Have you ever been poisoned? Survived a civil war by hiding in a crawl space in a thatched hut? We haven’t either, but Carol Adams has! Reading Carol’s book, Grit of Love, we just knew we needed to get her on our podcast as her life resonates with the idea of not giving up. She shares with us her journey of being a victim of abuse to helping those who have been abused. Carol’s life was not easy, full of disappointment, hardship, abuse and pain. She has embraced a life of singleness and wears it well. Carol found that each season of her life was building in her, tools, necessary for her 30 year career of helping the less fortunate in Uganda and building strength in families.
Maybe your not being called to the mission field in Africa, however, Carol’s story reminds us that life is not easy, however, pushing through the pain is the most rewarding for not only ourselves but for those that surround us. If Carol had given up, lives would have been lost. But God has multiplied her faithfulness in pouring into children, that many of her children, now adults are doing incredible things in their communities and this world. She’s a simple and humble lady doing extraordinary things through her NGO Yes Uganda- making this planet a better place. Her whole life is a testimony to resiliency, and we are so honored to learn from her how develop 'onipa'a in our lives.

Dr. James Dobson even in his eighties continues to live his life to help others. His heart to help the family has been influential throughout the last 5 decades. As he shares in this podcast, his journey to a life of purpose begins with his faith in Jesus. He truly believes that if we operate in God's original design of family, we would see a healthier society and world. He believes this wholeheartedly that he has devoted his time, energy, resources, and money to building organizations that offer free support to help support and sustain the family.
Bob Waliszewski and Dr Dobson have a huge respect for one another, and we appreciate the opportunity to be a fly on the wall in this conversation. The wisdom we glean from Dr. Dobson is very inspirational, and we would encourage you to share this episode with friends and family!

OH WOW, this conversation with Daniel Kikawa, founder of Aloha Ke Akua, is eye opening and thought provoking. We talk about new ideas in how to share the gospel using what is already established in other people's culture vs forcing the western way. Daniel the author of books God of Light and God of Darkness and Perpetuated in Righteousness, a well known speaker, pastor, husband and father takes the time to share with us using personal stories hoping to inspire change in how we relate to others whether in our backyard or across the globe. This conversation took place right before I, Kelsey, went to Africa and I believe it is a must listen for ANYONE planning to travel overseas. You will be blessed, encouraged and inspired.
Today's podcast is for those who are feeling stuck. For those who feel a Big call on their life but can't seem to figure out the how. To those who want to do and be a part of BIG things, this conversation is one you don't want to miss. What a privilege to have Danny Lehmann on The Talking Story Podcast! Danny is an international speaker who has been featured at numerous Christian conferences and taught at Youth With A Mission (YWAM) schools worldwide. He is also the author of several books about evangelism, spiritual discipline and the Christian life, including "Beautiful Feet," "Before You Hit The Wall," and "The Next Big Thing." (which is the book we discuss on today's podcast). He has provided leadership within YWAM at the local level and globally through his roles within its academic arm, the University of the Nations. Danny lives in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, with his wife, Linda. We discuss how little choices can really lead to a BIG impact. It is easy to get discouraged in the day to day; being intentional and faithful in the "smaller" things can really be investment into greater things. We talk about community and positive Gossip inspired by his wife Linda.
Taking a step into the unknown can be very scary and intimidating. I, Kelsey, show up in real time and share what I'm feeling about heading to Africa. God has been teaching me a lot in Exodus and Joshua, so I share with you what I shared with the Emmaus church in Hilo, that God is faithful, He is good, He works miracles...but we (humans) have a short term memory. It's important that we do something to document the cool things that God does, so when the hard or uncertain things start we can be reminded that God has got this:) I share my strategy and idea for documentation of all the cool things God has done and will continue to do to those who believe in his Son Jesus Christ!
Stay tuned to how you can join us on a trip to Africa or other amazing places at www.moimoimarket.com. Sign up for our email list so you can be the first to know when those trips will launch. Space is limited!
A couple of dear friends have come to The Talking Story Podcast table to talk about *drum roll please* FRIENDSHIP!
In real time I come seeking advice about some of my personal struggles in friendship. I've been recently wounded by a friend. What do I do? How do I forgive? Do I let go? How do I take responsibility in a friendship? How can I be a better friend? And what can I do on social media to help build friendships?
So I wanted to seek Godly counsel to find answers to these questions.
Jacque and Rachael are friends from elementary days. These gals love Jesus and spend time in God's word daily and in prayer, so I knew that their wisdom was coming not just from personal experience but from their sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
So if you have ever struggled in this area of friendship, this podcast is for you. Heal, be inspired, and be encouraged that you can be the friend that the people in this world need!
