Stop wishing your life away, waiting for your problems to disappear.

It’s time to embrace financial self-care and start growing your savings right where you are.

Episode 19 unpacked what it looks like to honor God with your money through giving, saving, and spending with purpose.

Today's episode narrows in on one key area of financial self-care: saving.

Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I’ll save when things settle down,” or “I already save, just not as much as I should.”

Perhaps life feels financially tight, and setting money aside seems nearly impossible.

But here’s the truth: Saving isn’t selfish or optional, it’s biblical.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to be more consistent, this episode will help you:

• Embrace your role as steward, not survivor

• Confront money fear with faith

• Take practical, Spirit-led steps toward savings goals that reflect God’s peace rather than pressure

Because when you align your savings habits with God’s wisdom, you’re not just setting money aside, you’re building confidence, calm, and capacity to show up for the future God has planned for you.

Have you ever made big plans for the year only to find yourself stalled halfway through?

Do you feel like you should be further along by now?

Or maybe you’re still showing up — but something feels foggy, like you’ve lost sight of why you started?

If so, you might be bumping into a common (and sneaky) personal development self-care roadblock.

Hopefully, you’ve been soaking in the slower pace of our Christmas in July series, and if so, you’re in the perfect place for what’s next.

Before heading into the rest of the year, extend the pause just a little longer and do something rare:

Stop in the middle.

The middle of summer.

The middle of the year.

The middle of becoming.

And from that place, you’ll walk through a mid-year reset inspired by a brief encounter in Mark 10:50-52.

Have you ever felt like your emotions disqualify you from being a “good Christian”? Maybe you’ve thought, “If I were really strong in faith, I wouldn’t feel this sad... this anxious... this overwhelmed.”

But what if your emotions aren’t the enemy?What if they’re actually evidence that you’re alive, awake, and deeply connected—to God, to others, and even to your calling?

Welcome to episode four of five in the merry, bright and barefoot Christmas in July series. Todays episode focuses on mental/emotional self-care. 

Let’s take a barefoot stroll through the Gospel of Mark and let Jesus show us what it looks like to care for our minds and emotions... not by stuffing them down, but by inviting God into them.

Remember when summer meant barefoot mornings, sticky popsicles, and running wild until sunset? Now it feels like you’re stuck inside — overwhelmed, under-rested, and wondering why taking care of yourself feels so hard.

You know you should move, drink water, eat something green… but it’s like your body is begging for a break, and all you can offer is another to-do. Somewhere along the way, the fun fell out of it — and you miss her.

In this episode, we’re trading guilt for goodness. What if your body didn’t need another plan — just permission to play again? Come with me — we’re stepping outside, slowing down, and letting summer teach us how to feel alive again.
