This week's episode is all about finding your worth in God instead of what other people think. I'm sharing a personal story about discovering my old paintings in a trash pile and how it taught me an important lesson. People's opinions change all the time, but God's love for us never changes.

Have you ever heard a phrase so many times that you just assumed it was scripture? In this episode I'm breaking down four common sayings that sound spiritual but aren't actually in God's word, and replacing them with what scripture actually says, because His truth is always stronger, steadier, and more honest than any cliché.

When Halee got a phone call hours after a routine ultrasound, everything changed. The words "cystic hygroma" and "10% chance of survival" shattered her carefully planned world. But over the months that followed, through weekly appointments, grim statistics, and doctors who suggested ending her pregnancy, she learned what it means to trust God in the unknown and choose life even when the odds seem impossible. In This Episode: Navigating pregnancy when doctors give you a 10% survival rate and the emotional weight of living week-to-week in the unknown Why choosing a different medical provider matters—finding doctors who will support your faith-based decisions instead of pushing termination The beautiful "God winks" along the way: how butterflies became a constant theme before Halee even knew her daughter's diagnosis would be represented by a butterfly Halee's message to mothers facing scary diagnoses: statistics don't define your baby's story, and there are doctors who will encourage you to choose life Connect with us!

In this episode, I share a powerful lesson that hit me during my slow-and-steady Bible reading journey—one that changed the way I see the story of David and Goliath. We dig into how Satan doesn’t attack us randomly—he targets the very areas where God wants to use us most. I reflect on a personal experience from my teaching days that mirrors David’s moment, and together, we uncover how to recognize these strategic attacks and respond with faith, not fear.

We all want guidance and direction in life, but we also want to maintain control. I learned something powerful standing in a parking lot in Atlanta: there's a big difference between having a navigation system and having an actual driver who knows the route. What if the stress and exhaustion we feel comes from trying to navigate our own lives when God is ready to take the wheel? In This Episode: What a driverless car in downtown Atlanta taught me about trusting God with the unknowns instead of trying to control every detail The difference between having a route programmed versus having a driver who's actually seen the road, and why God's experience matters more than our planning How white-knuckling the steering wheel of our lives keeps us from experiencing the beauty of what God is doing around us Practical steps for letting God drive: prayer, journaling, silence, and taking the next step without needing to see the whole route mapped out Connect with us!

Taylor Moore started Tees by Taylor at 20 years old with a newborn baby and a dream she'd been praying about since ninth grade. What began as one t-shirt printer in 2020 has grown into a fully faith-based company that's impacting lives far beyond Alabama. Her story is a beautiful reminder that when we're faithful with what's in our hands, God can do immeasurably more than we imagine. In This Episode: How Taylor went from running a business on high school breaks to building a faith-based t-shirt company as a young mom of four The power of taking small, obedient steps without waiting for the perfect plan—just starting where you are with what you have The incredible story of the Texas Strong fundraiser that turned a $10,000 goal into $330,000 for Samaritan's Purse in three weeks Why harvest doesn't come without planting—how all the small improvements and faithful steps prepared Taylor for what God had planned Connect with us!

Two weeks ago, I had a thought I'd never thought before: take your book to market. The problem? Market was eight days away, and my devotional about hearing God's voice wasn't even finished yet. But what if impossible timing is exactly God's invitation to trust Him? In This Episode: Recognizing God's voice through unexpected thoughts, dreams, and open doors, even when the timing feels crazy Why walking by faith means taking the next step before you can see steps two, three, and four The three questions that keep us from following God's leading: Does this feel crazy? Is this inconvenient? What will people think? Learning to care more about God's voice than anyone else's opinion, even when obedience doesn't make sense to others Connect with us!

I'm kicking off 2026 with a wild Christmas morning story involving a rogue deer on Main Street and a powerful message from a youth conference that hit me right where I needed it. We're diving into Luke 5 and Simon's response to Jesus—"because you say so, I will"—and how that simple statement of obedient faith speaks to the excuses we all make when God nudges us toward something uncomfortable. I'm challenging you (and myself) to ask what net God is inviting you to let down again this year, even when it doesn't make sense, even when the timing feels off, and even when you're tired from already trying.

In this episode, Alli Hunter and I talk about something we've both been learning: how to make gratitude and remembrance a real, everyday practice instead of just a nice idea. We share tangible ways we're teaching ourselves and our kids to remember God's faithfulness because when we forget what God has already done, fear gets louder. If you've ever felt your faith waver not because God moved but because life just got loud, this conversation is for you. Connect with us!

My friend Kristie and her husband Scott have been through years of infertility, adopting two daughters, and most recently adopting their foster son. She shares the real, honest truth about this road - the heartbreak, the waiting, the surrendering, and the joy that comes from saying yes to kids who need families. If you've ever wondered about fostering or adopting, this will feel like having coffee with a friend who's been there. In this episode, we talk about: Her journey from infertility to adoption and fostering What the adoption process actually looks like - the waiting, the costs, the heartbreak The difference between fostering and fostering-to-adopt How anyone can support foster and adoptive families Connect with us!

Operation Christmas Child is one of my family's favorite traditions. In this episode, I am joined by a very special guest who was actually a recipient of an Operation Christmas Child box as a child growing up in Fiji. Zac is sharing his experience and the impact of the project as a child receiving a box, and how you can get involved with Operation Christmas Child today to bless more children around the world.

In this episode, I'm wrapping up our angels series by diving into a topic that makes some people uncomfortable: fallen angels and spiritual warfare. I promise we're approaching it from a place of victory, not fear. We'll walk through Scripture together to understand what happened when some angels chose rebellion, who Satan really is, and most importantly, how we can stand firm knowing that Jesus has already won the battle.

In this episode, we're diving into what angels actually do. They're messengers of God's Word, ministers to His people, warriors in spiritual battle, and worshippers who never stop praising Him. I'm sharing some incredible stories that remind us there's so much more happening around us than what we can see with our physical eyes. I hope this conversation will encourage you to trust that God is near and Heaven is actively working on your behalf. Connect with us!

In this episode, I explore who angels really are according to Scripture: created beings who exist to worship God and carry out His will with perfect obedience. We examine the different ranks of angels like archangels, cherubim, and seraphim, and discover that while angels are powerful, we as redeemed humans hold a unique place in God's heart. Understanding angels helps us better understand God's character and challenges us to respond to Him with the same quick obedience and wholehearted worship that the angels demonstrate in Heaven.
