Owning Your Awkward
It’s helpful to know we are not alone in not fitting in. Today’s guest is Nancy Carmichael, creator of IsleofMisfits.com. She loves to encourage others in their “weird,” and today she shares her three core values: owning your awkward, loving your fellow misfits, and seeking beauty and truth. Believing that God doesn’t just love us but actually likes the way he made us can help us own who we are and step into the glory and purpose he intended.SHOW NOTES:Verses: John 6:67-68 (NIV) — “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.Luke 8:26-39 (NIV) — Story of Legion being set free — (verse 36-37) Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.Galatians 5:1 (NIV) — It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. …John Keats Quote: “Beauty is truth — truth beauty — that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.”NANCY CARMICHAELWebsite: https://isleofmisfits.com/Podcast: https://isleofmisfits.com/podcasts/Blog: https://isleofmisfits.com/blog/Nancy Carmichael Bio:Nancy Carmichael is the Proprietor and Chief Misfit of the IsleofMisfits.com, a blogging and podcasting Oasis for self-proclaimed square pegs, far and wide. Through it, she hopes to build a community of people who own their awkward, love their fellow misfit and embrace beauty and truth in the weirdness of life. Aside from this, one of her main claims to fame is being merely 1 degree separated from Kevin Bacon, thanks to a friend who once played a stand-in for his leading lady in the 80’s classic “She’s Having a Baby”. As if it could get any better, Nancy is married to a man so good it took EHarmony to help her find him, and a daughter she will obnoxiously brag about if given even half a chance. She has spent her life communicating good news wherever in the world the door opens, through writing, singing, speaking, coaching, counseling and advocating for those whom society often overlooks.

A Conversation with Rita Springer
Join Stasi in this delightful conversation with singer, songwriter and gifted worship leader Rita Springer. Rita shares pieces of her story, including the powerful moment when she heard God ask her to “sing.” Friends, worshipping Jesus releases both a sweet, alluring fragrance and the power to break strongholds. Listen in and be encouraged by this wise woman.SHOW NOTES:Isaiah 54; specifically verse 54:1 (NIV) — “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord.Rita SpringerWebsite: http://www.ritaspringer.com/welcomePodcast: https://ritaspringerpdocast.buzzsprout.com/shareInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ritaspringer/Songs that Stasi referenced:Never LostThey Kingdom ComeRita Springer Bio:Rita is one of the most gifted worship leaders to arise over the last fifteen years. She believes that the joy of being a worship leader is to make those listening, jealous for what has been found in Christ. Making Christ famous through the art, act and physical sound of our worship is Rita’s anthem and her deepest desire is to see this arise in the body of Christ. Her motto is; “To make the Lord famous in whatever I do with my worship and relationship with Him”. Born out of that deep desire and to see women free through the tools of the Word, Worship and Prayer, she started her own women’s conference in 2000 called ‘Fragrant Oil’ it was an incredible season of 7 years watching God use worship powerfully to transform lives across the globe.In 2008 she began a worship school called DIVE. (Deep - Innovative - Vertical - Expression) The School trains and encourages upcoming worship leaders all over the world with weeklong intensive one-on-one courses. Staying true to her calling, Rita continues to write new songs and leads worship at churches, conferences and events around the country.
