  • 247. The New Hat Wall and the Holes That Don’t Matter

    What started as a wall full of hats turned into a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be perfect.

    In this short episode, I share how my impatient self decided to hang my cowboy hats around our mirror (even though I’ve been banned from hanging things 😂). There are a few holes in the wall, but you know what? Progress is progress — and I’m proud of it.

    If you need a little reminder that messy growth still counts, this one’s for you.

  • 244. Full Circle in St. Augustine: Gratitude, Growth, and Family Memories

    This week, I’m taking you back to a very special place in my heart, St. Augustine, Florida. My husband Frank, our 10-year-old Bruce, and I spent fall break exploring the city where I went to college.

    We did all the touristy things, ate amazing food, and visited the places that shaped who I am today. In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing the full-circle gratitude that came from walking through old memories with new eyes.

    🎧 Plus, Frank and Bruce join me to share their favorite parts of the trip!

  • 243. Because of Jesus: Peace, Hope, and God’s Perfect Timing

    This week, I’m diving into Romans 5:1–11 (ESV), a passage that’s full of hope, peace, and reminders of how deeply God loves us. During my Bible study, a few words really stood out to me: hope and reconciled. Because of our faith, we have peace with God through Jesus, our relationship with Him is restored, and we’re no longer His enemies.

    My biggest takeaway? Because of Jesus’ love and sacrifice, I’m made right with God, I have peace and hope even in hard times, and I can live with joy knowing I’ve been fully forgiven and restored to Him.

    Friend, I hope this episode reminds you that even in the trials, even in the waiting, God is working. He’s not done with your story, and He’s always faithful.

  • 241. A Wave of Gratitude in the South Texas Air

    This weekend in South Texas, I was struck with a sudden wave of gratitude. For the land. For the sun. For the fresh air and good food. For friends who are more like family. For the kind of community where makeup doesn’t matter, kids are loved like your own, and conversations fill your soul.

    In this episode, I share a story from our time dove hunting at a friend’s ranch and how it reminded me that gratitude can shift everything, even in the middle of chaos.

  • 240. Permission to Have Off Days

    This week’s episode is short, sweet, and straight from my heart. I wasn’t feeling inspired to record today, and maybe that’s exactly why this message matters.

    In this episode, I share a moment from the other day when someone asked me, “What do you do now that you’re not teaching?” and I froze. I explain how that question left me feeling less than, and how it ties into the bigger reminder we all need:

    💛 You have permission to have off days.
    💛 You don’t need to be “on” all the time.
    💛 Your worth isn’t tied to productivity, titles, or inspiration.

    If you’re feeling tired, drained, or uninspired... This one’s for you.

  • 239. Beyond the Noise: Mourning, Healing, and Hope after a Public Loss

    As a Christian, I wrestle with grief, shock, and the fear over how the death of Charlie Kirk could deepen political divisions. But I also hold onto hope: hope that tragedy might awaken compassion, that anger might be transformed, that we might lean into our shared humanity.

    Together, we’ll explore what we can do: turning off the 24-hour news cycle, stepping away from social media for a bit, engaging in conversations with people we disagree with, and remembering that behind every headline, every clip, every voice is a person made in God’s image.

    This is not about blame, or pointing fingers, or even political... It’s about healing, unity, and love.

  • 238. When God Multiplies Our Gifts

    This week, I’m sharing a powerful experience from visiting our daughter at Tarleton State University and attending Timber Ridge Church with her and her friends. Watching young adults worship Jesus so boldly reminded me of my own college years and how different my story was.

    The message that morning centered on how Jesus multiplies our gifts, and Romans 12:7-8 deeply connected to my heart and what I’m studying in Bible study right now.

    I pray this conversation encourages you to lean into the gifts God has placed in you and trust Him to multiply them.
