    In college, Brian Dixon started out heading down the “music-and-theatre” road, until a life-changing car accident redirected him. After being told he may never have kids (he now has 3) and not walking again (he's completed numerous marathons and a number of triathlons), he views his life as a picture of God's redemption and grace. Dr. Dixon ended up training to be a teacher, where he met Julie, now his wife of 20 years. They are raising their children in Charlotte, NC to be entrepreneurial, kingdom-minded humans. Living life as a believer means we need to have God's Word in our hearts. But how does one DO that in these busy times? As Brian points out, we need to get into the Word every single day. It most likely means that we will have to sacrifice something; and, like Jesus, we may have to get up early and “get away.” Brian starts every day reading, praying, listening to the Abide app…doing whatever it takes to get God's Word into his heart.

My guest today, Carmen James, was so busy working hard at trying to achieve success according to the world's definition, that she forgot a crucial piece enabling her to enjoy the fruits of her labor: self-care and stress management. Now can you relate?

    In 2007, Melinda Patrick found herself going through a divorce that she didn't want. Thinking she had done #allthethings a good, Christian wife was “supposed” to do, she realized that this was an example of mankind's free will being exercised. The day after her family (they had a 13 yr-old and 16-yr-old) moved into the home she and her husband had designed and built themselves, he walked out. Reeling, she remembers thinking “I don't understand.” Melinda's story is both heartbreaking and mesmerizing; alternately filled with pain and promise.

    Do you struggle with seeking the Lord in prayer? Do you ever get to a point where you think “I'm not going to do this well, so why even try?” If so, you're not the only one! The perfectionist in us sometimes keeps us from going to God in prayer, and then we tend to feel guilty about that. Listen, getting lost in silly or inconsequential activities will happen (think: scrolling through Instagram or getting lost in Pinterest) - because we're human. But we don't have to allow shame about doing those things to stop us from going back to God. We don't have to feel defeated before we even start. Val and I had a great conversation about her getting off Instagram last February. And if you're struggling with getting sucked into any platform and being obedient to what God's calling you to do personally, there's lots of “gold” in this episode.

It's a spiritual battle when you go through infertility. The valley you are in is not where God is going to leave you. God never leaves us in grief.  He always brings beauty from ashes.   It may not be a baby, but when you give your feelings to God, He is going to give you what you need.   God's saying, "I'm the one that's taking care of you." God's got this! The woman who helped Elisha is Jenna's favorite woman of the Bible.  "Struggling to Hope because Hope is Painful" Faith and pain are at war.  EAT Chocolate  READ The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom LOVE Ninja Foodie
