023 - You Don't Need the Whole Plan

024 - The Sacred Summer Slowdown (Part 1)

Summer has a way of changing our rhythms. School ends, schedules loosen, the days get longer—and yet many of us still struggle to slow down. Together we'll talk about: • Why women often feel guilty about slowing down • The pressure of comparison and trying to create the “perfect summer” • The fear that everything will fall apart if we stop striving • How exhaustion impacts our joy, patience, relationships, and spiritual health • Why rest is actually an act of trust and spiritual warfare Jesus offers a simple invitation in Matthew 11:28-29: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This summer, maybe God isn't asking you to do more. Maybe He's inviting you to slow down and receive His rest. Challenge for the Week: Begin thinking about practical ways you can build more margin, rest, and intentional slowing down into your summer months.

023 - You Don't Need the Whole Plan

This week in The Pink Seat, Susie shares her story of being called into ministry and what she's learned about following Jesus without having all the answers. If you've ever felt God nudging you toward something new but hesitated because you couldn't see the whole picture, this episode is for you. Through personal stories, practical encouragement, and a few fun memories from a sisters' trip to New York City, you'll be reminded that God isn't asking for perfection—He's asking for obedience. Your next step may be all He wants you to see right now.

022 - Finding God in the Unimaginable - with special guest Amy Reid

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Susie’s sister as she shares the unimaginable loss of her son in a motorcycle accident—and the faith that carried her through it. This is a story of heartbreak, questions, and ultimately, encountering God in the darkest places. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your pain, this conversation will meet you there.

021 - Running Late for the Right Reasons

This week we’re catching up on life — from trying new things, to a slightly traumatic eye doctor appointment, and to finally meeting our neighbors after almost two years! Then we dive into a reminder we all need: unrush yourself. Sometimes we ask God to use us, but we’re too focused on our schedules, routines, and to-do lists to notice the opportunities He places right in front of us. Whether it’s putting your phone down when your child walks into the room or simply looking up long enough to really see people, this episode is an invitation to stop rushing through life and allow God to work through you in the interruptions. Featuring encouragement from Isaiah 50:4: “The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary.” God equips us to bring hope to weary hearts — if we’re willing to slow down enough to listen.

020 - From Caterpillars to Comebacks

This week’s episode is a little chaotic… in the best way. We’re talking shopping adventures, the ant invasion happening in our house, and the butterfly garden where we’ve been watching caterpillars completely transform into butterflies. Along the way, we dive into some deeper conversations about rejecting the lies of the enemy, choosing to believe the best in one another, and how transformation often happens slowly and unexpectedly. We also share the sweet (and hilarious) Mother’s Day surprises from our kids… Real life, real laughs, and real encouragement all wrapped into one episode. Looking for more ways to stay connected?
