#92: October was a month of deeper layers — of trust, of surrender, of obedience, of waiting. It was full of twists I didn’t see coming. Some moments really stood out, and others quietly settled me in a deeper way than I expected.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real and raw reflections of what supported me in October — not just practically, but spiritually. Some moments were light and joyful, like a day trip with Dave. Others were heavier, like losing another client and having to choose trust over panic. But through it all, I could sense God doing a deeper work — asking me to stay with Him, even when I don’t know where the road is leading.

#91: In the last episode, we talked about motivational gifts and marriage, and this week it only seems natural to talk about motivational gifts and children because after all, God places our gifts in us at the time of conception.

Now again, you might be tempted to pass on this episode if you don’t have children and I understand, because I don’t have any living on this earth. However, over the years God’s given me the privilege of watching the children around me grow up and seeing how their gifts take shape long before they ever take a quiz or know the language for it.

So whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, aunt, or uncle every child you encounter is carrying a piece of God’s design. And when you can recognize it early, you have the chance to call it out and nurture it.

Let’s go to the show.

Heavenly Position System Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, ask the Holy Spirit to highlight one child in your life maybe your own, maybe a niece, a student, or a child at church.

Then pray: “Lord, show me how You’ve uniquely wired this child. Help me see what You see, and teach me how to nurture that gift.”

Once you’ve prayed, write down whatever comes to mind.What lights them up? What frustrates them? Where do you see grace flowing easily through them?

Then take one small, intentional step to affirm it this week. Maybe it’s a word of encouragement, a note, or simply slowing down to listen.

#90: If you caught last week’s episode where Dave and I shared The Real Story Behind 26 Years of Marriage, you know marriage has been on my heart lately. We laughed, we reminisced, and we got honest about what it really looks like to grow together over time.

Today, I want to take that conversation a little deeper — not just about how we grow, but why understanding how God designed us can change the way we love and relate to one another.

And before you skip this one thinking, “Well, I’m not married,” hang tight — because what I’m sharing today applies to any close relationship: friendships, family, co-workers, even people in your church community. When you understand someone’s motivational gift — the way God wired them to see and serve the world — it changes everything about how you relate.

So whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, I think you’ll walk away from this episode with a few “aha” moments that make your relationships feel a little lighter and a lot more Spirit-led.

Let’s go to the show.

Heavenly Position System Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, watch for where your spouse feels most alive. Chances are, that’s connected to their gift.

Name the good you see.Say it out loud: “I love how generous you are.” “I see how deeply you care.” “You have such a gift for bringing order.”Affirmation activates gifts.

Give grace for what drains them.Instead of frustration, try curiosity: “That seems hard for you — what about it feels heavy?”

Ask God to show you how He sees them.This one changes everything.When you pray, “Lord, show me how You’ve wired them,” you’ll start seeing your spouse through new eyes.

#89: This week’s episode is unlike any other—because I’m not alone at the mic.

To celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, I invited my husband Dave to join me for a candid, unfiltered conversation about our marriage. From our first impressions and funny stories (including one that involves a broken frosting cap and a nail 😆) to the deep work of healing, growing, and learning to love each other better. We’re pulling back the curtain on what 26 years together has really looked like.

We talk about:

* How we’ve changed (and even flipped personalities!)

* What the Enneagram revealed about our relationship

* How we handled major challenges like cancer and financial crisis

* Why faith has been our anchor and why we couldn’t do marriage without it

* The rhythms and humor that keep us connected

Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, we hope this conversation encourages you, makes you laugh, and reminds you that no relationship is ever perfect but with God, it can be sacred.

#88: Have you ever noticed how the Enneagram has become a household conversation? People throw out their numbers at dinner parties or in small groups, and suddenly you feel like you know them better. But what if we made motivational gifts just as common?

Now, let me be clear—I’m not here to speak against the Enneagram. In fact, I find it to be a really helpful tool. But I believe motivational gifts give us something unique that we can’t afford to overlook.

