ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this special Summer Flip Series episode, I'm so excited to share a powerful and honest conversation I had on the Online Business for Christian Women podcast with my dear friend Stefanie Gass. We're diving deep into the truth behind what really creates long-term success in online business—refining your messaging, trusting your path, and giving yourself permission to fully own your genius. I open up about my journey from PR and blogging to building a multi-million dollar brand, and how messaging clarity + visibility became the foundation of it all. We also talk about the difference between content and messaging, how to make your message move people (and create sales), and why the real transformation begins when you stop trying to be someone else and start fully owning what's already inside you. Plus, I share my favorite visibility tips for landing opportunities before you feel "ready." If you're craving alignment, clarity, and a permission slip to go all in on your calling, this episode is for you! Liked this episode?

Have you ever felt like you were the fattest or ugliest person in the room? Maybe you showed up at an event and feel self-conscious because everyone is smaller or better looking than you. It's happened to all of us, but there is a way, from scripture to handle the emotions and thought spirals that come when we have this feeling. Today, Christian body image coach and author, Heather Creekmore walks us through a biblical approach to thinking about our bodies, our purpose, and what to do when those "I'm the biggest person in the room" thoughts overwhelm you.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis dive into 2 Kings 16 and 2 Chronicles 28, exploring the reign of King Ahaz and Judah's deepening spiritual decline. Unlike his father Jotham, Ahaz chooses political strategy over faithful dependence on God—offering temple treasures to Assyria for protection and sacrificing his own sons in pagan rituals. As Judah suffers military defeat and moral collapse, a surprising act of mercy emerges when Israel's army, rebuked by the prophet Oded, returns captives and plunder in an act of repentance. Sally and Curtis reflect on misplaced trust, the dangers of looking to the world for solutions, and the steadfast hand of God that moves even in seasons of rebellion and despair. Through this cautionary tale, listeners are reminded that God's help is near and His mercy still reaches into the darkest chapters of our story.

Hey sister! I have a super exciting announcement for you today… it's INTERN WEEK on my team!

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  In this episode, we continue our deep dive into Dr. Lee Warren's 10 Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery, focusing on commandments 6 through 10. As freedom-from-alcohol coaches, we share how these powerful principles shape our approach to helping women break free from the overdrinking cycle. From prioritizing long-term well-being to understanding the transformative power of thoughts, we explore actionable steps—what we like to call Tiny Tinas—to help you take practical steps toward change. Throughout the conversation, we offer personal anecdotes, real-world applications, and insights on how to overcome the immediate discomfort that often comes with transformation.  This episode is packed with advice for anyone looking to rewrite their story, not just in terms of addiction, but in breaking generational patterns, celebrating progress, and renewing your mind. Commandments 6-10: 6️⃣ I Must Love Tomorrow More Than I Hate How I Feel Right Now Hope is the key that pulls us forward. We talk about how focusing on the possibilities ahead can change your outlook on today's temporary discomfort, helping you take action toward a brighter future. 7️⃣ I Must Stop Making an Operation Out of Everything Life is hard, but not every challenge requires drastic measures. We discuss the importance of choosing humor, forgiveness, and simply moving forward—without making everything a major operation. 8️⃣ I Must Not Perpetuate—or Start—Harmful Generational Thought or Behavioral Issues in My Life or Family This is a game-changing commandment. It's all about breaking the cycle. You don't have to pass on trauma, shame, addiction, or fear. We explore how you can rewrite your family's story by making changes in your own life and actions. 9️⃣ I Must Believe That I'm Getting Better at What I'm Doing Growth is a fact, not a feeling. In this section, we dive into how consistency in doing the work—no matter how invisible it seems at first—leads to tangible growth. Trusting the process is key, even when progress feels slow.

In this episode of Rise and Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on the deeply personal and vulnerable cries found in Psalm 119:145–152. The psalmist's desperate plea for rescue is not just a call for relief, but a heartfelt expression of devotion and trust in God's enduring truth. Curtis explores how adversity still finds us even in faithful obedience, while Sally shares how sleepless nights have become moments for prayer and spiritual connection. Together, they uncover how God's nearness and eternal promises offer strength and peace in the face of fear, distraction, and spiritual attack.

