El Roi -A Hebrew name we only see once in the Old Testament. This name applies specifically to a specific conversation that God had with an Egyptian slave, named Hagar.   In this episode, I encourage you to take a moment and consider what it truly means to be known and loved by El Roi. Take in the awesomeness of this rich reality and listen to what the Father has to say to you. He sees you and He loves you!

We live in a world where joy is often commodified, offering an abundance of seemingly "thirst-quenching" styles and alternatives, these variations will never satisfy the soul like God can. Our bodies and souls were not designed to endure prolonged periods without the essential elements of water and love. In this episode, you'll be inspired to take in the living water that saturates our souls and draws our roots deep into the well of Jesus’ love!

Does your worship resonate with joy? Is joy the foundation from which you rise each day to set your affections? If you’re at all like me, these questions pose a challenge to the heart, especially when navigating difficult seasons that might make it seem like there's little to be grateful for, let alone joyful.

Do you ever wonder how to compile and process everything from a previous year and then how to integrate it into a new year? Not that we have it all figured out but here's what we've learned. In this episode, you will hear how Mark (my sweetie) and I have sorted through 2023 and captured what was most important to launch into 2024.  Through many conversations and prayers, we have identified three value statements we are committed to upholding in our lives, our marriage, our family, and our ministry.

During the Christmas season, it’s common to drift or feel unsettled by pain, hardships, uncertainties, and memories past. These experiences can leave us fatigued and adrift, akin to travelers without a place to call home.

The account of Christ’s birth as the Savior of the world transcends a mere tale; it’s an epic love story that extends an invitation to you and me. In this episode, you will hear why Jesus is the true reason for the season!
