© 2025 Light In Your Corner
Description
Join Lauren and Monica as they discuss how to live in and bless our surrounding culture while carrying the LIGHT that cannot be overcome.
We are two women joining Jesus in our neighborhood while navigating family, friendships, work, creativity, and chronic health issues. We don't always do things right the first time, and we have a borderline-unhealthy relationship with British mystery novels, but with God we can find the humor and the heart behind most things. Light in Your Corner is our first podcast.

The Son of Man, and Micro-dosing and Beasts, Oh My! Hey Friends! We are back and today we are talking about just some of the many times Jesus called himself the Son of Man. It was a name that brought comfort to those seeking God’s kingdom, and it unsettled those who meant to establish their own kingdoms. So which camp do we fall into? In a world where we struggle to find meaning in hardship and relief in our struggles, it can be tempting to try one of the many paths presented to us. But...
Who do you say I am? Opinions. Spend thirty seconds online or in a grocery store with another human being and you are going to hear someone’s thoughts about something as small as toilet paper or as large as global politics. You can’t escape the opinions, and the voices just keep getting louder. That said, thank you for taking the time to listen to OUR voices today. Really, it means so much. People had all kinds of opinions in Jesus’s day, too. In fact, He asked His disciples what ...
To Fast or Not to Fast? That’s Just One of Many Questions Hi, friend, we are so glad you are with us today! In today’s episode we have a discussion about what we are doing, and what others suggest we do, to grow in living out our faith. It started as a text conversation in response to an interview John Mark Comer did about his book “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry,” but we knew there was more to discuss, and where better to discuss it than here on “Light in Your Corner”? So buckle up,...
“He’s Not a Tame Lion” We are back, Friends! It’s been a good summer, but we are happy to be back together and getting back into the swing of things podcast-wise. In this episode we are going to catch up a little. It has been a month since our last episode, so we are going to check in and see how things have been going. If you want to skip all that and get right to the heavy conversations, you can always go to minute 30 where we will start to discuss things like how God is good en...
“Taken,” Trahan, and Other Things That Point us to Jesus Welcome, Friends, to our July episode of Light in Your Corner. Over the summer we have had to scale back on the number of episodes we drop, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in length—and quality, too. Today we will talk a lot about what we have been doing and reading and listening to and watching, and how our lenses of faith filter those things and point us to Christ. We also discuss what happens when we build up ...
Hey, Friends! It is officially summer vacation for our kids but we are still getting together and recording episodes about all kinds of things to lighten your day! Today we are going to talk a lot about mindset and what it looks like to live and serve from a place of love instead of insecurity. We are also going to talk about some pop cultural advice and hold it up against scripture and see where things align or deviate. So if you have your Bible on you, we will be referring primarily t...
God on the Mountaintops and in the Messes Welcome, everyone, to the top of this episode and the top of Mount Sinai! It’s been a few weeks, but we are back with Moses and talking about all kinds of good things, like the benefits of taking time to recall what God has done, sifting through the details to get to the heart of things, and how we are designed for community—regardless of the mess. Because the truth is God knew this would be messy. He knew we would need Him, He designed us that ...
Mo People Mo Problems Hey, Friends! Welcome back to Light in Your Corner! We are in Exodus 18 and picking on Moses as we talk about leadership, mentorship, time management, ministry, and a hodgepodge of other stuff. Isn’t it great that God gives us the knowledge of His grace and love, and also some good pictures of what NOT to do?

When is Enough Enough? Welcome, everyone, to our 70th episode! If God had only given us 10 episodes, that would have been enough, but He keeps on giving! And this episode has a lot to offer. After all our book recommendations, we are going to dive into one of God’s most famous tests—the manna. Exodus 16 and 17 force us to ask the question, “What do I do when there isn’t enough?” In truth, we ask a lot of questions today because we all go through our share of Eden and Wilderness seas...
Some Motivation to do Hard Things Hi, friends! Today’s episode may get a little sassy as we discuss the importance of doing hard things. We can’t avoid them; hard things are just a fact of life. But how do we face annoying, or even impossible, situations in a way that brings peace and confidence instead of just reluctance and frustration? Today we will remind each other that there is blessing in the doing. And God blesses us as we go places we don’t want to go, or stay in places we don’t want...
