After three and a half incredible years, God has called me to step away from the Faith Inspired Podcast. It’s a bittersweet moment—filled with peace yet touched with sadness. Through a candid Q&A, I reflect on the highs and lows of this journey, what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and why obedience to God’s leading sometimes means saying goodbye, even when it doesn’t make sense. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. It has been an honor and privilege to do life with you!

We’re continuing our series featuring amazing Christian women podcasters I deeply respect. I’m excited to feature Liv Dooley and The Best Kept Secret Podcast. Liv is a Bible teacher passionate about helping people enjoy greater intimacy and authority in Jesus and has been a featured contributor with She Reads Truth and the YouVersion Bible app. Liv never shies away from the Truth of God’s Word, and that’s why I love The Best Kept Secret Podcast. Liv tells it like it is with outstanding guests who feel just as passionate about unearthing the world’s lies while shining a light on what is True. In this episode, Liv talks with Becky Beresford the author of “She Believed He Could, So She Did,” about trading culture’s lie of self-empowerment for Christ-centered empowerment. They discuss how, as Christians, we need to think critically about the messages we’re accepting and adopting from the culture so that we can ensure they don’t impede our ability to enjoy contentment. I know it will encourage you to find contentment and joy where you are today. So, without further ado, here’s Liv Dooley with Becky Beresford on The Best Kept Secret Podcast.

I am excited to reintroduce an episode as part of our series “Embracing God-Sized Joy Amidst Life’s Challenges.” This episode has been a lifeline for me over the past year as I navigated a season of waiting for what’s next. It reminded me that living in the wait is possible and essential.
Waiting is something we all experience. Sometimes, our seasons of waiting are brief, and other times, they stretch on much longer than we’d hoped. In these times, it’s easy to find ourselves just waiting instead of truly living the life God has given us.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Vande Kieft, a speaker and bestselling author of Living in the Wait: How to Use the Delays in Life Differently. Melissa’s journey with waiting and discovering purpose began after an unexpected season of waiting. Even though her faith was challenged, her drive to make the most of the middle kicked into high gear. Through her experience, she encourages women to be brave and discover the details God is orchestrating through each life experience.
Listen in as Melissa and I discuss how you don’t have to wait for your breakthrough to live your life to the fullest. You’ll discover how to experience the transformative potential and purpose your season of waiting holds for your life.
Whether you listened to this episode before or missed it the first time, I know it will give you the encouragement and hope you need while you live in the wait!

I’m thrilled to reintroduce an episode that’s incredibly close to my heart, as part of our series “Embracing God-Sized Joy Amidst Life’s Challenges.”
Whenever someone asks me about my favorite podcast episode, I always point them to this one. Not just because I had the incredible honor of interviewing my faith hero, Susie Larson, but because this conversation helped me break through a dark period of my life and shatter the chains of a spiritual attack.
Whether you listened to this episode before or missed it the first time, I know it will give you the encouragement and hope you need for the battles you face now and ahead.
Episode Recap:
The presence of God is real because our God is real. He is ever-present in our times of joy and in our times of sorrow. But what do you do when He seems distant? What do you do when you face a trial or an attack from the Enemy that feels so deep you can barely breathe? Susie Larson is one of my heroes of the faith. She has walked many trials and battled many attacks to know and understand the Enemy’s evil schemes. In her book, Closer Than Your Next Breath: Where Is God When You Need Him Most?, Susie helps readers experience God’s trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. She states that our trials and triumphs are packed with opportunities that impact eternity and that God knows how to extract lies from our belief systems while preserving our precious hearts. God was so very good to me to orchestrate this conversation with Susie as I was in the midst of an attack from the Enemy. After our conversation, I walked away feeling like God loved me right where I was and supplied me with the tools of the mind and heart I needed to continue to walk step by step in His presence. So listen in as Susie and I break through the lies of the Enemy and fully grasp what it means to have the presence of God closer than your next breath.

We are created in the image of a multifaceted God. So why do we think our majestic God would make us any different? To believe that there are only one or two dimensions to us or the callings He may place on our lives is a little silly. We’re built for many “such a time as this” moments with the numerous hats we wear. Meredith Boggs is an author, mom, critical care transport nurse, and sexual assault forensic nurse examiner. She is a multifaceted soul who wears numerous hats with grace. When thinking about interviewing Meredith, I could have gone in many directions, but the most interesting Holy Spirit-led thought was for Meredith to share her intriguing roles in life and how faith is woven into every aspect of her life. From being a devoted mom to navigating the intricate world of forensic nursing, her faith serves as a guiding light in it all. So, join Meredith and me as we uncover the beauty of faith interwoven in every role we embody, discover how we can maintain harmony amidst life’s varied callings, and how to have your faith influence all you do.

Life is chock full of ups and downs, and I’ve realized that sometimes, our worst day is meant for the greatest good. This was the case for my guests, Sheri Geoffreys and Gina Gallagher, co-founders of Yonder, a visionary brand dedicated to clean collagen products. Sheri’s resilience after battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma led her to discover the power of natural healing, emphasizing the role of whole foods and pure, clean collagen peptides. Meanwhile, Gina’s fight against Interstitial Cystitis and subsequent gut damage fueled her passion for nutrition and wellness. Their experiences became a catalyst for Yonder, a brand born from personal healing journeys and out of God’s goodness and redemption. Sheri and Gina’s experiences drove them to create a company not just about the products but a vibrant community fostering healthier, happier lives that are committed to quality and purity when others in the marketplace choose a different route. Their story is more than business—it’s about integrity, personal connection, and glorifying God. So listen in as Sheri and Gina discuss how they’ve navigated their journey, guided by faith and integrity while empowering others towards vibrant and nourishing lifestyles.

