Send us Fan Mail By definition, strongholds are well-fortified places - which can sound like a positive thing, unless they are well-fortified fortresses of sin you've built!

This conversation is filled with vulnerability as we discuss our own...

Send us Fan Mail As a mom of three kids, one of my favorite things to do is hear from other moms what's working and not working for them.

One of my favorite people to talk about this topic with is Lynley Mandrell. Lynley is one of th...

Send us Fan Mail Body positivity is a social movement that promotes a positive view of all bodies, regardless of the shape, size, weight, etc. But we want to take it deeper.

Send us Fan Mail "God, if you'll just give me a sign I'll do it." How often have we asked God for the biggest sign in the world, and then wonder if it's him when we get it? We desperately want to hear from him, but how can we be confident it's he who we hear? On today's show, Christy Wright shares how she's turned up the volume of God in her life.  Christy W...

Send us Fan Mail We fill our days with so many things that aren't necessarily bad, but if we were honest with ourselves, they aren't things that are sanctifying us. Today, Whitney Capps and I discuss these things in our life and how we plan to remove or eliminate them from our daily life. Some of the things we're letting go of may surprise you, or you may think they're silly, b...

Send us Fan Mail Recently I found an extremely diverse study done over 100 years and the findings blew me away. Regardless of age, ethnicity, geographical location, and financial status, the happiest people were those who had the deepest and most intentional friendships. Immediately, I knew that this year I wanted to focus more on the friendships in my life to cultivate deeper and more meaningful...

Send us Fan Mail New Year goals can be tricky. I’m guessing you either have a love or hate relationship with them, and let’s be honest, maybe both! So why is it that we find ourselves feeling the need to make new goals year after year? Is it sweet nudges from the Holy Spirit? Has God given you a calling he’s asking you to step into? Is there a sanctification process that needs to take place in cer...

Send us Fan Mail Throughout chapters in Psalms and other passages scattered through the Bible, we see people using their entire body to worship God. Whether it’s dancing undignified in the streets, wearing sackcloth and ashes, or falling on their face, we see the people of God have bodily responses to the Spirit of God. But even as we read about it, are we that comfortable, or are we that surrende...

Send us Fan Mail Most of us say we believe that Jesus has come to give us abundant life, however, we still look to the world to give us the joy, comfort, and validation we desperately desire. How do we define abundant, and if we define it the way Jesus does, are we looking in all the wrong places? On today’s show I sit down with Illuminator Whitney Capps as we break down John 10:10 and talk about...

Send us Fan Mail Too often we surrender our hearts to God, but hold back the surrendering of our bodies. After a personal journey I’ve been on this year, I wanted to sit down with Alisa Keeton and talk about her book The Body Revelation. Alisa does a beautiful job at helping us see the temple our bodies are, how we listen to them, and how to care for them in obedience to God.  Alisa Keeton is a le...

Send us Fan Mail Summary:   Winging it is the art of doing something with little to no practice or preparation. While winging it can seem fun, spontaneous, and may even make you feel good about yourself in the moment, it inevitably leads to stress, chaos, and pride around what YOU can do and not what the Holy Spirit is doing. On today’s show, I sat down with Lisa Whittle and we talked about wingin...

Send us Fan Mail Summary:    If you’re a woman scrolling through instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen it: Self-help quotes, tips, and trips are everywhere! “You’re worth it.” “You deserve it.” “You got this.” It may sound good initially, but is this aligned with living a life following Jesus?
