I asked you to send in your thoughts anonymously on Instagram, and here's what we got — deconstruction, politics, toxic relationships & MORE!

“It’s hard to live your life as a living sacrifice when you’re always on the go.” It’s easy to get caught up in routines and end up going through the motions, especially when it comes to our faith and relationship with God. But how can we get back to a place of daily reverence and awareness of who God is? Today, Karly Pancake is talking to us about worship, rest, and how God has empowered her to d...

When I was in college, I was brokenhearted over some boy and frustrated that things weren’t going how I hoped they would. I really thought he was the one. I really thought that was love. That moment ended up being a pivotal moment in my life. It sent me on a journey that ended up changing me forever and resulted in my first book, Love Is. I learned so many things about love, about God (who is love...

I think we can all agree that even though we are more “plugged in” today than ever, we are also more tired, more distracted and lonelier than ever. Is your phone time robbing you of meaningful connection? Are your devices distracting you from what really matters? If so, maybe it’s time for a digital detox. In this episode, I’m sharing my approach to boundaries with social media and other technolog...

How do you know if it’s time to pivot? Today we’re talking to email marketing strategist, Abby Manawes, about how to transition well, create rhythms that serve your business AND your health, and make decisions that you can feel good about when you lay your head down at the end of each day.

How are you spending your time? Today we’re taking a different approach in a conversation about time management and how we can steward our time for a more intentional life. The fact is, you make time for what matters to you. The question is: Are those things aligned with the life you really want? Get ready because we’re going deep, taking inventory, and making changes that will set us up for a lif...

Happy New Year! Can you believe it's 2023?! I'm so excited to be back with you on The By Words Show! This week, I wanted to share some things that I'm going to be doing differently to raise my intentions and have the most purposeful year yet, like: getting up earlier, less sugar, scroll-free Sundays and more! No matter how 2022 left you, I am praying that this is your year – your year for breakthr...

In 2013, I started a New Years tradition I’ve kept the past 9 years and I’m excited to share it with you today! At the end of every year, I sit down to reflect on the year that’s passed and dream for the year that’s to come, and then I write myself a letter to open the following New Years Eve. This is such a fun tradition to do on your own or with a friend or spouse. It’s just so special to be abl...

Have you ever thought about what happens when you share your story? It does so much not only for the ones who hear it, but also for ourselves. Today, I’ve invited my dear friends Darbi Jilek and Kaitlin Shierry of Say So Podcast to talk to us about their journey with sharing their own stories and the platform they’ve now built to empower others to share their stories as well! Get your By Words Sto...

“No one benefits from you running on empty.” In recent years, the phrase “self care” has become more and more popular, but what does it actually mean and how do we actually do it? Today we’re talking to Christian marriage and family therapist, LaQuetta Dawson, about why it’s so important to care for ourselves. As we’ve said on the show before, you can’t pour from an empty cup. When you are cared f...

Today we’re breaking down one of my pet peeves: New Years Resolutions. Okay, let’s be honest, who else has ever made a New Years resolution and not followed through? *raising both my hands* So, what’s the deal? The problem is, a lot of people try to make changes starting with their behavior by attempting to quit habits cold turkey or start something new without first changing their mindset . For e...

I asked a neuroscientist, “What do you wish women knew about their brains?” And I can’t wait for you to hear her answer! Today we’re sitting down with Dr. Crystal Collier, a therapist and educator who has been working with adolescents and adults suffering from mental illness, behavioral problems, and substance use disorders since 1991. In her book, The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide, she teaches brain-bas...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! (And I really love birthdays.) So for today's episode, I decided to share 28 things I've learned in my 28 years of existence. Some are practical, some are laughable. Others are deep and meaningful breakthroughs I’ve had along the way that have strengthened my relationships with others and with God. I hope you enjoy this episode, and maybe even learn a few things! Here's to the be...

Today we’re talking to Jess Hover about a big one: IDENTITY. While it’s a very layered and complex topic, it’s an extremely important one and we’re going to unpack some things we’ve learned along the way. In a world with so many voices telling us who we are or who we should be, we get to choose who we listen to and what we believe. And maybe the heart of it is simply giving yourself permission to...

As a Christian, I can't believe we haven't had more (or any) conversations like this about disability. I've never thought about how unreached the disabled community is, simply because many churches are still unaccessible. But as Renee Dollenmayer says, “Church should be a place where everyone could go.” Today we’re talking to Renee about how her experience with cerebral palsy has led h...

Often conversations about “living your best life” get misconstrued, especially in the church world where self care can sometimes be seen as selfish. It’s true that most of the ideas surrounding “being your best self” today are self-focused, but Belle Grubb of the Inspired Lady Podcast is flipping the script and teaching us how we can become the best version of ourselves so that we can give our bes...

I struggled with eating disorders for over 6 years. I’ve struggled with body image for even longer than that. With only 4% of women believing they’re beautiful, I think it’s obvious our unrealistic standards for beauty have become a real issue. Today we’re having a conversation with Lauren Smolar from the National Eating Disorders Association about factors in disordered eating and relationship wit...

Today we’re talking to Helen Taylor from Exodus Cry about what’s going on in the world of trafficking. It’s good news that awareness is spreading, but one piece of the puzzle that has slipped under the radar for too long is pornography. (You might remember all the #traffickinghub news that’s come out in the last few years.) So today we’re talking about what’s going on behind the scenes in the porn...
