Miscarriage is so common and even more painful. But, for how common it is, there are aspects of miscarriage that just aren’t talked about. Today Tim and Amanda Tipton are sharing their story of loss.

As someone who personally has never been through a miscarriage, this was so helpful for me to gain insight & understanding by hearing the real and raw + how to love friends who have suffered this loss.

I hate to say it but when I was first diagnosed I received a few gifts I never used. However, there have been gifts that have been a game changer for me as a cancer patient and that I wish I could buy for every cancer patient friend I have. And these are what we are going to talk about today… I’m not going to lie, I rarely look at gift guides, but many of you asked me to put together a gift guide specifically for patients (which makes my heart so happy) & it’s officially finished and available here: alichristian.com/giftsforawarrior 

Thank you to those of you who are championing a cancer patient right now, they need it. And to those who aren’t can I nudge you to find a patient to champion? You won’t have to look far. It made all the difference for little old me & I know it will in someone else’s life too.

As eating season approaches, I wanted to bring in my sweet friend Michelle Myers to share about her struggle with an eating disorder. She told me before we started recording she wasn’t going to hold anything back and she was true to her word. Michelle loves Jesus fiercely and encouraged my heart much- even beyond today’s topic and I know she’ll do the same for you.

Whether you’ve struggled/are struggling with an eating disorder or are a friend/relative of a loved one struggling with an eating disorder this episode will be such an encouragement to you. And if you’re none of the above (like me) this episode will be super insightful for you about this disorder, how to recognize it & more.

Lacey Ledford has a story of immense heartbreak. As she shared her story with me I envisioned her life as a game of dominoes in which after one tragedy happened it brought about another. In this episode Lacey bravely shares her story of the loss of her daughter Ava, the physical trauma it brought upon her, and in the midst of all of this having to relocate her family.

Y’all this is a story only God could make beauty from and Lacey shares it with so much holy hope. Come and be encouraged friends.

If I’m being honest, I’ve been avoiding recording this for weeks. It had nothing to do with my guest, I love this guy, but I’ve been so incredibly exhausted as I recover from the stem cell transplant.

But after we finished this episode, I was filled with renewed hope (and a bit of energy) as I was reminded of God’s faithfulness as we te recalled more of our story with each other.

In this episode we cover:

* Keeping love afloat while under extreme stress

* How we discipline our kids

* Dealing with uncertainty and big emotions about the unknown

And I pray you finish this episode feeling even more encouraged than I did (and with a few laughs).

P.S. We have a fun blooper at the end! Would you leave us a 5-star review before listening to our blooper? This allows others in need of hope to find this podcast... thank you!
