The letter of the week is my favorite letter "M" and the word of the week is mindset . Our actions begin, first, in our minds as thoughts. Those thoughts become words, those words become actions, and ultimately change things in our lives. By thinking of, meditating on, and believing in our Godly desires, we enable ourselves to see those desires come to pass by first believing in them. Sh...

This week's word is what this show is all about – love . Genuine love requires our whole selves. It calls for a synchronicity between the mind, the body, and the soul. It is more than its definition of an intense feeling, and more than its description as a verb or action. Love, while romanticized as a privilege reserved for those who earn or deserve it, is a free gift  from a gracious God tha...

Hey yall, hey! It's the most wonderful time of the year! This week, we're spreading joy and talking kindness .  Kindness makes use of our time, energy and gifts for the betterment of our own lives and the lives of others. It is built upon thoughtfulness, generosity and consideration. But unlike merely being nice, one cannot truly be kind without a conviction to care that comes from withi...

Hey friend, hey! Our Weekly Word is Journal . This is one that we've talked about across several episodes, because it's such a powerful of a practice. Outside of the known therapeutic benefits of journaling, the practice also has a strong positive correlation to success when it comes to accomplishing our goals. Tune in as we talk about how keeping a journal has helped us execute on ideas...

Hey y'all, hey! The letter of the week if I and our  Weekly Word is Image . Every one of us, no matter our circumstance, was created in God’s image and should be treated with the honor and respect that is due to God’s image-bearer. Understanding that we are thoughtfully designed in God’s divine image should lay the foundation for how we perceive ourselves. Tune in and weigh in as we talk self...

Hey y'all, hey! Happy Thanksgiving, friends! We're back with A Weekly Word, the letter this week is H and word is Healing . Trying to fit this week's discussion into less than an hour was a huge undertaking, but we managed. Healing is ongoing, compounded and comprehensive, it's big and also very much in the little things. While we had a high level conversation here, there'...

Hey y'all, hey! The letter is G and Weekly Word is Gift . We've each been blessed with gifts by the Spirit, but in so many instances we are underutilizing them or not using them at all. How would we feel if we gave a gift and the recipient didn't appreciate it, or worse didn't even want to open it. Tune in to hear how we plan to deepen our individual practices of utilizing our...

Hey y'all, hey! We are back for another week, and the Weekly Word is Faith . We talk about what faith is and what it has meant to us in good times, hard times, and times when we felt unsure if we even still had faith. Listen in as we discuss our specific practices for how to strengthen our faith. Our prayer for the week is this: God, thank you for the unmerited gift of salvation for nothing m...

Hey y'all, hey! Tennille and I are back and we're unpacking that topic of Empathy , the Weekly Word for the letter E. We dive into the different categories of empathy, how to practice it in meaningful ways, and when to re-consider our approach and our capacity to do so. Our prayer for the week is this: God, thank you for creating us to show compassion. Thank you for the opportunity to be...

Hey y'all, hey! Episode 4 is on a topic that had really stretched me, especially as of late. The word of the week is Discipline . In this season of more responsibility and greater freedom, I have had to maintain boundaries and create routines to help keep not just my work, but my self-care and social life in a healthy rhythm. This week we talk about our strengths, our room for improvement, ou...

Hey y'all, hey! Episode 3, let's gooo! We are speaking on a topic this week that might get the saints a little in their feelings, but it is the letter "C" from my Weekly Word series on the Love, Maaden blog. The word of the week is Church . Before we dive in. We gave major love to the Woman Evolve delegation leader and Head Church-girl in Charge, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts and...

The next to last episode in the regular season, and it's a good one! *pun intended* We're getting into  all the ways that we cant treat ourselves and others better through our actions, and even our thinking.  We're both leaving stuff that we're over this week.

Hey lovelies! It's episode 10 in our twelve-week series on Healing Through Hospitality and this week Tennille and I are taking about how, and why, to Have Hope in every season. I hate to go there again, but in the midst of yet another surge,  I am leaving behind COVID burnout and the extra stress that comes with pretending to live a normal life in an ongoing pandemic. When I considered all th...

Hey girl hey! It's episode 9 in our twelve-week series on Healing Through Hospitality, Rest & Reset. This is a topic that we've covered before on this show with a guest co-host back in season 2. Even still, it's so fundamental to our healing that it deserved to be on of the 12 principles and a deeper, honest discussion on how we do/don't practice this in our own lives. Befo...
