Bought + Beloved With Kirby Minnick

If you want to better understand the heart of God and see how His love is consistently at work from Genesis to today, this conversation will deepen your biblical understanding and strengthen your hope in His unchanging character. Jennifer Matheny came onto my podcast to talk about her book Hesed, the Seed of the Biblical Story and the powerful, often overlooked theme of God’s steadfast love woven throughout Scripture. We explore what hesed really means in the Old Testament and how it reveals God’s faithful, covenantal love in every season of our lives.

In this episode, I sit down with Anne Blythe, a trauma and recovery expert, to talk about the deep pain of betrayal in relationships and the path toward healing and restoration. We discuss how betrayal impacts your mind, body, and spirit, and how to process the pain in a healthy, Christ-centered way. If you’re walking through heartbreak, broken trust, or relational trauma, this conversation will meet you with truth, compassion, and practical steps toward freedom, healing, and hope.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I truly following Jesus or just a version of Him I’ve created?” then this conversation will challenge, ground, and refocus your faith on who He really is! Kyle Idleman joins me in today’s episode to talk about his book, The Missing Messiah, and how our culture has reshaped Jesus into something more comfortable and less true. We dive into what it really means to follow Jesus as Messiah and King, not just Savior, and how to move from a surface-level faith into deep, transformative relationship!

If you’ve ever felt confused, curious, or even overwhelmed by conversations about the last days, this episode will help you approach it all with clarity, biblical truth, and hope in Jesus’ return! In this episode, I sit down with Tracy Onyekanne and Chichi Onyekanne to talk about their new book, Holy Cow! End Times Prophecy Just Got Real, and what the Bible really says about the end times: the red heifer, the Third Temple, the rapture, and how ancient prophecy connects to what’s happening in the world today!

Jesus is not just "a way" to God... He is THE way! I love how my friend, Melissa Dougherty, weaves this important truth into her newest children's book because building this theological foundation is important for the children of the next generation to know. As an expecting mama, I am excited to talk about this topic and encourage adults out there on how to share the Gospel and build theological pillars in the lives of their children and the next generation in this episode.

Sometimes the healing or restoration we long for doesn’t come the way or in the timing we hope. In the final episode of this four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring E for Eternity and how the promise of heaven reshapes the way we hope today. As we live between the tension of “now and not yet,” Scripture reminds us that our story doesn’t end with suffering... it ends with restoration. In this episode, I share how the hope of eternity gives us steady, lasting hope for whatever lies ahead. And guess what? My new book, The Fabric of Hope, talks all about this, and it is OUT TODAY!!

After hurt and disappointment, one of the biggest questions we wrestle with is, "Did any of this even matter?" In Part 3 of this four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring P for Purpose and the hope that God can redeem even our most painful seasons! If you’ve ever wondered what the point of your heartbreak, loss, or disappointment was, this episode will remind you that God wastes nothing. I share how He can weave every thread into a greater story of purpose, something I explore even deeper in my upcoming book The Fabric of Hope, releasing April 7!

Disappointment has a way of shaking our faith when life doesn’t unfold the way we expected... In Part 2 of this special four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring O for Outlook and how our perspective can either deepen our despair or anchor us in hope! When God’s plan looks different than the one we imagined, how do we trust Him in the middle of unmet expectations and seasons of suffering? Hope in Christ reframes our outlook and reminds us that God is still weaving purpose through every thread! I talk about this and more in my new book coming out April 7th, The Fabric of Hope, which you can pre-order down below!

Hope often feels hardest to hold onto when life hurts the most. In Part 1 of this special four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, I begin with the most honest starting point: hurt. When prayers go unanswered, grief enters the story, and life doesn’t unfold the way we planned, we may be left asking, "Where is God in the middle of the pain?" Let's explore how God meets us in our suffering and why biblical hope is not the absence of hurt, but the presence of God within it!

But the truth is that He meets us right there in the middle of it, and helps us to get through what we are going through.
