What if we could keep a God's-eye view of our lives — that no matter how scary or painful a situation might be, coming up ahead of us is a break and some peace? Sadie's guest, Katie Davis Majors, was reminded of this truth in a particularly harrowing experience she had while swimming in the Nile River. Katie was 18 when she first traveled to Uganda for a mission trip, and she ended up staying for many years, starting a charity, meeting her husband, and adopting 13 girls! Katie and her family — including 2 boys now! — just recently moved back to the United States, a decision that wasn't easy and one that Katie didn't initially understand. Katie encourages anyone wondering what they're going to do with their life that God is way more concerned with who you'll BE than what you'll DO. Start focusing on who God's called you to be! And don't discount the experiences you're having right now, wherever you are in your life — you have no idea what God is preparing you for! Sadie and Katie talk about the importance of sisterhood and how, whether they're biological, adopted, or even best friends, the blessings of sisters are an amazing picture of God's love for us. Katie's book "Safe All Along" is available for preorder now.  https://www.reliefband.com — Get 20% off plus FREE shipping with code WHOA! https://liberty.edu/Sadie — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today! https://www.homechef.com/whoa — Get 75% off your first box! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Gracie Tucker was Sadie's housemate for a while, and y'all, they ate SO much watermelon and played so much basketball during that season as they became great friends. Gracie's life has been full of adventures, MANY jobs (she compares herself to Kirk from "Gilmore Girls") including recently writing a country song and opening a very popular milkshake bar in Franklin, TN, but only recently has her current single state been something she's thought about more. She even got herself into a bit of a funk for a time. Gracie says the enemy takes easy jabs, especially at anyone in a waiting season, with lies of "you'll never be loved" or "this will never happen," but isn't that in direct contradiction to what God has promised? Gracie shares about her modeling career and what finally made her walk away to start new adventures. Sadie asks Gracie about her bucket list and encourages us to keep a list of things we're working toward, regardless of what season you're in. Try new things! Meet new people! And for anyone currently in a season of waiting, take heart and remember: God has NEVER been late for anyone, so why would He start with you?  https://give.cru.org/whoa or text WHOA to 71326 — Get a free copy of Sadie's book "Live on Purpose" with your gift!

Are you carrying around what's killing you? Pastor and author JP Pokluda tells Sadie it really can be that "simple" to take a step back and pinpoint what you're allowing to have control over you and how to take control back. But the good news is that owning those mistakes — those vulnerabilities — is a way to reclaim your own life, and when you can, share those struggles with others! Sadie has a good method for determining if you're oversharing on social media. JP encourages us to turn our struggles into our story and turn our messes into our messages. You're not alone in whatever it is that looms large in your life, whether in secret or not. Sadie and JP share how their anxieties physically manifested in each of their lives and how far they've come to be able to talk freely and encourage others. Plus, can some forms of anxiety actually be a product of pride? And JP has a new definition for "success": FAITHFULNESS.  https://athleticgreens.com/whoa — Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D & 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase! https://www.trymiracle.com/whoa — Get 40% off + 3 FREE towels with code WHOA at checkout! https://nativedeo.com/whoa — Get 20% OFF your first order with code WHOA! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you feeling a bit down? Is your world extra heavy right now? You need this encouraging conversation with Sadie and hip-hop artist and author KB. Y'all, he brings a WORD in this episode! KB reveals how he came to follow the Lord after someone loaned him a Christian hip-hop CD and why his new book is his prayer for recovery and revival in our world today. Just listen to how he speaks about the Lord and you'll feel a revived spirit! KB encourages us to have godly people around us REGULARLY and shares the best antidote for a heaviness of spirit. Plus, he recalls when his faith was truly put to the test on a dangerous mission trip and his "aha" moment that there is more joy in following Jesus into the scary place than there is staying cooped up in rebellion and disobedience. Sadie describes her trip to Somalia where her fear and anxiety hit its peak and how her faith being put to the test was the ultimate show of trust in God's mercy and grace. Since then, fear and anxiety haven't ruled her heart like they once did. If God is calling you to dangerous situations and dangerous faith, remember you serve a dangerous God! KB's book, "Dangerous Jesus," is available now. https://helixsleep.com/sadie — Get up to 20% OFF AND 2 free pillows! https://give.cru.org/whoa or text WHOA to 71326 — Get a free copy of Sadie's book "Live on Purpose" with your gift!

