The Punch Bowl Diaries

Send us a message! Click here!Pray It With Us: The Litany of WaitingFor the first time, we’re inviting you to pray with us.This is an interactive episode of The Punch Bowl Diaries as we pray the Litany of Waiting together. Bring your prayer, your petition, the thing you’ve been waiting on, and say it out loud with us. After each petition, we’ll respond together with prayers of “Deliver me, Jesus,” and “Jesus, I will wait with You.”The Litany of Waiting is a beautiful rhythm of bringing our requests to Jesus while also affirming His faithfulness. It’s a reminder that even when we can’t see what He is doing, He is still working. We can thank Him for the answer before we see it, trust Him in the waiting, and choose to wait with Him rather than simply wait for Him.So find a quiet place, grab your prayer intentions, and pray this one with us. Don’t just listen. Say the responses out loud. Make this your prayer.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!Have you ever felt like you’re ready to move, but God hasn’t given you the green light yet? Or maybe you’re comfortable where you are, but you know He’s telling you it’s time to go?In Numbers 9:22–23, the Israelites didn’t get a timeline. The cloud could stay for two days, a month, or even longer. They simply had to watch for God’s direction and follow when He said move.In this episode, we’re talking about the tension of waiting, moving, staying, and trusting God’s timing. Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing where God is leading. It’s being willing to stay put until He says it’s time to go.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!What if God is bringing something new into your life, but you’re still holding onto the old? In Leviticus 26:9–10, God promises fruitfulness and abundance, but He also tells His people to clear out the old to make room for the new. In this episode, we’re talking about recognizing when a season has served its purpose, letting go of what no longer belongs, and trusting God enough to make room for what He has next.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!In this episode of The Punch Bowl Diaries, we’re diving into the beautiful history and spiritual significance behind this powerful Catholic devotion. The 54 Day Rosary Novena begins on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and ends on October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.We’ll talk about where the devotion began, the story of Fortuna Agrelli and Our Lady of Pompeii, and why the 54 days are divided into 27 days of petition followed by 27 days of thanksgiving.But more than just the history, we’re talking about what it means to pray with perseverance and surrender. To bring the deepest desires of our hearts before God and then trust Him with the outcome. To give thanks before we know what the answer will be.Because sometimes the miracle isn’t that the circumstance changes. Sometimes the miracle is what God changes in us while we wait.If you’re praying for something right now, carrying an unanswered prayer, or simply needing a reminder to trust God’s timing, this episode is for you.Pick up your Rosary, bring your intentions to Jesus, and remember: keep praying, keep trusting, and let God take care of the rest.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!In this shorty episode, April shares a real time example of how the enemy tried to distract and overwhelm her with intrusive thoughts about aging, and how she fought back with the truth of God’s Word.From the Old Testament to the New Testament, April was reminded that the enemy’s lies do not get the final say. God’s truth does. If this episode blessed you, share it with a friend who may need this reminder today. Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!What if the thing you’ve been praying for isn’t delayed at all? What if God is simply giving it to you little by little because He’s preparing you to carry it?In Exodus 23:30, God tells the Israelites that He will drive out their enemies “little by little” until they are ready to possess the land. He could have done it all at once, but He knew they weren’t ready for everything at once.Sometimes God is working on the promise while He’s also working on you.In this episode I’m talking about trusting God’s timing, recognizing progress even when it feels small, and remembering that little by little is still a win. Your slow season may actually be a season of preparation, growth, and increased capacity for what God has ahead.The promise takes time. Keep going. God is still moving.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!Life is full of changing seasons. Some are beautiful and full of growth, while others bring storms, uncertainty, and challenges we never saw coming. In this episode of The Punch Bowl Diaries, we talked with Pastor Marla Stroup from Healing Place Church about what it means to be truly rooted in Christ and why where you plant your roots matters.When our roots are anchored in Christ, we can weather the storms of life without being uprooted by every circumstance that comes our way. We may bend, we may struggle, and we may walk through difficult seasons, but deep roots give us something steady to hold onto.We talk about what it looks like to build a life rooted in faith, how our relationship with Christ carries us through every season, and why the foundation you build today matters when the storms come tomorrow.