THRIVE PODCAST

Today’s episode of THRIVE is a little bit different…but hopefully still fun and still fruitful for you.

We’ve ALL been there. The day kicks off and WHAM BAM it’s school pickup then sports then dinner then bedtime and wait, did I forget to pray today? Definitely didn’t have a warm cup of coffee with quiet Bible time…heck, my coffee was forgotten cold somewhere, probably in the microwave for the 8th time. If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company - and you’ll love today’s episode with our new fr...

Friends…it’s time to talk friendships. Making (+ keeping!) girlfriends as grownups is a whole ‘nother level. So many of the stresses we faced on the playground or in the high school halls can somehow feel…alarmingly similar to thoughts racing through our brains as adults. Add to that changing seasons, growing families, different priorities and stages, and it’s like the Wild West out there, ladies!...

Ever feel perpetually guilty for not doing more? Like no matter what you do or how hard you try, it’s simply never enough? Maybe the secret isn’t in finding the right system or adopting the right mindset routine - maybe it’s in accepting that maybe, just maybe, you’re actually just human.

Ever smell something that instantly brings you back to a specific memory, person, or point in time? Maybe the smell of fresh cut grass, or sugar cookies in the oven, or your mom’s perfume? I know what candle was burning in our little townhouse basement back in 2020, and every time I smell Polo cologne it feels like my dad is here for the holidays. Why? Because your sense of smell is directly linke...

For years, Becca Wierwille felt different than everyone else. Namely because she was born with only half of one arm. But instead of letting her limb difference define her, she’s learned to lean in, acknowledge how it impacts her life, and then use it as a way to celebrate others’ differences and God’s intentional design for each of us. Today, Becca writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully...

Maybe the thought of homeschooling or homesteading gives you hive...

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of...meaning? Believe it or not, people who pursue happiness are scientifically LESS happy (and more stressed and less healthy) than people who pursue something else entirely: meaning.