What do you do when life hits you with a curveball, a worst-case scenario thought that becomes a reality? Heidi Lee Anderson, the author of “P.S. It’s Gonna Be Good,” knows a thing or two about facing life’s curveballs. Heidi’s story took a powerful turn as she faced a cancer diagnosis ten years ago. In this episode, Heidi and I dive into the topic of facing the curveballs life throws at us—the worst-case scenarios that become our reality and how Scripture can answer our questions about faith, fear, and those daunting “what ifs.” We also dive into how to keep living without fear looming over you, what it means to trust in God’s greater plan, and how knowing the future might impact our present choices. In our world of rising anxiety, Heidi guides us through these questions, helping us find peace, confidence, and freedom in God’s Word, reassuring us that, “P.S. It’s gonna be good.”

We all know that being a parent is a privilege and responsibility like no other. As Christian moms, we're not just shaping human beings but eternal souls. And that's where our greatest superpower comes into play: prayer. In this episode, Sharon Jaynes, author of Praying for Your Child from Head to Toe: A 30-Day Guide to Powerful and Effective Scripture-Based Prayer, takes us through sixteen essential areas of our child's life, from their thoughts to their burdens, from their gifts to the path ahead. Imagine being able to pray for your child's mind, eyes, ears, shoulders, gifts, and relationships with intention and confidence. Sharon's unique head-to-toe pattern makes prayer a natural habit that we can infuse into our daily lives.

Community and unity are, in essence, a part of Christianity’s DNA. So collaborations and partnerships should come at ease for Christians. However, that's not always the case. Pride can often rear its ugly head, creating strife and tension in areas where unity is desired. Amy Cedrone and Catherine Gates are no strangers to collaborations. When God told them a permanent partnership was needed through the merger of their two organizations, they knew the first step they needed to take to have prayer and peace trump pride each step of the way. In this episode, Amy and Catherine share their story of combining their two organizations into one, how they have managed to tame the messy parts along with their pride, and how they’ve put unity and shared values first to create a partnership like no other. So listen in if you want to hear the impact collaborations and partnerships can have on your mission and goals, the benefits of collaboration and working together as a body within the Christian community, and the practical steps to initiate collaboration with like-minded organizations or individuals.

We live in an age where information is all around us. With so much coming at us, it’s more important than ever to pursue God’s Word in a world full of half-truths or shreds of truth, as guest Angie Goetz, the Director of Bridging the Gap, states. So, how can we discern the messages echoing fragments of biblical truth from what the Bible says is true? In this episode, Angie and I dive into real-life examples of cultural messages that might seem true but veer from the Bible’s true meaning. We dive into the impact of scriptural misinterpretation and how to tackle misinformation of biblical truth in an era where everyone has a message to say. If you’re overwhelmed by the vastness of God’s Word or disheartened by distorted messages, listen in for a dose of encouragement and inspiration to rekindle your pursuit of the Word of God and combat those shreds of truth messages head-on.

God is a God of surprises. For example, one would think a CEO of a planner company would be inherently organized. But that’s not the case for Polly Payne, the CEO of Horacio Printing. God took her chaos and mess and helped her not only overcome her schedule but also create a company that impacts thousands every year with her Dream Planner and other beautiful print products. In this episode, Polly shares her journey of entrepreneurship. She highlights the importance of embracing her imperfections, the valuable lessons she has learned through her wins and failures, and how she has learned that having a loose grip on her business and giving everything to God has created significant gains for her relationship with Him and the impact of her business has on others. So listen in to hear Polly’s story and how faith and Christian values are pivotal in business and life.

The presence of God is real because our God is real. He is ever-present in our times of joy and in our times of sorrow. But what do you do when He seems distant? What do you do when you face a trial or an attack from the Enemy that feels so deep you can barely breathe?
Susie Larson is one of my heroes of the faith. She has walked many trials and battled many attacks to know and understand the Enemy's evil schemes. In her book, Closer Than Your Next Breath: Where Is God When You Need Him Most?, Susie helps readers experience God's trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. She states that our trials and triumphs are packed with opportunities that impact eternity and that God knows how to extract lies from our belief systems while preserving our precious hearts.
God was so very good to me to orchestrate this conversation with Susie as I was in the midst of an attack from the Enemy. After our conversation, I walked away feeling like God loved me right where I was and supplied me with the tools of the mind and heart I needed to continue to walk step by step in His presence.
So listen in as Susie and I break through the lies of the Enemy and fully grasp what it means to have the presence of God closer than your next breath.

Waiting is something we all experience. Sometimes our seasons of waiting are brief, and other times they are much longer than we’d hoped. In seasons of waiting, we can find ourselves doing just that, waiting and not living the life God has given us.
Melissa Vande Kieft is a speaker and bestselling author of Living in the Wait: How to Use the Delays in Life Differently. Her journey with waiting and discovering purpose began after encountering an unexpected season of waiting. Even though her faith was challenged, her drive to make the most of the middle kicked into high gear. Through her experience, she encourages women to be brave to discover the details God is orchestrating and designing through each life experience.
Listen in as Melissa and I discuss how you don’t have to wait for your breakthrough in the wait to live your life to the fullest and how you can experience the transformative potential and purpose your season of waiting holds for your life.

