With Lu

Last week we talked about surrendering our lives to Jesus. This week, we’re asking an important question: What comes next? In Episode 14, we explore God’s call to holy living and what it means to “be holy, because He is holy.” Holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about being set apart, pursuing Jesus, and allowing Him to transform our hearts and lives. My prayer is that this conversation encourage...

On the last episode, I shared the beginning of my story. This week, I'm sharing the rest. In Part 2, I'm talking about the moment I fully surrendered my life to Jesus and why that decision changed everything. I'm also sharing why our testimonies matter—because God never intended for us to keep His faithfulness to ourselves. There is power in telling what He has done. If you've ever...

This week, I'm beginning to share my testimony—a story that is ultimately less about me and more about God's redemption and faithfulness throughout every season of my life. As I look back on my childhood, my faith journey, and some of the moments that helped shape who I am today, I'm reminded that God was working long before I could recognize His hand. Even in ordinary moments, He was present, fai...

This week on With Lu, we’re talking about El Roi — “the God who sees me.” From a sweet afternoon spent with a precious friend and animals to a simple reminder of how personal God’s love really is, this episode is all about the kindness of being seen by Him. We’re talking about the story of Hagar, the beauty of how God cares about the little things that matter to us, and how His love often shows up...

This week has been full in the sweetest way — birthdays, Mother’s Day, moving Abbie home from college, and so many moments that made me stop and reflect. Somewhere in the middle of all of it, the Lord has been gently reminding me how grateful I am to simply be His. In this episode, I’m sharing some life lately moments, a special story from my birthday dinner that deeply impacted me, and what God h...

This week was full of real life—from travel, to family moments, to planting a tree in Georgia red clay that reminded me how much work happens beneath the surface before anything can grow. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been stirring in my heart, the shifts I can feel happening, and what I believe God is teaching me in the middle of it all. If you’re in a season where you don’t have all the an...

This week we’re keeping it light and catching up on real life. From long drives for soccer games, to a weekend full of yard work, to one unexpected mama bear moment… life was full. Somewhere in the middle of trimming dead limbs, I was reminded how the Lord lovingly prunes things in our lives to make room for healthy growth. Come hang out for a fun, real conversation with a little encouragement alo...

In this episode of With Lu, I’m opening up about body image struggles, body dysmorphia, and the mental exhaustion that can come with never feeling fully comfortable in your own skin. I share how insecurity can quietly steal joy, presence, and precious moments with the people we love. We’ll talk about the lies that keep us hiding, how keeping our eyes on ourselves can distract us from Jesus, and th...

In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure to be liked and included—and what it looks like to start letting that go. After a few moments recently that made me stop and think, I’ve been reminded that not everything is personal. I’m learning to trust that the Lord places the right people in my life for the right seasons, and that when things shift, it doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Thi...

In this episode, I’m sharing some real-life thoughts on what it feels like to be genuinely grateful for the life, people, and places God has given you… while also feeling tired and stretched thin. We’re talking about busy seasons, burnout, serving, springtime overwhelm, and learning how to stay faithful without running on empty.

This week’s episode is extra special because my daughter is with me, and we’re having a real conversation about what happens when God changes the plan. We talk about disappointment, surrender, and the sweet ways God shows His faithfulness even when life takes an unexpected turn.

My son’s first varsity soccer game was against our biggest rival… but the real lesson came later that night when the Lord quietly checked my heart. This weekend was full of soccer, family, and a lot of emotions. As alumni of the school my son now plays for, our family was definitely invested in the game. But later that evening, when everything got quiet and I was sitting alone, the Lord gently sho...

In this episode of With Lu, I’m sharing what it really means to keep showing up — in the joyful seasons and the hard ones. From celebrating my son’s first varsity soccer season to walking through a difficult season when Zac was losing his vision and working whatever jobs he could find, we’re talking about faithfulness that isn’t flashy. Sometimes obedience just looks like staying. If you’re in a q...

In this first episode of With Lu, I share why this podcast has been on my heart for years, what kept me from starting, and how sometimes obedience begins with just one small step. If you’ve ever delayed something because you didn’t know how, this conversation is for you. Life is real, and God is faithful — even in the figuring-it-out seasons.
