On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

S1 E22 | What It Looks Like to Love God and Others By Hearing His Voice, with Rachael Adams 27:18

17 days ago27:18

27:18

In this episode, Marnie and Rachael Adams continue with part two of their conversation about loving God and others better and how hearing God’s voice helps us to do that. Sometimes it helps to hear someone else’s stories, to know what it can look like to do a thing we want to do better. Rachael shares several stories of what trusting those promptings has looked like for her, from conversations in the places she goes to inviting a dear neighbor for some barbecue chicken. As she goes about her days, she is listening and walking out this call we share to love Him and others — and even ourselves. What a reassurance that yes, we can do this, too. Marnie and Rachael discuss how: God used everyday circumstances to invite Rachael to love others. We can love God but not hear Him – and how to hear Him louder. Hearing and obeying God isn’t about getting a certain reaction or outcome. Loving ourselves means something different to God than in our culture. To learn to hear God’s voice as the loudest. Author of A Little Goes a Long Way and Everyday Prayers for Love , Rachael Adams, hopes to help women realize God’s love and purpose for their lives. She and her husband, Bryan, live in Kentucky with their two children, Will and Kate. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, Crosswalk, Proverbs 31, Today Parenting, and YouVersion.

S1 E21 | How Loving God and Loving Others Helps Us Hear God’s Voice, with Rachael Adams 38:53

17 days ago38:53

38:53

In this episode, Marnie and Rachael Adams discuss how loving God and loving others fits together with hearing God’s voice. Because they go together. When we love God and others, we’re leaning into our journey with Him in ways that open us to hearing Him – and when we hear His voice louder, we can love Him and others better. And sometimes we overcomplicate it all, when what God is really asking of us is pretty simple. Marnie and Rachael discuss how: Circumstances can unfold differently than we expect after hearing God’s direction – but that doesn’t mean we misheard God. Knowing we are loved by God helps us to love Him and others. Feeling unlovable can be a barrier to receiving God’s love for us. Listening for God’s voice is part of HOW we love others. We can love God and others as a natural part of our everyday. We often overcomplicate what loving God and others looks like.

32:53

In this episode, Marnie and Mariel Davenport discuss how as an atheist, she was perfectly content to believe that God didn’t exist – but God had other plans. Marnie and Mariel discuss: How the label “atheist” didn’t keep God away. God’s heart to pursue us, even when we aren’t aware of Him or His pursuit. How God used the imperfect humans from the stories in Genesis to meet Mariel's own brokenness. How Mariel began to hear God speak to her as she read the Bible. When we read His Word every day and listen for Him, He anchors us with those very words.

S1 E18 | What Desperate Prayers Look Like (& How the Right Words Don’t Matter), with Rachel Wojo 31:19

6 weeks ago31:19

31:19

In this episode, Marnie and Rachel Wojo continue with part two of their conversation by discussing her book, Desperate Prayers . In every desperate circumstance we face, we have the choice of whether to pray or not pray. To walk through it with God or without Him. Rachel shares what choosing to walk through it with God can look like. And we don’t have to be perfect or say the right words. Marnie and Rachel chat about how: We can lean into and learn from the desperate prayers of 15 Bible characters – and know that our own heartbreaks look an awful lot like theirs. To pray when we don’t have the words. Simple three-word prayers open our communication with Jesus. When we open ourselves up to God in prayer, we begin to hear Him in a different way. Rachel Wojo is an author, public speaker, and podcaster who hosts Bible reading challenges on her popular blog, rachelwojo.com . Her biblical approach and life circumstances influence women to find strength and hope in everyday situations. The ideal desperate pray-er to shed light on asking God questions, Rachel’s journey includes losing her mother to leukemia, her adult special needs daughter to a rare neurologically degenerative disease, and her father to illness. She is the author of Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life’s Darkest Moments . Mostly, Rachel is crazy in love with Matt, mom to six on earth and two in heaven.

