The Love Offering

Nothing truly prepares you for the pain of losing your husband. It changes everything—your daily rhythm, your sense of security, your future. If you—or someone you love—is walking the path of widowhood, I want to gently introduce a resource that offers comfort and strength in the midst of heartbreak. In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I’m sharing about a devotional titled Widow’s Might: A 365-Day Devotional for Widows. This beautiful book weaves together powerful stories from women who have walked this road before—women who have found solace, strength, and the sustaining love of Jesus. This devotional isn’t just a book—it’s a companion for your grief and a light for your journey. It’s a place to be reminded that you’re not alone, and that God is still writing a story of redemption in your life.

Have you ever hesitated, wondering, Was that really God? You're not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I'm joined by Abby McDonald to talk about her latest book, Surrendering Certainty: Hearing God Today by Letting Go of Tomorrow. In our conversation, we explore a powerful truth—God's voice wasn't meant to predict the future, but to guide us in peace today. If you've ever longed for clarity but found yourself stuck in indecision, doubting if you can really hear from God, this episode is for you. Abby shares how we can: Trade the need for control with the confidence of walking by faith Release the burden of needing to know what comes next Grow in our ability to discern God's voice through His Word Make decisions without second-guessing when God has already equipped us to move forward Let's surrender our craving for certainty and discover the freedom that comes with trusting the One who already holds tomorrow.

If you’re parenting a teen boy, you already know—these years can feel like an emotional roller coaster. There are moments of joy, but also confusion, frustration, and heartache.

I had the absolute joy of sitting down with author and speaker Mary Marantz to talk about her brand-new book, Underestimated.

Together, we talk about how to move from stuck to start, how to quiet the inner critic (and the outer ones too), and why your voice does matter in this world. Mary shares not only the wisdom she’s gleaned but also practical, grace-filled steps to help you finally quit playing small and step into the story God has written just for you. You are not too late. You are not too much. And you are certainly not underqualified. Let’s stop sitting on the sidelines and start walking in faith—one small, brave step at a time.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’ll do that someday…”? Too often we let the days slip by—some feeling mundane, others overwhelming. But what if today wasn’t just something to survive or check off the calendar? What if today was a verb—an invitation to act, embrace, and fully live? On this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast, I’m joined by my friend and bestselling author Carol McLeod to talk about her new book, Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment.

Have you ever felt unseen or overlooked? Maybe you’ve wondered if anyone notices your efforts, your heart, or even your presence. If so, you are not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of talking with Mary DeMuth about her newest book, The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible. In our conversation, Mary tenderly reminds us that feeling unseen is not a new struggle—many women in Scripture felt the very same way. Yet through their stories, we are invited to discover a profound truth: we are both seen and heard by the God who loves us. Together, we explore questions like:✨ Why do I feel invisible sometimes?✨ How can I overcome feelings of rejection?✨ What does it really mean to live a “seen” life in a world obsessed with recognition? Mary’s words are like a balm to the soul—offering hope, healing, and a fresh reminder that you have a beautiful, meaningful place in God’s story. I pray this conversation encourages you to rest in His love, find joy in who He created you to be, and live empowered to use your unique voice for His glory. You are seen. You are heard. You are deeply loved.

If you’ve ever laid your head down at night wondering, “Am I even doing this right?”—this episode is for you. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m joined by fellow mom and friend Hallie Dye, author of You’re Still a Good Mom. In a world that glorifies perfection and filters out the mess, Hallie offers us something far more meaningful: grace. Together, we talk about surrendering our motherhood to the One who never fails—even when we often do. Hallie shares how her journey of raising kids revealed her weaknesses, but also led her to a deeper understanding of God’s strength. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to be a flawless parent, or if your own expectations have left you discouraged, I hope this conversation lifts that weight and replaces it with truth, compassion, and hope.

Have you ever found yourself craving honest, soul-deep connection—with others, with your community, and with God—but not quite knowing how to get there?

Tom's message is one so many of us need to hear: we were made for more than surface-level friendships and guarded conversations.

In our conversation, we talk about: Why we hide behind masks of pride and fear—and how to let them fall What it really means to be part of a soul-connected church How to lead with courageous authenticity in a world full of artificiality And why the very things we're afraid to reveal are often the gateway to deeper love and acceptance If you've ever felt lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to create deeper relationships in your life or church, I encourage you to tune in.

