unfold if smart, determined people lived as if Jesus really was the Truth?
