this week I wanted to share with you something on my heart as we finalize this series! it's been so fun!

On today’s podcast I interviewed Jennie Allen, one of my favorite Bible teachers. We talked about being fully surrendered, how to do battle in our minds, and how true community brings satisfaction.
In today's episode I interviewed Francie Winslow, host of the Heaven Your Home podcast, and speaker and teacher on the power and purpose of intimacy.  Francie is such a gift to our time, speaking on marriage and sex in a biblical and real way. We talk all about how to find satisfaction in our marriages, what do we do when we're not being satisfied, and the purpose of sex, as well as how to work through roadblocks within sex. Find Francie @franciewinslow and check out her "Heaven in Your Home" podcast. 
On today's episode I interviewed Ruth Chou Simons on how to be satisfied in our everyday lives.

In today's episode, I had the honor of interviewing my dear friend Jodie Berndt all about prayer, and how it brings us into the presence of God and how we can find satisfaction through it.  Jodie is fun, real, authentic and breaks down all the barriers we may have in praying and makes it doable and desirable.  Guys, trust me, you don't want to miss this episode! Find Jodie @jodieberndt And buy her new book "Praying the Scriptures for Your Life: 31 Days of Abiding in the Presence, Provision, and Power of God." 
In this episode, I get the chance to read ch. 1 of my new book Satisfied called "Longings Met". This is one of my favorite chapters of the book, and one that hits home for anyone- no matter what season of life you find yourself in.  I think anyone listening today has a something that they're longing for- a new job, a friend, a home, a spouse, a child, etc. And the reality is, is that even when our longings are met- when we get the job or say "I Do" or read "PREGNANT" on the stick, we will discover that as wonderful as the gift is, it still has challenges and difficulties with it. And we will find ourselves waiting for something else, again. So what do we do with our longings? When they're met, but it's still hard, or when they weren't what we envisioned? When we find ourselves still waiting, still longing.  This chapter, and this episode, dives deep into that very thing...hope it encourages you!
Today on the podcast I had the honor of interviewing my good friend Emilie McCormack, mom of 5. She and her husband pastor Reach Church in Kirkland, WA and we often are talking about our passions and callings and what the Spirit is calling us into. I wanted to sit down with her and have her share her wisdom with how we can say yes to what God has for us, stay content in whatever season we find ourselves in, and continue to passionately pursue Jesus within our specific personalities and callings. We talk about comparison and things that sometimes trip us up from doing the very things we're created to do.  Satisfied comes out June 15th! Get your copy today wherever books are sold! You can find Emilie @emiliemccormack and check out her podcast "This Changed My Life, with Emilie McCormack"

I love your guys' mindset and I personally enjoy growing in my relationship with Jesus and loving others yet I have a hard time remembering that it is important to love myself which ultimately causes inner turmoil in my life. I think it would be a great idea for Jeff to write a book about self love.

I really enjoyed this one. I think it's that episode I'll probably have to listen to again. My take on vulnerability is, Everyone shouldn't get a backstage pass to your life. There's a reason why some people are allowed backstage and why some sit in the audience. That was one of my major lessons in 2018