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with questions about your faith? Wondering if God is still near, still listening, still good? If so, I want you to know that you’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I talked with Niki Hardy about her book, God, Can We Chat? It’s an honest, refreshing, and grace-filled invitation to bring our doubts and questions to God—without fear, shame, or pretending we have it all together. So often, we think our faith is only strong if we never question or waver. But Niki reminds us that God isn’t afraid of our questions—He welcomes them. Rather than weakening our faith, honest conversations with God can deepen and strengthen it. If you’re in a season where faith feels hard, where you feel distant from God or unsure of what you believe, I encourage you to tune in. You don’t have to have all the answers to come to Him—He asks that you come. I’d love to hear—have you ever had a “chat” with God that changed your perspective? Hit reply and let me know.

Marriage is hard work—but does it have to feel so hard?

Have you ever felt burdened, broken, or burned out? If so, you’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of sitting down with bestselling author Asheritah Ciuciu to discuss her new book, Delighting in Jesus: Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned Out. In our conversation, Asheritah shares how life’s challenges—family dynamics, overcommitment, and external pressures—can rob us of the joy God desires for us. But the good news is that joy is not only possible but restorable. Here are some of the takeaways from our time together: Joy is cultivated by spending time with Jesus, who is the ultimate source of delight. Burnout often stems from overcommitment and misplaced priorities, but God offers rhythms of restoration. Neuroplasticity shows us that we can retrain our minds to seek and experience joy through intentional spiritual habits. Asheritah outlines five powerful rhythms for joy: worship, word, whisper, wonder, and walking. This conversation was a gentle reminder that we don’t have to navigate burnout and exhaustion alone. By turning to Jesus and adopting these life-giving rhythms, we can rediscover joy, even in the most difficult seasons. I pray Asheritah’s insights inspire you as much as they did me. Let’s commit to finding joy in Jesus together and allowing His presence to transform our daily lives. With love and gratitude,Rachael P.S.

This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the privilege of sitting with Annie Mayfield to talk about her heartfelt and life-changing book, U Matter. Annie’s journey is one so many of us can relate to—the endless striving to prove our worth, only to discover that our value was never tied to what we achieve. Annie shared how she spent years chasing accomplishments in sports, relationships, careers, and more to feel like she mattered. When life stripped away what she thought defined her, she came face-to-face with a raw truth: her worth had nothing to do with what she could do or earn. Instead, it was rooted in God’s unchanging love. We explored the freeing message in Jeremiah 1:5—that our value is not a badge we earn but a title God gives us. Annie’s story is a beautiful reminder that real faith isn’t about what we do “for” God but how we walk with Him. She invites us to trust that when God says we matter, He means it. If you’ve ever confused your worth with your achievements or felt the pressure to “prove” you belong, this episode is for you. Annie’s story will inspire you to step into the truth of your inherent worth and remind others of theirs, too. I hope Annie’s powerful message encourages you as much as it did me. Let’s embrace the truth that we are loved, chosen, and valuable—not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Him. With love,Rachael P.S.

Motherhood is a gift—but let’s be honest, it’s also messy, exhausting, and sometimes overwhelming. In the midst of endless to-dos, tantrums, and sleepless nights, how do we hold on to the hope of the gospel and let it shape our motherhood? This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of speaking with Emily Jensen about her new book, Gospel Mom: The Grace of Christ for Weary Mothers. Emily beautifully reminds us that we don’t have to strive for perfection or rely on our own strength in motherhood. Instead, we can rest in the grace and truth of Jesus. During our conversation, we discussed: How the gospel reframes our perspective on parenting struggles. Why your worth isn’t tied to how “well” you mother. Practical ways to center your heart on Christ in the chaos of daily life. The freedom that comes when we stop chasing worldly standards of motherhood.

The season of Advent is an invitation—an opportunity to slow down and notice, to slow down and take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus’ birth, to reflect and anticipate. This Christmas may look different than you had hoped or planned, but Jesus is still the same. He has not changed, and He has never let us go. Erin H. Warren is joining us today to discuss her Advent Bible study, Waymaker. This episode is not meant to be another “to do” on your list or create more stress in an already stressful season, but rather to point you to the reason He came in the first place. His coming was more than giving us forgiveness of sins or to part the way before us. He came to part the divide between God and us, between us and heaven. Jesus is our Waymaker.

