The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way67. Not My ProblemHello to all my problem-solvers! The ones who automatically jump in and want to help bring solutions to all the challenges they come across. So often we find ourselves inundated with too many problems for too many people and not enough time to solve them all. The reality is, we aren't supposed to. And the second reality is that most of us don't want to actually solve problems because it's much more comfortable to talk about the issues or just think about the solutions without putting action behind it. As I've grown, I've learned that there are three tests to...2024-03-1239 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way66.

Life RhythmsSometimes our lives can get thrown into upheaval and we have to find an entirely new rhythm. That takes time, trial and error, and lots of practice. I know this because my life has been upended in the last several months due to ongoing mystery health issues, and it's been tough to adjust. But I am learning so many good things! And I'm being forced to think, grow, and solve problems in different way than I ever have before, and that's exciting. So today's episode is just a chat of some of the things I've been learning along the way...2024-03-1246 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way64. UnmovableWhat is the foundation for your faith? Can your faith be questioned, tried, and put to the test? Is your soul absolutely settled? If it's not, it can be! When I was 15, someone asked me why I believed what I did, and I didn't have a good answer. As a matter of fact, I had a bad answer. But that single moment launched me into a journey of seeking for Truth and a foundation that was unmovable. It transformed my entire life and has allowed me to weather the storms and still remain absolutely confident and steadfast in the promises...2024-03-111h 04The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way63. You DecideNo one is coming to build the life of our dreams for us. Nobody is coming to fix our problems and help us thrive - and nobody else can want the best life for us, we have to want it for ourselves. Join me in today's episode as I talk through challenges, unexpected hurdles, unwanted growth, and the wonderful opportunity we each have to decide to bring our big dreams to life.2024-03-1143 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way62.

My husband and I shared some of life's hard-earned lessons about what it means to simply exist, or to truly live in the fullness that we are created for. This is well worth your time, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it together.2024-03-112h 02The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way61. This Is Just Who I AmToday's episode is really transparent and personal with my struggle with pride - and how we have to make a decision to settle, or to call it out and recognize that we can grow, become more like Christ, and embrace the journey of becoming who God calls us to be with all its ups and downs. So listen in and my prayer is that it will be a blessing and encouragment!2024-03-1149 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way60. Speak TruthTruth isn't a popularity contest - as a matter of fact, it tends to cause a lot of division and hatred and retaliation. So many people stay quiet, avoid conflict, and try to keep from offending as many people as possible. The goal is to be liked instead of to be truthful. And that attitude is the attitude of decay. Today's episode is an intense look into the absolute Truth who is Jesus Himself and how He commands us to stand firmly, speak fearlessly, and love truth fully.2024-03-1137 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way59.

Stop Pursuing PerfectionI don't know about you, but it can be nerve-wracking to be fully myself - I'm quirky, goofy, and sometimes awkward. I don't always know what to do or say, and I want it to be just right, so I just freeze and don't do anything at all. Or I wait until I feel it's just right - but sometimes that's too late. We expect to be able to be all things to all people all the time, and it just seems impossible. Perhaps it's because we are even unknowingly pursuing the wrong thing. Join me today as we talk...2024-03-1152 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way57. The Greatest AdventureGod didn't create us for a dull, stressful, depressed existence. He is the greatest Author of all time and carefully and lovingly crafted a grand adventure for each one of us. He calls us to live in courage, peace, and joy in a world that is desperately short of all three. As we launch into this new year, let's do it with the spirit of fulfillment and purpose in a way that only children of God can!2024-03-1127 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way56.

Join me for today's simple lesson!2024-03-1131 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way55. Becoming a Great FollowerSometimes we fixate on leadership because it's relevant and trendy. And although leadership is absolutely important - great followership is equally as valuable and important and something we don't think about often. Today we'll pull a story from the life of Jesus that demonstrates what it takes to become a great follower, and we'll study why it's so important.2024-03-1136 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way54. What Do You Want Most?So often I meet people who are living with unfulfilled hopes and dreams, life happens, and we get stuck. But most of our stuck isn't caused by external circumstances - most of it is caused by our mindset and choices. Because what we want most is what we do and not what we say. Join me in today's conversation as I share some basic principles that will help us bring our actions and what we want most into alignment!2024-03-1145 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way53. HabitsHabits are the building blocks for our lives. They set our day-to-day rhythms and ultimately determine our direction. So to say that habits are important is an understatement. Today we're going to spend some time learning about how habits work, why our brain forms them, and how we can use them to our advantage in order to create the life we want to live. Join today as we jump right in to learning!2024-03-1144 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way52. Entering Into RestI don't know about you, but I struggle to rest - to be still, mentally calm, not stressed or worried. I'm constantly on the move and have things going on - but we are made for more than going from agitation to problem to challenge. We are built to rest - often and intentionally. And when we align ourselves to the blueprint God created us to live by, then the rest, worship, and blessings that follow will transform our life. I certainly don't have it all figured out, and I fail at it a lot, but God has invited us...2024-03-1145 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way51. A Champion's MindsetWhat is a champion and what makes them able to accomplish the incredible things that they do? Whether it's Muhammed Ali, the world's boxing champion, David defeating an indomitable giant named Goliath, or an Olympian that took the gold after 16 years, all of them have the same principles in common - principles that we can identify and apply to achieve our goals and dreams too. In today's episode, we'll dig into the 5 core characteristics that champions always exhibit and learn how to apply those tools.2024-03-1144 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way50.

