This podcast exists to encourage us to see the "more" in life that is all around us everyday. Each episode – through people, spaces and stories – we will laugh, learn and grow together.
I have dreamed for the day I could record an episode like this and that day is finally here – WE'RE HAVING A BABY! Needless to say, Scott and I are over the moon. This episode is meant to feel like a catch up between friends where I get to share what this pregnancy has been like so far, all the thoughts/feelings that have been swirling and hopes for what's next.
**I say this often in the conversation, I know what it's like to be on the other side of these announcements when you're in your own season of waiting. My heart is still tender towards and resonates with all that is wrapped up in the hope to become a parent, so please feel the grace to wait on this episode as needed.

A huge part of my life and story is the work that I had the opportunity to do with A21 which is a global anti-human trafficking organization. With today, July 30th, being World Day Against Human Trafficking, I wanted to host a conversation with one of my teammates, Markee Johnson, about what we can do in our everyday lives to advocate for the freedom of others.

Pulling this all-time favorite conversation into this current season of life because it is SO good.
Almost two years ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with one of my dream guests, Dr. Alicia Britt Chole, to talk about a book that she wrote that radically changed my perspective – Anonymous: Jesus' Hidden Years and Yours. Alicia is absolutely brilliant and her thoughts about God, and the way our daily life walks in step with Jesus, comes from a deep well of personal experience and individually wrestling to understand. I'm still not over it!

Unfortunately, I Love You is a collaborative collection of words for anyone who's ever been in love alone with Sarah Jane Souther at the lead – and I am obsessed. To say Sarah Jane has a way with words majorly understates how she (and her writing collective-mates) put language to what it's like to be in love with someone (or something) that doesn't love you back. "Old flames and exes. Friends and family members. Places. Cats." Prepare to fall in madly in love.

Elise Moore is one of my all-time favorite people. Over the last year she has navigated something she never anticipated: divorce. Through it all, I have watched her make the choice to show up as honestly as possible to seek truth and freedom. The purpose of this conversation isn't to hash out the details or push a scandalous story – this is Elise's real life. And the heartbeat of this episode is to listen into a conversation between two friends about what finding freedom from a destructive relationship has looked like and the life (and light) that lies on the other side of bravely seeking wholeness.

This episode has quickly become a fan favorite from the life of this podcast so far. It couldn't fit more perfectly in this Christmas season as we remember the way that Jesus came to earth and Stephanie's testimony beautifully describes the way that Jesus is still working in real life.
In this episode, Steph tells her story of coming to know Jesus. It's unlike anything I have ever heard before. Aspects of her story that she shares are real and raw, so just a gentle warning that this episode does include mention of sexual abuse, suicide and self harm – however, you can trust that Steph carries these topics well and nothing is over-sensationalized.
What you will get from this conversation is exactly what we hoped for – Jesus. Getting to see first hand what Jesus looks like in the midst of a real life and what difference the Holy Spirit makes.
Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) – "'No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is from me,' says the Lord."

Throughout the day we engage in multiple kinds of conversations – with co-workers, friends, family, baristas, cashiers – and the truth is that some conversations feel more engaging than others. But we all want someone to pay attention to us. Peter Nittler is a college pastor at UC Davis and was recommended to the podcast for a concept he calls middle talk. The essence of middle talk is to make genuine connections within conversations and recognize that everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions.

While almost all of us would say we want to be friends with God, actually forming a relationship like that – especially in seasons of wilderness – can feel elusive. I think Faith Eury Cho sums up this conversation (and points to her new book) perfectly saying, "This is for the one who wants a real relationship with Presence of God, one that goes beyond feel-good platitudes and momentary inspiration." The hope is that this conversation begins to remove some of the barriers that block our connection with God.