Do you long to feel closer to God? Are you searching for a faith that's more than just going through the motions? Let's be honest: we often feel distant from God. We spend a lot more time looking like we're faithful than living out a life-giving relationship. Our souls ache from the lack of intimacy. Something is missing. We know life isn't supposed to be this way. What we really want is to know God and be known. We yearn for an honest, ongoing connection with God as a real person. In today's episode and through her book Befriending God, Tanya Godsey invites us to move beyond religious performance and into authentic relational intimacy through: Biblical character studies illuminating how we can encounter God in the struggles, questions, and complexities of our lives; Vulnerable, powerful examples of God's relational transformation in the context of a marginalized community; Practical guidance for setting aside faulty cultural norms that keep us from friendship with God. If you crave a genuine connection with God that transcends religious to-dos and cultural currents, tune in to experience transformation and renewal in your spiritual journey. Discover the joy of knowing God intimately in every season, heartache, and ordinary moment.   Connect with Tanya: https://www.tanyagodsey.com   Read the Show Notes: https://rachaelkadams.com/writing/  Support the Show: https://rachaelkadams.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Exhausted. Maxed Out. Running on Fumes. Bone-Tired. Drowning. We cannot go one day without hearing these words from friends, co-workers, family members, and sisters in Christ. No matter the season of life - college student, young mother, business executive, teacher, ministry leader, empty-nester, or retiree - we women long for margin, rest, and affirmation that all our efforts mean something. Does anyone even see, let alone appreciate, how HARD we are working? Surely, there must be a purpose beyond this daily grind that overwhelms our schedules and hearts. For many, the busyness of our lives results from saying yes to good things. But at what cost? When did we trade our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for a couple of extra likes, fewer numbers on the scale, a bit more in our bank account, or one more thing marked off our to-do list? Do you find that your life is checking all the right boxes but still cannot find satisfaction or contentment? What's the answer for today's worn-out woman? A shift in perspective. In this episode, Laura Bailey chats about her book Embracing Eternity.

Mostly at our phones. Sometimes at ourselves. The artificial blue light in our eyes makes us anxious about the world. It makes us chase trends that have nothing to do with who we want to be.

Tune in to find new perspective, purpose, power, and peace.

Almost a third of Americans report anxiety symptoms, and according to PsychCentral, anxiety can create a "strong desire to control surroundings and other people."

Reimagining Who We Are and How We RelateThe welcome of God changes everything.No one is a stranger to loneliness. Despite how social we are via text, chat, and notifications, we are far from being truly connected. We all want someone else to really see us and choose us for who we are. We want a place to finally fit in. But what if finding the right people or the right place is not the answer?From her community-building background, Sarah E. Westfall takes our longing to belong as an invitation to embrace and extend the deep love of God. After years contemplating how she fit in and trying to earn acceptance, she realized "belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become." Through narrative, research, Scripture, and spiritual practice, she teaches how belonging is a way of being–a posture of welcome in the spirit of the Father who extends his arms to those returning and those who don't yet know they've resisted his love.Whether you understand the perspective of the outsider in need of acceptance well or you're eager to include, the barriers to belonging can come down as Sarah gently guides us toward deep connection―a connection where our humanity draws us closer to people and envelops us in the heart of God. Embark with Sarah on this challenge that will awaken your empathy and affirm you with the truth of these words: "You are welcome."

I want to live an abundant life. Do you? If you long to live a life overflowing with hope, peace, and joy, perhaps what your life needs is an intentional center. We all have one―that nucleus upon which we obtain our energy and discern our purpose. Perhaps until now, your center has been based on shopping, entertainment, or sports. Or maybe you are like many others and have centered your very existence upon your children, family, or career. What if those things you've placed at the center of your life will not bring you the abundance you desire? What if you need a true center? Bible scholars through the ages have insisted that the book of Colossians is the most Christ-centered book in the entire Bible. If that is true, then we, as twenty-first-century believers, must choose to study this Jesus-centric epistle with enthusiasm and with intention. By the end of this deep dive into the sacred pages of Scripture, your life will shout to the world, “I am Christ-centered! He is my source, my joy, my all in all!”
