Have you ever wondered if what you're doing really matters? Maybe your days feel ordinary. Maybe you're faithfully serving your family, showing up for work, caring for others, or quietly doing what God has called you to do—but sometimes you wonder if it's making any difference at all. If you've ever felt that way, this week's episode of The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friend, Bible teacher, and author Crickett Keeth to discuss her new Bible study, Living Out a Life That Matters. Through Paul's relationship with Timothy in 2 Timothy, Crickett reminds us that every believer has a God-given purpose and that our lives carry eternal significance—even when they feel small, routine, or unseen. In our conversation, you'll discover: • How to identify and live out your unique God-given purpose• Why comparison steals our joy and distracts us from our calling• The importance of encouraging and investing in others• How God uses even the smallest acts of faithfulness for His glory• Why it's never too late to make an eternal impact One of my favorite moments from our conversation was when Crickett shared the story of her mother in a nursing home. Though she could no longer see, hear, walk, or speak, God still used her simple smile to point others to Jesus. It's a beautiful reminder that God never puts His children "on the shelf." Friend, your life matters. Your obedience matters. Your faithfulness matters. And God can use you right where you are today. I pray this conversation encourages you to embrace the purpose God has given you and to trust that He is working through your life in ways you may never fully see this side of heaven.

Have you ever looked around at your family, friends, and the people you love most and wondered, Why do I still feel lonely? If you're in midlife, you may be surprised by how often this feeling shows up—even when nothing seems wrong. In this episode, I share some of my own experiences with loneliness during this season of life, including the transition of my daughter leaving for the Navy, changing family dynamics, evolving friendships, and the quiet emotional shifts that often happen in midlife. We talk about why loneliness isn't always about being alone, how grief and transition often fuel these feelings, and how God can use these moments to reveal deeper needs, bring healing, and guide us into new seasons of connection. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Loneliness Can Show Up Even When You're Surrounded by People You Love [04:00] The Hidden Grief Behind Many Midlife Transitions [06:00] Why Midlife Is a Season of Restructuring Relationships [08:00] How God Uses Seasons of Quiet to Get Our Attention [12:00] Friendship Changes, Relationship Shifts, and Learning to Let Go [14:00] Why Loneliness Is Not the Same as Being Alone [18:00] What My Daughter's Empty Room Taught Me About New Seasons [20:00] What Loneliness May Be Trying to Tell You RESOURCES: Join us for “Navigating Loneliness and Disconnection in Midlife” (July 2026 Topic in the Emotional Confidence Club)  If loneliness, emotional disconnection, or major life transitions have been showing up for you lately, the Emotional Confidence Club is a place to process those experiences alongside other Christian women who understand what you're going through. In July, we'll be taking a deeper look at loneliness and emotional disconnection, exploring questions like: Why can I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people I love? What is the difference between being alone and feeling disconnected? What kind of connection am I truly longing for in this season? Where is God inviting me into deeper healing, community, and relationship? To learn more, visit: AliciaMichelle.com/club RELATED EPISODES: Ep 295: Overcoming Loneliness: Practical Mindset Shifts to Build Friendships Starting Now with Becky Harling Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever felt like your mind just won't slow down?

Most importantly, you'll be reminded that struggling with anxiety does not make you a bad Christian, and you do not have to walk through it alone.If you've been carrying the weight of worry, feeling overwhelmed by life, or simply longing for more peace, this conversation is for you.

What if infertility isn't just revealing your desire for a baby—but revealing where God wants to bring healing, freedom, and deeper trust? In this episode, Courtney shares the story behind The Waiting Well Framework, the transformation women have experienced inside it, and how this Christ-centered coaching program is helping women find peace, purpose, and hope while trying to conceive.

