#509 – Tara-Leigh Cobble – Engaging with God Daily Nov 20, 2024

Connecting with God through Scripture is how intimacy is formed.

The thing is, even in knowing this, studying Scripture can still feel like an impossible task.

Tara-Leigh Cobble joins me on this episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. She is a speaker and teacher who has helped millions access and understand the Bible through The Bible Recap Podcast.

I know this conversation will encourage you to engage with Scripture, even when life dares to get in the way.

#503 – Kendra Adachi – A New Approach to Productivity Oct 22, 2024

In a world where we’re bombarded with endless productivity hacks and the pressure to achieve greatness, finding balance can feel like an uphill battle. We’re told that success is about checking off endless to-do lists and constantly hustling toward our goals. But this relentless pursuit of “doing more” can leave us feeling drained, anxious, and disconnected from what truly matters.

What if we could redefine productivity to align with our season of life? In this episode, I reconnected with Kendra Adachi, the brilliant mind behind the Lazy Genius approach. Kendra and I dive into her new book, The PLAN: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius.

Kendra invites us to rethink our relationship with planning and productivity. She teaches us that true productivity is not merely about the tools we use or the systems we implement; it’s about cultivating a mindset that aligns with our values and dreams.

#502 – Let Go of Worry and Learn to Cast Your Cares Oct 16, 2024

Sometimes, I look at the women in my life, and I can see it all in their eyes. The anxiety, the fear, and the worry are evident without them saying a word. We girls often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and the worry that comes with it.

#497 – Emily P. Freeman – How to Make Difficult Decisions Sep 09, 2024

When choosing whether to walk into a new space or out of your current one, feelings of uncertainty can convince you that you’re better off not making a decision at all. But you don’t have it all figured out to move forward in your life. You can choose to do the next right thing instead.

I chatted with my friend Emily P. Freeman to discuss her New York Times bestseller, “How to Walk Into a Room.” Her fresh perspective on decision-making left me feeling at peace about my present and hopeful for my future. I am certain that this conversation will be a comfort to you as well.

Setting boundaries with your friends is an act of self-acceptance and self-love. It is how you show your friends that you understand and value yourself.

#495 – Amber O’Neal Johnston – Cultivate Confidence in Home Education Aug 19, 2024

For many moms, the idea of homeschooling sounds nice, but it can feel too far out of reach. Sometimes, you just need to hear from someone who’s a little further along to know that you can do it, too.

I sat down with fellow homeschool mom Amber O’Neal Johnston on the latest episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. Amber has pushed past a lack of representation in the available homeschool curriculum and intentionally cultivated a village for her family.

#494 – Cultivating Kindness Aug 12, 2024

Is it hard for you to show kindness to certain people in your life? Better yet, is there anyone that you love out of obligation rather than out of the love of Christ?

There are keys to loving others well that can go a long way in improving your interactions with others. Allow me to share a little wisdom with you.

You get so little time to spend with those you care about. Remember that you may be the only person to show them the love that God first showed you.

#489 – Travis Greene – When Prayer Meets Preparation Jul 01, 2024

Have you taken the time to prepare for what you’ve prayed for?

When we submit our desires to God, we can become so focused on getting to our destination that we fail to live our lives well in the meantime. But there is so much life to be lived in the in-between season.

Travis Greene joins me on The Sister Circle Podcast to discuss his debut book, Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing?, and the transformation that takes place when we steward our current season well.

#487 – Faith Eury Cho – Finding Friendship with God Jun 17, 2024

What a friend we have in Jesus. If I close my eyes, I can hear the melody of this hymn in my head. And while the lyrics ring true, there are times that I have to remind myself that Jesus is indeed my friend.

I was reminded of this when I sat down with Faith Eury Cho, an international speaker, pastor, author, and mom of four. Her new book, “Experiencing Friendship with God,” is a necessary resource for establishing intimacy with God.

Something transformational will happen when you let down your guard and let go of coming to God as a perfect person. Through a deeper connection with God, you will end up where He wants you to be.

#486 – Power in the Little Things Jun 10, 2024

When I reflect on my life, do you know what stands out? All of the small things I’ve done that led me to the big things God had in store for me.

I can trace this back to many experiences in my life.

