How can we believe we will always have enough during a time or lack or loss?  Then, I wrap it up with 4 things you crazy practical can DO to DEVELOP a Biblical Abundance...

Today I'm chatting with special guest and fellow sister in ministry, Nichole Chavez, about forgiveness. Specifically, forgiving other people. Even more specifically, forgiving people who don't "deserve it" and haven't asked for it.  Nichole shares her story (Trigger Warning: story contains an account of physical abuse) and how at first she tried to bury it, pretending like it didn't happen. T...

Lately, I've been loving the story found in Luke 24:13-35 of when a risen Jesus appears and converses with two confused followers. As I've read this passage with no agenda, only to let it teach me, God has brought to my attention four soul-satisfying things: Why God sometimes feels distant when He's really right there How do people come to accept Jesus as Lord / get saved What it means when feelin...

Well, you've come to the right place. Rhonda is the author of 6 bo...

Monica contacted me for a check-in session. We completed coaching almost 2 years ago and at that time we worked through some deeply rooted lies and limiting beliefs. Since that time she had learned to internalize God's opinion of her and step more into her gifts and calling and even found herself in positions of leadership among her friends, family, and workplace. In this session, we explore the f...

Today I am chatting with my wise (oh so wise!) friend and mentor, Lynn Baber. An accomplished author, business owner, speaker, and coach, every word she speaks is purposeful and uniquely powerful.  Simplicity, clarity, and peace are all gifts from the Lord, yet most of us lack them. Not only does the world war to distract us, and overwhelm us with too many options, but we also lie to ourselve...

Today, my friends, I speak from the heart and remind you of this simple truth... our God is trustworthy. No matter what He is calling you to do, do it. Where is your hope placed today? How high is your positive expectation that He is good and will come through? Hope is good for us, and pleases the Lord, but what should we be hoping in, exactly? Listen in and I'll tell you. Take heart today, take h...

We worked together over a year ago, helping her overcome her lifelong struggle with insecurity and truly claim God's unconditional love for her. Her...

Other than reading my Bible and prayer, this one habit has been responsible for producing the most joy, growth, freedom, faith, and intimacy with Christ in my life. It has the power to auto-correct so many things that I hear women complain about! Things like, "I feel stuck," or "God feels distant," and so much more.  But here's the deal, there is a very specific type of journaling that I am t...

What is Identity exactly and where does it come from? Or rather where should it come from?! In today's episode, I have the honor of chatting about this important topic with Author and Speaker, Esther Pannebaker. Together we discuss our own journeys with how we came to root our identities in who God says we are and in knowing that we are loved by Him.  When someone's identity is misplaced or u...

Today I want to help you discern what is Biblical Truth and what is NOT from the massive hit and New York Times #1 Best Seller, "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle.

As I pull out the main themes of her book, I also share a bit of my own...
