• the root of your confidence 
• how other people's perceptions affect your confidence 

• TWO very special birthdays we're celebrating
• what our perspective on human limits ultimately reveals about our trust in God
• how an abundance mindset without Christ is still scarcity 
• the throw back MTV show Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills
• lack, comparison + fear vs. peace, joy + contentment (and a whole lot more!)

• why parents should ultimately be the biggest encouragers for our kids to "leave and cleave" to their spouse + how to do it
• the beauty of God's faithfulness to grow your marriage while watching your kids fall in love 
• how she felt when she met their husbands, THE DRESS, a wedding day haircut, Rockefeller Center proposals, and other moments that make her internal highlight reel...

In this live recording from a conference Somer spoke at earlier this year on the topic of Soul Care, she uses the example of Jesus withdrawing from the crowds to help us understand how we need to sometimes eliminate the external noise so that we can give attention to our souls. If you feel tired, burnt out, or on the verge of either of those, you might want to listen in!
