Who is Praying for You? (With Shireen and Micah Eldridge) - Build Your Board Series Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Y'all. Get ready for an amazing note-taking episode! Micah and Shireen Eldridge are two of my favorite pastors who are trusted, faithful friends of mine that I know are praying on my behalf. And as we talk about who might be missing on your board, it maybe a person (or people) who you know are consistently praying for you and want to know when there’s something going on in your life that they can be praying about. We’re going to talk today about what that looks like and why it all matters.

Be sure to stick around here tomorrow on TSF for a special 10 minute bonus conversation with Micah and Shireen as they answer the question, "What if I want my pastor to be on my board?" It's going to be another good one!

Episode 497: Seth & Amber Haines About Their Journey With The Deep Down Things Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

This is one of those conversations that will meet you right where you are no matter what you’re walking through and is an invitation to think truly and critically and kindly about your own story and your own faith. Today's conversation with Seth and Amber Haines fits right in as we're thinking about the voices in our lives, our spiritual growth, and our spiritual leaders. We talked about participating in hope even when you don't feel it, how to disciple kids in the midst of pain caused by the church, and why Catholicism was the next right thing for the Haines family. Seth and Amber's book The Deep Down Things is absolutely beautiful! It made me laugh and cry and ALL THE THINGS! I'm so thankful for the Haines and their honesty about their journey of faith.

Whose Board Are You On? (With Becca and Harley) - Build Your Board Series Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

In our last Build Your Board episode, you got to hear from my mentor, Nancy, who disciples me, and today you get to hear from Becca, who I disciple and Harley who Becca disciples. It’s like this little family line of discipleship! Here’s why we wanted to do this… so many of you guys talk to me about wanting these kinds of relationships in your life, but aren’t sure where to start or what to do. We thought it’d be fun to bring on both Becca and Harley, so we can talk about what discipleship practically looks like for all of us. As followers of Jesus, we all have a calling to go and make disciples, so we’re going to break down what that looks like for me and Becca and Harley. I feel so honored to be in this stack of women and am grateful for each of them!

Episode 496: Micah E. Davis on Living a Life of Integrity Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Y'all KNOW we love a Friday show around here!! Having my dear friend, Micah E. Davis, here talking about being a part of a city you love, serving at your local church, and navigating wounds and scars when it comes to church and family, really means the world. Talking about the next generation and celebrating their bold faith is one of the things I love to do the most! I am so thankful for my friends like Micah who are living a life of obedience to what God has called them to do. Make sure you grab a copy of Micah's book Trailblazers (and get all those pre-order bonuses!!) - I think you're really going to love it.

Show notes

Y'all have been asking me about my mentor, Nancy, for YEARS and I am beyond excited to get to share her voice with you all. As we continue our Build Your Board Series today with Nancy, we get to talk about what exactly mentorship looks like, what to look for in a mentor, and the difference between mentorship and discipleship. Nancy is the ACTUAL best and I can't wait for you all to get a glimpse of the wisdom I'm honored to receive from this spiritual mother of mine.

What’s the Deal with Counseling? (With Melanie Rogers) - Build Your Board Series Oct 09, 2023

Show notes

We're continuing our Build Your Board Series with today's episode all about counseling! I'm honored to have Melanie Rogers from Come Alive Counseling with us as we talk about how to know if we need a counselor, what a spiritual director is, and what to do if counseling doesn't fit within our budget. She is one of my favorite therapists and I'm so happy I got to sit down with her! I know some of you are ALL IN on counseling and others of you are unsure or uninterested, and I think this conversation will be like a “counseling 101” starting place to help all of us figure out the role therapy can play in our lives.

How Do I Make Friends? (With Annie’s Best Friends) - Build Your Board Series Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Y’all talk to me all the time about how hard it is to make new friends as adults, and I get it. So today, four of my best friends--Jami, Kelley, Ashley, and Jen--join me to talk about how our friendships started, what it looks like to maintain friendships as adults with really busy lives, and what we expect from each other. You’ve met them before on other episodes, but I’ve never had all of these friends here at once, so this was a GOOD TIME.
