I've missed talking to you!! Thank you for sticking around while I've been transitioning from high school to college; definitely been a big change in my life. I want you to view this episode like a conversation between friends over a cup of tea (or water, or coffee, etc.) who haven't talked in a while. I'm giving you an update on my life, especially the spiritual side, and giving you some sisterly advice about how to approach reading the Bible on your own. In all honesty? This is how I would talk to a sister. I pray this encourages you, and reminds you that you aren't alone in your faith!

I mention Matthew 6:33 and Philippians 4:13 pretty briefly, and then talk about memorizing Psalm 4. You should totally take a second and read those on your own. I recommend reading Psalm 4 in the New Living Translation (NLT), as that's the translation the Lord used to comfort and convict me in a season of discouragement.

Join Nellie Harden and I as we discuss what it looks like to invest in your relationship with your parents as a Christian girl! Nellie is a mama of four teenage girls and loves to encourage teen girls and young women to have a basis of true worth, real self-esteem, and unwavering confidence, and gives such great insights on the parent-daughter relationship.

SIDE NOTE: If this is a hard topic for you, whatever the reason may be, it’s okay to skip this episode. However, if you think you’re up for it, I believe you might be inspired and encouraged by Nellie’s background to not give up on your parents and to keep praying; you never know what God is going to do!
