Summary

Hey Friends! What a show this is. I am so excited to have the amazing Philip Yancey with us to talk about his personal journey with God. This is such an important conversation, and I hope you’ll walk away from it feeling encouraged and inspired. Philip and I take a deep dive on his experiences growing up in an Independent Baptist Church, the difficulties with his mother, and how we can make sure we are living a life of grace. We also discuss his new memoir, Where the Light Fell. As you may know Philip is a Christian author who writes about questions and topics of faith that matter to both believers and doubters alike. Listen in to learn more about: How growing up in a rigid household gave Philip the wrong picture of God. The importance of nuance in our prayers to God. It is not a voting competition where we need to get a number of people on our side to persuade God to do something. His journey of making peace through the years with seeing God as a loving parent. How the experience with the Church and your experience with God are two very different things. Favorite quotes: 1. Grace means there’s nothing you can do to make God love you more. 2. Grace-healed eyes means seeing the world not through the performance, merit, ranking eyes that we tend to do around us but rather through God’s eyes. 3. I’ve learned early on what you believe is important. You got to get it right. Some people who claim to speak for God happen to be wrong and we shouldn’t take it at face value when they say they are speaking for God. 4. God wants us like little children to climb into a parents lap and say this is what I want. 5. Don’t make your decision about relating to God based on your experience in the church. Great things we discussed: 1. Philip Yancey2. Where the Light Fell: A Memoir 3. Reckless Love 4. The Good Doctor 5. Paul: A Biography 6.

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.5	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.3	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:27.0	What a show I have for you. This is a great one. I am honored to get to have a conversation
0:33.3	with Philip Yancey for us. Philip is a prolific author, New York Times bestseller.
0:39.8	I was nervous even thinking about what all I was going to talk to him about.
0:43.8	Because how do I fit it into a showtime?
0:46.7	I could have talked for hours and hours and hours and asked him so many questions.
0:52.1	You're going to love this one.
0:53.4	I am so excited that you're here.
0:56.0	No coaching time today because we went a little bit long with Philip, but hello, how could we not?

1:05.7	And just a reminder, this is the last week to apply for my internship program.
1:13.8	My internship program is how I give the training and mentoring to a group of women each year. They come and work alongside me. Now this is
1:19.1	remote. You can be anywhere you want. I teach how I do what I do, why I make the decisions that I make,
1:25.2	and I give them the coaching that they need. This internship is what I wish I had 15 years ago. If somebody would have let me come and just learn from them, it would have been amazing. I actually reached out to someone, think about 13 years ago. She had been the CEO of a large company. She was doing all these great things.
1:50.4	And I said, can I just work for you? You don't have to pay me. Can I just spend a couple of hours every week doing something for you and get a chance to talk to you and learn from you? And she didn't have time.
1:54.4	And I remember that experience of going, if I could just figuratively, you know, sit at someone's feet and figure things out and
