Do you want to be a witness, stand for the Truth, step out of your comfort zone, and experience spiritual growth? Do you want to share the Good News of Jesus and what He has done in your life but are a little apprehensive about speaking boldly about Him to other people? Or maybe you have conversations with a friend or family member, and they ask hard questions about your faith, and you don't feel adequate in your Biblical knowledge to respond? If that is you, you are not alone, and you are in the right place, my friend! My name is Missy Eversole, and I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and a friend who loves to grab a cup of coffee, sit around the table and talk about Jesus. For years, I didn't have the courage to speak boldly about my relationship with Jesus because I felt inadequate. In my mind, no one would care about what I'd have to say if I didn't have a degree in theology. But here's what I've learned: you don't need a theology degree to be the light for Jesus! I'm here to encourage you with practical tips and applications to help you be bold in your faith and give you the daring confidence you need to…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387"},"episode":{"title":"104 - A Battle Cry for Prodigal Parents with Debra McNinch","slug":"104-a-battle-cry-for-prodigal-parents-with-debra-mcninch","published_at":"2026-03-23T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387/104-a-battle-cry-for-prodigal-parents-with-debra-mcninch","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387","url":"https://missyeversole.com/podcast/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/0fe3bcbe-5f86-4f87-a2ec-7ff7ba1b6cfc/105_-_Debra_McNinch_.mp3?dest-id=4145004","summary":"What happens when a parent's heartbreak collides with spiritual warfare, and love refuses to surrender? In today's Bold Faith Now episode, Missy sits down with Debra McNinch, author of Battle Cry: Love Goes to War and founder of Battle Cry Moms and Battle Cry Dads, two communities created to support parents walking through the pain of prodigal children, addiction, estrangement, LGBTQ identity, unbelief, and other deep family wounds. Debra shares the story behind her book and the moment everything changed for her family, the years of wrestling, and how God met her in the trenches of unanswered prayers. With honesty and hope, she explains why prodigal parenting is not merely emotional; it's a spiritual battle that demands intentional prayer, biblical clarity, and community. In this conversation, they discuss: How Debra's personal journey as a mom shaped the message of Battle Cry Why prodigal parenting is ultimately a spiritual battle and not just a relational struggle What intentional, intercessory prayer actually looks like (beyond Sunday-school answers) How the enemy isolates parents and lies to them about being \"the only one\" The reality of spiritual warfare against families and identity How churches can better support families walking through prodigal seasons Why \"no one fights alone\" is far more than a slogan Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
