We are all looking for peace, right? When it comes down to it though, what keeps us from experiencing peace is either living in the past or living for the future.

We bounce back and forth between rehashing a past we can't change and worrying about a future we can’t control. And the result? We miss what God has for us here and now.

But today, author Jeanne Stevens shows us the shockingly simple path to peace: Presence. She’ll help you slow down, center yourself, and ask the all-important question, “What's here now?”

We all live with some sort of longing—a gap between the life we want and the life we actually have. As we navigate this gap, we try to hang on to the hope that God will change our circumstances or fulfill our desires.

For some, those prayers are answered. Yet for others, the longing persists, making us weary at best and debilitated at worst. So, how do you find joy in this life when it isn’t the life you hoped for?

Author and Bible teacher, Elizabeth Woodson, shares how you can find joyful living in that gap. She’ll take us to the Old Testament book of Joshua where we’ll learn to accept reality, find contentment, and live with joy.

Questions about how to deal with silence from God, how to fit in as a single woman in the church, and how to know your purpose in life.

Oh, girl, our time at the bistro table was rich and meaningful, and we saved you a seat! So, pull up a chair, and let’s spill some beans.

Do you feel like you have to be the best at everything? The best mom. The best wife. The best sandwich-maker. Or even the best Christian?

Today’s guest, author Scarlet Hiltibidal, knows exactly what it’s like to constantly strive for perfection. For Scarlet, trying to be the best at pretty much everything was her life story. But now, she has learned to give up on perfect and embraced grace instead.
