Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! In the valleys, in the not knowing for sure, in the middle of the night with illness or chronic pain or a new family tension, in the worry of having to make hard decisions. With so many hard things in life there is often a mix of joy in the little blessings, all the while carrying the heaviness of grief that doesn't leave us as we move through days, weeks, months and years.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! When we are sick, have been injured, are going through a very hard time and are very low...what we might need most, is someone willing to just come along, and sit beside us. It often comes with a sacrifice of our time, our to do lists, a sunny day, all the things WE want to do with that time. But sometimes...that's what LOVE looks like.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! It took a while to find just three hours when we were all free to podcast together. Such is the ebb and flow of life. We will all go through long seasons of little change to seasons where change is the only constant. Fighting for what is most important in each season can be difficult and requires circling back over and over to re-calibrate.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! As I wind up my series on hoarding I am going deep into one the main reasons some people cross over from collecting into crazy hoarder land. Underneath ( literally ) everything, there is an underlying fear. Fear of what if. Fear from the past. Fear of the present. Fear of the future. In this episode I share a very sad story of what fear can do to distort our reality and push us to make choices that in the end, might not do anything but harm us or those we love.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Part 2 of TRIGGERED! All the BIG feels in the world don't necessarily mean you're being triggered. It's important to know this because if you ARE it means you have sustained some sort of trauma and are re living it emotionally in a way that cannot be stopped. Let's go deeper and also come up with some other words we can use instead when we're feeling ALL the feels.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Amy is still off doing grown up work in the real world so Amber and I take off on a trail we have NEVER gone down. MURDER. We are both ( not Amy so much ) true crime junkies and thought we would give this a go. Both are true murders that happened in our home state of Maine. One is personal. One is oldtimey but happened just a few towns away from where we podcast! If you don't like a good murder story then perhaps wait till next week when Amy is back and all returns to normal.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Amy goes DEEP into social media and drops some very hard truth bombs about what is really happening to our children as a result of so much screen time, social media influence and online connections. OUR children are the first generation to grow up with little super computers in their hands. The 24-7 availability of constant dopamine addictive entertainment, sadly, comes at a great cost and one we should all be aware of.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Part 2 of Amber's breakdown of Gaslighting. A very serious form of abuse that is hard to explain and know for sure if it's happening to you. Hence, why we care so deeply about protecting it and raising awareness of what it is. If you think someone is gaslighting you, it's really important that you talk to a healthy person to get some perspective and advice! Don't just stay in that kind of relationship without sticking up for yourself!

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Our culture has taken MANY words too far into the realms of ordinary. Over or inappropriate use of some words cheapens their meaning, lessens their power and often abuses their truest purpose. Today...the word Amber is defending? Gaslighting.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! It's been 3 months since I had a hysterectomy. It took a solid two months to heal...accompanied by significant atrophy of all the muscles in my abdomen. Soooooo...it's now time for a personal rescue mission. I want to feel and be strong again and it is going to take some work and a new plan. The combination of being in my mid 40's PLUS abdominal surgery definitely threw a few curve balls at me that I didn't see coming.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! This is now one of our favorite January traditions. The thoughtful choosing of a word that sums up what we feel God is putting before us in this new year. This helps keep each of us grounded in the specific, personal areas that God is working on us in this new season. What would be YOUR word for this year if you had to pick just one? Is there something very special God is speaking softly into your mind and heart?

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! I will be the first to admit I have a problem...and that it's a struggle to stay on the straight and narrow path of true simple living. It's a struggle in my heart. It's a struggle reflected in my choices every day that have created habits which become my very life. Let's just start scratching the surface of this addiction...to seeing and doing too much.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Christmastime brings with it a lot of wishes and wants and for some of us, pain, stress and feelings of being or having less than. It is a struggle to keep things simple, at home, in gift giving and in our hearts. In it's truest meaning, Christmas is about God sending his son into the world to save sinners...in a most humble way and having nothing to do with decor, vibes, coziness, lights, trees, santa, piles of presents...or any of the other things we make it. But the struggle IS real.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Whilst going through a seriously difficult season physically I had to fight and fight and fight for the next right step...because the situation itself kept changing so drastically and there were so many different moving pieces that I could not control. In the end...I had to surrender and just pray...and God moved the mountains.
Since this episode was recorded I have had surgery and gone through several weeks of slow healing...which I look forward to talking about in future episodes.
Are you going through painful times friend? PRAY. Pray to the LORD and He WILL come alongside you in ways you can not now see or believe.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! When we were gathered to record this episode there was a state wide man hunt going on for someone who had just killed almost 20 people and injured many more. This was a first in our state and very scary to experience even an hour away from where it happened...let alone where Amber's oldest daughter was...in the same town. So as you can imagine, Ber was feeling ALL the mama bear feels, gut feelings and intuitions that could be felt and she had to do something about it.
Since this episode was recorded the man in question was found dead by his own hand in the woods near where he had killed so many.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Last week our sweet friend, Juliette Osborne shared her battle with lupus and how that played out in her daily life as a wife and mama. Today she shares her miraculous story of healing through strict intermittent fasting. She goes into both the science and faith behind it and how beneficial it has been to her regaining and maintaining her mobility and freedom while fighting a seriously debilitating chronic disease. She also does multiple deep dives into body image and how real that struggle is for women. She challenges us to rebel against the lies our culture constantly feeds us and instead to claim God's truths that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", something I personally struggle with, every day.
The books that she mentioned are:
Gin Stephens "Fast. Feast. Repeat." and "Delay, Don't Deny"

