Gratitude comes easy when life is good, but how easily do we find it when we are going through hard times?  Angela's addiction story started way back in childhood, and while there were many points of sobriety, it wasn't until her complete surrender to God through her faith journey, that she can now find gratitude in her story.  She shares how it all began, her struggle with anxiety, and her walk with Jesus.  I am thankful for her bravery in sharing and I hope it helps us see others who are walking a similar path.  

There are many pockets of community and this week we dive into Family Community.  I'm with two of my sisters, Heather and Andrea, in today's episode.  We talk about how we have grown together over the years not just as sisters but also as friends.  It's all about intentionality!  I hope you enjoy the conversation and laugh along with us.  

I cannot stress how important community is.  With over 20 years of friendship, I sat down and had a fun conversation with my best friend, Alli.  Together we came up with the five things we think are needed to make and keep a lifelong friendship.   If you're looking to get connected or already have a tribe, this podcast is for you.  I hope you enjoy the conversation, stories, and laughter.  

Join my conversation with Heather Wallace on how we can care well for our ministry community.  We talk about who fits that role and what vocational ministry looks like.  She gives practical ways to care well for your church leaders and volunteers.  Enjoy the conversation.

Looking for a good book for growth!  In this quick episode, you'll hear about my favorite four from this past year.  Enjoy!

Join me in my final conversation about homeschooling as I talk with Tyler and Jessie.  Tyler was homeschooled from first through 12th grade and now he and Jessie have chosen to homeschool their two young children.  We talk about the benefits and flexibility of homeschooling then and now.  Enjoy the conversation.  

Join me as we get some teenagers' perspectives on homeschooling.  We talk about why they homeschool, the different ways they have homeschooled, the things they love and don't like about it,  along with the infamous topic of "socializing."  Renee is also back (from episode 7) along with her daughter, my daughter, and their friend.  Enjoy the conversation!

Homeschooling 101.  I sat down with five other ladies who have been or are currently homeschooling to answer all the questions.  We talk about why we homeschool, how we homeschool, and dig into the famous question of socializing.  If you have considered homeschooling or know someone who is interested, this is a great starting point.  No homeschool looks the same, and there is so much flexibility in how to bring it into your home.   Enjoy!

This final week in our series is all about wisdom.  Join me as I chat with my in-laws about gaining wisdom through our own and other people's experiences, positive affirmations, Marriage Encounter, growth, and living with gratitude.
