Let’s sit down with my husband, entrepreneur and former professional athlete, Gage, and ask him the hard questions about starting something new. Like…

How do we find the bravery to take the first step?

What’s our strategy?

How do we identify godly counsel and surround ourselves with the right people to help us get where we need to go?

How do we fail forward?

This is a special, extended play podcast that I hope is as helpful for you as it was for me.

Comment with your favorite quote from Gage!

Guess what she said to me?

“You’re stronger than you think.”

If you’re in a season too where you feel weak, let’s take a few short minutes to talk about how we can access new strength in Christ.

​We’ve all heard the phrase “New year, New Me” about one thousand times. But here’s the deal, we don’t really need a new “us.” Why? Because we start things and don’t finish them. We make New Year’s resolutions and forget what they are by February. When the pressure is on us to fix us, we’re fail every time, right? What we’ve been doing isn’t working!

That’s why we don’t need a “new me,” we need a new strategy.

Let’s do more in the new year by doing less.

Is there really “nothing new under the sun” or is God “doing a new thing”?

Can we expect 2025 to hold anything original? Will God actually do something fresh for us?

While there may be nothing new under the sun, Solomon didn’t say there wasn’t anything new from heaven. Let’s talk about the new thing God might be up to in our 2025.

So, how do we know God’s words are true for us? What is our sign?

Sometimes, like the shepherds, we need proof that we actually play a great part in God's story and that His Word is true for us. Even though Jesus is no longer physically here lying in a manger, He is still present, living, and active on earth.

Let’s talk about the sign we’re all looking for this Christmas and how to find it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

In this episode, we’re going to take a moment to identify the weapons God has equipped us with to fight our giants. When it’s hard to give thanks for the battle, here’s how we start to give praise for our unique giftings— our own miracles in the mess of Thanksgiving.

DON’T FORGET— next week we kick off Advent! Grab your copy of “This Will Be A Sign To You” on Amazon as your shopping. We can’t wait to bring heaven home this December.

This is not something I’m proud of…

But I tend to choose grumbling over gratitude.

I can point out a negative over a positive in a second. In times of stress, my world becomes black and white— here’s what’s working and here’s what’s not. There is no in between.

You too?

If you find yourself grumbling today, try gratitude instead. Just try it. You may find that your passive aggressive comments turn into praise, anxiety gives way to peace, and notice the beautiful things in the broken place.

Here’s how to start…

If Thanksgiving is hard this year ...

In seasons of suffering, our thanksgiving is a “sacrifice of praise” (Hebrews 13:15). When my hallelujah is worn out, here are three things I have been so grateful for that carry me through until a strong song of praise is back on my lips…

It would be incredibly easy this week to hop over to a favorite social media outlet to vent, seek solace from a comment section, or leave something nasty in the feed of an outspoken individual with a view that opposes our own. There, take that!

But, what if we didn’t?

What if we allowed this month that is blanketed in the theme of gratitude to actually inspire us to unity instead?

Here are three ideas for how to thank God for someone that is opposing you and allow that to inspire unity.
