  • Episode 60: From American Mom of 5 to Missionary [Part 1]

    In Episode 60, Samantha and Nikki interview Jordan Miller, a devoted mother of five from America whose life recently took an unexpected turn towards missionary work.


    Jordan Miller was born and raised in Missouri and grew up going to church and playing in a blue-grass band. She married young and has since spent her efforts in nursing and hospice care loving and helping others. Oddly enough, however, she recalls always being drawn to Africa since she can remember.


    A few weeks ago, what started out as a Uganda mission trip, quickly turned into a new purpose and passion in serving others from WITHIN Africa. Jordan's story is one of courage, faith, and the power of following the call of God, even if it means letting go of everything she's ever had or known.


    We are confident Jordan will inspire you! And stay tuned as Aligned Mommas follows Jordan and her family's journey ahead. May God bless and keep you Jordan and your family! May God work mightily through you!



    "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8

  • Episode 59: Finding God, Finding Love and Giving Up Everything for a Greater Purpose [Part 2]

    Join Samantha and Nikki as they continue their interview with Seth and Maddie Menne. You'll leave smiling, feeling inspired and encouraged to be more and do more while breath still remains in you! We are all called to a specific purpose and all are called to love others. Our hope is that next time you are tapped or feel the tug to say yes to God, that you say YES!


    Or, perhaps you don't know the Lord or have been walking away for some time, remember He is there with arms wide open, waiting for you to come home! Go! Go running back home!


    So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." Luke 15

  • Episode 56: Saying Yes When Called

    Some people are silent heroes - meet Cheri Winchester. Cheri joins the podcast with Samantha and Nikki to share all about her heart for youth in Lincoln County, Missouri.


    Cheri is a wife and a mother of two. It was her position at a local community resource board that led to her discovering some harsh realities about child homelessness in the area, which broke her heart and inspired her to take action! Cheri and her team started a 501c3 called The Key to provide a home to homeless children. The Key serves as a place where teens can finally feel loved, protected, and be reminded that they too still have a purpose! It's a place where, quite frankly, kids can finally just be kids!


    After each teen completes the program, The Key aims to "launch" them into a successful adulthood - and Cheri shares some of her favorite success stories to date!


    Listen in and fall in love with Cheri just as Samantha and Nikki have! We guarantee you'll leave inspired to say yes the next time you are called! Just say yes! :)


    Cheri, we are so proud of you! May God bless The Key and you for all your selflessness!

  • Episode 55: Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks [Agoraphobia]

    From a what appeared to be a normal outwardly appearance, to a crippling burden kept in secret, Tiffany joins Samantha and Nikki to bravely share how she overcame anxiety and agoraphobia. Tiffany struggled with anxiety for as long as she could remember, but it wasn't until her 20s that panic attacks and crippling fear seized her every day life. As a wife and mother of two, Tiffany bravely faced each new day, again and again, over and over, yet found herself facing this giant for years to no avail. It seemed like the anxiety and shakes, and full blown panic episodes, only became worse and worse. Well, that is until she experienced a "BUT GOD" situation.


    You'll have to tune in for the rest!


    We are confident Tiffany's story is going to impact so so many!


    For those of you who aren't familiar with agoraphobia, here is the definition according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: "An abnormal fear of being helpless in a situation from which escape may be difficult or embarrassing that is characterized initially often by panic or anticipatory anxiety and finally by the avoidance of open or public places."
