Today is my birthday episode and in honor of turning 31, I wanted to share some of the most impactful life lessons that I have learned as a Christian, friend, daughter, sister, mom and wife in the last ten years.

As I look back, I am so thankful for the hard, for the good, for the forced humility that has turned into joyful humility, for the pruning of my faith and the struggles in my relationships. They have made me into the woman I am today.

I have to be honest and say that I am probably more excited for the next few years than I've ever been. I am so thankful for where God has me and for the opportunity to share this life with all of you - the good and the bad. I love you all!

Social Media is all-consuming, isn't it? We often spend more time scrolling through the lives of people we've never met more than we invest in the lives of the people most important to us.

On today's episode, "Do You Need a Social Media Heart Check? with Lindsey Maestas" I am asking some hard questions to challenge your addiction to social media and your phone usage.

I challenge the idea of over-editing photos, investing into online relationships more than the real ones, the danger of setting aside your time with Jesus for time with your phone, and so much more!

Once you finish this episode, I encourage you to listen to one of my all-time most downloaded episodes: Episode 07: '6 Ways Your Phone is Changing You.'

Most women spend so much time thinking of others and the gifts that they need to purchase that they end up forgetting all about themselves. So I'm here to help! :)

I thought it would be a fun to create a quick list of gifts that include my own personal can't-live-without items (like the Free People Lace Bralette and my ESV Study Bible) as well as a list of what I'm asking for for Christmas this year (like more GymShark leggings!)

I'm including home decor items, favorite books, high-quality clothes that I love, kitchen go-to's, gift cards for the clothing store that I've now convinced all of my friends and family to shop from because it's SO GOOD - and so much more!

Caroline Harries has been battling infertility for 8 years and deeply desires to grow her family. On today's episode, she shares her own story, offers practical wisdom in our Q&A style interview and discusses her unwavering faith in God's plan for women struggling with infertility.

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to discuss such a REAL and difficult topic with a woman who has been in the thick of the loneliness and heartache that infertility brings, yet continues to lead women with faith and hope in Jesus' perfect plan for their lives.

Caroline Harries founded Moms in the Making: a faith-based fertility support group. She continues to believe for her own miracle of children & is so passionate about cheering other women on while also giving them that sense of comfort and understanding that they need in a season of waiting, pain and loneliness.

I asked Caroline questions that came directly from women who are currently struggling with infertility. She answers questions like:

Is infertility from God?

Am I not fit to be a mother?

When did you accept the fact that it's time to stop trying?

What are some things that people have done or said in the midst of your infertility that actually helped? And what hurt?

We also discuss IVF, adoptions, God's faithfulness and so much more.

My friend, Blake, from Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast is filled with wisdom and boldness and she is unashamed to share that with the world.

This discussion began as one where we were discussing difficult people and the consistent rhetoric that we're reminded of in the church: to forgive 70x7 and to turn the other cheek. These are good and righteous things! We aren't dismissing that.

But as we dig in to dealing with toxic and harmful relationships as a christian, we discuss what that response can and should look like.

We talk about what righteous anger should look like, Jesus' boldness and how He responded to "haters", we share our own personal conflicts and how we failed and learned from those. We discuss gossip, prayer, grieving over the loss of friendships and so much more!

Grammy-nominated artist, Kari Jobe, has a passion for Jesus and for worship and that love flows over into her day-to-day life.

On this episode, we are talking about motherhood and leadership in our homes, faithfulness in the church and the heart that we have to exemplify that to our families. Kari opens up about praying in those difficult seasons of life and she answers the question, 'Why do we pray if God is sovereign?'

Her new album, The Blessing, is the perfect depiction of the verse Isaiah 61:3. She and I discuss how this project is 'beauty from ashes and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.'
