Greetings from Dr. Melodye Hilton, Joel Hilton, and Katie Stansfield--your Life Exchange co-hosts. As the holiday season draws near, we are bringing season 2 of Life Exchange to a close as we hone in on some local planning here at our Central Pennsylvania home base. Our plan is to return in 2024 with a new season and fresh content for you. Be sure to follow the show so you'll be notified when the next episodes release. We love you and look forward to sharing conversations with you again soon!

The book of James tells us that if we, as followers of Jesus, lack wisdom that we should ask Him for it and that He will give it generously and He won’t be disappointed that we asked. In this episode, we talk about what wisdom is and what it isn’t. We also talk about the effects of utilizing wisdom as well as the reality of not using wisdom.

Today we’re talking about the topic of freedom. Is there a difference between God’s idea of freedom and our own? What is the responsibility of freedom? What does freedom mean for followers of Jesus? We take some interesting twists and turns along the way and as always, we hope you enjoy the conversation.

Today’s topic is no small undertaking. We’re talking about God Himself–the Holy Spirit. There can sometimes be some elusive or mysterious ideas surrounding this Divine member of the Holy Trinity and while we are no experts or Theologians, we do know Him personally. We’ll share some of the Holy Spirit’s characteristics and His role in our lives according to Scripture as well as debunk some thoughts that might get mixed in within conversations on this subject. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Anger is one of the basic emotions that we all have. It is a natural feeling and we know that even God gets angry so does anger sometimes get a bad wrap as being wrong or inherently destructive? In today’s episode, we ask the questions, “Is anger bad?” “Why do we get angry?” and “What is the difference between God’s anger and human anger?” We also talk through where the Bible tells us to “Be angry and not sin.” We hope you enjoy the conversation!

Today, we’re talking about maturity: what it is, what it isn’t, why it’s important, when the process is complete. The Bible consistently reminds us that we are to grow up and mature into strong, solid Believers, but it also says that we should remain childlike in our faith. What does this tell us about what maturity looks like in the Kingdom of God? We hope you enjoy our conversation as we cover this topic from various perspectives and angles.

This week, we talk about the good that comes from being a resilient person and how to gain that grit that helps the tough get going when the going gets tough. On the other hand, we also talk about when resiliency can actually be to our detriment and cause us undue harm on our path towards success. We hope you enjoy today’s episode!