When's the last time you seriously thought about the health of your brain? Sadie is excited to speak with Dr. Daniel Amen about all things related to the brain: how to conquer mental health struggles, how to stop the loop of toxic thoughts, and how not to feel like a slave to your brain — there are ways out! Think about this: Your brain is involved in EVERYTHING you do and EVERYTHING you are! Dr. Amen also has tips for parents who deal with feelings of guilt, but he cautions that parenting from a place of guilt is never the answer. Instead, a firm and loving stance is always the best course. Plus, Dr. Amen reveals how discovering your purpose can benefit many areas of your physical and mental well-being. Sadie shares about her own brain scan by Dr. Amen and encourages anyone feeling trapped by toxic thoughts that there ARE ways to stop them from taking control.

"Home was not safe." Author, evangelist, and president of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore joins Sadie to talk about some very traumatic events in her life, how lost and unsafe she felt at home with her dad as a young girl, and how God's love and grace transformed EVERYTHING for her. Beth reminds anyone who has been abused or experienced trauma: You did not ruin your life. You are NOT rotten! There is NOTHING that you can do — or have had done TO you — that would make you unworthy of God's love and grace. Sadie shares her own story of a situation where she suddenly felt paralyzed, full of fear, and unsure of what to do. Beth talks about how through prayer, counseling, and her relationship with God, her abuse no longer forms her decisions — and how breaking the cycle of trauma is possible for anyone! Plus, Sadie asks Beth about her very famous hairbrush story. And how do you know if you've had a "calling"? Beth's book, "All My Knotted-Up Life," is available now! https://LOSisterConference.com - Get tickets for the 2023 LO Sister Conference, Sept. 8-9 in Monroe, LA https://ouraring.com/WHOA – Get $15 off your purchase right now! https://liberty.edu/Sadie — get your application fee WAIVED if you decide Liberty is the place for you! https://athleticgreens.com/whoa — Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D & 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone talks about it, and yet it's not talked about enough! Sadie recalls the first time she learned about sex (after hearing the word "sexy" during an episode of SYTYCD!) and the many hours of follow-up questions she had for her mom, Korie. They discuss the beauty of sex, and they reject the lies in our culture that sex can be meaningless or destroy your purity. Sadie takes a closer look at all *those* analogies you might have heard in church, youth group, or even in Christian school. Wherever you are and whatever you've done in your past — or whatever has been done to you — Sadie and Korie encourage us that we are all made clean before God when we repent and trust in Him and accept His love and grace. God's design for sex is possible for ANYONE in a loving covenant marriage.  https://www.trymiracle.com/whoa — Get 40% off + 3 FREE towels with code WHOA at checkout!

Sadie couldn't wait to speak with her guest, pastor and author David Platt, after his incredible preaching at Passion. David encourages anyone in a relationship — romantic or otherwise — how to keep learning how to love the other person well. Sadie shares how her love languages have switched since she started dating Christian and encourages us to keep asking our person how we can love them best in this moment. Plus, it IS possible to have a potentially divisive conversation with other believers as long as the spirit of the discussion is humility, openness, and hearing each other. You can still agree to disagree, and actually mean it! As David reiterates, if it's not what UNITES us (Jesus, the authority of the Bible, the Gospel), then it shouldn't be what DIVIDES us. And what would happen if all believers were truly meditating on God's Word? Forget the excuses about why you can't memorize Scripture and start today!

Holy buckets, y'all are going to love this conversation! Jimmy Darts is a self-described "CRAZY PERSON." He's full of joy, well-known for his generosity with strangers, and he loves Jesus so much. Sadie and Jimmy talk about the true test of integrity and how one of the best compliments they receive is that they're the same in their videos as in real life. Jimmy recounts one of the best stories of his "random" act of generosity, and Sadie talks about how his videos have inspired her and Christian to be more generous. Sadie encourages Jimmy that his heart for people — not just video views — is what makes what he's doing so engaging and powerful. Plus, Jimmy reveals the moment he gave his life to the Lord, why he feels complete freedom in following Christ, and how that informs all of his interactions with strangers when he's looking to be generous.

