The Mindset Shift that Leads to Lasting Joy and Freedom — Morgan Krueger

The Mindset Shift that Leads to Lasting Joy and Freedom — Morgan Krueger
What if the secret to real joy isn't finding yourself, but actually forgetting yourself? In this episode, Allie sits down with Morgan Krueger — author of Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself — for one of the most honest and freeing conversations we've had on the show. Morgan shares how a season of major life changes (a job loss, a big move, a baby on the way) shook her identity to the core — and how God used it to show her the difference between walking with Jesus and quietly making life about herself. If you've ever tied your sense of worth to your accomplishments, your relationships, or how well others understand you, this one is for you. At the heart of this episode is a simple but soul-shifting idea: we were created to magnify. Every single day, we're making something great — the question is whether it's ourselves or Jesus. Morgan and Allie talk candidly about how our selfie culture and social media obsession are feeding a mental health crisis, and why our identity in Christ has to come before anything we do or achieve. True to the heart of Wonderfully Made, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that you were knitted together with purpose and worth before you ever did a single thing to earn it — and that knowing that changes everything.

Who Jesus Is and How He Will Change Your Life: Find Purpose, Joy, and Freedom
Whether you are spiritually curious, searching, or a follower of Jesus, in this conversation, Pastor Casey Groves does a deep dive into who the person of Jesus Christ is, evidence for His life and resurrection, and the radical love of Christ and gift of forgiveness and eternal life He grants everyone who believes. This episode will strengthen your faith if you are a believer and help your friends and family who are unsure of what they believe about Jesus understand who He is and how He can transform their lives. This is a beautifully grounded conversation about who Jesus is, why we can trust Him, and how He transforms the people who come to Him. Casey unpacks the story of the woman at the well in John 4 — a woman who came hiding in shame and left as the first missionary — and connects it to what it means to discover your identity in Christ today. If you're wrestling with guilt, or ready to know your worth in God's eyes, this is the episode to listen to. And if you've been away from your faith for a while, there's a prayer at the end of this episode that might just bring you home. Connect with Us Free guide: "" Allie's Books Social Media Resources

How to Encounter God Through Movement and Pray With Your Whole Self — with Jennifer Tucker and Allie Marie Smith
Friend, how do you feel right now — in your mind, in your body, and in your spirit? Whether you are thriving today or barely holding on, this conversation is going to bring you hope and renew your spirit. We are so delighted to welcome back the beautiful and gifted Jennifer Tucker — bestselling author, artist, and devoted follower of Jesus. Jennifer is the author of the beloved Breathless Prayer, as well as Present in Prayer, and today we are celebrating her newest book, Prayer in Motion: An Invitation to Be Fully Present, Connect with God, and Pray with Your Whole Self. Jennifer is a wife, mother, grandmother, mental health advocate, and she joins us from Georgia with so much warmth and wisdom to share. In this conversation, Jennifer takes us on a journey through all three of her books and shares how each one grew out of a deeply personal season of her own life. From the breathing exercises that tethered her to Christ during her most anxious years, to the stillness of Scripture meditation, to the discovery that our bodies were made to move in connection with God — this is a conversation that will shift the way you think about prayer entirely. Jennifer opens up about her own struggle with anxiety and perfectionism, and how prayer had quietly become just another item on her to-do list — until God invited her into something freer and more alive. She shares the beautiful science behind movement, including how our muscles release proteins called "hope molecules" every time we move, and why even the gentlest motion can lift our mood and draw us closer to God's presence. Friend, you were not made to live in a state of overwhelm, disconnected from your body and running on empty. God is both your Great Physician and your Wonderful Counselor, and He is inviting you into a rhythm of rest, movement, and prayer that can truly change your life. In this episode we discuss: How Jennifer's three books work together as a complete trilogy for connecting with God through breath, stillness, and movement Why prayer can quietly become a checklist — and how to find your way back to genuine connection The science of "hope molecules" and what even gentle movement does for your mind and body Practical grounding techniques like the 5-4-3-2-1 method and finding "glimmers" in everyday moments Simple movement practices — stretching, walking, and more — that invite God into your whole day Why community and connection are essential to feeling safe and at peace in your body Connect with Us Free guide: "" Allie's Books Social Media Resources

The Joy of a Sober Life: Experience Vibrant Wholeness + Health Through An Alcohol Free Life — with Christy Osborne

