Why does it feel like nothing actually gets resolved even after you've calmed down?You've named the cycle. You've caught the flood before it swept you under. You've slowed down enough to see the story your brain was telling you. But there's still one more step nobody talks about — going back in. This week, Jill closes out the "Why You Keep Having the Same Fight" series with The Conversation: a simple, four-question framework for coming back to a hard conversation with clarity instead of chaos.Using Mark and Christy's story one final time, Jill walks through what it actually looks like to sit back down after a rupture — not to relitigate who was right, but to understand each other. She unpacks why "acting normal again" isn't repair, why silence lets resentment go underground, and why the goal was never a fight-free marriage in the first place. It was always this: learning how to find your way back.In This Episode:- The four questions that turn a conversation from circular to clear: What are we actually talking about? What are we trying to accomplish? What was happening in your model? What's underneath this?- Why skipping straight to the "topic" keeps you stuck in the same fight- What Mark and Christy discovered was underneath 100 different arguments about 100 different things- Why real repair is small, specific, and frequent — not one perfect conversation- The Gottman research on repair attempts and relationship stability- How to have this conversation even if you're the only one showing up for itKey Takeaways:Repair isn't the absence of conflict — it's what you do after. And you don't need your spouse, sister, or friend to be doing this work alongside you for your half of it to matter. When you change how you move in the cycle, the whole cycle has to reorganize.This episode closes out the four-part series "Why You Keep Having the Same Fight." If you're just joining, start with Episode 160 to hear the whole arc — from naming the cycle to flooding to the stories underneath to this: coming back to the table.Keywords: relationship repair, marriage conflict, Gottman method, communication in marriage, emotional flooding, Christian marriage advice, recurring conflict, nervous system and relationships FREE: The 4 Mindset Shifts for a Happier MarriageReady to stop waiting for your husband to change and start focusing on how you want to show up in your marriage?

This one's a step back to look at the big picture, because a lot of the Gen Xers I talk to are too busy living life to see it.Three things are colliding at once.Corporate is chaos. It's not your age, it's your expense. Somebody can do half your job for half the price, and that's who gets picked. Getting laid off is one thing. Getting back in is the real problem. Look around your own network if you don't believe me.The savings math. The generation before us had pensions. We got a 401k and a how-to video. Roughly half of Gen X has nothing put away, and the typical household isn't close to what 30 years actually costs.Longevity. This is the good news. If you take care of yourself there's a real chance you're looking at 30 or 40 more years, healthy and active.Put those three together and it doesn't add up.I'm not doing this to scare anybody. It's not a prediction, it's already happening. But there are two ways to react. You can treat it as a sunset and ride it out. Or you can treat it as the start of a second adult lifetime, which is the way I'm choosing to look at it.The back half of this episode is the part that matters: you already have everything you need to generate income on your own. The skills, the experience, the problem solving. What's in the way is unlearning what corporate taught you, and the fact that we make making money way more complicated than it needs to be.In this episode:Why it's your expense, not your ageThe musical chairs problem, and why the chairs aren't coming backPensions versus the 401k handoffWhat 30 or 40 more years actually costsWhy gig work is the wrong answerLow friction, high margin income, and what that actually looks likeWhy the first dollar outside corporate changes everythingTIMESTAMPS00:00 — Welcome, and why I'm zooming out this week01:20 — Naming it: Gen X has a math problem01:42 — Two ways to react: sunset, or jumpstart02:05 — Musical chairs, and why they're pulling five at a time02:25 — Part 1: It's not your age, it's your expense03:40 — Getting laid off isn't the problem.

Life can feel "griefy". You know what I mean! Some days are heavy in a way that's hard to explain — not a crisis, exactly, just "griefy". And then there are the moments a wave hits out of nowhere: a song, a habit, reaching for the phone to tell them something, or nothing you can even pinpoint.In this episode, we talk honestly about both kinds of days — the low, gray-cloud heaviness that settles in for hours, and the sudden waves that can knock you off your feet. You'll hear why grief doesn't move like a project with a finish line, and why a hard day doesn't mean you're grieving wrong.We cover practical ways to get through the heavier days: lowering the bar for what counts as "getting through it," keeping one small anchor of routine, asking for specific help instead of a vague offer, and understanding why grief shows up in your body — the exhaustion, the forgetfulness, the disrupted sleep — just as much as in your mind.Then we walk through a simple four-step practice designed for the exact moment a wave of grief hits and you feel overwhelmed:Name it, don't fight itPut your feet on the groundBreathe out longer than you breathe inLet the wave move through, then do one small next thingIt's short enough to remember in the grocery store, at your desk, or lying awake at 3 a.m. — anywhere grief catches you off guard.This episode is for anyone who's lost a spouse or partner and is looking for something steadier than "just give it time." It won't make the grief disappear, and it isn't meant to. It's meant to help you stay standing inside it — one wave, one small next step, at a time.If grief is showing up often, lasting a long time, or making it hard to function, we also talk about when it's worth bringing to a grief counselor or therapist — not because anything is wrong with you, but because what you're carrying deserves support sized to match it.

