Sunshine Cafe: Stories to Encourage & Inspire

Do you really know who you are—or have you just gotten really good at becoming who everyone else needs you to be? In this episode of Sunshine Café, we’re talking about how to stop shape-shifting, get honest with yourself, discover what truly matters to you, and become more comfortable and confident being authentically YOU—without losing kindness, humility, or respect for others. If you’ve ever felt like a chameleon, worried too much about what others think, or wondered why you don’t quite feel like yourself around certain people, this one is for you. ☀️

In this episode, Lisa explores how to follow through on the goals and dreams that matter to you—especially when there is no boss, coach, deadline, or outside accountability pushing you forward. She shares a practical four-step process to help you get clear on what you want, find the will to pursue it, create a flexible plan, and take the next small step toward done. You’ll also learn why self-trust, supportive accountability, visualization, and small consistent actions can make such a difference when it comes to keeping promises to yourself. If you’ve ever found it easier to show up for everyone else than for your own goals, this episode is for you. SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF. One step at a time.

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter and not sure where to start? In this encouraging conversation, Lisa talks with professional organizer Tracy Hoth about why clutter can leave us feeling stuck—and how small, simple actions can create real change.

Feeling mentally full, overcommitted, or too busy to hear yourself think? In this episode of the Sunshine Café, Lisa shares what she learned from stepping away for five weeks of intentional protected rest — and why simply taking time off isn’t always the same as truly resting. She walks through a simple 5-part framework — Reflect & Rest, Dream, Decide, Design, and Prepare & Reflect — designed to help you slow down, reconnect with what matters, and make a little room for clarity, purpose, and God’s direction to surface.

Could taking care of your body actually be an act of worship?

In this Summer Encore episode of the Sunshine Café, Lisa shares a powerful mindset shift about exercise, fasting, healing, strength, and what it truly means to be a good steward of the body God has given us. For many of us, prioritizing our health can sometimes feel selfish, shallow, or even vain. But Romans 12:1 invites us to “offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God,” calling this our true and proper worship.

Taking care of yourself is not about chasing perfection or finding your worth in your appearance. It is about building the strength, energy, and health you need to fulfill your purpose, serve the people God has entrusted to you, and live well for as many years as possible. Your workout can be worship. Your rest can be worship. Your healthy choices can be worship. When the intention of your heart is gratitude and stewardship, caring for your body can become one of the most meaningful ways you honor your Creator.

In this powerful episode Lisa Roers welcomes Kari Hoffman, mother of Landon Hoffman, whose miraculous survival after being thrown from the third-floor balcony at the Mall of America captured national attention. Kari shares the terrifying details of that day, the spiritual battle she felt from the very beginning, and the unwavering faith that carried her through months of surgeries, setbacks, and recovery. From the moment she felt prompted to pray before entering the mall, to the trained nurses who were already on site, to the doctors who were ready at the hospital, Kari saw God’s hand at work again and again.

Through Landon’s 39-foot fall, hidden medical complications, a life-saving heart stent, and a long road of healing, this story reveals miracle after miracle. More than a survival story, this is a testimony of faith, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and the power of speaking life when everything looks impossible. Kari’s “perfect” declaration over Landon became the word that carried them through. Today, Landon is thriving, and Kari continues sharing their story so the world can see that God is real, He listens, and miracles do still happen.

Waiting is often the hardest part—but what if the waiting season is also where some of life’s most important work happens? We’re launching the Sunshine Café Summer Encore series by revisiting one of our most-loved episodes: The In-Between Season Might Be the Point. We spend so much of our lives rushing toward the next thing, trying to get through the uncertainty, discomfort and waiting. But what if the in-between isn’t something to escape? What if it’s where faith is formed, resilience takes root and our character is built? What if God is doing important work in us—even when it feels as though nothing is happening? As you listen, consider: Are you rushing through a season God may be asking you to experience? What could you learn, build or appreciate while you’re still in the in-between? If you’re walking through change, loss, uncertainty or a season that simply doesn’t make sense yet, this episode is for you. You may not be stuck. You may be under construction. ☀️

During this short Summer Encore season, our team will be praying, preparing and creating exciting new programming for the fourth season of Sunshine Café. We can’t wait—well, we can wait—to share it with you!
