What's Next God?

Like Cousin, Like Son • In September 2020, Ben and Tara got a phone call from a family member about a surprise cousin who had been born in another part of the state and placed in foster care. • Around the same time, I got a phone call from our local DHR about a newborn in the NICU needing a temporary home. • This is a story that is near to my heart and I had all the tissues ready for this one. • MelissaMathieson.com #WhatsNextGodpodcast

11 Kids and Counting? • Forrest and Caren are currently raising 11 children under the age of 14. That’s right. Eleven children....and they’re such a fun family! Their journey in foster care began 15 years ago and I’m seriously inspired by their story. I hope you are too. • MelissaMathieson.com #WhatsNextGodpodcast

Prophetic Dreams: Hearing the Voice of God • My friend Jenn Z is back! In this conversation we talk about hearing from God through dreams. Jenn is in some major transition in her life and has had some significant night dreams that have given her specific guidance and strategy for making decisions about what’s next. • Sometimes talking about dreams and dream interpretation can sound a little hoky, but I wanted Jenn to talk practically with us about how we can hear the voice of God through our dreams by sharing some of her own stories. • Jenn is moving to Manchester, England and you’re going to be amazed at how God has been speaking to Jenn over the last four years about this next season in her life. • Follow Jenn on Instagram • MelissaMathieson.com #WhatsNextGodpodcast

Why did I do a podcast episode with my sixteen year old daughter? • Maya Cole is smart, funny, likes mix-tapes and is 16 going on 78. She’s a regular modern-day teenager with an old soul and I think she’s pretty awesome. • I wanted this conversation to inspire you to take 30-45 minutes with the young people in your life and just ask questions about the things they love. You may be surprised at the things you’ll learn. • MelissaMathieson.com Facebook: What’s Next God? Podcast #WhatsNextGodpodcast