In this episode, Marnie and Rachel Wojo discuss how, inside the hardest of hard things, we face a choice: Hold our heartbreak alone or offer God our most desperate, raw prayers. We don’t always want to invite God into our anger, confusion, and pain – but Rachel asks the question, what if inside our trials, we leaned into Jesus? What if we asked Him to show us how to show up? When we choose to, something unexplainable happens. If you’re in a painful season, these next two episodes are for you. Marnie and Rachel have a real and raw conversation, through some tears, about how: God is always pursuing us – and her story of His pursuit at age 6. His voice and character are always the same, but the way we listen can change. He meets us in what Rachel calls “the fellowship of suffering,” a sacred place that offers unexplainable peace, like the eye of the storm. When we experience His comfort, we find a deeper longing for His presence.

S1 E15 | Why Do We Need Certainty and How Do We Surrender It? With Abby McDonald 35:06

9 weeks ago35:06

35:06

In this episode, Marnie and Abby McDonald discuss our longing for certainty. It’s something we all want, right? We want to know when we choose a certain path, it’s going to end up a certain way. What we may not realize is that our desire for certainty can actually get in the way of being with and hearing Jesus. What if surrendering the need for certainty helps us find and hear Jesus better? Marnie and Abby chat about how: When Abby discovered that she could hear God’s voice, it changed everything about her walk with Jesus. Only one thing is needed to hear Him — and it isn’t knowledge. Knowledge does not determine our ability to hear God. We don’t have to have it all figured out to hear Him. Wanting certainty is a “yoke” or burden that’s too heavy for us. To lay down the need for certainty. Abby McDonald is the author of Surrendering Certainty and Shift . She is also a writing coach and speaker whose passion is to help women become unstuck in their calling and respond to God’s voice in faith. She is a regular contributor for Proverbs 31 Ministries, and her work has been featured in numerous publications.

In this episode, Marnie and Monika Kirkland continue with part two of their conversation with a discussion of how to open our hearts to hearing Jesus when He seems quiet. It’s all about taking the pressure off ourselves. Marnie and Monika chat about how: It’s normal that we experience quieter times with God. We can draw near Him in several simple, practical ways that help open our hearts to hearing Him. We want to seek Him in the “low stakes” moments so we can hear Him more clearly in the “high stakes” moments. We’re probably already hearing Him more than we think. If we’re bored or stale or dry in our walk with Jesus, we can tell Him that. Monika Kirkland is a Christian writer, podcaster, wife, and mother of four that knows what it’s like to walk in the trenches of motherhood, marriage, and over a decade of ministry. She is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to cultivate intimacy with Christ and experience the transformative power of the gospel from the inside out.

In this episode, Marnie and Monika Kirkland discuss what the experience of hearing Jesus can be like and how it can look different in different seasons. She shares two powerful stories, separated by decades, of hearing His whispers in two very different seasons. Marnie and Monika chat about how: Jesus whispered a specific, timely promise she needed in her teen years and then, decades later, whispered a fresh, unexpected promise that only He could orchestrate. Our practice of listening can look different in different seasons. Having knowledge does not equal having intimacy with Jesus. Delighting in Him and spending time with Him can quiet our striving. Our expectations of God can get in the way of hearing Him.

24:20

In this episode, Marnie and Shawna Sullivan continue their conversation about trusting God with “crossroads” decisions and then shift to discussing how understanding “stewardship” fits into both the big and small decisions. Marnie and Shawna chat about: How to wait on God for clarity and unity with “crossroads” decisions. How scripture will root us as we wait and how God will offer confirmations. How seeking first the kingdom of God means stepping into a bigger story. What stewardship looks like (hint: it’s not only finances). How we teach our children to know God as their provider.

In this episode, Marnie and Shawna Sullivan discuss those important “stay” or “go” decisions. Shawna shares how over a span of 13 years, as her family prayed and waited, God made both “stay” and then “go” not just clear, but even filled with peace and joy. Marnie and Shawna chat about: How in the waiting season, the question, “What if God brought us here for more than just ourselves?” became an anchor. How God answered Shawna’s family’s prayers by confirming, “Stay,” and then in His timing, led them to “Go.” How in God’s kindness, He will answer and even re-confirm His answer. How in our waiting seasons, God’s Word is sufficient. Shawna Sullivan is a mother and home educator to four children.