Anthea Hodgson - Author *The Palace of Lost Virtue* In 1898, Marigold Harrington arrives on the goldfields of Western Australia with conviction in her heart. The daughter of a prospector and a proud member of the Christian Women’s Temperance Union, she dreams of rescuing women the gold rush has forgotten, those trapped in the shadows of brothels and bars. Across town, Pansy Arlington presides over the Palace of Pleasure, her own small empire built from ruin. When Marigold arrives at her door, offering God’s forgiveness, Pansy surprises her with unexpected kindness. The two women spark an unlikely friendship, but in a rough, lawless town built on greed and desire, their bond will be tested by betrayal, violence and a crime that will echo through the years. Inspired by true events and the real women of the gold rush, The Palace of Lost Virtue dares to rewrite history books, giving voice to the lives of the formidable women who lived and died in the goldfields. By the bestselling author of The War Nurses, this is a lively and colourful tale about loyalty, forgiveness and freedom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can work hard…make good money…and still feel uncertain about your financial decisions.Because wise stewardship isn't just about earning more.It's about knowing:what matters most…where you're going…and how to invest your time and money intentionally over time.And for many women, that clarity is the missing piece.In this episode, financial planner Leah Hadley joins me for a powerful conversation about intentional investing, financial stewardship, and the hidden mindset patterns that quietly shape the way we earn, spend, save, and lead.Leah shares how her own journey—from teacher, to equity research analyst, to business owner—helped her realize that sustainable success isn't built by reacting under pressure.It's built through intentional decisions aligned with your values, your season, and the kind of life you actually want to create.Here's some of what we get into in this episode:• why financial overwhelm often starts with a lack of clarity—not a lack of capability• the quiet money beliefs that may be influencing your decisions without you realizing it• how the Intentional Money Method helps women approach finances with more confidence and alignment• how intentional stewardship creates more peace, confidence, and long-term growth• why wise investing is about more than quick returns—it's about building a life aligned with your values• and the connection between financial clarity, intentional leadership, and sustainable business growthLeah also shares her free resource:Intentional Investing for Women—a beginner-friendly ebook designed to help women think strategically and confidently about investing and long-term wealth building.You can grab it here:https://www.watchherthrive.co/opt-in-4a88ce86-e76e-4cf1-b969-83b15364859aIf you've been avoiding your finances…feeling uncertain about your next financial step…or carrying pressure around money decisions…this episode will remind you that wise stewardship starts with clarity.Not fear.Not pressure.Not trying to figure everything out overnight.But intentional decisions made one step at a time.And I'd love to continue the conversation with you inside the REDEEM Her Time Community.Come share:

Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working?This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal.In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet.In this episode we talk about:Doubt as a doorway — not a dead endWhat to do when God feels completely silentPraying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single dayThe prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faithBeing angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)What faith actually looks like inside a military life full of uncertaintyHow to worship God through genuine bitternessComing out of the hardest season still standing — and still believingScripture anchor: Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."Whether you are a lifelong woman of faith or you are somewhere in the middle of the hardest wrestling match of your spiritual life — you are safe here.Bring your questions. Bring your doubt. Bring the things you have never said out loud. Because we believe that is exactly where the real thriving begins.

Allie cracks open “Yesteryear,” a time-travel novel that supposedly crushes the tradwife movement and Christian nationalism. Allie peels back to the progressive motivations behind the fiction, while showing the parallels between the book's protagonist and Hannah Neeleman, better known as Ballerina Farm. Additionally, the author said she researched Christianity via Reddit, which results in a number of inconsistencies in the protagonist's faith. Finally, Allie takes some viewer questions on a viewer's husband being deployed, as well as female pastors in a children's ministry. Do you have a question for Allie?

