Whole Family Mission

Most of us deal with anxiety or are actively supporting someone else struggling with it. In severe cases, professional help and medication is required, but for many of us, turning our thoughts over to the One that promises peace that surpasses understanding is the antidote. Press play to hear a few life updates, my go-to comfort food meal, and all about what Philippians 4 has to say about managing...

With so much tragedy flooding our news feeds, it can be hard to know how to respond to suffering. I don't have all the answers. I am not a grief counselor. I don't have a seminary degree. BUT I do have a personal relationship with Jesus, and I have experienced my own grief. On this episode, I share my thoughts and questions to consider regarding the way we show up to a hurting world (especially on...

Press play for updates around the miscarriage and what's going on with my full-time job situation. Stay tuned in for a movie and book recommendation for the adults AND a book recommendation for the kiddos. It's a book that someone I worked with for a brief period about 8 years ago gave me when I was pregnant with my oldest and it has been such a blessing to our family. Thanks, Shelley! You Are Spe...

Buckle up for this one, folks. I get into my miscarriage story (skip to 11:10 to by-pass), which leads to a phrase God told me over ten years ago; EXERCISE YOUR PRAISE. I share stories from the hardest times in my life when nothing about my circumstances seemed like a reason to praise, BUT GOD. God is worthy of our praise because He is a good God and He desires good things for us. Tune in to hear...

You do not want to miss listening to this one - I get into some personal details where I share how I forced my hand to get what I thought I wanted...and when I finally let go and let God bring me something even better. We hear "just let go and let God" all the time, but how do we actually do that!? Our pastor always says, "Dependency is the currency of the kingdom". This episode dives into what de...

What is community? Why is it important? How do we cultivate it? I get into all of this on this special LAUNCH day episode of the podcast.
