Two Things Every Woman Needs to Know About Mentoring | DD 100 Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

This is the 100th episode of the Dear Daughters Podcast recorded live just last week in Springdale, Arkansas. First I have to say that I'm blown away and entirely grateful to God for his ever present help on this journey. From the very start of this show, my end goal was to encourage you with helpful, practical advice on how to live a godly life. And I have to say, every guest on this show has brought so much wisdom to that conversation.

It only seems fitting that the 100th episode takes place in my dear friend, Amy Hannon's kitchen at Euna Mae's because that's where my passion for mentoring started – in my kitchen. I loved making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for my children and their friends. I loved asking them questions and hearing about their lives and their thoughts about God. Mentoring for me was organic. It started in my home with my own children – and then it extended to their friends. Isn't it beautiful the way God develops ministry out of home and overflow?

When I gathered with the women at Euna Mae's, I told them two very important things about mentoring. This is what I said.

No matter your age, these two things are true:

You are a dear daughter.
You need a spiritual mother.

Every one is a dearly loved daughter of God. And every daughter deserves a spiritual mama. (And the world needs more spiritual mamas!) I hope this episode will inspire you, no matter where you are in your journey with God, to seek out a mentor and to be a mentor.

Thank you for listening in, for encouraging me with your kind ratings and reviews. And now, here we go! The 100th episode of the Dear Daughters Podcast!

Be sure to check out my book, Dear Daughters: Love Letters to the Next Generation

Dear Daughters is a template for those multi-generational conversations and relationships you're craving.

Dear Daughters is meant to be a bridge between two groups of women–dear daughters and spiritual mamas. Dear daughters are young women in search of spiritual guidance and spiritual mamas are women just a little further down the road with age-old wisdom to share. Each group has valuable insight for the other and the hope is that the reader will invite someone to come alongside them, pore over the included letters together, and pass along wisdom and advice that will make both lives more beautiful, wherever they are in their God story.This book, ideal for a gift, is a casebound hardcover with ribbon.

Finally … grateful, grateful for Davis sharing her music for the DD Podcast. :)

Do you long to create a home that offers both beauty and comfort? A space that offers both respite and connection?

Meet my new friend, Kennesha Buycks. She is the creator of Restoration House, a home and lifestyle brand/blog that focuses on creating spaces that go beyond merely the aesthetic and focus on creating soulful, restorative aspects of home.

Dad and Daughter Conversation | Bob Gerrie | DD 98 Jun 12, 2019

Show notes

Meet my dad, Bob Gerrie. He is an inspiration to all who come in contact with him. People often joke about 'getting Bob-ed' by his enthusiastic, warm welcome.

In celebration of Father's Day, I asked my dad to come on the podcast this week. We talk about family legacy, about what real wealth means to him, oh and of course we cry all the tears! I'm so deeply grateful to have a father like Bob Gerrie.

I know you'll be inspired. Here's my dad!

Breaking the Cycle of Insecurity | Chrystal Evans Hurst | DD 96 May 22, 2019

Show notes

Do you wonder feel anxious or worried about what you should be doing with your life?

Well, good news ahead. My conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst is packed with truth about how to stop the cycle of insecure and unhealthy thoughts. Chrystal is an author, encourager, and a deep well of wisdom. In her book, She's Still There: Rescuing the Girl in You, she holds your hand and cheers you on to end the cycle of toxic thoughts and actions in your life. Our conversation was incredibly impactful and helpful in remembering to bring our thoughts into the light of God's truth.

Chrystal is a wife of 18 years, a homeschooling mother of 5, and a grandmother of 2. OH JOY! Her desire is to teach others to love God, love others, and to love themselves.

We need more women in the world like Chrystal. I'm encouraged by how she is living her life in a way that is honoring to God and how she is encouraging so many women beside her to do the same.

How Memories Impact Your Spiritual Life | Casey Tygrett| DD 95 May 15, 2019

Show notes

Who am I? What am I about?

If you have ever asked yourself those kinds of questions, then you likely have also had to look back at your story. Author and spiritual director, Casey Tygrett, says that remembering your past is often one of the most courageous things you can do. He spent the past few years researching and unpacking the idea that we are who we are, because of our memories. And his newest book, As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life, speaks to these questions and more.

Casey serves as Theologian in Residence at Parkview Christian Church near Chicago, Illinois. He and his wife, Holley, have been married for 18 years and have one daughter, Bailey.

I'm deeply grateful for the work that Casey is doing. We talk about letting God redeem our past, for the good of our present. It's something that has impacted my life, and I'm sure will impact yours too.

Casey is amazing, listen in!

On Prayer & Renewed Joy | Val Woerner | DD 94 May 08, 2019

Show notes

If love helpful books and beautiful journals, you'll love meeting Valerie Woerner, the owner of Val Marie Paper and author of Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday. Her mission is to create practical tools, including her original 6-month prompted prayer journal, and content that equips women to cut through the noise of everyday life and find fullness in the presence of the Lord.

She lives in South Louisiana with her husband Tyler and two girls, Vivi and Vana. And guess who lives on the same block? Her grandpa and her twin sister! Val's the nicest kinda girl that makes you want to move on the block with her.

I'm also especially appreciative of her passion for prayer. We talk about that quite a bit. I hope the resources she's created help you pull in closer to God.

Val is lovely, her she is!

Coffee & Conversation with Pam Tebow | DD 93 May 01, 2019

Show notes

Mother's Day is just around the corner so this week on the podcast, I'm featuring another mother that you'll love getting to know. This spiritual mama travels and speaks across the country, encouraging women to use the incredible influence God has given them to eternally impact their world.

She has appeared on Good Morning America and has won national awards for her ministry work. She and her husband, Bob, live in Florida; they have five grown children (one of whom is literally known worldwide) and eight grandchildren.

Today, I'm talking with Pam Tebow. She's an amazing and inspiring women. She's the kind of spiritual mama that will make you want to be a better wife, mother and human. For most of her life, she served quietly and faithfully as a wife and a mom but now, because of her Heisman Trophy winning son, Tim - people know her everywhere.

Pam has written a new book, Ripple Effects which is about discovering the power of a woman's influence. Her story will help you remember that you have influence. Lots of it, right there where you sit. And that's true whether you're holding a baby or sitting in a cubicle at work. You can inspire those in your sphere of influence by doing the small faithful things. Pam's life is proof of that …

So here is her interview, in a special format I'm calling Dear Daughters Coffee and Conversation that was recorded right here in my home, with a handful of wide-eyed listeners, just like me.

Show notes

Want to know how to raise healthy teenagers?

Well, we're gonna dive into the answer to that question and more. Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, I'm going to be talking with several moms I admire and unpack what it looks like to be a spiritually healthy mom raising spiritually healthy kids.

Today I'm talking with friend, neighbor and fellow author, Kristin Schell, who happens to be the mother of several teenagers. You might remember her as the founder of The Turquoise Table movement which is a ministry designed to help you reach out and love your neighbor.

But she's also the mother of 4 kiddos. Her son, their oldest, is finishing his freshman year in college. And the other three, her daughters, are in that middle school to high school phase.

Here's my friend Kristin!
