    Adopted, Rejected, and Still Chosen | Letters to Me - Lyndy Stokes | Episode 36

    What would you say to a younger version of yourself? In this first episode of our new Letters to Me series, I sit down with Lyndy Stokes to talk about her story—one shaped by adoption, identity questions, and the deep ache of rejection… and ultimately, the truth that she was chosen all along. Lyndy is an author, mom of three, and the creator of Light and Truth Company, where she helps families engage with Scripture in simple, meaningful ways. In this conversation, we walk through her story—from being adopted as an infant, to a pivotal moment as a teenager that shifted how she saw herself, to the years that followed as she searched for identity in all the wrong places. We talk about:  how adoption shaped her understanding of identity  the moment everything changed at 13  what rejection can do to the way we see ourselves  where we tend to look for worth when we feel unseen  how God was present in every part of her story—even when she couldn’t see it  and what she would say now to her younger self This conversation is honest, raw, and full of hope for anyone who has ever questioned their worth or wondered where they truly belong. If this episode encourages you, make sure you’re following the podcast so you don’t miss the rest of the Letters to Me series.

    Temptation When You’re Hurt, Unseen, or Doing “Fine” (Part 2) | Episode 35

    Last week, we talked about how temptation shows up when we’re overwhelmed, burned out, and just trying to survive. This week, we’re continuing the conversation—looking at the quieter, more subtle places temptation shows up in our everyday lives. Because sometimes it’s not about survival mode… Sometimes it’s when you’re:  Hurt or misunderstood  Feeling unseen or overlooked  Or honestly… when everything seems “fine” In this episode, we talk about:  Why hurt can make us want to pull others into our offense  The temptation to isolate, avoid, or justify distance  What it really means to feel unseen (and how we sometimes contribute to it)  How “good seasons” can quietly pull us away from God  And how to actually respond in the moment—not just in theory We also break down three simple anchors to help you navigate temptation in real life: The Spirit. Scripture. And Relationships. This conversation is honest, layered, and incredibly practical—and a reminder that you are not alone in any of this. If Part 1 helped you recognize temptation… Part 2 helps you respond to it.

    Temptation in Burnout, Pain, and Survival Mode (Part 1) | Episode 34

    Temptation doesn’t only show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up when we’re exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, hurt, or just trying to make it through the day.

This is Part 1 of a two-part panel discussion wrapping up the temptation series. In this conversation, they talk about: how temptation often meets legitimate needs in illegitimate wayswhy burnout and emotional exhaustion can make us more vulnerablethe temptation to numb, escape, hide, or pretend we’re okaythe power of bringing struggles into the lightwhy Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and trusted relationships matter so much when we’re trying to overcomeThis episode is honest, practical, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt drained, stuck, or tempted to cope in ways that only create more distance from God, others, or themselves.

    Episode 33: Jesus, Pride, and the Blessings That Lead Us Away

    Temptation doesn’t always come dressed as something bad. Sometimes it looks like a blessing. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we finish our journey through the temptations of Jesus in Matthew 4 and uncover why the most dangerous temptations are the ones that feel justified, spiritual, or even good. We explore: How temptation meets legitimate needs in illegitimate waysWhy pride and self-reliance quietly erode our relationship with GodThe danger of choosing shortcuts over callingWhy Satan’s offers often look like blessingsHow Jesus resisted temptation and protected what mattered mostJesus was offered power, validation, and relief — things His people wanted and expected. But instead of taking the shortcut, He chose obedience, trust, and purpose. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of chasing things that look good but leave them empty — and who wants to become an overcomer by following the way of Jesus. 👉 Subscribe to the Everyday Truths Podcast so you don’t miss what’s next 👉 Share with someone who’s wrestling with temptation or direction 👉 Leave a review to help this ministry reach more people 👨‍👩‍👧 Don’t forget to check out the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, now live for families.

    Episode 32: Jesus, Pride and Twisted Truth (The Temptation to Prove Yourself)

    Pride doesn’t usually feel like pride. It feels like being right. Being justified. Being better. Being seen. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we continue our conversation on temptation by looking at the second temptation of Jesus — when He’s challenged to jump from the top of the temple and prove who He is. We talk about: Why pride always looks like truth from the insideHow Scripture can be twisted to support the wrong agendaThe danger of testing God instead of trusting HimHow pride damages relationships with God, others, and ourselvesWhy Jesus refused to take the shortcut — even when it made senseJesus didn’t overcome temptation by proving Himself. He overcame it by protecting relationship and trusting the Father.

    Why Kids Need Real Faith Conversations (Introducing Everyday Truths Kids)

    This is a special one-off episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast—and it’s all about kids. In this episode, I’m sharing the heart behind the launch of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, a brand-new podcast created to help kids grow a simple, real faith—and help families have meaningful conversations together. This podcast started with real conversations in everyday life: in the car, during girls’ nights, and through honest questions kids already ask. It’s shaped by my own children’s curiosity, courage, and desire to share faith with other kids. We talk about: Why faith conversations with kids matter more than we realizeWhy parents and trusted adults are already equipped—even without perfect answersHow modeling real, imperfect faith makes a lasting impactWhy you don’t need to outsource spiritual conversations with your kidsWhether you’re a parent or simply someone who has kids in your life, this episode is an encouragement that you are the right person to have these conversations. 🗓 Everyday Truths Kids Podcast launches February 18, 2026 🔗 Learn more: everydaytruths.com/kids Coming next on the Everyday Truths Podcast: the Overcomer series—exploring temptation, trust, and how Jesus meets us in everyday struggles.

    Beyond the Manger

    Christmas doesn’t end when we pack up the nativity and drag the tree to the curb. The arrival of Jesus wasn’t just a sweet, sentimental moment—it was a cosmic one. In this final episode of the Christmas series, we talk about how the story goes beyond the manger into our identity, our peace, and the way we walk into January and beyond. In this episode we’ll explore: Why the angels’ announcement to the shepherds was a cosmic event, not just a cute scene (Luke 2:8–14) What it really means that “the Word became flesh” and how I explain that to my kids (John 1:1, 14) How Jesus’ coming gives us a new identity as children of God, not spiritual employees trying to earn our keep (John 1:12; Romans 8:15–17) The difference between fitting in and belonging—and why Christmas anchors us in real belonging How Jesus brings a peace the world cannot manufacture, especially for those carrying heaviness this season (Isaiah 9:6–7; Philippians 4:7; Galatians 5:22–23) Why suffering is not the end of the story, and how Revelation 21 gives us hope when life feels anything but “merry and bright” If you’re feeling let down after Christmas, weighed down by grief or stress, or just wondering how any of this actually impacts your real life in January—this conversation is for you. 🧒 Everyday Truths Kids Podcast is coming!Short, 5–10 minute episodes to help you talk about faith with the kids in your life—on the way to school, at bedtime, or around the table.👉 Get updates here: everydaytruths.com/subscribe 📬 Stay connectedGet weekly encouragement, updates on new podcast episodes, and details about upcoming projects by joining the email list:👉 everydaytruths.com/subscribe 📱 Let’s connect on socialI’m sharing 90-second Christmas devotionals, honest reflections, and a good dose of humor all season long: Instagram (me): @the_sherri_richard Instagram (podcast): @everyday_truths_podcast YouTube: @everyday-truths-with-sherri TikTok: @sherrichard If this episode encouraged you, would you take a second to subscribe, leave a rating, or share it with a friend who might need this reminder?
