How do you feel about Mother's Day?
I have always been part of churches that sought to celebrate mothers. Honoring the women in our midst for the brave and difficult work of mothering is right and beautiful!
But it’s not that simple.
Mother’s Day has been a complicated holiday for many women. So much so, that they stay home from church on that day.
This year, I read a piece by Amy Young at the beginning of our service—words that acknowledged both the joy and the ache this day can carry. It resonated deeply with so many women, I decided to share it on the podcast.
Whether you love Mother’s Day or find it painful (or somewhere in between), I pray you’ll find today’s episode encouraging and insightful.

Pornography has invaded countless marriages, shattering trust and distorting God's beautiful design for sexuality. When 64% of Christian men struggle with porn, the ripple effects touch nearly every family and church community—yet we're keeping silent.
In Part 2 of our conversation, Jody Allen continues to share her journey after discovering her husband's pornography addiction. She begins with this powerful declaration: "We do not have to tolerate pornography in our relationships." This isn't about being judgmental or legalistic; it's about honoring God's design for marriage and setting healthy boundaries without apology.
Have you or someone you love been affected by pornography in your relationship? Share this episode with them—breaking the silence is often the first step toward healing.Click here for show notes

I know Jody Allen’s story will speak deeply to many of you. Despite years of counseling and intensive treatment, her husband ultimately chose pornography over his marriage, his children, and his family. After a long and painful struggle, Jody’s marriage ended in divorce.
Without minimizing the deep pain of her journey, Jody shares the countless ways God has shown Himself faithful. In part one of our conversation, she offers heartbreaking statistics, reveals the warning signs of porn addiction, and shares two powerful mantras that helped carry her through.
She reminds us that while we may not choose our circumstances, we always have agency in how we respond. Most importantly, her journey reminds us that healing is possible, hope is real, and God's love is strong enough to meet us in every broken place.

This week we continue our transformative conversation about sexual wholeness from a Christian perspective with Dr. Carol Tanksley. If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, listen here. Whether you're single, struggling with shame about your sexual past, or simply trying to understand how sexuality fits within your faith journey, this episode offers wisdom and practical guidance. Sexual wholeness begins with accepting this invitation to "just come" as you are, trusting that Jesus will meet you with gentleness and guide you toward healing.

Sexual brokenness often begins with wounds we don't want to face. Dr. Carol Tanksley, OBGYN physician turned ordained minister, draws from 30 years of medical practice and her own journey to explore how our personal stories shape our sexual decisions. Dr. Carol directs our attention to what Jesus emphasized most - the condition of the heart. While behaviors certainly have consequences, lasting transformation begins with addressing the wounds, lies, and empty places in our souls that drive our choices. Your story matters, and God wants to meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Juli Slattery about the growing issue of pornography addiction among women. We discuss how the porn industry has intentionally targeted women, the shame that keeps many trapped in silence, and the neurological and emotional factors that make it difficult to break free. Dr. Slattery shares insights from her book Her Freedom Journey, co-authored with Dr. Joy Skarka, which provides practical and biblical guidance for women seeking freedom from pornography. The conversation highlights the importance of surrendering to God's grace rather than simply trying harder and encourages women to find hope, healing, and community in their journey toward sexual wholeness.

In this episode, I sit down with Nichole Suvar, a speaker, writer, and leader passionate about helping women overcome anxiety and live with intention. Nichole shares her personal journey with anxiety, how she silently struggled for decades, and what finally led her to seek help.
She breaks down common misconceptions about anxiety, including the idea that worry is a sin, and explains the difference between circumstantial anxiety and biological anxiety. Nichole offers practical, biblical wisdom on how small, intentional choices—like setting boundaries with technology, engaging in meaningful relationships, and renewing our thoughts—can lead to mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

I say I trust God. I want to trust God. But when it comes down to it, I often grasp for control. Especially when things feel so utterly out of control. Does that sound familiar to you?
Today, I continue my conversation with Lori Ann Wood. Her words bring comfort, grace, and healing to anyone who is walking a path they wish they weren't. (Which happens to all of us at one point or another.)
Lori Ann encourages us to lean into our questions, wrestle with our faith, and keep our eyes fixed on our eternal hope. These aren't churchy platitudes, but words of a woman who has fought long and hard to hold on to her faith through the darkest seasons of her life.

Today, we're wrapping up our Love Story series. If you haven't yet listened to the first three parts of this amazing, epic story, I encourage you to go back to and listen to part one, two, or three. Trust me—you don't want to miss anything!
Did you know that “happily ever after” didn't actually originate in a fairy tale? It's true! God is writing a love story so glorious and beautiful, that we—His kids—can't even begin to imagine what's to come.
As we talked about earlier in this series, knowing the beginning of our story helps us understand the context of what's happening right now. But knowing the end of our story? That gives us strength, hope, and courage to face anything this life throws at us. Because no matter what, we can have confidence that the best is yet to come!
