Share Your Story: Where to Start and Why it's Important with Laura Tremaine | Episode 136 Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

Do you want to know why I love this podcast and you guys and this whole community?! It’s because we’re about real authentic connection. And I know “connection” is such a trendy word these days - it’s the word everyone’s using. But for real! How do you feel whenever you stop scrolling on Instagram? How do you feel when you get off the phone with a friend? And what are the differences between those two feelings? Today’s conversation is all about this: connection and sharing our story with today’s guest, Laura Tremaine. Laura wrote a book, “Share Your Stuff I’ll Go First: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level.” But this book is really part guidebook-part memoir of her own framework for cultivating intimate and authentic connections with others by sharing her stories.

Showing Up in the Small Places with Mack Brock | Episode 133 Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

If you’re feeling stuck, or that things don’t look according to plan, this episode is for you! Have you felt called to start something big or small or change directions? I’m so glad you’re here! We’re covering that in today’s episode with Mack Brock. Mack is a worship leader and singer walking through uncertainty, too, but his posture is inspiring to me and I wanted to share this perspective with you! He just released a new album, “SPACE".” This special live album was recorded during this year's pandemic at Brock's home base of Charlotte, NC surrounded by musicians, crew, and family that have walked through life with him and his wife, Meredith. SPACE is filled with songs that are reminders that Jesus always creates space for us - no matter our surroundings, past, season, faults, or failures. Mack and his wife Meredith recently walked through the foster care process and today, Mack shares his experience with us and some encouragement for any person or family considering the same.

Becoming the Best Version of You with Adrienne Camp | Episode 127 Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

What does that even mean: "the best version of you"? If you were to ask me, I'd say it's the version of me that has seen my faults and flaws and chooses to turn away and choose joy and grace and other fruits. It might mean something completely different to you! But, we can all agree that it's the version of us that feels free, that is constantly learning and growing, that feels like the "best version." Today, Adrienne Camp joins us for a girl talk to chat through all of the things she's learning and growing through in life. Her journey of becoming the best version of herself has been inspiring and encouraging to me. The way she lives life on display, laughing at her mistakes, owning her identity in Christ, and honoring the people around her - you'll hear about it all! You may have heard me talk about the movie "I Still Believe" which highlights a few moments of Adrienne's husband, Jeremy's, life. If you haven't watched this movie, add it to the list! The Camp family has also been up to a lot of other creating and crafting this past year and she shares all about it in today's episode!
