Regular Girl

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to walk away or to keep silent when we feel like we're being attacked. But do we always need to speak up and speak out to correct unfair assumptions? In today's episode, I get a little vulnerable about my own experience with this and why we can rest in God's truth over shouting about our own. 

Somewhere along the way, I stopped praying for my healing. I stopped feeling frustrated at the lack of answers and movement. I started to pray more for my friends and loved ones to see God's incredible love for us instead. I still pray this to this day. 

When someone is suffering, it can be scary to rush in out of fear we might unintentionally say the wrong thing and further injure the person who is suffering. How can we best love others during their trials? Tune in to learn one of the most effective ways to support those we love when they are hurting. 

What do we make of difficult seasons when our support systems seem to dwindle? Perhaps there's a bigger reason the Lord has pared our community down? How can the lack point us to God? 

Look through the news any day of the week and you're likely to see a collection of tragedies the world around that can leave us asking "where is God in this?" Tune in to this episode to explore this topic and some better questions to ask instead.

"It's not that we want what's right, it's that we want to be right."  Sometimes when another person hurts us, we have a compelling need to jump in and inflict judgment and justice. What we often forget is that God sees all of our actions and the ones done to us. In the end, our own feelings will always cloud of ability to do what is the most fair and just thing. In today's episode, how can we...

In today’s episode, listen as I most likely butcher the names in today’s verse. Once again, I’m a regular girl doing some work I feel the Lord has called me to do.

I was talking with a friend recently who was struggling in their marriage. Things had turned pretty regular. It felt like there wasn’t any excitement anymore and life seemed to be filled with all these routine things. It began to mess with their head because the lie they’d believed was that life would somehow be more magical after marriage and kids. Where is God in that? I believe we have lessons...

Sometimes things just don’t make any sense. Instead of getting bogged down in the litany of detail that we were never meant to understand, perhaps we have a different place more deserving of our focus.

When the tribes all got their inheritance, do you think the Levites felt like they were slighted? It’s easy to feel that way when we’re comparing, but what’s the one question that can set it all straight. Listen and let’s find out.

I have to wonder how the Israelites felt when God gave the instructions on how they’d take down the wall surrounding Jericho. I’m certain they must have had quite a few questions, but I’m so thankful they had a leader that empowered them to listen and obey more than to fall victim to unproductive questions. I think we see this in our own lives and in today’s episode, we’re talking all about that.

I’m today’s episode, I reveal why I can say with confidence that everything will be alright.

In today’s episode, why we just keep going.

God always answers prayers. Sometimes, the answer is yes. Sometimes it’s no. Sometimes it’s not yet.

In today’s episode I provide a little update on my health. I also talk about the disconnect we have between good/bad things in our lives and how that relates to God’s goodness.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the attitude we can and should approach the work that comes from our blessings

In today’s episode, how does training to become a fast runner have anything to do with our training as Christ’s disciples?

“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8

Seeing the abundance when all we see is lack.

“Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ll never receive.” Robert Brault

When things look bleak and we have no idea what’s happening or why, we lean harder on God’s understanding.

In the awaiting and in front of a bigger mountain than the last one God moved, we have to press on.

I relate so much to Moses when the Lord spoke to him from the burning bush. How does God take a murderer...an insecure, stuttering man and use him to rescue a His people? How does He do this with any of us? I hope we all will remember that God has a knack for taking the most unlikely and using them for His glory. Who's to say He won't do that with you?
