EP 68: Biblical Submission is Beautiful. Here's Why. Nov 16, 2022

Biblical submission is an incredibly important topic for anyone who is married or desires marriage. Why? Because it’s a biblical command for wives to submit to their husbands. And for some reason, verses like Ephesians 5:22 and Colossians 3:18 that instruct wives to submit to their husbands get a ton of backlash and just have an all around bad rep. It shouldn’t be this way, and the point of today’s episode is to explain why that is...why the act of submission is actually a beautiful and right thing, and why it should bring us joy and delight!

EP 62: MAMA Interview with Caitlin Arlene Nov 24, 2021

Friend, today you are in for an absolute treat! I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Caitlin Arlene, a dear sister and author of MAMA: True Stories of Maternal Health in Malawi.

While working on an international development article as a student, Caitlin was shocked to discover the desperate statistics surrounding global maternal health. Every day, approximately 830 women die due to preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The same day will bear nearly 6,700 neonatal deaths – infants who do not make it past their first month.

Caitlin's passion for global maternal health and her desire to be a voice for the voiceless will inspire, challenge and encourage you in more ways than one. Praying this conversation blesses you just as much as it blessed me!

Trusting God can be hard, especially in the midst of difficult and devastating circumstances. In today's episode, I'm sharing how my husband and I are processing the recent diagnosis of our unborn baby girl's critical congenital heart defect.

Sister, to know God is to trust Him. When unexpected life events show up at our door, my prayer is that we would run to the Father, not away from Him.
