My guest, Kathryn Maack, co-founder of Dwellings and a fervent advocate for believers, joins us for a really encouraging conversation on experiencing God's presence in life's mundane moments. Kathryn's enthusiasm for shaping the future church is infectious, and her insights encouraged me a lot.

Kathryn opens up about her own experiences, sharing a story of how a simple act of obedience led to a remarkable, life-changing miracle. Her wisdom on recognizing and cherishing these moments is a necessary conversation in the hustle and bustle of life.

(Friends! This week we are giving away a free copy of Splendeur Magazine's first issue! Be sure you're following our Instagram to see all the details! This magazine is designed to encourage women to be who God created them to be, empower them to use their gifts to glorify Him, and to equip them to go and make disciples in their field, all without worry or strife. đ)
I have such a dear friend and incredible woman of God on the podcast this week! Lydia Summer is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Splendeur Magazine, an incredible magazine for Christian women. They actually just released their first issue, and I'm so excited to be able to share this conversation with you today.
Here's what I love most: Lydia isn't coming on the show this week just to talk about Splendeur. She wanted to join me on the show to talk about something God is doing within her heart: Helping her address generational sin. Specifically anger.
This is such an incredible conversation on addressing generational holds in our life, experiencing God through His Word, being honest about our anger, living life in humility, and so much more. I believe this will be a big encouragement to you this week!

Friends, my guest today is a huge delight to have on the Wandering Wilde Podcast! I think of Amy as a soul sister, and I know youâre going to love her as well. Amy and I first met when I photographed her family years ago, and I loved recounting some really powerful words she spoke over me even way back then.
Amy Robbins is a pastoral counselor with nearly two decades of experience in helping individuals with a wide range of issues. She is passionate about helping people get free, truly know who they are in Christ, and experience the Fatherâs presence. She and her husband of 21 years live in Austin with their two children.
In our conversation today, we have a powerful conversation about spending time with the Lord, what that looks like practically, why we can have as much of Jesus as we want, how allowing ourselves to be loved by God impacts life around us, and why it's okay to not be strong all the time. I just know youâre going to leave this episode feeling the invitation to draw closer to the Father.

I feel like I always say this, but I seriously am so excited about this week's episode! It's a unique one as I have the opportunity to welcome my husband, Zach, onto the podcast. Zach and I have known each other for around 10 years and have been married for 7. We have 5 children 5 and under, a 6th on the way, and a new puppy, so if there's ever been a season we need to be in God's Word, it's this one! đ
This may go without saying, but I love Zach a whole lot. He balances me out, he is a great encouragement and support to Wandering Wilde, and he is seriously the best at developing helpful analogies for spiritual living!
In this episode, we talk about how we experience God differently, how spiritual growth mirrors physical fitness, encouragement for both men and women in their spiritual walks, the true value of community, and a whole lot more.
It's so exciting to have Zach on the podcast and I can't wait to hear what you take away! I'd also encourage you to share this episode with your spouse, using it as a launch pad for some important conversation! â¤ď¸

I know I always say it, but friends, Iâm so excited to share this guest and episode with you! Spoiler alert: we talk about prayer. I think prayer is a component of our walk with God that many of us feel insecure about, so Iâm thankful Jennifer and I were able to have a conversation surrounding it!
Jennifer Jackson has such a passion for supporting women in their journey with Jesus. She has served in many ministry roles over the past 30 years, including international missions, childrenâs ministry, and womenâs ministry. She and her husband Doyle live in Columbus, Ohio, and she loves mentoring women by helping them discover what God is offering them.
In this episode, we talk about how we experience Godâs presence in prayer. How to pray, where to pray, when to pray, what keeps us from prayer, and more. Jennifer spoke to many seasons of life during our conversation and encouraged us in such grace-filled ways. I know youâll end your time listening feeling equipped in your prayer life!

Friends, I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode. It had a profound impact on me, and I know it will for you, too.
Kristen Joy and I met thanks to mutual friends and the online world, but I already feel like we are soul sisters! She is a wife, homeschool mom, former pastorâs kid, and a pastorâs wife. Through her own familyâs experiences, Kristen is passionate about encouraging and coming alongside those hurt by the Church.
In this episode, we talk about Kristenâs personal experience with the Church, where God is in our suffering, how we attach our view of God to human leadership, and what a healthy church looks like. Youâll hear Kristenâs passion on why we shouldn't give up on the Church, and I know youâll walk away from this episode with hope!

Raise your hand if you wish you read your Bible more often. I imagine if we were in a room together, youâd look around and see everyoneâs hand up. Friend, so often we live with unrealistic expectations and guilt-ridden reflections about our time spent in Godâs Word. Thatâs why Iâm so excited for you to hear from my friend Brittany today!
Brittany Ann is an author, speaker, and founder of EquippingGodlyWomen.com, a popular website dedicated to helping Christian women of all denominations be ALL IN in faith and family. Sheâs also a wife, mom to three, and an avid chocolate chip cookie lover. Most of all, Brittany is passionate about helping women take their faith off the back burner.
In this episode, we talk about common roadblocks to reading the Bible, lies weâre all often telling ourselves, and practical solutions for overcoming these hurdles! I know youâre going to walk away with encouragement to strengthen your faith, trust, and relationship with the Lord.

