Looking Up with Kathy and Carla

Carla's mother is nearing the end of her days on this earth, but her lasting influence will be evident because of the dedication she has had to the Bible. This week's podcast is a glimpse into her Bible, her most valuable possession. Carla found some funny things inside, some touching things, some bittersweet memories, and most of all, she found evidence of a life spent in the word of God. We hope you'll benefit from this episode and from the influence of a life well lived.

In this episode, we are talking about some handy tips, tricks and hacks that have been helpful to us, and we think you might benefit, too! What can a spoonful of mustard do for you? How can you make spinach last longer? What can you do with a sock on a hangar? We hope you'll enjoy this casual episode, and we'd love to hear your tips and tricks!

Christians long for heaven to be in the presence of God. He will be there dwelling among us. But so often we find ourselves looking forward to what WON'T be in heaven. The picture of heaven that John gives us in Revelation 21 and 22 gives us so much contrast between heaven and earth with the "no more"s that we find there...no more tears, crying, mourning, and more. We hope this episode will encourage you to keep looking up and keep looking forward to heaven.

Happy summer! In this opening episode of Season 8, we are just catching up with each other and talking about what has been happening during our break!

We can be susceptible to a lot of lies that the devil wants us to believe; for example, "I am not enough." "God is always disappointed with me." "Good moms are never overwhelmed." This week we are talking about things that are not true, but find their way into our minds and hearts and poison us. How can we fight against those lies and, instead, live in the truth that God provides? We hope you'll join our discussion and let us know your thoughts on this topic.

This week we are sharing more of our favorite things...things to eat, to wear, to use, and to share! We are not affiliates or sponsors of any of these things - we only share them because we genuinely like them and think that some of you might also enjoy them.

There are certain phrases and sayings that we've heard all of our lives that are meaningful. Such sayings are common sense, catchy, and often biblical. This week we are talking about some sayings that have been meaningful to each of us, how they have been helpful to us and have aided us in our Christian walk. We'd love to hear some of your favorite sayings!

Cindy Baker is a wonderful friend, a tremendous encourager, a prolific author, an eager missionary, a supportive wife, loving mother, and most of all, a faithful servant of God. We are so excited that she agreed to join us to talk about her interesting life! She and her husband, Aaron, spent seven years living as missionaries in the Vanuatu Islands with their young daughters, but it wasn't an easy decision, nor an easy journey. She explains how she learned to overcome her fears and doubts, and grew to love their home and the people of Vanuatu. She also talks about her books, her love of writing, and her life in ministry alongside her husband. We hope you'll enjoy listening to Cindy as much as we did!

Have you ever done battle with "the green-eyed monster"? Everyone has. Jealousy is an issue that we all face from time to time, and the Bible has much to say about how dangerous and poisonous it is. What can jealousy do to our character, and what are some biblical ways to fight against it? We hope you'll join us for this episode and let us know how you've learned to conquer jealousy!

Everybody loves to laugh, and talk about things that make us smile, and feel more at peace, and remember happy times. This week we're having fun answering some "feel good questions"! We hope you'll join us, and we'd love to hear the things that make you smile, too!
