Sweet sisters, join us as we sit in a posture of receptivity this week and are reminded of the authentic femininity and goodness in which Our Heavenly Father has created us. 

In a world that skews so many definitions, it may be difficult to understand just what authentic femininity is. However, this reminds us that we need not be better at this or possess that; we simply need to be who we are. The world doesn’t need what you have, it needs what you are. 

Woman, you were created very good. Your best gift is your ability to love. Open your hands and receive today. 

Let us echo our Heavenly Mama's Fiat, her brave "Yes!" 

Join us next week as we talk with our dear brothers in Christ and learn about authentic masculinity!

Hello friends! 

Join us this week as we answer eight crazy questions. Yup, we expose ourselves pretty vulnerably in this one. 

Please join us in the giggles and the fun! You are most welcome here. :) 

Feel free to DM us with your own funny moments! 

Are you a newspaper or shanty type of fire builder?

This week we share some practicals for maintaining and sustaining the fire, so to speak, that happens after we go on a retreat.

Throughout it all, we are reminded that His voice is constant, in the high highs, the low lows, and everything in between.

As Colossians 1:6 reminds us, "In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world – just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God's Grace."

Do not lose hope, dear friend. He never abandons us. The Lord’s voice is the Lord’s voice. He provides us with moments of grace to fuel us for the journey, so that we may never forget His faithfulness.

What have been some moments of grace for you this week?

Please know of our prayers for you. In the meantime, tell a friend about our podcast and give us a like on Instagram! See you next week!

In a world that skews and stains the definition of love, it may be difficult for us to comprehend what a relationship with the Lord entails. Lucky for us, the Lord desires more than just a relationship with us. He yearns for a deep intimacy.

"I belong to my lover, and for me He yearns" (Song of Songs 7:11). Our sweet Garden Dweller yearns for us, friends. May we give Him the space to dwell and tend to the gardens of our hearts this week.

Is it difficult for you to accept love? Perhaps you struggle to feel worthy of such love. 

Sweet friend, we encourage you to sit in a posture of receptivity and allow the Lover of your Soul to pour His divine love and intimacy into those broken pieces of your heart today. 

You are so so worthy. 

What time is it? It’s BWYFA o’clock! 

This week we share a simple, yet important reminder to Be. Where. Your. Feet. Are. 

As you dive into this topic with us, please take some time to pray with this verse from Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give counsel, and watch over you." 

Where are you walking this week? 

How can you more intentionally be present in the here and now? 

What is the "next thing" you are waiting for and how is it robbing you from the joy of this present moment? 

We are so glad that you continue to join us in conversation each week. If you haven't already, give us a follow on Instagram at Living in the Garden Podcast. Catch you next week! 

Hello friends! 

How many of you have made the perfect plan, just to watch it unravel exactly how it shouldn’t?

We all love a good Google Doc, but if we are being honest, sometimes the doc fails. 

Join us this week as we share quite the bust of a birthday, yet marvel in just how good Our Father is in the midst of it. 

For your prayer, we encourage you to sit with Daniel 3:18 where he reminds us "and if not, He is still good." 

Our encouragement for you is to recognize the areas in your life where you can be more fluid, not just flexible. Know of our prayers for you, and we cannot wait to see what the Lord reveals in the garden of your hearts this week. 

Hello lovely humans! 

Join us this week as we jump into the topic of comparison. Yup, we have all been there before and experienced the loneliness and sadness it can bring to our souls to compare ourselves to others. Journey with us through the garden as we recognize and appreciate the beauty that each one of us brings to the Living Garden. 

Here are several of the quotes you can pray with this week: 

"Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect." -Romans 12:2

"What really matters in life is that we are loved by Christ and that we love Him in return. In comparison to the love of Jesus, everything else is secondary. And, without the love of Jesus, everything is useless." -Saint John Paul II

We encourage you to pray with which flower you are this week and ask the Lord to reveal how your uniqueness brings such life to the rest of the garden. 

As always, please know how loved you are! We look forward to chatting with you next week! 

Hello beautiful friends! 

This week we dive into the beautiful topic of authentic friendship. What differentiates an authentic friendship from a surface-level friendship? How do you make and maintain friendships? Well, trust, a good foundation, intentionality, and a willingness to share in both the joys and sufferings of life together, if you want to name a few. Of course, there is a lot more where that came from. 

Here are our quotes from the week to accompany your prayer: 

"God sends us friends to be our firm support in the whirlpool of struggle. In the company of friends, we will find strength to attain our sublime ideal." -Saint Maximillian Kolbe 

"Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one has found a treasure. Faithful friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth. Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; and those who fear the Lord will find them." -Sirach 6:14-16

Which friendships are you most grateful for in your life? How can you strive for greater intentionality with your friends? We encourage you to reflect on that and reach out to your friends this week! 

As always, we hope you can feel just like you are sitting around the table sharing in the conversation with us! Be sure to give us a like on Instagram if you have not already, and DM us with anything you'd like to share about your own experience with authentic friendship. 

See you next week!
