Episode060: Obedience When It Doesn't Make Sense | Brian Lawrence

This episode is all about faithful obedience even when it doesn't make sense to the world or even on paper. In this episode, I chat with my friend, Brian Lawrence about how he and his wife stepped out in faith to be obedient to what God asked them to do. Even when it's scary, even when we don't have the next step laid out for us, even when we can't fully explain it, the Lord wants us to be obedient. You can connect with Brian on LinkedIn.

Episode054: Lies Moms Believe | Rebekah Hargraves

The full title of this episode should be: Lies Moms Believe and How the Gospel Refutes Them, but that felt a little long. If you're a mom of any age or stage, this one is for you. Motherhood is a beautiful and hard job, and we have a huge responsibility as mothers. So Satan would love nothing more than for us to believe the lies he puts on us to question ourselves, our capabilities, and even our God. But the Truth - the Word of God - helps us refute those lies so we can walk boldly and freely in our motherhood. Listen in as Rebekah Hargraves shares how allowing the Gospel to impact her motherhood transformed her and allows us to refute the lies we so often believe.

Episode050: Go + Tell | Lauren Snider

Easter week, or Holy Week, is one of remembrance and celebration for what Christ did on the cross and through His resurrection. We don't want to miss the power of this special week, but we also don't want to leave the celebration of Easter to just one day or week each year. As Christ followers living in a post-resurrection world, we are called to go and tell others of the good news of Jesus Christ and His saving grace. In this episode, we talk about the call on every Christian's life to go + tell others the good news.

Episode049: Raised to Stay | Natalie Runion

Many people are leaving the Church for a variety of reasons: Church hurt, apathy, busy schedules, lack of gospel-centeredness in the church, and more. As a pastor's kid turned pastor, Natalie Runion felt herself questioning if she should stay in the church, too. God specifically told her that she was "raised to stay", so she did. Through speaking, podcasting, writing, and her Instagram account, she's encouraging others to stay as well. In this episode, we talk about why it's important to stay in the church, the impact of living in community, and the way God meets us where we are. We acknowledge the pain that comes from living in community, and the importance of sticking it out, even when it's hard.

Episode044: Bringing Our Offering | Lauren Snider

I recently shared on social media about how our sad excuse for a tree was fulfilling it's purpose by allowing a bird to sit on it's singular branch. I compared this to how we may feel when what we have to offer isn't good enough - but when we bring that offering to the Lord, He can do amazing things with it. This post seemed to really resonate, so in this episode, we are diving deeper into this topic. We are talking about how God is looking for faithful obedience over a large or glamorous offering. He sees the heart of the one bringing the offering, and He is pleased. We can be encouraged that God takes our meager offerings and uses them for His glory and the furthering of His Kingdom.

Episode043: Not a Hot Mess Mom | Lauren Snider

Hot Mess Mom culture has become quite the trend. It perpetuates the idea that if you are a mom, you're automatically a hot mess. It can be silly and funny as we joke about the difficulties of motherhood, but it can also become our identity. In this episode, we talk about how this is not the identity in Christ we are called to take on. The reality is that we are messes without Christ. We talk about how we can't save ourselves, and we need Him to save us. But THAT is our new identity. We are a new creation in Him - and that's what we should be sharing with the world - our identity in Christ - as messed up, but saved mamas.

Episode042: Fostering and Adopting | Desiree Johnson

The journey of fostering and adoption are usually both long and hard. But they are also good, since the Bible tells us to care for widows and orphans. Fostering and adoption are very tangible ways to care for children in need, and we dive into this in this episode. Desiree Johnson felt called to adopt after having two biological children. The Lord led her and her husband to adopt through the process of fostering. Desiree shares how God grew her faith and reliance on Him through this process, and gives us some practical advice and encouragement for those going through the process and those walking alongside someone else on this journey. The Church can and should play a role in fostering and adoption, and this episode will help encourage you as you seek how God wants you to be His hands and feet. Be sure to follow Desiree on Instagram @desireejohnson3.

Episode041: Known by God | Lauren Snider

In today's world, it's so easy to feel lost or lonely right in the middle of a crowd or on an app full of people. We crave to be known, it's an innate desire, but often we look to be known in the wrong places. In this episode, your host, Lauren, talks about being known by El Roi - the God who sees you. This name of God comes from a beautiful (and heartbreaking) story in Genesis, but ultimately, it points us to His character. We are seen, loved, and known by the God who sees. No amount of likes, follows, or subscribers will ever be fulfilling. But being known by the Creator will always be exactly what we need.

Episode031: Armor Up with Lauren Snider

In the book of Ephesians, Paul writes about the armor of God. He compares the armor Roman soldiers of his time would have worn to the spiritual protection we need against the enemy of our souls. In this episode, I (your host, Lauren) dive into each piece of armor and why it's so important to "put on the armor" daily. We have a real enemy - Satan - and he wants to kill, steal, and destroy. But we have been given tools to fight back and keep our eyes on our ultimate Defender.