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! BUCKLE up sweet listeners. This one takes a few turns into places you might not be ready for. In an effort to speak into a few of the harder things in life...we just SCRATCH the surface in how "weird" we all are. Weird meaning...these are actually things we feel really strongly about and that even between the 3 of us...we barely agree on. So don't give up on us if you don't agree with ANY of this. We love each other fiercely despite how we've decided to navigate life in this day and age. How are YOU weird? Tell us! We would really love to know we're not alone! haha.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! In this episode: Back to School days are kinda emotionally triggering for me, and I'm sure I am not alone in those feels. I'm especially heavy of heart for all the children struggling with their gender as direct fallout of our incredibly confused culture at present. These are some sweet little prayers and Bible verses to pray over our children as they head back into the fray. Thanks to my mother in law for sending me these and praying them over her grandsons.
The Prayers written out below:
BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRAYERS
I pray that my children would understand their need for Jesus and rejoice in the good news of the gospel. “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death” (Ps. 68:19–20).
I pray that my children will love learning, that their hearts would seek to understand the world you’ve created. “The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly” (Prov. 15:14).
I pray that as they learn about your world, they would behold the majesty of your glory. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge” (Ps. 19:1–2).
I pray that you would surround them with friends who make wise choices and encourage their faith. “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm” (Prov. 13:20).
I pray that their teachers would be wise and gentle. “The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. . . . A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit” (Prov. 15:2, 4).
I pray that they would work with diligence and put forth their best efforts. “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied” (Prov. 13:4).
I pray that they would be thoughtful with their words and respectful in their replies. “The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things” (Prov. 15:28).
I pray that you would free them from the pressure of trying to be like everyone else, instead instilling in them the confidence to know they’re uniquely made by you. “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well” (Ps. 139:14).
I pray that they would receive correction well. “The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise. Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence” (Prov. 15:31–32).
I pray that they would share their faith with others. “They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom” (Ps. 145:11–12).
I pray that when they do what’s wrong, they would bear consequences that lead them to repentance. I pray that when they do what’s right, you would bless their obedience that they may learn to love your ways. “The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways” (Prov. 14:14). Oh Lord hear our prayers! Amen! I pray that your Word would be on their hearts and in their minds as they learn. “Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD” (Prov. 16:20).
I pray that they would be kind to others. “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor” (Prov. 21:21).
I pray that you would give them the grace of self-control. “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls” (Prov. 25:28).
I pray that your grace would rest upon them. “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” (Ps. 90:17).
I pray that you would protect them from all evil. “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life” (Ps. 121:1–2, 7).
More than anything else, may their lives glorify you. “I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever” (Ps. 86:12).

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! One of, I think Amber's BEST episodes which came out of one of her WORST public tantrums. God is able to take use ALL things for HIS good. He is able to make us strong where we were weak. He is able to take our mess and make something beautiful out of it. Thank You Amber for being SO vulnerable in this episode. May we all keep trying. Keep failing FORWARD, even when we are terrified. May we all find God's grace, rich, abundant and FREE, waiting for us on the other side.

Welcome to the 3 Maine Girls! In this episode: Shout out to the wonderful book "Changes that Heal" by Dr Henry Cloud which Amber and I are re-visiting in the face of our own personal emotional struggles. Amber has four very challenging points of growth gleaned from the book that I am challenged to ponder in real time. Super helpful in moving forward in a healthy ways from a difficult childhood, adulthood, a traumatizing experience or any internal struggle with ourselves or others that we might be living through.
