The Resilient Podcast

In this episode I share about the transition I am in as well as my future plans for Resilient as a podcast and a platform. I also open up about my process of obedience to Jesus and walking out surrender and stewarding what I have been entrusted with. My hope is that this episode is informational as well as encouraging for your own walk with Jesus

Our culture has taught us that when something is no longer serving us, when it gets boring or hard or we just don't want it anymore, then we can replace it with a newer, better or more exciting model. Unfortunately this mindset has been applied to our marriages. We have been fed the lie that a relationship that takes investment isn't worth it if we aren't getting all the feels we did at first. But marriage is so much deeper than that. When we choose to prioritize our relationship with our husband and fight for it to thrive, we can experience a love unlike any other on this earth. In this week's episode of the Resilient Podcast, Sabrina Schlesinger shares her insight on what you can do to help your marriage thrive. It is her passion to show women that you can have a marriage that you enjoy, with a sex life you look forward to and a love that lasts.

It's one thing to have a heart for prayer, it's another thing entirely to actually spend time in prayer. Often we are told that we should pray or pray more but we aren't given tools to be able to carry that out. Understanding the 4 different types of prayer and having specific tools to aid you changes everything. Prayer doesn't have to be such a huge struggle, it can actually be enjoyable.

Do you feel like you pray enough? Many women carry a lot of shame around prayer. They constantly feel like they're not praying enough or their prayer life isn't good enough. But shame and guilt don't typically push us toward a life of prayer, they often keep us away from it. To implement a healthy prayer life we need 2 things. We first need to understand WHY God wants us to pray and then we need some practical tools to help us to sustain times of prayer. Join us for this 2 part series on cultivating a vibrant prayer life. This first episode will cover God's heart for prayer and answer the question of why we should pray. Tune in!

Many Christians are faced with the question: Can I have faith and be depressed? The struggle with mental health can be difficult to know how to navigate and even talk about. Most people have faced some level of depression in their lifetime. So the reality is that this is an issue and we must create space to discuss it. At the same time, we have the opportunity to wrestle with our mental health in partnership with Jesus, which changes so much. Join us as we sit down with Sana' Watts to discuss the intersection between our faith and the struggle with depression. TW: Suicidal thoughts are discussed in this episode.

Did you know that 1 in every 3 women experience abuse in their lifetime? That means if you have not experienced this yourself, you most likely know someone who has. Dealing with the trauma from abuse is a heartbreaking reality that many women face. And with it questions may arise. Questions like... how do I heal from abuse? Is full restoration possible? Why would God allow this? And the list goes on. We sit down with Mary DeMuth to hear her journey to finding freedom and healing from abuse in this episode of the Resilient Podcast. Whether or not you have personally experienced abuse, we invite you to listen. This conversation is important for us all, especially as believers.

God is inviting us to know Him more deeply and also to get to know ourselves in light of who He is. So then the question becomes, how do we respond? These invitations demand a wholehearted response from us if we want to see and experience all that God has. There must be spiritual violence in order to see radical results. In this episode we discuss what exactly these invitations from God are calling us to and how we can respond to them. Have you heard about the BECOMING FEARLESS MINI-COURSE?

Did you know that God is consistently extending invitations to us to go deeper with Him? Sadly we often either miss those invitations or choose not to respond to them. We get busy or prioritize other things. When we do this we are missing out on so much of what God has for us. But when we accept God's invitation, it changes everything. There is a depth that only comes to those that will respond. God is extending invitations to you. But the question is, how will you respond to them? Tune in!

There tends to be a lot of controversy, confusion and even misguidance around the topic of speaking in tongues. Believers typically have either had no teaching on it or have just been taught that they should do it, without any understanding of why or how. This is why it's so important to look at what the Bible tells us about speaking in tongues in order to be able to walk it out in confidence. Let's go on this journey and ask the questions together.

Fear presents itself in many different forms. Some of the most common are worry, negative thoughts, doubts and anxiety. If we allow this type of fear to control our lives it will consume and destroy us. The good news is that there are tools to help you live free of fear.

Breakdowns in relationship happen for many different reasons. Sometimes there are things that we've done wrong, sometimes issues have been out of our control, and sometimes there is simply miscommunication. For most of my life I had one underlying approach to relationships. It wasn't until months into my marriage that I was able to see things differently. Once I had this shift in perspective I started to apply it to ALL of my relationships and it changed everything. Tune into Ep. 46 of The Resilient Podcast to heat what changed and how you can improve your relationships as well.

