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!

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with pastor and author Chuck Ammons about his new book, Reconstructing Dad. Chuck shares his personal story of losing his father at a young age, walking through fatherlessness, becoming a dad to five children, and discovering the tender, steady, and faithful heart of God as Father. In this episode, Missy and Chuck discuss: How father wounds can shape the way we see God Why we need to read Scripture through what Chuck calls the Emmaus lens How striving, fear, and anxiety can reveal an orphan mentality Why rest is not laziness, but an invitation to trust the Father Chuck reminds us that bold faith is not always quick obedience with immediate results. Sometimes bold faith looks like holding on to what God planted, even through storms, waiting, refining, and uncertainty. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