So today we're going to learn about the training and equipment we can use to be Overcomers - we'll learn that although trauma is part of life, it doesn't have to be the story of our life. Listen in to today's episode and become an Overcomer!2024-03-1150 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way49. Self-DefenseWhat is your first response when someone attacks your character? Mine is to defend myself - to prove the other person wrong and restore my pride that's masquerading as honor. But God teaches us a different way. A way that is more impactful, holy, and will put things in a proper perspective. Today I'm simply sharing some real life struggles that God is using to try to teach me about keeping my focus in the right place and responding in the right ways - even when I don't feel like it.2024-03-1128 min
The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way48.

Stress ManagementAbsolute honesty - one of the most stressful parts of putting together a podcast is actually the episode description! I'm laughing at myself writing this but it's true. Today's episode is all about stress - because we really want to hear more about the thing that we all experience at an insane level in this time...But if we all experience it, how do we identify it, how do we get better at carrying it, and how do we build disciplines into our lives to respond to it from a Biblical perspective? Tune in to hear that and more as...2024-03-1155 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way46. SeasonsAre you ever exhausted, overwhelmed, depressed, or feel like you're just spinning your wheels? I do at times. But we aren't supposed to live like that. God teaches us that there are seasons and a time for everything. So how do we learn to recognize and enjoy each season emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and not just physically? Today we're having that conversation - how to recognize the drive our culture pushes for and builds our worth around, the unhealthy cycles we perpetuate, and how to clear space and understand, enjoy, and be fully present in the season God has us in...2024-03-1136 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way45. God Help UsThis week has brought fresh horror with the mass shooting in Texas. This nation is reeling under the weight of ever-increasing violence and the grief and havoc it brings. I'm not here to bring a political message or to solve it. We aren't big enough for that job - but God is. And He has been calling rebellious nations back to Himself since nearly the dawn of time. He's been picking up the broken pieces of our disobedience from a personal level to a national level. He's the only place we have left to turn - because our nation is...2024-03-1133 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way44. Toxic Love vs. True LoveWe dream of finding true love, we watch it on the movies where they go riding off into the sunset to live happily every after, we long for the person that we can do life with to build a family and a legacy with. But how can we tell the difference between toxic love and true love? What are the markers of strong, healthy relationships? How can we be aware of those things and apply them? In today's podcast we dig into all those questions and look at what the differences are between toxic love and true love and how...2024-03-1152 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way43. Who Are You Being?So often we tie our worth to our career, education, or the titles we carry. It's easy to feel like we're not worthy or valuable if we don't carry the titles that are most important to us. We don't see our mundane life as an incredible adventure in allowing God to use us wherever we're at. So how can we change that? How can we shift our understanding so that it aligns with what God says about us? So, the question isn't what do you do, or what is your title? The question is - who are you being? And...2024-03-1140 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way42. Who's Side Are You On?In today's episode we're wading right into the middle of the chaos that the leaked memo from the Supreme Court caused in suggesting that the Roe v. Wade abortion case could be overturned. It's creating meltdowns everywhere from Pastors who are pro-choice to women who have been deeply affected by abortions to politicians who are screaming about the fall elections. So - who's side are you on? The Right, the Left, not sure? Well today we're going to go straight to the Word of God - because the Life-Giver is going to have the best answers for this mess.2024-03-1143 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way41. The ProviderFrom Genesis to Revelation we learn of God. He has many names - but one of the most precious to me is Jehovah-Jireh: Provider. I look back at my life in awe of God's fingerprints in the smallest details. How he cares not just about the big things, but the little things - the quiet things that are precious to us that perhaps no human will ever know. God sees, knows, and cares for you more than you can possibly imagine.

Hope in the ValleyLife is filled with mountain and valley experiences. Mountaintop moments are wonderful and rejuvenating, they are victories won and dreams come true. Valleys are those overwhelming trials and hurts that come our way. Sometimes the valley seems to be too much to bear - the problem too big or the hurt too deep to overcome. But the Bible gives us the tools and training to get to the other side. This is more of a Bible study on three different valleys in the Word of God - what they picture, how they apply to our lives, and the eternal springing...2024-03-1135 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way38. BalanceJoin us this week for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Drew jumps in with me again today to share what we learned (mostly the hard way) about what balance is, what balance isn't, and how it's drastically helped us get our priorities in order. The Bible teaches us there is a time for everything, and we need to learn how to allocate that time in a way that brings glory to God, and along the way, it brings a lot of health and joy and focus to our lives!2024-03-111h 12The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way37. Communication and CourageRelationships are the foundation for our life. Our relationship with God, relationship with friends, spouses, and family. Strong relationships do not happen on accident - they happen through honesty and intentional, purposeful work. They happen through communication and courage. Join me today, and listen to my husband and I have an open, vulnerable conversation about what it takes to make it work. It's long, it's honest, and I truly believe it will bless and encourage you as you seek to build deep, true, meaningful relationships with the people God has put in your life.2024-03-111h 15The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way36. Trusting GodHow do we trust God when we can't hear Him, or feel Him? How can we trust God when we feel forsaken, or when we're going through the greatest trial of our lives? Let's dive into the Word of God to see what God promises, and then see whether or not He keeps those promises. We can trust God's best!2024-03-1139 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way35.

Especially when people let you down, disappoint you, break confidence, and betray you. Trust is hard when life gets crazy and you're not sure where to turn. It's even worse when it's not put in the right place - when you trust the wrong person and it goes terribly wrong. But the good news is, there's a place to turn. Where you are guaranteed that trust will not be broken. God has kept His every promise, and He still does to this day. In spite of incredible uncertainty in our world today, we can rest in the...2024-03-1131 minThe Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way33. ConfidenceWe live in a society where confidence is considered a virtue - confident people must be happy, healthy, rich, etc. But really, we don't live in a time where people have loads of confidence - we live in a time where people can portray loads of confidence on social media, but are afraid of relationships that aren't shallow for fear of being judged or disliked, or worst of all - maybe people will discover that we aren't perfect and we don't have it all together.