Do you hear from God clearly? Do you understand the ways in which He can speak to you? If your answer is no to one or both of these questions, it’s okay. There’s no secret to connecting and hearing from God, but there are ways you can intentionally seek Him and look for Him that can change your life and relationship with God. In this episode, we talk about how you can position yourself to connect with God instead of feeling like it's a one-way street and how you can effectively connect with God and hear from Him clearly and regularly. Remember, God is eagerly waiting for you to hear His gentle whispers. The responsibility lies with you to listen and tune your ears and heart to the Lord. Let's explore how you can intentionally seek, look, and listen to hear God’s voice.

You know those people who inspire you to unapologetically go after your God dreams, not quit, and keep pursuing what God has for you? That’s Taneshia Yerby for me. Better known as the CEO and Founder of Christian Entrepreneur Org, or as her Instagram handle says, CEO for women. If you’re a Christian female entrepreneur, you’ve most likely seen or heard of Taneshia and her organization and love her encouraging messages.
Taneshia started Christian Entrepreneur Org in 2018 after many failed attempts at entrepreneurship. After receiving clear direction from the Lord on what she was to use for His glory, she has now created a thriving business that helps provide Christian women with the strategies and motivation they need to pursue those BIG ideas God has placed in their hearts.
This is one of those top podcast episodes for me, so listen in as Taneshia and I discuss her journey of entrepreneurship, how she created a successful business while working a full-time corporate job, and her tips on how to navigate and pursue your God-dreams in a practical, no fluff way.

Let’s talk about sex. Yep, we’re going there. We’re talking about the three-letter word that can make middle schoolers and adults blush – especially those in the Christian community. But guess what? God created sex, and as my guest Ruth Buezis the author of Awaken Love: The Truth About Sex that Will Transform Your Marriage, states, He made sex for us to understand the intimacy He desires for us to have with Him.
We not only chat about intimacy with God but what intimacy looks like with your husband and the myths and lies we believe about sex that keeps us from experiencing the complete joy God has for us with our bodies.
Get ready for a candid and enlightening conversation that will leave you with practical insights and a fresh perspective on prioritizing and enjoying this incredible gift from God.

Keeping faith front and center in your home can be a struggle. However, it’s critical for your children and your family to establish routines that keep God as the foundation. My guest, Keeley Chorn, struggled with her own family faith routines, so she decided to implement a few simple ones for her family, and when she saw them working, she knew she had to share them with other families. And so her company Life & Faith Collide was born. In this episode, Keeley and I chat about how we can engage our children in our faith (without getting frustrated), actionable steps to set up faith routines with our family, and how to keep the routines going while managing a busy schedule. So let’s keep first things first by letting our family life and faith collide.

If you lack clarity, you lack confidence. If you lack confidence, you lack courage. If you lack courage, clarity doesn’t really matter. That is why getting all three right is fundamental in leadership and life. My conversation with Dr. Heather Penny quickly gets to the heart of the sticky matters of leadership and life and provides practical solutions you can use to navigate uncertainty, create self-awareness, and approach resilience in a revolutionary way. Now let’s maximize your potential in leadership and life so you can walk in the assurance of where God has called you.

It can often be challenging to integrate faith and work comfortably. However, the Bible clearly states that faith and work go hand in hand and that we can use scripture, theology, and Biblical values to guide our work and daily work problems and decisions.
After becoming a Christian later in life, Denise Lee Yohn wanted to find ways to integrate her new faith into her career as a keynote speaker, consultant, and writer on brand leadership. What she learned on her path of faith and work integration led her to found the Faith & Work Journey, which offers spiritual formation and professional development experiences that help Christian professionals cultivate a vital integration of their faith and work.
So listen in as Denise and I discuss the full vision for faith and work integration and ways you can faithfully steward your work and use your faith to guide your steps in the workplace. And, stick around for the bonus at the end, where we chat about the importance of rest and how rest can be a tangible way to present your faith in the workplace.

We often get caught up in the day-to-day and the frustration of work and overlook that what we do here on earth has an eternal impact. We forget to see our calling through a gospel-centered perspective. Rebecca George, a podcaster, speaker, and author, is passionate about blending what you love with an eternal purpose. Because your calling is not just a cute little side hobby; it’s something God has given you to help build the Kingdom here on Earth.
So listen in as Rebecca and I discuss the eternal perspective of your calling, why it’s important to treat your calling seriously, and how to live your life sold out for the glory of God.

Imagine working only two days a week and still making enough money to support your family and all the passions God’s put on your heart. For my guest Shay Cochrane, that’s her reality. She’s built a multimillion-dollar business called Social Squares that’s used by powerhouse brands and thousands of others (including Faith & Gather) while only working 16 hours a week.
But if you think this episode is about making money in as little time as possible, it’s not. While that surely is impressive, I find it more impressive how Shay and her husband Graham have let God lead the way in each of their businesses and how they’ve been incredibly intentional about the life God has given them.
So listen in as Shay and I chat about how she and her family have built an intentional life, how their businesses support that (and not the other way around), the 80/20 rule they use in business and life, and how she uses her platform to share her faith and the love of Jesus.

What if your greatest failure would bring your greatest success? If you had asked Sarah Olea a year ago, she would not have believed it. Her business was failing, and her pride was running the show. But, when she hit rock bottom, failure was the only option, and instead of sadness, she was met with peace. What Sarah didn’t realize was that even though her business failed, something bigger awaited her on the other side. Within two months of closing her business, Sarah launched a new one and saw a new level of success she had never seen before.
Listen in as Sarah shares her failure, risk, and redemption story, what it taught her, and why she counts her failure as joy. It will challenge you to put your pride on the back burner and live your life with humility and vulnerability.

Are you looking for a way to break free from the mental prisons that are holding you back? Perfectionism, over-scheduling, and people-pleasing are all mental prisons we put ourselves in.

