Ep 15: Overcoming Your Past
Even though David was a "man after God's own heart", he also felt the sting of public rejection. His son, Absalom, turned against him and took a portion of David's community with him. To make matters worse, as David fled for his life with his people, a man named Shimei threw stones at him. He called David a "worthless fellow" and "evil" (2 Samuel 16:5-14). How did David recover from a past of murder, adultery, and rejection from his son and his people to finally return to as king once again? Listen in as Amy and Tammy talk about how we can overcome our not-so-pretty past and how we can be encouraged (and learn) from David's story. They discuss how we can choose to react when others are cursing or talking about us. Be part of the conversation as they share some of their own challenges in overcoming their prodigal pasts and how you can look forward, give yourself grace, and have a hope of the future.

Ep 13: Fear & What it Teaches Us
In the scriptures, 241 times in the New King James, “fear not” or “do not fear” appeared in the Bible. 241 times, God took His people into their calling, their purpose, or their next step which required more than their own strength (and courage) to fulfill. 241 times, His people saw glimpses of what He had in store and it seemed too impossible, too big, too fantastical for their imaginations to fathom. 241 times, His people felt the weight of where He was taking them and fear was right there trying to hold them back. But God. Amy and Tammy get vulnerable and honest about their most debilitating fears. They share about how fear can teach us about ourselves. But how fear does not get to dictate what we will or will not do when God calls. "I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

Ep 10: What Fostering & Adoption Teaches Us About Parenting--Interview with Jamie Young
We are excited to welcome Jamie as she shares her family's call to foster and adopt in the middle of raising their four biological kids. Listen in as one mother, who already mothered 11 of her younger siblings, realizes that all her parenting practice and years of raising her kids didn't always provide her with answers.

And when you blend families through foster or adoption, we learn even more about ourselves than we cared to know. Listen in today as Jamie Young shares about her family’s call to foster and adopt and one of the most valuable insights she’s gained in parenting, one we can all benefit from hearing. If you feel this is something God’s asking of you or if you want to support those in your community who are already fostering or have adopted, join us as we explore the process and the journey through Jamie’s experience. She will give you tools, resources, and encouragement to be a better parent for your kids and a good friend to those called to opening up their home.

Ep 7: Creating Margins for Rest
How can we maintain margin and avoid burnout when life events come careening at us? What tangible ways can we carve out time for ourselves, put up boundaries, and find time to take a deep breath in the middle of a health crisis or an extremely busy season in our family’s life? Amy and Tammy offer some insight (and some confessions) about how they strive to maintain balance as mothers, daughters of aging parents and as entrepreneurs. We can’t all take a Caribbean cruise when life events hit us hard, but we can find margin, carve out a few moments or an hour for a cup of coffee, a car ride alone, or a long walk to rejuvenate, refocus, and re-enter our lives with fresh energy and perspective. “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.”-Mark 6:31 HCSB Episodes originally aired on the radio Thursday at 12:30pm CST on If you enjoyed one of our shows, please help us with the algorithms so others can find us, by Resources: by Jennifer Dukes Lee Jennifer's website and other books can be found at Helpful article mentioned in this episode:

But when she took part in a group session with a psychologist as a nutritional consultant, an epiphany changed everything for her. Listen in on Bryn’s journey out of the yo-yo lifestyle, how she discovered functional medicine, and how she now treats the root issue of disease as a dietitian. Learn what eating habits factored into the elevation of mood that positively impacted women she led in a private group. And how we can’t serve others well if we aren’t serving ourselves well.

And that “anyone” can include our self. Some seasons or days (or hours), we need to contend for our freedom, fighting the good fight over our soul. What we believe about ourselves is the life we live out. Some lies are obvious—as apparent as the nose on our face. But what about the secret lies we say about ourselves? How do we root those weeds out especially when they’ve been planted as a normal part of our inner landscape? and Tammy talked about the lies they’ve believed, how they broke free, and their (sometimes daily) journey in maintaining it. Hear how Amy struggled to embrace her beloved-ness and what became her turning point in grasping the depths of God’s love (and freedom) for her. Tune in as Tammy shares how one small group of women, a bible study, and a short drive home revealed the mystery of a familiar deception. “Christ has set us free to live a free life.

Episode 4: The Benefits of Waiting
Have you ever found yourself in a waiting period that seems to go on forever? A time where you feel like a toddler in the backseat of a car asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” This stage of winter can feel a lot like that. Waiting has a way of stripping our identity down to us and God–alone. It can be a time of giving ourselves permission to grieve a loss or change. We don’t usually volunteer to wait–especially when that time overextends its stay in our life. But we can find this season allows for rest. We don’t control the time frame. However, we can choose to live in the right now’s of our season. Listen in as Amy talks about shifting identities in her transition of adult children and the awkward dance of rediscovering her role as a Mom, a wife, and a woman. And hear how Tammy realized the importance (and vanity) of her address when her family moved into a “shack” on their farm and it was a catalyst in finding her true identity in Christ.

Ep 2: Getting Started
Getting started is not based on how “good” you are or how young you are or how wise you are (although, that definitely helps). It is not even based on how able you are. When God calls you to start, He takes you just as you are, right now. You don’t have to wait for that “magical” time whether it be January or a Monday or some other fairy-tale hour. You do not even have to be comfortable. In fact, what you’re planning on doing might seem near impossible. Most times, getting started on something entirely new will stretch you. Listen in on how Amy moved past her negative self-labels to finally do the one thing she challenged herself in 2019. And learn about Tammy’s realization that God was asking her to revisit something she’d long ago given up.
