Hi, I'm back, baby! God is productive in our pause and rest. I hadn't planned to be away from the podcast for so long, but He knew there was work to be done and I needed to be there for the work. The beautiful thing is that I can tell you there is a renewed fire and fuel for all of you who listen to this podcast. Let's show up together!

In this episode we talk all about the marathon (Heb 12:1) of life. We don't just hit the destination then that's it. No! God has so much for you and requires continued nourishment and refining.

At the end of this episode, I share all about my rebooted and exciting Fit for JOY community. I'd love for you to join us! It's a virtual platform (off social media) where we will create space for Jesus and build routines that serve so we can lead life with JOY. If you're interested in a faith-based holistic healthy living community - this is for you! Join the wait list here.

Creating space is not an easy task for some of us. I'm praying in this meditation that I help us do just that. Let's create some space for Him to be seen and felt in our lives today.

I love making new friends! Jennifer was a delight to chat with. She dropped so many nuggets of wisdom. Enjoy!

Jennifer Bosma is a wife of 34 years, a mom to three grown daughters, and a grandma to her three precious granddaughters. She loves Jesus and wants to share all she can with young moms about Him. He is the secret to her family’s success hands-down, and it’s her passion to teach this through her two children’s books, I Know the Plans and The Baby Garden, her Front Parking Spot podcast, blogs, and speaking engagements.

Teaching is at her core. She was an elementary education teacher for 23 years, so when she has the opportunity to do an author visit, it is a full engagement opportunity for everyone in the classroom.

Her goal in what she does each day is to inspire moms worldwide to reach the potential that God has entrusted to them within themselves and their families through the Front Parking Spot podcast.

Meditation time. Let's let go of our fears and let God take the reigns.

I love a good God story! This was such a sweet episode celebrating just that. God has brought two women together to take them on an adventure for such a time as this. I hope you enjoy this delightful conversation and real-life talk about leaning into God's leading, trusting Him to show you the way, and letting go of unknowns to shine for Him.

Elise is a dancer, singer/songwriter, and photographer. She has a passion for using her God-given talents to express her faith and identity.

Annabelle is passionate for sharing God’s love and an aspiring multifaceted artist. She has just completed high school and IB program (International Bachelorette) and is excited for all the adventures in store for her.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. It brought me joy to watch these ladies share their hearts and dreams with the world.

If you feel called to show them support on their mission trip with Envision this year, please contact them directly:

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” - Ex 14:14

He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than our fears. He is all-knowing. He is our defender. He cannot lose the battle. He already stands victorious.

So that thing you're feeling lost in or that battle you feel you need to fight, I encourage you in this meditation to let Him fight for you. You need only to be still.

As soon as God gave me the idea to do this series, I wished this influencer were here for me to interview him in person. Roland Classen left a mark on this world and in the lives of so many of us. He always pointed us to Jesus and did it with grace, conviction, humor and gentleness of spirit. I am forever a different person for having the privilege of knowing and being taught by him and I know I'm not alone in this. To have known Roland, was to be near Jesus. Simple as that. He was something special. Since I couldn't get him on the podcast, I did the next best thing and dug up one of his sermons from 2002. My prayer is that in this episode, you experience truth and God's love.

Thank you, Roland, for being our shepherd and leader for so long. Your legacy lives on in the lives of those who knew you. This episode is dedicated to you and your family.

Another moment to breathe and reset. This one we focus on finding our strength in Him and not in our own ability. He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than anything thrown our way.

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love," Eph 3:16-17
