“God is God and I am not - and that’s a really good thing”. While most of us understand this phrase, can we honestly say it’s easy to live like it’s true? If we’re being transparent, don’t we really want to control our lives so that it translates to our idea of a happy ending? Today’s guest, Shannon Popkin, author of “Comparison Girl”, “Control Girl”, and podcast host of “Live Like It’s True”, talks about her own parenting struggles that pointed toward an underlying core issue - yearning for control. She discusses how surrender & trust were the key ingredients to reversing the struggle, and shares advice on the “hold and fold” method that has proven so effective in this journey.
Ready to hear about the one thing you CAN control and how to steward it well? Let’s go…
From the platform, page, and podcast mic, SHANNON POPKIN invites you to drink deeply of God’s story, and live like it’s true. Shannon’s books include Comparison Girl, and Control Girl, and she hosts the Live Like It’s True Bible podcast. Shannon has been featured on Revive Our Hearts, FamilyLife Today, The Gospel Coalition, and Proverbs 31.
Shannon is happy to be sharing life with Ken, who makes her laugh every day. Together, they have the joy of watching their three young-adult kids become the amazing people God created them to be.

Listen in to hear practical ways you can stop this chase and cultivate an environment of peace & joy at home and to those around you.

Have you ever heard of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes? Or, maybe you’ve heard it called “FCA”. This ministry has been around for more than 65 years & has spread to over 100 countries! Their mission is to reach every coach and athlete with the gospel of Jesus Christ, beginning in the 5th grade! It’s mentorship in sport form, and today, I get to introduce you to one of Bible2School’s partners, by way of their Mid-Atlantic FCA director, Chris Rich. You get to hear a bit about his own journey with FCA, relish with us in some awesome God stories, and learn how to connect with an FCA near you!
Ready to hear how we can see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches & athletes? Let's go....
CHRIS RICH was born and raised in Frederick, MD. An avid sports fan, he grew up playing football and basketball, and continued his football career at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. After college, he began his journey with FCA as a Local Area Representative, then moved into the Frederick County, MD Director role. Upon moving to Pennsylvania, he served as the PA State Director and now is honored to serve at the regional level. He and his wife Johanna, currently live in Pennsylvania with their 2 boys, Blake and Carter.
"My vision for FCA is something that we could only do together. We want to see athletes and coaches rise up and be Spiritual Leaders in their community. We know that Leaders shape culture and culture creates the next generation of leaders. We believe that if we can reach the heart of the coach and help him/her develop a healthy team culture we will see young men and women come out of sports and influence the world for Jesus Christ.”
