The Reflect & Co Show

Have you ever wondered how God would introduce you?

This week I watched a movie about a shepherd introducing each of his sheep by name — describing their quirks, their personalities, what makes each one uniquely them — and the delight on his face completely wrecked me. It made me think about how God knows and delights in each of us the exact same way.

In this episode, I'm sharing that movie moment, a personal story about a name God once gave me in prayer, and a challenge I can't stop thinking about: how often do our thoughts about ourselves actually line up with how God would describe us?

We'll walk through what it means to be known and named by God — not lost in the crowd, not just "one of the flock" — and I'll leave you with two simple reflection prompts to take into your own time with Him this week.

If you've ever felt unseen, or like you're just one of many, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• ​A movie scene that changed how I think about being known
• ​What it means that we "cherish belonging" the way the shepherd's sheep did
• ​A personal story about a time I felt so encouraged by God in prayer
• ​Two reflection prompts to ask God how He'd introduce you

What would it look like if we only entertained thoughts that God is also thinking?

To think with the mind of Christ, vigorously and intentionally renewing our minds is where the gold is. If we think what He's thinking no task is too small to have eternal significance and no task is too large to be humanly possible, for everything carries power for kingdom impact and nothing is impossible for God. God moves and works with great intention and purpose in everything He does. Everything we do has significance if we have eyes to see it.

Today you'll be challenged and encouraged to catch a thought and consider if it aligns with what He may be thinking. If your thought is far away from what His thought may be, you will then lightheartedly consider what God would say instead, and then you move forward in partnership with that word.

We're all on our own path of becoming. May you have the joy of a loving parent watching their child learn and grow and become as you grow and become on your own journey.

How God Changed the Way I See Myself

Today Nicole invites you in to a part of her story walking through her struggle with her own identity and worth.

What she wanted to be a simple 3-step program out of this pain, turned into something far greater. God invited her in to relationship. As she grew to see Him rightly, her thoughts of herself naturally fell into their rightful place.

Be encouraged by Gods heart for you and His desire to do life with you. Whatever it may be that you're walking through, know it's not just part of who you are, you don't always have to carry this, and best of all you most certainly don't need to do it alone. He's faithful to walk with you in your process of becoming all that He made you to be.

Today we dip our toes in what it means to be made in the image of God. We discover how scripture and our example in Jesus reveal what God is like. Each of us uniquely represent Him, and together as one body, in unity can illustrate the Father to the world around us.

Be encouraged to spend some time researching all the many communicable and incommunicable attributes of God. As we grow to learn more of who He is, we grow to learn who we are along the way.

We get to be His representatives. May we live intentionally with the responsibility that that truth carries and together, in unity make Him known.

Welcome to the first ever episode of the Reflect & Co. Show!

This space is dedicated to encouraging you to think deeply about life, motherhood, marriage, your walk with God, AND spurring you on to live intentionally as God has called and designed you to as you journey onward to eternity. 

Today we dive in to some cultural narratives we hear around time and how they differ from what the bible might have to say.

Nicole shares about her personal work around this topic and how God has helped her reframe these thoughts from once being full of fear and scarcity, to now life giving and fueling to her purposeful days.
