Overflow. That's the goal of this Deeply-Rooted series. Just let the promise of that word draw you deeper into God's Word. Remember, the more you fix your attention on God and spend time fostering your relationship with Him, the more you'll know and understand His best for you. His next step for you. His perfect response through you. But once you're into God's Word, it's time to take that action, baby! Respond to His Word. And that's what this episode is all about. We're simplifying this for all of us into 3 (and 1 bonus) steps!

Tick tock, tick tock, goes every stinking clock. What are you going to do about it? Let it run out? Wish it away? Try to hold on to it so tightly that it slips through your fingers anyway? The Bible says to make the most of every opportunity. That sounds like a good place to start. So, are you? Making the most of every opportunity? Using your time intentionally and wisely -- choosing to deepen your roots, choosing light over dark, choosing freedom over captivity. Jen and I have this very conversation in this episode - our final in the root of rediscovery! Need something intentional and practical to help you spend good time?

Feel like you're doing too much? Life is just so crazy? Sometimes you can't even think straight? Yeah, same. But here's the deal...it's possible (ahem, highly likely and yes I'm talking to you) that you're taking on extra roles and responsibilities within your relationships. Things you just were never meant to take on. I talk about my not-so-flattering-but-its-the-ugly-truth nickname and Jen admits a totally ridiculous, but very real and recent situation where her control took over and she ended up in the exact opposite situation she wanted to be in. You're going to love/hate this episode in our Deeply-Rooted podcast series. It's never too late to get your own copy of the Deeply-Rooted 12-Day Devotional at www.lisagraft.com and work through it alongside us!

Who do you think you are, anyway? No, seriously. Who are you? Do you know? Do you know what God's character has to do with your own? Whether the answer is yes, no, or somewhere in between, you are going to love (and also be challenged by) this episode. Jen and I talk about the trap of running around your life like a chicken with your head cut off trying to please others or prove yourself. Are you (accidentally or intentionally) disconnecting from the heart of God so that you can be everything to everyone? Yikes. These are tough questions, with some really great insight, answers, and action steps! If you haven't already, purchase your copy of Deeply-Rooted 12-Day Devotional Journey and follow along (ahem, do the work) with us! www.lisagraft.com/shop

We've reached the root of rediscovery, and we're headed to set the record straight about God's character. Chances are, somewhere along the line, you've misunderstood, forgotten, or completely missed the true heart of God. And that's a big deal when we know we're to build our lives on that foundation. So in this episode, we start growing the root of rediscovery. Think of it as an adventure. Maybe fun, possibly challenging, but definitely healing! If you just LOVE this episode (and our entire Deeply-Rooted Podcast Series) make sure you order your Deeply-Rooted 12-Day Devotional Journey here!

Week 5 of our Deeply-Rooted Podcast Series here! We're finishing up our Root of Rest this week with working from a place of your secured identity instead of out there chasing a destiny. Your truest self is your child-of-God self. And your child-of-God self is revealed as Christ brings you more and more into the light. Don't miss out on the adventure of a life lived so authentically that God Himself shines in and through you. That is your potential. And not a far-off one either. It's the final surge of our root of rest, as we learn to show up in our lives looking just like Christ. Working from our identity as participants and reflectors of His light and His love, instead of being out in the world trying to chase down futile attempts at significance. Join us on this journey! And get your copy of the Deeply-Rooted 12-Day Devotional here so you can dig in and follow along with us!

We're in a 13-week series called Deeply-Rooted, working through Lisa's Deeply-Rooted Devotional, available to you RIGHT NOW at www.lisagraft.com so you can work with us! This week, we're all about growing the root of rest. For this and the episode, we'll be working from this insanely challenging and inviting quote from author and pastor Kris Anthony Vallotton. “Revival rest is operating out of a sense of worthiness and well-being because of what Christ already purchased for us on the cross. Revival rest looks like working from love, rather than for love. Working from acceptance rather than for acceptance. Working from approval rather than for approval. Working from identity rather than for a destiny.” Making choices the for approval of others is a short-term “fix” that disguises a much deeper need for hope and healing. What can you do to change that? You are fully approved by your Heavenly Father. He created you to enjoy this truth as you go to work as your best, love those around you as your best, and invite others into this genuine relationship with Jesus so that they, too, can discover the peace that comes with becoming who they were created to be. Using the gifts and talents that God has so generously given. Jump into this conversation, and share it with a friend!

