    “Train up a child in the way they should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6.

    Have you ever stopped, paused, and considered the question—Why are we educating them? Of course, we want to equip them with the skills and knowledge to be mature and wise adults. Sure, we desire to help launch them into a career that will bless their future selves. But is this our end goal, my friends? No!

    Pope Piux XI reminds us that we are doing much more than simply training their minds; instead, we are shepherding them into becoming the saints they were called to be. "Education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must BE and for what he must do here below in order to attain the sublime end for which he was created."

  • 200. Are you ROOTED?
    Jan 7 2025

    "Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:7

    200 episodes, my friends! I am Praising Jesus today for the gift of journeying alongside you all for four years and 200 episodes.

    In this episode, I dive into my word of the year "Rooted." What are you rooted to in your life? Is it the expectations of peers, your performance at work, your iPhone, your cup of coffee, or perhaps even your holy desire to love others well?!? What if we were never meant to be rooted in anything but Christ himself? Let the Lord reveal places in your story where your heart has been uprooted from Christ - places where the deep watering of his love has yet to be received because the wounds, trauma, fears, and shame have left you turned away and drying out. This is an invitation this week to let the Lord re-root your heart and call you closer to him so that the only thing you remain tethered to is the love of God.

  • 199. Disarming Love
    Dec 31 2024

    Want to connect? Send me a quick message here!

    "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

    Have you ever been full of shame, regret, or frustration when you encounter the undeserving love and compassion of another? This my friends is "Disarming Love"

    "So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. " Luke 2:16-19.

  • 197. Living with a Lense of Love
    Dec 17 2024

    "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins". 1 Peter 4:8.

    How often our world sneakily distorts our vision. What we see when we look out at our lives, spouses, children, and vocations becomes blurred with fear, anxiety, judgment, pride, and worry. But what if we were never meant to live perfectly, but rather love abundantly? What if shifting our vision to one clarified by the lense of love is the key to glorifying God with our lives?

  • 196. Are You living radically?
    Dec 3 2024

    Want to connect? Send me a quick message here!

    "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." ~ Romans 12:2.

    Are you living a radical life? We often hear that we should live radically for the Lord and can be tempted to think we are just too weak for this kind of life. "Jesus I can't sell everything, or start an orphanage, or create a new ministry! I'm too simple and small!!" But what if we have it all wrong? What if living radically for the Lord may not seem radical at all. What if living radically for Christ is really a call to live and love fully; to love the person in front of you, to be generous with mercy, to forgive seventy times, to be gracious to strangers, to be open to life, to lay down your life in service to others every single day.

    "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up!" Galations 6:9.

    This week I explore the idea of being farmer strong. What does it mean to live with a persevering abandonment toward the life we have been called to? What does it mean to lay down our lives every day to plant, grow, and one day harvest the fruit that God has planned for us?

  • 194. Your Motherhood Matters to ME
    Nov 19 2024

    Want to connect? Send me a quick message here!

    "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by[a] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." 1 Corinthians 12:12-14.

    I suspect that if you are a momma, your motherhood matters to you. But have you ever considered that your motherhood matters to me? In fact, my motherhood matters to you too! This week I explore the truth that, because we are one body in Christ, how we love the little people in our home matters to the entirety of our church!
