Many Christians want to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus, but when it comes down to it, are we willing to pick up our cross and follow Him — even through pain and suffering? Today we’re chatting with my precious friend Ebie Hepworth about how bringing our honest, messy hearts to the feet of Jesus is what forges a faith that lasts. I can’t wait for you to hear her story and all the wisdom she shares in this conversation!

Does God actually stretch our capacity for more? I used to hear people praying that prayer, asking God for more, for greater things in life and ministry. While I don’t think it’s bad to ask God for more, I do wonder if we are on the same page as Him. If our “more” is the same that He has in mind for us.

What if instead of stretching our capacity, maturing in faith looks like becoming a better steward of it? Maybe our limitedness isn’t something we should strain against, but a gift — an opportunity to embrace the truth that apart from Him we can do nothing. I’m sharing thoughts on all this and more, including 3 ways we can become better stewards of our limitedness in partnership with God.

Today’s episode is a little different. My friend Molly Wilcox (who you might remember from episode 24) had me on her podcast, Holy Labor, to share about my experience with faith through pregnancy, birth trauma, and healing in motherhood. We discuss the hard, hidden moments of motherhood that we sometimes feel alone in, and the raw moments of honest faith along the way. I loved our conversation, so I wanted to share it with you over here as well!

TW: I share details about my miscarriage in this episode.

Lewis’Screwtape Letters, but written specifically for women. In this episode, Tilly shares her inspiration behind the book and her heart for addressing these often-overlooked struggles among Christian women. We talk about the enemy’s key strategies to target our faith, the importance of staying vigilant in spiritual warfare, and practical encouragement for any woman who feels defeated or weary in the fight.

Today we’re chatting with Paige State McBridge about EMOTIONS, but probably not in a way you’ve ever heard before…

Paige shares her personal journey and the inspiration behind her book, In Weeping and Rejoicing: Emotions in Theology and Life, which offers a biblically grounded perspective on understanding and navigating our emotions as believers. We explore what Scripture reveals about our emotional lives and how the Gospel speaks to mental health.

Paige sheds light on practical ways to develop a healthier emotional life rooted in faith. We also discuss the importance of embracing both the highs and lows — "weeping and rejoicing" — in a way that honors God and allows us to be fully present with Him in every season.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to handle your feelings or want a fresh perspective on emotional health from a Christian perspective, this conversation is for you!

A lot of people look at tragedy, disaster, sin, and all the brokenness of the world and say, “If God is so good, how could He let all of these bad things happen?” I’ve asked that question so many times myself, and while I don’t have answers, I did find a new question to ask:

If our world is so broken and messy and full of hate, destruction, evil, and sin, how could such a good God choose to come to us right in the middle of it? Why would he give up everything to save us? Why would he love ME that much? Let’s break it down in today’s episode!

Today I’m excited to introduce you to my friend, Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez! Pri is the author of Being a Sanctuary, a book that explores how we, as believers, can make the Church a sacred, soft, and safe space for all.

We dive into God’s heart and vision for the Body of Christ, the red flags of unhealthy church environments, and how the enemy works to take out the Church. Pri also offers practical advice for how we, as believers, can cultivate a holy and healthy culture in our churches.

If you’ve ever been hurt by the Church or feel tempted to give up on it, you won’t want to miss Pri’s encouraging and grace-filled words for those in a season of disappointment. Let’s discover together how we can be part of building a sanctuary in the Body of Christ!
