When Halee got a phone call hours after a routine ultrasound, everything changed. The words "cystic hygroma" and "10% chance of survival" shattered her carefully planned world. But over the months that followed, through weekly appointments, grim statistics, and doctors who suggested ending her pregnancy, she learned what it means to trust God in the unknown and choose life even when the odds seem impossible.

In this episode, I share a powerful lesson that hit me during my slow-and-steady Bible reading journey—one that changed the way I see the story of David and Goliath. We dig into how Satan doesn’t attack us randomly—he targets the very areas where God wants to use us most. I reflect on a personal experience from my teaching days that mirrors David’s moment, and together, we uncover how to recognize these strategic attacks and respond with faith, not fear.

We all want guidance and direction in life, but we also want to maintain control. I learned something powerful standing in a parking lot in Atlanta: there's a big difference between having a navigation system and having an actual driver who knows the route. What if the stress and exhaustion we feel comes from trying to navigate our own lives when God is ready to take the wheel?

Taylor Moore started Tees by Taylor at 20 years old with a newborn baby and a dream she'd been praying about since ninth grade. What began as one t-shirt printer in 2020 has grown into a fully faith-based company that's impacting lives far beyond Alabama. Her story is a beautiful reminder that when we're faithful with what's in our hands, God can do immeasurably more than we imagine.

Two weeks ago, I had a thought I'd never thought before: take your book to market. The problem? Market was eight days away, and my devotional about hearing God's voice wasn't even finished yet. But what if impossible timing is exactly God's invitation to trust Him?

I'm kicking off 2026 with a wild Christmas morning story involving a rogue deer on Main Street and a powerful message from a youth conference that hit me right where I needed it. We're diving into Luke 5 and Simon's response to Jesus—"because you say so, I will"—and how that simple statement of obedient faith speaks to the excuses we all make when God nudges us toward something uncomfortable. I'm challenging you (and myself) to ask what net God is inviting you to let down again this year, even when it doesn't make sense, even when the timing feels off, and even when you're tired from already trying.

In this episode, Alli Hunter and I talk about something we've both been learning: how to make gratitude and remembrance a real, everyday practice instead of just a nice idea. We share tangible ways we're teaching ourselves and our kids to remember God's faithfulness because when we forget what God has already done, fear gets louder. If you've ever felt your faith waver not because God moved but because life just got loud, this conversation is for you.

My friend Kristie and her husband Scott have been through years of infertility, adopting two daughters, and most recently adopting their foster son. She shares the real, honest truth about this road - the heartbreak, the waiting, the surrendering, and the joy that comes from saying yes to kids who need families. If you've ever wondered about fostering or adopting, this will feel like having coffee with a friend who's been there.
