Life with Amy

Takeaways Reflecting at the halfway point of the year, not just in December, gives you a clearer, more honest read on your goals and lets you adjust course while there's still time to use it. Writing down one good thing from each of the last six months, no matter how small, breaks the habit of only remembering what went wrong or unfinished. Extending yourself grace during a season of major change,...

Takeaways God shows up through ordinary people in ordinary moments — but only if you are paying attention and living open to receive it. Courage and clarity often arrive in that order: you make the bold decision first, and the confirmation comes after. The people God sends into your life may never know the impact they had. Be willing to be that person for someone else. Summary of the Episode In th...

Takeaways Not every big decision has a right answer and a wrong answer. God gave you free will — a moving car is easier to steer than a parked one.

Clarity often comes after the courageous step, not before it. Obedience matters more to God than the outcome. Su...

Takeaways Comparison often starts as one small thought and quickly spirals into negativity. Social media causes us to compare our behind-the-scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel. The key to stopping comparison is learning to acknowledge, stop, and replace negative thoughts. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for breaking destructive comparison cycles. Replacing comparison with biblica...

Takeaways Leadership and management are not the same thing. True leadership is rooted in influence, humility, and service. You do not need a title to positively influence your workplace.

Everyday things like clean water, food, shelter, clothing, relationships, and breath in your lun...
