Let's Be Real

Join my friend Shelley and me as we talk about relationships. Who can't use a little wisdom about marriage, children and friend relationships? I think we all can, and wisdom is what you will get in this episode as Shelley shares her many experiences in navigating relationships. Listen in!

What do you think when you hear the word discipleship? Does it sound great, but not for you? You don't have time or enough knowledge to disciple someone? Let's talk about what it really is, and how as a member of God's family we are called to disciple!

Join me and my friend Kristen this week as we talk about trauma. What it is, why it can look like, and practical helps for the church as we walk alongside others who suffer from it. 

We are reading through the bible in a year here at Let's Be Real, and we are in the book of Psalms. I had to stop and talk about one of my favorite Psalms, chapter 22. It is SO COOL! There is so much to see and unpack and we only get to scratch the surface - Listen in 

Songs have a very powerful ability to evoke emotion in us. They get us excited, they make us cry, they help us celebrate and help us mourn. 
I have so many worship songs that I absolutely love and that evoke a lot of emotions, but also don't always speak a whole lot of truth. Let's talk about truth, emotion, songs and what all of our souls long for!

I am joined by one of my greatest friends to talk about lessons learned in 2020 that we hoped are carried into 2021.  

Jessica shares her experience in 2020 and much wisdom gained through it all. I think you will be able to relate and will be able to take a lot away from her! Listen in.

I have lots of dreams, hopes and goals....always! Join me in 2021 by picking a word, or joining me with my first 'word' ever. Lets read through the Bible together this year, let's be ignitied to get moving in kingdom work and grow in our relationship with God. Let's share our stories and testimonies!

Here's looking forward to 2021! 

I love reading the Christmas story from the book of Luke, but I think there are some very interesting details that tend to get over looked. Like who is Theophilus? The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth...why doesn't Joseph get more attention?

Listen in and then join me in watching the Nativity Story this year, because I can't say enough good things about that movie!

THEN come back in January to talk all about our goals for 2021!

We have only a few Christmas traditions in our house, and one of them is a Christmas morning playlist to start waking everyone up, and it begins with "O Come O Come Emmanuel" - a cry for the presence of God, and ends with a song called "God with Us" - which is the Christmas story. Of God sending Jesus to earth to be the presence of God in flesh, to be Emmanuel, to be God With Us.
Let us take this week, and the rest of this Christmas season, to be still and be in awe of the amazing promised fulfilled by Christmas, that we get to live a life WITH God.
Let's be in prayer about the people in our lives who still need to know that they don't have to be alone, but that the presence of God is available to them, through the Savior King.

Who doesn't love the glow of Christmas lights? I think we've all been waiting for them, and some of us have busted them out early! Oh how we long for the beauty of the lights. I believe light represents peace, join me as we talk about having Peace during this season of Advent.
