Episode 89: Living the Abundant Life: Finding Your Purpose, Trusting God, and Bearing the Light with Beckie Shellenberger

What does it really mean to live abundantly—not by the world’s standards, but by God’s design? In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Becky Shellenberger—author, educator, mom, and founder of Bear the Light, LLC, home of the Lighthouse Bear Project—to talk about discovering your God-given purpose, walking through seasons of uncertainty, and learning to trust God even when life feels heavy. Becky shares how a Christian life-coaching program helped her realize that every person is born carrying a unique “light,” and how that revelation inspired her to create The Incredible Teddy Bear alongside her son’s original story. Drawing from over 20 years in the mental health field, Becky opens up about the importance of identity, healing, and helping others recognize their worth. She also vulnerably shares a deeply challenging season where her word for the year—“trust”—was put to the test through her son’s serious car accident, her husband losing his job, and unexpectedly losing her own job as well. Through it all, Becky reveals the rhythms and habits that continue to anchor her faith today. In this episode, we talk about: • What abundant living truly looks like as a Christian woman • How to discover and walk in your God-given purpose • Why every person carries a unique “light” from God • The inspiration behind The Incredible Teddy Bear and the Lighthouse Bear Project • How Becky’s background in mental health shaped her mission and message • Walking through grief, uncertainty, and unexpected life changes with faith • What it means to trust God when life feels out of control • Daily habits and spiritual rhythms that help sustain a strong faith If you’ve been feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your purpose, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting the One who placed the light within you.

Episode 88: The RESTored Table | A Monthly Christian Women’s Gathering for Rest, Prayer & Renewal

Have you been longing for a space to slow down, exhale, and simply sit at the feet of Jesus—surrounded by women who are seeking Him too? In this episode, Mackenzi shares the heart behind a new free monthly Zoom gathering, The RESTored Table. What began as a desire to stay connected beyond conferences has grown into something deeper—a space for ongoing encouragement, renewal, and genuine community. These gatherings are designed to be a place where you can come as you are. Each month will include worship, prayer, and intentional time to sit, listen, and receive—without pressure to perform, speak, or share your story unless you feel led. There will also be an opportunity to receive prayer. Women can simply raise their hand, and others will share any words, Scripture, or images they feel prompted to offer—always with the freedom to receive what resonates and bring it back to the Lord personally. And for this very first gathering, there’s something extra special—an announcement will be shared on May 11th, and the women who join live will be the very first to hear it.
