As part of the Letters to Me series, Tiff shares what it was like growing up without a relationship with her father—and how that absence quietly s...

What if the version of faith you learned… isn’t the one Jesus intended? In this episode, Sherri sits down with Damaris to unpack a deeply personal and often unspoken struggle: living as the “put-together Christian” while quietly feeling angry, pressured, and disconnected from the grace of God. As part of the Letters to Me series, Damaris reflects on a season of legalism, judgment, and performance—...

What would you say to a younger version of yourself?

Lyndy is an author, mom of three, and the creator of Light and Truth Company , where she helps families en...

Last week, we talked about how temptation shows up when we’re overwhelmed, burned out, and just trying to survive. This week, we’re continuing the conversation—looking at the quieter, more subtle places temptation shows up in our everyday lives. Because sometimes it’s not about survival mode… Sometimes it’s when you’re:  Hurt or misunderstood   Feeling unseen or overlooked   Or honestly… when ever...

Temptation doesn’t only show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up when we’re exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, hurt, or just trying to make it through the day. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast , Sherri is joined by three wise and honest women for a real conversation about what temptation can look like in seasons of depletion, burnout, secrecy, overworking, numbing, and survival m...

Temptation doesn’t always come dressed as something bad.  Sometimes it looks like a blessing. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast , we finish our journey through the temptations of Jesus in Matthew 4 and uncover why the most dangerous temptations are the ones that feel justified, spiritual, or even good. We explore: How temptation meets legitimate needs in illegitimate ways Why pride an...

Pride doesn’t usually feel like pride.  It feels like being right.  Being justified.  Being better.  Being seen. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast , we continue our conversation on temptation by looking at the second temptation of Jesus — when He’s challenged to jump from the top of the temple and prove who He is. We talk about: Why pride always looks like truth from the inside How Sc...

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we begin a multi-episode journey through one of the most relatable moments in Scripture: Jesus being tempted in the wilderness.

Christmas doesn’t end when we pack up the nativity and drag the tree to the curb. The arrival of Jesus wasn’t just a sweet, sentimental moment—it was a cosmic one. In this final episode of the Christmas series, we talk about how the story goes beyond the manger into our identity, our peace, and the way we walk into January and beyond. In this episode we’ll explore: Why the angels’ announcement to...

In Week 2 of our Christmas series, we’re zooming in on how real people responded when the news of Jesus interrupted their lives. We’ll walk through the stories of Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, the shepherds, the magi, and Herod—and what their responses reveal about faith, doubt, control, courage, and joy. From Mary’s honest questions to Joseph’s costly obedience, from Zechariah’s skepticism...

We tend to start the Christmas story with a manger, some shepherds, and maybe an angel choir. But the story of Christmas actually began much earlier—when brokenness first entered the world. In this first episode of the Christmas series, we zoom out and look at the big picture of Christmas: how sin fractured our relationship with God, how shame entered the story, and how God immediately began a res...

In this episode, Wes and I dig into something we all wrestle with: how to make decisions when you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or overthinking every option. We talk about the ways we’re wired differently—he’s the “slow down, think it through” brake pedal, and I’m the “let’s move and figure it out on the way” gas pedal—and how God speaks to each of us uniquely. You’ll hear us unpack: What to do when your...

Parenting is wild. One minute you’re praying sweet bedtime prayers, the next minute you’re saying, “No more questions. Go to sleep.” And somehow, this whole exhausting, beautiful thing is one of the clearest ways we see the heart of God.

This week looks a little different. No studio. No guest. Just an unplanned conversation from my heart. I’ve been grieving the way we, as believers, have started to mirror the noise of the world—louder, harsher, and quicker to divide. But Jesus didn’t call us to win arguments; He called us to love people. In this episode, we’ll revisit stories like the Good Samaritan and the woman caught in adulter...

In this Table Talk, I sit down with my friend Andrew Richardson to play a favorite game we call “Sermon That.” Our random object this time? A baby bib. 🍼 That simple prop opens a real conversation about spiritual maturity—why growth is messy, why comparison stalls us, and why “more” isn’t always the mark of “mature.” I share how I think about Paul’s milk-to-meat imagery, the role of community, an...

We’ll talk about: - Why admitting something is “off” can be the first step toward healing - The pressure Christians often feel when s...

Sometimes the healthiest growth starts with subtraction. In this week’s Table Talk, we’re unpacking the idea of pruning — not as punishment, but as protection and purpose. From garden analogies to real-life stories, we talk about why letting go can be so hard, how to recognize “beautiful weeds” that look good but block fruit, and the practical ways God calls us to trim back so we can flourish. We’...
