Trust Their Heart: Building a Mother-in-Law & Daughter-in-Law Relationship with Shawn Groves

In this special episode, I'm joined by my mother-in-law, Shawn Groves, to talk about trust, family, and the unique relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Together, we discuss God's design for marriage and family, the importance of trust, and how healthy relationships are built through consistency, respect, and grace over time. Shawn shares the best advice she ever gave me: "Trust their heart," and we explore how that simple wisdom has shaped our relationship and strengthened our family. Drawing inspiration from the story of Ruth and Naomi, we talk about what it looks like to intentionally invest in one another, build trust through both joyful and difficult seasons, and create a family legacy that brings people together rather than drives them apart. Whether you're a mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, or simply hoping to build stronger family connections, I pray this conversation encourages you to lead with trust, choose respect, and invest in the relationships God has given you.

We Thought Our Story Would Be Different: 3 Miscarriages and a Promise

This is one of the most personal stories I’ve ever shared. It starts with a moment I’ll never forget. My husband walking through the front door, completely shaken. He had just experienced something that would change everything. He felt God clearly promise that we would have a son. That same night, we found out we were pregnant. And then we experienced not one, but three back-to-back pregnancy losses. Through the heartbreak, God began to teach us something deeper: how to trust Him even when the story doesn’t make sense. This episode is about learning to hold onto His promise instead of our own plans, and trusting that even when God isn’t changing your circumstances, He is still working in you, through you, and for you. If you’re in a season of loss, waiting, or uncertainty, I hope this reminds you that your story isn’t over. God is still writing it.