Amanda Hietter shares on this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast about surviving, abuse, surrender, and what happens when you realize you have spent years carrying life in survival mode. Not thriving. Not truly living. Just surviving. Amanda speaks honestly about fear, control, healing, and learning to trust God again in places where life had taught her to brace for impact. There is something steady and grounding about this conversation. No pretending. Just authentic truth. Just a woman who has been there and is finding her way back. This conversation was originally recorded during FORTIFIED: Women Rising in Authority, Ease, and Joy.In this episode, we talk about:Survival mode and emotional exhaustionAbuse and healingFear, surrender, and trustLearning to receive supportLiving differently instead of just copingWhat real freedom begins to look like

Have you ever felt exhausted from constantly thinking about how you're doing, how you're perceived, what you're accomplishing, or whether you're enough? If we're honest, most of us live there more often than we'd like to admit. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author Morgan Krueger to talk about her new book, Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself. Together, we explored a truth that feels both challenging and freeing: the more focused we become on ourselves, the more anxious, insecure, and unsatisfied we often feel. In a culture that constantly tells us to build our own platform, protect our image, and chase self-fulfillment, Morgan offers a refreshing invitation to lift our eyes and fix them on Jesus instead. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why self-focus often leads to anxiety, comparison, and striving• The three struggles that commonly keep us stuck: pride, fear, and doubt• How confession, community, and God's Word help us break free from isolation• Simple ways to magnify Jesus in everyday life• Why the small, unseen acts of faithfulness matter more than we realize• How Mary's words, "My soul magnifies the Lord," can become our daily prayer If you've been feeling weary from carrying the weight of proving yourself, performing for others, or trying to control every outcome, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart. Friend, you were never created to make your own name great. You were created to magnify His. And as you do, you'll discover the joy, peace, and purpose your heart has been longing for all along.

Have you felt more emotional lately… crying more easily, getting irritated faster, or reacting in ways that don't feel like you? You're not overreacting. And you're not losing control. In this episode of the Hello Hormones series on Fit & Fueled by Faith, we're talking about why emotions can feel more intense in midlife and what your body is actually going through. Because this isn't just “your mood.” It's hormonal, physical, and deeply connected to your nervous system. In this episode, we cover: • Why estrogen and progesterone affect emotional regulation • How cortisol and stress amplify reactions • Why your nervous system feels more sensitive • How emotional load in midlife adds to overwhelm • Faith-based ways to ground yourself in this season You're not too emotional. Your body is asking for support. Fit & Fueled by Faith — where the female body meets faith.Download the Free 7 Holy Habits Guide: https:// bit.ly/7holyhabits

What does it look like to stay planted in Jesus when life feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or costly? In episode one of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, worship leader, and longtime friend Brooke Ligertwood to talk about anointing, obedience, creativity, and surrender. Together, they explore the weight and wonder of being entrusted with God's calling… and how true freedom is often found not in striving, but in faithfully staying with Jesus one day at a time. Brooke shares personal stories about discovering songwriting at a young age, stewarding creativity through both worship, and learning that the goal of her life isn't success or recognition, but simply to remain close to Jesus. Shelley and Brooke also reflect on the beauty of being “good trees” – rooted, nourished, and trusting God alone with the fruit their lives produce. This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched, misunderstood, weary, or unsure of what obedience looks like in this season. You'll walk away encouraged to stay planted, take heart, and trust God with the outcome! If you want more from Brooke, you can find her at @brookeligertwood on Instagram or www.brookeligertwood.com.

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

Do you believe that self-care is selfish? For a lot of Christian women, that question hits close to home. If you've spent most of your life believing that caring for yourself meant you were putting yourself before God or others, this episode will shift that mindset. This kicks off a 5-part Summer Self-Care Series where every episode gives you real, practical ways to care for your body... including gentle detox tips you can start right away...without taking a spa day every so often or complicated daily routines. But before we get into the practical, we have to get into the foundational. Because if you believe self-care is selfish, no wellness strategy will stick. So we're going straight to Scripture and looking at what God actually says about loving and caring for yourself versus what the world has twisted it to mean.

