If you're seeking a mentor, would love someone to pour into you, or are praying for someone wise to show up and counsel you...but don't know what that looks like, this episode is going to BLESS you.

Tonya Edwards has been my personal mentor and dear friend for years. Her teaching on generational connections and the power of mentorship changed my life. Now, she's sharing her wisdom that transformed my life - publicly here with you.

Tonya breaks down practical wisdom on what to look for in a mentor, how to approach those relationships with humility and honesty, and why "relational equity" is so vital. One of my favorite moments is when Tonya tells the story of her mother's obedience to God's prompting she witnessed growing up — a beautiful reminder that even the smallest "yes" to the Holy Spirit can change lives.

You're going to walk away with hope and newfound excitement about what real mentorship is and who could be around the corner for you - as a mentor or...mentee. :)

*Trigger Warning: The topic of suicide is a part of this story. It's spoken about through a lens of heartbreak, devestation, and walking through it as a loved one whose lost someone they love. Details about the event are not divulged.* If you've been feeling lukewarm in your faith, had hard things happen that have you question God or are considering getting baptized (including if you were baptized already as a child), this heartfelt conversation is going to stir someone's spirit. While Logan Huff - my dear friend and sister - grew up in church, she describes how her whimsical faith began to change when the hardships of the world began to add up. After years of distancing from God, Logan shares the event that sparked understandably immense anger with God. It was one of the most devestating, awful, darkest things that can happen with a loved one. In the aftermath, her world flipped upside down and found herself isolating. It was from and ultimately through that anger that God drew her back to a relationship with Him. What God began to do after in Logan's testimony is so powerful. The episode delves into the: *The importance and power of community, whether you have trouble opening up now or are praying for friends in Jesus - what is possible *The significance of baptism, including if you were baptized as a child and are considering doing so again as an adult *Very tangible, real examples of resilience that faith brings, both in moments of joy and in trial. In this sincere discussion about living out one's faith authentically, including with and not shying away from addressing some of life's hardest events and devestations, you'll hear: *Logan's Running Journey and Faith *Struggles, from College Years to Hard Events, and Rediscovery of Faith *The Decision to Get Rebaptized *Coffee Shop Conversations and Spiritual Growth *Finding Faith in the Church *Deciding to Get Baptized *The Baptism Experience *The Raw Realness of Spiritual Warfare after Baptism, Why to Not Be Overcome by Fear of That and Resilience *The Power and Possibilities of Christian Community *Final Thoughts and Encouragement

What if you're not behind—what if you're right where God has placed you, on a path towards His vision, simply based on each obedient yes?

Raised by her grandmother, Tiffany grew up not feeling chosen. So she did what so many of us do, Tiffany strove to be perfect. The Good girl. To do nothing wrong. She focused on safety and security. Get a secure corporate job. Climb that ladder. Stay. Safe. Be. Loved.

God had a very different, mind-blowing vision in mind for Tiffany's life.

Tiffany Alyssa Cardi - struggling in her own loneliness and hardships and seeking friends as a single woman in a new town - decided to try something. She had no idea if anyone would show up, not knowing the world was about to be dramatically impacted.

Tiffany's one act of obedience led her to be the founder of Gals That Brunch, a global community movement that started with one morning meal and now reaches over 200,000 women in 155 cities across 33 countries. 🙌

This episode is about so much more than brunch—this is about stewardship, vision, and God's timing. Tiffany shares how God walked with her through media, ministry, and entrepreneurship—including (this was one of my BIGGEST questions!) how she bought an Airbnb in Italy and is now launching her own olive oil company (yes, really 🍈🇮🇹). All while helping women rise into their God-given callings.

