The Love Offering The Love Offering

It's easy to feel overwhelmed and limited by the demands on your life as a mom. Your heart's cry is for God to use you, but at the end of the day, you don't have much left to give.

But what if the limits on your life could be overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit?

Jessica Hurlbut is on the show igniting hope in the hearts of overwhelmed moms to believe that God has more. Revealing 12 limits that hinder mothers--very real things like exhaustion, distractions, and disillusionment--Jessica empowers you to respond in obedience rather than react in emotions. From there she will teach you how to recognize and follow the Holy Spirit's lead so you can experience the abundant life Jesus promised rather than the just-getting-by life we tend to settle for.

No matter your circumstances, God sees you, knows you, and has more for your life--even amid the crazy season of motherhood.

Change in our lives is inevitable whether it is a change we desire, like a new job or a new city, or one thrust upon us, like the loss of a loved one or a challenge to our health. Either way, we get to choose who we become as a result of these changes in our lives. Change is a powerful teacher, shaping and molding us more into the likeness of Christ as we let it do its work.

Braving Change author, Andi Andrew is on the show helping us to:

· recognize the transition you are in
· recover from loss
· reclaim your power to make healthy choices
· rebuild after change

Join us to make sense of the change you're experiencing so that you can grow through it and be prepared for the next change that comes your way.

As women, we're often told that we're entitled or unrealistic when we want to create a life we love. We start hearing this message from a very early age, and by the time we're old enough to know what we want, we've also been taught to doubt our instincts and to see selfishness in all our longings.

This episode is the antidote to those voices and the way forward.

Writer, speaker, and podcaster Stephanie May Wilson is on the show helping us shrug off the pressure of what we think our lives are supposed to look like and take on the next big decision or life transition with intentionality and confidence.

Join us to learn how to:

Define yourself on your own terms by setting aside societal pressures that tell you who you're supposed to be.
Feel empowered to make your next big decisions with confidence and clarity.
Build security and peace in both who you are and the season you're in.

On today’s show and in her book, Create a Life You Love, Stephanie will help you untangle your own expectations from the expectations of others and get inspired to at last pursue a life that you're excited to wake up to each day.

The peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves.

There are inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we're comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren't superheroes and invincibility isn't an option.

But humility is.

Whether we've incorrectly defined it or underestimated its relevance to our daily life, humility is the missing piece for the security, strength and confidence we all want. It's time to stop trying so hard to avoid our limitations or overcompensate for them. God has better for us and it begins with bowing low in humility.

Dr. Joel Muddamalle is on the show to help us:

Overcome the fear of being "found out" or looking like a fraud by realizing God's intent for shortcomings and weaknesses.
Walk through hurtful situations in the most God-honoring way by gaining a true understanding of biblical humility.
Answer the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" by learning a perspective shift that will change how you process suffering.
Know confidently that you're living with purpose and being used by God through seven ways to practically live like Him today.
Be led by the biblical definition of self-awareness so you can experience the unexpected ways it brings safety and security to your life.
Stop believing the lie that theology is out of touch or too difficult to comprehend as Joel shows you how to dig into scripture and study it yourself.

Join us to discover weakness is not your enemy. Planted in the soil of humility, weakness becomes a means to gaining more strength and more peace.

Comparison can feel like a never-ending struggle. The whole measuring up to friends and influencers on social media? It's a lot. Everyone has their own idea of what we should be like. 

Shannon Popkin and Lee Nienhuis are on the show to help you break free from the comparison trap and embrace the incredible life that Jesus has in store for you. Join us to discover new freedom, confidence, and influence by adopting Jesus's "me-free" mindset in this crazy, measure-up world.

Aging. Grateful. Those are two words you don't usually see in a sentence together. Culture tells us that aging involves wrinkles, extra pounds, arthritis, and graying hair. And its answer to aging's many problems? Fight back!

And we do, wearing ourselves out physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the process.

But the Bible speaks about aging differently—that each year is a gift from God. Join us as Heather Creekmore talks about Aging Gratefully. She is offering us humorous encouragement and sincere hope for this stage of life by pointing us each day to something we have to be thankful for in our current seasons. She guides you in prayer, giving words to your practice of gratitude, and then gets you moving to put your thanksgiving into action. Tune in to find reasons to laugh out loud, reminders to live abundantly, and a solid rationale for why aging and grateful really do belong together.
