113. Aging in Wisdom with Maryanne Challies Helms Oct 01, 2024

If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow.

This topic is coming at such an amazing time for me. I'm turning 35 this year, and our season has very much shifted. We went from being the youngest wherever we went to now moms with just toddlers asking me what it was like parenting for me when my kids were "little." I feel like I had come to terms with that, but I still very much feel myself freaking out.

What encouragement would you have for me or women my age? When you look in the mirror... not how have you changed, but rather how has the way you've seen yourself changed over the years?

What have your 40s revealed about what is important? How does it reveal who we are becoming when things we once defined ourselves by are stripped away?

I think many people fear the way their marriage will shift as they get older. How have you seen marriage change as you and your husband have aged?

Names of God MINI: Can Jehovah Rapha Heal You Sep 26, 2024

It’s easy to limit how we think of God’s healing power. We jump to physical healing and provision. But The Bible shows us times when God healed physically (2 Kings 5:10), emotionally (Psalm 34:18), mentally (Daniel 4:34), and spiritually (Psalm 103:2–3). Jesus reinforces the idea of holistic healing by doing the same during his ministry.

112. What Happens to Faith When Dreams Die? with Tara Sun Sep 24, 2024

It’s easy to think if we just work hard enough we can get anything we want. The messages of manifesting tell us that if we can dream it we can do it, we just have to want it badly enough. Tara sounds a lot like me when she self-describes as a “control freak." She was chasing her dreams until one day she heard the voice of God saying “You aren’t supposed to be here.” That changed her life.

What happened after God spoke to you? What did you do next?

How does the “girl boss” movement affect Christian women? Have you found yourself tempted toward limitlessness?

What have you lost when you don’t slow down? Have you seen this in the lives of others?

How have you seen God guide people to move forward, and also to stop? Does this depend on the season?

We are told to be “strong independent women.” What does independence get us, and what does it lose us?

How have you grown to know God better by leaning on him?

Names of God MINI: How Do You Reflect Elohim's Creativity Sep 19, 2024

It also means you are designed to reflect a creative God! When you work and create you’re living out your design. Your work, creation, and worship are all tied together. The daily dishes and sweeping after meals are the work of creating order. If we choose not to rush through our days with scrolls and swipes, then what we do is a reflection of God’s creation of order and is a form of worship.

111. The Bible Is Not About You But Will Transform You with Nancy Guthrie Sep 17, 2024

I've briefly mentioned before that I had a crisis of faith soon after I had my first baby. I long story short, I threw away my Bible because learning who Jesus really was felt too overwhelming. A few months later God brought Nancy's "Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament" series to my attention. I used that to re-learn what I believed the Bible taught. At the time I wished she had some New Testament resources too. Since then she has written resources on Revelation and now Acts!

What ignited Nancy's passion for going deeper into the Bible

The whole Bible as the story of Jesus

How themes influence the way we read the Bible.

What stands out in Acts

You can find these resources by Nancy Guthrie:

"Saved" a Bible study on Acts, or

I hope understanding where this name comes from combined with this verse reminds you that you don’t have to sin or pull strings in order to have your needs met by God. He is a shelter for you. As you live in trust that God keeps his promises you live in the nearness of God. According to this verse, you will be close enough to be in his shadow.

110. Is Community Worth it? with Dillon Byrd Sep 10, 2024

Living in community with other believers is mentioned in scripture to help us grow in our faith. But culturally we are moving away from it are we losing anything?

Why are you so passionate about community that you've chosen to encourage people toward that for so many years?

What benefits do believers get from living in a community?

What does it look like to live in a community?

Does it have to be local, or can people do it online?

What do we lose if we don't have an in-person faith community?

What if I can't find a church or discipleship group that aligns with what I believe?

Names of God MINI: How to Find Hope in Adonai Sep 05, 2024

Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

109. Jesus Centered Parenting in Peace with Flourishing Homes and Families Sep 03, 2024

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear.

Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you?

How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus?

You talk about framing the concept of obedience in trust. How does that change the way we view our children's behavior and our reaction to their behavior?

What do we do with the guilt when we don't respond in an ideal way?

It’s easy to let our mental growth go on pause. Some of us who loved reading in high school go for years without reading a book.

105. Find Calm For Your Soul Even in Stress with Megan Fate Marshman Aug 06, 2024

We try to DO a lot in life. We live in a culture that finds pride in being "busy." This trickles into our spiritual lives also. Often we don't see the rub until something comes along and knocks our feet out from under us. These end up being acts of grace where we truly understand Jesus' completed work for us.

Do you tend to be relaxed or more anxious and tempted by hustle culture?

What has Jesus' example in earthly ministry taught you about priorities for our earthly life? You lost someone at a young age, how did that change your perspective and priorities?

One of the greatest counterfeits to living like Jesus is trying to be like him without him.

104. Demystify Studying the Bible in Context with Kristie Anyabwile Jul 30, 2024

We know that technically all Scripture is profitable, but it seems like some of it is more helpful than others. In Bible studies, we discuss what our favorite book of the Bible is and just sayin' Ezra and Numbers has never come up. Kristie is here to talk us into taking a peek into and fall in love with some of these more obscure Old Testament books.

How do we answer the question "What's your favorite book of the Bible?"

Why do you think we are automatically attracted to some books of the Bible and not others?

Why do you think people believe the books that fall within the law genre are difficult to understand?
Why do we need to understand the Old Testament in order to understand the New Testament? What richness do we risk not getting if we don't read the Old Testament?

