Hey, friend! Have you ever considered that being an encouragement to someone is a way you can live out your faith? Back in December, I shared three episodes to help you live out your faith with clarity, courage, and consistency. In those episodes, I gave several ideas for living out your faith. This week as I'm recording this episode, I've been reminded that even the small things we do, like sayin...

Hey, friend! It's the third week of the year. How are you? Are you moving forward and doing your best to achieve the goals you set at the beginning of the year? Or are you feeling overwhelmed with life feeling that nothing has changed just because we are in a new year? I'll admit that the last few weeks have not been very productive for me. My daughter has been home from college for the last month...

In episode 165, I shared how it looks to live out your faith with clarity. If you listened to that episode, you'll recall that I mentioned a survey I sent out to my newsletter subscribers a few months ago. The responses showed that women struggled to make the time necessary to live out their faith. After analyzing the survey results, I concluded that women need to know how to live out their faith...

Do you struggle with knowing how to live out your faith? A few weeks ago, I sent a survey to my newsletter subscribers. I asked them what their biggest struggle was when it came to living out their faith. There were several women who answered with things like not knowing how to pray effectively or how to stand firm in a world that is so opposed to God. But the one thing most women mentioned was ti...

Hey, friend! Have you tried to live out your calling but found yourself tired, unmotivated, or unsure about what you should be doing?   When we try to do life on our own, it's easy to become discouraged. But when we surround ourselves with godly friends and family, we stand a better chance of living out what God has called us to do.   In episode 164, I will share how being a part of a community ca...

Hey, friend. I see you sitting there looking at your calendar for the next couple of months, wondering how you will survive the holiday season that's looming ahead.

Are you content with your life? Or do you wish that life was somehow different or better than it is now? Friend, let me put your mind at ease. You are not alone. We've all dealt with feeling discontented at some point in our lives. If you are a believer, you know that God calls us to live with a spirit of contentment. In 1 Timothy 6:6-7, Paul shares these words with Timothy. "But godliness with co...

Have you ever felt like God was calling you to make a shift or pivot in your calling? Has He called you to move from what you've been doing for a long time to something new? I would suspect that if you are a believer, God has made a shift in your calling at various times in your life. Maybe that shift was easy to do. There are natural times when our calling will shift or take on a new focus, like...

Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder where the time went? Or do you feel like you've spent your time wisely when the day ends? Chances are you've wasted at least a little time during the day. And it's possible that many of your days may be filled with wasted time.

Today marks the end of the first year of the relaunch of the podcast. On September 1, 2021, I relaunched the podcast after taking a year off. Over the last year, we've talked a lot about how to declutter our minds, homes, and lives so we can live out what matters most. In this episode, I talk about a significant event in my life that happened this summer. While dealing with this event, I felt the...

Have you ever experienced a time management "oops?" We've all done it before. You know, saying "yes" to something when our hearts and minds (and calendars) tell us to say "no." Or we agree to take on too many responsibilities because we believe we have the time to take care of them all. Maybe it's because we don't want to let others down. Or perhaps we just have a burning desire to help out and ar...

Do you have two minutes? What about 5 minutes? Would you believe me if I said you could get important things done in as little as two minutes? It's true!

In this episode, I will share how you can look at your task...