Do you ever struggle with the words to pray for your marriage when things go wrong or even when things are going great? I often repeat the same words and don’t think beyond what is visible to me. God knows our heart and what we need before we even say it, but bold prayers here on earth can create miracles and strongholds in the heavenly realms today and in the future. Praying specific prayers for your marriage can change your circumstances and your heart.
I asked the Backgate Prayers ladies to join me and share their unique story of how their business came together and to share five marriage prayers to pray for your marriage, your spouse, and your heart.
If you’ve struggled with the words to pray for your marriage, this episode will give you confidence and direction on what to pray for your marriage when you don’t have the words to say.

How do you look at your mistakes? Do you look at them as opportunities or as failures? If you’re a perfectionist like me, you may view them as the latter. And as Christians, we try to hold ourselves to excellence, but we can often cross the line to what God never called us to be, perfect.
My guest, Rev. Jocelyn Jones, is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur. She holds a master’s degree in theological studies, is an ordained minister, and is the founder of Faith on the Journey Counseling. With her extensive background, Jocelyn has achieved a lot but has had to fight perfectionism. However, because of our good God, she has found strategies that work to combat perfectionism and was gracious enough to share them with me.
If you carry the heavy burden of perfectionism, Jocelyn’s insights will help you start your breakthrough journey.
So, let your perfectionist guard down and soak in the words and wisdom as Jocelyn shares her strategies for overcoming the control of perfectionism.

Imagine having a thriving business with over 100,000 Youtube subscribers, a house full of four children, and a husband who is gone for weeks and months at a time. Does that sound like a lot to handle? That’s the reality of my guest GlowBodyPT personal trainer to the mamas, Ashley Keller. Yet, instead of running around frantically and putting her roles on a pedestal, Ashley keeps God at the center of everything she does. Her story is incredibly unique and inspiring.
Listen in as Ashley and I talk mama to mama and business owner to business owner about how she keeps her family grounded in the Lord and says no to the hustle. And what’s attributed to her success managing the home and a thriving business, and her techniques to keep her four kiddos self-sufficient.

It can be easy in busy seasons of life to put God lower on your priority list. But in this episode, I make a case as to why it should be your easiest first and some practical ways to have God on the top of your mind and priority list in everything you do. No judgment – just love, understanding, and a little more than a gentle nudge to keep the Lord above everything, above all your to-dos.

Overwhelm. Have you ever experienced it? I say that jokingly (sadly), as overwhelm is a familiar feeling for most women. My guest, Tricia Dege, Certified High-Performance Coach and founder of Mom Mastermind, believes we can reduce overwhelm by becoming crystal clear on our purpose, priorities, and plan of action. So grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some note-taking as Tricia and I chat about getting past the overwhelm of everything on your plate, establishing your priorities, and creating room to slot in some self-care.

Do you need to make a big or even a little decision that may have a significant impact? Last week I shared a small effective tool with one of my clients to help her, and her husband make a big decision that affects many aspects of their lives. It’s a tool I am sure she has heard many times before and one I believe you have as well, but it’s not one we often use. It’s SUPER simple and incredibly effective. I’ve shared a version before in Episode 16, but I felt the Lord prompting me to share it again. What’s this simple and effective tool? Hit play to find out.

I often get asked how my hubby Matt and I jumped from two incomes to one. I’m usually asked this question by women who want to leave their current job or are ready to go all-in on their dreams but are afraid to jump. The short answer is that I had a stud of a husband who did a stellar job at crunching the numbers for us. But the full answer involves us creating a communication partnership and getting on the same page. I’ve shared pieces of the story on the podcast, but I didn’t think it was fair only to share my perspective, so I asked Mr. Matt Dvorak himself to join me and share his side of the story on how we made it happen and how we are still making it work.
So, here is our story of how we went from two incomes to one and how you can, too.

Have you noticed a bit of sticker shock lately when shopping for new clothes? I love when I can sneak away and spend time looking at beautiful clothes on the rack (because it doesn’t happen very often), but lately, when I’ve had the chance, I have done more admiring than buying. In this episode, I chat with the spicy and beautiful Tray Styles about how to shop and style on a budget so you can confidently reflect the joy of Jesus inside and out. And I promise, after hearing Tray’s insights, you will be recharged and energized to get to know what you love, what looks great on you, and how to feel and look like a million bucks without spending it.

Selfishly, when thinking about obedience, I often think of what it means for me and how it will impact my life. However, my obedience has nothing to do with me and everything to do with others. The lesson of Jonah perfectly reflects how delayed obedience can affect not only you but others' lives as well. Listen in for a brief yet thought-provoking episode that will have you viewing your decisions to say 'no' or 'not yet' to God from a different lens.

Does your home fill you with peace, or does it create unnecessary anxiety? Are there socks in the kitchen, papers in the pantry, and stacks of junk mail on the kitchen table?

Mattie is the author of Everyday MAGIC: The Joy of Not Being Everything and Still Being More Than Enough, and she is the queen of helping women eliminate the overwhelm of every day, which includes the things in your home, how you manage them, and your mental state surrounding it all. So listen in as Mattie and I get honest about motherhood, managing a home, and how to make everyday MAGIC.
Make sure to stick around until the end when Mattie shares her ultimate tips on decluttering your home with a few of her proven decluttering methods. Let’s get to it!

Sometimes God asks us to take action and do the right thing, even if it requires immense boldness and courage. In this episode, we highlight Boaz’s natural actions of obedience that God used to do the supernatural. If you are fighting the internal battle to do something that you know is the next right step but requires more than you think you can handle, this episode will help empower you to take action and do the right thing.

