One Stone at a Time: How God Led Us from New Jersey to South Carolina

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind one of the most meaningful practices in our home: our jar of “stones of remembrance.” Inspired by Joshua 3–4, this tradition has become a way for our family to clearly see God’s faithfulness—one stone at a time. Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our move from New Jersey to South Carolina, the unexpected short sale we walked through back in 2008, and the quiet miracles God stacked along the way to guide our steps. If you’re in a season of transition, waiting, uncertainty, or wondering where God is in the middle of your story, this episode will help you slow down and notice the stones in your own life—the small, ordinary reminders that He is still providing, still leading, and still writing a good story. We’ll talk about: – The biblical story of the Jordan River crossing (Joshua 3–4) – What it means to collect “stones of remembrance” – How our family uses a stone jar to track God’s provision – The miracle inside our 2008 short sale – How we went from New Jersey to South Carolina one quiet step at a time – Gentle prompts to help you recognize God’s faithfulness in your own life If you need encouragement today, this one is for you.

When Hosting Feels Like a Leap of Faith

In this episode, I share what it’s been like preparing to host a Friendsgiving before I even have a dining room table. It’s a story about saying yes before I felt ready, and about how God has been teaching me that hospitality isn’t about perfection—it’s about love, connection, and grace. I talk about my grandmother’s beautiful gift of hosting, how her table shaped my heart, and what it looks like to open our homes and hearts again. If you’ve ever felt “not ready” but sensed God calling you to step out anyway, this episode will speak to you. 🕯️ #ChristianPodcast #FaithForWomen #Hospitality #ChristianMotherhood #BiblicalEncouragement #SpiritualGrowth #FaithInEverydayLife

When Life Feels Like a Whale: How God Uses Hard Seasons to Redirect Us

In this first episode, I share the story of my own “whale season”—a time when God interrupted my plans, slowed me down, and used exhaustion, surrender, and unexpected change to reshape my obedience. If you’re walking through a season that feels confusing, heavy, or against your plans, this is for you. Sometimes the whale isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.
