What’s on your mind? This time of year can evoke images of the quintessential “lazy, hazy days of summer,” but in actuality my mind is spinning just trying to recover from the busyness of “Maycember.” If I’m not careful with my thoughts, I can easily get anxious and overwhelmed. What we fill our minds with is important. Philippians 4: 7-8 says “And the peace of God, which transcends all understand...

Have you ever dreamed of defying gravity, seeing the galaxy, exploring the stars? Astronauts are now going farther from Earth into space than ever before. I can’t fathom all that goes into a moon mission. And the amount of faith it takes to be willing to go on such a journey? Wow. Big picture: I trust in God. But there are many times I realize I’ve been leaning too much on my own understanding. It...

The Winter Olympics are here! Well, not here. In Italy, but their time has come. Athleticism and coordination have never been strengths of mine. (I essentially failed every part of the Presidential Physical Fitness tests we were subjected to in school. Fun times.) Maybe that makes me appreciate those competing in the games all the more, though. Imagine if they featured a regular person (or me) in...

If you had to use just three words to describe your January, what would they be? “Long, dark, cold.” “King cake time!” Or maybe “fresh new start?” ( More than likely, it was all of the above. ) There’s just something about the start of a new year that has us naturally reflective and motivated. We’ve got a fresh resolve to try new things, eliminate some that haven’t worked, and focus on healthier h...

The Christmas season is here! Is there a gift you received in your lifetime that you will always treasure? Maybe it’s something you got as a child, or something a loved one made for you. Perhaps it’s not something tangible, but something someone did for you or time they spent with you. There’s always a story behind a meaningful gift. What’s yours? I can think of many that stand out over the years....

Mmmmm…I can almost smell the cornbread dressing and the pecan pie already. Thanksgiving is almost here! I love this opportunity to sit down together and connect over a family meal. Putting phones away and welcoming friends and family to the table is something I count as a blessing. Even though there may be awkward moments or tension, food allergies or burnt pie crusts, there are also stories...

Hello, September - transitioning to Fall can be a hopeful time.

Josh & Libby talk about the last 20 years in a post-Katrina New Orleans - share stories - dream about the future! Including excerpts from local pastors and LifeSongs listeners.

Struggle-bussing to get the kids ready to move from Summer to School? Libby feels ya. Deeply.

  Libby got to hang with some future leaders – some inspiring young women – some GIRL SCOUTS ! These girls want to invite you to Cookies for a Cause , this Saturday (June 21) from 10 AM – 6 PM at the Cox Store in Metairie (4852 Veterans Memorial Blvd). For each box/case of cookies sold, another will be donated to Second Harvest. It’s also our last chance to stock up on...

Libby's son Gus was brave - trying many new things and experiences on a recent family trip. Turns out God had a lesson in mind for Libby (and all of us) too...

I bet you could guess the hit song "Desperate" came from a pretty terrible experience. Amazingly, Jamie MacDonald exudes pure Joy as she shares her story with Libby!

Did cold/flu season force you into isolation and rest? No? Just Libby?

The LifeSongs gang (Paul, Libby, Gabby & Josh) talk about Christmas - the good, bad and ugly ... but mostly good!

Before leading worship alongside Maverick City Music – Stephen McWhirter shared his incredible story and goofed off Josh & Libby on Friday’s Morning Show!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by LifeSongs (@lifesongsfm)

Waiting? Patience? Blech - hard pass! It's so hard, right?

What are your expectations? Somehow, I think unrealized or unmet thoughts (by ourselves or others) about how something will turn out can take a toll on us. We can’t possibly know how every situation is going to unfold, but managing our expectations can help if things take an unexpected turn. And by “managing,” I mean letting go of the tight grip we have on our own ideas and allow...

Flowers, graduations, major life events - this is a season of change. Gross.

“Throw Me Somethin’, Mister!” That’s the cry heard all over New Orleans today, by kids and adults alike, hoping coconuts, rubber chickens and plenty of beads rain down upon them. Sometimes it feels like those float riders are holding back. Other times, they are unhinged – freely dumping the goods. The thing about most of those throws, though, is that no matter how badly you thought you...

Look back at 2023 and look hopefully forward into 2024!
