Ever felt like you’re stuck in a season of waiting? Oh friend, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca George, author of You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World. Rebecca shares her honest journey of longing, waiting, and learning to trust God’s timing—even when life felt like it was moving without her.

We talk about everything from divine timing (including a sweet story about a prayer bench in the Smoky Mountains!) to what olive trees in Israel taught Rebecca about patience and faith. Plus, we dig into why weakness isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of God's strength shining through.

If you’re in a season of wondering, waiting, or asking “when, Lord?”—this episode will remind you: His timing really is perfect.

Ever feel torn between what you should do and what you want to do? Oh friend, you’re not alone—and this week’s episode with the amazing Heidi White dives straight into that tension.

Heidi is a teacher, speaker, and author of Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life, joins me to unpack the stories we live and the ones we tell—through scripture, literature, and real life.

We talk about Adam and Eve, the prodigal son, and how our desires and responsibilities pull us in opposite directions (hello, relatable!). You’ll walk away with fresh perspective, grace for your journey, and maybe a little “aha” moment or two.

I’ve walked with Jesus long enough to realize how easy it is to get caught up in being a “Christian” but somehow forget about Christ!

In this episode, I reflect on the incredible story of Jesus—His life, His love, and His sacrifice that literally changed everything. From Bethlehem to the cross, we dive into who Jesus really is and why that matters deeply for your faith journey.

I’ll walk you through John’s Gospel, C.S. Lewis’ famous question about Jesus, and what it means for us today.

Ready to rekindle your faith?

If you need a fresh perspective, a spiritual reset, or discover for the first time why Jesus is so wonderful, let's do it—together.

No one wants to lead an insignificant life. Nor do we want to pass on generational dysfunction. But what if your legacy isn’t just what you leave behind—but what you set in motion? In this episode, I sit down with Bill High, founder of Legacy Stone Ministries, to talk about faith, family, and the power of intentional legacy.

We unpack how our culture’s obsession with independence is reshaping families—and how reclaiming a biblical view of community and generational ties can change everything. Bill shares how storytelling, value statements, and small moments of integrity shape the legacy we pass on.

This one will encourage you to reflect, realign, and reimagine the impact you’re making—right now.

Feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress? You’re not alone! Most of us live with more stress and less peace and calm than we’d like. And here’s the crazy part: much of the stress we feel is self-inflicted!

But there is a better way. In this episode, we chat about shifting from stress to peace by focusing on what we can control rather than worrying about what we can’t control—like our schedules, stuff, and mindset. Inspired by Jesus' rhythm of rest and reflection, I’ll show you how making space (literally and emotionally!) can lead to a calmer, more joyful life.

We dive into real-life stressors like people-pleasing, procrastination, and even social media overload, and I offer simple, practical steps to lighten your load. It’s all about progress, not perfection—and a whole lot of grace.

Let’s do this together!

What do a former litigator, an author, and a mama with a heart for faith have in common? Meet Wendy Beylik, who joins me for a conversation about her journey from the courtroom to storytelling—and how God used every step along the way. We chat about faith and resilience, just in time for Easter.

Wendy shares a pivotal moment in which the largest protest in history opened her eyes to see that Pro-woman is Pro-Life, whether that means caring for the sick, the overlooked, or the unborn. We celebrate strong women—like Fannie Lou Hamer and Mother Teresa—who used faith, wit, and love to change the world. Inspired by their stories, we can change our corner of the world.

What if your past didn’t define your future—but prepared you for it? In this episode, I sit down with Jimelle Carlson, founder of Foundations Cognitive School, who went from being an unwanted child in a home full of alcoholism, abuse, and neglect to a powerful advocate for children and education. Her story is one of faith, resilience, and discovering self-worth in God’s love.

We dive into how unhealed wounds can lead to cycles of shame and poor choices—and how breaking free starts with allowing Christ to work IN you, rather than hoping He’ll magically change those around you. Jamel shares how she overcame trauma, built a life of purpose, and now helps others do the same.

We also explore how to raise resilient kids by allowing them to learn through struggles, build confidence, and find strength in challenges. If you’ve ever doubted your worth or wondered how to move forward, this conversation will inspire and encourage you.

Don’t miss it!
