  • #581 – From Financial Stress to Financial Stability with Theresa Bartelle
    Jul 26 2026

    Are you living paycheck to paycheck, struggling with budgeting, or wondering why financial freedom feels out of reach? In this episode, I’m sitting down with financial coach Theresa Bartelle to discuss biblical money management, budgeting, financial mindset, and practical steps to break free from financial stress.

    Theresa shares her powerful story of going from financial overwhelm as a young military wife to helping women build wealth, eliminate financial dysfunction, and steward money God’s way. In this episode, we unpack common budgeting mistakes, scarcity thinking, emergency funds, retirement planning, and why obedience – not income – is often the key to lasting financial peace.

    Whether you’re trying to get out of debt, save money, create a budget, or simply become a better steward of what God has entrusted to you, this conversation will encourage you to face your finances with courage, wisdom, and hope.

  • #576 – Brenda Palmer – God Wants Another Yes
    Jun 8 2026

    What does it really mean to say yes to God?

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with Brenda Palmer to talk about radical obedience, trusting God’s leading, and walking by faith when you don’t have all the answers. Brenda shares lessons from her book The Journey of Yes and opens up about the challenges, disappointments, and unexpected blessings that can come when we follow God’s voice.

    Together, we discuss why obedience often requires trust before clarity, what happens when our obedience is misunderstood by others, and how God often uses unexpected seasons to prepare us for what’s next.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with a difficult decision, wondered whether you can trust God’s direction, or found yourself standing between what feels comfortable and what God is asking you to do, I believe this conversation will encourage you.

    Highlights from Today’s Episode
    • Choosing obedience over certainty
    • Surrendering what feels safe
    • Releasing the need for approval

  • #575 – Maximizing Your Time This Summer
    May 25 2026

    Time management, intentional living, and stewardship are at the heart of this week’s episode. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, exhausted, or frustrated by how quickly life is moving, this conversation is for you.

    In this episode, I’m talking about the ways our lives can slowly drift when we stop living intentionally. From overcommitment and people-pleasing to endless scrolling, burnout, and inconsistent habits, this episode will challenge you to stop reacting to life and start stewarding your time, energy, and priorities with wisdom. Real transformation rarely happens through giant moments. More often, it’s built through small daily choices repeated consistently over time.

    If you’ve been wanting healthier rhythms, more peace, stronger boundaries, or simply a life that feels more aligned with your priorities, I hope this episode encourages and challenges you.

    Highlights from Today’s Episode
    • Stewarding your time
    • Scheduling your priorities
    • Protecting what matters
