What is holding you back from that big "yes" that God has put in front of you? Fear? Confusion? Busyness?
All of those are valid concerns, but you know what should never hold you back? Money. God has all the money in the universe, and if He calls you to do something, He is more than able to finance it.
That's a portion of what McCall Aldridge and I are talking about in this episode. McCall works for Fund the Nations, where she gets to see miracles every day. How cool is that? People are stepping out in faith and God is providing for their needs in ways that surpass their expectations.
Have a listen, and I pray that you are encouraged to trust God with your own story.

Life is hard. We all know people who are going through difficult times but often we hesitate to help, even though we want to, because we aren't sure what to do. We have a confidence problem when it comes to reaching out to our neighbors.
In this episode, I talk to Sarah Beckman about her book, Alongside, and how we can take the things we are already doing and use them to minister to others in their time of need.

How do you raise grateful kids in our entitled society? How do we encourage gratefulness in ourselves?
I love this conversation with Kristen Welch, author, mom, and founder of Mercy House Global. She took her family on a journey of providing sustainable jobs for vulnerable women around the world, and in the process her family gained a global worldview that looks a bit more like Jesus.

Do you feel overwhelmed and confused trying to follow Jesus and serve others? Is that just me? What if God is telling us to slow down and rest while He does the heavy lifting, and when He's ready for us to step in He'll let us know?
Heather shares about an extended time of uncertain health and how that forced her to rest. It was in that rest that God was working out the details of her next big assignment. Because she wasn't able to do a thing, there's no way she could take the credit for what happened next.

How do you make a God-honoring decision when faced with two options that look equally good? What should you do if you and your husband disagree on the right path? How does submission fit in to all of this?
On this episode, my good friend Hannah talks about making the decision to leave comfort for the unknown, and how she saw God transform her through this process. You also get to hear about me chasing my baby goat like a lunatic to try to get him to faint. There's something for everyone!

Are you facing a Winter season in your soul? Maybe everything in your life is fresh and new like Springtime. On today's episode Amy and Tammy talk about times in their life--a cancer diagnosis while pregnant, a time of estrangement from loved ones--when God used the dry times to build them up and make them stronger. They also talk about times when God asked them to step out in faith to make radical changes that didn't make sense.

This episode is a bit different because it's not any interview. It's just me, sharing my heart about what I've learned about God's timing and His tendency to answer my prayers at the most inconvenient time, long after I thought that opportunity had passed, in the most amazing ways.
If you are in a confusing place with the Lord, where you thought you were doing the right thing only to have God put the brakes on it, this episode is for you.

Are you struggling with the same issues over and over? Do you feel like Satan's lies are so loud you can't hear the voice of God? In this episode, I'm talking with Christine Chappell, author of Clean Home, Messy Heart.

What does it mean to live an upside down Christian life? The crazy thing is, what we may think of as extraordinary, radical Christianity is what the Bible describes as pretty much baseline Jesus following. How do we get back to the idea that being a Christian means looking different from society?
Iâm excited to talk about all these things with the lovely Kayla Craig. Sheâs a mom, a pastorâs wife, a podcaster, a childrenâs book author, and more. If you donât know Kayla yet, trust me youâre going to love her. -
If youâve ever wondered how to be a missionary without leaving your neighborhood, todayâs episode is for you! Iâm talking to Shontell Brewer, who has a passion for encouraging families to be on mission together, in whatever form that may take.
We talk about tacos! We also talk about why we should take our preschoolerâs lead when it comes to ministry, and why we should occasionally kiss our husbands in front of our kidsâ friends.Many thanks to today's sponsor: BinxyBaby.com

How do you raise gutsy kids? It starts with you, momma. On todayâs podcast we talk about sharing our authentic selvesâour struggles, our prayers, and our triumphsâso our kids can see God move in our lives. When our kids see us taking risks and watch God come through, they will be encouraged to be brave for God too.

Do you know Jesus? No really. Do you know that you know that you know Jesus? Who is He to you? Who is God to you? Can you honestly say you love Him? In todayâs episode we go beyond the textbook Sunday School answers to look at how to evaluate your relationship with Christ. This is fundamental, my friends. Nothing else on earth or beyond matters more than loving Jesus.
What does that mean? Where do you start? What do you do about your doubts? If you are ready to move past surface-level Christianity, I canât wait to introduce you to Rebecca Pierce. Rebecca is a wife, a mom, and a podcaster who loves teaching women the basics of walking with Jesus.

