I'm in SHOCK that it's been three years since my book baby, "Surrender Your Story" launched into the world. Today, I'm sitting down behind the mic and sharing candidly and honestly about where I've struggled with surrender, but also where I've found victory in surrender. If you're struggling to trust God, feel like your expectations are left unmet, or just in a waiting season, you'll find encouragement and hope here today. Stay tuned for the end for a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT too.

Celebrate with me and grab a copy of the book here if you haven't yet!

After bonding over coffee as speakers at She Speaks 2024, I knew I had to have Dr. Joel Muddamalle on the podcast! Not only is he an incredible writer, bible teacher, and speaker, but he's a gentle and loving friend and you'll hear that in today's episode. We're talking all about humility, and how often our greatest thorns teach us the greatest things about God. Joel boldly claims that humility is the answer to decreasing our anxiety and fear and helps us figure out if we're actually living in a state of peace in this moment or not. I loved getting to learn from him about pride, self-reliance, and instead, what Jesus' yoke really means.

Are you ready to make moves for God and His kingdom, and yet you feel unqualified, uncertain, or unequipped for the task? Perhaps you feel uneducated or unsure about the timing or how God has gifted you. We get it. Good friend, Cassandra Speer, is back on the podcast to talk about how we are ready as we are, because God equips us. We don't hold back - gracefully bringing a conversation about women in ministry, how to fight the cultural lies against women today, pride versus purpose, and some incredible women from the Bible who show us what it looks like to stay yielded to God and still be bold for his kingdom.

It's been a HOT minute since I shared my testimony on the podcast, so here it is! In raw and honest fashion, you'll hear the joys, the ups, the downs, the failures, the mistakes, and the moments that I almost gave up on God in this episode. I'm sharing how I started this podcast, got into ministry, and so much more in hopes that you see someone who is constantly fighting for surrender to God, and a God who has never given up on me... and will never give up on you.

The gift of unplugging is reclaiming your joy, presence, and peace. Hannah Brencher (and myself!) know what it feels like to be torn apart, distracted, overwhelmed, and overstimulated, and how often that starts with our phones and our connectivity. This conversation is full of hope for you, doable baby steps to unplug in the ways that work best for you, what Jesus says about being present, how to find technology boundaries and even a fun challenge.

Where are my working moms at? I'm not gonna lie... this is a tricky tension. As mothers, we deal with guilt, pressure, comparison, and exhaustion on the regular, and that only intensifies when we work (whether from home or outside of the home). That's why I wanted to share some life-giving practical tips that I implement in my own life. My prayer is that you'll walk away from this episode with a more grace-filled approach to mothering and working, and also the hope that you can be a present mom and still do the work God has called you to.

How do we know when it's time to move on from that relationship, friendship, or situationship? How do we know if we've been living in a pattern of bitterness? How can we walk in forgiveness? Lauren Vanderlinden is a sweet online friend, and someone whose path I have miraculously connected with (you'll hear our small-world meeting story). She's the author of a book all about moving on, healing, leaning on God's justice instead of revenge, and so much more. If you're hurting, or have been hurt before, and need a practically biblical conversation on how to move on, forgive, and live lighter, you're in the right place.