In this conversation of hope and encouragement, no matter your past, no matter what your family of origin looked like, listen in on:

✨ The surprising story behind founding Gals That Brunch ✨ Why in-person connection is still so powerful in a digital age ✨ How to navigate faith in secular spaces without shrinking back ✨ What discipline, stewardship, and vulnerability really look like in the daily walk ✨ Tiffany's leap of faith that led her to international entrepreneurship ✨ Encouragement for anyone who feels "late," behind, or like they've missed their moment

Whether you feel God calling you to launch a dream or want to finally feel the hope and confidence of Christ in everyday life, this conversation will stir something in your spirit. It's a reminder that God's vision never returns void—but it does ask for your "yes."

Buckle up​!

Holy Father. Holy Faith. Holy Freedom!

Last year, I wrote an article about the pain of reaching age 32 as a Christian and still being unmarried. Because with all my heart I looked to trust the Lord, to love Jesus, and...slapping verses on my emotions didn't mean I felt constant, hopeful joy in many of the realities and confusions I faced. I did not and will not sugar coat how I felt before meeting my now husband. I was jaw-dropped at the number of messages and DMs I received from that article. It showed something. The loneliness and unique pain of being a single Christian over age 30 is a big deal, and there are silent pains and isolations I felt called to bring into the light. In this episode, you'll sit with me as I share things I really haven't heard talked about anywhere else. *Buying a home single...and how devastating that was *Examples of conversations and sentences that can be so hurtful as a single Christian in your 30s...that feel impossible to admit *Some of the things I witnessed in ministry that weren't wrong and are beautiful, but felt like a proverbial knife again and again *The exhaustion from doing so much of life and decisions alone - for so long *The struggle and question around advice that only focuses on the words "Trust God" - without the other pieces involved Someone today is going to feel witnessed. Someone is going to feel seen. The heartbeat of this episode is you know you're NOT alone. That you are SEEN. Our stories may not match exactly, but the pain of our unique shared experience I sense will still connect us. I pray this episode sheds a light to address some of these shackles. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:54 The Unique Pain of Singleness in Your Thirties 01:24 Addressing the Validity of Singlehood Emotions 06:39 The Impact of Church Leadership on Singlehood Perception 18:22 Personal Struggles and God's Guidance 23:18 The Challenges of Managing Life Solo 26:35 Empathy and Understanding for Singlehood 45:44 Hope and Encouragement for the Future

This week, these words hit me: "Jesus was the ultimate project manager. Jesus project managed miracles!"

Maybe there's a vision or project you can't seem to get yourself to begin or finish. You want to feel inspired and know "for sure" exactly what to do next to make this idea happen, but you feel stuck when you try to move forward.

There are many times it's not that we're lazy...it's that we're overwhelmed.

And when God puts a calling, I've seen this: VAGUENESS KILLS VISION.

That's why I am SO JAW DROPPED at the revelation I had rereading one of Jesus' most famous miracles.

There is a project management and practicality to supernatural goals that Jesus has to offer.

Jesus wants to bring order to chaos.

With real life examples meets Jesus' famous miracle that was amplified by strategic order...get excited. We're about to clean up some clutter, reduce overwhelm and ignite your next, crispy steps so you can move forward with confidence!

"I was so focused on being the good girl...I didn't think things like this could happen to girls like me."

Meet Ashlyn, whose voice is a sweet Alabama balm. And whose story is going to change someone's life.

Ashlyn Carter—incredible wife, mom of 3, entrepreneur, and artist - shares her raw, redemptive conversation about healing from an eating disorder, the cost of perfectionism, and the lies the enemy tries to twist about things we normalize.

Her and I? We had no idea we had Eating Disorders that were ravaging our lives.

Ashlyn suffered from years of hidden struggles with disordered eating, not believing she had one even when brought into partial-hospitalization. She shares the full-circle moment of finally seeking help, the surprising way God showed up, and how Scripture and support carried her through one of the darkest times of her life. We relate and converse on real life details that many people have never heard before relayed regarding eating disorders.

Ashlyn's story and wisdom will meet you right where you are—whether you're in the middle of your own struggle or learning to share your testimony boldly and bravely.

