    E6: A Living Sacrifice: When Calling and Caregiving Collide, With Beth Lawrence

    What happens when your sense of calling feels clear—but your daily reality is caregiving? In this episode, we explore the tension between pursuing your God-given gifts and faithfully showing up in a season that demands your time, energy, and presence. For many caregivers, especially mothers of children with additional needs, this tension is daily, and often unseen. This conversation with author and speaker, Beth Lawrence, examines what it means to be a “living sacrifice” in a modern context: not just in ministry or outward service, but in the hidden, repetitive, and often exhausting work of caregiving. How do you reconcile the desire to build, create, lead, or serve beyond your home when your current assignment keeps you anchored in place? You’ll hear reflections on: The internal conflict between calling and capacity Redefining purpose in constrained seasons Letting go of timelines, expectations, and comparison Trusting that calling is not canceled, even when it is delayed This episode also addresses the grief that can come with setting aside dreams, as well as the deeper formation that often happens in seasons of limitation. We don’t offer trite solutions but instead process through tension that so many of us walk in.   If you’ve wrestled with questions like “Will I ever have space for my gifts again?”, or “Does this season matter?”—this episode provides grounded encouragement rooted in faith, surrender, and long-term perspective.

    E5: Processing The Pain In your Story with Tori Hein

    In this episode, I sit down with Tori Hein for a candid and unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to walk through hard seasons and to process our struggles in ways that are honest and invite Jesus to meet us there.. This discussion goes beyond theory and into real life, where emotions are often pushed aside and survival mode takes over. We talk openly about my own struggles with not processing emotions well, and how that can impact our faith, our relationships, and our ability to show up fully in our lives. This episode creates space for honesty, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we explore how fear, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm can quietly shape our decisions and what it looks like to begin acknowledging those patterns in a healthy, faith-centered way. If you are someone who feels stretched thin, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure how to process what you’re carrying, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we discuss: The prodigal son and the older brother and how both need the FatherThe difference between transparency and vulnerability What does it look like to stop and actually feel the pain we have been avoidingResources for you if you need to do this type of work in your own heartThis episode is an invitation to slow down, become aware, and begin navigating your inner world with honesty and grace.