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone else's words, assuming they were judging you? Or maybe you've caught yourself criticizing someone in your mind, convinced you're seeing the situation clearly. If so, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my friend Shannon Popkin to discuss her new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, we explored a topic that many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly—judgment. What if the criticism we feel from others is often rooted in our own insecurities? What if the harsh standards we apply to others reveal places in our own hearts that need God's healing mercy? Through powerful stories like Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reminds us that while God is a righteous Judge, He is also abundantly merciful. His mercy changes how we see ourselves and how we see others. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this: we often feel judged and become judgy in response. But Jesus shows us a different way. Though He was wrongly judged, He responded with compassion, forgiveness, and grace. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why judgment and insecurity are often connected• How contempt quietly damages our relationships• What Jonah's story reveals about our own hearts• How God's mercy transforms the way we treat others• Why the cross is the ultimate picture of love and compassion Friend, if you've ever struggled with being critical of yourself or others, this conversation will encourage you and point you back to the heart of God.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in sales isn't your pricing, offer, or marketing—but how you see yourself? In this episode, I share the key lessons from the first Sell With Confidence Challenge. After four days of live sales training, the women didn't leave talking about scripts or closing techniques—they left talking about leadership. They learned to overcome awkwardness in sales conversations, to stop seeing sales as pressure and start seeing it as serving others. They discovered how to communicate their value confidently and guide people to decisions that genuinely help them. Inside this episode, you'll discover: Why confidence comes from preparation, not personality The mindset shift that turns sales from “bothering” into serving Why many Christian women struggle more with permission than integrity How communication—not persuasion—is the missing link in sales Why leadership is the true skill behind successful selling How understanding buyer personalities transforms sales conversations Hear stories from women who shifted from feeling unprepared or pushy to becoming confident leaders in their sales journeys. If you've ever felt uncomfortable asking for the sale, worried about being too pushy, or heard “I need to think about it” more times than you'd like, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Confidence is built through preparation Sales is service—not pressure Communication is a leadership skill Buyers want guidance, not convincing Selling is really about leading Join the Sell With Confidence waitlist for the September 2026 cohort at: https://lindsayfletcher.co/waitlist

This is the one we saved for last. After two raw, honest, grace-filled episodes on the parts of motherhood nobody talks about — we brought the whole Women Soaring team together for this final motherhood episode. Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa. All four of us. All in. Because we believed the most honest conversation deserved the most voices around the table.In this final episode of the motherhood portion of our mini-series Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, we go straight into the question nobody wants to answer out loud: Have you ever looked at your children and felt like you had absolutely nothing left to give?And we answer it. Honestly. Without the performance. Without the pretending. Just four moms who have been in the thick of it — three kids in diapers, 5pm with nothing eaten, the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix — talking about what actually got them through.In this episode we talk about:What it actually feels like to have nothing left — and what to do in that momentThree kids in diapers, non-stop days, and the survival mode nobody prepares you forWhy "God will never give you more than you can handle" is NOT in the Bible — and what He actually does insteadElisabeth Elliott's "do the next thing" — the only strategy that works when the whole day feels impossibleThe sanctifying power of being given more than you can handleHow to rely on God's strength when your own is completely goneThe mom job description nobody signed up for — but billions of women are living every single dayFinding your community even when it doesn't look like what you expectedWhat happens when you show up anyway — and God meets you thereThe closing prayer over every mom listening who is running on empty right nowScripture anchors:Lamentations 3:22-23 — "His mercies are new every morning."2 Corinthians 12:9 — "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."This episode ends with a prayer over you. Over the mom who is barely holding on. Over the mom who hasn't eaten since breakfast. Over the mom who just needs someone to see her today. We see you. God sees you. And His mercies are new tomorrow.

Why do I keep spiraling into the same negative thoughts?Why does rest feel so hard?How do I know if a thought is from God… or fear?In today's special Q+A episode, we're diving into some of the most common mindset, emotional health, and neuroscience questions Christian women quietly wrestle with every day. We'll talk overthinking, emotional exhaustion, rumination, faith, forgiveness, and practical ways to renew your mind—one thought at a time.You are not stuck. Your brain can change. Healing is possible.

