I pray you will walk away with a new understanding of the depth, beauty, and gift of the Sabbath and that you...

Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection with them?  That is how I felt when I met the women I’m talking with on today’s episode. I literally met them 3 days ago.  By the end of the evening, we had shared dinner together, prayed together, and went to a strip club together!  Stay tuned for a fascinating episode.

One More Child is a nonprofit organization working on the front lines to push back the darkness in multiple areas.  One of the things they do is help rescue children from sex trafficking.

When we first moved to Florida three years ago, I took a job with One More Child.  That’s where I met Christi Haag.  Her husband, Dr. Jerry Haag, is the president of One More Child.  Christi is a fearless trailblazer in Christian orphan c...

My guest today shares a story that is all too common for so many women.  It’s the story of discovering her husband’s marital betrayal.  This is part one of our conversation.  We talk about what does a woman do when she is in the early stages of her journey.  We talk about how God sustains women.  And what about the woman who decides to stay? If you or someone you know has walked through marital betrayal, would you be willing to sha...

Have you ever seen that popular sign "She Believed She Could, So She Did"?  Does that message resonate with you, or do you ever wonder if it is really true?  Women are told that we can do and be whatever we want.  It is a message of female empowerment.  But what is female empowerment, and is it biblical?  Today I have a conversation with my friend and author Becky Beresford, who shares an important message about biblical,...

I so deeply respect Kristi McLelland and the work she does. She has written a Bible Study that is dear to my heart, Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now.

If you’ve ever struggled to understand the Bible or felt intimidated by it, Kristi extends a beautiful invitation to the way we approach God’s Word. I know you’re goin...

How do you define love? I think love can be defined by presence.  That’s why my favorite name for Jesus, which we hear often during Advent but not very much at other times of the year, is "Immanuel” (God with us).  Christ coming to earth to dwell among us is the perfect embodiment of what love is. Today is our final Advent episode and the last episode of 2023.

Joy is our most vulnerable emotion. Most of us hold it at a distance for fear of the disappointment that might follow.  Join me as I speak with author, speaker, and therapist Nicole Zasowski who challenges us to find the courage to embrace joy.

I won't be doing an advent reading today. Instead, I'm going to infuse this episode with so much JOY by sharing my conversation with Nicole.

I think the promise of God's peace is meant to be ours even when life is busy and hectic. When the kids are sick and the car breaks down. And especially during those times when we need it most - when we walk through grief and loss, face a  scary diagnosis, or are working through relational heartbreak. That is when the peace of god is most needed.

Beth Claes has a website titled Wrestled Faith. This has been her lived experience. Beth was a psychology professor for ten years and has shifted her profession to Biblical Counseling.