Dr. Cassie Reid is an (incredible) licensed professional counselor in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with over 13 years of experience encouraging clients to openly share and seek answers for peace and healing in any area of struggle. And that's exactly what today's episode is – one big, recorded therapy session together. In our conversation, I asked Cassie about different topics of life that feel challenging personally in this season. We discuss the emotional and psychological effects of financial strain, unpack an understanding of what deconstruction can look like, and talk through how to navigate friendships well in your 20s and 30s. This is an episode you won't want to miss – especially if you've been meaning to make that therapy appointment and haven't quite gotten around to it yet.

Bronwyn Lea is a brilliant speaker and writer with a contagious laugh that you will catch a few times in this conversation. What I love about Bronwyn is that she communicates about God in a way that relates to real life and she casts a vision for loving our neighbor that feels possible in whatever context or community we call home. In this episode, we talk about what is beyond the awkward side hugs and flying under the radar as the incognito neighbor – how we can love well the people around us in everyday life as followers of Jesus. This episode is for everyone.

Landon Hairgrove and I spoke at the same student event in Oklahoma City recently and as I sat in the back of the room listening to him give the message he had prepared I was blown away. Even though that moment was cultivated with middle and high school students in mind, I resonated deeply with the invitation to close the gap of distance that may have formed between us and Jesus. Beyond that, having Landon on this podcast exceeded all my expectations. He is the pastor of Oasis City Church in Boise, Idaho and in this episode introduces us to his beautiful family – Brooke, Arrow, Ezra and Kaia. This is one of those conversations I am confident I'll listen to on repeat.

Catherine McNiel writes about finding God in the real world we live in daily calling these observations "everyday epiphanies." Examples include what we learn about life from the changing seasons, how gardening can connect community, and motherhood as a spiritual discipline (AKA when you don't have much quiet or time in your days). In this conversation, we talk through all of this plus what human interaction looks like during this slice of history and how to engage neighbors, strangers, and enemies well. I think you'll love it.

Our bodies frequently feel like a problem to be solved. That if we just "did better" or "tried harder" we could look like and attain the picture we have in mind. I've battled my own body as it has changed throughout my 20s and it became especially disorienting after experiencing two miscarriages over the last year. That's when I met Kristen Bunger. Kristen is a registered dietitian who believes that healing our relationship with food is one of the most important aspects of health for any person. She has experience working with children, adolescents and adults with eating disorders, hematology, and oncology diagnoses. Our conversation today centers on all things nutrition and health by reframing the way we think about our bodies and finding ways to win with our expectations and health goals.

Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author, and spoken word artist helping everyday people know Jesus for real and live with purpose. I was introduced to Hosanna when I was a volunteer with Propel Women and was instantly drawn to the raw and approachable way she teaches truth about having a relationship with God. So when she said yes to come on the podcast, I was BEYOND excited. In this conversation, Hosanna underlines lies that we often believe and describes how to unlock a fresh way to live by looking at the rhythms of Jesus in a way that's shockingly practical.

It is no secret that my all-time favorite person is my husband, Scott Dutton – and it turns out he is a favorite guest for a lot of you too! Today marks five years married (YAY!) and while Scott typically prefers to stay behind the camera and off the mic, I convinced him to come back for another catch-up conversation. In this episode, we walk through memorable moments from our wedding day five years ago, talk openly about where we are at with our hopes of becoming parents, and Scott throws out a subtle movie quote challenge. Love this man so much. This podcast quite literally wouldn't exist without him.

There are a few people I've met over the years that I was immediately drawn to and my friend, Stephanie Cardamone, is one of those magnetic people. Even so, I had no idea how our few years together would parallel in such powerful ways. Plus, she's been on my dream guest list for the podcast since the beginning. In this episode, Steph tells her story of coming to know Jesus. It's unlike anything I have ever heard before. Aspects of her story that she shares are real and raw, so just a gentle warning that this episode does include mention of sexual abuse, suicide and self harm – however, you can trust that Steph carries these topics well and nothing is over-sensationalized.
What you will get from this conversation is exactly what we hoped for – Jesus. Getting to see first hand what Jesus looks like in the midst of a real life and what difference the Holy Spirit makes.

