The Joy in Hope Podcast114. We Waited for "The One"Five years ago, my friend Anne and I recorded an episode called Waiting for the "The One" (A Woman's Perspective). We were both single at the time, waiting for the Lord to reveal our husbands to us. Little did we know, He would lead me to Casey less than three weeks after our episode, and He led Anne to Jeff less than three months later! Our stories are testimonies to the goodness and providence of God, and we feel called to share them in order to inspire hope for those still waiting on "the one."

Happy In the Mess PodcastWhat's Wrong with Me?: Happy in the Mess Season 2 Episode 19
“What’s wrong with me?” How many times have you asked yourself this question? When was the last time? Today the coaches banter around this thought - how shame and guilt can show up in our relationships and in our own heads. This is such a normal thought, but it’s important to recognize when it shows up, how it affects us, and how we can address it so that we can show up in a real, authentic, and FREE place in our lives.
Check out some of the references we made:

For example, maybe you believe Jesus rose from the dead but have a difficult time believing He did so to free you from an addiction that has taken over your life; or maybe you believe in the Resurrection but don't believe new life is possible for you after everything you've done.

How to Know If You're Having Lustful ThoughtsIn our current culture, we are constantly bombarded by unholy images that fail to uphold our God-given dignity and that of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Although we've all been tempted toward impurity at some point or another (or likely will be one day), St. John Paul II and Dr. Edward Sri have some very helpful advice on how to know whether you've actually lusted in your thoughts.

While that shouldn't encourage us to do things like skip school (though that is a great movie), it's true that life moves pretty fast - sometimes so much so that it seems like more than we can handle. However, we are not alone in this feeling.
