Who is the boss of your mornings? Do you drag yourself out of bed, running late before you even started? Do you wake up to the demands of your kids or work? Are you scrambling to get everything done before you head out the door?

It's time to take back your mornings!

In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, we're excited to bring you mornings expert Kat Lee! 

Kat is passionate about teaching others how to jump-start each day with a grace-filled, life-giving morning routine. She is the author of the Hello Mornings book, a speaker, podcaster, and the founder of HelloMornings.org. She and her husband, Jimmy, live in Waco, Texas, with their three children.

We kick off the episode chatting about how to remodel our morning routines with the simple three-step Hello Mornings plan followed by digging into Psalm 143. That passage opened up all sorts of conversation about what to do when we're struggling in our faith and routines. Kat brings us examples filled with Biblical truth and hope.

You'll notice this is a long episode that was impossible to break into two parts since each thought carried into the next. You won't regret listening all the way to the end, as Kat helps us think about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

What is your natural response when you've prayed and prayed and waited and waited, but God's ways don't match your wants?

Do you struggle to surrender to the Lord's plans for your life?

In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, we're joined by former co-host and dear friend, Angela Sackett for a chat about surrendering to the Lord's plans. We do spend a good time talking about releasing our adult children to the Lord, since we've already experienced releasing our dreams, our homes, our careers, and callings. But this episode isn't just for moms! It's for all of us to lean into God's purposes and join together in the journey of trusting God with our best.

Just a head's up that this one is a long one, as you know what happens when Angela and I get together! There just was no breaking point, especially as around the 28-minute mark, I dove right into sharing my struggle with anger and how I've found hope in God's redemptive hand. And, in case you want to see our dogs, you'll have to check out our Instagram feeds to catch glimpse of Olive and Toby.

The founder of More to Be and your host of the podcast, Elisa Pulliam, is joined by friend and special guest, Jennifer Dukes Lee, for a power-packed discussion about our identity in Christ. They wind their way through the Scriptures, looking at what it means to be "the one whom Jesus keeps on loving" and how that changes everything about how we live and trust God more. This episode is packed with hope, wisdom, and a good laugh about mammograms . . .

There's not an off-ramp for metrics. You're groomed on the on-ramp. - Elisa

Maybe your 40s is your off-ramp season . . . when you come to terms with the answer, "no." - Elisa

Jesus was the defining relationship in John's life. - Jennifer

We will always surrender our lives to the defining love or influence in our life. - Jennifer

What is the defining love and influence in your life? - Jennifer

If we love anyone or anything more than God, then that is our idol . . . that is what we are a "disciple" to. - Elisa

Are we going to sit next to Jesus, secure in our identity or looking a Jesus from afar? - Jennifer

Beloved: The disciple whom Jesus keeps on loving. 

We are the ones Jesus keeps on loving. - Jennifer

You are not the Christ. - Jennifer 

I want women to have a fresh encounter with God and not a fresh encounter with me. - Elisa

Yes, this episode ties in perfectly to Jennifer's newest book and bible study, It's All Under Control: A Journey of Letting Go, Hanging On, and Finding a Peace You Almost Forgot Was Possible.

On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, Angela and Elisa reunite for the closing episode of season one, focusing on Being a Woman of Wisdom. Together, they "meet wisdom" in Proverbs, specifically digging into chapter 8. They cover everything from raising sons and daughters to nurturing marriages to being women walking in wisdom, passionate about pursuing cross-wired, multi-generational relationships.

Highlights

How do we lovingly engage with those who don't yet know Him? - Angela

Are we seeking wisdom to put it into action or simply saying we're pursuing wisdom? - Angela

We need the generations cross-wired together because we need wisdom from the older generation. - Elisa

We have to be careful we're not pursuing what "feels good" but returning to the wisdom of God. - Angela

Wisdom . . . it is about learning how to go search for it. - Angela

Before the creation of the world, He created wisdom. What does this even mean? - Elisa

Wisdom doesn't mince words. - Elisa

If you are hopeless, helpless, downcast, wisdom is a place to come back to as an anchor. - Angela

Challenge Question

In what ways can you see that God might be calling you to "adult" in your faith walk? How might God want to give you wisdom in a challenging area of life?

How are you applying the wisdom from Proverbs 8?
