3988 Refreshment for Your Soul
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life drags us down. It spins us around, until the weight of it all crashes heavy on our shoulders. Deadlines stack higher than our energy. Responsibilities pile up faster than the hours in the day. In the middle of this chaos, Jesus gives refreshment for your soul. The invitation comes from Matthew 11:28-30 ~ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." What does that “rest” really mean...

3987 Hear the Hurt Behind the Words
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Talking in marriage isn’t always easy. We come to the conversation eager to share what’s on our hearts—hoping to be understood and supported. But depending on your spouse’s communication style or mood, your words can land cold, or worse, cause unintended pain. Hear the hurt behind the words. Communication is the backbone of any marriage.

But hurt shows up in marriage far more often—and in ways you might not...

3986 Where Do I Run First?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life gets messy — and let’s be honest, it always does — both parents and kids face the terrifying question: “Where do I run first?” It’s not just about geography; it’s about the who and what that can catch us when we’re falling apart under overwhelm and struggle. If parents don’t provide a safe fallback, kids often sprint toward friends, teachers, coaches, or romantic interests — places that might get them, or might just judge and reject them. This question strips parenting to its core responsibility: Are we raising kids who know our love...

3985 Wear Your Smile
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life isn’t a constant stream of roses and rainbows. More often, it’s weeds choking the garden and storms darkening the sky. But from those weeds and storms come blooms and skies painted with the kind of beauty you cannot fake or force. It's no wonder it's hard to wear your smile. Maybe you're struggling to smile today? I get it. Sometimes smiling feels like a mask, like pretending everything’s okay when inside you’re falling apart. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . But wearing a smile isn’t about life handing you perfect...

3984 Set the Tempo of Your Life
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You don’t have to like where you are. Maybe your life feels stuck in a loop you didn’t sign up for. Maybe your step feels heavy or your spirit’s been whispering for a shift you haven’t dared to make. Wait though! You’re not trapped. Not by your past, your mistakes, or the weight of what isn’t working. You get to decide how you show up each day. You get to set the tempo of your life—from what you hold onto to what you courageously let go. This is the wellspring of real well-being: the space inside where choice lives. It’s not about pretending you’re perfect or faking a smile....

3983 Live Like It's Christmas!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It’s almost springtime, and right now, the last thing on your mind might be Christmas. But there’s a powerful kind of energy that Christmas brings, one that doesn’t just come from tinsel or twinkling lights. It’s that deep-down, can’t-keep-you-down spark of happiness and purpose that ignites even when you’re running on empty. Live like it's Christmas! Remember those Christmas nights? The ones where you stayed up late, exhausted but joyful, wrapping gifts, assembling toys, or setting up big surprises for your kids?

3982 The Walls of Comparison
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We build walls around ourselves, thinking they’re shields—to keep others out, to guard our weaknesses and doubts. But what happens when walls don't protect you, the walls of comparison that keep you locked in? When a dream or goal demands stepping outside your comfort zone, you face more than fear or uncertainty. You face the trap of comparison. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . We can peer at what everyone else is doing and forget what we alone bring to the table. Our gifts, talents, and unique value get left behind because we’re too...

3981 Seek the Lord
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too much of our lives are spent running our own race—scaling mountains, crossing rugged terrains we've never faced before—chasing after answers and strength as if we must do it all alone. We push ourselves to find solutions, to prove our worth, to reach the other side on our own terms. But what if you were to seek the Lord? What if the breakthrough isn’t found in our striving or in the distant horizon? What if the source of hope and peace is much closer than we realize?

3980 Love with Tethered Hearts

3979 How to Win Your Parenting Conversations
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room or the last word every time. It’s about precision, strategy, and understanding how every move impacts the next. You may be the expert, but be careful how you share the wisdom. Whether you want to admit it or not, you can learn how to win your parenting conversations better. In honor of the Olympics, I want you to think of your parenting conversations like the sport of Curling—where every stone you throw changes the "game," and success isn’t guaranteed just because you have the advantage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by...
info_outlineIt's so easy to get in our own way that all we can see is our faults, failures, and flaws. If that is the set of lenses you wear, how can you see anything else? Fight to win!
You have got to get beyond your own self. You have to get out of your own way. Don't fall into the trap of fear of moving forward, to take a chance, to jump even higher.

You can't predict what will happen daily, but you can choose how you respond to what comes at you.
I played basketball in high school-- but that was in P.E. class. I was not on any team, just in the class, because it was required. Now, the only sport I really liked was ice skating, so you can imagine my lack of enthusiasm to play anything, let alone basketball.
One day, the ball came at me so fast that a blink would make anyone miss. There I was, the one who had her hand not placed to receive the throw, and my finger was broken.
As a musician, this was devastating. I could feel all the goals and dreams I wanted begin to slip away.
But the fight came when I decided to win by navigating my way through the detour. Did you know you can play an open-hole flute with a splint on your ring finger?
I made the choice to figure out how to survive the fall and fight to win!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Fight to win!
Are you doing what you need to do in this season of life? Are you having those tough conversations first with yourself and then with those who need to have them with you?
You can keep moving forward when the walls around you are crumbling.
So what are you waiting for? What is really holding you back?
What can you do today to impact tomorrow?
And don't give me the song and dance that says, "You're too busy or you don't have time." I've been on that train many times before. And if you choose to stay on that train, you will take all of your dreams and bury them with you when you're six feet under.
But at this moment, you can make a decision that will turn the tide. You can calm the chaos in your head and focus on the next step in your heart so you can fight to win.
Let's get real and raw! What really matters that deserves your attention? In other words, where are you going to fight to win?
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
