Truth isn't a popularity contest - as a matter of fact, it tends to cause a lot of division and hatred and retaliation. So many people stay quiet, avoid conflict, and try to keep from offending as many people as possible. The goal is to be liked instead of to be truthful. And that attitude is the attitude of decay. Today's episode is an intense look into the absolute Truth who is Jesus Himself and how He commands us to stand firmly, speak fearlessly, and love truth fully.

My husband joins me in today's episode as we dive deep into the responsibility of stewardship and what it means to us as our focus for 2023. Transparent, honest, and vulnerable - this is one you don't want to miss!

I don't know about you, but it can be nerve-wracking to be fully myself - I'm quirky, goofy, and sometimes awkward. I don't always know what to do or say, and I want it to be just right, so I just freeze and don't do anything at all. Or I wait until I feel it's just right - but sometimes that's too late. We expect to be able to be all things to all people all the time, and it just seems impossible. Perhaps it's because we are even unknowingly pursuing the wrong thing. Join me today as we talk through what it means to be fully yourself and stepping into the role God has planned for you since before time began!

God didn't create us for a dull, stressful, depressed existence. He is the greatest Author of all time and carefully and lovingly crafted a grand adventure for each one of us. He calls us to live in courage, peace, and joy in a world that is desperately short of all three. As we launch into this new year, let's do it with the spirit of fulfillment and purpose in a way that only children of God can!

How do we make the right decision in uncertain times? I'm so glad you asked! It just so happens that the Bible has an answer for that. We can be confident, careful, wise, and make best decisions now - even if we don't know what the future holds. Join me for today's simple lesson!

Sometimes we fixate on leadership because it's relevant and trendy. And although leadership is absolutely important - great followership is equally as valuable and important and something we don't think about often. Today we'll pull a story from the life of Jesus that demonstrates what it takes to become a great follower, and we'll study why it's so important.

So often I meet people who are living with unfulfilled hopes and dreams, life happens, and we get stuck. But most of our stuck isn't caused by external circumstances - most of it is caused by our mindset and choices. Because what we want most is what we do and not what we say. Join me in today's conversation as I share some basic principles that will help us bring our actions and what we want most into alignment!

Habits are the building blocks for our lives. They set our day-to-day rhythms and ultimately determine our direction. So to say that habits are important is an understatement. Today we're going to spend some time learning about how habits work, why our brain forms them, and how we can use them to our advantage in order to create the life we want to live. Join today as we jump right in to learning!

I don't know about you, but I struggle to rest - to be still, mentally calm, not stressed or worried. I'm constantly on the move and have things going on - but we are made for more than going from agitation to problem to challenge. We are built to rest - often and intentionally. And when we align ourselves to the blueprint God created us to live by, then the rest, worship, and blessings that follow will transform our life. I certainly don't have it all figured out, and I fail at it a lot, but God has invited us into a better way, so join me as we learn to answer that call He has placed in our hearts!

What is a champion and what makes them able to accomplish the incredible things that they do? Whether it's Muhammed Ali, the world's boxing champion, David defeating an indomitable giant named Goliath, or an Olympian that took the gold after 16 years, all of them have the same principles in common - principles that we can identify and apply to achieve our goals and dreams too. In today's episode, we'll dig into the 5 core characteristics that champions always exhibit and learn how to apply those tools.
