Making an Eternal Impact: Use Every Opportunity to Point to God Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

God gives us opportunity to point to Him, to be part of what He’s doing in the world. Let’s lean in and act on those opportunities, those nudges on our hearts - and in turn, make an eternal impact.

In today's episode of She Lives Purposefully, I'm sharing two simple stories from motherhood that deeply encouraged my own faith.

This episode is an encouragement to listen when the Holy Spirit nudges you, to plant seeds of faith wherever God has placed you, and to remember that making an eternal impact often begins in ordinary, everyday conversations.

Whether your mission field is motherhood, your workplace, your friendships, or your community, God has given you opportunities to point people to Him.

Scriptures Mentioned:

1 Corinthians 3:6–7 — We plant and water, but God gives the growth.
Matthew 9:37 — "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."

Doubting God hears (or cares about) your prayer? (SPOLER: HE does) Jul 16, 2026

Show notes

Is there a prayer you've stopped praying because you assumed God wasn't listening?

Today, I share a story as a Christian mom of answered prayer with my toddler - a small, silly prayer answered almost immediately TWICE in a row.

That small moment became a bigger conversation: God hears you.

It also showed me lies that I was believing about prayer, even as a Bible believing, Christian woman.

We dive into this mini testimony AND Scripture that tells us that God hears, He is near, and He answers, even if not always how we expect.

God Doesn't Need You Qualified — He Needs You Willing Jul 09, 2026

Feeling Unqualified for What God Calls You To? What Moses’s Story Teaches Us

Ever caught yourself thinking, "God, why choose me? She's more qualified. She's been walking with You longer. She has the platform, the gifts, the put-together life — not me."

Today we're sitting with Moses in Exodus 3-4, where he asked God that exact question... and God's answer wasn't a list of Moses' qualifications. It was Himself.

Scripture Referenced

Exodus 3:11-12
Exodus 4:10-17
Ephesians 1:4
1 Peter 2:9
John 15:16

Stop Jogging Through Your Faith: Run on Purpose with Intention, Discipline & Living Fully for Jesus Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

You love Jesus—but if you're honest, it can be easy to coast. Maybe you've got the intention but not the follow-through. Maybe you're following through, but your heart's off: it's for the checklist, the self-promotion, the feeling instead of for Him. In this episode, we're sitting in 1 Corinthians and asking the uncomfortable-but-good question: Am I running this race to obtain the prize, or just living the Christian life aimlessly?

Paul says runners run to get the prize, so run in a way that wins it and a couple chapters later, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

I share the simple rhythm my husband and I started and the honest self-examination that followed: Am I running with intention, discipline, and determination —or lackadaisically, only when it's convenient, or worse, for myself?

We talk about where "running to win" actually shows up in ordinary life.

Stop Just Getting Through It: Finding Purpose & Joy RIGHT Where God Has You Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Are you in a season where you're just trying to GET through it to the next thing? Maybe you're waiting until your kids are older, until you hit a goal, until life feels more fulfilling — and THEN you'll really show up for God.

I get real about a heart check I had in motherhood — realizing I was running on empty, living out of overwhelm and exhaustion instead of purpose and joy. I share what shifted everything and how recognizing that where God has placed you right now is intentional can completely transform your everyday.

In this episode:

Why we fall into "I'll live more purposefully when…" thinking (in motherhood, relationships, goals & faith)
My honest moment with the Fruit of the Spirit — and what I realized wasn't showing up in my life
How gratitude became a game-changer (+ the Scriptures that back it up)
Why the mundane moments — tantrums, 2am nursing, emails — are purposeful places for God to grow and use you
The calling we have RIGHT NOW: to love, serve, and walk with God wherever He has us

Scriptures referenced: Galatians 5 (Fruit of the Spirit), Colossians 3:17, Colossians 3:23, Matthew 22:37, Romans 14:8, Philippians 2:3-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 100:4, Ephesians 5:20, Philippians 4:6

Acting on God's Voice Matters: Don't Miss Out May 21, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever felt God pressing something on your heart and wondered, is that really Him? Do I need to step into what He’s speaking to me about? In this honest, conviction-filled episode, we're talking about the still small voice of God — what He's been whispering to me lately and why acting on those promptings matters more than we realize.

Friend, this one is personal. Lately God has been pressing some things on my heart, and instead of brushing past them, I want to share what He's been showing me — and why I think listening to Him is so important in our lives.

In this episode, I'm getting real about three areas He's been stirring in me:

How much I'm actually seeking Him (not just squeezing Him in)
Whether I'm truly pointing my kids to Jesus — and exemplifying Him in our home
Living less out of lack and more out of joyful intention

In this episode:

What God has been pressing on my heart lately (and the messy honesty of discerning His voice)
2 reasons acting on God's promptings matters
The ask, listen, obey rhythm
Being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer
A personal confession about where I want to grow

Episode Outline:

03:30 What God’s been speaking to me about in my own life

07:10 Two reasons that it is so important to listen to God’s voice

11:30 Exhortation: Don’t miss out on what God has for you

12:30 When you’re not sure “Is this from God?”

Show notes

She’s here! In this episode of She Lives Purposefully, I'm sitting down with my husband to recap baby #2's birth story, share how postpartum has been so different this time around, and open up about what God has been pressing on my heart in this season.

We talk a lot about our experience going from one kid to two and how we got here. Then we'll get into the convictions God has been putting on our hearts lately: from less secular music (and more Christian music we’ve filling my home with), to becoming a mama who points my kids to Jesus (which has to start with me), to being a better friend, and learning to actually listen when God presses something on my heart.

Going from 0–1 vs. 1–2 kids
How postpartum has felt this time around