How do we lead others into loving the Old Testament?

101. When You Want to Quit Motherhood with Sharon Jaynes Jul 09, 2024

Many are living out the dream of adult life we had as children. Then some days stressor after stressor keeps piling on, until we wondered why this is something we ever even asked for. It can feel especially guilt-inducing when it involves being a parent to our children.

The feelings come up with the wish that we could quit motherhood. How do we give ourselves a time-out?

Quitting isn't really an option in motherhood, so what do we do after we've had that outburst, or even secret desire to quit? How does time with Jesus help?

What do we do with our guilt? How does social media contribute to comparison with mothers.

Seeing our struggle in motherhood as spiritual warfare that comes from doing deeply valuable work.

Fear of missing out is real and if we are honest it doesn't just affect teenagers. Many of us struggle with comparison and feel that everyone must be happier than we are. I related a lot to swirling thoughts keeping you awake. You've said FOMO is one of the main things that kept you awake at night! When did you first become aware of that tendency?

99. How We Show Kids They Are Valuable with Caroline Saunders Jun 25, 2024

Throughout history, we've been tempted to think of children as less than adults, but when Jesus came he turned that ideology on its head with his teaching. Jesus radically declared "Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them." Today my guest and I are going to talk about what full inclusion for kids looks like in the body of Christ!

Where do we first see the idea of all human life being valuable to God?

Can you talk about some Old Testament examples of God using children, even though they would have been considered "lesser citizens?"

Why does Jesus' invitation to children matter?

How do we show our kids how valuable they are to the church, family, and kingdom?

How do we value the kids in our communities, and encourage our community to do the same?

MINI: How Do I Read the Bible When Life is Chaos? Revelation 1:3 Feb 22, 2024

The goal of our reading isn’t to “get through,” but to remember and apply. If reading God’s word isn’t bringing delight, blessing, and transformation, then maybe we have found our value in making it a competition to do the most, or on the other side maybe it’s become something unnecessary to our existence. His word doesn’t return void, so read what you have brain retention for, and be formed by him.

81. Wrestling with Elisabeth Elliot's Legacy with Ellen Vaughn Feb 20, 2024

Elisabeth Elliot’s voice was a fixture voice for thousands of living rooms through her 13-year daily radio show. After her husband Jim Elliot was killed on the mission field her best-selling book was the inspiration for the faith of three generations.

She was a prolific author and one of the few prominent female voices of the church of her time. She was a purity culture and traditional gender roles icon for thousands of women. Her words, and expressed views at that time have been polarizing for many Christians. I’ve since learned her true story was more complex than any of us knew.

You can buy Ellen's linked books "Becoming Elisabeth Elliot" and "Being Elisabeth Elliot" or find Ellen Vaughn on Instagram.

80. Training Refrains for Young Hearts with Abbey Wedgeworth Feb 13, 2024

Our kids do something wrong and we respond in anger or start monologing. Abbey walks us through what it looks like to plan ahead for the struggles our kids encounter. Having just one phrase that we use every time protects us from responding in ways we regret, and helps defuse the situation.

Take to your community:

Hey, can we more toward complimenting the work God is doing in our kids rather than "Good job" or "You're so cute"?

72. How to Study the Bible Without a Bible Study with Felicity Carswell Oct 17, 2023

If you're like me you've read the Bible and you've done Bible studies, but you wonder how people take notes and study the Bible without any direction.

Today Felicity walks me through how she has learned to study the Bible. For reference, I'm going to include the notes I took during this conversation. These are now written in the back of my Bible to help guide me through future studies.

"What is happening?" Take the time to jot an outline as you go to help you slow down and focus on each piece.

Pick out repeated words

"How does this tie to the Old Testament?"

"What makes me uncomfortable?"

Homeschool questions that Elizabeth uses with her kids but realized would help with Bible study.

I notice...
I wonder...
That reminds me of...

"What is the 'so what' for my life?"

"What is the 'so what' for an unbeliever?"

56. Why we Need to Teach Kids the WHOLE Bible! interviewed by Kaytra Sundem Jun 13, 2023

Today I'm interviewed by my friend Kaytra. We chat about how I got involved in children's ministry, and how the way I see teaching kids about God has changed over the years. My goal then was to get them "saved". My goal now is to know the Bible, because to know Jesus is to fall in love with Him!

How to Find Joy in Your Child's Education with Leah Boden Jan 10, 2023

Do you ever feel like there are all these things you "should be doing" for your kids? Maybe it's the way they are learning, maybe experiences you wish they could have. Today Leah and I talk about peace in motherhood, and what it looks like to let go and trust that your child will learn. She has spent years teaching her kid's in a "Charlotte Mason" approach, and now coaching parents. But maybe you don't homeschool, or you don't know who "Charlotte Mason it. Words like "homeschool" "Child-led education", and "spreading a feast" on Instagram confuse you! Don't be intimidated Leah gently walks us through!

The things she says are so such soothing balm to a mother's heart that I cried. I hope they bring you as much comfort as they did to me!

EXCLUSIVE: Overcoming Mom Guilt with the Humility of Christ with Kristen Wetherell Oct 11, 2022

MINI: 25 Freezer Meals in 3 Hours Aug 14, 2022

I just made 25 freezer meals in 3 hours. I was going to write out all the directions, but I was too tired, so this is the phone call "how to" version. I'm sure in the future there will be more of these because talking things out is easier than trying to write and edit a blog post. Also, let's be honest no one wants to hear another person's life story before they get to a recipe!