Spiritual coaches, psychics, healers, mediums, and intuitive practitioners may not think of themselves as obvious targets for sophisticated scams—but they are being targeted.In this episode of Spirit Sherpa, Kelle Sparta shares two bizarre real-life scam attempts that came directly to her and breaks down the psychological tactics that made them initially seem worth investigating.The first began with what appeared to be an extraordinarily lucrative opportunity to provide private readings for a wealthy family in Qatar. The offer involved extensive vetting, test readings, and several hours of unpaid work before the real objective appeared: an urgent demand that Kelle deposit $11,000 as a condition of securing the contract.The second scam took an even stranger approach. Someone claiming to be a "blue avian alien" working for the U.S. government told Kelle she was one of only a handful of people in the world capable of doing the work they needed. What began as an unusual employment proposition eventually turned into a request for an intimate photograph.Despite their wildly different stories, both approaches relied on recognizable manipulation tactics: extraordinary opportunities, ego-stroking, manufactured urgency, escalating commitment, and requests that crossed obvious financial or personal boundaries.For professional spiritual practitioners, discernment isn't only about evaluating intuitive information. It also matters when evaluating clients, opportunities, collaborations, and people who know exactly how to exploit the language and identity of the spiritual community.What You'll LearnHow scammers specifically target spiritual practitionersWhy unusually lucrative opportunities deserve additional scrutinyHow scammers use sunk time and effort to increase complianceWhy manufactured urgency is a major warning signHow flattery and spiritual exceptionalism can bypass discernmentWhy "you're one of the only people who can do this" should raise questionsHow scammers build credibility around an implausible storyWhy you should question requests for upfront paymentsWhy legitimate-looking online profiles aren't sufficient proof of legitimacyHow inappropriate requests can escalate after trust has been establishedWhy professional boundaries are an essential part of spiritual practiceHow to recognize when an opportunity is simply too good to be trueReferences MentionedSpiritual Practitioner ScamsPsychic Reading ScamsCoaching ScamsFinancial ScamsEmployment ScamsSocial EngineeringManufactured UrgencyFlattery and Ego ManipulationSunk-Cost PressureProfessional BoundariesPractitioner DiscernmentQatarLinkedInU.S. GovernmentChatGPTResources MentionedKelle Spartahttps://kellesparta.comQuestions for the Spirit Sherpa podcast:kelle@kellesparta.com

Why do you keep reacting the same way in conflict — even when you're trying not to?Most of the time, the fight isn't really about what it looks like on the surface. It's about the meaning you're making. When your husband says something that lands wrong, your brain moves fast — it takes his words and turns them into a story. About him. About you. About whether you're loved, seen, or alone. And that story drives everything that happens next.In this episode, Jill teaches a tool called "sitting far" — the CTFAR model — that helps you slow down and separate what actually happened from the meaning you assigned to it. You'll learn to identify the one thought underneath your reaction, trace how it created a feeling, drove your actions, and produced a result that confirmed the story you started with. Then you'll build a new, intentional model — one that opens the door to a different conversation entirely.This is part three of the series Why You Keep Having the Same Fight and sits inside the regulation phase of the Flood Plan. It's the inside work that makes going back into the hard conversation actually possible.In This Episode•How to use journaling to process what happened before you try to analyze it•What the CTFAR model is and how to walk through it step by step•Why the result of your unintentional model always loops back to prove your original thought•How to identify one thought — not five — and examine it honestly•Two directions for building an intentional model when you're not ready to think generously about your spouse•Why feeling seen by God is often the bridge between where you are and where you want to beKey Takeaways•The circumstance doesn't create your feelings — your thought about the circumstance does•You can enter the CTFAR model from the feeling, the action, or the thought — wherever you have the most clarity•Sometimes the generous thought toward your spouse is too far to reach right now, and that's okay•You can have a thought that helps you feel settled in yourself before you can have a thought that opens curiosity toward him•Regulation isn't just calming your body — it's also understanding the story you were telling when you floodedSeries NoteThis is Episode 3 of 4 in the series Why You Keep Having the Same Fight.

