Stop Thinking, Start Doing: Flipping the Script on Your Inner Critic

Have you ever felt trapped in a loop of negative thoughts? In today’s episode, we dive into why our brains are wired for safety and how that "safety" often keeps us from the growth God has for us.

Learn how to use your "action muscle," find perfect peace through Isaiah 26:4, and discover why the quickest way to change your mind is to move your feet. In this episode, we talk about: * Why your unconscious mind tries to keep you safe (and why you should ignore it). * The difference between a thought and an action. * Abby’s "dump on the go" failure and how action created courage. * Anchoring your trust in the "Eternal Rock."

Together in the Field: Reconnecting to Joy

This week on Rooted & Rising, I’m sharing a moment from the grain cart—dusty boots, golden skies, and all. In the middle of harvest season chaos, I found myself reconnecting to the joy in some of the most unexpected and expected ways: being in the field with my husband, not side-by-side, but still deeply together. The farm has always been a big part of my life and I'm so excited to have been able to fully embrace it this year. We’re talking about sacred togetherness, the beauty of showing up even when life is busy, and the little moments that remind us joy is still here. Whether you're knee-deep in harvest or in your own season of hard work, this episode is for you. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 Theme: Connection, Joy, and Presence in the Field
