In this week’s episode, I felt led to share from my heart about one of the greatest callings and challenges God has given me, parenting.With my kids starting a brand-new school year, I found myself wrestling with questions we all ask as parents: Have I done enough? Am I discipling them well? Am I pointing them to Jesus in the way I should? In the middle of that anxiety, God reminded me that He loves my children even more than I do, and that discipleship isn’t about perfection, it’s about living in totality with Him, every single day.Deuteronomy 6 gives us clear instructions on how we should parent as believers and in this episode I talk about what it means to train up our kids in the Lord, not just on Sundays, but through the way we live, the conversations we have, and the love they see modeled in our homes.If you’ve ever felt the weight of raising children, wondered if you’re getting it “right,” or longed for practical ways to weave faith into the rhythms of your family life, this one’s for you.Share this episode with another parent who needs the reminder that they’re not walking this journey alone, God is faithful, and He’s entrusted us with His children for a purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 84: Don't Try This Alone
In this week’s episode I’m joined by my girl, Toni Collier, you guys already know and love her!Every time Toni’s on the couch with me, there are lots of laughs, but we also dive deep into the kind of real, raw conversations that bring freedom.

We talked about finding concrete joy after deep pain, and why shame has no place in the believer’s life, and how healing in community really changes everything.From church hurt and divorce, to the kind of vulnerability that disarms the enemy, Toni’s story is full of God’s redemption and joy that can’t be shaken. We share how telling the whole truth, the messy and the beautiful, not only sets us free, but helps others step into freedom too.If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, struggled to trust after betrayal, or found it difficult to be vulnerable with people and wondered how to find joy in the middle of hard seasons, this one's for you.Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that God’s joy is stronger than their pain, and that they were never meant to walk alone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 83: Choosing The Good Portion
Hey Fam! This week’s episode is one I’ve been sitting with for a while, because it’s straight from something God has been working on in my own heart, learning to bring everything to His feet.If you’ve ever found yourself running around doing all the things for God but feeling distant from Him, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, serving, pouring out, checking every box, and still missing that closeness my soul was craving.In this episode, we’re looking at Mary and Martha’s story in Luke 10, and what it really means to choose intimacy before activity. Whether you’re in a busy season, or just longing for more of His presence, my prayer is that this conversation gives you permission to slow down, and draw near.This one is full of gentle conviction, and the reminder that you’re always welcome at His feet. Share this with a friend who’s been feeling tired, or distant from the Lord, they might need this just as much as you do.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 82: The Gift of Godly Community
Hey Guys! This week’s episode is extra close to my heart because I’m joined by someone I know y’all are going to love hearing from — Jordan is on the couch with me! What started as just working together has turned into something so much deeper — she’s truly become family. Our story is one of grief, friendship, discipleship, and the kind of connection that only comes when God brings two people together for His purpose.Whether you're a young Christian trying to walk with Jesus, someone who cares for a loved one with special needs, or if you’ve been searching for real, Christ-centered community — this episode is for YOU. We talk about how our friendship reflects Ruth & Naomi’s story, following Jesus in your 20s — when it’s hard, awkward, or unpopular, caring for someone with special needs while still trusting God’s plan, and how God can use us in our own families and networks to spread the gospel and make disciples.This one is full of God’s faithfulness, and the kind of joy that only comes through the journey. I’m so grateful for Jordan and I can’t wait for y’all to hear her heart! Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement in their walk, their wait, or their relationships.Tune In Now!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 81: Comfort Isn’t the Call
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” - Luke 9:23In this episode, I’m diving into something the Lord has been pressing on my heart: Jesus didn’t call us to comfort, he called us to carry a cross.I share a story that started off as a fun little birthday bike ride… and turned into a full-blown sermon from the Holy Spirit. What I thought would be an easy, scenic trip ended up showing me so much about the reality of the Christian walk, it’s not easy, and it’s not supposed to be.If you’ve ever felt tired, or caught off guard by how hard following Jesus can be, I want you to know, you’re not alone!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