Many women say that chaotic mornings are more typical than they would like to admit. They dream of a morning snuggled up on the couch with a comfy blanket and warm cup of coffee, a morning that sets the pace for the day and allows them to focus on the Lord, recharge, and address the thoughts that get pushed away as they navigate the noise throughout the day.
Chanel Dokun believes that you don’t have to have an open schedule, be childless (because who knows the realities of getting your child ready in the morning), or be a morning person to have a morning routine that sets you up for life-changing revelations and peace. Her simple and doable Reclaim the Morning process for morning and non-morning people will recenter you, help you connect with God, and give you the 30 or even 10 minutes of quiet time you’ve been dying to have.
If you are ready to put some luxury, quiet time into your day (it’s okay, this will benefit others, too), then you are in the right place.
Your sense of relief from those chaotic mornings starts now. So let’s get to it!

We have a big problem in this world with the need to always be busy. I know this because I am part of the problem. I have a hard time letting go of my to-do list and I wonder if you may be the same way.
Recently, my friend shared this fantastic tip she received from a mentor of hers, and she messaged me to tell me that I had to try it and share it with you. It’s straightforward but impactful and gives you the permission to lay on the couch and do absolutely nothing without feeling like a failure or that you shouldn’t be enjoying your fill-up the cup time.
So hit play to hear how this one tip can help you make time for the things you love. It’s so simple, all you need is five minutes and...

Where do you land on the boldness scale of sharing your faith? Are you a shy and timid three, or are you a say it loud and proud ten?
For many reasons, sharing your faith at work and with those outside the Christian community can feel uncomfortable. Maybe you’re afraid of rejection or don’t want to have an awkward conversation. Or you fear getting in trouble, especially if you start sharing your faith at work. Those hesitations don’t make you a bad Christian or one without faith; it makes you incredibly human.
I chatted with Amy Cedrone and Catherine Gates about how to have bold faith at work and play, ways to share your faith if you feel uncomfortable, legal protection around sharing your faith, and how to maneuver the awkward situations that may arise when sharing your faith.
So, get ready to be equipped to share your faith boldly. Let’s get after it!

Imagine, for a moment, spending countless hours praying for God to do something big through you and God handing you a peanut. What would your reaction be? I’d immediately start asking questions like, “Lord, what do you want me to do with a peanut? What does a peanut have to do with anything?” For George Washington Carver, a peanut meant his opportunity to change the world. In this shorty “fruit snack” episode, I talk about how you can make an impact with your everyday mundane life like GWC did, staring at peanuts all day. Because a peanut is just a peanut until… Take a listen to find out!

Fear is an emotion your mind creates when it believes that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or is a threat. But Fear is often a liar, and it keeps us from doing the very things God has designed for us.
Pastor Becca Ketterling battled debilitating fear and anxiety for years, so when God called her to create and lead a women’s ministry, she was left crying, begging Him to pick someone else. But God got it right, and fear got it wrong. So, with the bit of courage she had, Pastor Becca did it afraid and took one small step at a time. Fast forward almost 20 years, and her little act of faith has become a women’s ministry that impacts thousands of women every year.
If you are stuck in fear and unable to take the next step where God is calling you to be obedient, or if you need a reminder that it is okay to continue to be afraid as you keep making steps forward to where you need to go, my conversation with Pastor Becca Ketterling will leave you feeling like you are not alone and that God can and will do things for you and through you as you take each step doing it afraid.
Let’s get started on that first step.

How do you react when you set a goal or expectation that it’s not met? Are you cool, calm, and collected and think, “Hey, better luck next time.” Or do you feel defeated, frazzled, or like a failure? I’m the latter. As a high-achieving, ambitious woman, I set goals or expectations I intend to make, and when I don’t make them, it bothers me. I let it get under my skin, and it can affect my mood, outlook, and how I show up in my relationships. Well, I should say, it used to until I learned this one trick about how to renegotiate your goals and expectations. Instead of thinking I failed or didn’t reach my desired outcome, I renegotiate it. As a result, I have experienced a tremendous change in my attitude and level of joy. Hit play to learn the art of renegotiating your goals and shed the weight of unmet expectations.

If Jesus asked you, “What do you want?” would you be able to answer Him? If yes, would you be able to answer Him confidently? If you have a big, audacious dream in your heart, more likely than not, God is the one that put it there. You may think it’s selfish or ridiculous, but the truth is that He cares more about that dream than you do because it is a part of His grander plan. Going after your dreams and asking God for your big dreams can often feel uncomfortable and have you question if it’s even possible. That’s where confidence comes into play.
Author of How Much More and coach to creatives, Molly Wilcox, believes that God’s best for you is better than you think, and all it takes is a little confidence to feel equipped to live the life God has called you to live with boldness and bravery.
So grab your coffee or tea and cozy in as we talk about how to go to God and pursue your dream with complete confidence.

I conversed with one of my good friends the other day about our upcoming birthdays. We are both turning a number closer to 40, and for whatever reason, this year and that number have hit particularly hard. Although our bodies aren’t as spry as they used to be, I believe what we are facing is a mental battle. Because as life does, it will bring you physical and psychological struggles. As I was reading my devotion recently, it mentioned an article titled 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin, a licensed clinical social worker. Naturally, I was curious, so I took a peek at it and discovered that a few of the 13 things could combat much of what my friend and I were feeling. I wanted to share the ones that stuck out to me in this week’s shorty fruit snack episode.
So get ready to be inspired and hit play on Five things mentally strong people don’t do.