Do you believe in miracles? As a follower of Jesus I believe in miracles. I know they exist. I know God still performs miracles. But Iâve never actually seen one. I donât know why that is, to be honest, but I know thatâs not the way weâre supposed to live. I know we Christians are supposed to see God work in miraculous ways all the time, but we are content to live average lives devoid of any power. I want to change that. Thatâs why Iâm so glad to have Vanessa Clark on todayâs show. Vanessa has an amazing story of watching a miracle unfold in her own home when God healed her infant son of blindness.
If you struggle with your faith in Godâs power or Godâs goodness or Godâs concern for our problems, I hope youâll be encouraged today. I donât have all the answers to who God heals and who He doesnât or the whys behind all of that, but I do know God is good and God loves you more than you can ever imagine. -
Would you consider your life ordinary? I think many of us would, but can you say you are rocking it anyway? Thatâs what todayâs guest is here to help with. Lea Ann want you to know the impact we moms have in our ordinary lives, how to overcome when we feel like a failure, the significant influence we have in our intimate relationships, and the ways our past pain enables us to reach out in compassion.
In this interview, we also talk about adoption, grace, and the difference between boredom and a burden. Letâs embrace our ordinary and change the world for Jesus! -
Ladies, do you ever feel weary, overwhelmed, unqualified, and just plain fresh out of amazing? Can I tell you youâre not alone. Not even close. I feel like todayâs guest really opened the door for all of us moms to realize we arenât the only ones who feel that way.
Stacey Thacker is the author of an upcoming book called âFresh Out of Amazingâ and sheâs here to share the moment that brought her flat to the feet of Jesus in the middle of her laundry pile and how her obedience not only helped her find her significance and strength in Jesus, but she has been able to encourage thousands of women through her words.

Mama, do you have big dreams and small children? Are you feeling like those two things canât coexist? Sometimes we feel God calling us to do somethingâa ministry, a new job, a mission trip, whateverâbut we think we need to wait for our kids to get bigger before we get started. If that sounds familiar, boy do I have a guest for you.
Tricia Goyer knows what itâs like to raise a family alongside a flourishing career and ministry. In this interview she gives us practical tips on how she makes it happen, but she also alleviates the mom guilt. One of my favorite points she makes is that we tell our kids to grow up and fulfill their dreams, but then we never do. Our kids need to see us following God now, not waiting until weâre empty nesters.

Today Iâm thrilled to be talking to Tara Livesay, a wife, mom, midwife, and full-time missionary in Haiti. On this podcast my goal is to encourage you to say yes to God, whatever that might look like, and see where it leads. When I first found Tara online I assumed she and her husband had always been missionaries, or had training, or whatever, but as youâll see, none of that is true. Their story began by saying yes. And it wasnât even a big yes. It was saying yes to explore the possibility of doing something for God, and He honored that and wove together this amazing life for them.
I hope as you listen to Tara, you are inspired to say yes to the next step God is putting in front of you. It might not make a lick of sense, but it doesnât have to.
I canât wait to hear what your next yes is! -
Does a Christian life equal a life without grief? If youâve been a Christian for more than a week Iâm sure you know the answer to that, but why are we surprised when hardships come? Jesus promised we would face trials, so itâs not a matter of if, but when. Jesus also promised to give us peace that passes all understanding. So how are we supposed to react to hardships? What can we do to find hope and joy in the midst of our trials?
Today Iâm talking to Lindsey Andrews. Sheâs a wife, mom, writer, lawyer, and the sister of a man who took his own life after a long struggle with depression. We talk about mental illness and suicide, and the shocking trend of younger and younger children sharing their deep hurts on social media. We also talk about what we parents can do to hopefully make sure our own children feel safe enough to come to us with their struggles before they get out of hand.

Todayâs episode is one that Iâve been wanting to do for a long time. The subject of abortion is near and dear to my heart. I havenât personally had an abortion, but throughout our adoption process Iâve come face to face with desperation, despair, and life situations that I previously had no concept of. Then I start to wonder, what if? What if I had been in a similar situationâwhat choices would I have made?
I think the more I know Jesus and long to be more like Him, the more I truly try to understand people and what their lives look like. What leads to these decisions? What causes people to behave certain ways or believe certain things? How can we as Christians help our brothers and sisters break through Satanâs lies and find hope and healing in Jesus?
When I met Amber, I knew I had to have her on the show. Her story embodies all the things I was just talking about. She speaks with such clarity and grace that I want everyone to hear her. Iâm praying that whatever you are dealing with, this episode will point you toward healing in those deepest broken places. - Se mer
