There’s a quiet pressure many of us carry to be further along by now. To perform better, handle things better, make progress faster. And when we don’t, we assume something is wrong.

This episode is about those seasons. The ones that feel shaky, uncertain, or like you’re going backward. The ones where comfort gets pulled out from under you and everything feels harder than it used to.

We talk about:

Using Deuteronomy 32:11 and the way birds actually learn to fly, we look at what it means to be in a growth season instead of a setback season.

You may not be off track.

If you’ve ever wondered why men pull away instead of opening up, this episode helps explain what’s happening underneath.

Chris shares what it’s been like to live with fear, self-doubt, and negative self-talk as a man, a husband, a counselor, a father, and someone whose life changed forever after a spinal cord injury. He opens up about the quiet pressures men carry, the things they don’t say out loud, and how insecurity often hides behind silence, humor, control, or pulling away.

This episode is for men who feel like they’re supposed to be strong but secretly feel unsure. And it’s for women who want to better understand what might be happening beneath the surface for the men they love.

In this episode, Chris talks about:

Chris reminds us that insecurity is real, but it doesn’t get the final word. Our security isn’t found in performance, success, strength, or comparison. It’s found in God’s presence.

With everything happening in Minnesota around ICE and immigration enforcement, emotions are high and the noise is loud.

This episode is not about choosing sides or sharing political opinions. It’s a heart check for Christians. We talk about guarding our hearts, resisting bitterness, and staying anchored in Jesus during times of division, fear, anger, and unrest.

Using Hebrews 12:15 and Philippians 4:8, I share:

Many of us are stuck in patterns of complaining, careless talk, and constant venting when life feels heavy. Scripture is clear that our words carry weight and that what comes out of our mouth shapes our reality and relationships.

We look at what the Bible says about controlling our words and offers practical ways to tame our tongue.

This episode is an invitation to pay attention to the “song” coming out of your mouth and let God help you change the chorus.

Somewhere along the way, the belief became QUITTING = FAILURE. But what if it's actually the opposite?

If you’ve been exhausted, scattered, or afraid that stopping means falling apart, this episode gives you permission to see quitting as surrender...and the beginning of a very real trust in a very good God.

My husband Chris joins me for a very real, very unfiltered conversation about honesty, forgiveness, and what it actually looks like to support each other when marriage gets heavy. We’ve been divorced and remarried, and we’ve learned the hard way how quickly silence and resentment can do damage if you don’t name what’s going on.

A big part of this conversation is about intimacy and friendship — how staying emotionally connected, feeling safe with each other, and remembering you’re on the same team matters just as much as fixing problems.

It’s us talking through the stuff most couples avoid. We tackle:

Ten years ago, Christmas was a disaster. Broken families, anger, hurt, and walking away from people I loved. This Christmas looks completely different, not because time heals all wounds, but because God went to work.

This episode is a Christmas reflection on hope that takes time. The kind that doesn’t come how you expect and doesn’t always look like change right away.

But one moment, one breath of God, can still change everything.

There are seasons when God feels quiet. You’re praying, asking for direction, and trying to do the right thing, but nothing feels clear. No new word. No next step. Just silence.

In this episode, we talk about why God’s quiet seasons aren’t something to fear. Silence doesn’t mean He’s gone, disappointed, or ignoring you. Often, it’s an invitation to trust Him more deeply.

In this episode, we talk about:

What Scripture shows us about why quiet often comes before something new

If you’re longing for clarity, reassurance, or a sense of what’s next, this episode is a reminder that God is still working even when He isn’t speaking out loud.

This season is full. Not just calendars, but pressure, expectations, noise, and MINDS!

This episode is about why Christmas can feel overwhelming even when it’s good, and why peace doesn’t come from getting through it or doing it better. The chaos isn’t just around you. It’s what happens when the soul is distracted and stretched thin.

We look at the night Jesus was born and the story of Mary and Martha to learn how distraction affects relationships, why stillness matters, and where peace is actually formed.

Let's chat about:

This is about learning how to carry peace into the middle of life instead of waiting for things to calm down first.