I Need a Hero We are flying through the plagues today, making little observations about all the ways God provides and delivers. This is HIS story, after all. And His story is still going on today, in our lives. So we ask, how does He still provide? How does He still deliver? When I set myself up as Pharaoh, how does He firmly and lovingly remind me of who really holds the reins? How does He point me to His work in Jesus? There is a lot here, friends. And we are so glad you are in ...
When Things are Hard, You Can Trust God’s Heart There may be a lot of questions raised by the first chapters of Exodus, but one thing is very clear: God knows what He is about. And soon everyone is going to know. In chapters 5-7, we see how God responds to doubt and how He responds to evil, and it’s not necessarily the same response. When we are scared, He says, “Look at Me. Look at what I have done for you. Trust My heart for you.” And then He sends us to do the thing He has for us so ...
He sees, He Hears, He Knows Today’s story happened thousands of years ago across the globe, but it’s just so easy to relate to it—because who hasn’t looked into the face of uncertainty, fear, and even slavery, and called out for help? Maybe you have wondered if God hears, if He knows, if He sees you. Exodus 2-4 answers that question with a resounding “Yes!” God introduces Himself to the chosen deliverer of His people. Or rather, He introduces Himself as the chosen deliverer of His people. And...
What to Expect When You’re Expecting Miracles Hey, friends! We are back with a brand new season of Light in Your Corner! That’s right. It’s been a hot minute, but we are diving right into Exodus 1 this week. Well, maybe not diving. More like wading into it. It is easy to fly through Exodus because it is so familiar. After the life of Jesus, it may be the most retold story in film; and for good reason. Miracles in this book are spectacular, but no more meaningful than the miracles that tak...
God Bless Us, Every One! It’s almost Christmas, friends, and God is already giving gifts! He’s so good, isn’t He? Merry Christmas, everyone. You are all gifts to us and we are so grateful for the time you spend with us and the encouragement you share. May God bless you all with His Light this Christmas! ALSO: “You talk to the Lord with that mouth?” Did the devil really make you do itThe power of saying a person’s nameCheering for StrangersIs He really enough References: Ma...
Awaiting Christmas When You Know You Have Enough The media tells us that the season of giving thanks is past and now it’s time to focus on the real deal: giving presents. We spend money, time and energy finding tokens of love for those we care about. Or maybe just some tokens of acknowledgment for people around us. But giving thanks is just as important now as it ever was because God is giving us gifts in this very moment. Even in this breath, even in the sound waves that carry these words ...
The Freedom of Not Having All the Answers Hey Friends! We are back at it and talking about the Fall into sin, free will, helping people when we don’t feel like it, and how there are lots of things we just don’t understand. Sounds like a party, doesn’t it? The good news is that we have a God who knows how to throw a great party in spite of all that. And we are stepping into the abundance and leaving the rest up to Him. And if you take issue with anything, you know where to find us!...
Fighting for the Abundance Mentality All over the Bible, from beginning to end, God is giving His children good things. And not just a few good things; a whole kingdom of good things. It’s no secret that there’s a disconnect, a tragic separation between the reality of God’s abundant love and our ability to recognize it around us. It doesn’t come naturally anymore. It takes the Holy Spirit working in us every day. So how does that happen? And why is this important? Could this r...
Anyone who thinks Christianity is boring or easy has never read 2nd Peter. And today we head into the last chapter of 2nd Peter with Peter’s clear instruction: don’t forget what you learned from the prophets and from Jesus. People will come who will try to confuse us, who will mock God and mock us. But there is hope! Jesus is coming back! And we get to look forward to it! So how do we live like people who are actually looking forward to Jesus’ return? We spend time with Him he...
Be Prepared! No one likes the sound of sirens. They indicate something is coming. Something bad, usually. We associate a siren’s warning with emergency responders and storms. They usually tell us that someone has been hurt, or that there is a risk that someone could be hurt soon. But there’s another side to sirens too. They show that someone is there, paying attention and responding. They show that someone with more information, skill, and authority wants us to be safe. Second Pet...