Over the last few years health and fitness have been an aspect of my life that I've struggled with. It has been challenging to overcome unhelpful mindsets and habits PLUS adjust to a body that is changing with age – all while navigating the overflow of information that's out there. After Scott and I moved back to our hometown in September, I tried out a local gym and finally found my place. Matt and Tamara Garner are co-owners of Solcioty Fitness and have become like personal coaches to me in this season.

Rachael Krouse has been one of my close friends for the last thirteen years and we have seen each other through multiple seasons. Graduating high school, navigating college, stepping into adulthood and starting our families – we have met many versions of ourselves. In this conversation, we talk candidly about Rachael's recovery from addiction. As someone in active recovery, as well as a mental health professional, Rachael speaks to misconceptions about addiction and what the best form of support for a loved one in recovery looks like as she shares her own story.
If you are struggling with your own addiction, we encourage you to find a trusted person to confide in to take your first steps toward recovery. Our heart is that if you take anything from this episode, it is that hope and restoration is possible and can start today.

Caitlyn Baten, and her husband Tim, started the process to become foster parents over two years ago and I have learned so much about what foster care and adoption looks like on a day-to-day basis through them. In this episode, Caitlyn tells their story of the two girls they have welcomed into their home so far, plus what she's learned along the way such as what not to say to foster parents, recognizing a hero complex, and supporting biological families well. Foster care is for everyone – even if you aren't the one with children in your home which we explore in this conversation together. And to top it off, May is National Foster Care Month so we couldn't have (unintentionally) timed this episode any more perfectly.

Noah and Andrea Ramos pastor Zoe Church in Sofia, Bulgaria and I love the story of how they found home there. I have been a big fan of the bits and pieces I've learned over the last few years about this family and what they are seeing in Europe. After this conversation, I am even more blown away by how God leads us step by step into places of partnership with what he is doing on earth. Noah and Andrea are a beautiful example of where saying "yes" can lead – plus, as you'll hear, they do it all with a lightness and joy that is contagious.

Dr. Barbara Wilson is a licensed clinical psychologist, Doctor of clinical psychology, author, speaker and the founder of Freedom Bound Communications, an organization that brings healing and hope to those with a sexual past. Her practice and resources are dedicated to walking men and women through an empirically-based, trauma-focused approach for healing from past abuse, sexual trauma and destructive relationships. As we mention in our conversation, it is likely that by age 18 most of us have experienced some form of trauma, hurt or harmful narrative within physical intimacy – and I love that Dr. Wilson extends the practical invitation that hope and healing is available for all.

Jamie Swank is one of the most influential people I've had in my life so far. You'll hear us talk about this in our conversation, but she stepped in as a mentor/family to me in a uniquely challenging season years ago – and she's continued to care for me well through this one. There is much to love about Jamie, but a few things I appreciate most that you'll get to see for yourself are her thoughtfulness in life, curiosity to learn, the way she shows others they are worth loving, and her honesty with God. My hope is that this episode feels like you are pulling up a chair to one of our infamous dinner dates (God Bless Texas Roadhouse) where we talk about good reads and what we're learning in our slice of life lately.

Whether it be a maxed out Google calendar, constant email, app and text notifications, or the literal speed limit we push as we rush from one place to another to keep up with our schedule – we are all well aware of the speed that we typically live our days. This conversation with one of my favorite professors, Dr. Robert Gallagher, comes from an assignment he took our cohort through in grad school. What does it look like to intentionally pump the brakes in life during the day or week? What are examples of the spiritual practice of slowing down and how do our lives (and relationships) benefit from this intentional but countercultural choice?

Carrie and Rob Strickland are a huge part of Scott and I's origin story. Her husband, Rob, is the pastor of Highland Community Church and together they minister to a specific community here in Columbus, Georgia. In this episode, Carrie tells the story of how they found themselves leading this particular church and what led to their decision to fully immerse their family by living in the community with the heart of becoming neighbors, not commuters. I love Carrie's honesty, hope, clear vision, and that anyone who encounters her is better – and more loved – than before. Prepare to fall in love with Highland Community!

