"The reality is I could get all the surgery in the world, and I could lose all the weight I wanted, but it was something deeper in me causing this....it's an inside work not an outside thing."

Leslie Pierce struggled with body shame almost her whole life, today she bravely shares her story on how working on her heart and mind lead her to loving herself just the way God made her. I know her story is going to encourage you to love yourself just as God created you!

If you have been listening to the podcast for awhile, you have heard me say, I would have not dated in high school. I wanted to touch on the subject, because I do think it's a little over rated for teens to give so much of themselves to another person at such a young age. But, I wanted a "guys" perspective on it as well. So, I brought along my friend, Josh Baker to join me in a conversation on the subject. We chat about our own experiences, some scripture thoughts and hopefully encourage you to really pray about when and if you should date.

We are kicking off season five chatting about friendship! September is National Friendship month, so we thought why not dig into the Bible and see what we could find on the subject. Community and friendships is such an important part of our lives, including how it effects our relationship with Jesus. We hope this encourages you to strengthen some friendships and have you praying about the ones who shouldn't be in your small circle.

"God doesn't want us to just "seek His hand". He doesn't want us to just come to Him because we want something in return  or we want gifts or monetary things. He wants us to seek Him for Him."

Zoe Nembhard is a dear friend who is sharing  so much wisdom today. I know you are going to want to take notes from this one. From her struggle with college turning into an eight year journey, but in that, she found her identity in Christ and is owning her crown now. This is one you will want to share with a friend or even listen to more than once.
