When he gathered people around a table, it was for a purpose. When he healed, purpose. When he rebuked the pharisees it was for a purpose. ...

In this episode, we don't talk about the habits most everyone talks about. Get up, make your bed, work out, read your Bible, establish a to-do list, go to bed early. Although those are all great, Jesus created some habits that actually allowed his message to spread across the globe. How? We explore some key habits Jesus set that advanced his mission on a day-to-day basis. Tune in to find out all three habits that we can apply to our lives, too!

In this episode we talk all about bodies. Megan Dahlman, leader of Strong Mamas, talks all about the dark places women can go when they think about their bodies.

Every season I hop on and chat about the topic we have been discussing. This season we've been talking all about freedom and I want to share something near and very dear to my heart.

Therefore we have leaders experiencing the pressure and either burning out, checking out or sadly taking their own lives. I don't have a world of solutions, but I do have my own story and practical tips to free...