In today’s episode, I want to share why I believe motivational gifts should be a household conversation. We’ll look at how they change the way we see our relationships, how they deepen our compassion for others, and why they’re more than just another tool—they’re a Spirit-led lens for living.

Let’s go to the show.

#87 In this month’s reflections episode, I’m sharing the small but powerful shifts that carried me through September — from a surprising breakthrough in my snoring saga to a favorite podcast episode I almost didn’t record.

I’ll talk about how a new workout routine is strengthening more than just my body, how one verse calmed my fear of aging, and how a deep conversation with an old mentor reminded me why I’m so grateful to have Jesus. I’ll also share what I learned about “future grace,” and how it’s helping me battle worry in real time. Let’s get into it.

#86: Have you ever raised your hand to serve in church, only to feel exhausted, frustrated, or even a little bit bitter afterward? You wanted to help. You wanted to make a difference. But somehow, it didn’t feel like joy—it felt like work. In this episode, we’re talking about why that happens and how to prevent it. I’m sharing why knowing your God-given motivational gift before you volunteer isn’t just a nice idea, it’s essential for serving from overflow instead of obligation.

We’ll explore real-life examples, uncover the difference between serving from your gift versus serving out of exhaustion, and I’ll give you a journaling prompt to help you reflect on your own design so your service can be sustainable, impactful, and joyful.

Let’s go to the show.

Heavenly Position System Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, in your journal this week, ask:

Take some time to reflect on the ways you’ve served in the past year. Identify one area where you felt alive, stirred, or ignited by the work you were doing. Identify one area where you felt drained, frustrated, or overlooked.

Ask God to show you how your motivational gift aligns with your energy and effectiveness. Where could you serve next that would allow you to give from overflow rather than obligation?

Write down your observations, even the small ones.

#85: Have you ever looked around your church—or even your small group—and thought, “Something’s missing here”? Maybe not in a critical way, but in a deeper, spiritual way. Like the body isn’t fully functioning, but you can’t quite name what part is out of alignment?

I think we’ve all felt that. I know I have.

And the more I’ve studied the motivational gifts from Romans 12, the more I believe this: We are not just individuals wired by God—we are members of a spiritual body that needs every gift functioning if we’re going to walk in power, unity, and purpose.

But what would that actually look like?

What if every motivational gift was seen, understood, and positioned within the church—not just to fill a role, but to thrive in their God-given design?

That’s what we’re going to talk about today. We’re going to explore what happens when each of the seven motivational gifts is allowed to show up in their fullness. We’ll look at Jesus’ ministry and how He modeled this, we’ll talk about what it could look like in a modern church setting, and we’ll even explore some out-of-the-box ideas that you may never have considered—but that just might unlock something new in how you view your own gift.

This episode isn’t about volunteering or team building. It’s about honoring the design of God. And when we honor that design, people come alive.

Let’s go to the show.

Heavenly Position System Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, in your journal this week, ask:

If my church was fully functioning with all seven gifts represented, what role would I be walking in? Am I already in that role… or am I hiding?

Then ask:Who around me may be walking in a gift I’ve overlooked or misjudged?

Let the Holy Spirit bring people to mind. Write down what you sense. And then, if you're led, affirm them. Call it out. Help them see it.

That small moment could be the spark that stirs their gift into action.

#84: Today’s episode is a little different. It’s not another gift breakdown or personality deep-dive. It’s a heart-to-heart. A bit of a wake-up call. And, honestly, it’s something I’ve been carrying for a long time.

Because here’s the truth:

We talk about purpose.

We talk about calling.

We talk about being the body of Christ.

But very few churches are teaching people how to understand how they were formed by God to function within that body. And that, to me, is a huge missed opportunity.

So today, we’re going to talk about why motivational gifts need to be part of the conversation in our churches, our small groups, and our families — and how ignoring them might be part of the reason so many believers are feeling burned out, underutilized, or spiritually confused.

Let’s go to the show.
