How do we find peace when everything seems to be falling apart? Today Ann Swindell and I talk about the hardest seasons we've had in our lives (coincidentally they were the EXACT same months). 

We talk about how we learned to trust God in a different way during those months as we were taught peace when everything was falling apart.

Is there something in life so consistently irritating that you think you can never get used to it? Today Jamie Erickson and I talk about what it looks like to be settled in the life we have even if the circumstances right now feel like an itchy sweater.

Do you struggle with anxiety? Long nights we spend staring at the ceiling wishing for sleep to come. Sharon and I talk about what trying to control our environment costs us. She explains why we all crave control and how the control we seek is different from the real power God promises us! 

We also take a sidebar into what it means to influence people into the full potential God has for them, and how the hearing of the Word can produce change.

I just made 25 freezer meals in 3 hours. I was going to write out all the directions, but I was too tired, so this is the phone call "how to" version. I'm sure in the future there will be more of these because talking things out is easier than trying to write and edit a blog post. Also, let's be honest no one wants to hear another person's life story before they get to a recipe! 

Here's the link to the recipes!