Anna Miriam Brown is a singer-songwriter — and one of 15 children in her family. She joins Sadie to talk about writing a musical when she was just 16 years old and what it's like preparing for the "His Story: The Musical" premiere with a full Broadway cast! Sadie and Anna discover many similarities in their stories, including how they overcame dyslexia and how they both surrendered to God, asking Him to use them mightily — when He did, it wasn't the way they thought it would be at all! Sadie also encourages us to work in the waiting. Even if we've surrendered to God and asked Him to use us, we still need to be busy while we wait for His guidance!

Sadie loves her new friends Jason and Lauren Scruggs Kennedy, who are nothing if not REAL. As a couple, they are so much fun! Not only do they have a great story of how they started dating, but they keep each other laughing every day, through the good times and bad. Lauren opens up about the devastating accident where she lost her arm and eye and how God has redeemed, healed, and made beautiful what she was so scared to show the world. She shares a particularly vulnerable moment she had with Jason when they were dating, and, well, you'll need some tissues! Lauren and Sadie talk about facing their fears when it comes to outward beauty, encouraging us to live OUT those fears and then be amazed at how much more freedom you'll experience on the other side. Plus, Jason has the secret for not caring what other people think of you. And Lauren wants every girl to wait for a man who will intentionally pursue her — what a difference it makes! And they all agree: Do NOT rush the process!   https://nativedeo.com/whoa — Get 20% OFF your first order with code WHOA! https://liberty.edu/Sadie — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today! https://www.trymiracle.com/whoa — Get 40% off + 3 FREE towels with code WHOA at checkout! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Korie is back to share a TON of advice on all the things — whether it's starting college and you don't vibe with your roommate yet (or at all), being broke with no plan as a married couple, finding yourself suddenly single, and the blessings of hospitality, not just for those who attend, but for the host too! Sadie shares a story about her childhood and encourages us to not be too quick to complain about not feeling settled or having community if you're not taking the time to plant roots — you'll never get the tree unless you stay and nourish the ground! Plus, how are you stewarding your friendships, even as seasons change? Sadie reiterates that not every friend in your life will be your best friend, but that doesn't mean they can't be good friends!

Are you ready to change your life? Sadie's guest, author Ann Voskamp, says we should start practicing gratitude. You can't be fearful and grateful at the same time! You are not alone in your hard story! Ann shares how she came to be the first Christian in her family, how she met her husband, and how her blog with about 800 subscribers paved the way for her to then write the bestselling book "One Thousand Gifts." Ann encourages us that if we're TRULY looking for transforming change in our lives, we need to look to the cross, NOT self-help books! Sadie reminds us that God doesn't need us to position ourselves in such a way that He can use us — He can do it without us! Not sure of where to start? Ann's advice: Do what you love, where you are, and see what can happen! Plus, what is "cruciformation?" And Ann tells her family's story as an encouragement for any parents considering adoption.

Nick Vujicic, known as the man without limbs, is living proof that God can use a man born without arms and legs to be His hands & feet in the world. Sadie and Nick talk about staying humble and how an attitude of gratitude is one of the best ways to pull yourself out of a dark, even depressed season. Nick shares his struggles with depression and loneliness and how being bullied when he was a kid led to believing the lie that he should take his own life. Thankfully, he wasn't successful and his mission now through his organization, Life Without Limbs, is to share the Gospel with as many people as possible. The next time you want to tap out because it's too hard, start counting your blessings, naming them one by one, and remember that Christ didn't call us to an easy life, but to love God, love others, and share the good news to everyone!  https://ouraring.com/WHOA – Get $15 off your purchase right now! https://www.athleticgreens.com/whoa — Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D & 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase! https://give.cru.org/purpose or text PURPOSE to 71326 — Get a free copy of Sadie's book "Live on Purpose" with your gift! - Learn more about your ad choices.
