Could God use the pain of your past to grow a dream in your heart?

Kim Tschirret grew up in what appeared to be a normal home, but the hidden truth of her father’s alcoholism and abuse was a source of deep pain and secrecy. The only safe place she knew as a child was in her horse’s stable.

By God’s mercy, grace, and eventual healing of her childhood trauma, the story doesn’t end there. In fact, it continues to be told in the healing of more than 2,000 children over the past 15 years who have benefited from her nonprofit ministry called Hope Reins.

Tune in as Kim shares insights on the power of equine therapy for healing childhood trauma and how God planted a dream in her heart for hurting kids to find hope and healing through a relationship with rescued horses.

If you’ve been looking for examples of how God might use your story for a bigger purpose, don’t miss this conversation! It is sure to ignite your faith and give you courage as we talk about:

💡 How God often illuminates purpose through personal healing,
✨ The comfort we receive from God and give in return to the people our dreams serve, and
❤️ Anchoring your day with spiritual practices that nurture your connection with God.

This episode is for you if you have a heart for hurting kids or rescued horses or you just need the reminder that God can use all the broken things for our good and for His glory.

Is life so busy that you can’t imagine making time for a dream?

Whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or somewhere in between; navigating life with teenagers; caring for aging parents or small children; serving in your community or your church, there are countless obligations that compete for your valuable and limited time.

It’s hard to imagine where you’d find “extra” time to write, pursue a business idea, or build the ministry you’ve been dreaming about.

If you’re waiting to find time so you can get serious about a passion project, I’ve got to be honest with you: It won’t just happen. The daily demands of life will always stand in the way of your ambitions.

But what if a shift in perspective could help make space for what matters?

My guest Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast, and this episode is about her journey of seeing her imbalanced life, listening to the Lord, and finally stopping to do something about it.

Listen in and you’ll learn from practical examples about:

🚶‍♀️ How a morning routine can set the tone for a balanced and Christ-centered day,

✨ The importance of trusting God’s plans, especially in challenging times, and

💡 Prioritizing fun and self-care for a spiritually healthy and joyful life.

If you’ve ever struggled to maintain balance in your own life, Vivian’s story offers an encouraging alternative focused on three pillars: God first, self-care, and fun.

May this episode be an encouragement toward more balance in your daily life and a deepening relationship with the Lord.

🤩 Have a God-shaped dream? We have a monthly call where you can share with other Christian women about your dream. Sign up today for our next Community Conversation: https://merrittonsa.com/connect 🤩

Are you waiting for confirmation from God?

You have a big dream but you’ve felt unsure about whether you should take the leap of faith to begin. You’re waiting for God to confirm the idea or give you insight about how you’ll proceed. Once you have confirmation, you’ll go for it, but when will it come? How long should you wait with your dream on hold?

In this episode, I’m tackling three pervasive myths that can paralyze even the most passionate dreamers, including the belief that you need clear confirmation from God to begin.

Through Scripture and anecdotes from dreamers who are taking action, we’ll uncover how procrastination, fear of failure, and perfectionism can hinder your progress.

If you’re a Christian woman with a big dream, this episode is your invitation to embrace a new way of looking at how to push past these obstacles, start small, and embrace the unknown with a growing faith in Christ.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔍 How to identify and overcome the myths that will delay your dream,

💫 What you can do if you’re caught in the trap of procrastination, and

💡 The remarkable value of embracing uncertainty even when you’d rather play it safe.

Listen in and discover the freedom to walk with God into your dream, fully confident that you have everything you need to move forward.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for the encouragement to take a big leap, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration to help you bring your God-shaped dream to life.

Press play and let’s get started!
