Sometimes we forget that God knows his way around the dark.
Our bodies fail us. A friend betrays us. An employer lets us go.
One of my friends, who literally battles with literal darkness every day, is my friend Jennifer Rothchild. Yet with I’m with her, she shines so bright. Her joy, strength, and grace are contagious. She’s one of my favorite people. And when she talks about finding God in the darkness. Well, scooch in. It’s powerful.
I don’t know what darkness you’re facing, but this conversation will help you poke holes in the darkness until it bleeds light.

Because it will change yours, too.

Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken Perfection
In the base of a large crock-pot, whisk together the BBQ sauce, Italian salad dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Trim excess fat off chicken breasts. Place meat in the crock-pot. Stir to coat with the sauce.
Cook on the high setting for 3 – 4 hours or on the low setting for 6 – 8 hours.
Just before serving, take a large spoon and shred the chicken. It will fall apart on its own when stirred around. Mix to coat well with the sauce.
It is done when the chicken separates easily.

If you look at the Amazon reviews, one of the most common words is “love”.

RECIPES FROM THE SHOW
Porcupine Meatballs
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or small fresh basil leaves for serving (optional)
- In a medium bowl, combine half of the onion, half the garlic, the ground beef, rice, salt, and pepper and mix with your hands until the rice is evenly distributed throughout the meat; don’t worry about over-mixing. Shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs, each slightly larger than a golf ball.
- Select the saute setting on the Instant Pot and heat olive oil for 1 minute. Add the remaining onion and remaining garlic and saute for about five minutes, until the onion is softened. Stir in the tomato sauce, water, and Worcestershire and bring to a simmer. Place meatballs in a single layer in the pot and spoon a little sauce over each one.
- Secure the lid and set Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select Pressure Cook or Manual setting and set the cooking time for 15 minutes at high pressure. (The pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure before the cooking program begins.)
- When the cooking program ends, you can either perform a quick pressure release by moving the Pressure Release to Venting, or you can let the pressure release naturally and leave the pot on the Keep Warm Setting for up to 10 hours.
- Serve the meatballs with the sauce spooned on top. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Many of us have experienced the table as a place of inclusion, but all of us know the table can be a place of exclusion. Sometimes, even when surrounded by others, we can feel so alone, so cut off, so rejected.
Yet time and time again throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus going to wild lengths to create tables of inclusivity. You see, inclusivity makes the table a place of joy and helps us taste and see God’s goodness.
That’s why I’m so excited for you to meet my friend, Kathy Khang, author of Raise Your Voice. She’s a gifted writer, speaker, thinker, and bridge builder.
She challenges us to expand the settings in our hearts and at our tables to throw the kind of dinner parties that Jesus would—creating places of inclusivity and hospitality where anyone can feel welcome.
So pull up a seat at our table—where all are welcome. You don’t want to miss this.

RECIPES FROM THE SHOW
Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken
The Barefoot Contessa
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup good olive oil
2 lemons, halved and sliced ¼ inch thick
1 sliced yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 (4-5 pound) chicken, backbone removed and butterflied
½ cup drinkable dry white wine
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Combine the thyme, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor and process until ground. Combine mixture and oil into a cup.
Place half the lemon slices in a cast-iron skillet. Add onion and garlic. Lay the chicken, skin side down, on top of the onion. Brush with half of the oil-spice mixture. Flip the chicken skin side up and pat it dry with paper towels. Then brush with the rest of the oil and herb mixture.
Roast the chicken for 30 minutes. Pour the wine into the pan (not on the chicken) and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle it with the lemon juice from remaining lemon slices, cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 1o minutes. Cut the chicken into quarters or eighths, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices, cooked lemon, and onion.