Aubrey Sampson is an actual delight of a human being and the best kind of friend to have when it feels like the bottom falls out on life. She has been present for some of my most painful seasons of grief and loss because she has known her own hard places. Aubrey says, "what I have discovered in these dark night of the soul seasons is that God does not expect his children to act like our pain doesn’t exist or pretend we are okay. Whether you are facing a new diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, or some other trial, we can actually find real (not pretend) hope." This conversation is exactly that – a practice in facing big feelings (grief, loss, questioning) and finding God's persistent and close-proximity peace in the middle of it all.

Welcome to another episode with just me! Let's catch up on what life has looked like lately, plus I want to share something that has been rattling around my mind. Basically it comes down to this thought – I know the name my parents gave me, I know the ways people in my life describe me, I'm familiar with the characteristics I identify myself with, but what name did God give my life before any parade of days came to be? And from that place of true origin, what does setting goals, hopes and expectations look like from who I was intentionally created to be vs. solely off of the places of progress (or applause) I see in my life.

Dating and relationships can feel like a mystery (at best) and a total miss (at worst). Whether you are swiping through apps trying to find your perfect match or are in a committed relationship that you want to keep alive and well, we can all use a little advice from a professional. Ale Siekmeier is a life coach and founder of The Nett, a boutique Christian Matchmaking Company based in New York City. What I love about Ale is that she lives out what she preaches wholeheartedly as she cares about and curates quality connections. Regardless if you are single, dating, or married I am confident you'll be encouraged by this conversation.

I love in this episode when Holly shares that creating a beautiful home is meant to be a tool vs. a trophy. While I am a sucker for all things home design, I hope that my space serves a bigger purpose than being beautiful to look at. I would rather my home (or any space around me I cultivate) exist as an avenue for hospitality to make others feel welcome and important. Holly's Instagram account Shorehaven Home has quite the following, but what I love most is the heartbeat behind what she creates. This episode isn't just for those who have an affinity for interior design – it's for anyone who hopes to invite and encourage others with their lives.

Spending time with Ann Voskamp is incredibly refreshing and the way she talks about God – describing her observations of the Holy Spirit's interaction in our everyday life – is contagious. Ann is a New York Time's Best Seller for a few of her books linked below, but she feels most at home on her family's farm in Canada tending to her sheep (literally). She is a farmer's wife, mother, author, learner, and became a special friend in my life over this last season in a significant way. This conversation covers a lot of ground, but I am confident you'll walk away filled with encouragement about what the Lord really thinks about you.

This January I did something I have never done before. Read the Bible cover-to-cover... in thirty days. Even though I've been a Christian since I was 14, I had honestly only read the Bible in bits and pieces with many unsuccessful attempts at reading in its entirety all the way through. So when I saw this plan (The Shred) by Nathan Finochio I thought to give it a try. Here's what I'll say – it was a massive challenge, but not impossible at all. This episode is with just me sharing what these thirty days looked like, how the plan works, and a few of my favorite observations.
Here is a link to the 30-day Bible reading plan (called The Shred by Nathan Finochio) including tips for making it through to the end. HIGHLY recommend!

In this episode, you'll hear about what Sara calls her morning routine and how to set your own, encouragement for setting goals that stick, sailing stories, and a little marriage and parenting advice. This time with Sara genuinely felt like the two of us sitting in her beautiful home chatting, so take a seat and join in!

BJ Thompson is an absolute legend and, truth be told, this conversation felt like a one-on-one coaching session (that you get to listen to). BJ was behind one of the largest Christian movements in modern history (the 116 Movement) that reached millions of people. He has continued as a coach, author (Awaken a Better You: 4 Simple Steps to Create the Life You Want), executive director for a nonprofit (Build a Better Us) all alongside his gorgeous family living in Atlanta, Georgia. BJ's goal is to help individuals step into all that God can do in us and then coach on how to release that into the world around us. In this episode we talk about what observations BJ has about this generation, why change is so hard, how to make the most of being single, and what it looks like to live an awake life.
Be ready, because this episode will have you running laps around your room and ready to change the world.

