Unfortunately, our lives have become riddled with anxiety. If you have never struggled with it yourself, you probably have a friend or loved one who has. It can be overwhelming, and consuming, but none of us has to be alone in dealing with it.

In this mini-series, my hope is that you will hear truth, compassion, and learn some new skills. It might be skills to cope with your own anxiety, but it could be a chance to learn skills to help a friend or loved one.

My special guest this episode is Kimberly Haar. Kim is a licensed therapist, author, and speaker with nearly two decades of experience in trauma recovery and marriage and family therapy. Blending clinical insight with deep faith, she helps others move from pain to purpose. Drawing from her own story of healing, Kimberly shares a message of hope and restoration, reminding others that with God, no story is too shattered to be rewritten, and no life too broken to be beautifully restored.

Radiance: an expression of great happiness, hope, or beauty; light that is emitted or reflected from someone or something

1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." 

Clearly, God desires us to encourage one another - build one another up.  We are to bring hope, joy, perseverance and faithfulness into each other's hearts and lives.  To speak life and bring radiant light to believers and nonbelievers. In this series, you'll get to hear uplifting conversations as I talk with faith-filled women about encouragement.

In the final episode of this series, I got to chat with my dear friend Ashley Martin. Here we talk about the Biblical need for community, our struggles with it, and why it can have such an impact on our lives.Want to hear more of Ashley's story? Go back and listen to 'Wilderness' from the spring of 2025 in the Lent series.

This has been a season that offered us a chance to intentionally, willfully, set Him as first. To recognize God’s sovereignty, His holy position in our lives and to repent of our idols that have stolen our hearts.

If you missed an episode, go back to listen as I chat with friends about how God invites us to lay down idols in our lives, how we walk through wilderness times with Him, and the power to be found in repentance.

In this final episode in the series, we look toward the redemption God offers us. We will look through the Gospels and hear from three women and a piece of their God-stories.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

This Easter, may your heart be filled with the hope and faithfulness of the God who has never given up on you, has never left you, and has given everything to get you back.

Prayer: (Breathe In) Risen Lord, (Breathe Out) you are with me