The Joy of a Sober Life: Experience Vibrant Wholeness + Health Through An Alcohol Free Life — with Christy Osborne
That quiet nudge that whispers, maybe alcohol isn't serving me anymore—what if that feeling is an invitation? In this honest and grace-filled conversation, sobriety coach and author Christy Osborne shares her story of choosing sobriety and how it led her into a life she never imagined possible. You are not alone in your struggle, and freedom is closer than you think. Christy's relationship with alcohol looked nothing like what most people picture. She was a "normal drinker"—a sorority girl, a law student, building a beautiful life in London. But over the years, alcohol quietly took on new jobs: social lubricant, stress reliever, coping mechanism. After the devastating loss of her mother—who passed away from alcohol-related illness—Christy found herself masking her grief behind a glamorous Instagram feed and a glass of champagne. On the second anniversary of her mother's death, everything changed. Christy shares what God taught her through that breaking point, how she discovered the science behind why alcohol hijacks our brains and our bodies, and why she now believes that sobriety isn't a loss—it's the greatest gift she's ever given herself. She is the author of Love Life Sober, a 40-day alcohol fast rooted in Scripture, neuroscience, and practical coaching that has helped women in the US and UK renew their minds and rediscover joy. We talk honestly about the ways alcohol quietly creeps into everyday life, why moderation is so much harder than we think, and how the lie that "sober life is boring" keeps so many women stuck. Christy also shares the simple mindset shift that changes everything: approaching sobriety with curiosity instead of fear. Host Allie Marie Smith also opens up about her own decision at 21—a moment she credits as God-given wisdom—to push a glass of wine away and never look back, and how that one choice spared her from a path of real heartache. If you've ever felt that little nudge, if you've tried to cut back and can't, if you're tired of the anxiety and the regret, or if you simply wonder whether there's more for you on the other side of alcohol—this episode is your gentle invitation to find out. There is no judgment here. There is no condemnation here. God wants you well—spiritually, mentally, and physically—and this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone, and that a freer, fuller life is possible.

Healing After Abortion: Heal from Shame and Find Freedom and Restoration — with Christie Myers
Grief, shame, and isolation have a way of making us feel like our wounds are too deep to heal—but you are not alone, and freedom is possible. In this conversation, abortion recovery coach and certified life coach, Christie Myers, vulnerably shares her personal story of healing from three abortions to remind us that no matter what we've walked through, God meets us with compassion, not condemnation. Christie shares what God brought her through on her long and winding road to healing, and how what she once believed she'd silently carry forever became a story of redemption she now freely shares. She opens up about the lies, the isolation, and the coping mechanisms that kept her in grief for years—and what finally broke those chains. We talk honestly about the emotional aftermath of abortion that so few talk about, how isolation and unmanaged pain deepen our wounds, and how true healing requires honesty with God and with ourselves. Christie also walks us through the power of repentance, forgiveness, and prayer—and the moment everything changed for her. She even shares a beautiful vision God gave her about her children in heaven that will bring so much comfort to grieving mothers. If you've ever carried this silently, felt condemned by your past, or believed that healing simply wasn't possible for you, this episode is a gentle and grace-filled reminder that God sees you, He's not mad at you, and He will not withhold healing from anyone who asks.

Boundaries For Your Soul — with Colleen Blake-Miller
Cultivating healthy boundaries can change your life and protect your soul and well-being. In our re-release of the episode, "Boundaries For Your Soul," Allie and Colleen Blake-Miller discuss the importance of setting boundaries across various areas of life. They explore the challenges people face in establishing boundaries and provide examples of specific boundaries that can be set. They also discuss the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness when communicating boundaries. The intersection of faith and boundaries is explored, highlighting the need for balance and harmony. The conversation concludes with a reminder of the importance of knowing one’s value and identity in setting boundaries and taking care of oneself. Episode Topics: Setting boundaries is essential for maintaining healthy relationships and personal well-being. Recognizing the need for boundaries requires self-awareness and paying attention to imbalances or feelings of overwhelm. Boundaries can be established through clear communication and setting limits on what one is responsible for.

Too many girls and women are lost and wandering, endlessly seeking security and approval in places and things that never satisfy. In this episode, Brittany Maher, Cassandra Speer, and Allie Smith talk about how our value doesn't rise and fall with opinions or performance — it's anchored in the unshakable truth of Jesus. We pray that you will be encouraged and equipped to live with unshakable confidence in who God says you are and stop measuring your worth by the world's ever-changing metric system. Episode Topics: Knowing your value in Christ changes everything. True worth is found in God's word, not in worldly standards. We often attach our identities to counterfeit measures. The journey to discovering true worth is ongoing. Confronting the lies you have believed is essential to embracing our true identity. People-pleasing can lead to a cycle of seeking approval in areas where we weren’t meant to. We must identify and pull the weeds in our lives to walk in our true worth and calling.
