In this week’s episode, we reflect on how Your Story Matters — how the everyday moments, lessons learned, and quiet choices of your life can become a light for others. We’ll explore the power of simply showing up, sharing your experiences, and living with intention so that your life quietly encourages and inspires those around you.

Pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about how your story — exactly as it is — can shine in ways you may never realize.

In this episode, we’re opening the door to our 2026 theme, Be Someone’s Hero, and talking about how a simple life naturally shapes everyday heroes. When we slow down and live with intention, we begin to notice the quiet needs around us — and that’s where small deeds and steady kindness make the biggest difference.

Join me on the back porch as we explore how faith, presence, and the rhythms of simple living help us become a gentle force for good right where we are.

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, breathe, and take a gentle look back. In this episode, we’re reflecting on the past year — the blessings, the lessons, and even the challenges — and discovering how each one can help guide us into the new year with peace, gratitude, and purpose.

Join me for a simple, heartfelt conversation about slowing down, finding meaning in the moments you’ve lived, and carrying faith and wisdom forward. Because sometimes, the best way to prepare for what’s ahead is by honoring what’s already been.

Amid the bustle of the season, let’s take a few moments to breathe, give thanks, and focus on the quiet joy that Christmas brings. Because the best parts of this season aren’t found in perfection — they’re found in presence, gratitude, and love.
