There are few voices we trust to walk us through living in the gap of disappointment more than this treasure—our friend and wise mentor—Nika Maples. Alisa and Nika sit down in the most honest and vulnerable conversation that will encourage you, bless you, and lift your heart. Nika's experience living with a disappointment gap helps us acknowledge that often life doesn't look like what we thought it would. Through her own experience as a stroke survivor living with physical disabilities, she teaches us how to look at that pain and learn to live on the other side of the gap. 

Nika deeply loves Jesus and is a beloved writing coach, author, and speaker. You can connect with her at theblessyourbook.com. You can also listen to her first conversation with Alisa here: #441 Nika Maples: Through the Wilderness

David Taylor has a message that's going to resonate around here, and we're so excited he's on the podcast today! He is bringing home the message that our bodies aren't a problem to be solved but play an important role in worship and praise. Alisa and David dive deep into understanding where confusion about the body and body disintegration first shows up in the church, and David helps reminds us why we're created for embodied worship. You'll also learn why practicing silence is one of the most important forms of worship you can do. This conversation is all joy, and we think it's going to change how you think about worship!

David is an author, theologian, priest, and speaker with a new book, A Body of Praise. Connect with David at wdavidotaylor.com. You can also check out the beautiful prayer cards David and wife, Phaedra, created to help children pray through seasons of the church: prayer cards.