These seemingly small efforts over time have led to a lasting legacy for my family. I’ve seen the decisions of my grandparents have an impact over generations. But the only way things continue for generations to come is if each individual in our family continues to make the next right small decision that leads to legacy.

The same can be true for you. When you commit to doing the small things well and consistently, you’ll pick up the momentum you need to transform your current situation. But more importantly, you will become the person you were meant to be.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Focusing on what you can change
Building on what works for you
Spending your time wisely
Changing the trajectory of your story

#485 – White Rice Matters Jun 03, 2024

What makes your home a home?

Is it the strategically placed picture frames full of family memories? The carefully curated decor following a theme you planned out yourself? Or is it the perfectly polished floors and countertops that lack any sign of life?

Oftentimes, we associate cluttered tables, stacked sinks, and noisy kitchens with chaos. But what if that didn’t have to be the case? What if the messy sights, belly-deep laughter, and scents wafting from room to room are signs of life being lived and memories being made?

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Create memories that matter
Embrace the messiness of your everyday
Find joy in simple things

#483 – The Truth About Body Positivity May 20, 2024

Have you ever looked at the limitations in your life as gifts from God? I know how difficult it can be to stay positive when you feel stretched thin by life’s demands.

In the latest episode of the Sister Circle Podcast, I sat down with my friend Sara Hagerty to talk about her insightful new book, “The Gift of Limitations,” and the importance of honoring your boundaries.

I understand all too well that the limits in your life can feel unfair. But when you are honest about your boundaries with yourself and others, you can begin to let go and surrender your plans to God.

Naming your limitations
Surrendering your dreams
Honoring your boundaries

#481 – Embracing the Evolution of You May 06, 2024

When I first started my podcast ten years ago, I had no idea where this journey would take me. Armed with a borrowed microphone and basic recording software like GarageBand and QuickTime Player on my Macbook, I embarked on a path to share my thoughts in four categories – faith, family and friends, food and fitness, and fun. Little did I know that this endeavor would not only change my life but also teach me invaluable lessons about personal growth and the evolution of oneself.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Embracing change
Running your own race
Remaining faithful

#478 – Creating Balance in Your Life Apr 22, 2024

Life will naturally create the hard. As you walk through the decades of life make sure you are marking them with something good for you to look back on.

As moms, wives, women in leadership, business owners, and sisters, we notice when the things around us need our care. We see when others aren’t having fun. But we forget to see ourselves. We forget to transition our needs as our seasons of life change. We forget to live a little.

But it’s time to remember. It’s time to choose balance. It’s time to connect with the girl in you who laughs and plays just because.

Doing too much of anything or holding something too closely, even a good thing, can create an unbalanced life. Watch this episode to gain practical tips on how to find the balance your soul desires.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Look for what your soul needs
Be intentional about balance
Initiate what you desire in life
Be present in the spaces you choose

Is there a business dream you want to bring to life but can’t figure out where to start?

I know that pursuing a side hustle or a full-fledged business can feel daunting, to say the least. When money gets funny and support is hard to find, the temptation to quit on your dreams becomes all too real.

#476 – How to Create Intimacy with God Apr 08, 2024

Do you remember when God’s voice was the loudest voice in your life?

The privilege to connect with God on an intimate level can be easy to overlook in busy seasons of life. Slow seasons offer the margin needed to discern the voice of God, but when the noise and distraction increase, it doesn’t take long for time with God to decrease.

It’s important to take the steps to get still and quiet the noise in your life. Be sure you’re ready to listen when God speaks.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Get quiet and get still
Pay attention when God speaks
Share your thoughts with God

#475 – Devi Titus – How to Exceed Expectations Mar 25, 2024

Have you become comfortable with doing just enough to get by? What would it look like for you to go beyond what’s expected of you?

We have the power to leave our homes, our jobs, and public spaces better than we found them when we do more than what’s required of us. Renowned author and speaker Devi Titus called this the “Also Principle,” and she modeled it in how she lived her life.

As you focus on the Lord and build a habit of applying the “Also Principle” to your life, it will become a part of your character. You will shift the atmosphere just by asking “what more can I do?”

#474 – Dr. Curt Thompson – How to Stop Silencing Your Suffering Mar 18, 2024

How do you hold on to hope in moments of suffering?

