There are moments in life when God quietly begins to stir your heart, and before long, you realize He's been leading you somewhere all along.
In this very vulnerable episode, April shares a major announcement for her family as they begin the journey of converting to Catholicism. She opens up about the prayers, questions, convictions, and gentle nudges from the Lord that have shaped this decision over time.
Whether you're exploring your own faith, curious about the Catholic Church, or simply love hearing stories of God's faithfulness, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Are you still replaying the past? Wishing things had turned out differently? Struggling to let go of a relationship, a mistake, a season, or the life you used to have? I have been there.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the powerful story of Lot’s wife and why one backward glance changed everything. Her story isn’t just about looking over her shoulder. It’s about a heart that couldn’t let go of what God was calling her to leave behind.
God never asks us to move forward while keeping one foot in the past.
Today I’m talking about what it means to release the past, trust God’s direction, and press toward everything He has waiting for you ahead. The past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you.
It’s time to stop looking back and start walking boldly into the future God has prepared. 🩷

Have you ever felt like you're working harder than everyone else, yet nothing seems to fit? Maybe it's not because you're incapable. Maybe you're simply in the wrong environment.
In this episode of The Punch Bowl Diaries, we're talking about the importance of living in alignment with God's purpose for your life. A fish was created to thrive in water. A bird was created to soar through the air. Neither is successful when it's trying to live in an environment it was never designed for.
The same is true for us.
We discuss how chasing the wrong opportunities, relationships, careers, or expectations can leave us feeling exhausted, frustrated, and unfulfilled, even when we're doing "good" things. Sometimes the answer isn't to work harder. Sometimes the answer is to seek God and ask where He created you to flourish.
Join us as we explore what it looks like to pray for direction, recognize God's leading, and trust that He has uniquely equipped each of us for a specific purpose. When we stay aligned with His will instead of our own plans, we discover the peace, joy, and fulfillment that come from living the life He designed for us.

In this episode, we're unpacking one of the simplest yet most challenging instructions found in Scripture: "Do whatever He tells you."
At the wedding in Cana, when the wine ran out, Mary turned to the servants and gave them a command that still speaks to us today: "Do whatever He tells you" (John 2:5). What Jesus asked the servants to do next probably didn't make sense. Filling jars with water had nothing to do with the problem they were trying to solve...or so it seemed. Yet their obedience positioned them to witness a miracle.
How often do we do the opposite? We overthink, question, delay, and search for easier or more logical solutions. We want the full plan before we take the first step. But God often calls us to obey before we understand.
Join us as we discuss why obedience is both simple and difficult, how God's instructions don't always make sense in the moment, and why the shortest path to where God is leading you is often just doing what He tells you to do.
If you've been wrestling with a next step, waiting for clarity, or trying to figure everything out before moving forward, this conversation is for you.
