Tired of the Holiday Hustle?
The Holiday Hustle starts earlier every year. Before the last of the Halloween candy has been eaten, stores are piping in Christmas music and flashing “limited time only” sales. The commercials tell us that the magic of Christmas comes in a gift bag or a decorated box. We scroll through picture-perfect tablescapes on social media, and somewhere deep down we start to feel like maybe we’re not doing enough. Or maybe we’re doing it wrong. If you’ve had all you can take of the Holiday Hustle, lis...

Finding Faith in Yourself
One of the hardest things we can be asked to do is to believe in ourselves. For a lot of us, it’s easy to believe that God is good. We can believe He’s powerful, loving, and able to work miracles. We can believe that He answers prayer and that He guides people’s lives. But when it comes to believing that He can do something through us — well, that’s where we start to hesitate.

Finding Time for Devotion
Finding time for devotion is one of those things that sounds easy in theory. We imagine ourselves sitting at a sunny table with our Bible open and a gentle breeze floating through the window. But in reality, we might be snatching a few minutes in the middle of the grocery store parking lot before running inside or reading a verse on our phone while waiting in line at the bank. If you struggle to find time in your day for devotions, then listen in. I’ll help you find a few of those precious mo...

Integrating Faith Into Your Simple Life
Sometimes, the more complicated life gets, the easier it is for faith to be tucked into the corners instead of standing front and center. It’s not that we ever mean for that to happen. It just seems like the busyness of schedules, chores, unexpected events, and the little emergencies that pop up, all have a way of crowding in. Before we realize it, our days are running us instead of us running our days. If you are struggling to find a way to incorporate a little more faith in your simpl...

Showing Yourself Gratitude
There is one area of gratitude we don’t talk about very often, and that’s the kind we need to extend to ourselves. Just saying that out loud might make some of us a little uncomfortable, and dare I say it, feel as if it’s ‘self-centered’. But – are you ready for this? Brace yourself, because I’m here to tell you—it’s not. It’s not selfish, prideful, or self-serving. Not in the least. Join me on the porch today as we talk about the value and importance of offering ourselves the grace of gratit...

Teach Your Children How to Be Grateful
Gratitude is a lot like a seed. You can hold it in your hand, admire its potential, and even carry it around with you - but until you plant it and tend to it, it doesn’t really grow. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s this: if we want to grow grateful hearts in our children, we have to do more than tell them to say “thank you.” We have to show them what it means to live a thankful life. Listen in and find ways to help you cultivate gratitude in your child – and how it ...

Showing Gratitude Within Your Community
When we think about gratitude, we usually picture quiet moments - those still, peaceful pauses where we reflect and give thanks. But that’s just one facet of the glittering gem we call ‘gratitude’. In this podcast, we’ll take a look at gratitude from another angle. Not the kind that stays tucked neatly in your heart or scribbled in a journal, but the kind that moves. The kind that rolls up its sleeves, steps outside the door, and says, “How can I show my thanks right here, right now, in this ...
