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":"2026-07-20T16:19:52.924874+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387"},"episode":{"title":"119 - When Church Becomes Family with Rich Griffith and JJ Jones","slug":"119-when-church-becomes-family-with-rich-griffith-and-jj-jones","published_at":"2026-07-06T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387/119-when-church-becomes-family-with-rich-griffith-and-jj-jones","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/119_-_Rich_Griffith_and_JJ_Jones_02.mp3?dest-id=4145004","summary":"Have you ever wondered what it really means for the church to live like family? In this episode of Bold Faith Now , Missy talks with Dr. Rich Griffith and Dr. JJ Jones, co-writers of Reimagining Church as Family . Together, they discuss what it means for the church to move beyond programs, age groups, and traditional family structures, and truly live as the family of God. Rich and JJ remind us that discipleship doesn't need to become overly complicated or professionalized. Sometimes it looks like conversations in the car, sitting around a table, serving together, or helping younger generations discover their gifts. In this episode, Missy, Rich, and JJ discuss: Why the church must think biblically about family, not just culturally or biologically How systemic abandonment can leave young people, single parents, grandparents, seniors, and others feeling unseen Why intergenerational discipleship matters for the health of the church How every person in the body of Christ has something to offer, no matter their age, stage, or season of life Church family can be messy because people are messy. But when the church lives as the body of Christ, every generation has a seat at the table. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
