In every season, especially the challenging ones, God is at work, shaping and strengthening us in ways we may not yet see. In today’s episode, Into the Fire, I am joined by special guest Heather Gilion. Fresh from sharing her impactful message at our Happiest Lives Weekend in Missouri, Heather brings her heartfelt insights on walking with God through life’s toughest moments.
Heather is a gifted speaker, the author of Dancing On My Ashes, and a talented artist behind Story Designs. Sidenote: If you love surrounding your home with reminders of God’s word, you won’t want to miss checking out her beautiful artwork.
In this episode, Heather’s story serves as a powerful reminder that we’re never alone in the “fire.” Even in trials, God’s presence refines us, drawing us closer to Him. I hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged and confident, knowing that His constant presence holds you every step of the way.

This is part 4 of the series How To Get Unstuck. A distress signal is an urgent appeal for help. When used for ships, we call it an SOS. When we move into our personal pain, cry for help, and trust the Lord is with us, we move from suffering to surrender. This SOS is the place between where you are and where you want to be-- the Sea of Suffering turned Sea of Surrender (SOS). In today's episode, I show you what to do with your emotions, including six habits to cultivate in your emotional life.

Our focus today is on assuming the best when you feel defensive. The alternative is to assume the worst, which hinders meaningful conversations and connections. We will discuss how approaching situations with a grace-filled mindset can transform relationships and promote understanding.

This is part 2 of the series Urges. Urges are strong desires, almost a compulsion. Answering them may bring relief and even pleasure, but in the long game, answering urges that don't align with our goals and values creates greater suffering. Often times we will go unconscious and act like urges are happening to us, and yet we have the power to choose how we will respond. In this episode, I outline ways to respond to an urge and encourage listeners to choose a response that honors what is most important to them.
