April 11, 2023 Walking with God Through Grief//An Interview with Halley Mastrolonardo
Today I have the joy of welcoming my dear friend Halley Mastrolonardo to the show. She is a wife, mom to 3, and a maker who lives in Boise, Idaho. Her story is one of grief and pain during her twenties that has marked and changed her forever. Enduring loss during such pivotal years greatly shifted her relationship with the Lord, as she so beautifully shares with us in this interview.
If you are walking through grief and suffering, you will be so encouraged by this episode. If you are walking alongside someone who is in the midst of their own grief journey, listen in for ways you can be a support.

April 04, 2023 A Holy Week Reflection
This week’s episode is a little different than our previous shows. As I prayed and thought about what to share with you this Holy Week with Easter so near, I couldn’t stop thinking about our Savior as “Man of sorrows.” We have known so much sorrow over this last week as we consider the tragedy in Nashville along with personal grief and pain in our lives and the lives of those we love.
We talk through the comfort our Savior brings us as we come to know Him as the suffering Savior, and we find hope in the midst of our pain when we trust that He is at work, even when it feels like evil has prevailed.
I pray this episode encourages your heart as you look the cross and we prepare to celebrate the empty tomb. We praise God that He is risen, but we also remember His suffering and give thanks for His sacrifice.

March 28, 2023 Trusting God in the Midst of a Health Crisis//An Interview with Hannah Lugibihl
This week’s conversation on the podcast with my friend Hannah was so encouraging. Hannah experienced a health scare with a BRCA2 gene mutation diagnosis that indicated she was at a very high risk for developing breast cancer later in life and ended up having a preventive double mastectomy. In this conversation, we talked about how to trust God in the midst of a health scare you never imagined would be a part of your story. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

March 21, 2023 Is God good? Really?
Growing up in the church, there was a saying that we all knew how to answer. It goes like this—when you say, “God is good,” we answer, “All the time.” And then you will likely say, “All the time?” to which the answer is, “God is good.”
I want us to think about this for a little bit. As we consider the statement, “God is good,” there may be some feelings that come up for us. In our heads, we may know this is true. But our hearts may be telling us a different story. When we hear this statement, we may feel angry. Frustrated. Sad. Betrayed. Or indifferent.
Today, we get to take a look at why God is good, even when our circumstances say that He isn’t.

March 14, 2023 Is God big enough to handle my problems?
A lot of people may not have said this statement before: “God isn’t big enough to handle my problems,” but they have lived as though that were the reality. If they didn’t have the guts to admit that this is what they were thinking, they may have said something akin to this “If God were real, He wouldn’t have allowed ______ this to happen.” or “If God is real, then why does He allow sin and suffering?”
Today we look at the story of Gideon. God used him to defeat a mighty army. But before he was a leader of a victorious army, he was hiding from the enemy under the cover of night. God saw him and called him a mighty warrior, even in his vulnerable moment of fear.

March 07, 2023 What if God is just like my father?//An Interview with Kia Stephens
What a joy to welcome Kia Stephens to the podcast today! Kia is the founder of Entrusted Women, which aims to increase and create opportunities for Christian women communicators of color. We have been friends online for a few years now and I have been so encouraged to watch her journey and learn from her.
Her passion is to help women identify their father wounds and find healing through Christ’s love. Today is the release date of her book, “Overcoming Father Wounds: Exchanging Your Pain for God’s Perfect Love.” She can speak with authority on this subject because she knows it intimately, and she shares so vulnerably and gently about how to move past brokenness and into wholeness with God as our Healer.
I so enjoyed this chat with Kia, and I know you will, too!

February 28, 2023 Does God actually care about the desires of my heart?
Today on the podcast, we take a look at the story of Hannah in the Bible. This woman was so desperate for the Lord to open her womb that the priest thought she was drunk as she cried out to the Lord in the temple. What did she learn from Him that we need to know when God doesn’t grant us the desires of our hearts?

February 21, 2023 Does God really help those who help themselves?
In this episode, we unpack this statement: “God helps those who help themselves.”
Many people believe that this phrase in Scripture. I was shocked to learn that a few years back, 52% of professing Christians believed that it was a verse in the Bible. Well, there is no such verse, friends!
We have the privilege of resting in the love of our Savior and trusting Him to do what we could not and never could do, which is save us from ourselves.

February 14, 2023 Does God ever give you more than you can handle?
Today, we are going to unpack this statement: “God never gives you more than you can handle.” I’ve talked about this a little online before, but today I want to go a little deeper.
If you can handle everything on your own, why would you need an all-powerful God? Our difficulties and suffering invite us to depend on God instead of trying to do everything on our own.
