Cases Where Personal Growth Doesn't Matter... As Much
There is something more important than your performance. In this episode, I'm sharing a couple times in life where it is more necessary to focus on internal work than external work; cases where it is not as important to perform well, it is more important to BE well. As you're listening, don't underestimate the simple devotions, they can make a big difference.

BethanyKids: Where The Medical Meets Ministry
I had a chance to speak with Peter Lublink, an Executive Director at BethanyKids. It was so insightful to hear about the organization he partners with, but it was also a deeply interesting conversation about honoring Jesus through practical work.
There are so many ways to practice charitable giving. If you've been looking for a meaningful organization to support, please consider BethanyKids: a compassionate Christian mission meeting the needs of African children with surgical conditions and disabilities.

Kevin's Story: God Loves You - More Than You Know
I know for sure: Kevin’s story can resonate with a lot of people. He offers a unique perspective at a different stage in his faith, as a marine veteran, and as a man.
As a faith-based personal growth blogger, my goal is always to encourage people (including myself) to know better and do better and strive to honor God.
But today, if you’re broken, overwhelmed, or lost, I want you to know that God loves you. Not just for who you have the potential to become, but just as you are. If you’re willing to receive it, His love is powerful enough to make you completely new.
You are not nothing. You are something to Someone!

Good Mourning
The biggest obstacle that keeps us from mourning well is an unwillingness to acknowledge the pain. We urgently want to get out of it as quickly as possible.
Being willing to embrace it for the moment and being able to actively process it with God is what allows us to receive a special kind of blessing; one reserved for the broken-hearted.
All the behavior management that happens after that is sometimes the easier part. But it is much more rewarding and fulfilling to walk through the valleys life has to offer us when we partner with Jesus - who so cares for us, and so truly wants to hold our hearts in the process.

What Would You Say To Someone Who's Let Themselves Go?
A coworker asked me what I would say to someone who’s let themselves go or what I would say to someone who has gotten too comfortable in a relationship. As a single woman, there were not very many moments where I adjusted my look significantly enough just to meet another person’s expectations. Everything we do for our bodies, our health, and our appearance should be for ourselves FIRST. That said, in this episode, I talk about the difference between letting yourself go and getting too comfortable. I talk about the things that matter most and give some simple tips to help people who find themselves on either end of the spectrum. 10:57: What I Would Say...

10 Tips for Healing While You're Hurting
When I think about how hard it is to deal with and heal from emotional pain, I compare it to a fractured bone. Your body will do its very best to put itself back together, but if you don’t take the time to care for it, get medical care, set the bone in place – you risk it becoming a “non-healing fracture.” It’s not just about emotional healing. It’s about healing correctly. Healing while you’re hurting will not happen on its own. You’re going to have to make the choice, sometimes over and over. And I’m just going to be completely honest with you: it’s going to suck.
