We are so excited for you to be joining us this fall as we've added FOUR new co-hosts! We will be talking about how we can be extremely pratical in our discipleship and how to be intentional in this busy world.

The world has changed so much, but our God remains the same. Join me today as we pray some of the specific names of God that have helped me most in this season!
I wrote this prayer remembering that Jesus could have come as a King, but instead came as a man of sorrows. We can take comfort today that He can empathize with our pain, grief, and questions. Pray with me today for Week 4 of our Lent series.
Today, we are going to talk to Amy Gannett about her new book Fix Your Eyes: How Our Study of God Shapes Our Worship Of Him.

You probably know Crystal Paine best from her blog, books, and resources at The Money Saving Mom. Crystal has been a trusted help and friend to moms all over the world since 2007.
In this interview, she’s getting a bit more intimate and sharing the incredible partnering journey she’s been on over the last several years. Crystal shares her infertility and foster care story, but she also shares how God met and taught her in a hard season with one of her children- and helped her move from performance-based parenting to parenting from a place of being loved.
She shares how to tackle the lie that your parenting isn’t measuring up, how to replace those lies with truth, and how to do less correcting and more connecting with your children.
It is probably no surprise to you that kids and teens are more anxious than ever, but did you know that girls are twice as likely to develop an anxiety disorder than boys and yet significantly less likely to get treatment for anxiety than their male friends. Our daughters are suffering and isolated and they need our help.
Today, as we tackle this topic- I’m so honored to be joined by Sissy Goff! Sissy is a licensed counselor and the director of counseling for girls and young women at Daystar Counseling Ministries right in Nashville, TN. She is an author of 11 books on parenting, and today we are going to talk about her new book- Raising Worry-Free Girls: Helping Your Daughter Feel Braver, Stronger, and Smarter in an Anxious World
On this episode, we discuss:
I’m so humbled and grateful to share about the recent release of Nicki Koziarz's new book Flooded. Nicki shares some of the recent tragedies in her own life that left her doubting God.
In the midst of her pain, Nicki looked through the lens of the biblical account of Noah and discovered five decisions a person can make to help deflect the destruction of doubt. Through this biblical account, she walks us through how to let our doubts drive us to God and not away from Him.
If you are walking through a hard season, this is a must listen!
We've walked through a hard year and we've done so much adjusting to our new normal! If you are still processing your grief, like I am, join me today for a Prayer of Lament.
This season has a powerful way of reminding us that God makes all things new. Join us today as we pray a Spring revival prayer.

I’m so excited to share this amazing conversation I had with my friend Jenny Randle a few weeks ago. Jenny is an Emmy award-winning editor, she's a brilliant creative, she is the co-host of the hilarious and amazing "Shut The Should Up Podcast".
Today- we are going to dive into her newest book Getting To Know The Voice of God. I couldn’t think of a better topic or interview to wrap up our revival series. We are going to talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, how God speaks to our hearts, how to avoid abusing the Jesus card, and how to seek his voice in the business of motherhood. I know this is going to bless you and give you so much to think about!
There's power when we pray together- even as busy moms in the car pickup line, laundry room, or cubicle. Join us today as we pray for corporate revival across our cities, nations, and world.
So far, we've talked about our steps in revival- returning and repentance. But today, I'm excited to share what GOD promises to do in the revival work after we've taken those steps.
Join me today as we talk about personal renewal and why we can have a great expectation for what God is doing in our hearts.
Today's format is a little different! I'm sharing a recent talk I shared at my home church- Northstar Church in Knoxville, TN for our 21 days of prayer and fasting. I share the role of repentance in revival and 3 helpful reminders for true repentance.
This episode is a little longer than our typical 5 minutes (about 20 minutes) but I pray it blesses you!
In this episode, we talk about why we are poised more than ever for corporate revival and how we can personally (yes, even as busy moms) lay the foundation for a great move of God, in the darkest times.