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!What happens when God finally answers the prayer you’ve been praying, opens the door you’ve been waiting on, and then leads you somewhere you didn’t expect?In Exodus 12:37–39, the Israelites finally leave Egypt after generations of slavery. They know what they’re leaving behind, but they have no idea what comes next. They don’t have a detailed plan, they don’t know where their next provision will come from, and they certainly don’t know everything that awaits them in the wilderness.But they do know one thing: God brought them out.In this episode, we take a look at the journey from Exodus 1 through 12, the ten plagues, Passover, and Israel’s dramatic exit from Egypt. More importantly, we talk about what this story teaches us about waiting on God’s timing, walking through the doors He opens, trusting Him when we don’t have the whole plan, and remembering what He has already done.Hope this encourages you in your current season! Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!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.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!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. 🩷Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!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.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!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.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!In this shorty episode, I’m sharing a passage on staying rooted in the Lord despite your present circumstances. Peter is sitting in prison, chained between two guards, with an uncertain future ahead of him. By all appearances, he has every reason to be anxious, afraid, and wide awake. Yet Acts 12 tells us something surprising: Peter was sleeping.How could someone facing such overwhelming circumstances experience that kind of peace?In this episode, I dive into Acts 12:6-11 and uncover what Peter understood about God’s power, God’s timing, and God’s faithfulness. I’ll explore how God works behind the scenes, opens doors no one else can open, and provides peace even when our circumstances haven’t changed.If you’ve been carrying stress, facing uncertainty, or wondering whether God is still at work in your situation, this conversation will encourage you to trust Him more and rest in His control.If Peter could sleep in prison, maybe there’s something we can learn about peace in our own storms.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!In this week's episode, we're diving into the powerful story of Elizabeth and Zechariah in Luke 1 as they boldly named their son John despite the confusion, questions, and expectations of those around them.When it came time to name their baby, everyone assumed they would follow tradition. But Elizabeth stood firm and declared, "No, he shall be called John," because she and Zechariah were committed to obeying the assignment God had given them. What didn't make sense to others made perfect sense in light of God's direction.Their story challenges us to examine our own lives. Are we allowing the opinions of others, cultural expectations, or fear of standing out to pull us away from what God has called us to do? Or are we willing to walk in obedience, even when our decisions aren't understood?Join us as we discuss the courage it takes to stay true to God's calling, the importance of standing firm in your convictions, and why your divine assignment is too important to let the world talk you out of it.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!This episode is a wake-up call. God is not withholding from you. He’s already placed seeds in your life—ideas, opportunities, nudges, provision. The question is, what are you doing with them?We’re talking about the seeds we leave unplanted because of fear, distraction, disobedience, or simply not paying attention. And the hard truth is this: if we don’t plant, we won’t see a harvest.If you’ve been waiting on more from God, this might shift your perspective. He brings healing, restoration, and abundance—but often through the seeds He’s already given.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!Oh this episode, we catch up with a favorite past guest, Caitlin Hebert. She shares the journey her family is walking as they downsize their home and their life to make room for the new season God is leading them into. What started as a quiet nudge from the Lord became an invitation to trust Him more deeply, release what was comfortable, and step forward in obedience even when the full picture wasn’t clear.If you’ve ever felt God stirring your heart toward change, toward less, toward something unfamiliar, this conversation will breathe so much hope into your spirit. Caitlin’s story is a beautiful reminder that when God calls us to let go, it is always to lead us into something greater.Follow us on Instagram at @PunchBowlDiaries_Podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchBowlDiaries-jb7dqEmail Us: [email protected]'t forget to subscribe to get notified when our new episodes drop every other week.

Send us a message! Click here!This episode is extra special. 💛We’re sharing one of our favorite worship songs, “More Than Able” by Elevation Worship, and opening up about the seasons where we’ve had to stand on God’s promises — even when the waiting felt long, uncertain, and stretching.Waiting seasons can feel quiet, heavy and lonely. But they are never wasted. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to trust that God is not just able, He is faithful.
