Learning to LOVE YOURSELF (Proverbs 31:29-30)
You’ve spent enough time believing you need to be thinner, prettier, more successful, more desirable, more SOMETHING before you’re finally allowed to feel worthy. But, who taught you that?

The Prayer That ALWAYS Works (John 15:1-2)
You know that one person (or situation or thing) you keep going back and forth on, wondering if they actually belong in your life?

When They Question Your FAITH (1 Peter 3:15)
You don't need a theology degree or a perfectly memorized Bible verse to talk about your faith. But, if somebody asked you today why you believe what you believe, would your answer come from conviction... or would you stumble, step back, or even freeze? In today's episode we talk about being...
-
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME, GOD? (Job 2:6-7)
This is especially for the girl, who keeps getting hit after hit after hit, and asking, "WHY, GOD? Why would you let this happen to me?" Or maybe you're just a little disappointed, sick, heartbroken, or wondering why God is letting something like this consume you. In this episode, I look back on...
-
Have You Outgrown the Friendship? (Proverbs 20:19 - What the Bible Says About GOSSIP)

GOD SAID GO! (Isaiah 6:8-9)
You've been feeling the unavoidable tug on your heart to GO FOR IT, yet you also keep finding one more reason why this isn't the right time or why you're just not ready. There's a fine line between caution and resistance, but what are we really saying to God when we keep refusing His call? Bible...

Are You Letting God Lead? ( 1 Kings 2:2-3)
You can love God, pray every single day, and still be doing the absolute most to stay completely in control of the one area you’re begging Him to fix. If you’ve been white-knuckling the plan, the relationship, the money, the timing, or the outcome, this episode is a big hug for me and to you....

Choose Your Words Carefully (Proverbs 18:21)
There are words you're using every single day that you don't even realize are adding weight to your already heavy load. In this replay, we're paying extra close attention to the seemingly harmless phrases and filler words that may accidentally be reducing our confidence and even keeping us from...

Praying WITH Your People ( Matthew 18:19)
My friend Aliha is in town today, which felt like the perfect opportunity to replay her episode where we talk about praying with your partner (and also with and for your family, your best friends, and your favorite people). This is one of my favorite prayer practices that has improved my...
-
God Will Give You The Words (Jeremiah 1 : 9)
I'm on the road this week, so I thought this LIVE that I did ahead of going on stage would be the perfect replay to help anyone struggling with words or knowing what to say remember that God is here to rescue you, especially when you feel most incapable or unqualified. If you have a big stage or…

Stop Putting Life on Hold (Jeremiah 29:5-7)
This is for those of you who have accidentally put your lives on pause while waiting for God to explain the next chapter. You're not sure what to do, so you freeze, afraid God's plan might miss you. This is especially hitting me before the wedding, as I wrestle with ambition and my plans for...

What Does God Have Planned For Me Next? Feat. Doug Wekenman (Jeremiah 29:11)
You keep asking God what’s next, waiting for the sign, the answer, the open door, the voice, something, ANYTHING that makes the decision so blatantly obvious. And then, silence.... For what feels like forever. Pastor Doug Wekenman joins us to talk about just that. Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29 : 11…

When You Hate Your Job (Colossians 3:23)
It’s easy to blame the job, the boss, the kids, the customer, the chores, the schedule, or the market on why this season of you feels a little checked out or a lot burnt out. But sometimes, we're not actually run down by the work itself, but because we're running on empty from something so much...
-
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE (Matthew 21:22)
There is a difference between thinking about prayer and actually stopping in the middle of the mess to pray. Not later. Not once has everyone calmed down. Not after you’ve already spiraled, snapped, overexplained, or tried to fix it yourself. If there’s an area of your life you keep trying to...
-
THAT AIN'T YOUR HUSBAND (Ephesians 5:21-28)
If you've been handing out WIFE behavior to someone who hasn't made it obvious that he's ready to be your husband, this episode is for you. You're spending the night, planning a whole future in your head, maybe even doing his laundry -- and you're still not even sure where this relationship is...

How a TRUE FRIEND Loves (Proverbs 17:17)
Not every friend is meant to stay in your life forever. In this episode, we talk about the difference between someone who is just here for a good time versus the one who is here to stay, PLUS the challenging reality that comes with that friend who really loves you, knows you, and knows GOD too.…

Open Up Your Dang BIBLE (John 1:1)
If you’ve ever wanted to read the Bible but immediately felt confused, intimidated, distracted, or just DUMB this replay is for you. Because podcasts, devotionals, sermons, and Bible studies are beautiful starting points, but they were never meant to replace actually getting to know God and His...

When Your Soul Feels OVERWHELMED (Matthew 26:37-38)
This is especially for you, if you're feeling overwhelmed and especially if you're feeling ALONE. (Maybe phrases like, "Nobody else can relate" or " You wouldn't understand" or "It's fine, I can just do this by myself" have floated through your mind or out loud to those around you.) This episode…

FOR THE SINGLE GIRLS (Proverbs 3:5-6 James 1:2-4 1 Peter 1:6-7)
This replay is especially for (though not limited to) the SINGLE GIRLIES. It feels like everyone else is getting the ring, the baby, the answer, the blessing, or the life you thought would be yours by now. In this episode, I GET REAL with some of my crying on the bathroom floor stories, as well…

Your HARVEST is Coming (Galations 6:9)
You've been at this so long that rejection started to feel more normal than a win ever could -- the job, the dates, the door that just keeps NOT opening. This is the RESET for when you're so ready to give up (and you're gonna wanna put this one on REPEAT for the hard mornings). Bible Verses:...
-
Bring the JOY (feat. Jessica Janzen)
Bringing the joy does NOT mean pretending everything is fine when it's not. In this replay conversation with Jessica Janzen, we talk about following God’s nudges, grief, motherhood, marriage, and the holy courage it takes to bring joy into rooms most people only know how to enter with sorrow.…

Walk in the Way of LOVE (Ephesians 5:2)
You think what you want is a man who will fight for you, but what you need it someone who truly understands (and appreciates) the responsibility of loving you. In this replay, we're talking about what a righteous man really looks like and what it really means for a man to get down on one knee....

When You Can't Sleep (Psalm 91)
You didn't even realize how much you actually had on your mind until your head hit the pillow, and ALL the thoughts came racing in. This especially for the girl who is overthinking, especially-especially if you're feeling super alone in your battle. God doesn't promise us a life without danger,...

When You're TOO BUSY for God (Matthew 6:33)
We keep asking God to show us for answers, clarity, and what’s next, and it's so easy to accidentally be looking and listening everywhere and everyone else first or above Him. In this episode, we're talking about those busy seasons, the uncertain situations, and non-stop days (and weeks and…

HUSBAND Privileges (John 4:16-18 - The Woman at the Well)

Don't Be a RICH FOOL (Luke 12:21)

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER (Luke 15:20 - The Parable of the Lost Son)
This is especially for you if your relationship with God has been, well, COMPLICATED. Maybe you've wrestled, rebelled, or ran far away with resentment; maybe you're inconsistent, questioning all of it, and have your walls up with trust issues; maybe you're brand new and don't really know you're…

Why Are You So AFRAID? (Mark 4:40)

TIL DEATH DO US PART (Romans 12:10)

-
The Excuses Keeping You STUCK (Proverbs 12: 1)
