Dancing to Heavenly Music - Episode #317
9 september 2019 · 41 min
In a fallen world, where sin, death, and darkness have marred and hidden so many truths that God originally created us to know, we must look for the original patterns and follow diligently after them. I believe the reason so many are captivated by epic stories is because we were made to be a part of great adventure, divine beauty, and magnificent love. Lees meer

Gospel Moments for Everyday Motherhood - Episode #316
5 september 2019 · 43 min
Motherhood is hard. In a world of five-step lists and silver-bullet solutions to become perfect parents, mothers are burdened with mixed messages about who they are and what choices they should make. If you feel pulled between high-fives and hard words, with culture's solutions only raising more questions, you're not alone. Lees meer
But there is hope!!!!
Today, I talked with Emily and Laura from Risen Motherhood about the ups and downs of motherhood and how to bring the love and grace of God into each moment.

Become What You Behold, with Ruth Chou Simons - Episode #315
4 september 2019 · 45 min
I so enjoy having friends who inspire me and who have messages that fill my heart. Ruth Chou Simons is such a friend.

We recently recorded a podcast together of some of the issues we have both experienced in this long journey of life as a woman, a spouse, a working writer and a mother. I hope you will be encouraged by our time together. I also am excited to share her new book with you because it is so beautiful and so encouraging. Lees meer

Exchanging Duty & Drudgery with Delight - Episode #314
2 september 2019 · 42 min
No matter how hard we try, how many achievements we make, or how many ideals we keep, we will never be able to do enough to earn God's love. Such attempts lead us down a dead-end road paved with feelings of life-depleting guilt and condemnation. Only the grace and love that God gives freely through his merciful nature can provide us with that which we long for: peace and joy. Lees meer

Surviving Dark Nights of the Soul - Episode #313
28 augustus 2019 · 34 min
When these tests come upon us, it is our one moment when we can look at our circumstances, feel our feelings of despair, and then choose to say, "I don't understand, but I believe and I will wait, and I will rest, as an act of my will, because you are the Lord of Hosts and you are my Father."

Real Marriage 2: The Need for Hedges as Well as Light in Our Relationships - Episode #311
21 augustus 2019 · 31 min
To build anything great and strong requires time. But a hedge of strength, protecting, guarding the beauty inside is a safe-guard from destroying the sacred trust. Marriage is one of the most profound ways God designed for us so that we could slowly learn and develop in our own lives, the very character of Christ, learning to serve, love, and give ourselves as He did for us. Lees meer
We hope you'll enjoy this podcast today, as Kristen and Misty are again joining me to talk about marriage!

Real Marriage 1: The Ease of Making Vows vs. The Difficulty of Keeping Them - Episode #309
14 augustus 2019 · 46 min
Marriage is meant to be a picture of the love Christ has for the church; His commitment and persevering faithfulness to us. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. He laid down his life for us. Jesus treasures marriage because it is the holy place where His love for the world is modeled by how we practice giving to one another and staying the course of our commitment. What might you do to strengthen your own marriage, today? Lees meer

Joy Grows When Burdens Are Shared - Episode #308
12 augustus 2019 · 41 min
I have had several podcasts lately about friendship. I almost didn't play this one today because I wanted to be sure you had not heard too much about friendship from me lately. Yet, in this podcast, I realized that there have been crucial dark moments in my life when I would have floundered or fallen apart if I had not had friends to carry me, to comfort me, to guide me when I couldn't see where I was going. So I hope that you will listen to this podcast today and be encouraged once again about how vitally it is to understand that much of our joy is sustained through relationships with people who have chosen to love us, to help us, to be committed.

When Life Gets Tough, Put On Lipstick - Episode #307

Learning to Expect Miracles (DWMHF #6) - Episode #304
29 juli 2019 · 41 min
We can make a commitment to take every situation, every feeling, every fear to God as it happens. We don't have to remain in a state of emotional separation from the Lord every time we get out of step. We simply have to practice walking each step with him and allow his presence to bring us the joy that comes from resting in the arms of our capable dance partner through each measure of life's song.

Join me today in my podcast where I share the story of my being in Communist Poland as a young, single women wondering if I was even capable or adequate to being a missionary.