Are you ready to laugh and learn how to have a rich life while making a Kingdom impact? My conversation with Bob and Linda Lotich will have you jumping out of your seat, asking how you can change your life and others by using what God has placed in your hands. Bob and Linda believe that true financial freedom is less about yachts and private islands and more about being free to fulfill your God-given calling. Money is simply a tool God provides to help us do the task He has given us. This belief has allowed them to do unbelievable things like paying off their mortgage in three years and giving away 1 million dollars. And you can do these crazy things, too, with the simple methods they’ve created, tested, and used to live a life with eternal impact. These are the same simple methods they shared with me and in their new book Simple Money, Rich Life.
So pull up a seat, get ready to laugh, and learn some kingdom-impact goodness.

As I stood in a San Francisco airport, I asked myself three simple questions, and in a matter of minutes, my life was forever changed. These questions impacted my life so much that I quit my job two days later and have let God lead ever since. I want to share these three questions with you as I believe they can help uncover a life and calling you may have been ignoring. So, here are the three questions that changed the course and direction of my life.

Is God stirring you to make a career change? Is He prompting you to take a leap of faith that feels downright terrifying? I’ve been there. And so has my guest Peggy Bodde.
Peggy knows what it’s like to face an unknown future, but for some inexplicable reason, you know deep down to your core that if you don’t jump, you will miss out on a remarkable experience.
If you’ve just started to have these stirring feelings or have been on the fence for a while, this episode will give you, as Peggy says, “recycled strength” and practical tips to consider when deciding to say goodbye to the known and yes to the miraculous journey of your God-sized calling.
So settle in as we talk about the vital head and heart steps to take to help you make a successful career transition.

Who has a business or life you strive to have one day? This is a question I ask in the new coaching program I’m creating to help women go from a life of stress to a life of joy. The question isn’t meant to compare or covet what others have but to give an idea of the type of life you desire and a breadcrumb clue for where God may be leading you. When diving into the question with one of the incredible women in my new coaching program, I realized the depth of that question and the one non-negotiable part of your dream.

We all have a vice. Whether we like to admit it or not. We do. And, for me, that was alcohol.
After decades of battling a never-ending cycle of bad decisions and anxiety from alcohol, I choose to go sober for my 35th year of life. My year of sobriety completely changed my life, and I decided to continue an alcohol-free lifestyle. I am celebrating two years of sobriety and want to share my story with you because I believe you can break free, too.
Listen as I get honest about my battle with alcohol and how the benefits of saying no are far beyond expected.

Money is a sticky subject in the Christian community, but in today’s episode, we’re going there. Money can be used for good or bad, and I believe that if the money is out there, it is better in the hands of an individual who has a heart for people and will use it for good. As God’s children, we are tasked to spread the love of Jesus so all may know. And in today’s world, money talks.
I asked Charlene Tilbanie to come on the show to chat through the seven millionaire habits you can start practicing today. Charlene shares her story of being a highly-educated accountant and earning a good salary but somehow living paycheck to paycheck and relying on credit cards to get her through the month. Finally, after a rock bottom moment, she decided to make drastic spending changes and became debt-free in 15 months.
During Charlene’s professional career and personal life, she’s observed and studied millionaires to see what they do to make their millions. She wants nothing more than to share that knowledge with Christian women worldwide.
So grab your pen and paper or your digital notebook, and let’s get you started on your first million!

I’ve heard that we are either in a battle season or a rest and recovery season. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t felt out of a battle season since the beginning of 2020, and this soldier is getting a little weary.
The story of Jehoshaphat has come up many times in the past few weeks, and when stories come up repeatedly, I know God is telling me something. As I dove deep into the story, I realized I had much to learn from Jehoshaphat.
So, if you’re in a battle season or feel a fight coming your way, grab your headphones and hit play for a short listen of how you can be battle-ready by taking natural action for supernatural results.

Are you struggling with setting boundaries with your loved ones or even yourself? Setting boundaries are vital to establishing the life we desire. But it isn’t always easy.
If you’re like me, you’ve struggled with the confidence to communicate boundaries or have offended your loved ones by not communicating boundaries in a loving, compassionate way.
I sat down with Laurie Healy to discuss how to communicate boundaries by saying no with kindness and confidence. Laurie is a coach and educator who provides insight and support for individuals and families with a loved one struggling with substance use challenges and disorders.
Although your life circumstances may not be as challenging as dealing with substance abuse issues, the same evidence-based practices apply, no matter how big or small the boundaries you need to set.
So pull up your seat and learn the importance of setting boundaries, creating them, and compassionately communicating boundaries with confidence in your relationships and with yourself.

Be honest. Are you honest with God? Depending on how you were raised or what type of church you grew up in, honest conversations with God can be incredibly uncomfortable.
Jelilat Williams is a therapist and coach that helps imperfect Christians like you and me keep their relationship with God simple, healthy, and authentic, so you don’t have to feel like you’re going through life alone.
As Jeli states in this episode, the book of Habakkuk is a great example of how we can bring it all to God and feel safe knowing that He loves us even when we bring the good, bad, and ugly to Him.
So, let’s get comfortable with the uncomfortable and learn how to share our true selves with the One who already knows it all.

Are you struggling with aspects of your marriage? Wondering how did you and your husband get here? Anyone who’s been married for a second knows that marriage is not always sunshine and rainbows. Once the honeymoon is over, reality sets in, and the picture-perfect fairytale becomes a bit more work than riding off into the sunset.

Do you ever find yourself at a loss for words when praying to God? Or do you often find yourself distracted by the ever-running to-do list in your head that you lose focus during your prayer time? Girl, you are not alone. Prayer can sometimes feel unnatural, although it is the most natural thing you could do.

