A couple of years into this journey into freedom and I was discovering I had more questions than answers. What is calling and how do we discover ours? Is calling something that we do or something that we are? Why is calling so difficult to live into? Let's explore these questions together.

We have an Enemy and the Resistance is real, friend. Your gifts were given to bring light to the darkness and the darkness wants to shut you up. But maybe there is a gift hidden in the resistance if we pay attention.

So far this podcast series has focused on two important questions that each person needs to answer to live into their place in God’s Kingdom: They are “Who am I?” and “What do I have to offer?”
But there is one more question to be asked that is just as important as the first two. Listen in to find out.

In part 1 of this episode, I dig deeper into the question "What do we need to receive?" and what do we do when what we need to receive simply is not offered to us? Most of us begin to tell ourselves stories to make sense of this gap and the result is a trail of unresolved painful feelings. I begin to share how this played out in my life as a woman in ministry.

What happens when we fail at living freely - when we do the wrong thing or we find ourselves wrestling with patterns of fear or anxiety? In this episode, I share a moment from a few months ago, when the thought "If I were really free" hung heavy for me, and what is freeing me from this unhelpful way of thinking.

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.

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.

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.