This is part two of a two-week episode series that I hope expands our understanding of what the Bible has to say about women. Last week, we set the stage with God's intention in the creation of women (ezer kenegdo) and how that is reflected throughout scripture. Today, we dive into specifics about what this practically looks like for women in 2023 – including women in a variety of life seasons and what this means for women in leadership/the church.

Our interpretation of what the Bible has to say about who women are, what a woman's purpose is and our roles in society, church, leadership, family and communities is often unclear at best and destructive at worst. Dana Bort and Sherri Brown led a Biblical Womanhood Retreat that I had the privilege of attending for a few years and their perspective of what God thinks about women was very different from the assumptions I thought I knew. This is part one of a two-week episode series that I hope expands your understanding of what the Bible has to say about women – throughout history and in 2023.

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes we have created so far in the life of this podcast! This episode features a mentor/hero/inspiration of mine named Lisa Jennett – who we affectionately call Sunshine. She is the creator of Cheers and Amen and during Scott and I's time in Texas, the small group we were a part of that met in her home was what felt the most like family to us. Since then, Sunshine and her husband, Tank, have become even more dear to us.
Please enjoy this re-release of one of my favorite conversations so far, Cheers + Amen with Lisa Jennett (Sunshine).

Kelly Streiff has a strong voice of encouragement and hope for everyone, but especially those who resonate with the loss of a child. The two of us have been connected for years through sharing a similar passion and practice of speaking, but over the last six months our stories connected in a deeper way. What I love about Kelly is that she is clear about the pain she has experienced, but she is equally – if not more – bold about the hope, goodness, and life that is still available to us even in the middle of the story. This episode has already been a life source for me in this season and I believe it will speak right to where you are too.

Dr. Emily McGowin is one of my favorite professors from my graduate program at Wheaton. She is brilliant and has a gift for discussing theological truths in a way that intersects with real, everyday life. She portrays truth about God with clarity while holding tension for how that is reflected this side of eternity. I distinctly remember the conversations from class continuing on over dinner and into the evenings with my cohort while we metabolized the rich theological concepts from class that day – which is exactly what this episode felt like. Dr. Emily McGowin is an Assistant Professor of Theology at Wheaton College, she serves as priest in the Anglican Church of North America, as well as a writer and speaker alongside being a wife and mother of three (ages 13, 12, and 9).

A little head's up for anyone listening whose heart feels tender towards miscarriage, this episode includes Scott and I's story with our second pregnancy loss.
From that disclaimer, you will know that this episode shares our recent experience with losing our second pregnancy. Alongside where we are at with everything, I wanted to take space to talk through some of my thoughts and hopes here. Even though we are heartbroken we feel so much love from our friends and family, as well as a sense of peace with the Lord. We're expectant while we continue to wait to be expecting. Thank you in advance for your kindness to us. My heart is with anyone who is walking into the holidays this year holding the loss of a loved one – especially a little life you were expecting.

Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore co-authored a beautiful book together called Liturgies for Hope: Sixty Prayers for the Highs, the Lows, and Everything in Between. This book was born out of navigating life in New York City in 2020 while the city was known as the epicenter for the pandemic. But these words reach beyond quarantine and speak specifically into life today with words like, "A Liturgy For Those in Need of a Good Cry", "A Liturgy For a Lunch Break", and "A Liturgy For Those Who Haven't Belly Laughed Recently".
Honestly for myself, listening to this conversation that we recorded a few weeks ago miraculously speaks into my today in a way I couldn't have imagined. You'll love this book – without a doubt – and you'll adore the authors after this conversation.

We all struggle with the fear of loss – whether that be the loss of a person, job, relationship, dream, health, or season. For me, sometimes the fear of losing something I love can actively impact the way that I live. So what happens when your greatest fear becomes reality? I admire Lori Apon for so many reasons, but listening to her story paired with her belief in this episode is both raw and inspiring. Lori has navigated significant loss in her life and somehow discovered God's goodness and truth more deeply in the midst of it all.