You are allowed to be. You can acknowledge your needs and have them met. I think that as Christian women we often diminish ourselves to the point of only existing when I believe that God wants us to have life abundant. He wants us to have space to fully BE. But what does this look like in regards to laying down your life and the full surrender to Jesus that the Bible talks about? I believe we must hold both of these truths in tension. We cannot have one without the other. Join us for this week's episode on The Resilient Podcast to discuss further how we can walk this out.

IF GOD IS JUST, WHY DOES SUFFERING EXIST? With social media, we are able to be made more aware of injustice than ever before. News travels faster and causes rise more quickly. I believe that now more than ever we have to process injustice well in order to mobilize against it. This presents the question above

What does Biblical sexuality look like? How does that work when someone struggles with same sex attraction? How can Christians handle these questions in a way that honors God and loves others, without abandoning the truth of God's Word? I don't know if you've noticed but... it's “Pride Month”. This is a time when the LGBTQ+ community is celebrating sexuality. This has left a large portion of the Christian community unsure of how to navigate sexuality in today's culture. So I invited guest Brenna Blain onto the podcast to sit down and discuss her own journey choosing obedience to Christ while navigating same sex attraction. She helps to answer the questions above as well as so much more. Listen in now.

This episode is about so much more than the typical Father's Day talk. There is so much importance in the role of our earthly dads and how they display an image of God for us. But even more than that, as we discuss God as a Father, it leads us to better understand His unconditional love. This episode does pertain to you!! I promise. And it's worth a listen, regardless of whether you had a good dad or not. Regardless of if you love God. There is something for you here. Give it a listen.

LET'S GET REAL. You and I both know that holding onto hope can be a real struggle sometimes... or more than sometimes. In all honesty, this past week I was battling with hopelessness in my own life. But through that process I found 2 main things that help me shift my heart into hope again, regardless of my circumstances. These are steps that have helped me many times in the past that I was reminded of this week as I wrestled. I hope this episode gives you a couple tools to help you in your own fight to HOLD ONTO HOPE

I have followed Simi John on social media and seen the wisdom she carries for quite a while. But I was not prepared when I first met her for the fiery passion she brings as she speaks to women about their identity. This week we have the privilege of having Simi as a guest on The Resilient Podcast to speak on that very topic. In this episode she brings clarity on how to discover your identity and break free of the stereotypes around you. She will unpack some of the main struggles that women face when it comes to embracing who they were created to be, as well as give some direction on how to know your purpose. If I were you, I wouldn't miss this episode. Go ahead! Hit play! For Simi's book, ‘I Am Not':

A crucial part of life in the Spirit are the Gifts of the Spirit. The 9 Gifts (listed in 1 Corinthians 12) empower us as believers to have better insight and understanding, to walk in supernatural power, and to speak out what is in God's heart. These Gifts are meant to strengthen us as believers and minister to those who don't yet know Jesus. But so often we have very little knowledge of what the Bible says about the Gifts. And when we don't understand something, it makes it very difficult to operate in it or have it manifest in our lives. If you've ever had questions about the Gifts of the Spirit and how they relate to your own life, I'd encourage you to give this episode a listen.

Part 1 - The Fruit of the Spirit The Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit are both crucial to our Christian walk, but at the same time they are very different. So what makes the Fruit different from the Gifts? Which is more important? How do they each operate in our lives?

Mamas! It can be a difficult task to navigate our own emotions, let alone to parent the emotions of our children well. We all deal with emotions, some of us have even been wounded emotionally, and are trying to break that cycle with our own kids. So the question becomes, can we raise our children to have a healthy relationship with their emotions? In Ep. 37 of The Resilient Podcast, I sat down with, professional counselor, Michelle Nietert, to discuss this very issue. She had so much insight to give regarding helping kids' navigate their emotions, no matter what age they are. With practical tools, general concepts and incorporating Jesus, this episode will be incredibly helpful for any mom out there. Give it a listen.

“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12 Are there areas in your life that you are fighting for things when you only see in part? Are there areas you have tried to control even though you know God sees the whole picture? You're not the only one. We've all done this. Tune into this episode for some revelation on this issue in particular.

Can you live holy and set apart without it being motivated by legalism? I think to answer this question we first need to understand what it means to be holy. We are living in a generation where the world is telling us that we can do whatever we want. That we should live to please ourselves and not be ashamed of it. In the Church there seems to be 2 extremes with everything in between. On one end of the spectrum there is a culture of anything goes because Jesus is love. While on the other end there is condemnation, leading to a lot of performance as believers. So then, what is God's heart for us when it comes to holiness? Listen now to hear Jamie Lyn Wallnau's thoughts on it.

