Today I wanted to talk about those dreaded waiting periods of life (when God hasn’t said yes or no)…we are just kind of waiting for that green light. So this could be in business, a relationship, pregnancy, a job, a big move or calling or something we’ve been praying to God about for a while. I want to give you encouragement with whatever you're walking through and remind you of what I've been reminded of lately...God's timing is everything.

We're talking about how to keep going when we want to give up. The world is very good at having us believe that is something is uncomfortable, not serving us, not pleasurable or making us unhappy that we should bail. But obedience isn’t always a comfy thing, it’s not always an enjoyable thing but it's crucial in our walk with Christ. I pray this episode brings encouragement in whatever you're going through and please join me in celebrating our 100th episode!

Guest star, Ann McKitrick joins the podcast to talk about parenting and making / maintaining mom friendships!

First, you're not alone, this world breeds chaos. From what's happening in our homes to out the front door, we are constantly surrounded by things out of our control and a deep desire to fix it and have things in order. We were made into it and for it, but sin distorted it. Thankfully this side of eternity we can cling to Jesus and the Holy Spirit when chaos comes. We can trust in the one who created order, gives peace and someday soon will make all things new.

We aren’t supposed to be happy all the time, we aren’t supposed to be positive or productive all the time. Self-help isn’t helpful – because it’s not realistic. And it’s a heck of distraction from reality. Let's talk about it and some Biblical encouragement on this week's episode.

We're back you all! I'm so excited to be returning to the Life In Orbit podcast, with clarity and confidence that I'm probably going to mess this up again in the future...and that's ok. The most important take away is that God is good, all the time. Let's orbit together!

It's way more common than you think. Anxiety is felt by many people and in many different ways. This episode let's talk about it. What causes it, what the Bible says about it and we have 6 practical steps to move forward. I personally struggle with anxiety and I would love to share my story. I pray this encourages and gives you the tools you need to center even this area / habits in orbit to Christ.

Sharon Miller joins the Life in Orbit podcast and shares her new book, The Cost of Control. Sharon helps us discover the real power God has given us in Christ, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives. We break down the cost of control, why we crave it, the anxiety it gives and the real power God promises us.

“Everywhere I looked, I saw anxiety, I saw it in the people in our church, I saw it on social media, I saw it in our politics, I saw it on the news. And once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it, so I wanted to understand what was going on and trace the threads back to what it all meant. When the pandemic robbed us of certainty and predictability, it laid bare an idol that had been strangling us, invisibly, for years. Why is our culture chronically anxious? One major factor is our relationship with control.” - Sharon Miller
