In No Hurry with Cole Douglas Claybourn

I'm excited to welcome back a repeat guest this week as Callie Picardo joins me to talk about the latest book she and her husband, Rosario, wrote called, " Healthy Money: A 30-Day Journey Toward Spiritual, Emotional, and Financial Freedom ." Our book isn't ju...

Do you ever follow someone on social media and just know you would vibe with them in real life? That's how I feel about this week's guest, Ashley Abercrombie. We've been following each other on the internet for a year or so, and I love her content and personality...

One of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is getting to sit down with my wife every year around our anniversary and reflect on the past year of our lives. After a few years of chaos, highlighted by a December 2021 tornado that displaced us for almost nine months, this pas...

In late October 2019, Ryan Ahlwardt and I sat down at a library near Indianapolis, Indiana to record the first episode of this podcast. Four years later, we're still going strong. As we've tried to do every year around the anniversary (we missed last year for some re...

Do you ever just make up silly songs just for fun when you're at home alone? I feel like a lot of us do, but rarely do we ever share them with the world. Well, right out when the pandemic hit, that's what Sarah Maddack Bell started doing. Now, several of her silly songs have go...

A lot of us are burnt out. If you aren't feeling it now, you surely have at some point and probably will in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 left all of us feeling all sorts of ways, and I'm willing to guess burnout and weariness were just a couple of the emo...

We live in a world that tells us that doing more and staying busy are hallmarks of success. Having down time or relaxing is sometimes perceived as possessing a poor work ethic or being lazy. Most of us feel like we have to fill our schedules with work — sometimes multiple jobs...

“Receive the Holy Spirit,” Jesus said to his disciples in John 20:22. Yet, for many Christians, the Holy Spirit can feel like a mystery. How do we hear it? How do we receive it? How do we discern what it's telling us and what our spiritual gifts are? How do we know that wh...

For the last four decades, Dr. Steve Seamands has been a staple at Asbury University. As a student in the 1970s, he was part of what became a well-known and still-talked-about student-led revival. Now, as a retired professor at the seminary, he got to experience another reviva...

No matter how hard the tug might be to pursue a creative passion, jumping all in to do it can be scary. It's especially challenging when it requires leaving a steady career with good income for what might feel like an unknown future. But that's what Benecia Ponder did when, in ...

Paul Putz serves as the assistant director of the Faith & Sports Institute, part of the Truett Seminary at Baylor University. Though Paul and I connected previously through social media, we met in person at a conference in June in Minneapolis and found out we have quite a ...

Scott Linebrink played 12 seasons in the major leagues — a long career in professional sports by any measure. After a successful college baseball career at Texas State University, Linebrink was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 1997, and after three years in the minor lea...

I don't know anyone who reads more books than my wife, Emily. Seriously. In 2022 she read over 130 books! It's truly a joy for her to escape into a story and let her imagination run wild as she imagines these characters. A couple years ago, she started an Instagram acc...

Sports fans are passionate people. Sometimes, we take it a little too far and let our emotions get the best of us. Our team loses a big game or doesn't play well and we can let it affect our mood for days, weeks or even much longer. But as believers, how we conduct ourse...

If you read or follow Sports Spectrum, much of the branding and social media presence you see is the creation of Leah Montgomery. She is in charge of all of our social media and marketing efforts, and she also serves as our de facto staff photographer. So much of our visual pr...

The role that journalists play in our society is so vital. Not only do they inform the public, but they hold those in power accountable. As stories of church abuse and unethical behavior from Christian leaders continue to sprout up, we see just how important journalists are ...

The whole premise of the In No Hurry Podcast is to engage in conversations that intersect faith and creativity. This week not only do I get to speak with an author and artist, but the focus of our conversation is about creativity and tapping into the natural artistic gifts God...

While trusting in God's will for our lives is an essential part of the Christian walk, it's also one of the most difficult things we attempt to do as humans. When God tells us "no" to our prayers, we often struggle with how to respond. For many of us, it can ...

The last few years have been really hard for everyone. I don't know about you, but I've very much appreciated the times I've been able to laugh. Humor and laughter have some serious healing powers, and this week, my guest knows all about how to make people laugh. William Dan...

Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer. And as much as we'd like it to be, the church is not always a place where everyone feels welcome. Sometimes, it's not a space where e...

Being in community with people is one of the strongest desires we feel as humans. As adults, finding that community can be a challenge, but the church can be a great place to look.  A new book by Barnabas Piper, " Belong ," seeks to equip churches and churchgoers about ...

As we've done the past few years on our wedding anniversary, this week my wife Emily and I share a conversation reflecting on the past year of our marriage. This was probably the most challenging year of our marriage, but in many ways it became the most refining. I've talked a...

Laughter has been some of the best medicine for me over the past couple of years. One of the best sources, at times, has been TikTok, and one of the best accounts I've come across is that of Josh Benson — better known as @joshbensontherapper . While the rapping has taken a bac...

While society has come a long way in embracing women as leaders, we still have a ways to go. That's especially true in the Church, where female pastors are few and far between and the path to leadership positions is often rockier and more treacherous for women than it is for m...

Relationships are hard, and sometimes they can be especially challenging to navigate in the workplace. Chances are you've worked with a person or two that, for whatever reason, were just hard to jive with. Maybe you've been passed over for a promotion or to be the lead on a pr...