It's easy to trust God when things are going as planned, when our life is in control. But what do you do when your circumstances are not what you'd like? Do you trust God when you can't see how the outcome could ever be good? None of us are perfect, especially when it comes to trusting God. But we ARE able to build trust with God over time, so that when trials come we do not waver. Join us as we discuss the 3 most difficult areas to trust God with, what it looks like to build that trust with Him, and much more.

Do you have preconceived ideas of what repentance is and what it involves? Maybe you picture a man on the street corner yelling, “repent”! Or maybe repentance has been misused as a way of shaming you out of sin or even into salvation. If that's the case, I'm truly sorry. Repentance is actually such restorative process. It is a gift. True repentance is when we get to the end of ourselves and recognize our need for Jesus. Repentance comes when we have an awareness of our sin, of God's holiness and our need for Jesus to reconcile those. It is a rejection of sin and a turning away from what the world offers us. Finally, it is not harsh criticism or guilt that leads us to healthy repentance. It is the kindness and love of God that draws us into that awareness of our need for Him. Let's correct our understanding of repentance together. Join us for Ep. 33 of The Resilient Podcast where we dig in.

Please welcome Tom Cole, our first ever male guest on The Resilient Podcast

It is often through measures of healing that take place in our hearts that we start to discover who we were always intended to be. This week on The Resilient Podcast we have the opportunity to continue our conversation with Donna Cole. In this episode she breaks down what makes us women unique in our femininity. Donna talks about how God designed us with different aspects of His character within us as women. When we walk confidently in our identity, we reflect who He is. She also digs into the topic of inner healing. Through years of walking through healing in her own life, as well as many years of helping others do the same, Donna has a lot of wisdom to share on ways to usher in healing of the heart. Ultimately it is God who heals us, but there are steps we can take to start to claim that healing from deep wounds. This episode is anointed and we are believing it will change lives. Join us as we cut right to the heart with Donna.

This week I have the privilege of hosting Donna Cole on The Resilient Podcast. Donna and her husband, Tom, are the founders of Pure Heart Ministries. Their desire is to minister to hearts and go to the root of issues to deal with real hurts before the Lord. In part 1 of this interview, Donna shares her story of encountering Jesus in a radical way that brought her out of homosexuality. Woven throughout are truths about how to deal with real pain and grow in your relationship with God. She also opens up about abuse, homosexuality and how to minister to the people in your life that have been through similar situations. Donna gives great insight into topics that are not easy to navigate. Donna has spent many years addressing the issues of the heart and helping to bring healing in some of the most difficult situations. We are blessed to have her with us.

We were not created to walk alone. We are built for relationship, to be a part of a SISTERHOOD. Now more than ever it's become easy to isolate, to fly under the radar and get by doing things alone. But when we live like this we are truly missing out. There is so much to be experienced if we choose to walk together in relationship with other women. Whether it be with friends, mentors, leaders etc., we can deepen our relationship with Jesus as we grow in sisterhood. BUT... another but... the key is that we have to choose it, we have to invite others into our lives and intentionally walk together. So how do we do this? Hit play and find out!

What is real revival? What does it look like? How does it involve me and my life? As Christian women we obviously all agree that revival is good and that we should desire it. But when the topic comes up, we actually know very little about it. The good thing is that we don't have to be in the dark when it comes to revival. There is so much to be learned from looking at past revivals and seeing how God has moved, how He might move again, and how we can be a part of it.

This podcast episode is a challenge: A challenge for those of us that are married and/or moms to start to shift the culture for the single ladies in our lives. The culture I am referring to involves this idea that as women we have not arrived or had success in life until we are wives and/or mothers. It is also a challenge to my single ladies to shift their view of marriage and motherhood. Do not let it be your one and only goal in life. There is so much outside of these two things that God has for you. These seasons are gifts but they are not going to satisfy you much more than your current life does. Ladies, all of us have to start to make room for women to be celebrated in every season of life. Let us champion others in areas of importance for each and every woman. Let's shift the culture. Let's make room for single ladies to feel successful too!

Have you been faithful? Faithfulness is a key piece of our walk as Christian women. To be faithful means that you will follow through even when things are hard, or boring, or even what we can view as pointless. God views things so differently than the world does. We can all agree that it is important to be faithful and honor God with major decisions, but to be faithful with the small can be particularly hard for us. To be faithful with the small daily decisions of obedience to Christ are often the most difficult, but to God they are just as valuable. So I ask again... Have you been faithful? Not just with the “important” but also with the “little”?