Hi, my name is Amelia, and Iâm a control freak. Haha! While thatâs not true of who God says I am, control and surrender are something I resonate with deeply. I bet Iâm not the only one, which is why Iâm so excited to share this episode with you.
Barb Roose is a popular speaker and author who is passionate about teaching women to live beautifully strong and courageous in spite of their fears so that they can experience Godâs great adventure of faith and purpose for their lives. A champion for getting women in Godâs Word, she has written several Bible studies and books. She also hosts the Better Together podcast!
Oh friend, this episode is powerful. Barb lives what she teaches, and youâll hear from a real woman who has experienced depression and anxiety, parenting challenges, family addiction trauma, and long seasons of walking by faith in unanswered prayer. In todayâs episode, youâll feel like a big sister is cheering you on to discover how to finally let go and discover God truly is all we need.

One of the things I'm most grateful for about this podcast is the real conversations we get to have every other week. Today I'm so excited to introduce you to Sarah Zobrist. (And yes, we are related!)
Sarah has experienced a near-death experience from Crohn's disease, a difficult introduction to parenthood, and two miscarriages.
In today's episode, she openly shares her story and how God showed up in her life through each of those experiences. This was such a sweet conversation, and I trust God will use Sarah's story powerfully in your own walk with Him.
Thank you for listening!

It's no secret that this world can let us down. Itâs easy to look around and see brokenness, pain, heartache. We ask the age old question: âWhy do bad things happen?â And yet, the Lord is faithful to us. He never leaves us to walk alone.
Kelsie Barnhart is a friend whose story has encouraged me over and over because of her vulnerability and faithfulness. In todayâs episode, Kelsie shares her own journey of battling breast cancer at 27-years-old. She talks about how God comforted her in the midst of feeling let down, the greater purposes suffering can bring, how to feel joy and mourning at the same time, and so much more. I know youâll be blessed by her today.
This episode is rich with difficult questions and thoughts weâve all had at one time or another. I can't wait to hear how God uses it in your walk with Him.

Disclaimer: Today's episode is about grief, and more specifically about infant loss. This episode is about experiencing God through that grief, but I just wanted to be open upfront that there are specific details about Marti's stillbirth in this conversation.
Our God desires to be with us through each season of life. The beautiful seasons. The hard seasons. And the seasons we are broken.
Marti Sturhahn is such a dear friend who supported me after my miscarriage, and has been so influential in my faith. Today, she shares openly about holding fast to God in the midst of deep loss. I am so grateful for her willingness to be honest about her experience and provide hope and encouragement for when we experience the brokenness of this world.
Friend, you are not alone, and I hope today's episode is a support and encouragement in your own walk with Christ.

We've got a bit of a different podcast for you today. No guest. Just a short message from my heart.
In the Fall of 2019, I found myself just overwhelmed by the noise of life. This ultimately led me to a 21-day journey "wandering the wilderness" to pursue and hear from God. I never would have expected it, but during that experience, God used Song of Solomon to speak so deeply to my heart. Let's be honest... most of us haven't spent that much time in that book, but it sparked a deep curiosity in me to discover what else I have missed in Scripture.
I truly believe there's a reason you're coming across this podcast today. It's not to "pile on" the pressure of spending time with God, but to remind you of the peace He desires for you to experience as you simply sit in His presence. I pray that this podcast truly is an encouragement to you today!

Friends, the journey of creating this podcast has been so fun, and so meaningful to me. I can't wait to introduce you today to my good friend Corrie Easley for a conversation all about forgiveness. (Not an easy topic by any means, but so so needed.)
This has been a topic I've been exploring a lot this past year.
In this episode, Corrie shares honestly about her own challenging journey of forgiveness, how Spirit-led true forgiveness really is, why holding on to unforgiveness perpetuates a cycle of hurt, what healthy boundaries look like, what God says about forgiveness, and so much more.
This conversation is powerful. And I look forward to hearing how God uses it in your walk today.

Friends, I just wanted to express how grateful I am for all of your kind words about Episode 1 of the Wandering Wilde podcast! So many people told us it encouraged them in their walk with Christ, and that's all we could hope for.
I'm so excited about my guest for our second episode, a woman who has been in my life for over 20 years. Her name is Tammy Roozenboom, my mentor, someone I used to babysit for, and a woman who has been a crucial influence that helped lay the foundation of my faith in Christ. She truly has such a heart for the Lord that I believe will be an encouragement to you!
In this episode, we talk about why it's okay if our time with God looks different as seasons in life change, how God has a unique journey and plan for each of us, how we can make pursuing God a part of our rhythm for our families, and you'll be encouraged to focus on what really matters as we pursue Christ. I can't wait to hear what your biggest takeaway is!
At the close of every episode of the podcast, I'll be sharing a little bit about where I've been wandering in my own time with God recently. This week I've been in Proverbs 4 and the word that has consistently come to mind is focus , keeping my gaze on who God is and where He is leading me. I hope this segment is an encouragement to you today!

Can I just say that I am so so excited to FINALLY be launching this podcast! This has been a goal for a while now, and it's really special to see it become a reality. And to make it even more meaningful, my guest for this first episode is such a dear friend to me and has been a steady presence in my life. Camie is one of the most down-to-earth people I know. She and I have been friends for years, have written music together, and have walked through the most difficult seasons together.
In this episode, you'll be challenged to trust, encouraged to stay steady through the real stuff of life we've all experienced this last year, inspired to draw near to God, and a whole lot more.
At the close of every episode of the podcast, I'll also be sharing a little bit about where I've been wandering in my own time with God recently. This week I've been in Philippians 4, considering how when I focus on my Savior and the things of God, peace is always the result. I hope this segment is an encouragement to you today.
