Guiding God's Daughters: Get Real and Go Deep

Do you know if you have bitter roots? It's hard to tell if you've not addressed them. You have a choice in how to respond to them when they return. You can say, "Oh no, not again," or you can say, "Okay, this keeps coming up. I'm going to deal with it." That's what I want to help you do this week. I want to help you look at these bitter roots and deal with them...

Have you ever found yourself putting God in a box? You know - somewhere out of the way because you want to work your plan? I get it and I've been there. I thought God was in a box of “up there, not down here” and I had no idea how to get Him out. That is, until he rescued me from the pit. I want to share with you today the 5 boxes that I've struggled with (and I bet you have too) that made...

It’s funny what happens when you do a podcast on how God pivots you and he pivots you 5 times before you are supposed to go live! The enemy can use things against us. But God can turn it around for good! I want to tell you about a few pivots the Lord did in my life so you can see how God might be doing them in your life!! Seek the Lord instead of your heart! He’s going to surprise you when it’s no...

This is the Welcome video for Season #2 of Guiding God's Daughters. It's just a quick message to welcome all of you from Pulse FM and any new listeners!

The journey of infertility is a very difficult one that not many people feel okay talking about freely because it's so personal. This episode is in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week. It's dedicated to every woman who is in this season and every one who's ever been through it. You are a warrior. The first part of this video is a testimony of what God did in our life as we nav...

This week, I have a very special guest. Her name is Becky Savage. She is nationally known as the Founder of the 525 Foundation .  Her non-profit was created to honor her two sons that passed away on June 14, 2015 from unintentional overdose after going to graduation parties. You can find videos of their story, interviews, speeches and news coverage here .  She lives right here in Norther...

This is a word from the Lord that came on my way home from the Able Moms conference in Chicago this past weekend, March 4th. It's a reminder for young women - in your 20s and early 30s, and really any woman to remember who you are and what God can do for you and tell you why what you see on my highlight reel didn't come easily. I fought hard for it, and only got it because I ran back to God and le...

We’re in week two of Lent and every year this passage from Psalm 51:10 comes up for many of us.  “Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me.” ESV The question is, what does that really mean?  How can you go deeper with it?  What might be blocking you from allowing the Lord to clear your heart?  Are you willing to open your heart to the Lord?  T...

There is a move of God happening in our nation. We're seeing it as Asbury and even other places now. It also just so happens to be the beginning of lent - the time when Christians take the time to go deeper with the Lord before Easter. Are you wanting to grow spiritually? Listen to this week's episode as I talk about how God is moving not just on these college campuses but also how he showed up at...

We’ve all been rejected in some way in our lives. Yes, I’m talking about this on the love holiday because I like to get real and this is something that can block us from the love of God and life, really. If we’re not careful it can keep us consumed with feelings and thoughts that hold us back and eventually it becomes our identity. I want to help you get to the root of that and release it to God.

Do you have a mentor in your life? I’m not talking about career mentors, I’m talking about spiritual mentors. Yes, women who come alongside you right in the middle of whatever season you are in and help you walk through things. They have often lived through very similar things and have had seasons of life change them and give them wisdom. But most importantly - they found a way to lean on the Lord...

You will want to hear/watch this interview. God connected us and it’s for a reason. Amanda is a mom who is the CEO of the organization Able Moms and she’s got quite a testimony. From her personal experience in a grocery store with her 3 year old daughter in a grocery store, she’s become a fierce advocate to fight child trafficking. But that wasn’t all. Her son drowned (and lived). Her home burned...

This week we’re talking about having a firm foundation and how roots can affect a foundation. You have to choose, am I going to seek the Lord and learn how to walk in step with the Spirit? Or am I going to walk in step with the wicked. You have to decide.   Am I going to surrender my life to Christ and let Him build what I can’t build by myself? Do you know how a tree’s roots can permeat...

This is Part II of a special podcast for March for Life week. This second part is devoted to Lacy's daughter, Mary Logan who is an absolute FORCE in the pro-life movement already, at a very young age. You've got to hear her story and how beautiful it is to see God use her simply because her mom chose life. To listen with her mom present is just beautiful. I pray both of these podcasts bless you as...

This is Part I of a very special podcast for March for Life week. My friend Lacy Miske (formerly Dodd) was a classmate at Notre Dame. We reconnected back in 2019 over baby products when we were both expecting. But the Lord has just been  keeping us connected over conservative values and love for ND and our country. She served in the military upon graduation while I served in the White House....

I know how easy it is to want to jump on the weight-loss train at the start of the new year. But I want to challenge you to pivot. If you know in the back of your mind that you are going to start this and not stick with it, maybe it's time to realize something. Maybe that annual diet only fixes the outside and that's why it doesn't stick. Maybe you are supposed to get better from the ins...

Christmas is such a beautiful season. We get to celebrate Jesus' birth and see our families to make new memories. Joy is overflowing. But in the midst of that, we can also have deep pain. Maybe we're grieving the loss of a loved one, or one who is distant or just a difficult season in life. It's bittersweet, because in the midst of our pain, we have this joy in Christ. We have this hope. I don't w...

I'm so excited to bring you this interview. Erin is an author of over 15 books and is a major part of Revive Our Hearts Ministries where she leads Bible Studies and hosts a podcast called, "The Deep Well." I loved this interview. If you are ready to just get right to some of these major things we all struggle with around food and weight, you've got to give this one a listen.   We cover s...

Do you struggle with post-Thanksgiving guilt about what you ate? Are you trying to manage the stress of the holidays and turning to the food to cope? Sometimes when turn to the food, we're trying to control what we can't and we just have to rely on the only one who can give us the comfort we need. Watch or listen this week as I briefly talk about how God is with you in that place. Then you'll hear...

This is a message for Christians disheartened by the 22 Midterm elections. There is no better time than Thanksgiving approaching to remind us of where our only true hope lies. Having worked in politics at the White House, I can tell you what I found out - it's never been Washington where your answers will be found. It's in Jesus. If your expectations were set on God fixing things with the ele...

This is my Heart for America. I feel the Lord calling me because of my background in politics to encourage you to vote on November 8th. So, when we’re in our twenties, many of us don’t really care about elections. I know I didn’t. But when you look at the issues at stake, our vote does matter. That’s why it’s so important to grow up and vote. Watch and listen this week as I talk about why making i...

This week we are talking about that temptation that is staring you in the face this time of year - that Halloween candy. As it sits there and tempts you in bite sizes, you think you can handle just one. But not all of us can do that. Join me as we get real about what may or not be a sugar issue for you, and let me help you lean on the one who can help you deal with it. Hint: It's not you alone or...

This is for my older listeners and younger ones. For the older ones who may have children you are trying to raise and point toward Godly influencers. For the younger ones, I'll give you some direction on how to actually find these Godly role models we're talking about. But the beginning will be focused on where some of us as older women get our insights. We read Christian books, and some...

This week is all about how to find Godly mentors in this crazy world. Women have all kinds of influencers vying for attention and many of them are just not beneficial. That's why my assistant Kara and I did this podcast, because we want to help you. We want to reveal who some of the unhealthy ones are so you can see who the healthy ones are and why it's really a battle between the flesh and the sp...