There seem to be 2 main extremes when it comes to mental health. ON ONE HAND, the Church has often shied away from talking about mental health and, instead, communicates that you should just get healing/breakthrough in Christ. This can be harmful and often leaves believers feeling guilty for “not praying hard enough” or not “having faith” to overcome real battles with mental health. ON THE OTHER HAND, our current culture is telling us that if we struggle anxiety/depression we just need to accept that it's just the way you are and live with it, simply learning coping mechanisms. This can also be damaging because it can cause us to take on these mental health issues as part of our identity. In this episode, Caris Snider, a Christian mental health advocate, discusses what it looks like to battle mental health in partnership with Jesus. She recognizes how real anxiety and depression are, while also expressing what freedom in Christ can look like. If you want to be part of this conversation, listen now!

Alright, so the last episode was heavily focused on our role as believers to share our faith as well as dealing with the fear that holds us back. Now in THIS EPISODE we are getting super practical... I am breaking down the specifics of what to say when presenting the Gospel, as well as how to share your testimony to draw others to Jesus. The main thing that kept me from evangelizing for most of my life was the fact that I just didn't know WHAT TO SAY! I don't want you to be stopped by the same thing so I made my own tools accessible for you. Give this one a listen!

Did you know that there are 2 main reasons that Christians don't share their faith? 1. They are afraid of what people will think of how someone will respond. 2. They don't know what to say or how to share the Gospel. Both of these reasons can be addressed so that we, as Christians, can boldly share the love of Jesus. Evangelism is not just for the pastor or missionary. Each believer is called to minister to those around them. This can be overwhelming to think about but it's much more simple than we realize. Join us on the Resilient Podcast for part 1 of a 2 part series on Lifestyle Evangelism.

Do you struggle to hear from God? Do you know that you CAN hear God's voice, but don't have the confidence that you are hearing Him speak? If that's you, just know you're not alone. Many women long to hear from God but don't feel they have clarity on what He is saying. That's why I sat down with author, Jenny Randle to talk about this specific topic on the Resilient Podcast. Jenny wrote a book called Getting to Know God's Voice, where she breaks down how to grow in learning to hear from God. Take a moment to tune into Episode 22 today to be equipped and encouraged this area of your walk with Jesus.

Peace is not a far off idea. Peace is a promise from God. But for some reason it rarely seems to come easily. Anxiety, fear and worry all can get in the way of our peace, leaving us feeling powerless. When we are living in a cycle of fear it can feel like we don't have a choice. It can feel like this is your life and you just have to accept it. Maybe you can't even picture your life without these thoughts and feelings. But, in fact, we do have a choice. Our thoughts and fears do not have to control us. We can actually control them. And when we choose to make war on fear, we are actually choosing peace. Does this mean we are perfect? No. Does it mean we never struggle with anxiety? No. But it does mean that we have chosen to fight for peace. And as we fight, God fights on our behalf. Hit play for an encouraging word on how to fight for peace in your own life!

Tune in for our last episode of 2020 on the Resilient Podcast! As we head into the week of Christmas, Shelby focuses in on the meaning behind Immanuel, God with us. God is so present, even when others cannot or will not be. He is near and desires to be with us. It is this very desire that set into motion the entire nativity story and the reason that we celebrate Christmas. God's original intention was and His eternal plan is to dwell among us as His people, His children. This is His heart behind Immanuel. Not only that, but He offers us so much as our Immanuel God. Hit play to hear more about what He offers to you as Immanuel.

Is there purpose in motherhood? We live in a fast-paced world where we have been taught a certain way to be successful. But could there be success in the call to mother children? Or is it only self-sacrifice? We have been convinced that this role comes secondary to fulfilling our own needs or chasing after our own dreams. But why does it have to be one or the other? What if motherhood can actually help to shape us into the best version of who God created us to be? Whether you are a mom, a single woman nervous about having kids, or someone getting ready to start your family this is for you. In this episode special guest Julianna Bevere from Sons & Daughters joins us to crack open some of the most asked questions when it comes to motherhood. You won't want to miss this one!

Do you feel fully accepted? By God? By those closest to you? Even by yourself? As women we often struggle to believe that we are fully accepted just as we are. We seem to feel like everything in our lives must be earned. We even translate this into how we view God. I believe that we struggle with living fully accepted because of a lack of unconditional love. Even the best earthly love is not able to come without any conditions. But God does not love like this. His love for us is not attached in any way to what we do or don't do. This can be a hard concept to grasp, but understanding it better changes everything. Let's unpack this together... join me on episode 18 of The Resilient Podcast as we discuss Living Fully Accepted.