I met Jordan Nations eight summers ago when we were on staff at WinShape Camps. At the time we were both college students, excited to be at camp, and equally intimidated and eager to be communicating the Gospel to the campers. So earlier this summer when I ran into Jordan while I was speaking at that same camp's staff training and we talked about his first book, Not Home Yet, I couldn't wait to have him on the podcast. In this episode, you'll hear Jordan share what the writing process has looked like and a few of his favorite stories from the chapters... plus a middle schooler's "your mom" joke that commanded an entire room and his real-time Instagram feud with Jordan Nations 2.0.

As a Christian, my relationship with the Bible has felt complicated at times. To be honest, I have often felt defeated that I haven't done enough to cultivate time and attention towards the Word on a daily basis. This rhythm and relationship has been on my mind a lot recently. This episode is me sharing bits of encouragement I've learned that is helping me fall back in love with the Bible.
**Spoiler Alert: you don't have to be a "good person" or at a certain place to your life as a qualification to approach the Bible.

I know you are going to fall in love with her too. In this conversation Mika shares the story of her and her husband, Josh, as well lessons learned as a mom to six kiddos. My favorite part of this episode though is the way that Mika confidently and calmly communicates what the grace, mercy and goodness of God looks like in real life.

Whether you identify as a Christian or not, these days the idea that "it is cool to be kind" is king. Especially with so much raging in the world around us – an encouraging word, selfless act, or demonstration of love makes the headlines. I couldn't imagine a better person to talk about this than my amazing friend, Annie Laurie Jacobs who works for one of the most incredible organizations (Love Does) and for one of the most inspirational people around (Bob Goff). Annie Laurie shares how Love Does seeks to be love in action to people around the world and she also talks about what love can look like in our own neighborhood.

Saturday, July 30th is World Day Against Trafficking In Persons so I thought would share about the work I have the privilege to do with A21, a global anti-human trafficking organization, as well as introduce you to one my heroes in the movement, Angie De Luna. Angie serves as A21's Development Coordinator for Reach in Central America. This episode also includes information about potential indicators of human trafficking and first steps for freedom in your own family and community.

Neal Johnson is a writer, director and master storyteller who creates some of the most compelling content I have seen. He is an absolute genius and has won multiple awards, including a Telly Award! Literally even the videos he captures of his golden retriever, Rose, are beautiful (as seen here). I knew I wanted to have Neal on the podcast because I admire his creativity and appreciate how he navigates telling difficult stories – like the reality of human trafficking – in a hope-filled, action-motivating way. Grateful for the way that Neal invites us into his creative process and inspires all of us to tell our best stories.

I JUST TURNED THIRTY! And so far all I've heard is that your thirties are your best years yet. This year for my birthday episode, I had an idea to record an interview and a year from now I'll answer the same questions – kind of like the epic Billie Eilish: Same Interview, Fifth Year video by Vanity Fair. If anything, it will give you a glimpse into what my life looks like right now, plus it's a way for me to think through the year just lived and look forward to the one ahead.

It is no surprise that I think the world of my husband, Scott Dutton – and if you have met him, I bet he is one of your favorite people too. Scott has that kind of effect on people. He makes whoever he meets feel seen, understood, and valued. So for as long as this podcast exists and I can continue convincing him to record, you will likely keep hearing from Scott. This episode gives a little bit more of Scott's background, his thoughts on change, dreams for the future, and one unbelievable high-speed chase story.

This conversation was originally recorded before Scott and I left for our big trip in April – which if you listened to the last episode Her Name is Hosanna, you know went way differently than we expected. To honor what was happening at that time and to give myself the space I needed, this episode wasn't released. But I thought to bring it back now as a bonus episode! These 30 minutes are filled with stories of change in my own life, temptations I typically face during transition, and lessons I've learned about making the most of shifting seasons.

