S2:E1 Lessons God Is Teaching During This Busy Season
After taking a break from recording, I’m so excited to be back for a new season of Jesus Lovin’ and Animal Obsessed.Life has been full lately. Between being eight months pregnant, raising a toddler, running two businesses, and working toward some big goals this year, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.But in the middle of this season, God has been teaching me something really important: slow down.In this episode I share a passage from Matthew 6 that has been speaking to me deeply and reminding me that God already knows what we need.We don’t have to carry the weight of tomorrow while we’re living today.I’m also sharing three lessons God has been teaching me in this season:• Simplifying your priorities• Setting boundaries and letting go of people pleasing• Working hard while trusting God with the outcomeIf you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t have to have everything figured out.Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is simply seek God first and trust Him with the rest.I’m also sharing about a new project I’ve been working on — a free 5-day devotional called Called For More — designed to help you slow down, seek God, and gain clarity around the path He may be calling you to.You can find the devotional at www.faithfamilyfarmlife.com Please share this with your friends and if you feel called, leave a review 💗

I’ll share scripture, encouragement, and how to relate God’s Word to what we’re actually facing—alongside stories from the farm, conversations about freedom, and the journey of letting go of hustle to make room for God’s plan.Whether you’re in vet med, raising animals on a farm, dreaming of a life outside the 9–5, or just deeply obsessed with Jesus and animals—you belong here.New episodes drop weekly, so go ahead and hit that follow button—and if this podcast sounds like your kind of space, I’d be so honored if you’d share it with another dog mama or faith-filled friend.I can’t wait to walk this journey with you—pawprints, prayers, and all. Let’s do this!
