I can’t help but think that when Christ shows His love to me He likely over looks my faults. He knows I’m not perfect, but He doesn’t let that affect the way He loves me. He loves me not because of how I act or because of how I treat Him, but in spite of it! You know what…there...2020-06-1717 min

The Intertwined Life Podcast - w/ Jenny Zentz - Christian Women (Faith, Marriage, Parenting, Growth)Ep. 10: For the Christian Mom Who is Losing Her Mind: You Are Not Alone!Perhaps you’ve heard the Maya Angelou quote, “Know better. Do Better.” But what happens when you know better, but you keep not doing the thing you know to do! No offense to Maya Angelou! I respect her work and know that she had a different message in mind with these words. But here is where I find myself: Once again, my big mouth and my emotional overdrive have gotten the better of me. Once again, I let my feelings trample all over my hard-earned wisdom. You see, it is oft...2020-05-2019 min

The Intertwined Life Podcast - w/ Jenny Zentz - Christian Women (Faith, Marriage, Parenting, Growth)Ep. 9 - His Issues/Her Issues: Are You Seeing Clearly in Your MarriageI am such a speck inspector! And unfortunately, (especially for Tim) my marriage is often not exempt from my expertise. You know what I’m talking about, right? The passage in Luke about the beam and the speck? I seem to have an uncanny ability to see around or even straight through the beam in my eye to help Tim identify the speck in his. Praise God, I’m not a bad as I used to be, but no doubt, I still have plenty of work to do! Find all Scripture references from this...2020-05-0626 min

Sometimes we need others to help us shine the Light of His Truth in our dark places. Decide to reach out! I’m so thankful my friends were there to help me lift my hands to heaven when I didn’t have the strength to do it for myself. And know this… I truly believe there is purpose in pain! If we will give our broken pieces to the Lord He will use them and us to impact the world for His kingdom. But we must decide...2020-04-2440 min

The Intertwined Life Podcast - w/ Jenny Zentz - Christian Women (Faith, Marriage, Parenting, Growth)Ep 6: Called and Equipped: What God Calls You to He Will Equip You to DoHere’s a thought: Just because things don’t go according to your plans, doesn’t mean they are not going according to His. He knows what is around every corner, and He has equipped you to handle it before you even saw it coming. Friends, whatever He calls you to He will equip you to do and do well...with His help!

The Intertwined Life Podcast - w/ Jenny Zentz - Christian Women (Faith, Marriage, Parenting, Growth)Ep 5: Holding on to Our Faith in the Midst of the ChaosHow did the heroes of the faith maintain that faith when everything around them was going crazy? How do we?? Let me ask you this. Have you reasoned that He is able? Do you, like Paul, know Whom you have believed? Not do you know about Him, but do you actually know Him? I believe therein lies the secret to Rock-solid faith! To a faith that can withstand the chaos of our present moment and fight the pull of coronaphobia which threatens to invade our homes and our sanity. This episode is jam-packed with Scripture...2020-03-1845 min

The Intertwined Life Podcast - w/ Jenny Zentz - Christian Women (Faith, Marriage, Parenting, Growth)Ep 4 : Decision Fatigue And the Weary MomThere’s always more. There will always be more opportunities and options than you have the time and capacity for. And just because some have to be left behind does not necessarily mean any one thing (pursuit, task, action) is better than the ones left behind. There will always be more. And it is possible that it is all good. Decision fatigue is real, my friends! In the midst of a particularly emotional storm of overwhelm, I sat pouring out my complaints to the Lord. Begging (as I have done countless times over the past decade), “Lord, just...2020-03-1124 min
