In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with Alicia Britt Chole for a profound conversation on spiritual formation, leadership, and staying faithful through the night seasons. Alicia shares how she, as a former atheist, became a passionate follower of Jesus, learned to linger in Scripture, and why so many leaders fall short—not for lack of passion, but lack of depth. If you’ve ever wrestled with burnout, grief, or disillusionment in your faith, this episode offers hope, truth, and a deeply needed reminder: Jesus is with us in the dark.

SHOW NOTES:
From Atheist to Disciple
Alicia shares her radical encounter with Jesus and how her love for Scripture began the moment she believed.

The Word Is Alive—So Don’t Just Read It, Relate to It
She describes how lingering in just a few words of Scripture can lead to spiritual awakening and deeper intimacy with Jesus.

Why Leaders Are Falling—and What We Can Learn
They unpack the growing trend of spiritual burnout and moral failure in leadership, and how depth and honesty are crucial for longevity.

What We Do with Conviction Matters Most
Alicia reminds us that the Holy Spirit is always working, but it’s our response to His conviction that shapes our future.

The Night Is Normal—And Jesus Is in the Middle of It
They explore what it means to find Jesus in suffering, how to process church hurt, and why shared pain with Christ becomes holy ground.
