  • Not Sure Where You Fit? Discover Your Spiritual Gifts and Serve in Christian Community

    Have you ever wanted to serve but had no idea what your gifts are or where you fit?

    In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, we kick off our Serving with Purpose series with my friend Angela. She shares how she discovered her gifts of administration and hospitality, what it looked like to say yes to leadership in a homeschool community, and why trusting God matters when the what-ifs feel loud. We talk about humility, sanctification, and how serving can become an act of worship instead of just another obligation. We also talk about raising kids with a serving mindset.

    In this conversation:

    • Practical starting points: look for the needs around you, notice what brings you joy, pray honestly, and start small
    • How growth in faith often comes through simple, steady obedience
    • Why Christian community is one of the best places to live out real faith

    • Burned Out and Guilty for Resting? Practical Spirituality for Sabbath and Real Rest

      Does your mind still feel guilty every time you try to slow down?

      In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Laura, author of The Path to Rest. Laura shares her personal story of burnout, health struggles, and the slow work of reversing self-reliance. Together we open the Bible and look at people who faced exhaustion and pressure, including Elijah, Moses, and even Jesus, and we talk about what it means to trust God when your body and heart are tired in a 24/7 culture.

      In this conversation:

      • What Sabbath rhythms can look like in a nonstop life
      • How delegation and worship help you stop carrying everything alone
      • Why daily returning to God is the heart of real rest

      • Mom Guilt and Grace: Trusting God When Motherhood Feels Like You're Failing

        Do you ever lie awake replaying the moment you lost your patience with your kids and wonder if you're getting this whole motherhood thing wrong?

        In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Alana, a mom of five, to talk about trading mom guilt for grace. Alana was the "extra grace required" kid growing up, and she still remembers how that felt. When her firstborn was a toddler, she decided impatience would not be passed down in her home. Now she asks the Holy Spirit one simple question in the hard moments: "What does grace look like right now?"

        We talk about the meltdowns, the bedtime battles, and the seasons when your family is facing a real storm, and how trusting God can shape your tone, your discipline, and the atmosphere of your home.

        In this conversation:

        • Why grace sometimes looks like discipline and sometimes looks like letting it go
        • Practical swaps, like praying over a sleeping child instead of waking them up angry
        • Why we need older moms to "do life" with, and the Scriptures (Luke 6, 2 Corinthians 9) that anchor Alana
        • If you need a reset today, this is your reminder to check in with God, receive His grace, and then give what you've been given.

        • Stuck in Comparison and Harsh Self-Talk? Spiritual Growth Starts with Being Made in God's Image

          What does it actually mean to be made in God's image, and how does that change the way you talk to yourself?

          In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Alyx and I talk through the biblical foundation for who you are, and why you do not have to strive for perfection to be loved by God. We talk about how comparison can slowly bury who God created you to be, and how getting back into the Bible helps you replace harsh self-talk with what God says is true. His heart toward you is not distant or disappointed. He is near, He is faithful, and He invites you to rest.

          In this conversation:

          • Practical ways to take thoughts captive
          • Alyx's go-to Scriptures that anchor her identity in Christ
          • How to take a steady next step in spiritual growth without striving
          • If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact. I would love to hear from you.

          • Going Through the Motions? Real Faith Means Knowing Jesus, Not Just Knowing About Him

            Have you ever felt like something is missing, even though you go to church and do all the right things?

            In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I talk about moving from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him. A relationship with Jesus is not a bonus add-on. It is the center of the Christian faith. We look at what the Bible says about surrender and following Jesus, including Matthew 16:25 and John 14:6, and how trust in God grows through prayer, Scripture, and obedience. I also lead a simple, honest prayer for anyone who wants to begin again, or begin for the first time.

            In this conversation:

            • Why life with God is more than church attendance or religious habits
            • What Matthew 16:25 and John 14:6 teach about surrender
            • How to take your next step: keep talking to God and keep opening the Word
            • If you prayed along, I would love to celebrate and pray with you. Reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact.

            • Trust in God in life uncertainty: walk with God, gain perspective, and grow closer to God

              Life has a way of surprising us. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Alana to talk about trust in God in life uncertainty, especially when the unexpected keeps coming. We talk about what it looks like to walk with God when you feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or stretched thin.


              Alana shares her story of becoming a mom in ways she did not plan, and how those seasons exposed fear, pressure, and places where her faith walk needed to go deeper. We talk about shifting your perspective, learning to trust in God not only in trials but also in blessings, and building your life with God in practical ways.


              You will hear why the bible and the word of God became a steady foundation for her, how Jeremiah 29:11 speaks to seasons that feel like exile, and simple, real-life steps for creating space to seek God with your whole heart. If you are tired, carrying a heavy load, or trying to practice faith in real life, I hope this conversation gives you clarity and hope.

              What if the way you handle a hectic day could actually grow your faith?

              In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, our very first official episode, I share my heart behind this podcast and what you can expect each week. I tell you a little about my family and our full-time RV life, plus a simple example from travel days that changed when we stopped rushing and started asking better questions: What can we learn from this? What can we do differently next time?

              In this conversation:

              • How simple questions can grow real faith and trust in God
              • Why perspective shifts help your faith work on hard days and good days
              • A steady rhythm for any season: talk to your Heavenly Father, open your Bible, and learn His voice
              • You are not alone, and your story matters more than you think. If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact. I would love to hear from you.
