Hey Love, in this week’s episode, I confess that I used to be a compulsive liar even well into adulthood. I tell you about the time a friend in my college sorority lovingly confronted me on it, how I attempted to stop unsuccessfully on my own strength… and then feeling so defeated, started stealing food…
Hey Love, I’m going to be sharing with you my most embarassing moment at the top of this episode…. I’d alluded to it during Ep 13- the Amy Grant episode- but hundreds of you (no, not really, just two people) asked me to share mine so today I will do that. (Still cracks me up…
Hey Love, I know everyone else is talking about the cheerier side of Christmas, but this is the reality for me. Maybe it is for you, too? If you feel completely connected and plugged in with people consistently wherever you are, you’re among the few. But you’ll still get a kick hearing about the…
Hey Love, so glad you’re here today- we’re going to get some coaching tips from a communications expert on how to start a hard conversation (which may come in handy as the holidays are upon us…) This particular case is a very low risk for me- it’s not totally a “David & Goliath” thing…
Hey Love, Thank you for showing up! I’m excited to bring you the second half of Amy Grant’s interview. (Sorry this one came a little later than usual- it’s COOKING DAY!!!) In this episode, Amy talks about principles which have helped her protect the intimacy she has with her sisters- of course, these are…
Hey Love, Have you heard the term “sistering?” It’s used by carpenters and construction workers to describe the process of a weaker floor joist being joined by two stronger joists. And it depicts the way Amy Grant’s sisters have related to each other all their lives. (I say it backwards when I’m fumbling through my explanation…
Hey Love, thanks for joining us for Part 2 of my conversation with the Marreros. If you don’t already know this family, you’re gonna fall in love with them by the end of this thing. Sandy (the mom) is once again an open book about the bitter and the sweet of grief, which she describes…
Hey Love, we have a special 2 part interview for you. Today, for part 1, we will be joined by Sandy Marrero and her 2 older daughters- Susanna and Sara, who just lost their 26 year old hero, Leland. You’ll hear some awkward pauses and sniffles and we clear our throats a few times……
Rachel Cruze is the author of “Love Your Life, Not Theirs” Hey Love, have you been driving yourself LOCCO? Our guest today is Rachel Cruze- she will give you 3 tips on practicing contentment so you can untangle your way out (or avoid getting caught) in the (locco) comparison trap. We talk about how this…
Don’t get out much anymore? Ep 8- Goin’ Solo on “FOBO” Hey Love, today we’ll talk about one thing that might be keeping you from really experiencing the kind of trust and closeness you long for in friendships. It’s a little thing I call “FOBO.” You’ve heard of FOMO- fear of missing out… I define…
Episode 7– “ Still Laughing at the Days Ahead” (part 2) Hey, Love and welcome! Thanks for joining us- we’re going to get to listen to the person affectionately called “The woman who laughs at the days ahead.” That reference is from Proverbs 31, which I’ll expound on a bit today in my intro- how…
Today, I get to read part of my very first review on itunes!!! WOO HOOOEY! So fun! I challenge you to leave good reviews for podcasts you listen to regularly because it’s important to convey the need for gospel centered, biblical messages in Podcast Land. I share my desire to encourage other messengers to take up space out here!
Our guest tells us why she and her husband searched for a layout with a loop when they were househunting. She describes what a good mentor can do for a young woman trying to find her feet walking with Jesus.
And we discuss her arrangement of having a 48 hour respite alone every month and one night off every week. Doesn’t this sound like a good plan????? Talk about nurturing your soul!!! RIGHT?????
My friend Shanna Maria Brawner and I chat today about how to become a more intentional member of community. She tells the story of how one mentor confronted her out of concern and did it in such a way that Shanna felt utterly loved, not at all attacked. She confesses about having to deal with a self righteous attitude in her earlier life and how that has been transformed into a tempered, purposeful sense of justice, which is now being used for good. She’s learned how to search her motives and set her hopes high for peace by taking an eternal “Bigger Story” perspective.
Today, you’ll hear two old friends apologize to each other for stuff that happened many moons ago. My friend Kim Camp is here and we talk about a relational quiz she took on our website- If you haven’t taken the quiz, hop on over-heylovepodcast.com- and let us know- we’ll get that right out to you. All in fun. It’s short. And free!
Today’s episode features a young woman who is near and dear to my heart- Mandi Moseley. She is a gifted songwriter, anointed worship leader and has the most contagious giggle you’ve ever heard. We often laugh about sage-like marriage lessons we’ve gleaned from an old sitcom we’re hooked on (whose reruns got pulled off Netflix just prior to editing time!
During this episode, I’ll expound on my goal for the show- which is to share my experience & my hope in an effort to encourage you along as some thought paradigms start to shift around the way we do “relationships” here in America. Ultimately though, I’m doing it for selfish reasons- I love writing about, listening to and sharing stories of redemption!
In this introductory episode of HeyLOVE, I lay out my mission statement for the show; to equip you with real tools through engaging content around the theme of building interdependent relationships- like I saw my Aunties doing in India.
My favorite thing to talk about with friends is connecting in relationship; peering in (at self,) gazing up (at Spirit) and reaching out (to others.) These are the things I’m always talking about with my friends and family members, so it seems only natural to continue that conversation on the podcast.