Dr. Curt Thompson joined me to dive deeper into the believer’s relationship with suffering and hope. In his latest book, “The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope,” Dr. Thompson pairs his clinical knowledge as a psychiatrist with his own life experience, allowing him to engage with his patients and readers of his books with empathy.

What would happen if you, too, leaned into moments of suffering and supported your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? When you use tough moments as opportunities to lean on others in the faith, you can experience the glory and the goodness of God.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Stop suffering in silence
Connect with community
Deal with disappointment and shame
Have the courage to hope again

#473 – The Power of Your “Also” Mar 12, 2024

Have you ever had someone go above and beyond for you? From as small as an extra smile during an exchange with a stranger to someone showing up in a big way when they didn’t have to, when people go the extra mile, it leaves an impression.

I like to call this the “also principle.” The “also principle” is the concept of going over and above as a way to live. It’s asking the right questions at the right time. It’s noticing what people need and volunteering to give it even when they don’t ask.

The “Also Principle” seeks to do more when more is within reach. It’s as if you are willing to say, “I’ve done my duty, but ALSO, what else can I do to go above and beyond what’s required?”

You only get this one life, and the only thing that will be here after you’re done is the impression you left.

So, if you are going to leave an impression, sprinkle a little “also” on it so that it’s a good one.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Allowing the Lord to establish your steps
Going above and beyond
Recalling Jesus example
Acknowledging that your “also” isn’t about you.
Remembering only what is done for Christ will last.

My daughter, Kariss Farris, sat down with me to talk about her new devotional, “Jesus Everywhere: 60 Days of Encountering God in Unexpected Places,” and what happens when we pay attention to the hand of God in our lives.

#471 – How to Manage Your Emotions Feb 26, 2024

Are your feelings trying to tell you something? As someone who feels deeply, I can assure you that the feelings you express (intentionally or unintentionally) are often an outworking of what is going on in your heart. (Luke 6:45)

When you keep your feelings inside, you might also be setting yourself up for them to come out in harmful ways or cause damage underneath the surface. Whether your emotions cause you to implode or explode, ignoring your feelings can be detrimental to you and your loved ones.

Honor your feelings by acknowledging your feelings, naming your emotions, and doing the work to repair the soil of your heart.

My prayer is that you live a thriving life, and that if you are not experiencing that life currently, that God will break up the dry soil in your life so that you can thrive again.

Highlights from Today’s Episode

Acknowledging your feelings
Naming your emotions
Doing the work to repair the soil of your heart

#470 – How to Cultivate Friendships Feb 20, 2024

Why are adult friendships so complicated? If you’ve ever wondered why making and maintaining friends is difficult the older you get, trust me, you’re not alone.

In my own life, my friendships have shifted in different seasons. What I know for sure is that it was worth the fight. On the other side of hard conversations is support, love, and true connection.

Proverbs 27:17 puts it this way, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

You were made for connection. When you take the time to cultivate your circle of friends, you will surely reap the benefits. But you have to be intentional and prayerful in the process.

Are you showing up authentically?

My longtime friend Jada Edwards joined me during this year’s Sister Circle Live event to chat about how she embraces her authenticity. She encouraged the ladies (and myself) to get clear about what is true about our design and to walk freely in it.

Trust me, I know that living authentically is a process. There might be parts of your story that require you to seek outside support for healing. But the work is worth it.

Learning how to show up authentically in your life looks different for everyone. Spend some time learning what works for you and lean into who you truly are.

#464 – Keys to Thriving in 2024 Jan 14, 2024

If you want to thrive, you must be planted well.

What does it mean for you to thrive?

Well, the dictionary defines thriving as growth or development that happens well. Thriving means “to prosper” and “to flourish”.

It does not mean that there aren’t challenges, problems, or hardships to overcome, but thriving does mean that you will overcome them as you increase your capacity to be all that God has called you to be.

Thriving is moving from glory to glory.

And I know you might be wondering, what does it take to thrive?

Well, that’s exactly what I want to tell you about today…

What do you already know you should be doing? If you are seeking clarity and you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to consider what you know is true. What did God tell you to do, but you’ve been putting it off? In this episode, we talk about how it’s time to activate your knowledge to see the growth you’ve been longing to see in your life. Pray and seek wise counsel also. But you don’t need to fill your mind with more information. Trust what you have heard God say in His Word and in your quiet moments with Him, and act now. Take that first step. You already know what to do!
