11 Kids and Counting?

•

Forrest and Caren are currently raising 11 children under the age of 14. That’s right. Eleven children....and they’re such a fun family! Their journey in foster care began 15 years ago and I’m seriously inspired by their story.

I hope you are too.

Prophetic Dreams: Hearing the Voice of God

•

My friend Jenn Z is back! In this conversation we talk about hearing from God through dreams. Jenn is in some major transition in her life and has had some significant night dreams that have given her specific guidance and strategy for making decisions about what’s next.

•

Sometimes talking about dreams and dream interpretation can sound a little hoky, but I wanted Jenn to talk practically with us about how we can hear the voice of God through our dreams by sharing some of her own stories.

•

Jenn is moving to Manchester, England and you’re going to be amazed at how God has been speaking to Jenn over the last four years about this next season in her life.

Why did I do a podcast episode with my sixteen year old daughter?

•

Maya Cole is smart, funny, likes mix-tapes and is 16 going on 78. She’s a regular modern-day teenager with an old soul and I think she’s pretty awesome.

•

I wanted this conversation to inspire you to take 30-45 minutes with the young people in your life and just ask questions about the things they love. You may be surprised at the things you’ll learn.

I’ve known Jon and Kalyn more than a decade and today we are reaching all the way back to the beginning to hear their story of how they met, went on a date a few years later, didn’t work out, had a second first date and finally got married.

•

We also talk about all things food and gardens and chickens and cooking and well...a surprise I was *not* expecting to hear.

This podcast with my friend Joe Edens is all about Attachment Styles!

•

Now this is a very new subject to me and Joe is admittedly not an expert on the topic so take this conversation as it is meant to be....just two friends sitting around the table, talking about life and things we’ve learned and experienced on our journeys.

The Camels Go To Africa

•

This episode is just a little bonus conversation that I had with my friends John and Rebekah on Monday while we talked about their life as missionaries.

•

John and Rebekah were both single, in their 30s and living in Africa without any thoughts or expectations of finding a spouse. But look at God. He surprised them both.
