    No Longer an Orphan: Discovering Identity as a Cherished Daughter of God
    Have you ever felt ignored, abandoned, or rejected? If so, you're not alone!
    Join us and our special guest, Shelly Brown, as she shares her incredible journey of discovery. From her complex childhood trauma to the death of her parents, becoming a ward of the state, and living in foster care, Shelly's story is one of transformation. Through her experience, she went from a forsaken and abandoned orphan to a cherished and chosen daughter of God.

    Overcoming Shame After Divorce

    Overcoming Shame After Divorce

    Overcoming Shame after Divorce 
    Have you ever felt lost or stuck in shame after a life-altering event like a divorce?
    It can be challenging to overcome the shame and see past the pain and rejection. Still, our guest this week, a prolific inspirational fiction writer and speaker, J.C. Lafler---shares her powerful testimony of how God's grace and presence helped her overcome depression and shame after two failed marriages.
    We also dive into the story of the Woman at the Well, or the Samaritan woman in John 4, who was a social outcast after experiencing five divorces. Yet, Jesus comes to her and reveals himself as the Messiah, the Living Water, quenching her thirst for significance and security. Listen in and hear how God saw Judy in her pain and shame and sent His Spirit to visit her and fill her with His presence, the way He saw, sought, and saved the Samaritan woman.

    Overcoming Mom Guilt and Releasing Our Adult Children

    Overcoming Mom Guilt and Releasing Our Adult Children

    OVERCOMING MOM GUILT & RELEASING OUR ADULT CHILDREN
    Do you ever wrestle with mom guilt or grapple to release control and responsibility for your adult children?
    This week's podcast guest, award-winning author, inspirational speaker, and health coach Christine Trimpe, can relate, as she has been there herself!
    Christine and I delve into overcoming mom guilt and releasing our adult children—parenting from our knees—and learning that joy and sorrow can coexist when a plot twist occurs, and their lives look much different than expected.
    Christine recounts her son's traumatic brain injury and the legal battle she faced with an insurance company and the medical community.
    And we discuss the biblical character Jochebed, the mother of Moses. It took tremendous courage for Jochebed to hide Moses from the Egyptians and great faith to release him to the Lord. She had faith that her son Moses was her people's promised deliverer.
    Yet how was her mama's heart affected when Moses committed murder and fled into the wilderness? Did she despair or bear the guilt upon herself when his life looked much different than expected?
    Christine likewise shares the three most impactful lessons she learned through the trials with her son:
     
    You can carry joy and sorrow simultaneously Our job is to trust God. God's job is the outcome God cares about our children more than we will ever comprehend
