Do you have a dream on your heart? Maybe you’ve worked so hard, obeyed God step by step, and you’re beginning to see the fruit. Or maybe you’re still in the waiting, you’ve been faithful, you’ve been patient, but you wonder, “God, when is it my turn?”

In today’s episode, I sit down with Lindsey Ferrell, founder of Ryan & Rose, to talk about the power of surrendering your dreams to Jesus. Lindsey shares how she built a thriving faith filled business while navigating motherhood, obedience, and seasons of waiting.

This conversation is for the mom who:

Has a God given dream but feels overwhelmed by anxiety, doubt, or fear.

Is in the “in between” faithful and obedient, but waiting for God to move.

Wants to hear how surrendering control can actually open the door to peace, purpose, and blessing.

If you’ve ever asked, “Can God really use me in this season?” this episode will remind you that your waiting is not wasted, and your surrender is the very place where God’s power shows up.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Lindsey’s story of building Ryan & Rose while balancing motherhood and faith.

How to obey God with your dreams — even when it doesn’t make sense.

Encouragement for the mom struggling with anxiety, impatience, or comparison while waiting.

Why surrendering your timeline brings freedom and peace.

A powerful reminder that God’s plans are always better than ours.

Christian mom podcast, anxiety and motherhood, overcoming mom guilt, waiting on God, surrender to Jesus, God given dreams, Christian business mom, faith and entrepreneurship, stay at home mom purpose.

Your dream matters, and when you place it in Jesus’ hands, He does immeasurably more than you could ever imagine.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Stephanie Burkhart, founder of Lightly Salted, to hear about her journey being obedient to God in the process of writing and publishing her devotional and starting her business.

She talks about trusting God through some of life’s hardest moments, and how He can turn pain into purpose.

Stephanie opens up about:
Navigating postpartum anxiety and the heartbreaking loss of a baby

Hearing God’s voice in the middle of grief and uncertainty

Starting her business, Lightly Salted, and creating devotionals to help women walk with Jesus in their everyday lives

Overcoming the fear of praying out loud and realizing that God isn’t grading your words, He’s looking at your heart

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have the “perfect” prayer or the “perfect” plan. God knows your heart. He’s not asking for polished, He’s asking for surrendered.

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions?
Dishes. Diapers. Meltdowns. Repeat.
Maybe you’re so deep in the day to day of motherhood that you’ve forgotten who you are. Or maybe you had a pandemic baby and you're still carrying the weight of the isolation, the anxiety, and the “we never got the village” ache.

If you’ve felt numb, lonely, or like your purpose got lost in the mess, or maybe you are asking yourself, "does this season matter?" this episode is for you.

You are not just surviving this season, you’re sowing something eternal. And even in the quiet, unseen, chaotic places, God sees you and has purpose for you here.

Why motherhood can feel lonely, especially after 2020

How to find hope and purpose in the mundane

Encouragement for moms 

The truth about your identity in Christ (not in performance)

What Scripture says about your calling as a mom

Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Proverbs 31:28–29 — “Her children arise and call her blessed…”

Isaiah 40:11 — “He gently leads those that have young.”

Psalm 139:16 — “All the days ordained for me were written in your book…”

Colossians 3:23–24 — “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…”

You don’t need to “get it all together.”
You don’t need to pretend.
You do need a space where other moms remind you:
This season matters. You matter. Jesus is walking with you through it all!

Are you a tired mama craving real connection?
If you've ever whispered, “I just wish I had a friend who really gets me,” you're not alone. Between laundry piles, school pickups, and trying to get 3 minutes alone with Jesus, finding community as a mom can feel impossible.

In today’s episode of Gather the Gals, we’re diving into the power of God-designed community, the kind that actually prays for you, shows up for you, and cheers you on toward your God given dreams.

Whether you're in a new season, new town, or just feel stuck in the same old routine, we’re reminding you that you were never meant to do life alone.

Why friendship feels harder in motherhood (and how to shift that)

What real community looks like (hint: it’s not perfect)

Bible verses that remind us God created us for connection

How to pray for and find your people

Encouragement to show up, even when it’s hard

Hebrews 10:24–25 — “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…”

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 — “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

Galatians 6:2 — “Carry each other’s burdens…”

Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Romans 12:10 — “Be devoted to one another in love.”

✅ Loves Jesus
✅ Isn’t afraid of the messy middle
✅ Prays with you and for you
✅ Calls you higher
✅ Wants to study God’s Word with you

In today’s conversation, I’m speaking to the woman who is tired of being anxious. The one who’s holding it all together, but barely. The one who desperately needs peace.

You are so loved. You are not forgotten. And peace is still possible, even now.

Scripture to hold close:

Do you need clarity? Are you confused on why God isn't answering your prayers? You’ve been praying. Asking. Waiting. Wondering.

You just want clarity, on your next move, your calling, your purpose. But it still feels foggy. In today’s episode, I’m speaking to the mom who feels uncertain. You’re seeking direction, but feel stuck in the in between.

We’ll talk about:

What it means to truly trust God with every decision (Proverbs 3:5–6)

Why journaling your questions to God can be a game changer

How to keep praying through every season, not just the hard ones

What obedience in the small things looks like when the big picture isn’t clear yet

Why you can release the pressure to figure it all out on your own

This is your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. And clarity doesn’t always come fast, sometimes it comes in small, steady steps of trust.

Scriptures to read:

Proverbs 3:5–6

Psalm 37:23–24

Jeremiah 29:11–13

Isaiah 30:21
