Etiquette for Dangerous Women Podcast

Most of us grew up thinking confession meant saying sorry and repentance meant being really sorry. Somehow a change meant "sorry enough" to never do it again. But what if that's not what either of those words actually mean? Confession is actually telling the truth. And repentance (metanoia in the Greek) is a change of direction, not a deeper apology. This episode walks through a recent and very pe...

Some journeys don’t show fruit for years. A decade into endurance racing with my horse Khaleesi, something unexpected happened at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville — a top five finish and the high vet award, on the 10th anniversary of her entering this sport. Not because we were the fastest or the most naturally gifted, but because we stayed the course the right way for a long time. And it felt les...

Are you still searching for peace? What if it came through letting go of the last pieces you’re not even aware you carry? What if even the faith to believe isn’t yours to muster? We say “Jesus did it all” — but most of us quietly believe he did 99.5% of it and our job is to believe hard enough to get through the door. This episode sits with an uncomfortable question: if even a tiny sliver of this...

Everywhere we look, something is telling us to get small. Eastern spirituality says disappear into the universe. Culture says blend in so people are comfortable. And even well-meaning Christian teaching can quietly tell us to shrink under Jesus — as if God loves us more when he can’t see us. But what if disappearing is actually the opposite of what God wants? Jesus didn’t come to destroy your huma...

While walking in the woods with my dog Sam, I found myself thinking about how much joy it brings me to watch him do what he was created for—running, sniffing, listening, exploring. Even when he’s distracted or doesn’t listen, my love for him never changes. That moment led me to reflect on how God sees us the same way: taking deep pleasure in watching us thrive in simply being exactly who he create...

🔐 Life is like an escape room… God has already given us the first clue—His Word. The Bible isn’t the end of the adventure, it’s the beginning. When we seek, explore, question, and dig deeper, we uncover layer after layer of truth, wisdom, and treasure that God has hidden for us—not from us, but for us. But so many people never start the journey. They get comfortable, sit in the corner, admire the...
