    You Can Grow with God in the New Year: Here's How!
    Dec 31 2024
    Because it was just THAT good last year, we're replaying and resharing an episode all about entering a new year. In this episode, you'll learn a non-overwhelming, grace-filled way to approach the New Year and live with rhythm and resolution. How can we look back at this last year, learn from it, and move forward with God in a new one? How can we make plans, set intentions, and dream about our lives while still living surrendered and trusting God in the unknown? You'll hear practical truths from God's Word as well as 10 questions that you can ask yourself in all areas - spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

  • Become The "Gospel Mom" You Long to Be with Risen Motherhood

    Become The "Gospel Mom" You Long to Be with Risen Motherhood
    Dec 17 2024
    "Gospel mom" is a title we all want as mothers, right? But sometimes that can be easier said than done. Emily Jensen, author, wife, mother, and co-founder of Risen Motherhood, is gracing us with her presence AGAIN, but this time, we're talking about how to center our motherhood on the gospel, and not the culture around us. We answer questions like, "How do we sift through all the voices on social media and in the world and figure out who is worth listening to?" and "How do we make biblical decisions as mothers in the day to day?" and "How to stop comparing ourselves to other mothers?"

I'm talking to the one who feels like this year is anything but simple and giving some biblical and practical truth on how to keep what's first, well... first. I'll see you here next week for the second episode of the Christmas series, all about what Advent is, how it's really not that complicated, and how to integrate it with your family.

    Set Your Eyes Higher When The World Drags You Lower with Whitney Lowe
    Nov 5 2024
    What does it *practically* mean to set our eyes higher? We're told as Christians to look to Christ, but how can we do that in a world constantly bombarded with social media, headlines, negative press, and distractions? My friend (and returning guest, whohoo!) Whitney Lowe is here to talk about how to disrupt our scrolls with Jesus' truth, biblical perspective on insecurity, capacity, abundance, burn-out, and so much more. Perspective is really everything, and we have the best in Jesus Christ, so tune in for encouragement on how to slow our anxiety and return to truth again and again.
