    Hope for Your  Challenging Relationships with Special Guest, Ashton Weber

    Hope for Your  Challenging Relationships with Special Guest, Ashton Weber

    Hey Friend!
     
    Ever wonder how you can navigate the often challenging teen years and come out on the other side with a solid and strong relationship with your child? Do you wonder why some relationships seem to have more conflict than most and want to know what you can do to lessen the conflict? 
     
    Join us as my youngest daughter, Ashton Weber, and I crack open the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship, focusing on the rocky but enlightening teenage years. Now a newlywed, Ashton sheds light on her teenage emotional and mental development and how it influenced her reactions and how those same reactions likely influence your teen, too. 
     
    Our conversation becomes super enlightening (for all relationships!)  as we discuss how, in the thick of conflict, self-awareness, prayer, and emotional regulation are our best allies. Discover how naming your goal during a disagreement can dramatically shift your approach, fostering healthier resolutions. We discuss practical strategies like self-talk, seeking to understand another's perspective, and how divine assistance comes into play, offering you tools to balance your emotions while remaining realistic in the midst of conflict.
     
    I learned so much from our conversation and I think you will, too!

    When a Conflict a Loved One Faces Affects You. with special guest Dr. JP Jones

    When a Conflict a Loved One Faces Affects You. with special guest Dr. JP Jones

    Hey Friend!
    All of us face times where something outside our relationship affects what’s going on inside our relationship–whether it’s drama at work, with an extended family member, child, or friend. People rarely talk about what to do when this happens–until now! 
    Join me as I kick off our new series on healthy conflict and peaceful living with my pastor/hubby, Dr. JP Jones, the founding senior pastor of Crossline Church. We share personal stories, including how church-related issues impacted our marriage and what we learned about how to weather outside storms so they don’t shipwreck our relationships.
    We normalize conflict as part of human experience, talk about what we wished we’d known sooner, and discuss practical ways we can give each other grace.
    You'll discover the power of self-awareness and honest communication with God, especially when dealing with challenging relationships like those with difficult children. We dive into the significance of fostering our own healthy spiritual and emotional life, which, in turn, affects our relational life.
    This episode is practical, biblical, and real!

    Why Girl Dads Matter with guest Dr. Michelle Watson-Canfield

    Why Girl Dads Matter with guest Dr. Michelle Watson-Canfield

    What if unlocking the secrets to a successful life started with understanding the crucial role of fathers in their daughters' lives? 
    In honor of Father’s Day, we are shedding light on the importance of fathers in a girl’s/woman’s life. 
    Join me and my special guest, Dr. Michelle Watson-Canfield, as we explore the many long-term benefits of intentional connection between dads and their daughters and how we can help foster this relationship in positive ways. Loaded with scientific research, biblical insight, and practical tips, this conversation will encourage and equip you to build the relationship with your daughter that she desperately wants and needs.
    If you are a mom of a daughter, you’ll learn ways to encourage the father-daughter relationship. Maybe just as important, you’ll also learn what NOT to do. 

    In addition, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of our podcast reaching the top 2% globally, a milestone we could only achieve thanks to your support. Thank you!!
    To mark this special occasion, we're kicking off a book club series centered around my book, Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life. In the next few weeks, I’ll be joined by my own family members—husband, son, daughters, daughter-in-law, and sons-in-law–as we tackle how to handle conflict in a healthy way. Whoa! I’m equally parts excited and scared for these conversations! But they’re sure to be filled with real-life wisdom that will help us all.

    Transform Your Home: Decluttering Tips and Challenges with Kathi Lipp

    Transform Your Home: Decluttering Tips and Challenges with Kathi Lipp

    What if you could transform your cluttered space into a serene sanctuary with just a few mindful decisions? Join us as bestselling author Kathi Lipp shares her compassionate and practical strategies for organizing and decluttering your space. Even if you’re neat rather than messy, you likely have more stuff cluttering your space than you realize (think pantry, make-up drawer, closets) and you’ll benefit from our discussion.
    Kathi talks candidly about her personal journey from a cluttered upbringing to becoming an expert in managing clutter. We cover the emotional and social impacts of living with too much stuff, and Kathy emphasizes that clutter doesn't define who you are. You'll gain valuable insights into overcoming common hurdles like decision fatigue and finding time to create an organized environment (spoiler: it takes a lot less time than you think! Kathi tells us how much.)
    Kathy also introduces us to the power of curating your wardrobe and making thoughtful choices about what to keep and let go. By using Kathi's three guiding questions—Do I love it? Do I use it? Would I buy it again?—you can confidently make decluttering decisions. 
    Kathi’s tips and practical advice makes the daunting task of decluttering something we all can achieve.

    The Transformative Power of Praise with Donna Jones

    The Transformative Power of Praise with Donna Jones

    Hey Friend!
     
    I know you’ve heard people say, “Praise the Lord!” You may have even said it yourself. But what is praise, exactly? How would you explain it to your child or a new believer? 
     
    Since praising God is mentioned hundreds of times in scripture, we need to understand what it is, why it’s important, and how it can change our lives.  
     
    Today’s episode promises to leave you inspired to elevate your own acts of worship as you recognize the profound potential that lies in every word, and every note of praise we offer to God.

Finding Hope and Joy in the Midst of Hardship

What an encouragement! It is so important as believers to not give up on sharing our personal testimonies of how God shows up. Love your podcast, thank you for being faithful and providing a platform that leads us to Him and His Word in the midst of our dark valleys.

Mrs. Futch ,

Ever so Thankful

Donna is an absolute inspiration for me. Her Bible knowledge is amazing and so practical. The scriptures she teaches on are so powerful and yet perfect for the day or season I’m walking through. I have cried, laughed, and rejoiced listening to this podcast. I encourage everyone to put on God’s word daily and this is a great place to start!