I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :)What does it mean to embrace life with God? We are not talking about the Instagram-perfect, highlight-reel version of life, but the real, raw, beautiful-in-the-making kind of life that we live when we walk hand-in-hand with God.Let's be honest—life doesn't always look like we thought it would. Often it's messy, uncertain, and not what we expected. But what if embracing life with God isn't about perfect circumstances... but about trusting a perfect Savior? Go grab a notebook, pen, and your favorite beverage, because you're going to leave this episode encouraged, equipped, and reminded that God is with you in every step of your journey.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on the transitional moment between kings in Judah and the powerful beginning of the prophet Micah's ministry. As King Jotham ascends the throne and seeks to walk in obedience, the underlying corruption and idolatry of the people remain unaddressed. The episode explores God's call to repentance through Micah's vivid and haunting vision of judgment on Samaria and Jerusalem. Curtis and Sally discuss the deep wounds caused by rebellion, the need to tear down false foundations, and the faithful patience of a God who continually calls His people back. With insights into leadership, repentance, and restoration, this conversation challenges listeners to examine their own foundations and lean into the grace and truth of God's enduring promise.

So many of you come to me and say things like, "Natalie, I was such a doormat. I just stood there and let it all happen."Listen up, beautiful butterfly: You didn't “just stand there.” You were resisting the entire time, and no one told you that's what it was. Until now.In this episode, I shine a flashlight on the small but powerful acts of resistance Christian women pull off daily in emotionally and spiritually abusive marriages. We're talking journal-hiding, secret-crying, sanity-preserving, Jesus-whispering defiance that deserves a standing ovation—but probably got met with church lady side-eye instead.Here's what you'll learn:What resistance really looks like Why keeping your mouth shut can be a power moveHow even the tiniest choice—like skipping his coffee—can be the first domino to freedomWhy the culture you were raised in trained you to erase your own bravery—and how we're done with that nowRead the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources: This podcast script is inspired by Allan Wade's article, “Small Acts of Living: Everyday Resistance to Violence and Other Forms of Oppression.” Some related Flying Free Podcast episodes you may enjoy: “Should a Christian Wife Submit to an Abusive Husband?” and “An Emotional Recovery Tool That Changes Everything.”

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 119:137–143, a passage that highlights the enduring righteousness and trustworthiness of God's Word. As they explore themes of pressure, indignation, and feeling insignificant, they point to the joy and peace that come from anchoring our lives in God's thoroughly tested promises. With connections to Isaiah 55 and 2 Corinthians 1, this conversation reminds us that God's Word brings life, even in a world that plays by different rules.

Hey love! In this episode, we're diving into the real power of journaling—and why it's so much more than a cute notebook and a pretty pen. I recently came across an article by Peachey Counselling called “The Power of Journaling for Your Mental Health,” and it confirmed what I've known through years of lived experience—journaling is a powerful tool for healing, clarity, and connection with God.In this episode, I break down 5 mental health benefits of journaling shared in the article, while adding the biblical lens that makes it even more transformative. We talk about:

In the gap, we often find ourselves confused about God's plans for us. Why did He call us to this if it's gonna be so difficult? Maybe it doesn't even look like it's gonna work.  How do we bridge the gap between our calling and the practical steps needed to fulfill that calling? Join Heather as she emphasizes the importance of the equipping and sanctification process, using the biblical story of David as a key example and highlighting the process and path to fulfilling a calling that often involves tribulation and suffering. Still, it is through these challenges that individuals are prepared for their purpose. She encourages listeners to embrace their calling and invest in their growth. And even when it feels overwhelming, we can press through the gap to reach the promises the Lord has given us.     00:00 Bridging the Gap Between Calling and Action 13:13 The Sanctification Process: Equipping for Purpose   PS. Don't forget that we are rebranding here, so Kingdom Academy Podcast will change names in the next month or so to Burning Bones Podcast, this is about Jeremiah 20:9, as we often have a fear of speaking but what the Lord has birthed in us has been caught up in our bones like a fire we cannot contain!

Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World In a culture built on instant gratification and fast results, trusting God's timing can feel unnatural—even impossible. We're constantly told to hustle, push harder, and take control of our destinies. But the truth is, when we surrender our timeline and desires to God, it leads to a richer, more fulfilling life. Understanding God's Timing It's easy to assume we know what's best for our lives. We make plans, set goals, and chase what we believe will fulfill us—only to find that our best-laid strategies often fall short. But God's timing isn't just different—it's perfect. When we root ourselves in biblical truth, we can step back from striving and lean into the promises of a God who is never late. His timing may not align with ours, but it always aligns with His purpose. Trusting God's timing means believing that He's orchestrating something far greater than what we can see today. Navigating Seasons of Waiting Waiting can be one of the hardest things we do. Whether it's waiting on a relationship, a job opportunity, healing, or a sense of purpose, it's natural to feel doubt, fear, or even frustration. It's crucial to recognize that it's not about denying these feelings but understanding that they are part of a larger, orchestrated plan. When fear and doubt whisper that we're falling behind, we must remember: trust God's timing. Intentional Living in a Fast-Paced World We live in a world that equates speed with success. But the kingdom of God often moves at a different pace. Jesus was never in a hurry, and yet He fulfilled every part of His mission. We are invited to do the same: to live intentionally, not reactively. To trust God's timing, we must actively resist the pressure to keep up with the world's pace. That means setting boundaries, evaluating what truly matters, and making space for rest, prayer, and spiritual discipline. When we do this, we trade anxiety for peace—and burnout for purpose.

Hey Friend, Can I share something I wish someone had told me a long time ago? You can eat clean, take the supplements, track your hormones, and still feel stuck if your gut isn't working the way God designed it to. I learned this the hard way. I was exhausted, moody, and constantly bloated… and nothing “worked.” Until I shifted my focus to the gut. That's when things finally started to change. → My energy came back. → My cycles leveled out. → My brain fog lifted. So this week on the podcast, I'm sharing 6 reasons why gut health is the foundation for whole-body healing. If you've been feeling dismissed by doctors or discouraged by dead ends, I think this episode is going to give you some serious clarity—and a few simple steps to get started today.

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  In this vulnerable and powerful conversation, we sit down with our dear friend and community leadership team member Heather Dillion to hear her story of stepping out of the darkness of alcohol and into the light of God's grace. Heather is a successful attorney, wife, and mom—but behind the scenes, she was quietly struggling for years. Heather shares how a high-pressure lifestyle and long-standing habits slowly eroded her peace, her joy, and her ability to show up fully in her own life. From early drinking in college to a deeply public rock bottom that led her to seek help, Heather speaks honestly about the unraveling—and the rebuilding—that followed. With the support of her family and community, and a deepening relationship with God, Heather began to heal. She opens up about her time in traditional rehab treatment, how she learned to regulate her emotions in healthy ways, and how community and faith became her anchors in the storm. Her story reminds us that there is zero shame in seeking help.  This episode is for the woman who's silently struggling, the one who's managing everything on the outside but feeling broken inside. Heather's message is clear: freedom is possible, and Jesus is not afraid of your darkest moments. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How alcohol quietly became a barrier between Heather and the life she truly wanted The mental, emotional, and spiritual toll of trying to keep it all together Why hitting a low point became the very thing that opened the door to healing The role of faith, community, and professional support in her transformation Daily practices that help Heather experience peace and presence Encouragement for anyone who feels alone in their struggle Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!

In this episode, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 119:129-136, a passage filled with awe for God's word and sorrow over the world's disobedience. They explore the psalmist's deep longing for God's commands, the peace that comes from waiting on the Lord, and the tension between divine truth and the brokenness of the world. With references to John 14, James 1, and 1 John 4, the conversation draws out how love for God leads to obedience and how the Spirit empowers us to live faithfully, even when surrounded by injustice. Ultimately, they offer encouragement rooted in Christ's victory and abiding presence.

Today Heather and ChatGPT tackle the same question, "What do I do if I feel jealous of someone skinnier than me?" This is the question most of us have experienced, but few want to say out loud. While ChatGPT does a good job of acknowledging that comparison issues are about idealization and more, Heather fills in the holes with what the Bible has to say to our comparison issues. She talks about the importance of gratitude and how we really do need to change the way we objectify and the narratives we have in our heads regarding other people who have a "better" body than we do.

