With Lu

This week was full of real life—from travel, to family moments, to planting a tree in Georgia red clay that reminded me how much work happens beneath the surface before anything can grow.In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been stirring in my heart, the shifts I can feel happening, and what I believe God is teaching me in the middle of it all.If you’re in a season where you don’t have all the answers yet, I hope this encourages you.

This week we’re keeping it light and catching up on real life. From long drives for soccer games, to a weekend full of yard work, to one unexpected mama bear moment… life was full. Somewhere in the middle of trimming dead limbs, I was reminded how the Lord lovingly prunes things in our lives to make room for healthy growth. Come hang out for a fun, real conversation with a little encouragement along the way.

In this episode of With Lu, I’m opening up about body image struggles, body dysmorphia, and the mental exhaustion that can come with never feeling fully comfortable in your own skin. I share how insecurity can quietly steal joy, presence, and precious moments with the people we love.We’ll talk about the lies that keep us hiding, how keeping our eyes on ourselves can distract us from Jesus, and the freedom that comes from remembering where our true worth is found.If you’ve ever struggled with mirrors, photos, outfits, comparison, or believing compliments… this episode is for you.Because you don’t need a different body to start living the life God gave you—you may just need freedom in your mind.

In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure to be liked and included—and what it looks like to start letting that go. After a few moments recently that made me stop and think, I’ve been reminded that not everything is personal. I’m learning to trust that the Lord places the right people in my life for the right seasons, and that when things shift, it doesn’t always mean something is wrong. This is a real conversation about friendship, growth, and choosing peace over overthinking.

In this episode, I’m sharing some real-life thoughts on what it feels like to be genuinely grateful for the life, people, and places God has given you… while also feeling tired and stretched thin. We’re talking about busy seasons, burnout, serving, springtime overwhelm, and learning how to stay faithful without running on empty.

This week’s episode is extra special because my daughter is with me, and we’re having a real conversation about what happens when God changes the plan. We talk about disappointment, surrender, and the sweet ways God shows His faithfulness even when life takes an unexpected turn.

My son’s first varsity soccer game was against our biggest rival… but the real lesson came later that night when the Lord quietly checked my heart.This weekend was full of soccer, family, and a lot of emotions. As alumni of the school my son now plays for, our family was definitely invested in the game.But later that evening, when everything got quiet and I was sitting alone, the Lord gently showed me something about my heart that I didn’t expect.In this episode, I’m sharing what that moment looked like, what God showed me through it, and why those quiet moments with Him matter so much.Because sometimes the biggest lessons don’t happen in the middle of the noise… they happen in the quiet afterward.Life is real… but God is faithful.If this episode encouraged you, I’d love for you to follow the podcast and share it with a friend.

In this episode of With Lu, I’m sharing what it really means to keep showing up — in the joyful seasons and the hard ones. From celebrating my son’s first varsity soccer season to walking through a difficult season when Zac was losing his vision and working whatever jobs he could find, we’re talking about faithfulness that isn’t flashy. Sometimes obedience just looks like staying. If you’re in a quiet season, this one’s for you.

In this first episode of With Lu, I share why this podcast has been on my heart for years, what kept me from starting, and how sometimes obedience begins with just one small step. If you’ve ever delayed something because you didn’t know how, this conversation is for you. Life is real, and God is faithful — even in the figuring-it-out seasons.
