Friday, March 3rd 2023 is World Day of Prayer. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Executive Director of the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada, Catherine MacKeil, and speak about the roots of WICC, her personal journey of prayer amidst trial, and what brings her hope!

 Meisha is AMAZING! She is such a voice of truth
and hope for women in any season of grief-- whether that's grief at a desire to be married that goes unfulfilled, grief while waiting and longing for a child, or grief at the loss of a dearly loved one. She speaks candidly about God's unfailing presence in those moments.

Meisha launched her own podcast TODAY, it's called 'My Single Story' and you can find it here! Go check it out and support her! 

We are kicking off February with a pre-Valentines day episode! Michelle is the founder and director of Miss Apples Matchmaking and The Christian Singles Hub. Michelle brings challenges and encouragements for singles and married alike. Lots of interesting food for thought here!

We are so thrilled to have Rosy Keane on the podcast to kick of 2023! Rosy is the Spiritual Life Secretary in Australia, a student of the word, and a brilliant spoken word artist and teacher! 

We cover a LOT in this episode-- but mainly we look to disrupt some of those misunderstandings we have around common biblical narratives, specifically featuring women. 

In this episode Major Sandra Budden kindly walks us through some of her personal journey to discovering the spiritual disciplines. I find this to be such a hopeful conversation, and one the spurred me closer to Jesus. 

Ruth Chou Simons is the author of a number of stunningly illustrated and encouraging devotionals. She is inspiring -- and delightful! -- to talk to. I hope this episode challenges you to really dig into why we celebrate Christmas, and not get swept up in cultural ideas for the season. We can intentionally prepare Him room!

We have a special podcast release today in honor of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Crystal Lavallee is a young Metis leader and Founder as well as National Director of I Am Compelled (IAC). IAC provides in-school learning experiences for students that bring to life past heroes who were compelled to do great things for others. 

Crystal is truly an inspiration! This episode is short but so honest, hopeful and important. I hope you can take time today to reflect on the importance of reconciliation, and to learn from Crystal.

"I know Jesus and the gospels wasn't responsible for the destruction of our people, it was the institution, it was the church." (Crystal Lavallee)

We have so much to learn, and a lot of work left to do.
