TLR 137: Coming Home to God with Caroline Saunders
It's easy to miss the Good News if we don't understand God's heart toward us.
Even as Christians, we can spend so much time trying to please God, we miss the joy of simply being His child.
In this episode of The Living Room, Caroline Saunders and I have a delightful discussion about the God and His heart toward us. We talk about our own spiritual journeys, but Caroline also shares powerful truths from her new Bible study, Come Home: Tracing God's Promise of Home Through Scripture. She outlines steps to a deeper friendship with Jesus and offers advice like:
* Practical tips for studying the Bible
* The impact of themes in Scripture
* Encouragement for those struggling in their faith
* The beautiful belonging that is ours in Christ
Hope you enjoy the interview like I did!

TLR 135: The Gift of Sacred Rest with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith
If you were to take the pulse of your life, what would you find?
Does it feel like you're in "a-fib" - ping-ponging off one responsibility to another? Or have you flat-lined and feel a little dead?
Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith has been where you’ve been and in this episode of The Living Room Podcast, she’s shares lessons from her book, Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity. You were not made to go full tilt and burn out for Jesus. He created you for an abundant life. And that includes cultivating a rest that renews and restores your soul.
Check out Dr. Saundra's "Rest Quiz." It will help you gauge where you fall in seven specific areas. (And be sure to tune in to next week's YouTube video where I'll unpack how I'm going to apply the "7 Types of Rest" this summer!)

TLR 133: She’s Not Your Enemy with Jenn Schultz
Let's be honest...building friendships with other women can be difficult!
Even as Christians, fear of rejection, insecurity and the snare of compare often make us hold each other at a distance.
In this episode, Jenn Schultz and I talk about her new study, She's Not Your Enemy: Conquering Our Insecurities So We Can Build God's Kingdom Together. Satan loves to divide and conquer, but God wants us to push back the obstacles and step into the sweet sisterhood He wants for His daughters.

TLR 132: Taking Leaps of Faith for God with Rachel G. Scott
Is God calling you to take a leap of faith?
It's risky stepping out when God calls...but its even riskier not to obey.
In this episode of The Living Room, Rachel G. Scott shares from her book, Taking the 5 Leaps of Faith: Experiencing God's Faithfulness as You Respond to His Call. She shares from her own journey and shows us how to prepare, plan and execute the leap God is asking us to take.
"Taking leaps always includes risks and tons of unknowns," Rachel says, "but I want you to remember that the risk is worth Heaven’s reward."
