#93: Introduction to AT THE TABLE (start of Season 3)

Have you ever felt caught between the beauty and messiness of life, wondering how to let go of the old to embrace what God is calling you into next? In this season opener, I pull back the curtain on the transformation of The Art of a Messy House podcast, revealing how embracing discomfort, surrender, and community are reshaping not just this show but my own walk of faith. Whether you’re navigating a season of letting go, searching for purpose in the everyday, or longing to find unity and authentic connection, this episode is meant to meet you at the table, right where you are.

As we step into this new chapter, I invite you to join me in exploring what it means to move from survival mode to a posture of thriving, to rest deeply and trust more fully, and to unite together in honest conversation, virtually for now, but with hearts united. I’ll share my own struggles with releasing control, wrestling with rest, and the profound lessons God has entrusted to me in seasons of transition, uncertainty, and unexpected blessings.

Here's what I cover:

• Why I felt compelled to shift the format of the podcast, what letting go of familiar rhythms has taught me, and how God uses our willingness to surrender for greater fruitfulness.
• My journey from “addicted to productivity” to learning how to pause, practice stillness, and receive God’s true definition of rest, even when it feels so foreign.
• Honest reflections about encountering disappointment, facing the unexpected, and watching God turn pain into beauty and tests into testimonies.
• How naming our concerns, confessing strongholds, and aligning our minds with Scripture help us step into freedom and purpose.
• Why conversations matter now more than ever, and how we’re called to be bridges, not just for ourselves, but within a world hungry for hope, healing, and true connection.

This episode is an invitation: who’s at your table, and who can you invite to join? I hope my vulnerability gives you permission to pause, reflect, and reconsider what you’ve been holding onto and where God might be making space for the new in your life. Pull up a seat—your undone hair, your doubts, and dreams are all welcome here. Let’s step out of isolation, come together in faithful conversation, and trust that at God’s table, there’s room for us all. It is in His presence that lives are transformed.

So take a breath and tune in. Ask yourself: What am I being called to release? Which conversations—perhaps the messy ones—do I need to have? What has God entrusted to me in this season? Because when we show up as we are, united in truth and love, that’s where transformation begins. Be blessed, and I can’t wait to continue these life-giving conversations at the table with you.
