Send us a text Today, we’re getting real about something that every woman of faith faces: the thoughts that whisper “You can’t.” We’re right in the middle of our Esther Series, and this week we’re getting practical. If you’ve ever thought things like: I’m not enough.I’m too late.I don’t have what it takes.…then this one’s for you. These are what I call limiting beliefs—the subtle lies that hold us back from walking fully in the purpose God has placed within us. But here’s the good news: each ...

Episode 111: PAUSE TO DEFY IMPOSTER SYNDROME

Send us a text Our divine assignments are not about never feeling afraid. They’re about choosing faith over fear—obedience over hesitation—even when your knees are shaking. Like Esther, you don’t need a perfect résumé, a flawless past, or a detailed plan. You just need the willingness to say YES to God. So pause and ask yourself: “Where in my life is God calling me to step up, even though I feel unqualified?” Your Esther moment might not look like standing before a king. It might look l...

Episode 108: Pause for Quiet Clarity

Send us a text There have been seasons in my life when I’ve felt completely uncertain about my next step. Times when I prayed for neon signs, and all I got was a whisper.

And it’s not just for “when life falls apart.” It’s for those in-be...

Send us a text Merry Christmas friend! As this year closes and a new one begins--I have a question for you. Have you ever paused to think about the story your life tells?

Episode 97: PAUSE for a Christmas Blessing

Send us a text Every December I find myself returning to the story of Jesus found in Luke 1 and 2. It is definitely a story of hope and wonder and divine interruption. As I read about Mary and Joseph and the shepherds and the angels, I'm reminded of something so important. Christmas is not about perfection. It's about presence. God's presence with us and our presence with Him. This year, as I said in the introduction, I really want to invite you to join me in experiencing this s...
