Stop Giving Wife Privileges (feat. AJ Norman)

Stop Giving Wife Privileges (feat. AJ Norman)

Our conversation about being INTENTIONALLY SINGLE continues to be our top downloaded episode across all audio platforms, so AJ Norman is BACK to talk about readying our hearts and minds to start intentionally DATING. In this episode, we talk about getting clear about what you actually WANT (not just what you've settled for), the boundaries we set BEFORE we ever even go on the first date, and the wife privileges so many of us are handing out to random strangers. COMMENT with more questions to tackle of for our next conversation!!

For the Love of MONEY (1 Timothy 6:10)

Sometimes the thing you thought would give you freedom can slowly start running your life... In this episode, I’m being really honest about the ways I accidentally let my business, ambition, money, and irrational ideas of success start running me instead of allowing God to lead me. If your work, your business, or your desire for “more” has started burning you out, costing you your peace, or turning you into someone you never wanted to become, this conversation is for you (and this will be one of many).

God Gave You a Voice (Jeremiah 1:9)

I’m recording this one from a messy hotel room in Anaheim, the night before speaking to 5,000 people -- and, YES, I still get scared!! In this episode, I’m sharing the Bible verses I read when the self-doubt gets loud, especially before a big conversation or a presentation. If you need a little extra something to give you the confidence to say THE thing, here's a reminder of how God is always with you and will give you the words.

When You Didn't Get the News You Wanted (John 9:3)

This episode is deeply personal and, honestly, I’m still processing it. Over the weekend, I heard about a mother, an unexpected diagnosis, and a choice a woman should never have to make. (It hit particularly close to home, because of the many years I've spent volunteering with families, who know what it's like to get the same news that she did.) My heart is absolutely shattered for her, and I hope this conversation opens your mind and softens your heart, and perhaps you may find that some of the unwanted news you've received in your life can still be displays of God's greatest works.

Trusting God Through GRIEF (feat. Jessica Janzen)

In this episode, we're joined by one of my favorite people, Jessica Janzen, who trusted the nudge to talk about how to open up when your world is falling apart, what it was like to get the news that her baby boy was suffering a life-threatening illness, and how she managed to bring the joy during the most heartbreaking season of her whole life. (You're going to want to grab tissues for this one -- you might even prefer to watch the VIDEO of this show -- and you can also expect to belly laugh feeling like you're already best friends with her too.)
