When you hear the word "peace," what comes to mind? Is it a location or a feeling? Is it an experience or a way of being?

What if peace wasn't "out there" but rather a quantifiable gift from the Lord that came through His presence indwelling in you?

Yes, the Lord is Peace. Those are the words Gideon chose to use of God, after His encounter with Him and experiencing His provisions in the face of his own insecurities and fears.

Join me in studying Judges 6 and Isaiah 26:3 this week and let's ask God for a fresh encounter with His peace.

Does "sabbath" feel like a dirty word to you? Like, "Hush woman, I don't want to talk about that because there is no way I can honor the Sabbath with all I have to do!"

Maybe the idea of Sabbath sounds wonderful, but you can't quite figure out how to logistically make that happen in your family?

Well, what if you thought of Sabbath as a gift instead of a burden? What if it was the very secret to discovering how to breathe again . . . deep exhales that enable you to face life renewed and refreshed?

On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, Kalie and I unpack the principles and promises that lay the purpose for modern-day Sabbath-keeping. We each share our own imperfect journeys as we have uncovered the gift of Sabbath and the purpose of this covenant God made with the Israelites that is to be remembered by every generation. We're not giving you a bar to rise up to but rather the inspiration along with an invitation to explore a practice of Sabbath-keeping as you consider this opportunity to breathe each week and taste a bit of heaven on earth.

When you're not feeling well, what do you do? Do you run to a doctor or Google? A friend or a medicine cabinet? 

Quite possibly, it is time for you to see God as someone you can run to when you're suffering in your physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational wellness.

Instead of being the last resort, is it time for you to turn to Him first?

Join me in studying Exodus 15 this week and let's ask God for increased faith to believe He is trustworthy.

Do you ever feel like you can read the same Scriptures time and time again, and yet you can see fresh truths that never stuck out before?

That's the beauty of the Word of God! It is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12)! It is able to cut through our previous thoughts with fresh new understanding. Yes, God is about the business of changing our thinking and thereby transforming us from the inside out as we seek to align our thoughts with His Truth (Romans 12).

And so this week, as we return to Exodus 3, we get to meet another side of God once again. He is not only I AM WHO I AM, but he is also LORD, which in the original language is Yahweh or Jehovah, which means "the existing one" and is considered "the proper name of the One True God." (source)

Does anxiety have a grip on you or someone you love?

Have you been caught in the cycle of shame, feeling like it's a faith issue you can't resolve?

Maybe you've explored every option, every doctor, every technique, and the relief just hasn't come?

You're not alone! I say that often, but I really do mean it. And in this episode of the More to Be Podcast, you'll hear why anxiety is such an issue facing us today, as well as practical steps to break anxiety's grip on your life, whether you're the one who suffers or find yourself as a caregiver.

My friend and trusted sister-in-Christ, Dr. Michelle Bengtson, brings to us her expertise and personal experience battling anxiety and depression. She is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with more than 20 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of medical and mental disorders in children, adults, and seniors. She has been in private practice for more than a decade of that time. Michelle is on a mission to instill hope in the hearts of those who are suffering from or caring for those with ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, developmental disorders, head injuries, dementia, and the neurological side effects of illnesses such as Epilepsy, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, and Cancer, as well as psychiatric disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder.

This episode is filled with compassion, hope, and practical, biblically-steeped steps to use in not only a battle with anxiety and depression but anytime fear or worry threaten to overtake our faith.

Does the idea of hustle motivate you or make you feel like you want to take a nap?

Are you overwhelmed by the idea of fully obeying God in spite of the pull on your heart to heed His still small voice?

Maybe your answer is YES to both these questions, as opposite as they may seem.

In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I'm joined by Malinda Fuller, author of Obedience over Hustle: The Surrender of a Striving Heart, for a deeply meaningful reflection on what it looks like to simply obey God and cease the endless hustle. For Malinda, that turn began rather dramatically, and she's not looked back.

Her thoughts about finding a rhythm, cultivating routines, and making the moments together count the most are both inspiring and practical. She is a homeschooling mom to two spirited girls, on her latest adventure with her husband, Alex, living in an RV and traveling for his work.

This episode will inspire you to live in the freedom of obedience instead of the bondage of hustle.
