This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim have a conversation about what we set our minds and hearts on. Just like setting the temperature knob on a toaster oven, we can choose where to set our hearts. What does it look like to set our hearts on worship? We intentionally choose to worship God above, lifting our eyes above the things of this earth. Surprise ending!

This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim have a conversation about what we set our minds and hearts on. Just like setting the temperature knob on a toaster oven, we can choose where to set our hearts. God's word has much to say about that; even how we can avoid traps that are set for us. The Truth is our Hope to a life of freedom in Christ.

This week's guest is Lauren Petersen. Lauren is a wife and mother of 4, including twin boys. She is a pediatric speech pathologist. Lauren's journey to motherhood has not been an easy one; she experienced medical issues herself and difficult pregnancies and births.  As she shares openly, you will hear her honest questions to the Lord and see glimpses of grace that held her steady. She truly has a remarkable testimony. 

This is a special one, friend. If you know of someone who has experienced infertility, miscarriage, or other pregnancy difficulties, please invite them to listen. 

We pray you are encouraged by Lauren's story and the grace and faithfulness of our Father on display. 

Thank you for joining us at the table today!!
