Get Ready With God

Sunday's church lesson wrecked me in the best way. A photographer in my neighborhood said: stop chasing the perfect photo and chase the light instead. We're talking about what that means for faith, for life, for the exhausting gap between what we wanted and what actually is, and why joy is still the most rebellious thing we can choose.

Detaching myself from the results of what I create is what enables me to keep going, but last week I learned that maybe I have overcorrected? Let's talk about the dance of staying grounded without dismissing the light. 

This is a LIVE recording of the It's More Fun to Believe Book launch event interview! We don't hold back and we didn't edit so buckle up and enjoy! And get your book here! 

After a trip to the Brontë sisters’ village in England, I started thinking about how rare it is to feel truly understood. What if part of faith is trusting that God already knows us completely. Our strange parts, our creative parts, even the parts we try to hide. Today we are exploring what changes when you let yourself believe that.

What if the answer to your prayer isn’t rescue… but strength? Today I’m wrestling with wanting, waiting, and why God so rarely gives me the miracle in the package I asked for. Maybe deliverance isn’t being saved from it. Maybe it’s being able to endure it. Love you. Bye.

Sometimes the life I want requires things I don’t. The writing career means promotion. The faith I crave means showing up when I’d rather stay home. Today I’m talking about fear, resistance, and why the habits that feel disconnected might actually be the very things shaping us. Not every Sunday feels spiritual. Not every effort feels worth it. But maybe faith is built in the pattern, not the proof. Love you. Bye.

What's your favorite part? I found myself reflecting on what actually feels most fulfilling. This episode is about motherhood, faith, identity, and why sometimes expanding your life instead of fixating on one hard thing is what finally brings peace.

After Valentine’s Day, I found myself reflecting on enduring love, the kind that survives grief, growth, and the unglamorous realities of real life. From my marriage to the love of God, this episode is about what it means for love to “bear all things” and why divine love can hold every part of us, even the complicated ones.

It feels good to be needed! But things get dangerous when our worth is too closely tied to that. Let's talk it out. 

But that doesn't stop me from trying! This episode was pre-recorded and because the perfect evidence to the thesis presented because now I am genuinely in a place of gratitude for the things I was battling when I recorded. Look at that! it works!
