How To Find Your True Calling with Paula Faris May 01, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever felt confused by the word 'calling?' Maybe you've always believed calling and career are the same thing; I know I've definitely struggled with that. When we signed our record deal and started touring like crazy, I found myself attaching my value to my job, and that led me down a road of rediscovering who I really am, apart from 'Jodi the singer.'

This week's podcast episode features Paula Faris, former ABC anchor and co-host of The View, who left her two dream jobs to pursue a path God was leading her down. Her new book, "Called Out," is all about her personal journey to figure out who she was apart from her dream jobs by separating her calling into two parts: a vocational and a faith calling. If you've ever struggled with achieving & where your worth comes from, this episode will bring freedom to your life!

Quaran-Tea with Elle Limebear Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Hi guys!

How is everyone quarantining? We've never been home this much in our lives, so it's definitely been a challenge trying to parent full-time and accomplish the things that we need to as a band. Everyday is a juggling act, am I right? Some days flow, others flop, but we are learning a lot about about God and ourselves along the way. We talk all about it in this week's podcast episode, so I won't give it all away now! You can listen here:

Chris and I talk about how our quarantine is going and we also chatted with artist/worship leader Elle Limebear all the way from her home in Brighton, UK about how this season at home has been for her. She is the daughter of Delirious? frontman Martin Smith, a newlywed and a youth leader as well as being an amazing artist. Elle released a new album in February, and now she's home off of the road with a truck load of them so make sure and support her and download her album "Lost in Wonder" here (G can you include LINK?).

And hey, If you need more amazing content to help you through this quarantine, check out Tanner Hobb's podcast, ⁠Chasing Freedom Show⁠Podcasts, I know you will love her as much as I do!

Thanks for all your support, we couldn't do this without you!

We Launched A Book Kickstarter! Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

So...I wrote a book! It's a devotional book called "You Got This - A Guide To Ditching Perfect & Showing Up For Your Real Life." I've been working on it for the past couple of years, and actually you guys gave me the guts to go for it!! Every time I posted a Motivational Monday video or verse of the day, you encouraged me to do more. So, I'm doing more!

The idea for this book really solidified when I became a mom, and continued to be an artist, and tour with my family all at the same time. I had a moment backstage when I was nursing Ziggy and trying to fit into my skinny jeans and I was just falling apart from the pressure of trying to be perfect. Ever been there? Holy Spirit whispered to me, "You don't have to have it all together, because I'm holding you together." From that moment on, I've made it my mission to let others know that being strong is just obediently showing up and letting God use you. That's what every page of this book is about, and I need your help to bring this dream to life.

I had no idea what a financial undertaking this would be, as Chris and I decided to do this on our own (yikes!). By the time we paid all the legal, printing, design, and shipping fees, we're looking at $10,000! This is a huge step of faith for us, and at a really crazy period in history. I was feeling really discouraged about this timing, until God reminded me that this is a season when everyone needs a little extra hope and encouragement, so maybe it's the PERFECT time.

We've come up with some amazing packages to say THANK YOU for helping me make this book a reality. To everyone who pledges a dollar or more, we want to give you a new song for free! One of the coolest packages includes your name on the THANK YOU page of the book! How cool is that?! All the packages are listed at (link) and every little bit helps! I cannot wait to get a signed copy of this devotional book into your hands! Thanks for helping my dream come true, I hope this book helps you go after yours!

What It Really Means To Hear God Speak Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever had a friend or pastor say "God told me…" or "I heard Holy Spirit say…" and wondered what they actually meant by that? I know I have! I remember being a teenager and wanting that same clarity and conviction, especially when it came to big decisions. I was (and still am) so scared of messing things up. Now I'm a mom and I depend on Holy Spirit's voice to guide me through every moment of my day and often find myself saying "I really don't know what to do right how" and pausing for His response.

I thought it might be helpful to explain what listening and responding to God actually looks like in my life. I'm no expert on this, but I've definitely had to depend on a voice beyond my own many times for small and big decisions, and through walking in relationship with Holy Spirit for a few years now I'm excited to share what I've learned. I hope it's helpful in your daily journey with the Lord!

What I Wish I'd Known About Feeling 'Stuck' Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

I felt so stuck last year, and I was arguing with God about it - "You made me a go-getter and gave me these big dreams, why am I sitting at a standstill?" Ever felt that way? Turns out asking God questions is a really good thing to do…because He answers! Holy Spirit whispered back, "even when you feel stuck, I'm still moving." Wow. This revelation shifted my perspective completely. What if we lived like God is always up to something and we aren't stuck, just on pause for His perspective? What if we learned how to live with a heaven mindset instead of a human mindset, knowing that whatever we're dealing with is an opportunity to know God in a new way? In this episode, I share my journey from feeling stuck to being free, and the tools that got me there and help me stay in that place of freedom. 'Cause let's be honest, this all sounds good but living this out in the everyday moments is when it gets real!!

The Secret Tool To Improve Your Marriage Today with Beth McCord Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you and your partner can't get on the same page? You're trying to love each other well but for some reason you're just not speaking the same language? Chris and I definitely went through this when we became a band and started a family in the same calendar year! Or maybe you're in a single season and you're realizing that you have some unhealthy motivations that are exposed when you're stressed out and busy - I've also been there!! We all have a core longing that only Christ can fill - but when we try and fill it by ourselves, or expect our spouse, career or kids to do it, things get really out of balance! The Enneagram is an amazing tool that when partnered with the gospel can help us become the healthiest versions of ourselves. It's not a replacement for the gospel, but a tool that helps us work towards wholeness in Christ. Tune into this week's podcast episode with Beth McCord, aka @yourenneagramcoach, as she shares her early marriage struggles and mom life/career journey and how the Enneagram gave language that helped her and her husband thrive. She will help you stop committing "assumicide" about each other's motives, and defuse conflict before it starts. Beth & Jeff McCord's latest book "Becoming Us" is available here https://www.yourenneagramcoach.com/becomingus
