    Rooted In Healing

    In this episode of The Rooted Podcast, I’m sitting down with one of my dearest friends, licensed clinical social worker Ashley Skidmore, for a deep, honest, and sometimes funny conversation about therapy, faith, shame, vulnerability, and what it really looks like to care for our mental health. At the heart of this conversation is a simple reminder: you can be deeply rooted in your faith and still need help. You can pray and go to therapy. You can trust God and still feel anxious. You can have faith and still experience grief. Needing support doesn't make you weak. Sometimes, vulnerability is part of the healing. In this episode, we talk about: Faith and mental health Therapy and Christianity The shame that can surround asking for help Church hurt and spiritual abuse Prayer, Scripture, and professional mental health support The difference between therapy and coaching Finding the right therapist and knowing when it's not a good fit Why therapists need therapy too Vulnerability and leadership How empathy can help break the cycle of shame Knowing when it may be time to seek additional support If you've ever wondered whether you can be rooted in your faith while also struggling with your mental health, this conversation is for you. A little encouragement from Ashley: Trust yourself. Get curious about what you're feeling, consider what your next step might be, and remember that you get to decide what support looks like for you.

    Rooted in His Character

    In this episode of Rooted, Jenn gets personal about her journey of learning Scripture as an adult and shares three things she is learning about God’s character:  God is sovereign. Even when we don’t understand what He’s doing, we can trust that He sees the whole picture.  God sees and hears us. We are never invisible to Him—not in our suffering, our mistakes, our waiting, or our uncertainty.  God is a promise keeper. God’s promises don’t change because our circumstances change or because we fall short. His character remains faithful. Because we don’t have to know everything about God’s plan to trust the God who does. A few questions to sit with after listening: What are you grateful for today?Where are you struggling to trust God with the “why”?Do you need to be reminded that God sees you?What promise are you currently waiting on God to fulfill?Come sit with us, get rooted, and remember: His character doesn’t change.

    Rooted In Surrender

    Welcome back to Season 2 of the Rooted Podcast! Today we kick off the season with a very special episode in honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. This heartfelt conversation with 3 moms whose children are living with DIPG will inspire you and make you think about where your faith is truly rooted. I was blessed to speak to these 3 beautiful Moms. Learn more about them here: Katie - lives in VA with husband, Nick, and sons, Luke 12 and John Paul 10.  We are JMU sports fans and enjoy trips to the beach and spending time with family and friends. John Paul was diagnosed with DIPG 16 months ago and continues to be in the fight.  When not working and taking care of the boys, Nick and Katie have become deeply involved in increasing awareness about DIPG and raising money to support research.   Holly lives in Indiana with her husband, Josh, and three girls: Ella, 14; Mya, 11; and Cora, 9. We love spending time together and enjoying nature. We are becoming even more deeply rooted in God's word and purpose for our lives as we move through this new battle.  Fallon lives in Washington State with her husband, Roger, and their four daughters—Tanner and Taylor, 17, Tinsley, 15, and Tylie, 13. They are an active, multi-sport family who loves winters in the mountains and summers on the lake. Faith is the foundation of their family, and through Tylie’s battle, that foundation has only grown stronger. Their trust in God has become their fight song. Fallon created TobinPartyof6 to encourage others walking through battles of their own, support local teams, and share God’s Word through faith-based apparel. Ten percent of all profits are donated to pediatric brain tumor research.
