As we walk into the holiday season I know it can be tempting to reach for the melancholy that’s come with years before. Whether it’s been from loss, discord, heartache, or plain old stress… But I believe God has a different invitation for us. We often cling to fear because it’s what we’ve practiced most, but what if we practiced something different?

This year, let’s orientate ourselves in real gratefulness, practice the holy, and dig into thanksgiving like it’s your mom’s mashed potatoes or my grandmother’s ginger cakes. Man, nothing can touch those! I pray this episode sparks new hope and possibly a new lens with which to walk through the holidays. I am so grateful for each of you and thank God for this opportunity to pour a little courage back into your heart.

I've never met anyone like my sister, Debbie. Today, I'm letting you in on my most recent season of grief and how God has met me in the middle of it. This is an incredibly vulnerable episode, but one I'm giving away like an offering. He's been merciful and loving in the midst of such pain, so today I'm showing you how God can meet a fractured heart; how He met mine. 
He and His peace are always ready to meet me where I am with no fear of being overcome by the sadness seeming to overcome me. I'd like to invite you to an incredibly personal conversation and for you to bring your own bag of grief. I believe God's going to meet us in it beautifully. We're not alone in processing the heartbreak of loss and we have a God who cares about seeing us whole at the end of it. 
As always, your RATINGS + REVIEWS are so helpful. Thank you to those who have already left a thoughtful review. We're just so incredibly grateful for all the courage God is pouring out through these convos.

Songs can unlock chains if God breathes on them. I mean, how cool is that? It's a beautiful reality and one of the many things I adore about songwriting. In the writing, in the mining for a right lyric/melody, I have been met with a true friend and partner in God. He met me at the piano bench as a teenager and He still does. If you like a story, you'll like this episode. If you just need some life thrown on you and to hear some testimonies of God being God? Wonderful. You're in the right place.
I'm so grateful for each song the Lord's given me. More than that, I'm grateful for what He's given me of Himself in each song. When I invite Him and all we're working through to the piano, beautiful things happen. Not only does He give me a song, He heals my heart in the process. He's the best that way. 
As always, please RATE + REVIEW our show. It truly does help spread the encouragement!

There are few people I've encountered who have the amount of faith in the goodness, provision, sovereignty, and kindness of God. Mia Fielde's story is one she shares without a shudder and with eyes fully focused on the redemptive story God is telling through her life. Her craft as a songwriter, worship leader, and call as a spiritual leader wherever she is, is one that consistently leaves me challenged. 
I'd encourage you to listen to this episode and soak up the Jesus-infused gems that pour out from the overflow of this life surrendered. 
As always, we would be so grateful for your to RATE + REVIEW our show.

I love this episode and I know you will too! Today, I have two of my favorites at the table and we’re not holding back. I love talking with them about Jesus, leadership, what it’s like to be a woman in the music industry … But also I enjoy how much we laugh together, as you’ll see.

This episode is one you won’t want to skip or cut short, especially Kalley’s prayer for us all at the end- some great stuff. We’re not withholding any vulnerability, real talk, or jokes so hop along for the ride! 

As always, please RATE + REVIEW our show wherever you listen to this podcast.  It’s a great help to us! And if you’re thinking of potential ratings, let us help you with that: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Today I’m chatting with a songwriter, worship leader, artist, and person I respect and love greatly. Cecily Hennigan is a force of nature, but more than that, she’s a force of God’s nature wherever she is. Although there may be a few decades between us, there’s a tenacity in her I recognize and love. You will too. Her backbone is Holy Spirit-given and her drive to hone her creative expression is inspiring. 

I’m so grateful for this conversation because we may start in artistry, but we’re also talking about the reality of racial tension we’re facing. A heart, perspective, and voice like Cecily’s is so crucial to the Body of Christ and I’m so excited for her to share it with you today. It’s moments like this that make me excited for the future. God’s doing beautiful things in the lives and callings of the next generation. Let’s not miss a moment! 

As always, RATE + REVIEW our show up top if you have a few seconds. It's a big help for our show and makes sure we can share this with as many people possible!

I am so grateful to have another dear friend on this week, Anthony Skinner. You might know him as one of your favorite artists, as an incredible producer and writer, or as the creator of The Shamah Way devotional app. By the end of this conversation you'll know him to be that and so much more. What the Lord has revealed to him through simple daily meditation is game-changing for any believer and a big reason why he's with us today. Join us as we illuminate some ways to daily invite the Lord into our mind, heart, and soul. He wants to speak life into each part of us if we'll let Him. 

So what does that look like? That's what today's all about! 

If you have time, we'd be so grateful if you'd leave our show a review wherever you're listening!

Welcome back to the third and final part of "Bad Behavior." I've loved having these conversations, and what I've loved even more, is hearing how God is using these episodes to speak life into you. My desire has been that He would meet us each week to reveal more of Himself and He is. I'm so grateful. 

Although this could be an ongoing series, we're landing this topical plane here: purity. My challenge would be to come into this conversation as open and vulnerable as you'll hear me enter it. This isn't a challenge for "others" this is a challenge for each of us. What God has called us to in purity is not out of religion or legalism, but out of great love. So let's get into it!

And yes, I am here once again asking you to SUBSCRIBE + RATE + REVIEW our show. It doesn't take but a minute and it truly helps us. As always, find me on Instagram @RitaSpringer if you like to hang out there!
