BecomingPit, Purpose + RedemptionPit, Purpose + Redemption: When I think about the valleys or the pits in my own life and I think, will they ever end? God will bring his hand of reprieve for a time and its beautiful and I am reminded and even more convinced of His goodness. But why is it that I seem to fall back into these pitiful places time and time again?The purpose of this episode is to shed light on God's redemptive goodness and the operational power of grace to pull you up and out of the difficult places and seasons that l...
2026-02-1837 minBecomingWhat is Faith?What is Faith? Faith isn’t having every step mapped out or being certain of the outcome—its choosing to step anyway. It’s the surrender of, “I don’t know what I am doing” paired with the courage of , “But I am showing up anyway. ” That kind of trust requires humility (acknowledging your limits) and boldness (acting despite of them). I really think God delights in that posture. Scripture often shows Him responding to people who moved forward imperfectly but faithfully—Abraham setting out “not knowing where he was going.” Peter stepping out of the boat onto the water, and th...
2026-01-0626 minBecomingDreaming After DisappointmentLet’s talk about dreaming after disappointment. Maybe you're in a season where dreaming feels super hard and sticking your neck out one last time is the last thing you want to do. Because for some of us maybe our biggest battle isn’t disappointment, it’s over yielding out of disappointment, it’s mistaking numbness for peace and trading risk for relief and then calling that faith. But let me tell you, you’re not here for relief. You’re here for revival. You’re here to plant orchards not just settle in safe gardens. What if I as...

2025-11-0427 minBecomingSowing Seeds You May Never SeeThe eternal reward of God’s work far outweighs temporary success on earth. Your desire for impact, influence, and fruit may feel unmet now, but your perserverence in faith, love, and service is eternal. So if you’re in a waiting season—the fruit may not fully manifest now, but God is recording it in his hall of faith. But here is what I am learning. Maybe the point isn’t always to see the fruit right now. Maybe the point is to sow seeds you may never see. Trusting that God is working beneath the surfa...
2025-10-2125 minBecomingWhen to Lean In and When to Step Back: Rhythms for Motherhood.I can pour in, and I can be poured into. I can lean in close, and I can step back andbreathe. I can engage fully, and I can retreat to be renewed. I can be present,and I can find reprieve. I can hold space for others, and I can hold space formyself.What cultural Christianity often sounds like: A good mom sacrifices everything with a smile. If you're weary, you're probably not spiritual enough. Holiness=busyness for others. It's all about performing and proving. It uses religious words but is powered by guilt and comparison. Not...
2025-10-1432 minBecomingFrom Pressure to Purpose: Releasing the Need to Be Meaningful + Living A Life of SurrenderWelcome back! Today we are asking ourselves the question if what we are building, is it kingdom-building or self-building? Especially when the things we are building look good on paper, like launching a coaching business or a podcast or even hosting retreats. The original idea came from some thoughts that I had been wrestling with personally, like how do I discern if I am making life about me, my wishes, my dreams, my desires or if I’m making life about him and building His kingdom. Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God an...

But as the day unfolds, with all its demands and distractions, that closeness can start to fade. Maybe you’ve felt that too—like when you come home from a women’s retreat or...

But how do we learn to navigate both the dreams in our heart while juggling life at home? The truth is, you cannot do it all. But the good news? You were never meant to. God does not ask you to be everything to everyone. He simply asks you to say “yes” to whats yours today. However, recognize you’re not choosing between your children and your calling. Your both/and life...
