Becoming and Purpose

This week I'm joined by a fellow Christian podcaster for a conversation that's been a long time coming! Even though this was our first time talking face-to-face, it felt like sitting down with a friend over coffee. We share a little about who we are, how each of us came to faith, why we felt called to start our podcasts, and what God has been teaching us lately. We also talk about homescho...

This week I'm sharing something a little different... my testimony... Again... Since this is my very first video podcast, I thought it was the perfect time to share how I went from unbelief to following Jesus, what He's done in my life, and why I started Becoming & Purpose in the first place. If you've ever wondered whether God could use someone like you, or you're just curious...

This week I'm sharing some highlights from our trip to Life Surge and talking about something that's been on my heart ever since we got home: what it really means to do Kingdom work and build a life that glorifies God. We talk about using our gifts and careers to serve Him, what 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 teaches us about cheerful giving, and how generosity goes far beyond money. I also share a...

Today we're talking about purpose, prayer, worship, and learning to trust God when you can't see the whole picture yet. I'm sharing why I'm excited to attend Life Surge this weekend, what it means to build a business that glorifies God, some exciting podcast updates, and three practical ways we can continue pursuing God's purpose in our everyday lives. If you've been waitin...

Father’s Day had me doing a lot of reflecting this week. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on the importance of fathers, the lasting impact parents can have on their children, and how some childhood experiences can follow us into adulthood in ways we don’t always realize. I also talk about my own struggles with seeking approval, how God has been teaching me where my worth truly comes from...

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is? Have you prayed for direction and wished God would just hand you the entire plan? In this episode, we're talking about what I've learned about finding purpose through faithfulness, prayer, obedience, and returning to God's Word again and again. I truly believe that everything we need... wisdom, encouragement, comfort, correction, and hope, c...

We're officially halfway through our 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge, and honestly... the Bible has surprised us in the best ways. In this episode, Olav and Roman join me again as we reflect on everything we've read from Genesis through Proverbs 6. We talk about what stood out most, the themes we didn't expect to notice, and how God's Word has been changing us little by little. From...

I had planned to have a guest this week, but life had other plans, and tbh, I’m so glad it did. Today we’re talking about the beauty and challenges of parenting, why dating your spouse matters more than we sometimes realize, and how building a strong marriage blesses the entire family. I’m also sharing an exciting new idea God has been stirring in my heart for a women’s Bible study and some themes...

Lately, I’ve been struggling. I’ve been praying, reading Scripture, trying to stay faithful, and asking God for wisdom, guidance, and just one next step… and if I’m being honest, it has felt a little bit like a ghost town. In this episode, I’m opening up about the discouragement, confusion, and spiritual attacks I’ve been experiencing lately, the lies I’ve been fighting in my own mind, and the ten...

Today I am talking about stewardship and maybe some sidebar thoughts that go hand in hand with stewardship.. If you have been feeling off or like things are out of order, life is messy, you are feeling sluggish.. This episode might be for you! Reflection Questions from this episode: 1. What areas of my life have I stopped stewarding well? 2. What blessing have I started taking for granted? 3. Wher...

The last few days have been a struggle. I’ve felt stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and honestly a little lost. Between car troubles, uncertainty, and feeling like life wasn’t going according to my plan, I found myself focusing on everything I didn’t have instead of everything God had already provided. In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that completely shifted my perspective, what scripture taugh...

As I work my way through the 90 day bible reading challenge, I am realizing that the more I read, the more I see. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the lessons I have learned so far through 1 Kings 16, pointing out some powerful truths I discovered in 1 Corinthians 15, and talking about gratitude, stewardship, and taking better care of the body that God has given us. If you have ever felt o...

Today I am talking about encouragement, worship music, community, the 90 day Bible reading challenge, and something I’ve been praying about a lot… homeschool. Just reflecting on the ways God might be nudging/guiding me lately, and how to pay attention when something gets placed on your heart over and over.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about Proverbs 31, motherhood, faith, and the pressure many people feel to “have it all together.” After hearing Proverbs 31 discussed in church on Mother’s Day, I felt really called to share what these verses personally mean to me and why I believe they were meant to encourage us.. I also share a personal moment from this weekend when my parents surprised me by com...

This week reminded me how important faith community really is, and also reminded me that God is always watching over us, even in ways we don’t fully recognize at first. Sharing some thoughts on friendship, growth, grief, gratitude, and a situation with my car that could have turned out very differently.

This episode is just a real conversation between friends about faith, getting in the Word, Bible reading, prayer, and what it looks like to keep growing in your relationship with God in everyday life. I’m joined by my husband Roman and our friend Olav from church. This one just felt really genuine and encouraging.

This episode is a conversation with my friend Julie, where she shares her faith story and what that journey has looked like for her. She’s someone who has played a meaningful role in my life, and it was really special getting to sit down and hear more about her perspective, her experiences, and what faith looks like for her in real life.

Just a real-life update on what’s been helping me stay grounded lately, starting the 90 day Bible reading challenge, going back through Genesis, revisiting 1 Corinthians, and getting back into prayer. Also sharing some thoughts on marriage, staying consistent in the Word, and being more intentional with time and family.

A real-life episode about faith, kids, and getting back to prayer. Sometimes the reminder we need comes from the people we least expect.

The show was taken over and hosted by a surprise guest host! Today I get interviewed and get to be the guest! Enjoy this super cute and fun episode! God is good, all the time!

This episode is a real one. I didn’t feel like going to church, I wasn’t really in the Word last week, and honestly I just wanted to stay home. But I went anyway… and God showed up in ways I didn’t expect. Talking about Proverbs 3, choosing wisdom over comfort, and how sometimes the small decisions matter more than we realize. And naturally, I am all over the place with my thoughts! Enjoy!

Lately I’ve been feeling a little scattered and asking God for guidance more than ever. In this episode I talk about a small moment that felt like a big reassurance, what I’m learning about the deeper meaning behind Genesis, and how sometimes God may have already shown us the path, we’re just struggling to recognize it.

Life has been full lately… but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been feeling a little unfulfilled and questioning what I’m doing. This episode is just me working through that in real time, plus what I’ve been learning in 1 Corinthians 7.

Today I sat down with my friend Brandy and we had such a good, honest conversation. We talked about life, how we both came to faith, marriage, her upcoming wedding, growing up together, how our friendship started, church stuff, and encouragement for anyone who’s feeling lost right now. It felt like two friends just catching up and sharing real encouragement. If you need a reminder that you’re not...

I just recorded this one feeling pretty lost and overwhelmed. The imposter syndrome was loud, the stage fright was kicking in, and it only ended up being about 20 minutes. It’s messy with some pauses and repeats, but I decided to post it anyway. I talk about the last couple weeks, struggling to stay consistent with the podcast, feeling like I’m not enough, and fighting through the doubt while tryi...
