Everyday Truths

What if the version of faith you learned… isn’t the one Jesus intended?

In this episode, Sherri sits down with Damaris to unpack a deeply personal and often unspoken struggle: living as the “put-together Christian” while quietly feeling angry, pressured, and disconnected from the grace of God.

As part of the Letters to Me series, Damaris reflects on a season of legalism, judgment, and performance—and the moment everything be...

What do you do when you feel called by God… but your life looks nothing like it should?

In this episode, Sherri sits down with Clayton Tyner for a powerful and honest conversation about identity, expectations, rebellion, and the grace of a God who never stops pursuing us.

As part of the Letters to Me series, Clayton reflects on his journey—from the weight of being “the kid with a calling,” to running hard in the opposite dir...

What would you say to a younger version of yourself?

In this first episode of our new Letters to Me series, I sit down with Lyndy Stokes to talk about her story—one shaped by adoption, identity questions, and the deep ache of rejection… and ultimately, the truth that she was chosen all along.

Lyndy is an author, mom of three, and the creator of Light and Truth Company, where she helps families engage with Scripture in simple...

Last week, we talked about how temptation shows up when we’re overwhelmed, burned out, and just trying to survive.

This week, we’re continuing the conversation—looking at the quieter, more subtle places temptation shows up in our everyday lives.

Because sometimes it’s not about survival mode…

Sometimes it’s when you’re:

•  Hurt or misunderstood 
•  Feeling unseen or overlooked 
•  Or honestly… when everything seems “fine”

Temptation doesn’t only show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up when we’re exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, hurt, or just trying to make it through the day.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by three wise and honest women for a real conversation about what temptation can look like in seasons of depletion, burnout, secrecy, overworking, numbing, and survival mode.

This is Part 1 of a two-...

Temptation doesn’t always come dressed as something bad.
 Sometimes it looks like a blessing.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we finish our journey through the temptations of Jesus in Matthew 4 and uncover why the most dangerous temptations are the ones that feel justified, spiritual, or even good.

We explore:

• How temptation meets legitimate needs in illegitimate ways
• Why pride and self-reliance quietly ...

Pride doesn’t usually feel like pride.
 It feels like being right.
 Being justified.
 Being better.
 Being seen.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we continue our conversation on temptation by looking at the second temptation of Jesus — when He’s challenged to jump from the top of the temple and prove who He is.

We talk about:

• Why pride always looks like truth from the inside
• How Scripture can be ...

Temptation isn’t rare—and it isn’t random.
It meets real needs in the wrong way.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we begin a multi-episode journey through one of the most relatable moments in Scripture: Jesus being tempted in the wilderness.

Using the story of the marshmallow experiment, real-life examples, and Matthew 4, we explore:

Why temptation often feels reasonable and justifiable

How Jesus faced real h...

This is a special one-off episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast—and it’s all about kids.

In this episode, I’m sharing the heart behind the launch of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, a brand-new podcast created to help kids grow a simple, real faith—and help families have meaningful conversations together.

This podcast started with real conversations in everyday life: in the car, during girls’ nights, and through honest que...

Christmas doesn’t end when we pack up the nativity and drag the tree to the curb. The arrival of Jesus wasn’t just a sweet, sentimental moment—it was a cosmic one. In this final episode of the Christmas series, we talk about how the story goes beyond the manger into our identity, our peace, and the way we walk into January and beyond.

In this episode we’ll explore:

Why the angels’ announcement to the shepherds was a cosmic e...

In Week 2 of our Christmas series, we’re zooming in on how real people responded when the news of Jesus interrupted their lives.

We’ll walk through the stories of Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, the shepherds, the magi, and Herod—and what their responses reveal about faith, doubt, control, courage, and joy. From Mary’s honest questions to Joseph’s costly obedience, from Zechariah’s skepticism to Elizabeth’s celebration,...

We tend to start the Christmas story with a manger, some shepherds, and maybe an angel choir. But the story of Christmas actually began much earlier—when brokenness first entered the world.

In this first episode of the Christmas series, we zoom out and look at the big picture of Christmas:
how sin fractured our relationship with God, how shame entered the story, and how God immediately began a rescue plan that would one...

In this episode, Wes and I dig into something we all wrestle with: how to make decisions when you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or overthinking every option. We talk about the ways we’re wired differently—he’s the “slow down, think it through” brake pedal, and I’m the “let’s move and figure it out on the way” gas pedal—and how God speaks to each of us uniquely.

You’ll hear us unpack:

• What to do when your mind feels crowded
• Why o...

How do you actually work together with your spouse without constantly tripping over each other’s expectations, personalities, and plans?

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by her husband, Wesley, to answer a listener question: “How do you guys work together?” From playful conspiracy theories to practical frameworks, they unpack how they’ve learned to live as teammates—not rivals—in marriage, fa...

Parenting is wild. One minute you’re praying sweet bedtime prayers, the next minute you’re saying, “No more questions. Go to sleep.” And somehow, this whole exhausting, beautiful thing is one of the clearest ways we see the heart of God.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by her husband Wesley for a real, unpolished conversation on parenting with purpose. Using the same framework they apply to ...

Ever feel like life just won’t stop moving? In this Table Talk, Sherri and Tiffany get real about what it means to find rest in a world that glorifies hustle. They talk about why we idolize being busy, how to tell what really matters, and why Jesus modeled rest as a gift — not a rule.

It’s honest, funny, and full of practical encouragement for anyone who’s feeling stretched thin.

👉 Listen in for hope, perspective, and permi...

What if the hardest part of obedience isn’t knowing what God said—but trusting Him enough to do it?

This week, Sherri sits down with John Pyle to talk about the moments when you know what God’s asking, but fear, timing, or uncertainty make it hard to move.

From discerning God’s voice to finding peace in the pause, this honest conversation will help you take your next step of faith—one small act of trust at a time.

What do you do when you’re praying and it feels like heaven’s on mute?

In this episode of Everyday Truths, Sherri and her longtime friend John Glenn Pyle talk about what it means to hear from God in seasons of silence.

They explore why quiet seasons aren’t punishment, how to recognize God’s presence in the wilderness, and what to do when it seems like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. You’ll walk away reminded that:

This week looks a little different. No studio. No guest. Just an unplanned conversation from my heart.

I’ve been grieving the way we, as believers, have started to mirror the noise of the world—louder, harsher, and quicker to divide. But Jesus didn’t call us to win arguments; He called us to love people.

In this episode, we’ll revisit stories like the Good Samaritan and the woman caught in adultery—and remember what it means...