Just because you are not married yet does NOT mean that you don't have a sex drive. Our bodies were created to have sex, specifically sex inside of covenant, where we bond together forever. But then how should we approach our sexuality when we are single or in a dating relationship? In this generation we are seeing so many extremes, and when it comes to talking about sex as Christian women we are seeing the same thing. We have seen the extreme of toxic purity culture as well as the extreme of hookup culture. Neither one of those were God's idea. He had something much better in mind when it comes to our sexuality. Tune into the Resilient Podcast as we sit down with Sloane Wilson, who works for the singleness and dating portion of Moral Revolution. She will walk you through so many topics such as sex, why wait for marriage, how to handle your sex drive, dealing with porn, the role of accountability, and walking out relationships with guys.

!!! SEX, SEX, SEX !!! Ok, so now do I have your attention? That's good because for the next few weeks we are going to be talking all about SEX. We'll be digging into how God created our sexuality and how to have a healthy view of sex in our current culture. The sad reality is that culture is bombarding us with so many lies about what sex is meant to be. But at the same time, the Church is typically silent on these issues, leaving us with very few places turn for guidance. In this episode, I chat with Caitlin Zick, the co- director of Moral Revolution and she shares her own story of fighting for a healthy and exciting sex life with her husband. She also digs into the hookup culture around us and leaves listeners with great resources to help us navigate our God given sex drive. Listen now!

Have you ever considered foster care or adoption? Whether that be currently, in the near future or just as a far off idea? Both my husband and I come from families that have either adopted and/or fostered, so this topic is very near to my heart. I have seen first hand the life-altering effects that adoption can have. It is such a powerful way to express the unconditional love of the Father ❤️ In this episode of The Resilient Podcast, I sit down with, my mother-in-law, Kim Mossman and she shares the details of her family's journey though both foster care and adoption. She opens up about the victories and struggles, and gives some advice on what to expect if you are considering this for your own life. Kim also shares some advice that would have helped her if she'd known it on the front end.

SINGLE AND DATING LADIES... this one is for YOU!! God is very specific in His direction for your life and He knows the best path for you. God wants to clearly direct your the steps you take in life, and that even applies to your dating and then marriage relationships. If God cares about what college you go to and where you work, why would He not want to be involved in your singleness, dating and marriage? One piece of this is having a willing heart to be obedient to His leading. We must all be sensitive to His Spirit and what He is saying. Join us on this episode of The Resilient Podcast, where Hannah Cusack-Cowart details how to embrace God's direction for your life from her personal experience. Listen now.

Marriage is incredible, but it can also be very difficult sometimes. It can push us to our limits and bring us to the end of ourselves. We all deal with different struggles in our personal lives and we often bring those issues into marriage with us. And it can be even more stressful knowing how to navigating those struggles together. In this episode of the Resilient Podcast Brittany Widman candidly shares about the struggles that she and her husband went through that almost tore apart their relationship. She opens up about dealing with addiction, learning communication and what patterns they have set up to restore their marriage. Make sure to check this one out.

My husband, Clarke, and I could not be more different. Starting off our marriage almost 5 years ago, I wish I would have had tools like the Enneagram to better understand him and even myself. Our relationship was a struggle until we could start to see where the other person was coming from, why they did things a certain way, and what made them who they were. Once we started to embrace our differences we were able to celebrate those things and allow our differences to make us better. This is the case, not only in marriage, but in all relationships. We can't just tolerate what makes us unique. We have to champion those things in each other. And as we do that, we allow ourselves and others to be who God created us to be. One tool that has majorly helped me to see people through that lens is the Enneagram. So in this episode, my husband, Clarke and I dig into our relationship, our enneagram numbers and how we reconciled what made us so different. Join us for some laughs!

Unpopular Opinion: Surrendering our lives to Jesus is actually one of the best forms of self-care out there In our culture, we have been fed the lie that if you chase a perfect life, get everything you want and make sure your every need is met, you will be satisfied. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying there isn't a time and place for self-care. In fact, I am an advocate for making sure you are healthy and doing what it takes to get there. But I also believe that we need to approach this topic with caution. We need to first see what God says about our lives. When looking at the Bible, it is very clear that God asks His children to deny themselves, to lose their lives, and to surrender everything to Him. The good news is that He actually surrendered His life for us first AND He has our best in mind. So what does self-care and the focus on self look like in context of surrendering to Jesus? Well, let's talk about it. Tune into Episode 11 of the Resilient Podcast - Surrender as Self-Care.