Can any woman change the world?  Discover the potential of women to be world changers with this week's inspiring guest, Brooke Kehl! Brooke Kehl, Marketing Director of Eastern European Mission, explores what it really means for women to step into their calling, take faith-driven risks, and create ripple effects of hope across the globe. Brooke shares her personal journey growing up in a missionary family, the powerful influence of other women's testimonies, and moving stories of transformation—like Zara's courageous faith despite its manifold risks to her life. This episode is filled with authentic conversations about overcoming the comfort zone, staying faithful through challenges, and practical encouragement for anyone wondering if they're truly cut out to make a difference. Listen in to learn how ordinary acts and steadfast faith can change lives around the world—and how you, too, are invited to become a world changer right where you are. Catch Up: Highlights from Our Episode with Brooke Kehl Brooke's journey began in East Africa, where she learned firsthand what “risky faith” looks like from her missionary parents. Over the past seven years with EEM, she's devoted her life to spreading hope across cultures, and in our conversation, she opens up about the power of testimony, stepping out of your comfort zone, and why courage starts with experiencing God's love. Stories That Inspire Action Brooke shares the story of Zahra, a refugee from Afghanistan, whose life—and that of her husband—was forever changed by encountering Jesus through a Bible in her own language. Despite facing grave danger, Zahra's courage ignited a ripple effect that started a church among other Afghans and led to an entirely new chapter of hope for many. Another unforgettable story is that of Faena from Kazakhstan, who memorized just one verse of scripture in a prison cell—and discovered transformative love and purpose, now passing on that hope to others in Central Asia. Real Talk: Choosing Calling Over Comfort Brooke doesn't pretend risk-taking is easy. She honestly shares her struggle with comfort and reveals how leaning on God for strength—and surrounding herself with inspiring women—has kept her moving forward, even when it feels easier to quit. How You Can Make A Difference Today You might wonder, “Am I really a world changer?” Brooke says YES! You don't need to travel the globe to live on mission. Opening your heart to people around you—at a coffee shop, in your neighborhood, in daily conversations—can change lives. Every small step, backed by God's love, matters. Connect, Learn, and Get Involved Want more inspiring stories? Visit EEM.org, and follow Eastern European Mission on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You'll find testimony-filled newsletters, more powerful podcasts, and opportunities to join their mission. Final Word of Encouragement Brooke reminds us that courage comes from knowing how deeply we are loved by God. When we root ourselves in that truth, we find the strength to say “yes” to impact—wherever we are.   We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Why imposter syndrome is sneakier than you think Ep 338 | Show notes are here: https://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/338 Do you feel like you'll never measure up? If you have a God-shaped dream, maybe you're familiar with the quiet voice in your head whispering, “Who am I to do this?” That's imposter syndrome. And it's likely been hanging around longer than you've known. In this episode, you'll learn:

In episode, 152, we're discussing that if you've ever lost weight, only to gain it all back (plus more), you are not alone. That yo-yo dieting cycle is exhausting—and discouraging. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 deeper reasons why you keep yo-yo dieting and what you can start doing differently today Inside this video, we'll talk about: Why relying on willpower alone isn't enough (and what God offers instead) What happens when you only address the body but ignore your spirit and soul How to stay grounded when “life is life-ing” and everything goes off track Why rules and restriction won't heal emotional eating And how to follow God's plan for weight loss—not the world's ⭐️ If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, it's time for a new approach—one rooted in healing, not hustling.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on 2 Kings 14:28–29 and 15:8–29, examining a turbulent period in Israel's history marked by assassinations, short reigns, and a refusal to turn from sin. As king after king follows the destructive example of Jeroboam, the nation spirals toward exile despite God's long-suffering patience and repeated warnings through prophets like Amos. The hosts draw powerful parallels between the kings' desperate grip on power and our own tendency to control outcomes instead of trusting God's promises. Through this sobering account, they highlight the freedom that comes from surrender—releasing control, remembering God's faithfulness, and walking daily in His plan.

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Christy and Meade welcome Jill, a beloved member of the But Jesus Drank Wine leadership team, to share her powerful story of breaking free from alcohol and drawing closer to God. After ten years of trying to moderate her drinking, Jill was inspired by Christy's sobriety story in the summer of 2023 and made the bold decision to stop drinking entirely. What followed was a journey of spiritual renewal, mental clarity, and deeper intimacy with God. Jill opens up about the subtle ways alcohol had taken hold of her life—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. She shares how it consumed her mental energy, fueled guilt and shame, and ultimately stood in the way of the peace and purpose she longed for. Through surrender, community, and daily obedience, Jill experienced true freedom—and now encourages others to do the same. This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating caregiving, motherhood, and the pressure to “keep it together.” Jill's courage to speak up and step out is a reminder that the cost of honesty is far outweighed by the gift of freedom. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why moderation isn't always harmless—and what it might be costing you How alcohol can quietly become a spiritual and emotional burden What it means to truly surrender a habit to God The role of testimony and vulnerability in personal transformation Encouragement for women in the “sandwich generation” carrying invisible loads How community and faith walk hand-in-hand toward lasting sobriety Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!
