Time for a mid-year check in! What has changed for the better in your life in 2024? Thank God for it! What would you really like to change, that you need to get better? Ask God for that, too. Make a good old fashioned list. We don't know what the next 6 months will hold, but we'll be in the safest, most loving hands every step of the way. God is always working and helping. He is making all things new! We can cling to His promises in moments of joy, tears, and transition. 

This episode reminds us that 2024 will be over before we know it, and whatever season we're surviving will come to pass. AND, God will continue to redeem, refresh, and reset the broken pieces of our hearts and lives.

The Goodness & Grace Podcast encourages you to seek God’s goodness in all seasons, to trust His provision and faithfulness, and to enjoy a cozy moment doing what you love. Goodness is here, and grace is for us- always!

Answered prayers may look entirely different from the options we handed to God. How often have we found relief, healing, or hope outside the feeble lines we have drawn? Despite the infinite possibilities and resources available to our all-powerful God, our narrow minds tend to see our situations in a more binary view. We try to make sense of the world by organizing, categorizing, and simplifying. We like definition. Yes or No. This or That. Good or Bad.…and that's rarely accurate, isn't it?

Listen to this episode for a story from my own life, when God answered a long-awaited prayer of mine in the most unexpected way. I hope it encourages someone today. 😊 I never want to forget how it felt when everything clicked into place. I love getting to tell you this story because it reminds me how tenderly God plans and provides for my life. I hope you know He does the same for you!

Do you remember your last “horrible, no good, very bad day"? I think we are justified for feeling some kind of way about those days. When things don't add up to goodness, when the yuck seems overwhelmingly present, rest assured that He is. He is good and He is present.

With God's help, and some practice, our hearts can start to filter our moments like a sieve. Road rage and future fears can just drop away. Sadness and pain don't have to define us. Every good moment we look up and say, “Thanks for that, God!” is a moment we live in the beauty He intends for us. We're in the game of panning for gold, looking for goodness worthy of storing away. What are you storing up today?

This episode reminds us that God wants good for us and is with us, even on the worst days and in the hardest seasons.  May God continue to work in our hearts, helping us to let go of what He doesn't need us to hold!

Can I cheer you on today? I want to give you a pep talk, big warm hug, cozy cup of tea, to lift you up- whatever you need most!- in this most hectic season. So many of us are white knuckling our way to whatever comes next. Our situations are unique, but we can all identify with uncertain futures, “Jesus, take the wheel!” seasons, or just waiting for whatever-today-is to pass. 

The good news is that today will, indeed, pass. Also good news: God is with us here and now.

Listen to today’s episode for a reminder that every moment is a chance to reach up and reconnect with God! He will provide the help we need to get through whatever that moment holds.

This episode is for the girl feeling stuck. In the crossroads of life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by decision and discernment. Maybe our strategies and tools are solid, but a new take on classic ingredients can be just what we need.

A new take on the classic “pray and wait" was so helpful for me! If you're facing a transition or decision, I invite you to try it. Listen to this episode for a discernment exercise, how it eased my anxiety, and reassurance that God guides us through all seasons.

Life is rarely never contained in tidy, quantifiable boxes. It's a hot mess of everything from lost keys to lost dreams, cracked screens to fractured relationships. It's too much and not enough. Things don't have to be shiny and perfect to be worthy of note. Some things are just…true.

Let's bless it all. Naming the true and the good around us reorients our heart to the One who gives every good thing. (James 1:17) It lifts our gaze from the chaos and questions before us, reminding us of how very loved and cared for we truly are. ♥️ 

This episode is me cheering you on in whatever season you're living! Listen for a conversation about: surviving hard seasons, sweetness on the other side, routines that make me smile, progress (aka grace), song lyrics, and so much more!

This episode is for you if your heart is always searching for answers, conclusions, or just a “sneak peek” of what the future holds. I’m with you! God has set eternity in our hearts because we're made for forever with Him. But what about today? We can stew in the unknowns around us, but we might just miss out on the beauty in every moment we're blessed to live. 

Marvel in God's ability to turn every moment into something more. What everyday moment turns your face back to His? Praise Him for it! And enjoy it! And rest in the knowledge that because it happened once, it can happen again. That's hope, friends! He is always seeking us.

The future will always be there. Our questions and worries probably will be, too. Hard things are hard. AND God provides relief in every connection with Him. When we can, let's come up for air. Glow in His goodness. And pass it on! 😊

I tend to bring some major junk-drawer-energy to my Jesus. Dumping a pile of mismatched worries, hopes, and fleeting thoughts at His feet. Missing pieces. Half-empty ideas. All of it just pleads, “What can you do with this?”

He's in the business of redeeming, of making all things new. (Rev. 21:5) So many times, we've asked God to “Please redeem this. Help it be better," not even sure of what we're hoping. But He knows.

Nothing is out of His reach or out of His view. He sees what weighs on our minds or breaks our hearts. He holds our dreams and our questions. He cares so very much about every aspect of our lives because we are precious to Him. 

Listen to this episode for hope in a tough season, a reminder that God hears all prayers, and that all goodness and growth are signs of His gracious love!

Let’s talk about “slippery places.” You know, moments of FOMO or exhaustion that pull us into a swamp of comparison, dissatisfaction, and a generally distorted view of our circumstances. (Yikes!) This is when we tend to lose sight of goodness. We forget who and Whose we are! 

“Slippery places” remind us that we need God. Some days, just recognizing how much we need His presence is all we can do. We can be thankful that’s all He needs us TO do. What a blessing that He is with us, in cloud and sunshine, ready for us to call on Him for help. Rest in the assurance of God's presence with us always. Abide in Him. He is good. ♥️

This episode is a love letter to church music! From childhood memories to recent experience, church music (and specifically hymns) can be so powerful for us. 

Today I want to tell you that hymns are for you. Even if you don't sing. Even if you don't think hymns are your vibe or style. Hymns are a reminder that our struggles and our journeys are a tale as old as time. Our pain is not new. We are not alone. And the God who saved and provided for those hymn writers centuries ago is the same God who saves and provides for us today.

This episode reminds us that while God’s people may all be different, we share more than we realize!
