In a culture that constantly tells us we’re not good enough, not beautiful enough, and not doing enough, it’s easy to feel as if we have nothing to offer. Lies about who we are and how we are failing slip into our thinking until we believe they’re actually reality. But that’s not what God intends for us.

Margaret Feinberg joins me in this episode where she exposes some of these false beliefs, shares some personal stories and shows you that the places of your deepest hurts can actually become wellsprings of your greatest healing.

Episode 71 – Kasey Van Norman

Kasey Van Norman joins me for episode #71 to talk about how God wants to redeem the pain and mistakes of your past.

What if the pain and mistakes of your past are exactly what God wants to use to redeem your future? Like many of us, Kasey has walked a rocky road of regret and loss. In this honest, vulnerable conversation, she shares that these days she’s no longer running from her past, but is instead, is actually allowing herself to be defined by it – because Kasey’s discovered that God is more intentional, personal and loving than she ever believed Him to be.

In this GRACOEOLOGIE episode, Kasey and I talk about the powerful message of her new book, NOTHING WASTED, which highlights God’s offer to weave together every confusing, disjointed scrap of your past into His beautiful story of redemption.

Episode 55 – Maria Furlough

Today my guest is author & Bible teacher Maria Furlough and we talk about the message of her brand new book: CONFIDENT MOMS, CONFIDENT DAUGHTERS.

Now more than ever, we’re bombarded with perfect-looking people on the internet and all over social media. Maria and I have a great conversation about true beauty and about teaching our daughters how to be confident, how to love their bodies, and how to break free from insecurities that plague each of us heart and mind. Which, as we all know, is no easy task. In fact, it’s a task that has to begin with you and me.

Now, if you don’t have a daughter, stay with me! The fundamentals of what we talk about and the practical help applies to you too. This episode will help all of us put aside our obsessions with bodily perfection and refocus our hearts on becoming and raising a confident, godly woman.
