Who am I when I’m free and why does it even matter? This is the question that has spurred me on for years now. If you’ve ever wondered why there is a gap between who you are and who you were meant to be, join me on the journey.
Rhythm 17: How to Change a Heart
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.

Episode 16: What’s your capacity?
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.

Episode 15: If I Were Truly Free
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.

Episode 14: The Stories We Tell Ourselves Part 1
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.

Episode 13: The Mosaic
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.

Episode 11: What is Calling?
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.

Episode 09: Accepted in the Beloved
In this episode, I share the story of a 1990 spelling bee and an unfortunate newspaper quote that revealed my ideas about the version of me that Christ loves. It stemmed from a belief that God just wants to put us to good use. But there is a much deeper truth where real freedom lies.
