Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

Holly Wimer is a friend of mine and she is also an Ambassador for Noonday Collection, a socially responsible business that creates a marketplace for jewelry and accessories handmade by Artisans across the globe.  Holly discovered the work when she was a newly stay-at-home mom needing to help make ends meet. What she didn't expect to find was a pursuit she'd come to be passionate about.

So often, we expect victory to feel like conquering our giant.  But what if your giant is really the unspoken thought in the small moments of your day. What about when you have no big battle to fight, but the low-grade anxiety of life feels all-consuming. What then? Does Christ offer us victory in not just our battle against the flesh and our war on sin but in the very mundane, monotonous moments of our days? Listen in as Tabitha and I discuss how Christ gives us victory in the ordinary moments.

We all have a story to tell. I bet many of you have wondered how you might get your story into the world and write it down for others to read. Today author Jenny Bravo is chatting with me about how she got into self-publishing and it provided an avenue for her to tell her own story. She took her real-life experiences and turned them into fiction, providing catharsis for herself as she healed, and a pursuit of a newfound passion.  Sponsor: SEO Made Simple: www.seomadesimple.co

My friend Lauren Gilmore and I love a good chick flick. In particular, we love You’ve Got Mail. It’s our favorite. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks at their finest — what’s not to like? So, in view of Valentine’s Day coming up this week, love being in the air and many a romantic comedy playing on cable, we thought we’d take a look at our favorite movie through a gospel lens and see what we could find. Is there anything that could be redeemed to point us to Jesus? We were surprised by what we found!

It's our 1 year anniversary! And to celebrate, I turned the mic on YOU - my listeners. I asked you to answer this question: "What is God teaching you in your work and your motherhood?"  You emailed in, you called in, and you shared with me how God was working in your life and heart this year. I'm so grateful to be celebrating this special landmark. I pray this episode encourages your heart to hear all the ways God is working in women who listen to this show. Enjoy!

Here we are in the middle of what feels like a loooong winter. That’s why this it’s the perfect time for this conversation with Sara Hagerty. We discuss how we need deep roots to make it through a long winter. Sara shares what it means to receive your season and that we can ask God what season we are in.  Sara Hagerty is a mom of 6 and she lives here in KC! We also have a funny connection, which I mention in the episode. She is the author of the book Unseen and Every Bitter Thing is Sweet.

Today we're discussing a topic EVERY mom has to face sooner or later in her motherhood: anger. Our capacity for frustration, anger and all out rage can surprise us especially when motherhood is painted as a beautiful and magical thing -- which it is. But the unsuspecting mother who might never have felt she was an "angry person" may be shocked to find the feeling well up within her. If you struggle with anger as a mom, you want to listen to this episode with Natalie!

In today’s episode, I got to talk with Heather MacFadyen of the Don’t Mom Alone podcast! I love Heather’s show and it was truly a treat to get to talk to her about what God is teaching her and share this encouragement from her with you guys! Heather and I chat about so much- calling vs. assignment, what humility looks like and how we can step into our lives BOLDLY this year. Not because we are strong or skilled or our reputation is on the line, but because of confidence in who we serve.
