The Places Between

In a world where so many have an opinion on who we should be and what to be like, whether we know them or not, it can be hard to filter through all the noise. When we’re in the Places Between it can also be challenging to know where we’re going, who we want to become, and/or WHY we wake up and how we can dream for more.  Well I’m SO EXCITED to have Emily B Cummins on today’s show as she has s...

As this is a podcast all about THE PLACES BETWEEN and where we find ourselves I’m sure a number of you listening might be longing for what’s next in life. Be it a new career, relationship, financial situation, even YOU. Isn’t that what they say New Year New You? But instead of looking at the year ahead with a big sense of overwhelm and asking “what’s next?” I want to encourage you, you might be in...

IN this season as we look ahead we get to invite peace and joy and love into our lives. We get to invite HOPE to be renewed by celebrating Christmas the gift of God coming to us, to make all things new. I don’t know about you, but I know that life, when we focus on the mountains we can remain stuck and utterly discouraged. When we live with the hope of what’s to come and we can put our focus INTO...

Being in a transition or not knowing how something would unfold in life is ironically part of life. We cannot avoid those moments. How we prepare in season and out of season is something we can put effort into, though. On today’s show we dive into some of the coolest, and to me most beautiful aspects of God, and how he shows up in our lives or even directs our steps when we trust him and are walki...

Isn’t it funny how many times we plan our future or think we have it all figured out when something happens and interrupts the way we thought things would go? I don’t know about you, but there have been SO MANY times in my life where my plans didn’t go as I thought they would have, but I’ve learned rather than throw in the towel or giving into a spirit of defeat if I would just readjust my exceptio...

An excerpt from my daily devotional reading recently talked about the “Key to Life” “Madonna said, ‘When I was growing up... Jesus Christ was like a movie star, my favourite idol of all.’ Napoleon Bonaparte said, ‘I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man.’ Novelist H.G. Wells said, ‘I am an historian, I am not a believer. But this *penniless preacher* from Galilee is irresistibly...

It's hard to believe years and years ago through a bunch of grown-up kids with a passion for surfing, snowboarding, action sports and a desire to make a difference in the world that a handful of us would connect! Fast forward, lots of life has happened since then, but I am excited to say God is still working in our lives and what once felt like a dream has become reality! On today’s show I'm excit...

Have you ever gotten to a place in life where you’ve had a moment to reflect on your journey and the decisions you made, or didn’t make, to get you to where you are today?  Oftentimes, when having conversations with others who have been walking in faith for more than a few years, they can point back to pivotal moments where they saw God divinely orchestrate the details as they took steps forward....

We all know how easy it is to get so distracted in life that we forget to be “intentional” in how we’re evolving. The work we’re doing internally to show up as our best selves, along with the hard work of digging into what makes us tick and why we do the things we do is so worth it though! I’m so excited for today’s guest as she’s not only just a delight to know but comes from a really neat backgr...

Whether it’s in everyday friendships or colleagues that you interact with or a significant other, for some of you be it your spouse we all can agree the relationships we hold in life are important. Pretty sure even the last 24 hours of life I had to interact with a number of people from best friends to family and operating in a manner of health and wholeness is definitely a desire of mine. Hopeful...

Sometimes God does not give us an exact blueprint for our lives. Sometimes we can’t see his obvious direction but it's like He gives us just enough to take the next step. When we get to a place where we can look back and see what God was doing all along, those are the beautiful moments that cause us to stop and praise God for his hand in and through our journey every step of the way. Today’s guest...

Some of you may remember my dear friend Susannah who was on the podcast last year for a handful of episodes co-hosting with me. Well lots of life has happened since then but I’m so thrilled to talk with her today because we want to talk about not only things we’ve learned over the last year but then also how we rely on friends and our relationship with God to speak truth and using God’s word &...

I love how God weaves things into our lives when we take time to slow down and pay attention to what he’s doing. Sometimes though when we think we’re working on a project going a certain direction, something beautiful comes out of it and we get to see something new come to life. For me that was the desire to create a community who wanted to chase adventure and life together while experiencing all...

You Have Stayed Long Enough — Deuteronomy 1:6 What is it in your life you're struggling to get through, give up, or release so you can step freely into tomorrow? When’s the last time you did something that was perhaps beyond your comfort zone? The idea of God using movement within our lives to see mountains move, it’s a lot easier to steer a moving object than a parked one isn’t it?! Today, I want...

WATER is such a critical part of life! Wild enough how many times do we run our faucets expecting clean water to come out, or even not pay attention to how long our showers are!?!

We talk about so many aspects of life from faith and calling, to waiting, and even learning to thrive in the spaces and places between of life! (You know the waiting, the “not quite there yet” places, the hallways, even the hard parts of life.) When it feels like you don’t know who you are, what your life will look like in six months, or what you have to offer (depending what you’re waiting for) F...

Today we want to talk about SHIFTING YOUR IDENTITY and WHY THIS MATTERS in reaching your goals. Especially in the extremely painful and hard times of life our identity will become the foundation of how we get through things & the habits we’ve worked so hard to establish will become WHO we are too.