How to hear God's voice is one of the biggest questions I've had in my relationship with God – as well as one of the frequent questions I've heard friends share. Is it an audible voice that you hear? Is it a vision you see with your eyes or in your mind like a daydream? Is hearing God's voice reserved for the especially holy people who don't skip a "quiet time"? In this episode, the first thing you'll recognize as you listen to Paige Henderson is that her love and life with God is 100% authentic. The next is that the way she walks us through what practically knowing God and how listening for His voice works is massively encouraging – making God feel a lot more approachable.

Paris Murphy is a new friend and when we first connected to chat through what this episode could focus on, all the things that come with being a mom became the clear winner. Scott and I don't have any kiddos of our own yet, BUT even if you aren't in the motherhood space don't tune out this episode. Paris also talks about her experience growing up as a pastor's kid, her life-changing encounter with a child in a community in Uganda, and the not-so-perfect reality of raising children – including being a stepmom. Wherever you're at, I think you'll love this conversation.

If you have learned anything listening to these podcast episodes so far, it is that I am a direct reflection of the many incredible people I have had the opportunity to know. My first professional supervisor – Eric Turner – is no exception. Even as I've transitioned out of my first full-time job and onto a new organization, I find myself quoting leadership lessons I learned from Eric constantly. Eric serves as the Director of Operations for Impact 360 Institute. He's an incredible storyteller, intentional champion of others, and life-changing leader that I can't wait for you to meet.
Impact 360 Institute exists to cultivate leaders who follow Jesus. Whether through high school student programs (Propel and Immersion), the college gap year program (Fellows) or the Masters Program – I can't say enough that this place changed my life in the best possible way.

Mental health is something that our generation talks about pretty openly these days – but to be honest, many of us still have a lot of questions. Whether it's how to manage our own mental health struggles or what it looks like to support a friend or family member. Dr. Cassie Reid is a licensed professional counselor in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She has had her own practice for the last 12 years and in this episode we are talking all things mental. Dr. Cassie Reid shares practical tips for improving our mental health, normalizing counseling, the synthesis of clinical and spiritual health (Cassie's words, not mine), plus a bit about church hurt and its affect on our mental wellbeing.

HELLO and welcome to 2022! Yes, I realize it is currently January 20th so most people are well into their new year. BUT, my year hasn't had a super clean start from when the clock struck midnight on January 1st (maybe you can relate). This episode we chat through what has happened in my life since we were together on our last released episode, what you can expect in the months to come on the podcast, and my thoughts on this new year. Spoiler alert, this is not a perfectly prepped list of resolutions or even a "word" for the year.

This week in the US we are headed into Thanksgiving which kicks off one of my favorite times of the year – THE HOLIDAYS! You have heard me say this over and over on this podcast, but I could not be more thankful for the people in my life. So today I thought I would introduce you to three of the most important women in my life – my best friends. This episode features Lindsey Aldridge, Bekah McDonald and Hannah Purdie and together we talk about how we met, what friendship has looked like over the years, and what we see God doing in each other's lives.
I feel like this episode will not only introduce you to my a few of my closest friends, but will also help you get to know me a bit better. Plus, one of us mixes up our words and accidentally says "shart" in the episode so listen all the way through to experience that magical moment.

I have a friend named Hannah DeVries who had her world turned upside down right after her 27th birthday when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. The whole reason I wanted to have Hannah on the podcast was because I had the privilege to follow along on her cancer treatment journey and the way she wrapped words around what she was experiencing being both honest and hope-filled was stunning. This conversation with Hannah DeVries tells her story and gives a glimpse into the thoughts, lessons and experiences she has had along the way. Prepare to be both majorly challenged and inspired! I know you'll love it.

You will hear a specific story in this episode, but my friend Elise Griffin and I have shared a lot of creative spaces over the years which has made way for opportunities for collaborate – but in all transparency – can easily breed competition and comparison at times too. That's probably true for most of us, especially when it comes to something we are excited to create, launch, or promote. It is easy (and sometimes seamless) how we can slip into a competitive or comparative mindset with others. In this episode, Elise and I share a real-time story of our friendship navigating this journey as fellow podcast peoples, talk candidly about what that process was like, and explore what alternative options we have to choose from in order to step towards encouragement.