I knew it was going to be dark, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.
On the outside, Bangkok is a bustling city, but when the sun goes down, the red-light districts light up.
It’s easy to think this is a problem on the other side of the world, but the streets fill with men from the United States and other western nations.
Western men select women according to the number pinned on their outfit, order sex acts from menus, and throw ping pong balls at the women as if they’re animals. From “secret menus,” the girls they take home can be 12 years old or younger.
My friend, Lori Wilhite, and I traveled half-way around the world into the darkest of the dark.
Lori is the founder of Leading and Loving it—a conference for Pastors’ Wives and Women in Ministry—that I attend every year (it’s soooooo good).
Her husband, Jud Wilhite, Senior Pastor at Central Christian Church in Las Vegas, and she’s the author of a beautiful book, My Name is Victorious!
To fully experience the joy of the table, we have got to learn how to work together to rescue others from the cultural slavery of sex trafficking.
You’ve got to hear our story—it’s wild. And click here to donate introduce freedom to some amazing women!

In the social media age, we are pressured to craft facades of perfection. A perfect life. A perfect job. A perfect wardrobe. A perfect body. In other words, the 21st century is an exceedingly difficult time to nurture vulnerability.
Yet to become vulnerable is to become Christ-like.
The path to vulnerability is not for the faint of heart. It requires sharing things we’d rather not share. Opening up the most tender parts of ourselves to others. And even more frightening…stepping into uncertainty.
Someone who knows and does vulnerability so well is my friend, Jamie Ivey. She’s the author of If You Only Knew, and she points out that guarding our stories and struggles comes at a cost. It’s exhausting.
On the other hand, she says transparency brings freedom.
If you’re someone who struggles to risk, to trust, to allow yourself to be known, you can’t afford to miss this conversation.

Chicken Zoodle Salsa Soup
This play on the comfort food of chicken noodle is a favorite for us, and super healthy. If there’s a bowl of soup for your kids to get a ton of veggies in their bodies, this is one of them! Not only is this soup good for you, but it’s also super easy, and there are many ways that your kids can help out in the kitchen.
Soup Ingredients:
1.5 – 2lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 bell peppers, rough chopped (red, green, and yellow)
1 yellow onion, rough chopped
1 package of zucchini spirals (or make your own!)
8 cups of chicken stock
3 stalks of celery, rough chopped
3 carrots chopped
1-2 handfuls of chopped kale
salt + pepper
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
olive oil
soup condiments (optional), such as chopped cilantro, sour cream, diced yellow onions, and shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa Ingredients:
6 vine-ripe tomatoes, halved
2 white onions, quartered
6-8 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno, halved with the end trimmed
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt & Pepper
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp ancho chili powder
First up is making your soup, and while it’s cooking and making your house smell amazing, whip up some salsa to go in the soup.
1. Slice chicken breast into bite-sized, one-inch pieces. Put pieces into a bowl, add salt and pepper, then stir.
2. In a large stockpot, heat up 2 TB of olive oil, then sauté chicken, chopped onion, and garlic until chicken has browned.
3. Add peppers, carrots, and celery to the pot, and continue cooking.
4. When pepper and celery have softened, add chicken broth and zucchini spirals. If soup needs more water, add more stock or water.
5. Bring soup to a simmer, then cook over medium-low heat for at least an hour.
6. Add the kale about 30 minutes before eating, and add the salsa right before serving.
Now, let’s make the salsa that will give the soup a beautifully roasted flavor!
1. If you have a broiler on your oven, turn it on. If not, set the oven to the highest temperature setting.
2. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, olive oil, salt and pepper on a sheet pan. Stir until well coated, then place into oven until heavily charred. (20 minutes or so).
3. Place ingredients into Vitamix or blender, add salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder, and pulse till smooth.
4. Add cilantro and lime juice and pulse gently until incorporated.
When your soup has simmered for at least an hour, and your salsa has been whipped up to perfect, it’s time to combine and enjoy!
Add all the salsa contents into the soup, and stir until blended. Remove from heat.
Serve soup in large bowls then top with yummy condiments like sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, and diced onions.
