Mom Guilt

The mom guilt cycle is REAL. Especially when you have a toddler and you’re trying to learn how to consciously parent. Even when you don’t have all of that on your plate, the cycle of guilt is real and sometimes you just need permission to set boundaries and break that cycle.

5 Days of Miracles

I’m sharing a beautiful story of how God so tangibly and evidently worked in our lives, 5 days in a row. I believe this was for a few different reasons but one of the most important was so that I could share and hopefully encourage anyone with our testimony to see the goodness of God. Everything isn’t good all the time, but He is good all the time.

Quiet

Even in the busiest moments, God is still with us. He doesn’t require quiet to speak. I encourage you, if you’re in a season of fast and loud, ask for peace and ask for Him to speak even if it’s not quiet. You may be surprised just how much you hear.

Where Faith + Health Collide

God made our bodies, He made our minds and He made our hearts and He cares about all of them and how they work together. Sometimes we focus in on one area so much that we forget the others exist. Today I’m excited to be interviewing my friend Lauren, of @laurenrachellefitnes. She is sharing her journey with health and how her relationship with God has influenced it over the years. This is such an encouraging episode if you’re struggling in any way with your body image, sense of self worth or you just need a little encouragement on how to get started or get re-motivated in your fitness journey.

Give Life, Not Gossip

Gossip. This is quite literally the last thing I wanted to talk about but I know if I asked all of the women in the world to raise their hands if they struggled with gossip, they’d all raise their hands (or at least the honest would). This is NOT a topic I wanted to talk about because I have been a horrible offender of this specific sin. But I know God wanted me to dig into this topic and share what His word has to say about this. So let’s do it. Let’s commit to holding each other accountable!

Voices

In the midst of political unrest and a lot of spiritual warfare, a lot of us feel unsettled, isolated and defeated. I want to encourage you today to use your voice and if you feel like you’ve lost it, get it back. I want to speak truth over you to replace the lies that you might be starting to believe. Most importantly, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

Standing In “Silence”

Standing In “Silence”

It seems like every week there is a new issue at hand that if we don’t speak up & out about- we are deemed problematic or *insert derogatory term* simply because we aren’t posting on social media or participating in whatever action has been deemed necessary to check off that box that day. It’s exhausting and everywhere we look, including in the church and among believers, we are seeing division. I want to talk about this and I challenge you to listen in and hold yourself accountable to how you’re handling these situations and how you’re treating others in the process. I believe that you can stand in “silence”, listen in and let me know what you think.

Unstable Ground

Life is predictably unpredictable. Circumstances come and go that shake us to our very core. Our emotions flip and flop and life can feel very unsteady most of the time. Thankfully God sees us and does not abandon us- in fact He provides an unshakeable foundation if we choose to root ourselves in Him. Tune in to hear my story and hear what God has to say about being in these seasons and how we can rely on Him to get us through.
