Why is it so hard to ask for help? Why do we struggle to receive it? And what does it truly mean to offer help in a way that honors God? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we dive into the challenges and blessings of help—whether it's asking for it, receiving it with grace, or offering it with love.

As Christian women, we often feel the pressure to be strong and self-sufficient, but God designed us for community. Join us as we unpack the biblical perspective on help, share personal experiences, and challenge each other to step into both giving and receiving with faith.

Keepin’ It Real Question: Which of the three—asking, receiving, or offering help—do you find the hardest, and why? Send us your thoughts!

How many Facebook friends do you have? Now, how many of them are truly close friends? In this episode, we’re getting real about the illusion of connection in a world where social media makes it seem easier than ever to stay in touch—yet loneliness still creeps in.

We tackle two Keepin’ It Real questions:
 1️⃣ How many of your social media “friends” are actually close friends?
 2️⃣ When was a season of loneliness for you, and how did you handle it?

Loneliness can come through circumstances, life transitions, or simply realizing that your connections aren’t as deep as you thought. We’re sharing real-life ways to navigate those moments and build meaningful relationships that last.

Let’s leave loneliness behind—together. 💛

This episode features Kim Haar, LPC, LMFT, whose new book will be available soon, and Kim Spence-Mullen, a ghostwriter helping people like you bring stories to life through books and legacy projects.

Ever catch yourself thinking, I shouldn’t have said that… That probably sounded weird… They must think I’m awkward…? Those sneaky ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) creep in, feeding our fear of rejection and performance-based fear, keeping us stuck in self-doubt. But here’s the truth: We can never rise higher than our own self-worth.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we dive into recognizing those self-sabotaging thoughts and replacing them with what God says about us. Because when our inner dialogue aligns with His truth, we step into the confidence and freedom He’s called us to.

🔹 Keepin’ It Real Question: When you recognize that you are doubting yourself, what does it sound like to you?

Let’s rewrite the script and start seeing ourselves through His eyes—valued, loved, and enough. 💛✨

Let’s be real—talking about body image can be tricky. Whether it’s weight, height, skin, hair, or something else entirely, most of us have felt the sting of body shaming at some point. And honestly? It stays with us.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we’re diving into the tension between body shaming and body positivity—how our culture, past experiences, and even our self-talk shape how we see ourselves. But here’s the good news: healing is possible.

We’re keeping it real (and primarily pain-free 😉) as we unpack how body shame is often tied to deeper wounds, why a mirror can’t measure our worth, and how we can shift the conversation—not just for ourselves but for the next generation.

In this episode, we ask the Keepin’ It Real question: Do you remember how old you were the first time you experienced any kind of body shaming?

It’s time to step into real confidence—the kind that comes from knowing who we are in Christ. 💙

Join us for this honest, encouraging, and maybe even fun discussion. You’re more than your body—you’re His.

Our worth isn’t found in the mirror—it’s found in Christ. Let’s start the conversation that helps us—and those coming behind us—find true confidence in who God says we are.

Join us for this real, raw, and redemptive discussion. 💙 #KeepinItRealPodcast #YourWorthInChrist

In this heartfelt episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, we explore the incredible power of a mother’s prayers. As moms, we often feel what our kids feel, carrying their joys and burdens in ways that only a mother can. It’s the hardest yet most rewarding job of all, and through it all, we have the unique authority to pray God’s promises over our children—whether they’re little, grown adults, or somewhere in between.

Keepin' It Real Question: Why did we feel this was such an important topic to discuss?

We share our personal reflections on why a mother’s prayers matter so deeply and how trusting the Lord with our children brings peace and hope.

This episode is for every mom who needs encouragement to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep believing in the power of God’s promises. Join us as we keep it real about motherhood, faith, and the journey of surrendering our children into God’s hands.

Is it that simple to turn our worry into worship?! We understand that you're dealing with real life. Whether it's your kiddos, your marriage, finances, health, or the future, there are plenty of places where our thoughts can cause us to get carried away in worry and anxiety.

In this episode, "Turning Worry Into Worship," we'll explore a struggle so many of us face: anxiety.

The Keepin' It Real Question is, "How prone are you to struggling with anxiety or worry?" Do you ever catch yourself filling in the blanks with worst-case scenarios? For example, when you miss a call from a loved one, and before you know it, your mind has written a whole story of something terrible happening.

We'll discuss those moments that overwhelm us and how we can quiet our racing thoughts by turning our worries into worship.
 
Plus, Kim Haar will share a powerful and practical tool she uses to deal with worrying thoughts—one that can help you transform your anxiety into worship and peace!
 
2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us to "take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ." But sometimes, we need to know that it is genuinely possible to do. 

Keepin' It Real with Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen is a podcast for women, and you're always welcome at our table. Join us as we journey through life together.
