  • What clip!”?

    The interview with Lara Silverman was enlightening. You both shared that there was a scene in The Chosen with “Little James” that was very impactful. She even wrote about it in her book, but you didn’t share what was said or what episode/season. I’d really like to go back and watch the scene.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Biofeedback and Hope with Restore of Ada Founder, Dana Hargus
Q: What misunderstandings have you seen that Christians or the church have about trauma and some of these related things?
Dana explains that the church sometimes implies spiritual failure when suffering persists and emphasizes that trauma has real, physical brain-based effects; she notes that trauma-informed perspectives can help people understand their reactions and seek appropriate help without shame.
Singing Through the Fire: A Conversation with Author Lara Silverman
Q: Scripture promises and suffering—what does the Bible promise, and what does it not promise?
The conversation clarifies that while God is a refuge and protector, Scripture also speaks of trouble; suffering is part of the Christian experience, and believers are called to endure with hope, not to expect a pain-free life.
Singing Through the Fire: A Conversation with Author Lara Silverman
Q: I know you write about Armenian life and a planned path—what did that look like for you before illness changed everything?
Lara describes a path focused on career, family, faith, and cultural values, with high ambitions in law and the arts; illness disrupted this plan and forced a reorientation toward reliance on God and a redefined sense of purpose.
Christians with Chronic Illnesses with L.A. Sprague
Q: What inspired you to start Christians with Chronic Illnesses and what is its purpose?
