    Choosing Joy (Part 2): Hearing God’s Voice and Letting Him Lead, feat. Sherri Christopher

    In Part 2 of their conversation, Nadine and Sherri Christopher dive deeper into one of the most asked questions among believers: How do I hear God’s voice? Sherri shares practical, approachable ways God speaks—through Scripture, thoughts, images, circumstances, and quiet moments of stillness. She emphasizes the importance of daily intimacy with God, learning His character, and creating space to listen rather than rush through spiritual routines. Together, they explore how joy flows naturally from connection with God, how love sits at the center of faith, and why pressing in—even during seasons of silence—leads to transformation. This episode encourages listeners to slow down, open their hearts (even just a crack), and trust that God is always pursuing them with love, wisdom, and purpose. About Sherri: Sherri Christopher's faith drives her to share God's Word, hope and joy with others through her book, Choosing Joy, and with those she meets through life. Her background as a retired Corporate leader of 32 years has positioned her to walk into retirement doing the things she loves from being a Coaching Director at Purposeful Living, substitute teaching, gardening, making her own fresh milled breads and pastas, teaching education classes on essential oils and supplements and leading Growth Groups. She enjoys spending time with her family and creating adventures around nature, animals and travel/camping. Follow Sherri on Instagram @Coachschristopher or ⁠visit her website⁠.

    Choosing Joy: Moving from Victim to Victor in Hard Seasons, feat. Sherri Christopher

    In this episode, Nadine sits down with author and coach Sherri Christopher to explore what it really means to choose joy—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a deep, unshakable posture of the heart. Sherri shares her personal journey through difficult seasons, including loss, financial stress, and moments that once would have broken her. Together, they unpack the difference between living with a victim mindset versus a victor mindset, and how our thoughts, words, and perspective shape the way we experience hardship. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on life as a training ground—where every season, even the painful ones, can produce growth, trust, and spiritual maturity. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by circumstances or stuck in “why me?” thinking, this episode offers hope, truth, and practical encouragement to choose joy anyway.

    Deeply Rooted (Part 2): Practical Steps to Stay Grounded in Christ

    Welcome back, sister. In Part 2 of our Deeply Rooted conversation, Nadine Dyer and Carla Sands move from the “why” to the “how”—sharing practical, grace-filled ways to become more firmly grounded in Christ when life feels shaky, loud, or overwhelming. In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to grow deeper roots—not through perfection, but through surrender. Carla shares a powerful starting point: letting God “crumble” the false foundations we’ve built on self-sufficiency, approval, performance, or control… so He can replant us in His rich, steady truth. You’ll hear practical encouragement around: What it means to surrender and let God rebuild your foundation Simple daily rhythms that create space to hear God’s voice (even if it’s just 15 minutes) Why being in Scripture matters if you want to recognize God’s voice with clarity How to root your identity in what God says about you—not what life, trauma, or culture has labeled you The role of Christ-filled community in staying grounded and avoiding self-deception The difference between “How can I please You?” vs. “How can I glorify You?” (and why that shift changes everything) As we close, Nadine and Carla share the fruit that comes from a deeply rooted life: overflowing joy, contentment, gratitude, and the ability to respond to conflict with grace instead of defensiveness—living out the fruit of the Spirit in a way that becomes increasingly steady over time. If you’ve been longing to feel less tossed around by emotions, circumstances, or expectations—and more anchored in peace, identity, and God’s love—this episode is for you. We’re here with you, and you are not alone. Learn more and plug into community at purposefullivinginc.org.

    Deeply Rooted with Carla Sands

    Season five of Linking Arms begins with a powerful, timely conversation about what it truly means to be deeply rooted. As Purposeful Living enters its ninth year, Nadine Dyer is joined by her dear friend and ministry partner Carla Sands to reflect on a theme that feels both organizational—and deeply personal. Together, they explore what it means to be rooted not in self-sufficiency, performance, identity, or the approval of others, but firmly in Christ. In this episode, Nadine and Carla unpack: What “deeply rooted” actually means for women today Why stability, sustenance, and intimacy matter in our spiritual lives How rooting ourselves in fleeting things can leave us feeling shaken and exhausted What Scripture reveals about false idols—and how returning to God restores peace, joy, and purpose Why being deeply rooted doesn’t prevent storms, but changes how we endure them This is an honest, reflective conversation for any woman who feels tired of striving, searching, or being uprooted by life’s seasons—and is longing for a firm foundation that won’t fail. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. In the next episode, Nadine and Carla will dive into the practical how: tangible ways to become deeply rooted in Christ in everyday life. If your heart is craving stability, clarity, and deeper connection with God, this episode is for you. Learn more about Purposeful Living.

    Danica Eyler on Pruning for Purpose

    In this heartfelt episode of Linking Arms, host Nadine Dyer sits down with Danica Eyler, wife, mom, attorney, magistrate judge, and candidate for Hamilton Superior Court 8, to talk about “Pruning for Purpose.” Danica opens up about her early life growing up with young parents, the challenges of a turbulent family dynamic, and the independence she was forced to develop at a young age. From buying her own bed and paying her own bills as a teenager to moving out before high school graduation, Danica reflects on how those difficult seasons shaped her character, resilience, and faith. She shares how her journey from a small southern Indiana town to becoming an attorney and now running for judge was marked by constant pruning—seasons where God removed comfort to prepare her for greater purpose. Despite hardship, she views those moments as part of her spiritual refinement, preparing her to serve others with empathy and integrity in both her personal and professional life. As the conversation closes, Danica offers encouragement to women navigating hard seasons: to trust that God uses everything for good, even when it feels unfair or overwhelming. The pruning, she reminds listeners, is never wasted—it’s part of the equipping for the purpose God has ahead. Special Guest: Danica Eyler.