Is modesty about honoring God… or controlling women?Can you be fashionable, feminine, confident, and still modest? Does what you wear actually matter? And what do we do with all the church baggage around “causing your brother to stumble”?In this episode, we sit down with three Christian women for an honest, nuanced, and probably overdue conversation about modesty.We're talking about beauty, conviction, femininity, social media, lust, validation, and what modesty actually means from a biblical perspective.We'll talk about:Whether women are responsible for men's lustWhat modesty is actually about if it is not just “covering up”What “don't cause your brother to stumble” actually means in contextThe difference between dressing confidently and dressing for validationWhether modesty standards should change when you're marriedHow Christian women practically think through what they wearIf Christian women should dress differently online versus real lifeWhy modesty conversations almost always target women and not menThis conversation is not about hiding your body or being ashamed of beauty. It is about conviction, identity, wisdom, and honoring God without fear, shame, or performance.If modesty has ever felt confusing, controlling, legalistic, or honestly just exhausting, this episode is for you.Let's talk about it

What happens when the very things that help keep us healthy are the first things to disappear in overwhelming seasons of life? The walks. The movement. The routines. The rest. The meal planning. The consistency. In today's episode, I'm joined by Ondrea Lynn — speaker, author of Christian Women's Weight Loss Victory Plan, host of the Christian Women's Weight Loss Podcast, and a faith-based fitness and nutrition coach who has helped thousands of women transform their health from the inside out. Together, we talk about simplifying food and fitness, creating sustainable routines, stewarding our bodies well, overcoming overwhelm and inconsistency, renewing our minds through Scripture, and why caring for our health impacts every other area of our lives. This conversation felt especially timely heading into summer with all the noise online around quick fixes, workouts, diets, and pressure to completely overhaul ourselves overnight. If you've been feeling tired, discouraged, stretched thin, inconsistent, or stuck constantly trying to “get back on track,” I think this episode will really encourage you. There is a better way. A slower, steadier, God-centered approach to health and wellness. And stay until the end because Ondrea shares three powerful scriptures and a declaration that I immediately wanted to write down for myself. Praying this conversation gives you hope!

We love a good vampire yarn, or speculating about how we would react to a zombie apocalypse. Pop culture loves them too: vampires sexy, zombies scary. But what is the value in telling these kinds of stories? Is there more to it than just Hollywood trying to make more money? Dr. Amy Hughes, a theology professor, scholar, and author joins the pub table to discuss our favorite supernatural creatures and what they have to say about humanity and God. OnScript podcast, Dr. Hughes' two books: Christian Women in the Patristic World, and the just-released Gregory of Nyssa on the Resurrected Life.

In this episode, Brooke and I dive into a struggle so many Christian women share: feeling disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed in their lives, and genuinely unsure why their health is suffering. What often shows up: Constant stress and urgency Snapping at loved ones Poor health or confusing symptoms Feeling unable to slow down The root issue isn't just physical, it's a whole-person misalignment. Why "Healthy" Efforts Aren't Working So many women are trying: Diet changes Supplements Exercise plans But still feel stuck. The missing piece? The "why" behind the dysfunction. Your body responds to: Chronic stress Emotional wounds Spiritual disconnection Without addressing those, surface-level fixes just won't last. Living in Survival Mode A key theme we talk about is the nervous system. So many women are stuck in fight-or-flight, which looks like: Everything feeling urgent Inability to rest Constant distraction Burnout and irritability Your body was designed to handle stress briefly, not live in it daily. When it does, both physical and emotional health begin to decline. Emotions Are Signals Instead of suppressing emotions, Brooke reframes them as signals: Anger → often rooted in fear Anxiety → often tied to overload Irritation → unmet needs Learning to name emotions helps calm your body and understand what's really happening. Biblically, emotions aren't sinful, they're human. Even Jesus experienced deep grief and distress. The goal isn't to avoid emotion, but to remain obedient within it. Connection Before Correction This applies to both parenting and personal growth. Instead of immediately fixing behavior: Pause Attune Understand When you feel seen (and help others feel seen), real change becomes possible. Why You Feel Overwhelmed The issue often isn't effort, it's capacity. Your nervous system determines how much you can handle. If it's overwhelmed, adding more habits only makes things worse. Healing expands your capacity over time so you can handle life differently, even if your responsibilities don't change. The Work That Changes You Real transformation requires deeper work: Processing emotions Facing past wounds Letting go of control Surrendering to God It's not easy, but it leads to lasting peace and clarity. Getting Back Into Alignment So many women are living out of order: Work and responsibilities first God and self last True alignment looks like: God Family Self-care Everything else When God is first, everything else begins to fall into place. Self-Care Isn't Selfish Neglecting yourself leads to burnout and disconnection. Taking care of yourself allows you to: Show up fully for others Respond instead of react Live with more peace and joy You weren't designed to run on empty. Final Takeaway Your body, mind, and spirit are connected. Healing starts when you: Slow down Pay attention Process what's beneath the surface Reorder your life around God It's not about doing more. It's about living aligned.

