Friends of a Feather

SIX years.   Six years of God stories being shared every Friday. Six years of encouragement, spurring us on in our Faith walks, and leading us in closer fellowship with Jesus. I am honored to have journeyed this with you, my friend. These 212 episodes will still live on, so feel free to go back and catch those you may have missed! www.wrenrobbins.com/podcast Oh, and if you JUST GOTTA HAVE WREN every week, head on over to my podcast ABOUT podcasting Don't Wing It!

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.

Busy raising three children, working hard to open her own brinks-and-mortar business in her hometown, managing her third marriage, totally burning the candle at both ends… Complete chaos! Can you relate to any of this? 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? But a dramatic and unexpected cancer diagnosis was followed by a three-month-long wait to see a specialist, a time which Carmen described as “the scariest, darkest, most horrific experience ever,” proved life-changing in ways she never expected.

In today's episode, I hope you will be touched and ministered by the conversation I had with my childhood friend, Angie. She and Nathan have been married for 20 years, and are parents to Mariana (16), Adrian (13), and Graham (11).

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. Throughout the process of her divorce, one piece of Scripture was especially life-giving: "The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4 Listen in and share this episode!

Charlotte Easley is a life coach with a background in clinical counseling work, specializing in trauma. She works with women to help them understand that their worth doesn't come from what they do, but rather, who they are. When she was 56 years old, her youngest child went off to military school, but she knew that God wasn't done with her yet! So she embarked on a “second journey” and began on a Master's of Social Work program - in a classroom full of 20-somethings. So much gold in this episode. It's like sitting and listening to a sweet, loving friend and mentor… Listen to our entire interview and then download her “10 Thought Habits that May be Sabotaging Your Relationships” from her website at CharlotteEasley.com Reach out to her on Instagram @thewomanslifecoach And feel free to reach out to me, too, on Instagram @friendsofafeatherpodcast

I caught up again with Bailey Hurley recently to talk about friendship. But we talked a LOT about a whole bunch of other things, too. It was fun catching up with her.

When Kate Elmore turned 27, she had a baby. Five months after giving birth, she discovered she had thyroid cancer. And went through surgery. And radiation. And isolation. And more. Her faith is what carried her through. It was the light in a bad day, the peace that God gave her, the strength she didn't know she had… And what brought her to the other side of her pain. Kate sat down with me recently and told me about her journey.  To connect with Kate go to: www.instagram.com/shopwordwarriors

Before she got married, Katie Jones became immersed in the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early). An early goal of hers was to retire by the age of 40. But over time, she began to question the concept of passive income and her approach to both money and work. She began to ask “What does my faith have to do with that and what does God say about it?” “Financial independence in and of itself isn't wrong. It becomes wrong when it crosses the line so that I'm relying only on myself, and not on God.” Katie Jones WHOA...THAT^^^^^ Listen in and be encouraged!  Also, check out the Show Notes: www.wrenrobbins.com/podcast/201

“Growing Slow” is not only the name of author Jennifer Dukes Lee's latest book but the topic of today's conversation. Living on a farm in rural Iowa, Jennifer and her husband loved the idea of leaving their fast-paced jobs to raise a family and run a farm. Far from the hustle and bustle they both had become accustomed to, she had no idea that stress, or “hurry sickness”, would ever again apply to her. Until during a routine visit to her doctor, who told her that she truly needed to make some changes. Enjoy listening to this episode today!

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.

In a recent conversation with Christy Wright, author, personal growth expert, and founder of “Business Boutique” she shared encouragement to help you build your confidence, grow your faith, and become the person God wants you to be.  We walk around with this heavy belief, the lie that we're not doing a good job...at work, at home. That we're not doing the things God created us to do. Not being the woman God created us to be. The only way to combat those beliefs is with the truth! We need to get out of our own way… The problem with our calendars is not the calendar. Find out what the problem is....in the Show Notes at: www.wrenrobbins.com/podcast/189
