It's Like This. Conversations with Laura Seifert

#54 A Conversation about Faith and Business 

Join me as I chat with a good friend, Aryn Guillory, Owner and Lead Designer of Oyster Creek Studios about how faith impacts your business and how your business impacts your faith. This is our last full episode of season 4 and trust me you won’t want to miss it! 

#53 The Rewind: Knit Together 

Looking back at my conversation on Attachment Theory, I was reminded how God created each of us so specifically and taken each of us through unexpected seasons of life. Relationships can be messy. Life can be hard. BUT Jesus is present in all of that. I hope this episode reminds you that tough seasons are never wasted. God will take them, and show up in them and bring healing into them if we will let Him. Press in to Jesus today. 

#52 A Conversation about Attachment Theory

Today, I talk with Susannah Baker about Attachment Theory. Before you skip along because of the word “theory” take a moment to think about what it would mean if you felt seen, soothed, safe, and secure in all of your relationships. Or, as a parent, think about what it means to make your children feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure in your relationship. And, ultimately, what does it mean to be a child of God and feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure. 

#50 A Conversation about Reconciliation 

Should I stay or should I go? Over the years I’ve met with women who are walking through very difficult seasons in their marriage. When I say difficult, I mean more than “we just don’t get along” or “we’re disconnected.” The women I’m taking about are experiencing emotional abuse and more in their marriages. When talking with them, I often hear about a tape rolling in their mind that says, “If I’m a good Christian I have to stay in this relationship no matter what.” 

Today, I have a lot of questions for Matt Barnhill, MA, CART at Barnhill from Associates Counseling Center. Some of these questions are ones I’ve received from women in these exact situations and some are questions I’ve had as a friend walking alongside them. My hope today is to open the conversation about when you should stay and when you should go.

What do you need today? Sleep? Peace? Answers? Today, I reflect on my conversation with Audrey Stewart (from episode #40). She talked about her struggle to sleep and ultimately her learning that sleep is a good gift from God. Join me today as I look at James to see how God gives good gifts to each of us.

#40 A Conversation with Audrey Stewart 

Finding God in sleep. Yes, I said that right. Today I talk with Audrey about the various  seasons throughout life, where things (or babies, or people) keep us up at night. Tossing and turning, trying all the things to rest but ultimately being awake. Audrey, recently discovered God and His gift of sleep for her. If you’ve ever tossed and turned give this a listen.

#38 A conversation with Shelley Hernandez and Tena Roher

Join me as I chat with two women who are currently teaching in the public school system. Today’s conversation is about loving Jesus in your work, including the classroom. I hope todays episode takes fear out of the conversation around school choice and brings in truth of what it looks like to love Jesus wherever He has called you.

The Rewind: Breanna Hansen

God, do you see me? God, do you care? Yes. The answer is yes - even if you don’t see Him moving the way you want. Today I’m going to look at John 21 and Peter who has experienced a season of needing to see Jesus. I hope this episode reminds you that whatever season you are in God is in it too. 

Each week on "The Rewind" I'll take a closer look at the previous weeks conversation. I'll look at Scripture and things that come to mind based off of last weeks episode. SO, if you haven't listened to Episode #36 with Breanna Hansen, go back and listen.

#35 The Rewind: Grace Egert 

Do you feel like you’ve blown it as a parent? Maybe you feel like you blew it 20 years ago when your kids were little. Or, maybe you blew it by 7am this morning when juggling spilled milk and countless demands. There are so many ways as parents that we feel like we “blow it” …daily.  Let’s look at Psalm 34:7 and see the Lords desire for us as parents. I hope today reminds you that the pressure is off. God is giving us each a season of time with our kids to steward them well in tandem with a season to simply be present and enjoy our kids. 

Each week on "The Rewind" I'll take a closer look at the previous weeks conversation. I'll look at Scripture and things that come to mind based off of last weeks episode. SO, if you haven't listened to Episode #34 with Grace Egert, go back and listen.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “Woah, too much!” Or maybe “I”m not _____ enough." Ya, me too. Last week I talked with Tara Austin, owner of Ruthie Grace Boutique, on my podcast and we had a great conversation about the role clothing has in our life. Today on The Rewind,  I’ll focus on Genesis 2 and look back at one of the first outfit choices in the Bible.  I hope today's episode reminds you that God is trustworthy in ALL things and He is for you. 

Each week on "The Rewind" I'll take a closer look at the previous weeks conversation. I'll look at Scripture and things that come to mind based off of last weeks episode. SO, if you haven't listened to Episode #32 with Tara Austin, go back and listen.

Meet Dr. Jessica Peck, a pediatric nurse practitioner in primary care, who over the last 20 years has engaged, encouraged, equipped, and empowered families to raise holistically healthy kids. She guides parents through those challenging parenting moments in an effort to escape shame and stigma with grace, hope, and courage. And, I’m telling you as a parent of a 14 and 16 year old, reading her new book “Behind Closed Doors” and having this conversation with her addresses everything that keeps me up at night. She is gifted at taking uncomfortable topics and making them comfortable.

I hope this episode reminds you that you have the power to be the one your child talks to - because if they aren’t talking to you about it, they are talking to someone else.

Finding God in Unexpected ways, that’s what this podcast is all about. Join me as I sit down with Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author and author behind The Big Mama Blog, as we chat about all things unexpected to us but very expected to our God. 

I hope today’s episode reminds you that even when we can feel like the most unlikely to accomplish God’s plan we very well are the most likely when we are walking in step with Him.

Season 3. Episode 27.

The first one to run to the tomb, the one who wept, and the one who heard her name called by Jesus - Mary Magdalene. That's who I'm talking about today. She is such a beautiful reminder of how Jesus wants us to abide with Him this Easter season.

I hope today's episode reminds you that darkness is real but so is Jesus. He is real. What we see in Mary's life is true for each of our lives. The reality is, you'll hear about Jesus at church and see him through worship. But, it's all together different when you hear Him call your name.

Is it possible for a man of faith to lead in a public school system? You better believe it. Proof in point is Thad Roher. In our final episode of season one of It's Like This, I chat with Thad about leading a melting pot of belief systems, personalities, policy changes and the ever changing culture we are all part of.

“It’s all by accident.” That’s exactly how Lincee Ray describes how she became an author, speaker, podcast host, and writer. While it very well might have been an accident from her point of view, it was all perfectly orchestrated and not a surprise to God. Listen along to hear Lincee’s journey to finding God in unexpected places.

Join me as I have a conversation with Joy Eggerichs Reed about the up’s, down’s, and curveballs of life. Joy is the founder of Punchline Agency and is the definition of boss babe. She’s also the daughter and former Conference Director of Dr. Emmerson Eggerichs, author of Love and Respect. Most importantly, Joy is a wife and mom who has lived life and seen God move in ways she never expected.

*Full disclosure, this episode runs a little longer but it’s worth it.*

Do grown women still have conflicts with friends?! 

Yes, we sure do and I’m here to prove it. Sometimes we think hurts go away as we get older but the reality is that rejection can still make its way into full blown adult friendships. Join me and a best friend of mine, Jamie Schneringer, as we talk through how to resolve conflict in friendships.

Is God in the waiting? Is He there when you're waiting to find the perfect man? How about when you're waiting to get pregnant when *all* your friends are multiplying the nations? Maybe you're waiting for that next big career move. Whatever your season of waiting looks like God is there, no doubt. But, my friend Courtney Garett and I can easily remember some big seasons of waiting where we were so focused on our circumstance at hand that we almost missed what God was really doing in our lives.
