We try to squeeze as much productivity as we can from each day, but we often feel frustrated- like we never get enough accomplished. Has productivity become an idol in our lives? And what does God view as productive? Join me for this interesting convo & you just might make some new conclusions about productivity.

Join me for this convo about the many imperfections in life- i.e. a rough family outing bc of one child's bad attitude; date night going south when suddenly you feel hurt & misunderstood; tension with your sibling or boss. These are a few examples of the imperfections we face on a daily basis, and we can either sulk, get upset, deny our disappointment, OR we can turn towards God. 

These messy, imperfect circumstances are actually opportunities for us to embrace God's presence and learn to "do life" with Him. He'll never force you to choose Him, but He lovingly invites us ever closer to His heart. In this episode, we'll discuss HOW to practice engaging God in the middle of all these messy, imperfect moments. 

We love the Christmas season, but sometimes it's so stressful, right? Join me as I share four simple tips that can help put some happy in your holiday season. I hope these practical ideas help your holiday season have more peace and a lot less stress. 

Loneliness....it's something we all deal with, but sometimes we try to fill the void with increased activity & busy schedules. Loneliness can be relentless at times, and if we don't deal with our disappointment & pain, we can end up pulling back, withdrawing, or isolating from God--which further increases loneliness. In this episode, we'll discuss how to engage God when we feel all alone. I pray HOPE awakens in your heart as you join me for this practical convo as we anchor our hearts in the reality of God's goodness and nearness. 

Just as our closets get messy and cluttered, so do our souls. And the clutter that's in our soul often keeps us from the most important part of life: JESUS. In this episode, we'll explore ways to declutter our time, thoughts, & emotions, and we'll discuss how to actively engage the Lord in the process of decluttering so we can WALK in greater depth of intimacy with Him. 

Do you know how to "bounce back" relationally after you're super angry with your spouse? If not, you may end up erecting emotional walls or punishing with a cold shoulder or the silent treatment. In this episode, I candidly share about my recent struggle of feeling furious at my husband- about an issue that felt huge in the moment, but really it wasn't a big deal. (Can you relate?) Join me as we discuss HOW to Get Over It, develop emotional resilience & increased dependence on God when we're angry & about to go off the rails. If you occasionally allow anger or relational snafus to ruin your day, then this episode is for you as we process how to "get over it" & move on.
