Show Notes

Do you have the confidence to step out in faith? To act on what God is calling you to do—even if other people don’t understand?

When Lydia McLaughlin made the choice to walk away from her popular role on The Real Housewives of Orange County, she had two very good reasons—faith and family.

Today, this world-traveling, fashion-forward mother of three uses her social platform to point women to Christ.

On this episode of The Live Out Loud Show, Lydia joins Brooke to describe the strength and grace it takes to live a life of purpose, sharing her best practices for prioritizing what really matters.

She explains how she is using Instagram Live to lead Bible study (and what the response has been so far) and introduces us to her top resources for maintaining a spirit of joy through difficult seasons.

Listen in for Lydia’s advice on surrounding yourself with other kingdom women and learn how to step out in BOLD faith to fulfill God’s calling on your life!
