Our foundation, what we build our lives on, matters. And when the storms of life head our way, we need sure footing. So what does it look like to build our lives on the rock? Today, if life feels shaky, listen in. Mexico Beach House Still Standing Transcript: www.julianneelaineclayton.com Instagram: @juleclayton or @remindherpodcast Email: remindherpodcast@gmail.com

What is a life well-lived? I'm finding that the most inspiring lives, the most impactful ones, aren't lived in order to make a name for themselves. Instead, they are lives that are intentional, selfless, faithful, and invested in contributing to the building of God's Kingdom, even one small brick at a time. Listen in.

I don't like to be wrong. I don't think any of us do. But getting it right requires trial and error, a teachable spirit, a willingness to acknowledge our shortcomings, our mistakes, our growing edges. And I've realized that learning to accept when I'm wrong leads to being made right. Listen in. Transcript: www.julianneelaineclayton.com Find me on Instagram: @juleclayton or @remindherpodcast  

We are limited. And while my default is usually to try to push against that reality, I'm learning that maybe, my limitations aren't meant to be a hindrance. Maybe it's okay to acknowledge them. And maybe there is freedom in learning to live within them. Because our limitations are a reminder that we are not God, and that we can ultimately trust and rely on the One who is. Doing so helps us lean in...

We know that water is a lifeline. We need it in order to stay internally hydrated and alive. And recent research also shows that engaging with water has additional, significant mental and emotional benefits, too.  But water also informs our faith. It flows through the pages of Scripture. We often need to be reminded that we are sustained by the Living Waters found in Jesus. Today, if you feel drai...

Throughout the New Testament, our faith is often compared to running a race, and we are called to run the race well. But maybe running the race well isn't about how fast we can finish it. Maybe the goal isn't about achieving our own personal best. Maybe the prize isn't found at the finish line. And maybe the race isn't really about us anyway. If you're worn out from your own personal striving, tod...

Most people are required to take a public speaking course at some point, and I was no different. But in college, I was also required to take a listening course. In today's episode, we explore the importance of a listening ear and an understanding heart, and the posture that leads to both.

We hate to wait. And yet, all throughout Scripture, we see God's people waiting for far longer than they probably would have liked or thought reasonable. And we find that we are called to wait, too. Today I share a couple things I'm learning as I wait. If you feel discouraged in your waiting, this episode might be for you. Listen in.

We read in Ecclesiastes 3 that there is a time for everything. We tend to think that opposing emotions or circumstances are supposed to be separate, that if we pick one up, we have to put the other down. But maybe we don't have to choose. Maybe there's a way to faithfully hold both. Because maybe God is at work in the dissonance. If you're struggling with how to feel or where to focus your time an...

In college, I studied a communication theory called Dual Perspective. Essentially, this theory states that we will be able to more effectively communicate with someone if we are able to see things from their perspective. If we can understand where they're coming from. If we can, as the old adage says, learn what it's like to walk a mile in their shoes. We don't only hold our own perspective; we en...

We have been advised to wear masks whenever we are out in public, and wearing a mask kind of forces us to look each other in the eye. We might not realize it, but when we look someone in the eye, we acknowledge their humanity, their personhood, and the Image of God within them. In Genesis, we read that God created humanity in God's image. It's a detail that applies to each and every unique, imperf...

An uncluttered life provides a clearer picture of who God is, how God is working, and what God is calling us to. But sometimes, our lives are filled to the brim and we lose sight of what is most important. Today's reminder is a call to reset, reevaluate, and rearrange. Listen in! Help me continue to prepare meaningful messages each week! In the context of your faith, what do you need help remember...

Words are powerful. They affect us more than we probably give them credit for. They can both build up and tear down. Bring life and cause destruction. And the way we choose to use them, matters.  The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman Kimberly Coyle Website: www.kimberlyanncoyle.com Kimberly Coyle Instagram: @kimberlyacoyle My Instagram: @juleclayton Email: remindherpodcast@gmail.com Website: www...

"Love is patient. Love is kind..." We all know that familiar passage often read at weddings. But what if the love described in that passage is bigger than a wedding, bigger than a feeling or a sentiment? What if the love we're called to as followers of Jesus isn't dependent on our relationship status? Listen in.

Today, I want to gently offer one simple invitation. Wherever you might be struggling, the first small step toward hope might be to look up. To perhaps move from a posture of putting your head down to just get through it, and instead, lifting your gaze and paying attention. Actress Dorothy Bernard once wrote, "Courage is fear that has said its prayers." And along those same lines, I'd like to offe...

You and I have the opportunity each and every day to be reminders. Yes, we will probably need to be reminded ourselves, hence this podcast, but the purpose in being reminded is that we can then go and remind others of the characteristics and mission of Jesus.

Hey! I'm Julianne Clayton, and I'd like to welcome you to the remind{h}er podcast!