Nothing Separates Us From the Love of God - Episode #298
8 juli 2019 · 38 min
"God's desire is for us to experience true joy and deep fulfillment. It must start, however, with the journey into the recesses of our heart.

Building A Palace Takes Time: C.S.Lewis & Michael Ward - Episode #296
1 juli 2019 · 46 min
C.S. Lewis is one of my heroes. I love his writing and thinking. Yet, I appreciate him even more because of his very difficult life. He wrote great psychology of many characters not just because of his imagination, but because of the experiences of His life which taught him to forge through the dark times to strain into the light.

Longing to Find A Way Forward in Darkness - Episode #292
17 juni 2019 · 33 min
God does not intend us to be filled with anger and frustration and disappointment. Sometimes when we want to blame God, we refuse to see that we have not walked His ways, or followed His paths, and so our lives and our souls are filled up with the world of man, which will always carry with it confusion and grief. How can we learn to instead dance with our Heavenly Father? Lees meer

Finding Quiet & Peace as an Introverted Mom - Episode #279
8 mei 2019 · 37 min
Today, in my podcast, I talk with my friend, Jamie Martin, about her new book called: Introverted Mom: Your Guide to More Calm, Less Guilt, and Quiet Joy Lees meer
I wish I had this book when I was a young mom because I think it would have given me permission to seek some quiet, soul filling time without guilt. It took me years to learn this truth. So many moms I know have said, "You know, I used to think I was an extrovert but now I think I might be an introvert."

Teatime Discipleship: Lifegiving Table #10 - Episode #277
1 mei 2019 · 28 min
Over time, my teatime habit became a foundational discipling tool for me.

LG Table 8: Feasting and Living Out of Grace - Episode #275
24 april 2019 · 31 min
Cultivating a lifegiving table is all about helping those who gather around it to know the love of God and to understand His truths, laying foundations of faith that will serve them years after they go out into the world. Intentionally crafting words and messages to share along with the food we serve and the conversations we enjoy is a part of my role as hostess and as mama. Table talks are where lightbulbs come on, where ideas are fully embraced as they are discussed, where love is received as it is generously poured out. Lees meer

Episode #271: Feasting & Living Out of Grace: Lifegiving Table #8
10 april 2019 · 33 min
I've come to believe in the profound importance of snack meals—meals that are easy, nourishing, and restful. They can absolutely save your sanity during those crazy times. But here's another benefit: When you bring beauty and rest into the occasional chaos of your life, you are teaching your children how to prepare for the storms of life and live well through them.

Episode #269: Fun, Faith, and Feasting: Lifegiving Table #7
3 april 2019 · 25 min
Sometimes I think that grace is best experienced through greasy pizza and gentle curiosity. Lees meer
To me, this strategy was not only a home philosophy, but a disciple- ship principle put in action—perhaps the most important one of all: Discipleship happens at every moment along the way—morning, night, and every time in between.

Episode #263: LG Table: Sunday Morning Feasts
13 maart 2019 · 22 min
Why is it so important to us? Why did I go to the extra trouble of yet another special meal on yet another morning—especially when church offered doughnuts? Because we are building pathways in our hearts and brains that connect us to thousands of hours spent over years in this way, reminding all of us what we believe and cherish together, what we hold dear, what keeps us faithful through one more table and one more pancake shared over many times of consuming pancakes and French Toast. Lees meer

Episode #261: The Urgency of Rest and Restoration
8 maart 2019 · 31 min
Sometimes, when we have piles of responsibility on our plate, we start to place a lot of energy, worry and fear into the issues of our lives and fret.

Episode #258: Hidden Places, Oxford & Pizza
25 februari 2019 · 34 min
Throughout life, it is in resting in His presence and strength and power and goodness that will put our hearts at rest. It is only when we patiently face the storms confiding, "This is too big for me to handle, but I am asking you to handle it for me," and then learn to wait--and sometimes wait and wait and wait!--that we will see His purpose, ways and yes, salvation from our storms. I wish I had learned at a much earlier age not to struggle so and worry and fret--it did me no good, and now I see how very faithful God was--He just didn't always do it my way! Lees meer