What if we truly believe our contentment were not linked to our circumstances—that we really do have the ability to give thanks in all circumstances, as we're exhorted to do by Scripture?What would it change?For the Christian woman mired in bitterness and comparison, the answer just might be “everything.”In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we explore the influences in modern culture that drive Christian women to consider themselves short-changed by their husbands, their children, and, ultimately, God. Join us for a thought-provoking show sure to step on your toes a little even while it encourages you to keep your eyes squarely focused on Christ.Guest Info:Tilly DillehayBuy Tilly's Book My Dear Hemlock Here!Check Out Her Podcast Home Fires Here!Follow Tilly On Instagram!Bible References:Genesis 3:1Philippians 4:4-13Romans 7:15-20Psalm 116:151 Corinthians 10:31Philippians 2Matthew 16:24-26Genesis 1:271 Corinthians 14:33Proverbs 31Galatians 6:2Galatians 5:11 John 5:4-5Mentions:Keepers of the Home PodcastMa Ingalls ReelLinks:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Gentleness Challenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paint & Prose⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠M Is for Mama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Do you feel close to God on Sunday — but by Tuesday, you're stressed, striving, and running on empty? Watch the free workshop + grab your Path Sheet: https://kimdolanleto.com/dailywalk You're not alone. So many Christian women are doing all the "right things" — praying, showing up, bearing fruit — and still white-knuckling their way through the messy middle of the week. The peace that felt so real on Sunday disappears by Tuesday afternoon, replaced by over-functioning, overwhelm, and the quiet fear that you're failing your daily walk with God. In this episode of Living God's Way, I'm sharing the framework that changed everything for me — The 3S Daily Walk— so you can stop performing for God and start truly abiding with Him, hour by hour, all week long. In this episode, you'll learn: The Tuesday Tension: Why your Sunday inspiration isn't making it to your weekday reality — and what's actually missing. From Grit to Grace: How to stop white-knuckling your schedule, your kids, your health, and your business — and trade exhaustion for His easy yoke. The 3S Daily Walk: My proven daily framework to Seek, Surrender, and Show Up in the power of the Holy Spirit — every single day. Your Next Step: How to join my free workshop, grab your free Path Sheet, and start Living God's Way today.

In this episode, Allie reveals what she believes is the biggest threat to Christian women's theology and ministry today — not feminism, progressivism, or the New Age, but therapy culture. What many see as harmless self-help and “mental health awareness” on social media is actually flooding women's Bible studies, books, and conferences with me-centered ideas that quietly replace biblical sanctification with self-focused healing. Allie walks through three popular therapy concepts sweeping Christian circles — inner child work, shadow work, and somatic therapy — showing their New Age and Jungian roots and why they contradict Scripture. While she fully supports Christ-honoring biblical counseling, Allie warns that many therapeutic ideas that sound “almost Christian” are leading women away from the cross, self-denial, and the Holy Spirit's transforming work. Studies like the one featured in the Atlantic even show that certain therapy approaches can make mental health worse, especially among teens. True healing doesn't come from reparenting your inner child, integrating your shadow, or shaking out trauma stored in your body — it comes from the God who meets you as you are and calls you to maturity in Christ.
