Episode 118 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Striving

2/1/23 This is the third in a series of the Abundant-life Saboteurs. And before I jump into the third saboteur, I want to tell you about something that happened to me not long ago. I had some time on my hands one day, so I thought I’d trim all the trees in our yard. So I got out my ladder and a long saw thing and pruning shears. I trimmed the low hanging limbs from all the oak trees in the front yard. And let me stop here and tell you, my late husband loved to dig holes and

Episode 117 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Giving Away Agency

1/25/23 So let’s continue to identify those things that are keeping us from living an abundant life. There are three things that sabotage our lives. Last week we identified saboteur number one: Living false perceptions & lie-based assumptions. When we’re able to identify the things that are sabotaging our abundant life and put effort towards making changes to eradicate them from our lives, we’re able to walk in the fullness of life Jesus intends. We’re free to walk in our God

Episode 116 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Lies

1/18/23 What is a Saboteur? Someone or something that sabotages. “Sabotage” is a deliberate action aimed at weakening an effort through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction. I want to talk about three things that you may be doing that obstructs, disrupts, or destroys your efforts to live the abundant life. So what is abundant life anyway? And how do I know if I have it? Or not. Jesus said in John 10:10 “I am come that they might have life, and that they might h

Episode 115 - Quitter's Day

1/11/23 Did you know this Friday, January 13th, is Quitter’s Day? What does that say about us as people when a day for quitting has been established? It’s been determined by a research company that after the second full week of making New Year’s resolutions, people are done. No more motivation. They suppose the reason is because people tend to be over-ambitious with their resolutions, especially when it comes to exercise, eating heathy, and weight loss. Let me say it again, i

Episode 114 - 8,395 And Counting...Down

1/4/23 Happy New Year to you, my friend. And welcome to episode number 114. It’s a new year. And with every new year comes an opportunity to recalibrate ourselves or reground ourselves to our convictions and what we believe, to our desires, and to what we want to create in the world that leaves a legacy footprint. Or, we have a chance to just roll into January with the status quo. But that’s not what we usually do, right? We make New Years’ resolutions. Which, by the way I hi

Episode 113 - Post-Christmas Blues

12/28/22 Christmas is and should be a joyous time to celebrate the birth of our King and Messiah, Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season, after all. But because of the way our western world has created such hype for holidays, we’ve learned to create traditions and expectations around them. They do come with nostalgia and excitement and anticipation. But they can also bring up past trauma, feelings of loneliness and loss, and emotions surrounding relationship conflict.

Episode 112 - Joy: Better Than Happy Revisited

12/21/22 It’s almost Christmas, my friends, and I pray you are surrounded by so much joy this season! Joy is better than happy. And that’s what we’re going to talk about. But if you’ve been listening in for a while, you know that “Joy: Better Than Happy” is the title of Episode number 63 that I recorded the week of Christmas last year. And here’s the deal - exactly what I covered last year is exactly what I felt prompted to talk about again this year. Hence, Joy: Better Than

Episode 111 - The Power Of 'Pause'

12/14/22 Can I start by asking you a question, friend? How often do you feel like you are out of control of your emotions? How often do you feel upset, irritated or annoyed with someone or something? Or feel emotions such as sadness, anger, fear or shame come up that end up ruining the next hour or the day, or maybe even the whole week? All day, every day, we have all kinds of emotions that we experience. God has beautifully created us in such a way that we have the capacity

Episode 110 - Pull The Weeds

12/7/22 This might sound weird, but I love pulling weeds. I found it very cathartic after my husband died. There’s something about it. I don’t know. But it’s very satisfying. It’s also metaphoric for life. Like I was pulling out the old, unwanted, unuseful stuff in my life and in my mind to make room for new growth, new life. It seemed fitting to spend hours, days, in my yard and flower beds pulling weeds. I still like it. It’s still somehow satisfying. I moved to a new hous

Episode 109 - How To...Lose Weight

11/30/22 This year, I had several of my kiddos with me this Thanksgiving. What a blessing it was. But, when they’re here, I tend to indulge more than I usually would. And, I don’t know about you, but I love Thanksgiving food! My Dad had a recipe for cornbread dressing that is so rich and delicious. My kids request it every year, even if we aren’t having other traditional Thanksgiving foods. It’s that good. Of course, it’s good on Thanksgiving day, but it’s one of those things

Episode 108 - How To...Keep Your Peace

11/23/22 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and it’ll be a time where the people you love gather together to reflect on our abundant blessings and to give thanks to our God who supplies so graciously. And it can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Why? Well, did I mention that a bunch of people were going to be there? And you’re one of those people, too. That’s why I thought it would be very appropriate and timely to talk about how to keep your peace…at any

Episode 105 - How To...Take Criticism

11/2/22 This is such an interesting topic, right? Honestly, I don’t know many people who love to receive criticism. Actually, I don’t know any. But sometimes it’s necessary, especially as it pertains to our Christian relationships. The Bible tells us to encourage one another to love and good deeds, Hebrews 10:24. We are told to rebuke the one who persists in sin, 1 Timothy 5:20. Proverbs 15:31 tells us that if we listen to constructive criticism we will be counted among the w

Episode 104 - How To...Detox Your Brain

10/26/22 If we need to detox our body, usually it’s because we’ve got something toxic internally - in our blood stream or our organs - that is wreaking havoc. It could be something like heavy metals in our body or even an addiction to sugar. And many times we’ve been given a protocol by a doctor, a plan to follow, for a certain about of time to rid our bodies of these toxins. If you’re seeing a naturopathic doctor, they might prescribe a drip therapy like chelation. Or you mi

Episode 102 - How To...Quiet Quit Your Life

10/12/22 Quiet quitting is the new buzzword in the workplace. Apparently, it’s not a new concept, but it’s been made popular just recently. Have you heard about it? I’ve heard a little bit about it but haven’t really dug into the full meaning until just the other day when I was taking an assessment of my life. Have you ever done that? Just stopped to look at what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. And maybe you analyze how much of your life feels like a grind and how much

Episode 101 - Anger After Loss

10/5/22 I’m not sure why, but it has taken me a long time to do an episode on anger. I’ve literally had people from the very beginning of this podcast ask me if I’m going to talk about being angry. Or someone will ask me if I have an episode on anger. I just never really wanted to talk about it. Maybe because I hadn’t finished working though my anger yet. Suicide, in particular, is so complicated. There are so many emotions you feel with it. Probably all of them. Well, all of
