  • 100. Are You a Highly Sensitive Person? with Cheri Gregory
    Jun 24 2025

    Welcome to Episode 100 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    My guest this week is Cheri Gregory, a woman I "met" online several years ago through a few of her books. I read her book, Sensitive & Strong, and so many things in my life now have explanations.

    I just thought I was too sensitive or too emotional. It turns out that neither is true. My kids lovingly tease me about crying over commercials, and kids' movies, and scenes in books.

    But as Cheri explains in this episode, it's not just about crying; it's not just about emotions. Being a Highly Sensitive Person is more than that.

    Cheri and I hope this episode gives you words to describe something you couldn't before. We hope it gives you insight into what may be happening in your life or that of someone you love.

  • 99. Beauty In Affliction (BoBB)
    Jun 20 2025

    Welcome to Episode 99 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about Paul's exhortation to boast in our afflictions. That's counterintuitive, right? But the truth is that even in our afflictions, we have hope. And we have that hope because of God's love.

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.
