When Jesse started Pickleball, I think our entire community knew how hard it was on me. I felt like he was building a life outside of me. His time was being taken up, sometimes in excessive amounts, by his new hobby (ie: addiction 😉). [save & share with your spouse.]

He was passionate and excited, but my fear of him growing apart from me, or being gone more often, consumed me.

But as I began to step back, I saw how beneficial it was for him. Not only for his mental health, he was also building a community of godly men around him.

He was also relieving stress and building connections for his business. And most importantly, it brought him JOY. The more I got outside of myself, the more I saw the good it brought to his life.

And as I chose to see it that way, I began to celebrate it with him instead of fearing it.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

When we allow space for each other’s growth, we don’t “lose” each other, we create more to bring back into our marriage. 🤎

Parents: your life is your children’s blueprint.

The way you speak, the way you pray, the way you love, it all shapes your children’s perspective of the world they live in.

Keep going. 🖤

Have you felt it? God is working.

Our churches are packed. Hearts are being surrendered. People are hearing the gospel.

The cross changes everything. Jesus took our sin, our shame, our fear, and gave us forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life.

Our country, our world, is desperate for real peace. It won’t be found in success, safety, or self.

Our hearts were created to long for Heaven. We know that there’s more out there and won’t ever be satisfied on this earth. True peace will only ever be found in His will for our lives. 🖤

This is my heart in response to some of the comments I’ve received regarding my last posts. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The school tragedies and yesterday’s tragedy both tie back to the reality that our world is deeply lost. We need Jesus.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

I pray that we seek to live a life as bold, as honest, and as Christ-focused as Charlie Kirk did. Our world is broken.

Jesse and I have been talking about this a lot since I started writing my book…it’s so easy to show our ugliest self to our family because we feel “safe.” But that isn’t godly love. [repost & share with your spouse!]

🎙️ Comment WORDS for a link to one of my most downloaded podcast episodes of all time: “The Marks of a Christian: Are You Living It Out?”

Just as tipping a cup will only spill what’s inside, poking at your heart will only produce anger, rage, or unkindness if that’s what lives there.

Listen: You have enough on your plate. The last thing I want is to make you feel even more mom-guilt; I carry so much of my own. I want to fill you with hope! The GREAT news is that Jesus gives that hope. He fills what’s empty and changes what feels impossible.

✨✨When He’s who lives inside of you, His love, grace, slowness, self-control, and kindness are what will spill out. 🖤

In today’s episode on the Living Easy podcast, I’m talking about how we live in a culture that claims to value tolerance when it comes to everything but Christianity. [save & share].

People now are more depressed, anxious, and lonely than EVER before. We’ve lost our anchor.

We’re the most “connected” generation in history, but we’re also the most isolated. And we wonder what’s going wrong.

People are starving for hope, for truth, and for understanding.

We are seeing every single day that, without truth or identity, people in our world are flailing and floundering.

They’re trying to find identity and peace in everything and anything, except for the One who offers it.

Our God is a God of hope. Of restoration. Of salvation. Of LOVE.

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the tension of standing firm in their faith while the world tells them to shrink back.

If you’ve been afraid to speak up or afraid of being misunderstood or labeled, I pray this encourages you to stand tall and remember that you serve a God who softens even the hardest hearts with His love. 🫶🏼

Studies show that sunshine + iced coffee + family + the perfect bathing suit + a book about Jesus will make you feel 1000x happier. ☀️😉

But in all seriousness, sunshine and time in the word (and in solid Christian books) are life-changing on any mental and physical health journey.

If you’re struggling to get outside, I know the feeling. On days of depression, it feels like I have concrete on my chest & ankles and can barely get myself out of bed. Take the baby steps, even if it means sitting outside for only 5 minutes.

Sunshine improves focus, enhances your mood, and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety by stimulating the production of serotonin (your happy hormone). 🫶🏼 It makes me feel sooo motivated; today I sat outside & wrote down goals & adventures for my summer!

What is one thing you want to accomplish this summer that you’ve never done before?