💬 In this episode, we talk about:

• The quiet grip of eating disorders and why they don't always look how we expect

• What Ashlyn learned about herself and about God through the healing process, including the partial hospitalization where she did NOT want to be

• Why Ashlyn's parents, due to the severity of her Eating Disorder, thought she might need to call of her wedding the night before

• The tools that helped Ashlyn recover (in addition to scripture and God, very specific, tangible tools

• The importance of sharing your story after the wound is covered

• Why our testimonies matter—like the specific line Allison heard God speak in the morning before this interview: Matthew 26

🕊️ This episode is a reminder that God doesn't waste a single thing.

No matter what you've been through or are navigating, your journey is NOT in vain.

A quote that most stands out to me from this episode?

"When anyone asks what I am most proud of, that's it. Not because of anything I did but because I survived that season."

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

• Matthew 26:13 – "...what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

• Romans 8:28 – "In all things, God works for the good of those who love Him..."

❤️‍🩹 Mental Health Resources: If you or someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder or perfectionism, know that you're not alone. My prayer is for anyone who feels alone to feel seen and break free. There is so much power in telling someone: To please, with sincerest love, reach out to a safe and trusted counselor, pastor, or mental health professional.

If you've been feeling stuck, lost, or like the doors you keep knocking on just won't open—this episode is for you.

Sat in my Arizona backyard, I felt a vision from the Lord...and that I was meant to share it here. That there was someone else meant to hear it.

Through specific, vivid imagery and gentle encouragement, this metaphor will remind you that God's goodness is still coming, and you don't have to strive for it. You just have to get ready.

We'll explore:

• What this cookie jar vision means for your spiritual journey

• Why old "good" things might be blocking fresh blessings

• The importance of releasing what no longer serves you

• How to prepare your heart and life for what God is baking

• Why waiting doesn't have to mean worrying

Whether you're in a season of transition, questioning, or quiet anticipation, this message will stir your faith, renew your hope, and maybe even inspire you to pour a glass of milk (oat, almond or, you know, cow) and get ready for what's next.

🍪 Change is coming. God is moving. Let this vision bless you in that.

📝 Resources & Reflection:

• Remember the power of asking Jesus, "What do you want me to know?"

• Journal Prompt: What "stale cookies" might God be asking you to release today? What is a way you can wait until you hear that...ding?

6 years ago, Sarah was searching for joy and hope. She became obsessed with self-improvement and finding herself in a spiritual awakening. Wanting to be a force for good in this world, she focused on manifesting her dream life, spending thousands and thousands of dollars on practitioners to get "well".

In the process of manifestation and self help, Sarah found herself sinking deeper and deeper into depression and (TRIGGER WARNING) with thoughts of ending her own life from negative, demonic voices.

Something wasn't working.

Sarah only felt more empty, anxious, and increasingly tormented.

Then, everything changed when she encountered Jesus. From a Direct Message sent through Instagram to a complete 180 transformation, Sarah recounts the peace, freedom, and joy she found the moment she asked Jesus into her heart.

Maybe you've felt confusion about spirituality vs. Christianity or become skeptical about Jesus after a real, hurtful experience from church. Maybe you (like me and my guest) sought wellness and tried to manifest your dream life...only to still feel unwell. This is a raw conversation rooted in such experiences.

Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, you are so loved and held here. This episode dives into:

• The devesatation of spirituality practices that sound good and led Sarah to more depression and unwellness

• What "spiritual awakening" led to in Sarah's life

• The turning point that brought Sarah to Jesus and messaging Allison (Ally) on Instagram

• The radical peace that replaced years of inner torment and demonic attack and what has happened in Sarah's life since

Sarah's testimony is a powerful reminder that Jesus does miraculous work to rescue, heal, and restore. If you've been searching for hope and to finally feel renewed, this conversation may provide deep healing relief, a kind of which I once searched for myself and pray is such a newfound open door today.