Revival rest looks like working from love, rather than for love. Working from acceptance rather than for acceptance. Working from approval rather than for approval. Working from identity rather than for a destiny.” You are fully accepted. Right now. As is. How can this one truth impact your most significant relationships? You're already accepted in the heavenly realms and you're not promised acceptance here on earth – in fact, you're warned against it on more than one occasion. So stop wearing yourself out looking acceptance. Instead, show up in all of your relationships secure in Jesus, the source of your full acceptance and the peace that that truth brings.

This week, we're all about growing the root of rest. For this and the next 3 episodes, we'll be working from this insanely challenging and inviting quote from author and pastor Kris Vallotton. “Revival rest is operating out of a sense of worthiness and well-being because of what Christ already purchased for us on the cross. Revival rest looks like working from love, rather than for love. Working from acceptance rather than for acceptance. Working from approval rather than for approval. Working from identity rather than for a destiny.” What does it actually look like to live from love? To show up in your everyday believing the truth that you are fully loved already? If you want to grow this root of rest and experience it in your day-to-day, you'll have to flip the script and begin showing up love instead of working your tail off for the possibility of someone else's love or positive opinion. God loves you unconditionally and has already secured your identity as His Daughter. There's nothing you could say or do to make Him love you any more or less. Working, playing, loving, and living that truth is a divine posture change that will produce a healthy, overflowing rhythm of rest in your life.

You can't pour from an empty cup. That's true, but also the worst "advice" anyone could give you. Oh wait, that was me! I gave you that advice for years, but I WAS WRONG. I just recently learned that if we're truly going to experience life (like, really full and wonderful living) then we are going to have to put the cup down. We were not called to be cup-pourers, but overflow-ers. In this episode, the first of a 13-part series, Jen and I chat about how we're getting this wrong and open up the conversation to really address what it looks like to get it right. Here's a hint: The answer is the same name as the Deeply-Rooted Devotional I just wrote for you. Did I give too much away?! Gosh, I hope not! You'll love this episode if you're exhausted, defeated, and feel like there's just never enough of you to go around. It's time to put the cup down, pick the Bible up, and start working with God to grow some deep roots! xoxo, Lisa The Deeply-Rooted 12-Day Devotional Journey is available in a digital download and a hard copy. Take your pick, and get super intentional about growing those roots.

In this Megaphone Podcast Episode, we talk about how impossible it is to be who everyone wants you to be. How confusing it is as to be people pleasers who are warned against pleasing people. To be strong and soft and done up and look natural. To eat up. To slim down. Be assertive. Be soft. In a world full of VERY LOUD AND CONFLICTING OPINIONS, what's a girl to do? Well, we've got some ideas, and we think you're gonna like them. Spoiler Alert :: there's only ONE VOICE that actually matters. It never contradicts itself. Never wavers. Never makes you feel less-than.

A person, situation, crisis, or comparison has you feeling less-than. What's on the other side? Greater-than. Now, here's the better question: WHO is on the other side? For this, we can go straight to the Bible. “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 It even says greater-than right there in the sentence, likely so that we don't get confused! If we're talking less-than and greater-than -- we've got our players right here. God is greater-than. The enemy (in the world) is less-than. So where do you fit in? Dive in to this question and more as @Jen and I unpack how we get to the other side of feeling less than on this week's episode.

Hello friends... Jen and I wrote a gift just for you. This served as the basis for our Mother's Day week podcast special, but quickly turned from anything mom-centric to all things God-centric. Based on the children's book “I Wish You More,” we pined over what we believe God wants for all of His daughters. So this is for you, from the heart of Your Heavenly Father, to you, His precious, cherished, chosen daughter. Enjoy... "I Wish You More" I wish you more... Me than you, More still than stressed, More present than future, More living than spectating. I wish you more... Pasture than prison, More adventure than apathy, More overflow than siphon, More cozy than cool. I wish you more... Together than alone, More dance than dismay, More imagination than limitation, More quench than thirst. More... Wisdom than worry, More passion than pain, More songs than sorrow, More truth than lies, More smiles than frowns. I wish you more... Heart than hurt, More being than doing, More harmony than hustle. More... Way-finding than waffling, More bloom than wilt, And more roots than thorns. Today and everyday, I wish you more… Love, God We unpack these moments in the podcast, and I don't want to brag or anything, but it's SO GOOD. And also, Jen gets a little rowdy, so there's that.

Well, is there?! And why oh why do we always want a shortcut to fix every problem? Lisa just took a short cut (ahem, in the form of a ... cleanse...) and learned some lessons.

All of this, plus: the reason why willpower is not enough why we're always on the hunt for the shortcut the solution to this problem!
