Happy New Year from the Grove Podcast! We are kicking it off with a 3-part series called Table Talks: Live from Passion 2021.

Today we’ve got a really sweet and timely encouragement from one of our best Grove Gals--Katherine Wolf. Katherine and her husband Jay have an incredible ministry called Hope Heals where they have taken their pain and turned it into a platform to speak to God’s faithfulness and sufficiency.

In the years since, she has been through countless therapies and procedures, and while she still has many physical struggles, she and Jay and their family are committed to the mantra “hope while you cope” and have generously given their lives to spread that message. Today she’s sharing about how we choose to trust God in the face of the fear of the unknown and there's probably no one more equipped to do so.

Stronger Together :: Shelley Giglio, Courtney Duke, Angela Richardson & Kerri Stanfill

Tue, 04 Jun 2019 10:00:03 GMT

Today we are wrapping up Season 1 of the Grove Podcast with one of our most powerful episodes yet. We get to hear from Shelley Giglio and some of her dearest friends - Courtney Pray Duke, Angela Richardson, and Kerri Stanfill - as they recount the days surrounding the sudden and tragic death of Courtney’s husband, Andrew Pray. No one ever feels prepared to walk through something like this, and we rarely feel equipped to help others as they walk a road we haven’t walked. But as these women share, it’s clear to see how they were each given exactly what they needed for each moment. They talk about listening to the Holy Spirit when He calls us to step outside of our comfortable norms, and they give the most beautiful picture of Gospel community through their unexpected relationships. You’ll hear the redemption story of what they have seen and you’ll be so encouraged to keep pushing through as you walk alongside those who are hurting and to hold on to hope in your own dark season.

This episode helps us launch our summer of the Grove Friendcast as we are asking YOU to share podcast episodes with us! Just grab a girlfriend or someone who inspires you and record a 5-10 minute mini-podcast episode and send it our way. We want to hear your Jesus stories - how you’ve been inspired to give shade to people in your path, how you choose to flourish where you’re planted, and how you’ve been set free! Check out passioncitychurch.com/thegrove for more details on how to submit your episode. And we’ll see you in September for season 2 of the Grove Podcast!

Suffering Strong :: Katherine Wolf

Tue, 23 Apr 2019 10:00:00 GMT

Today on the Grove Podcast, Shelley Giglio sits down with a dear friend of the Grove, Katherine Wolf. On April 21, 2008, Katherine suffered a massive brain stem stroke, which could have left her paralyzed or in a vegetative state, but the Lord had different plans for their family. Although she is still severely disabled, and struggles with many harsh side effects of her stroke and the events that followed, she and her husband Jay and their two boys have learned to thrive in their story. Katherine and Jay recently moved their family cross-country from Los Angeles to Atlanta and are a part of the Passion City Church family.

In today’s episode, she shares with Shelley how she has come to love her story, how God has healed her heart and given her the ability to “hope while you cope.” They talk about raising boys, the challenges of watching them grow in their understanding of her disability, and even relate to each other as being daughters of dads living with cancer. It’s an honor to have her share with us today, especially in the wake of the 11th anniversary of the day that would mark her life forever.
