Where's My Frickin' Blessin'?! Jun 28, 2017

Show notes

We have been put here for a reason, for a purpose - and trust - there is more than enough to go around! Just because we perceive someone has it better doesn’t mean they do - and it doesn't mean we don't have enough. Many rich “successful” people are miserable and lonely. The grass my be less stressful in some areas, but it isn’t greener. If we're faithful and joyful and seek God with all our heart and if we actually SHOW UP and do the work, our time will come and in the end, the suffering and "living without" will all make sense. Until then, can we rejoice with what we have?
Also, Susannah recently discovered there was an actual hate group created just to talk crap about her. Her response to the hate is perfect.
Join us as we focus on Ecclesiastes 4:4 (Amplified)
Then I saw that all painful effort in labor and all skill in work comes form man's rivalry with his neighbor. This is also vanity, a vain striving after the wine and a feeding a on it.

Expect to Get Way More than You Can Handle Jun 22, 2017

Show notes

Anna's neighborhood was hit by a tornado and it pushes her to the limit (actually, the tornado was bad, but sharing a studio hotel room with her two small children is was did her in). God never says we won't get more than we can handle in this life, but he does promise to give us the strength and patience to survive all temptations and trial. This week we focus on 1 Corinthians 10:13:
No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].

Don't You Give Up! (Nah, Nah, Nah) Jun 14, 2017

Show notes

Don't you dare give up! Anna and Susannah talk about the temptations of giving up and how to combat it and take the challenges of moving forward head on. Often times when we're close to seeing progress or capturing what we've been trying to acheive, we'll be met with a lot of resistance. This is the most tempting time to quit, but it is the worst time to quit! (Also relevant: when you should give up.)
This week we focus on Galatians 6:9: And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Be Consumed with This (Hint: It ain't Kanye) Jun 07, 2017

Show notes

We're just passing through our own little nuggets of time on earth. Think about that for a second. This life is SHORT. It's extremely easy to become obsessed with things of zero value and meaning. This obsession can in turn strip us from happy lives and take our time and our money. Just ask Anna who refuses to admit binging on Mariah Carey's new reality show. Don't let the world consume you, be consumed with God and His love!
This week we look at 1 John 2:15: Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Naughty By Nature: the dreaded humble brag and the true meaning of generosity May 31, 2017

Show notes

Anna's "renewed" spirit has been tested daily by her toddler, Susannah discusses the dreaded humble brag and the duo talk about God's real expectations of generosity. Follow along this week as we focus on Matthew 6:2-4 The Message -
2-4 “When you do something for someone else, don’t call attention to yourself. You’ve seen them in action, I’m sure—‘playactors’ I call them—treating prayer meeting and street corner alike as a stage, acting compassionate as long as someone is watching, playing to the crowds. They get applause, true, but that’s all they get. When you help someone out, don’t think about how it looks. Just do it—quietly and unobtrusively. That is the way your God, who conceived you in love, working behind the scenes, helps you out.
In the show, Anna talks about her new pregnancy Facebook group, The Pregnancy Chronicankles: A Hilarious Pregnancy Group. If you're pregnant or know someone who is, come join us here!

Get one. Then, be one. May 10, 2017

Show notes

The power of women helping women through mentorship and friendship can't be overstated, but it can go wrong. Or at the very least, get weird. Mentor other women, as others have mentored you, but remember to go to the throne, not the phone. We focus on a few verses on mentorship, discipleship and wisdom: Ruth 1:16 "Where you go, I'll go. Where you stay, I'll stay" - to Naomi, her life coach and mentor. In Titus 2:4 Paul tells the older women to train the younger women and in Proverbs 19:20 "Listen to advice and accept instruction and in the end you will be wise."

When Crap Hits the Fan, Consider Yourself ... Lucky? May 03, 2017

Show notes

Susannah embarrasses herself on local TV and Anna embarrasses herself at an office party. Pretty much par for the course. Then the duo dives in to James 1:2-8. Are obstacles disguised blessings? What do we do when we don't know what to do? Plus, they discuss how easy it is to flee from our own lives, miss the present moment and seek comfort and distraction in everything - but God. And why this backfires, sometimes in big ways.

Show notes

Anna is getting tested at all angles and the verses over the past few weeks have never been so prevalent in her life.
