Would you rather be hopeful or positive? Do you think it's the same thing? I did, too, until I did a little digging. 

Hope is so much more than just a positive mindset and as Christians, we have the greatest hope ever known, because we hope in the One who created the very concept of hope. 

So, how do we have that hope? Let's get the conversation going!

Forgiveness...not your favorite subject, right? Me, neither.

Hey, hey friends! I'm back with another episode, but this one looks a little different - it's a book review!

I love to read, so being able to share that on here is really cool and I hope you like it! I'm reviewing Sadie Robertson Huff's new(ish!) book, "Who Are You Following?", which is all about navigating social media from a faith-filled perspective. 

Let's get the conversation going!

Friends, are you stressed, tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or just all of the above? I know I sure am! With everything going on in our lives, it can be hard to try and find some kind of peace. However, Jesus didn't die for us to just grin and bear it; He died and rose to life to give us our life to the full. So, how do we find that peace? Let's get the conversation going!

Y'all...this is insane! Thank you SO much for being here - I really appreciate it!  For the first episode, I just wanted y'all to get to know me a little, as well as why I decided to start a podcast, why "authentic" is the main theme behind my brand, and what you can expect in each episode.
