God created us for friendships.  He wants to see us in community with others.  It is where we mutually find strength and encouragement.  It is where we find those who speak life over us - and us over them.  And we miss out on this beautiful gift when we are unwilling to do what it takes to cultivate these types of relationships.

S1 E20 Building Friendships and Creating Community

Today, it’s all about getting unstuck.  It’s about real, practical solutions that we can put into practice in order to untangle our lives from this energy wasting, joy taking thief that we were never intended to carry.

Are you ready for freedom?  Are you ready for joy?  

Pull on your armor, girl, cause I’m not promising it will be painless, but I promise the pain will be worth the joy and freedom waiting for you.

S1 E19 The Victim Mentality Part 2

Colossians 2:8 says “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”
We are surrounded by deceiving thoughts and ideas - and sometimes it’s hard to decipher truth.
One area that has captured the minds of many Believers is called the Victim Mentality.  So today, we’re going to identify this mentality and take a look at our own lives to see if perhaps, this is an area where we have allowed ourselves to fall prey to this destructive mindset.

S1 E18 Identifying the Victim Mentality Part 1

Have you ever stopped to consider the long lasting effects in our lives brought on by choices we’ve made? Some decisions have little effect while others cause a ripple effect that can be felt for years… even generations.  It’s kind of a heavy thought.  Today, I’m going to tell you about a time a split decision I made left me with a huge mess to clean up.  A mess I was reminded of for years to come.

S1 E17 Quick Decisions... with Long Lasting Results

Sending our kids off into the world can feel overwhelming and scary.   We can feel like Jochebed - placing our babies among the bulrushes of the Nile and praying to God that a crocodile doesn’t find them.  

But I’ve been challenged by God over the past weeks to do all that I can to raise my children for the world they live in.  To both guide and correct them while knowing when to take my hands off the controls.  To empower them.  To spend time teaching them the tools they will need to be salt and light in their communities.  To remember that I am mothering by the power of the Holy Spirit and my prayers for my children carry weight!

S1 E13 - How to Have Hope

15 Steps to building a marriage that lasts.

Marriage is both complex and beautiful.  It requires work to maintain and can be both a source of our greatest joy or deepest pain.  And it’s up to both parties to do their part in making it successful.
Many of us could give a list of reasons why our marriage shouldn’t work.  I know Tim and I could.  But with God, hard work and humility, we have now enjoyed twenty five years of marriage.  And you can too.

S1 E8 Mindset - Take control of your thoughts

Sometimes life's situations and circumstances bring us to a place where we don't want to be. This was the situation Jeremiah was addressing when he wrote those famous words in Jeremiah 29:11.

Today, we're going to talk about what it looks like to build, to thrive, to live in our own Babylons.

S1 E7 Choosing to Thrive when Life is Hard

Marriage, parenting, jobs, ministry… each can be difficult in its own way.. but combined it is definitely character building.

Today, Tim and I continue our discussion on fatherhood and the many aspects that it affects.  So grab a cup of coffee and your spouse and join us for a little heart to heart on these important issues that affect us today and the generations to come.

One more thing, please take a moment to share this on your social stories or text it to a friend.  Marriage and parenting is difficult - and while we will never get it perfectly right, we want to spread hope and encouragement to as many parents as possible - because family and marraige can be the best gift you’ve ever experienced… and our kids’ futures are at stake….

S1 E5 Celebrating Fathers - A Conversation with Tim Part 1

How much does fear dictate your life?  In what ways do you adjust your lifestyle (or your children’s lives) in order to accommodate your fears?

Do you minimize your life experiences in order to pacify the voices whispering warnings from the deep recesses of your mind? It’s easy to do - and hard to acknowledge.

But we’re not here to pacify our fear.  We are men and women of God - we’re parents raising fearless warriors… friends calling friends up to power-filled living.  We’re water walkers.. Today, let’s pull on our steel toed boots and allow ourselves conviction that leads to courage.

Courage that drives us from our place of assumed safety and control - out into the wild adventurous life God custom designed for each of us.

Are you ready?  Let’s do this.

S1 E4 Lean Not on your Own Understanding

Fear is a bully. It terrorizes relentlessly, it’s merciless and if we allow it, it will feed on every thought and action we allow it access to - and as we all know.. What you feed grows.

You were not created to live a life of fear. And the good news is, you can live a life free from fear! I’m living proof. Sit tight - let me tell you my story.

S1 Ep 2 - Untapped Potential - The Power of Prayer and His Presence

Is it really possible to rise above the chaos of life? 

Each day can bring an invitation to drown in the pain of life's storms. But we have a choice, we can succumb to it and determine that we will always be a victim to our situations - or we can learn the power that comes with one simple solution - focusing on Jesus.

Today we talk about what that looks like - how Jesus doesn't always remove the storm, but He can teach us how to rise above it.
