Send us Fan Mail Noise..So much noise.  With the constant of technology and socials and just pressures of the world we are on high alert all the time.  It can be so hard not to be overwhelmed by the noise of the world.  But the Psalmist reminds us to sing a new song.  That new song is one of reflection on what God has done in his faithfulness to us.  His love has endured and we can take refuge in...

Send us Fan Mail The world cannot fulfill a void that is meant for God to fill.  Today we reflect on a mama's desire to try and be everything to her children, the guilt that can come when that idea leads to failure and the realization that the voids in your child's life are not for you to fill, but for God to fill.   Listen and be encouraged, you don't have to be everything for ever...

Send us Fan Mail In light of Thanksgiving this meditation focuses on reconciliation and restoration first and foremost the reconciliation and restored relationship we have with our heavenly father because of what Jesus suffered for us so that we may know God and then the pursuit of restored relationships with those in our lives in this world.   My hope is that you are encouraged to take the broken...

Send us Fan Mail Walking through the seasons of life we find that some are easier to be grateful in than others.  Psalm 118:24 says today is the day the Lord has made.  Let us be glad and rejoice in it.   As a member of the wedding industry we see some stressful brides and bride mamas.  It can be hard in those moments to find the opportunities to rejoice and show gratitude.  But when we show grati...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 119:1 tells us "blessed are those who walk according to the law of the Lord.  Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart."     Seeking with a whole heart means we move past just reading the word and we aim to meditate on it.  Allowing it to seep into our being.  Romans 12:1-2 tells us to not conform to the patterns of this world but b...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a day or maybe even days when you felt like you had a million things to do but you just couldn't focus in on one thing and you just feel like you're spinning your wheels?  I have the solution.  No, really!   Think opposite.  Instead of charging forward what if you stopped.  What if you sought the Lord.  You took a minute to open the Word and be in His p...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are in Psalm 37, 49, 112, 127-128 & 133.   Sometimes we think the world is divided into two different groups and that may be true...but we tend to fall into the division of good and bad...but neither of those are very definitive.   The Bible tells us the meek shall inherit the earth.  The evil doers will be castaway.  What does that really mean?   This week we exp...

Send us Fan Mail James 4:7 says, " Submit yourselves to God.  Resist the devil and he shall flee from you.   Today I had a great conversation about the difference between obedience and surrender.  Obedience is the act of complying to a command or directive.  Surrender is the heart of giving over full control.   I had to take a look at my heart in this and examine the areas in my life where I...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 70:4 tells us that all who love God and His salvation are to magnify God.  In our pain, in our celebration, in our grief and in our joy we are to magnify God.   In this teaching we review Psalm chapters 13, 35, 70 & 140.  These chapters are David dealing with hurt.  We get to see his process of being wronged, being attacked, being lied about and being betrayed.  He hurts...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a sugar craving you just can't kick.  Well this week I had a craving of being in a sea of Bibles or maybe a mattress full is a better way to explain it.  It was as if I needed to be completely covered and surrounded by physical Bibles.  I took that to mean I needed to be engulfed in God's Word.  Completely inundated by it, a literal soak in His scriptur...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we can get caught up in keeping pace with the world.  Before we know it we are exhausted by the constant flow and movement at a pace that just isn't sustainable.  We find ourselves wondering, "how did I even get here, and how do I get out?"   Today's episode is the release you are looking for.  Matthew 6 reminds us that God calls us to store up treasu...

Send us Fan Mail This week the teaching reviews these chapters.  Please take a moment to go read these chapters first before you listen.  Its so important that you are in the word yourself first and foremost building your own relationship with God and His word before you listen to anyone else's understanding of the scripture.  This week we look at perspective.  The proverbial "Forest for...

Send us Fan Mail In Psalm Chapter 5 David cries out to the Lord His lament.  He is woefully laying down his fears and trepidations before the feet of his mighty God.   His cry out is matched with deep faith and trust.  He does not just hope the Lord will hear and answer his cry, he expects God to.   We too should cry out to God with faith above fear knowing our heavenly father will answer us.  Tho...

Send us Fan Mail Dive into a message about how the enemy would like to use even the smallest of issues to upset what God is doing in your life.  To get your focus off of God and to be distracted by the upsets of everyday life, not that chickens dying is everyday life for many haha.  But for us it has been a season of learning and growing and recognizing how the enemy would like to use these things...

Send us Fan Mail Loss of loved ones is hard.  Grief is a whirlwind of emotions and can be overwhelming.  The process of looking at one's life and acknowledging the purpose in the walk, that despite the loss the amount of lives impacted is good.  God turns all adversity to good for the benefit of his kingdom. The life of my friend, though hard and riddled with disease, proves that even the wea...

Send us Fan Mail Listen and be encouraged as we overview 2 Timothy  1:8 & 9.  Purpose isn’t always a grand vision of excellence and fame.  More often purpose is doing what God has you doing moment by moment, day by day.  Even of greater importance is the character by which you carry out those daily tasks.   Listen to how 2 Timothy can help us see our purpose in, even, the smallest of daily tas...

Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like the road is blurry and God isn't giving you enough information about whats to come or what the next step is?  Maye you are caught up in the trap of comparing your walk and purpose to another's.  This episode focuses on John and Peter and how Jesus focused Peter away from comparing himself to John and just following Jesus.  Join me as we are encouraged by t...

Send us Fan Mail Are we using all the talents God has given us to glorify Him and bless His kingdom?  Being uncomfortable and stretching ourselves to grow the Kingdom of heaven… Join me as I reflect on Matthew 25 and stretching outside our comfort zone.  How can we take the talents God has given us and be obedient to grow them for Him? I hope this blessed you! Where these messages and more informa...

Send us Fan Mail It’s often hard to navigate conversations outside of Christian circles and feel confident we can share biblical advice without fear of a negative reaction.   Join me as I reflect on being bold, not because we are so brave but because we trust Jesus so much we don’t even think about what others may think or say.  We just boldly proclaim the truth of biblical guidance to Christian o...

Send us Fan Mail How important it is to embrace the role we have as women in the home and husbands who lead a family and the attitude by which we carry out those roles.  Maybe our purpose doesn't seem so grand in this season, but we know it matters to Christ and His kingdom.  Join me as we reflect on our purpose in Christ and how we glorify God in even the tasks that seem small and not releva...

Send us Fan Mail Trusting is one of the hardest lessons we learn as Christians.  To give over or yield our idea of control in full trust of God in all our situations can be difficult, to say the least.   The truth is that we don't truly have control of any situation so we can experience such freedom from anxiety and overwhelm when we just submit to the Father and trust in His timing and His p...

Send us Fan Mail Waiting on the Lord can seem like an act of learning patience and often that can be the case that God is teaching us patience.  However in this lesson we look at Psalm 6, 25, 32,51,85, 130 & 143 and how can a spirit willing to wait in service coming to the father with a contrite heart and confidence in His forgiveness and promises for our life we find that yes we still have to...