Keto, Paleo, Low-carb, vegan, Atkins, The Zone diet, the list goes on, and the new diet fads will continue to come and go. However, what remains the same with each of them is confusion and a constant yearning for looking and feeling your best. There is nothing wrong with wanting to strive for your best optimal health, but when it comes at the expense of your emotional health and leaves little room to focus on other priorities or keeps you wanting more, that’s when issues arise.
Kassandra Baker, a Certified Health, Life, and Mental Health Coach and Public Speaker, helps women trapped in unhealthy habits such as perfectionism, disordered eating, legalism, and people-pleasing, to live a life FREE in Christ.
Kassandra knows from experience that living a non-diet life focused on intuitive eating and the principles of who you are in Christ will leave you feeling a sense of freedom that no diet or number on the scale could bring you.
So get ready to have your eyes opened and feel encouraged to say hello to a new way of living, full of joy and free from the oppression of food.

Here’s a stat to shake your shoes, 60% of women have never negotiated a salary or a raise. Yes, the same women who have been fighting to have a seat at the table and earn the same amount as their male counterparts are not asking for what they deserve. A lack of knowledge and confidence keeps them from earning a living that even the good Lord wants them to achieve. The reality is, the more you make, the more you can give back, right?
So I asked Peggy Bodde, a corporate leader and mentor with 25 years of business and career experience, to join me to chat about how to appropriately and proactively go about negotiating a salary, raise or benefits, and the fun ways you can be creative in your ask to get you to a place where you can thrive even more.

What does personal branding have to do with faith? God has put awesome qualities and skills in the one and only you, and you have the responsibility to shine them bright in the world. Personal branding may seem a little scary or a little self-focused to some, but I promise you, personal branding is a positive way to make sure Satan doesn’t blow out that light of yours or hide it under a bush. Personal branding is your chance to say, “Hey, here’s what God has done in me, for me, and through me.”
I had a fabulous conversation with the one and only Kate DiLeo about how to start and flourish on your personal branding journey. Kate is a branding expert and dear friend who has over a decade of experience helping individuals and brands set themselves apart and impact the world.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly, we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Living a life of intentionality takes work but comes with great rewards. It requires you to eliminate roles that do not serve you in your current season, including roles you may hold onto dearly.
Living intentionally also requires you to set boundaries and stick with them, even when it feels uncomfortable.
But to first live a life of intentionality, you need to understand your true core values.
Gina Grove, a faith-focused certified life and wellness coach, published writer, and speaker strives to help her clients feel joy, energy, and peace again through living a life of intentionality, starting with identifying their core values.

Comparison and envy are ripe in our culture, and with the ability to compare your life to thousands of individuals with a click of a button, it can be tough to focus on the path God has set before you.
Even with a strong foundation in Christ, we can find ourselves distracted by what others have and what we dream for. The blunt truth is we all have our own race to run and a purpose given to us. Not staying in our lane runs the risk of not completing the path and tasks God has given you.
Emily Vermillion, a certified Christian Life Coach, is passionate about helping women focus on staying in their lane to create a life of success and happiness not only in God’s eyes but their own as well.

Do you have a burning desire to do something more but don’t know what to do? Or do you have an idea that just won’t go away no matter how much you try not to think about it? Asking God for big dreams can be scary, scary because He’s a God that wants to give you what you ask for, and scary because if you dream big and ask big, you will have to either decide to take a huge leap of faith or say no to your dream.
Patty Post knows just what it is like to dream big and ask God for the door to open to a big, scary, but exciting dream. As the founder and CEO of Checkable Medical, a healthcare startup company, her dream of one day innovating a new way of healthcare is now a reality. Her company empowers consumers to take their health into their own hands, providing peace of mind through at-home tests and innovative wellness solutions. Something she was told wasn’t possible.
If you are sitting on the sidelines waiting for your big dream, or if you have made the leap and need encouragement to keep going, Patty’s story will inspire and motivate you to ask for the big and expect the doors to open.

Can you really get social without social media? If you didn’t post about it, it didn’t happen, right? There are some jaw-dropping stats out there on social media and its effects on our mental health. If you do a quick search, the results will blow you away and have you thinking twice about opening those apps.
God never intended us to have the capacity to know what billions, not even hundreds of people, were thinking or doing at any given moment. Instead, He created us to be in community with those around us and support the community we are in.
Now, social media is not all bad. Actually, it can be pretty amazing, and the beauty is we can use social media to support and encourage others, not only ourselves.

We are living in a world that glorifies the hustle. A world that tells us we need to make ourselves known and achieve a standard of success that even the billionaires don’t believe they've reached. We are a world of individuals with overwhelmed schedules and underwhelmed souls.
As an overachiever, Brooke Peterson, founder of Well Women Co, never met a goal she couldn’t beat. Her drive, grit, and tenacity brought her much success in the world’s eyes, but stress and strife were a constant. After a month-long sabbatical, Brooke realized God was calling her to a different life, where success meant something so much more. Beyond the hustle, beyond the stress, beyond the internal burdens of the world’s success.

Are you tired of running the rat race of life? Where did we get it in our heads that we HAVE to do it all?? Better yet, where in the Bible does it say that we need to? If the Bible is our source of truth, why are we getting all our information on how to live and who we are supposed to be outside of it? How and where did that go-getter hamster form in our heads that day in and day out tells us we need to be good and perfect at EVERYTHING?
What we can we do? We can let go. We can not only let go of perfection, which is training our brain to reset and remember that Good and OK is enough, but we can also let go of some of those roles and responsibilities that we think we HAVE to do.
Listen in to hear how you can use this simple strategy to help forever stop the crazy pace of life.

