    Summer Goals

    This week we’re wrapping up our season and heading into a summer break! In this episode, we talk about why we’re stepping away for a few months, what we’re hoping to learn during this season of rest, and the personal goals we’re working toward while we’re off. From growth and discipline to margin and restoration, we’re sharing what this summer looks like for us and inviting you to consider what you might need in this season too. Thank you for being part of As We Grow. We’ll see you after the summer!

    Rhythms of Listening in Community

    Joy jumps in this week to talk about the necessity of developing a rhythm of stopping and listening before we make any decision, and then she ties it to the unavoidable need for community. This conversation is the kick you need to recalibrate your life rhythms to God's rhythms before summer roars in. We also have many personal updates on this show, so follow us on Instagram @aswegrowpod to see all the corresponding pictures in our stories. And speaking of summer, we're announcing our summer schedule. We'll be taking the next few weeks off to recharge, so now more than ever, it's vital that you follow our pod wherever you listen to podcasts! That way, when we return, our new episode will auto-populate in your feed.

    Catching Up With Luke

    We only got through one topic this time, so you'll have to tune in next week for our second of the TOP TWO. In this episode, Gretchen lays out the difference between excuses and speaking truth. We talk about the difference between the two and how to identify when excuses are masquerading as truth. Prepare for some conviction. This one will sharpen you. As We Grow is on Instagram!

    The One Where We Have 7 Topics

    This is the episode that never ends . . . it just goes on and on, my friends! I promise we tried for under an hour, but we just had too many good things to chat about. Today's TOP TWO focuses on seeing God in literally everything, and how a surrendered life seems like the harder way in the beginning but ends up being the harder way with eternal consequences. And we might sprinkle in some book reviews (we finally get back to Project Hail Mary), mermaids, and a theological question about when the first sin was committed. Buckle up! SHOW NOTES Numbers That Prophesy by Troy Brewer (at the time of this recording, it's only 99 cents on Kindle!)

    On Grieving Unfulfilled Promises

    This one is special Today Gretchen gives a vulnerable account of the lessons God is inviting her to concerning His promises for babies. Gretchen shows a lot of courage by sharing raw responses and how she's processing her most recent trip to Bethel's Wonder conference for women. We'll talk both grief and hope; and then the delicate ways of managing the tension of how those are both necessary and healing.
