Episode 108 – Sophie Hudson

Is there really a way to stay strong when life gets hard? If you’re anything like most of us, your initial reaction to the hard stuff – those pieces and parts of life that keep you up at night – is to try to figure out how to make it go away. You might wonder if it’s possible to just ignore it, or, better yet, to burn it all down.

Author, podcaster and blogger, Sophie Hudson (Boo Mama) joins me to discuss ways the Lord works through His Word and His people, to faithfully reveal how you can get up, straighten up, and STAND UP!

As Christian women, most of us do want to put Jesus first. We want to prioritize him above all, knowing instinctively that when we do, everything else in our lives will fall into alignment. Yet life feels complicated, and the demands of our daily lives leave our priorities out of order and our hearts longing for more.
