Holy Whispers

Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel...off? That knot in your stomach. The heaviness you can't quite explain. The sense that something just isn't sitting right. In this episode, we're exploring three questions that have helped me move from feeling unsettled to finding peace again. Together we'll talk about living in alignment with the woman God is calling you to...

Two weeks ago, I thought I knew where I'd be. Instead of heading to my annual Love Is Magic conference, I found myself at home in Michigan saying goodbye to my father-in-law, Gerry, and surrounding my family during one of life's hardest moments. In this episode, I reflect on the unexpected change of plans, the legacy Gerry left behind, and the reminder that life is too short to stay on the...

Have you ever wondered why the same fears, disappointments, or hard emotions keep showing up, even after you've prayed, healed, and done so much personal growth work?

Rahab’s story is one of the most beautiful reminders in Scripture that our past does not get the final word — God does.

Together, we explore: • Why God includes redemption stories in the lineage of Jesus • How Rah...

In this week’s episode of Holy Whispers , we sit with the story of Hannah — a woman who carried deep grief, unanswered prayers, comparison, emotional overwhelm, and the ache of longing for something she did not yet have.

In this first episode of our May series, we’re stepping into the story of a woman who didn’t wait for perfect timing, full confidence, or ideal circumstances before saying yes to God. Let's talk about Deborah.

As we wrap up the Awaken: Coming Alive to Your Calling series, this episode brings everything together in a deeply personal and powerful way.

As we enter Passover Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week, this episode takes us back to Exodus — and forward to Jesus. In the first Passover, a spotless lamb was sacrificed and its blood was applied to the doorposts. That blood didn’t just symbolize something — it protected God’s people and marked them as His. And then, almost immediately, He led them out of slavery. But even after they were set...

In this third episode of our Lenten series, we step into the Upper Room — where Jesus, fully aware of who He is and what is about to come, kneels to wash His disciples’ feet. This is not just a moment of service. It is a powerful picture of love, humility, and obedience. Jesus washes the feet of those closest to Him — including the ones who would deny Him and betray Him. And in doing so, He shows...

In this second episode of our Lenten series, we step into the Garden of Gethsemane — one of the most emotionally raw moments in all of Scripture. Here, we see Jesus overwhelmed with sorrow, in agony, and fully honest before the Father. And instead of suppressing His emotions or letting them dictate His obedience, He models something powerful: Feel it. Bring it to God. Then surrender. In this episo...

This is the final episode of Holy Whispers for 2025 — and today’s conversation feels especially close to my heart. In Part 2 of this reflection, I’m sharing what I would go back and gently tell my younger self about relationships — my marriage, my kids, our extended family, aging parents, and friendships. Not from a place of “I have it all figured out now” — but from a place of growth, grace, and...
