If God gave you what you’ve been praying for, would you have the capacity to steward it well?  I know it may be difficult to accept where you are now. Maybe you’ve been working towards more for a long time. But you will be so much better off if you make room for [...]

Have you been asking God for overflow in your finances? What if He’s waiting on you to better steward the money you already have? If it’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that sometimes, it’s not about having more money. Sometimes, it’s about growing up and realizing that most of the time, you already [...]

When I sat down with Brenda Palmer last year at The Sister Circle Live, I knew I wanted to talk to her about obedience. After all, she wrote a book called The Journey of Yes.  Most of us like the idea of obedience. We love hearing stories about people who stepped out in [...]

Summer has a way of revealing what our lives actually look like. Not because the season itself is magical, but because our routines change. As the days stretch longer, our structure tends to loosen up. We travel more, spend more, scroll more, and suddenly realize that we’ve drifted further from the life we [...]

How are your people skills? For some, relating to others seems to come naturally. You may look forward to engaging with your family and friends and feel charged up after being with them.

In this episode, I sit down with Jade Warshaw to talk about something that affects every single one of us: money. But not just money in spreadsheets and budgets — money in our emotions, our marriages, our fears, and our identities. Jade shares her personal story of paying off $460,000 in debt — [...]

Do you often feel like you’re coming up short? Like, despite your best efforts, there just isn’t enough of you to go around? If this sounds like you, then I’m sure you know that striving for abundance is often met with frustration and emptiness. But when you see what you have as enough, [...]

Priscilla Shirer is the founder of Going Beyond Ministries, a Bible teacher, author, actress (yes, she finally admitted it), and, most importantly, my only sister. She is my daily phone call before 7 am, a cheerleader, and the most content person I know. Underneath all of that is a woman who has chosen, [...]

Have you been asking God to bless you with more? Do you long to finally receive all that you’ve been praying for? What if God is waiting for you to release the things you’re holding onto so that you can experience His best for your life? I know how hard it can be [...]

https://youtu.be/metQ7yR2P4o   In this episode, I sit down with Crystal Aikin — singer, nurse, and the very first winner of Sunday Best. Crystal’s voice has moved millions, but what stood out to me most in this conversation wasn’t just her gift — it was her clarity about calling, obedience, and trusting God [...]

https://youtu.be/O_4kBwqenKg   In this episode, I sit down with someone incredibly special to me — my Aunt Ruth, Ruth Ann Cannings. She’s a pastor, counselor, speaker, and a woman who has spent decades walking faithfully with God. But what stands out most is the quiet, grounded spiritual authority she carries — not [...]

https://youtu.be/MDkcs28aqEo   In this episode, I sit down with my friend Megan Fate Marshman for a conversation that felt holy from the very first minute. Megan is one of those people whose words don’t just sound powerful — they’re lived, tested, and refined through both joy and deep loss. We talk about [...]

I’m heading into this next season with a clear conviction: I don’t want to do more—I want to live more aligned. In this episode, I share what isn’t coming in the year ahead: more hustle, louder striving, or overhauling my entire life. Instead, I’m accepting an invitation into a slower, steadier way of [...]

Has this year left you feeling disappointed and discouraged beyond belief? If you’ve found yourself derailed by disruptions and interruptions while trying to move forward, you are not alone. Many of us start off the year with the best of intentions, only to find ourselves living in regret after life happens. And while [...]

Have you been so busy planning for your future that you’ve left God out of the mix? With all of the internal and external pressure to push farther faster, what would happen if you decided to lean into God’s provision rather than your productivity? If you’ve followed me for any length of time, [...]

In this conversation, I sit down with Pastor Jerry Flowers Jr. to explore the powerful intersection of therapy, theology, healing, and personal transformation. As someone who deeply cares about the whole person—heart, soul, mind, and strength—this conversation stirred me. Jerry has a gift for making emotional health and spiritual maturity work together instead [...]

Do you wish you were farther along in your journey, but feel like you lack the resources to get there? Well, I’m here to offer truth to the lie that you need more to do more. In fact, most of the time, God can do more with the little you have in your [...]

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by the deeply insightful Ashley Menzies Babatunde—lawyer-turned-DEI professional, storyteller, mentor, and host of No Straight Path. Ashley’s story is one of striving, success, burnout, grief, and rediscovering herself again through honesty, intention, and courage. We talk about what it looks like to achieve big things…and still feel empty, [...]

When I think about the conversations we need to have as women of faith—especially conversations that shape our future and change the trajectory of our families—money has to be part of that dialogue. And that’s why I’m so grateful for the chance to introduce you to today’s guest, Ange Matthews. I met Ange [...]

How do the holidays make you feel? If this time of year brings more feelings of sadness than joy, I want you to know that you’re not alone. The grief, the loss, the loneliness…all of it takes up space in our hearts when we’re deep in hopelessness. For me, my grief is felt [...]
