    Stop Just Getting Through It: Finding Purpose & Joy RIGHT Where God Has You

    Are you in a season where you're just trying to GET through it to the next thing? Maybe you're waiting until your kids are older, until you hit a goal, until life feels more fulfilling — and THEN you'll really show up for God.  I get real about a heart check I had in motherhood — realizing I was running on empty, living out of overwhelm and exhaustion instead of purpose and joy. I share what shifted everything and how recognizing that where God has placed you right now is intentional can completely transform your everyday. In this episode: Why we fall into "I'll live more purposefully when…" thinking (in motherhood, relationships, goals & faith) My honest moment with the Fruit of the Spirit — and what I realized wasn't showing up in my life How gratitude became a game-changer (+ the Scriptures that back it up) Why the mundane moments — tantrums, 2am nursing, emails — are purposeful places for God to grow and use you The calling we have RIGHT NOW: to love, serve, and walk with God wherever He has us Scriptures referenced: Galatians 5 (Fruit of the Spirit), Colossians 3:17, Colossians 3:23, Matthew 22:37, Romans 14:8, Philippians 2:3-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 100:4, Ephesians 5:20, Philippians 4:6 Links: Daily Grace Co.

    Acting on God's Voice Matters: Don't Miss Out

    Have you ever felt God pressing something on your heart and wondered, is that really Him? Do I need to step into what He’s speaking to me about? In this honest, conviction-filled episode, we're talking about the still small voice of God — what He's been whispering to me lately and why acting on those promptings matters more than we realize. Friend, this one is personal. Lately God has been pressing some things on my heart, and instead of brushing past them, I want to share what He's been showing me — and why I think listening to Him is so important in our lives. In this episode, I'm getting real about three areas He's been stirring in me: How much I'm actually seeking Him (not just squeezing Him in) Whether I'm truly pointing my kids to Jesus — and exemplifying Him in our home Living less out of lack and more out of joyful intention In this episode: What God has been pressing on my heart lately (and the messy honesty of discerning His voice) 2 reasons acting on God's promptings matters The ask, listen, obey rhythm  Being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer A personal confession about where I want to grow Episode Outline: 03:30 What God’s been speaking to me about in my own life  07:10 Two reasons that it is so important to listen to God’s voice 11:30 Exhortation: Don’t miss out on what God has for you 12:30 When you’re not sure “Is this from God?” LINKS: Daily Grace Co SALE: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=293954  Learn more about your ad choices.

    She’s here! In this episode of She Lives Purposefully, I'm sitting down with my husband to recap baby #2's birth story, share how postpartum has been so different this time around, and open up about what God has been pressing on my heart in this season. We talk a lot about our experience going from one kid to two and how we got here. Then we'll get into the convictions God has been putting on our hearts lately: from less secular music (and more Christian music we’ve filling my home with), to becoming a mama who points my kids to Jesus (which has to start with me), to being a better friend, and learning to actually listen when God presses something on my heart. Friend, grab your iced latte (mine is currently decaf) and let's catch up. In this episode we talk about: Baby #2's birth recap Going from 0–1 vs. 1–2 kids How postpartum has felt this time around Why we’re filling my home with more Christian music Pointing my kids to Jesus — and how it starts with me Being a better friend Learning to listen to what God is pressing on your heart Episode Outline 00:00 We’re BACK! 02:15 Birth Story  14:40 PostPartum  15:30 Our toddler meets our baby for the first time and the 1 to 2 adjustment 29:00 Giving up secular music (for now), implementing a better devotional time and routine, being more intentional friends, and pointing our kids to Jesus  Links: Get 10% off Daily Grace Co with code MEGANHOLMES10 Get 10% off Hosanna Revival with code SHELIVESPURPOSEFULLY My Christian Music Playlist Learn more about your ad choices.

    How Do I Know If I’m a Good Christian? + Christian Books for Spiritual Growth | Christian Q&A with Donny

    Have you ever wondered: “Am I actually being a good Christian?” In this Mini Encouragement episode (under 15 minutes), Donny and I answer a listener question about how to know if you're living as a faithful Christian and how to grow deeper in your relationship with Christ. First, it’s important to remember something foundational: We are not Christians because we are good enough. We are Christians because we trust in Jesus as our Savior and Lord. The Christian life isn’t about perfection—it’s about seeking God, loving Him, repenting when we fall, and continuing to walk in His ways. In this episode we talk about: What it really means to walk faithfully with Christ Why the Christian life is often described as running a race The importance of repentance, obedience, and love for God Why following Jesus should never become just a spiritual checklist Encouragement if you feel like you're struggling in your faith We also share a few Christian books that can help strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of God’s character. Some of the books mentioned in this episode include: 📖 Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis: https://amzn.to/3P5H1Xe  📖 Gentle and Lowly – Dane Ortlund: https://amzn.to/4sHkFJQ 📖 Crazy Love – Francis Chan: https://amzn.to/4siaZWv 📖 Desiring God – John Piper: https://amzn.to/46Yj8a9  Learn more about your ad choices.

    How to Seek God in Busy Seasons | Practical Ways to Grow Spiritually

    Life can get busy—really busy. Between work, family, responsibilities, and everyday life, it can sometimes feel difficult to find time to sit down and spend intentional time with God. If you’ve ever wondered: How do I keep seeking God when life feels overwhelming? This Mini Encouragement episode (under 15 minutes) is for you. The truth is that every season of life looks different. Some seasons allow for long quiet mornings with the Lord, while others feel full from the moment you wake up. But even in the busiest seasons, God still invites us to seek Him. In this episode we talk about practical ways to stay spiritually connected when life is full, including: ✨ Giving yourself grace during different seasons of life ✨ Finding creative ways to stay in God’s Word daily ✨ Listening to Scripture through apps like Dwell or the Bible App while driving, cooking, or cleaning ✨ Making prayer a constant conversation with God throughout your day ✨ Being intentional about the content you allow into your life One of the most encouraging reminders from Scripture is that we are called to “pray without ceasing.” When life feels full, it becomes even more important to fill our minds with things that point us toward Christ. Choose the things of God instead of letting the noise of the world fill those spaces. If you’re in a busy season of life, this episode is a reminder that seeking God may look different right now—but it is still possible and still deeply important. Learn more about your ad choices.
