When difficult emotions arise, we all have ways of coping. Often we try to push our emotions down - to our peril - usually leading to simply being stuck in the emotion. What if instead of ignoring our emotions, we paid attention to them with Jesus? In this episode, I share a day in my life, walking through a difficult emotion and the practices that I am learning to engage that help create a pathway back to joy.

Is it really possible that God feels good things about us? Why is it so much easier to believe that He is disappointed in us than that He delights in simply being in our presence? In this episode I share a story from my 18th birthday that God used recently to give me a glimpse of how He sees me.

In a world that tries to tie up hard things with a pretty bow, how do we embrace joy while resisting easy answers to suffering? In this story of a tender moment in the middle of tragedy, I explore the possibility that joy and sorrow can each make space for the other, if we will allow them.

In today's episode I share the story of a moment last month that left me in tears - partially out of sadness, partially out of shame, but mostly out of a soul that needed to be tended. What happened next reminded me of one of my soul's most vital needs in these days of distraction.

If you know me, it's likely you know about pumpkin chip cookies. They are a family legacy and a lifeline on days filled with unknowns and learning curves, like the first day of school. The process of making them reminds me that the revolutionary life is a series of quiet, ordinary rhythms tethering me to the One who makes me whole.

It's the age-old problem - our hearts just don't want to change, even when we try our best to make them change. A conversation with my son years ago opened my eyes to the depth of this struggle and it's been a journey of understanding how Jesus can help change my heart ever since.

Capacity refers to the maximum amount something can hold. For many of us, our stories and our wounding have decreased our capacity for relationship, for love, for connection, for calling. So how do we change that? It's possible we don't know the answer because we have been asking the wrong question, friend. Let's see what happens when we shift our focus.
