Trigger warning: We briefly mention abuse, miscarriage, and loss.
What's the difference between happiness and joy? What do we do when life is too hard to handle? How do we reclaim our joy when life has knocked us down? Nicole Jacobsmeyer, author of "Take Back Your Joy" is sharing with us her vulnerable testimony of loss, abuse, and healing to point us to the hope and joy we have in Christ, regardless of our circumstances.

Who's ready for some serious talk? I'm shedding some light on the past six months and how I've been doing personally and what's been going on in our family - highs, lows, joys, anxieties, and more. My mom gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice about living presently and not worrying about the future, and I wanted to share it with you and how God has been changing my perspective. Tune in for a conversation about how to rely on God's daily bread, the secret to living present, and not letting anxieties about the present or future derail us from what's right in front of us.

The Key To Stopping Your Negative Thoughts From Spiraling with Dwell Differently

No one talks about how hard friendship breakups are. I'm getting vulnerable and real, sharing a friendship breakup story that is still so tender. If you've ever been hurt by a friend, lost a friendship, or don't know why someone cut you out of their life and what to do about it now... this episode is for you. We're getting real about what the Bible says about "moving on" from friendships, what to do if forgiveness is one-sided, and so much more. Most of all, I hope we can all learn how to be a better, biblical friend.

How Your Story Fits Into God's Story with Courtney Doctor

Throwing it back to three years ago on the podcast when I interviewed one of my favorite friends, Gretchen Saffles of Well-Watered Women. If you've ever thought, "What the heck do I do with what I just read in God's Word?" or "I'm always so confused reading Scripture", then this is for you. This throwback conversation has no shortage of practical tools to take you from overwhelmed to overjoyed when reading Scripture, funny anecdotes, and a few cringy moments (I've grown a lot in my podcasting skills over the last three years). Let's be women who root ourselves in truth, grow in grace, and flourish in faith!