Lisa Jennett (aka Sunshine) is someone that was at the top of my list when I dreamed big about future podcast guests. Little did I know she would actually say YES and come on the podcast so soon! One of the most compelling things about Lisa has to be the stories she tells and the words she wraps around the way she sees life. Lisa owns her own landscaping company here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that grew up out of a challenging season in her life as a single mom. Years later, she is now married to Tank (one of Scott's favorite people in the world) and they have both been a highlight for us during our chapter here in Texas – which you'll hear more about in the episode. She's also written a book called, When I Last Saw Me: The Memoir of Sammi Bass that you'll love.
Lisa has a business called Cheers + Amen that exists to empower good ideas and encourage people with what is created (linked below) and this episode embodies that heartbeat through and through. Happy to introduce you to a woman who I admire greatly!

Over that last four years I have had the privilege of being a graduate student in the first-ever Propel Women cohort as a part of the Wheaton College Master's Program. As a cohort of 20 women, we have been pursuing a Master's Degree in Evangelism and Leadership. I am amazed at all I have learned and the community of women I have gained as a student in this program. After wrapping our very last class recently, I thought it would be fun to invite Taylor Carlier and Aubrey Sampson, two incredible friends I have met through this program, to talk a bit about our experience together. So if you are interested in continuing your education somehow, curious about the Propel Women + Wheaton College Graduate Program specifically, or just looking to listen in on a conversation with friends – you'll enjoy this episode.

What would our world look like if people were simply raised to be kind? Today, I have the honor of introducing you to one of my closest friends, Kelsey MacMinn, as she discusses what she's learned about raising kind humans (and being one). Kelsey has her master's degree in clinical psychology and has served as a director for a daycare the last three years, plus she has two toddlers of her own with her amazing husband, Ben. Whether you have children of your own or you're the cool aunt/uncle—this episode is one of my favorites so far.

Bonus episodes will be about 10-15 minutes which makes them the perfect length for listening to while you drive to the grocery store, walk your dog, or brush your teeth.

Kylie White shares her story and highlights a few of the plot twists along the way that have prompted a shift in perspective. Plot twists and reorienting perspective is certainly something we can all relate to over the last 12+ months (and beyond). In this conversation, Kylie shares what it has practically looked like to find more in her faith, family, and everyday life. I can't wait for you to listen to this incredible story.

Wow, wow, wow. Each podcast episode starts with a plan and every interview comes with a list of prepared questions, but this conversation exceeded all expectations. This episode of the More with Nikki Dutton Podcast features Melodie Malone from Passion Music and focuses on worship: what is worship, how to worship well after one "unprecedented" year at home, and how to reignite your personal space of worship if it feels dry. Melodie Malone is one of the worship leaders with Passion Music, and for the last few years, has been one of the lead voices at the Passion Conference. In this conversation, you get a glimpse of who Melodie is one-on-one—which is completely true to who she is when she is leading on stage.

We all had hopes that at 12:01am on January 1, 2021 we would magically step out of the change and challenges of the last year. Like, straight-up fairy godmother disappear. Yet, here we are at the end of January and many of us are still sorting through the effects of the last 12+ months. This episode is not a rant on 2020 but it is an attempt to wrap language around the toll that this collective experience of the last year has had and gives thought about what the next steps of moving forward could be.

The holidays can be "the most wonderful time of the year", but they can also be filled with heartache and challenge for many of us. If anything, maybe your Christmas this year doesn't look like the picture-perfect Christmas card you had in mind (ours doesn't).

Maybe "more" isn't always in adding additional activity to our life or signing up for one more commitment. Finding the "more" we want out of our lives, relationships and space may actually be found by turning down the noise and creating space. So why do we avoid moments of quiet, stillness and solitude? Let's look at "less is more" together.