As Christians, we are supposed to leave comparison, envy, and jealousy at the door. With our eyes so fixated on screens and the lives of others, those thoughts and feelings can so easily creep in. The world leads us to believe that there are only so many pieces of the pie to go around, but as Tischa Van de Reep states, “The world’s pie is not God’s pie! He is limitless. He is eternal. And so is His pie.”
This belief of an eternal, limitless pie has allowed Tischa to build a community of women communicators focused on the greater mission and message of Christ without competition, comparison, envy, jealously.
Come along with us as we explore how we can band together as sisters in Christ and support one another for the greater mission!

Huh? That title doesn’t sound very Christian, does it? Stay with us here. We have been hardwired to go, go, go and do, do, do for decades. Programmed to give 120% to EVERYTHING that we do. But you know what? God doesn’t call us to give to the extent that we believe we need to, AND His 100% looks much different than what the world tells us (the world’s 100%=150%).

If we’ve learned anything from 2020 and the unforeseen pandemic, it’s that things don’t always go as planned. Yet, we continue to set goals, write out our days in the form of to-do lists, and expect life to go how we created it. The Bible says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps,” Proverbs 16:9 (NIV).
A dream and vision is beautiful, but when that dream can no longer be a reality, what are you to do? Instead of continuing to ask, “Lord, what is my calling?” You need to pivot and move in a direction that feels right in your heart and gut. As Lindsay May, founder of The Truly Co. and publisher of Truly magazine, has found, the pivots will lead you to your calling.
If you are struggling with yet another roadblock on your path to your dream or grappling to find your calling, Lindsay’s story will inspire you to think differently and take each pivot as a way to get closer to God and that “I was made for this!” moment.

FAITH INSPIRED SHOWNOTES:
Fear is a liar. It is the voice in your head that tells you can’t achieve or have the things you hope for or dream of. Many of us put roadblocks in our way without even realizing that the roadblock’s root cause is fear.
Esther Marie knows all too well the many faces of fear. Soon after starting to learn how to chase the waves surfing in California, she realized that her only fear wasn’t the force of the ocean but also fear of the unknown, fear of love, and fear of getting hurt. While banding together with a group of surfer girls, she noticed a trend in fears that kept these audacious and daring surfer girls from living a life free of fear away from the water. Esther set off to tackle these fears by founding Fearless Co. and writing a book Unhindered by Fear: A guide to Facing Your Fears and Achieving Your Dreams.
Esther has done just that by climbing mountains, surfing waves, traveling the world, and facing her emotions head-on. She knows you have the power within you to win against your fears to LIVE of life full of joy and confidence! The life that God has always intended you to see and have.
So, get ready to dive into some adventure talk and fear-slaying tips as we discuss 6 steps to conquering your fears and living your dreams!

Goals, standards, and expectations are great markers and guidelines to keep you on your path to success. Without them, it would be hard to function as a team, family, or society and achieve incredible milestones in life. It’s when the expectations we set in our minds don’t happen, things can get tough. You can either continue on your path of frustration of things not living up to your expectations, or you can reset your expectations and enjoy the process.
Take a few moments of your day to pause and reflect on how to reset your expectations with these four simple steps.

It’s no secret - the way you start your morning can make a HUGE impact on your day. Overslept? Your day may start and end a little crazy. Missed your morning workout? You’re most likely going to need that extra cup of coffee. Life throws us curveballs, but controlling your morning can set the tone for the day you want to have.
We sat down with Nicole Blodgett, a morning routine pro and advocate, to discuss the morning routines we have been following for YEARS that keep us alert, motivated, and ready to tackle our everyday battles when they arise. We recorded this interview at the beginning of the pandemic, but the theme remains true and is even more important today when we are getting back to the busy lives we once knew. So come along with us to hear how you can implement three morning routine habits for a healthy, productive life!

We are celebrating Women’s History Month, and it’s important to remember that as women, we have been given the rights and opportunities we have due to the hard work and love of the women who came before us. God equipped those women with passions and skills and then provided them the strength to charge forward when the road became a hard one to cross. Before we even stepped onto the road set before us, we have had glass ceilings broken, doors knocked down, and battles won both physically and spiritually. Because of these women doing God’s work with their strong and mighty hands and hearts, we are where we are today.
Our lives are packed to the brim with responsibilities upon responsibilities and tasks upon tasks, and we often forget to look up at the women around us who need encouragement and support as well. We found it only fitting to talk about ways to build other women up and, more specifically, building women up closer to home starting with our girlfriends. Let’s start small and make a big impact with small jesters in familiar places with familiar faces.
Listen in to hear five easy ways you can help support and uplift your friend!

In this “fruit snack” episode (Galatians 5:22-23), we talk about the painful labels we wear and hold onto tightly.
Labels associated with things like alcohol, anorexia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, cheating, lying, and (insert your label here).
Our labels allow us to give glory to God for what he has done for us and what he will do for us. Even if we’re still walking through the pain of the labels we wear, it doesn’t mean he hasn’t saved us and can’t use us.
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.” 1 Timothy 1:15-16

Many of us go through life wearing an invisible mask. We hide our true feelings, desires, and dreams because of insecurity. We hide our fears and hurts. We hide addictions and shameful experiences we have gone through because we fear what others will think about us.
Diane Spicer, author of Unmasked: A Remarkable True Story of Transformation and Redemption, knows what it feels like to live behind a mask and suffer the consequences. She also knows what it is like to go through the unmasking process and find true redemption through faith.
We sat down with Diane to discuss her remarkable transformation from a victim of molestation and drug addiction to a life of freedom and forgiveness.
