How do you become the woman you’ve always wanted to be? The answer can be found in the things you do every day. Whether you realize it or not, your habits shape who you are. And there’s something so freeing about that.  You don’t have to wait for some major moment to step [...]

Are you the kind of person who struggles to ask for help? When things get tough, are you left to pick up the pieces on your own? I want you to know that God never meant for you to deal with life alone. You deserve a supportive community that is consistently in your [...]

When was the last time you felt the presence of God? I’m talking about “a calm in the middle of the storm” kind of peace that just rushes over you. The kind of peace that you shouldn’t have based on your circumstances, yet somehow it covers you completely. What if I told you [...]

How does your home make you feel? When you come home after a long day, do you feel free to rest, or does stress meet you at the door?   As a wife and mom, I know what it’s like to feel completely overwhelmed by the dishes piled up in the sink or loads [...]

Do you ever reach the end of summer and feel like it just slipped through your fingers? That somehow, even with the slower pace and longer days, the things you meant to get to didn’t quite happen? I still remember those long summer days from my childhood — the kind that seemed to [...]

My friend, I’ve got a question for you. How are you doing?  I know you probably get asked that question all the time; at the grocery store, at church, and even at home. After a while, the question loses its value, causing you to give a quick “I’m fine” without a second thought. [...]

Just for a second, I want you to think of the most confident woman you know. How does she walk into a room? What words does she speak over herself and others? How does she respond in difficult moments? Well, here’s the thing: the same confidence you see in her lives inside of [...]

How often do you talk to God about your finances? I know how easy it is to try to navigate the stress and strain of money problems on your own, but things become so much clearer when you partner with the One who provides all of your needs. I know that this way [...]

How would your life change if you were more confident? If you’re tired of playing small, there’s no better time than now to step into the fullness of who you are.  True confidence doesn’t happen overnight. It’s difficult to believe the best about yourself when you’ve lived most of your life feeling less [...]

Do you find yourself feeling like you’re behind in life? When your reality isn’t lining up with your dreams, it’s easy to miss out on what God is trying to cultivate in you. Just think about it. When a flower blooms, you don’t see everything it took to get to that point. You [...]

What do you do when your dreams get derailed? When things don’t pan out the way you planned, disappointment can take root in your heart. However, I’m here to tell you that a delayed dream doesn’t have to be the end of your story. I know that these moments can be some of [...]

What does it really cost to say yes to God? That’s the question Brenda Palmer has been living her way into, and we unpacked it in this conversation. Brenda is a communicator, preacher, and first-time author whose new book, The Journey of Yes: The Everyday Adventure of Radical Obedience, traces the beautiful and [...]

Do you ever wish you could quiet the noise in your mind? When you find yourself drifting along with your thoughts in the wrong direction, it’s time to think about what you’re thinking about. It’s not necessarily easy to do, but if you want to realize all that God has planned for your [...]

What happens when you discover your identity in God? When you allow Him to define who you are, don’t be surprised when you become completely unrecognizable, even to yourself. And it’s worth it. God’s plan for your life is far better than anything you could ever dream for yourself. There’s so much power [...]

What do people say about you when you’re not in the room, and more importantly, is it true? That’s the heart of this conversation. Whether you’re confident in your personal brand or you don’t even know what that means, I want to help you live a life that’s on brand, not according to [...]

Do you feel like you've drifted away from your goals? Maybe you feel like time has come and gone, and you’re still in the same place you were years ago. If you’ve found yourself veering off track and losing focus, you’re not alone. At one point or another, drift happens to most people. [...]

Are you staying awake for your life? If you’ve found yourself simply coasting along, you could look up one day full of regret for the moments you missed. As someone who is driven by setting and achieving goals, I have to remind myself to stop and smell the roses. When I’m intentional about [...]

What’s on your mind? Really, I want to know. If you were to take inventory of your thoughts right now, which ones would rise to the top? When you find yourself focused on your worries and concerns, you leave little room for joy and peace to reside. As someone who knows what it’s [...]

How do you recover after you’ve let yourself down? When the motivation begins to wane and the guilt begins to set in, you can find yourself in a low place. But my friend, you can’t stay there.  The enemy wants nothing more than for you to wallow in your shortcomings until it becomes [...]

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. And it definitely isn’t approval. But it is freedom—and in this talk, we walk through how to forgive what still hurts, especially when the memory won’t let go. In this video, we explore: Why forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened How to process pain with God instead of pretending it [...]
