Put on the Cardi B., snap on your overalls, and lace up those combat boots--it's time for the ladies from At His Feet studies, Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon. (Did you know they named their new book after Hope?? Yeah, the publisher wouldn't let them call it Hope & Chris for the Anxious and Depressed...so weird, B&H.) Hope and Chris BRING IT in this episode, letting us all know we really should be more afraid of the butterfly house, the microwave, and those boys in Hebrew class. These ladies set the example for being unapologetically themselves, and the way they live life in color is refreshing and shame-releasing. And also possibly has undiagnosed dyslexia...maybe, we don't know, but probably yes.They bring their whole hearts to this episode, laughing together and reminding us all that Jesus is not ashamed of us.Chris and Hope's new book, Hope for the Anxious and Depressed, releases September 29th with B&H and is on preorder now. You can find all of their previous studies at their web site, athisfeetstudies.com, where you can also find their latest study on 1 Corinthians. The ladies are also on the Instagram.Music for Unseriously was composed and produced by Adam Wright, founder of ⁠⁠The Corner Room⁠⁠, a ministry that sets the Bible to music as a tool for memorization and meditation.

It's a very special Get Serious episode with Holly's real life friend, Mark Whitworth. Mark served for 27 years in several capacities at the Southeastern Conference (or the SEC for those of you sportsy-folk), ultimately as associate commissioner. Through a series of events you've just got to hear him tell, he was recruited to Asbury University first as their Athletic Director, and now as a Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff...and he landed there just a couple of years before the revival, or what is now referred to as the Outpouring at Asbury.Mark shares stories from those extraordinary days, ushering those of us who observed from afar straight into Hughes Auditorium, letting us in on just how God had used his previous training at the SEC to equip him for such a time as this. Be encouraged as you are reminded how God writes our stories and prepares us for the unimaginable. Plus, it's a call to radical humility and an expectant heart.Holly wants you to know if only she could have named this episode a normal Unseriously-style name, she definitely would have called it: "Mark Whitworth Ditched Chapel."Look for more funny stories from Mark on an upcoming episode, but for now this episode will lean into the serious, and we hope your heart is led into worship as well.Links, Mentions, and Resources:Asbury University on InstagramBattle for the Heart/Wellspring Group Mark references, and their previous episode of UnseriouslyOMPC founding and former lead pastor, Bob FlayhartMr. "I Preached a Stinker.
