In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with Lisa Harper to dive deep into the meaning of Easter and their new Bible study, The Promise and Power of Easter. Lisa and Christine unpack why the resurrection is the most important event in human history and how it impacts our everyday lives. With humor, deep biblical insight, and personal stories, they bring fresh perspective to the Easter story—reminding us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in us today.
Whether you’re looking for a faith boost, a fresh understanding of Easter, or practical ways to live in resurrection power, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to walk in the fullness of what Jesus paid for!
SHOW NOTES:
Why Easter Is More Than a Holiday
Christine and Lisa discuss how Easter isn’t just a religious event—it’s the foundation of our faith. They explore how modern culture often minimizes the resurrection, when in reality, it’s the most transformational moment in history.
Resurrection Power for Everyday Life
Christine and Lisa talk about how the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us (Romans 8:11) and why that reality should transform the way we live, pray, and trust God.
Addressing Doubts: Is the Resurrection Real?
For those struggling with doubt, Lisa shares historical and biblical evidence for the resurrection, including how 11 of the 12 disciples were willing to die rather than deny what they had seen.
Living in the Light of Easter
Christine and Lisa discuss the activation of Easter—how we are called to not just believe in Jesus’ resurrection, but to step into the power it brings. They also reflect on Acts 1 and why Easter doesn’t stop at the Gospels—it continues through the Holy Spirit empowering believers today.

In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with team member Mattie Meese to dive into her powerful book, Don't Look Back. Inspired by Jesus' words in Luke 17:32, “Remember Lot’s wife,” Christine shares how many of us get stuck in the past, unable to move forward into the future God has for us.

In this episode, Christine Caine welcomes Dr. Kara Powell, Executive Director of the Fuller Youth Institute. Kara believes faith-filled teenagers and young adults can change our world, but they need parents and mentors to intentionally invest in their lives. This episode will equip you to better understand today’s youth, provide you with practical ideas for discipleship, and ignite a passion within you for a future-focused church.
SHOW NOTES:
Intentional Investments
Kara asks: “Can we as adults be more intentional in how we reach out to the young people God's already put in our paths?” She challenges Christian adults to open their hearts and lives to the young people around them. They are hungry for discipleship!
Invest Like Jesus
Teenagers are looking for identity, belonging, and purpose, and they have many sources to provide answers. Kara firmly believes Jesus is the best answer. She challenges us to accompany young people, pointing them to Jesus, the ultimate source of our identity, belonging, and purpose. Jesus himself invited young men and women into his life, teaching them how to follow God. We are wise to do the same!
Future Focused Church
Kara’s has a new book releasing this spring that provides useful information to help churches make changes for future generations. If your church feels stuck in guiding young people, this book will provide the insights needed to help you focus on four things:
1. Who you are as a church: what are your strengths and how do you make sure people are engaged?
2. Understanding the church's current reality by listening to all generations, especially young people.
3. Focus on the future. What is God’s vision for the church?
4. How do you take who you are and move from “here” to “there”?

In this episode, Christine Caine welcomes clinical psychologist, Dr. Rhiannon DuBois, who oversees the global aftercare program for A21. Dr. Rhiannon reflects on her experience with divorce and brings practical wisdom for grieving in redemptive ways. This episode will equip you with three coping practices when dealing with trauma.
SHOW NOTES:
Three Coping Practices
1. Emotion-focused coping involves acknowledging and feeling the emotions surrounding your situation and then processing those emotions through journaling, praying, or talking to a trusted friend or counselor.
2. Solution or problem-focused coping looks at what you must do to move forward and function.
3. Lastly, avoidant coping avoids the pain by denying the issue and, in extreme cases, turning to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain. It can even be Netflix binging, retail therapy, or anything that distracts you from dealing with the feelings associated with the trauma.
Avoid Avoidance
Research tells us that emotion and problem-focused coping are the healthiest ways to deal with grief. Avoidance might work for a while but eventually comes out in anger or aggression. Like a volcano, your feelings will erupt in unhealthy ways. Giving yourself structured time to practice emotion-focused coping will help you process your feelings within a set time so you can deal with the emotions rather than avoid them. Problem-focused coping helps maintain purpose when life can feel hopeless.
Accepting the Unacceptable
Life can be excruciatingly hard, but Rhiannon encourages us that rather than ruminating on what we can’t change and remaining stuck in suffering, we can accept that we don’t understand. There is freedom in accepting the situation and laying it down in the hands of our Heavenly Father who sees the whole picture and will lovingly guide us through the pain.

No matter where a woman has influence – in an office, in her community, at home with her family, or in ministry – Propel is driven by a calling to equip and mobilize women to become effective co-laborers with Christ and make a difference within their unique spheres of influence.
In this episode, Christine Caine welcomes Jenn Brown, Vice President of Collaborative Partnerships at OneHope. Jenn encourages women to embrace that you cannot separate your gender from your leadership – it’s ok to bring all of yourself into your participation in the mission of God. This episode will encourage you to lead from the heart of who God created you to be and show up well in your strengths.
SHOW NOTES:
Heart-led Leadership
Jenn emphasizes the value of female leadership due to their natural bend toward connectivity. Women also, at their best, often lead from their heart, drawing people together and cultivating unity in a world bent toward isolation. Heart leadership is motivated by empathy, courage, vulnerability, and connectivity, which is innate for women.
The Condition of Our Hearts
Christine stresses that women are in no way better, less sinful, or more capable than men. Sin is genderless. Both men and women must lead from a healthy heart that is redeemed by the Lord. Christian leadership is NEVER a competition, rather we should be working together.
Transparency and Accountability
Those leading from the heart are naturally honest and authentic in their communications with others. Additionally, Christine and Jenn remind us that leaders need to have discernment about what to share publicly versus privately. It’s wise to discern what conversations are meant to be had in close relationships, and what is meant to be shared with wider circles.

In this episode, Christine Caine welcomes college professor, author, and passionate leader, Dr. Arianna Molloy. Dr. Arianna warns us not to confuse the importance of our calling with the One who called us in the first place, which often leads to a loss of self and exhaustion. Today’s conversation will equip you with the tools to avoid burnout, walk in humility, and flourish in your calling with a right perspective of God.
SHOW NOTES:
Healthy Calling
In her book, Healthy Calling, Arianna defines calling as, “a meaningful passion, and something you’re skilled to do that makes a positive impact on others.” She says your calling is an opportunity to take Jesus with you into your sphere of influence.
Avoiding Burnout
As Christians, every calling necessitates loving God and loving others through the skill sets God provides. Knowing and living out our God-given purpose keeps us motivated, fulfilled, and satisfied in our work. Confusing our calling with our Caller, and allowing our occupation to become our identity, often leads to burnout.
Maintaining Humility
1. Know your strengths and weaknesses. And don’t get distracted by either one.
2. Be a lifelong learner.
3. Be able to step away for a moment to sabbath, remaining dependent upon the Lord for meaning and purpose.
