What drives the feeling of unrest within us?  We don't feel settled and we are continually seeking things in this world to fill a void that only Jesus can fill.

In today's episode we are jumping into the topic of how to find mental and emotional rest in our daily lives.  We will be discussing the things that often cause unrest within us and where we can find true rest that lasts.  

Thank you for joining us today and we hope that you leave feeling supported, a  little more rested, and with some ideas that you can implement into your week!

Today we will be discussing body image.  Anyone else have moments of struggling with how you look, wanting to be different, and just not satisfied overall with where you are physically?  We have all been there!  Today we are going to discuss how God sees us and who He says we are in Him.  The world tells us one thing, but God tells us a different story.

Join us today as we jump into these topics:
-Body image as we age and after big life transitions
-Where we find our true identity
-How God defines beauty

Today we are continuing our "Biggest Struggles for Mom" series where we will be discussing the challenges we encounter when it comes to listening to our kids.  We LOVE our kids.  They are our world!  So why is it so hard to listen (I mean truly listen!) to them at times?  Do you feel guilt that you don't listen enough?  You're not alone! 

Join us today as we jump into these topics:
-Why is it so hard to stop and listen sometimes?
-What kind of lasting impact does it have on our kids when we listen? How about during the times when we don't?
-How can we limit these times and how can we listen more?

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart! I have overcome the world.” 
-John 16:33-

It is easy to feel a bit frazzled and even completely down and out in this world.  It can be challenging.  Often, when it gets tough, we find ourselves feeling out of step with God too and outside of His presence.  Today we are discussing how we sometimes feel disconnect from God, what can cause it, and what can help us draw nearer to Him.

We hope you leave feeling encouraged :)

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Today we are digging in and discussing what thankfulness and gratitude can look like and God’s calling on our lives when it comes to these things.  So, what holds us back from being more grateful or more thankful and how would it transform our lives if we practiced thankfulness in all circumstances like the scriptures say?

We hope you leave feeling encouraged!

Can you believe we are already into 2022?  Many of you may be writing down or in the midst of carrying out your New Year's resolutions.  Today we are kicking off a new season as we  chat about the origins of New Year's resolutions, what many resolutions look like, why they often don't work, and how to filter your resolutions through the lens of God's will and not your own.

We thank you for joining us today and hope your year is off to an amazing start!
