    Your Permission to Ask God the Hard Questions

    Any (good) relationship expert will tell you communication is key. Not just the easy, lighthearted conversations... but the difficult, honest ones, too. So why have we been taught to hold it all in when it comes to God? In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the biblical practice of lament... what it looks like to bring our grief, confusion, and unanswered questions to God, and how honest prayers in hard seasons are actually a sign of faith that can draw us closer to Him. Thank you for joining me as we discover the beauty of becoming together!

    Creating a Life You *Actually* Like

    Can I just say the thing everyone thinks but no one ever talks about?? Creating a life you actually like is really hard work! We stress out about whether or not we’re doing enough and whether we're making the most of this season of singleness. Then, we experience all of this pressure (from ourselves and from others) about what life "should" look like... so we begin building lives for how they look instead of how they feel. But what could our lives look like if we didn’t live buried beneath all of this pressure? What if God has given us this time not to build up this giant resume of accomplishments and experiences… but to dig deep to discover who we really are and to create a life authentic to that? My heart for this episode is to check in with you and ask, are you building a life that’s authentic to the real you, or are you building the life you think you “should”? Are you designing your life from a place of intentionality, or are you making decisions from the fear of missing out?  And I'll be sharing some ways to check in with yourself to make sure you're creating a life you *actually* like. :)

    When You're In-Between What Was and What's Next (The "Not Yet" Seasons)

    We've all experienced the "Not Yet" seasons. They’re the times when God has closed a door in an area of your life, but He hasn’t given you any direction on what’s next. And it brings feelings of uncertainty about the future, about what God’s doing–or if He’s even doing anything at all.  Today, I’d like to share some stories from the Bible that have been speaking to me lately, and dive into how we can respond in our own lives when we face these times of navigating through the “not yet.” Thanks for joining me as we discover the beauty of becoming.

    Giving Yourself the Grace to Grow

    Ever feel like your spiritual life is like one of those interstate highways that's always under construction? Like God is forever working on something in you... addressing behaviors, patterns, or attitudes to help you grow. Well, today's conversation is all about giving ourselves the grace to grow in times like these. Seasons of stretching and of growth—of working through these areas in our lives with God— aren’t always fun or easy to navigate; but with some shifts in our perspectives, we can learn to see these seasons as God’s kindness towards us, and preparation for what’s to come. So thank you for joining me as we discover the Beauty of Becoming, together.

    For the Days When It's Hard to Feel Grateful

    Have you ever had so many challenges hit you at once that it felt like you were just trying to keep your head above water? When all you want is one piece of good news—just one thing to finally go right—only to be met with more difficulties or disappointments? In today’s conversation, we'll be talking about how to walk through these kinds of seasons with authenticity–how we can shift our perspectives to both acknowledge the difficulties we're facing while also seeing the good still around us. So thank you for joining me as we discover the Beauty of Becoming, together.

    How the Desert Becomes Your Promised Land (A Lesson From Brazil)

    If we're honest... we've all experienced an area of our lives that feels like a desert. Dry. Unfruitful. Hopeless. It's easy to keep praying for something when you see movement in the right direction. But what do we do in the times when nothing seems to change—or even worse—they seem to be heading in the opposite direction? In today's episode, you're coming with me on a journey from my missions trip to Brazil, and I'm sharing what the Lord showed me about faith in the middle of a landfill. Got your passport handy? Vamos! ✈️😉

    Does God Really Care About the Things I Care About? (The Story of An Answered Prayer)

    When you've been believing + praying for something for so long—and you still haven't seen an answer—it's easy to wonder, "Does God really care about this as much as I do?" In today's episode, I share the story of one of my biggest life updates since the end of Season 1. I believe when we share our stories of breakthrough, it can become the catalyst for bringing breakthrough in another person's life (Revelation 12:11, anyone?! 🙌🏼) . Maybe the thing you're praying + hoping for looks different than mine... but the God who so beautifully answered my heart's cry is the same God who desires to answer your's, too. And no, my answered prayer wasn't a husband. 😂 At least not yet, anyways. 💁🏻‍♀️