Tara-Leigh Cobble is a Bible teacher, speaker, and top podcaster and in this episode, we are going to talk about KNOWING AND LOVING God’s Word again.
This is an honest, vulnerable episode where we talk about what to do if you feel too busy or too burnout to read God’s Word and what it looks like to spark that fire again. There’s no shaming here- just great hope and practical advice for where to start.
We share our personal stories with great transparency and my prayer is that as you dream and plan for your spiritual growth for the upcoming year- this gives you ALL the tools you need to hit the ground running in 2021 and that you’ll experience a depth of God’s goodness in his Word like never before.
What difference would it make in your life if you invited Jesus into your boat and put Him at the helm? Today we are joined by the beautiful Jess Carey to talk about how her life was radically changed when she gave God FULL control.

If you are wrestling with how to seize a God-sized dream, where that fits in motherhood, or how to persevere in the messy middle of obeying God- this interview will be such an encouragement to you.
We are joined by the amazing Lisa Bevere today!
I'm so inspired by the ministry she has built with her husband, the men she has raised, and her passion for teaching women. Her life has no doubt made a massive impact for eternity.
Lisa is a fire hydrant of wisdom in this interview as she dives into the heart and command of Titus 2- the older women are to teach the younger women how to live godly and impactful lives.
We chat about:
-What is a "Godmother" and how to be or find one (Hint: It has more to do with the early church than Cinderella or the mafia!)
-How to breach the devastating generational gaps that keep us from one another's lives
-How finding these women can help us overcome mom guilt and hit our stride as intentional, Kingdom-minded moms.

When we think of peace, we may not think of a special needs mom of 8, in the middle of quarantine, without her normal (and vital!) resources while running her non-profit and writing a new book. But to me- Jess’ faith and life are powerful reminders that God’s peace is so much bigger than our circumstances. That His promise of PEACE is contingent on our lives always looking and feeling so nice and neat. That no matter what’s stacked against us in life, we can walk with the Shepherd and rest beside still waters. Jess has experienced this in so many seasons and her testimony will take your breath away.

Rachel and I decided to record so you could hear her powerful story and perspective- as a woman of color, as a mom, and as a believer and Jesus-lover.

What what does God say about our dreams and passions? What does dreaming look like when seasons, roles, and our capacity changes? What does dreaming look like as a mom raising kids? What role DO our passions and dreams play in God's Kingdom?
Today, our guest Dianne Jago shares her personal story and boldly points us back to the plum line of scripture. She tackles how changing the world may depend more on what we are willing to lay down than chase and how putting the first things first may lead us to a life far beyond what we could ever dream.

The world has changed so much in the last three weeks, but our God remains the same. Join me today as we pray some of the specific names of God that have helped me most in this season!
Just a couple of weeks ago, I spoke with author, speaker, and the host of the Jesus Over Everything podcast Lisa Whittle. She’s a sister in Christ that I look up to so much spiritually and professionally—and we had a powerful conservation about what it looks like to uncomplicated our lives. To find peace. And how to put Jesus over every single thing in our lives. Her book to me—is for such a time as this. God is calling us back to things that are true and back to Him.
Today we are going to talk about why God put this message on Lisa’s heart, how we can apply it specifically as moms in this season, how to lay down coping mechanisms and idols, and how to take the first steps in putting Jesus first.
I wrote this prayer remembering that Jesus could have come as a King, but instead came as a man of sorrows. We can take comfort today that He can empathize with our pain, grief, and questions. Pray with me today for Week 4 of our Lent series.
It’s overwhelming how much has happened in just a few short weeks, especially for my friends in Nashville. When I got on this call with Ellie Holcomb just a week before her book launch—we had no idea that a devastating tornado would tear through a city we both love dearly and no idea that we’d be facing the fear of a global pandemic. In the wake of all the news, Ellie’s book launch was a little delayed but even with all the chaos—the message couldn’t be more timely. Don’t forget to remember! Although this is a children’s book and album—don’t we all need this right now more than ever? God loves us and wants to draw us near. One line of Ellie’s book says, “on glad days and sad days God’s near and He knows—he can use any storm to make good things grow.”
I’m so grateful for Ellie’s reminder and joy today and her obedience to work on a project in her busy season of motherhood that will encourage us all.
