    Building God's Kingdom Together: Breaking the Habit of Comparison w/ Jenn Schultz

    Building God's Kingdom Together: Breaking the Habit of Comparison w/ Jenn Schultz

    Have you ever felt like you're in a never-ending battle with comparison and self-doubt? Jenn Schultz, the compassionate author behind "She's Not Your Enemy," joins us to share her journey from a people-pleaser trapped in the pursuit of perfection to someone who's found her true worth through faith. Together, we navigate the treacherous undercurrents of insecurity, jealousy, and loneliness - all while learning to anchor ourselves in the truth of who we are in God's eyes.

    Scripture offers us a sanctuary, a place where we can silence the noise of comparison and hear the voice of our truest ally. In our deep and vulnerable conversation, Jenn and I discuss the strength we can draw from passages like Psalm 103 and Ephesians 1, using them as a compass to guide our way back to our true identity. We also examine the Armor of God, not as a suit for battle against our peers, but as a reminder to stand firm against the real challenges of life, enveloping ourselves in compassion and understanding for those around us.

    Ending on a note of hope and joy, we consider the power of faith to overcome rejection and conflict, finding fulfillment in the communities we build and the roles we play within God's Kingdom.

    The Gift of Limitations: Finding the Beauty in Boundaries w/ Sara Hagerty

    The Gift of Limitations: Finding the Beauty in Boundaries w/ Sara Hagerty

    Have you ever wrestled with the constraints life throws at you or experienced limitations that seem to fence you in? Wondering where grace fits into the picture and asking the question, are there blessings in the boundaries of our lives? Sara Hagerty, a writer of deep insight and experience, joins us in a profound exploration of finding peace amidst boundaries of personal trials, from infertility to the challenges of understanding God's love in times of stillness. Her candid stories serve as a testament to the surprising ways grace manifests in our lives, especially when we're grappling with the weight of feeling we have too much and yet not enough.

    Sarah and I discuss the importance of honoring our limits, in everything we do from physical activities to finances to parenting. Through her story of ambition clashing with reality, we shed light on the realism in navigating life's challenges—a journey not just about reaching goals but also learning from the detours.

    In the final segment, we delve into the connection between our emotions, self-awareness, and the pace at which we live our lives.  Our conversation invites listeners to slow down, listen to the signals of our limitations, and discover the power of presence in the narratives unfolding in our lives.

    Join Sara and me for a conversation that will not only move you but might also reshape the way you view the quiet spaces where grace resides.

    From Longing to Confidence: Recognizing Jesus' Nearness in Our Lives w/ Cody Andras

    From Longing to Confidence: Recognizing Jesus' Nearness in Our Lives w/ Cody Andras

    Have you ever felt a deep-seated yearning for divine companionship, a sense that something greater is perpetually by your side? This episode, graced by the insightful Cody Andras, author of "Jesus by Her Side," invites you into a heartfelt exploration of this spiritual hunger, as we traverse the remarkable encounters of women with Jesus in the Gospels. Through my own journey of vocational twists and faith-stirred decisions, I uncover the beauty of God's personalized touch in our lives, mirroring the individual moments of faith portrayed in Scripture. Cody's transition from business to bibliology exemplifies the profound importance of laying all our paths before God, affirming His care for each unique stride we take.

    Tuning in, you'll witness the poignant narrative of Mary Magdalene and her transformative encounter with the resurrected Christ—a story that encourages us to advance in faith, leaving behind the comfort of past spiritual peaks. We discuss the empowering story of Mary and Elizabeth, whose bond exemplifies the support we can find within our own communities amid life's singular trials. These stories serve as an anchor, reaffirming the unwavering truth of God's constancy, even when His presence feels distant or intangible.

    Embarking on the final moments of our discussion, I invite you to explore the myriad of avenues through which we can connect with Jesus—be it through the whispers of nature, the harmony of music, or the sacred texts that chronicle humanity's intersection with God. We look at the earnestness of biblical women, like the bleeding woman's raw pursuit of healing and Mary and Martha's lessons of service and devotion, imploring you to bring the same sincerity to your own spiritual quest. Whether through Scripture reflection or prayerful solitude, Cody and I share our most cherished practices and resources, ultimately guiding you to a more profound closeness with Jesus that reaches beyond the pages of the Bible.

    Envy Exposed: A Biblical Blueprint to Contentment and Selfless Love w/ Dr. Mike Fabarez

    Envy Exposed: A Biblical Blueprint to Contentment and Selfless Love w/ Dr. Mike Fabarez

    Uncover the hidden layers of envy with Dr. Mike Fabarez in a profound exploration of this stealthy sin's grip on our personal and communal well-being. We sit with the esteemed author of "Envy: A Big Problem You Didn't Know You Had" to dissect the historical roots and biblical narratives that underscore envy's destructive power. Through our engaging conversation, gain invaluable insights into how envy has not just shaped individual lives but also influenced societal dynamics throughout the ages.

    Feel the weight of envy lift as we discuss the significance of fostering contentment and celebrate the antidote found in our relationship with God. Dr. Fabarez and I reflect on Cain and Abel's tale and other scriptural lessons to highlight the importance of gratitude in overcoming the corrosive effects of envy on our hearts and relationships. Listeners will find encouragement to embark on a journey toward selfless love by acknowledging our blessings and reframing our perspectives, steering clear of the bitterness that can arise from harmful comparisons.

    Wrap up this enlightening discussion with a look at how envy can distort the social landscape, sparking discourse on neo-Marxist ideologies and the quest for societal equality. Dr. Fabarez and I tackle the tough questions, such as whether the redistribution of wealth can truly quell societal discontent, and provide spiritual strategies to counteract envy, including embracing divine love and fostering gratitude. Join us for this episode, and walk away equipped with the wisdom to rise above envy and cultivate a life of love and contentment.