In this deeply honest and moving episode, I sit down with Rachel Powell — widow, remarried wife, mother of a "super blended" family, and founder of Hope Speaker — to talk about the messy, complicated, and ultimately hope-filled path she's walked since losing her husband.Rachel shares the story of meeting her late husband Andre in high school youth group, building a life together that included raising four children (three nieces and nephews plus their biological daughter), and the devastating final year of their marriage marked by addiction, undiagnosed mental health struggles, and abuse — before losing him to suicide in June 2019.She opens up candidly about the darkest chapter that followed: navigating single parenthood during the COVID pandemic, wrestling with guilt and shame, surviving two suicide attempts of her own, and the pivotal turning point that led her to prioritize her own healing. Rachel discusses:~the tools that helped her rebuild, including the Grief Recovery Method~holistic approaches to healing body, mind, and spirit~vagus nerve regulation work~her journey into remarriage — meeting her husband Mike online, navigating a cross-state relationship, and blending their families~encouragement for widows considering dating again. She closes with a powerful reminder: today's reality is not your forever reality!Rachel also speaks to the urgent, under-resourced needs of the widowed community, sharing striking statistics about how little nonprofit support exists for the 11.6 million widows in the U.S., and the work she's doing through her coaching practice and the Hope Stronghold community to change that.This episode is a raw, faith-centered conversation about grief, resilience, and finding purpose on the other side of unimaginable loss.Connect with Rachel: hopespeaker.com | hopespeaker.com/coaching The community: hopestronghold.comA note: this episode discusses suicide loss and suicidal ideation in detail.

Why do I shut down — or can't stop talking — when things get heated?You understood the conversation before it started. You knew what you wanted to say. And then something happened — your brain went offline, your words came out wrong, or nothing came out at all. You walked away wondering why you couldn't just hold it together.That's not a character flaw. That's flooding. And until you understand what it's actually doing to your body, it's almost impossible to change what happens next.In this episode, Jill breaks down the neuroscience of emotional flooding, why productive conversation becomes nearly impossible once it hits, and why it doesn't always look the way you think. The loud version is easy to spot. The quiet version — the one that looks like calm, like two people who just don't fight — that one's trickier. And just as worth paying attention to.You'll walk away understanding your own flooding signature and with a practical five-step Flood Plan you can use before your brain shuts down and your mouth takes over.In This EpisodeWhat emotional flooding is and what it does to your brain and bodyThe four flooding responses: fight, flight, freeze, and shutdownWhy the quiet version of flooding is the easiest to missHow to identify your personal flooding signatureThe five steps of the Flood PlanHow the first two steps of the FEEL method help you find and stay with emotion in real timeKey TakeawaysFlooding is physiological — once it hits, your brain literally cannot do what you're asking it to doShutdown looks like calm but it's still floodingA pause only works if both people trust you're coming backThe person who calls the timeout re-initiates — within 30 minutes to 24 hoursRegulation means feeling the emotion, not replaying the argumentSeries Note This is Episode 2 of the four-part series Why You Keep Having the Same Fight.

Why do you keep having the same argument over and over — even when you promise yourself it won't happen again?If you've ever gone to bed after a fight thinking we've been here before, this episode is for you. The topic changes — money, parenting, connection, household responsibilities — but the emotional experience feels identical every time. That's a cycle. And until you can see the cycle, you'll keep trying to solve the wrong problem.In this first episode of a four-part series, Jill Lillard breaks down what's actually happening underneath recurring conflict — and why the topic on the table is almost never the real issue. Whether your relationship looks like constant arguments or quiet distance, this episode will help you see the pattern that's been keeping you stuck.In This Episode • Why the topic is rarely the real problem in recurring conflict • The difference between the loud cycle and the quiet cycle — and why both are keeping you stuck • What pursue and withdraw actually looks like in everyday conversation • The underlying questions driving most arguments before anyone says a word • Why changing your half of the cycle is enough to shift the whole dynamic • How to identify the dance you're doing in your closest relationshipsKey Takeaways • Recurring conflict is about the cycle underneath, not the topic on the surface • Both the loud version and the quiet version of conflict are cycles worth addressing • Insight about your spouse's half of the cycle only becomes useful when it turns inward • You cannot change how someone else moves — but when you change how you move, the cycle has to reorganize • Seeing the dance is the first step to interrupting itSeries NoteThis is Episode 1 of the four-part series Why You Keep Having the Same Fight. Each episode builds on the last — covering emotional flooding, the Talk Table, and real repair after conflict.KeywordsRecurring conflict in marriage, why couples have the same fight, relationship cycles, pursue and withdraw pattern, Christian marriage podcast, emotional health in relationshipsIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

Gia was 19 when she met Jonas and she loved him almost from the start, even though fate took a few tries to bring them together. What followed was a whirlwind life: a blended family, two kids ten years apart, constant moves, and a marriage built on Jonas's fearless, say-yes-to-everything spirit. His biggest dream was returning to his native Tanzania to build a business, and after the pandemic hit, he finally got his shot — opening a boutique hotel and tour company he poured his heart into.Then, in April 2024, everything changed. Gia describes the surreal morning she couldn't reach him, the strange phone call from their housekeeper delivering the impossible news, and the disorienting hours that followed as she tried to get answers from thousands of miles away. She opens up about:~the altercation that took Jonas's life~the confusion and misinformation that clouded the early days~leaning on her widow community during the darkest moments~carrying a business she never intended to run~starting Seasons Of Life Celebrations to honor life-changing moments~the excruciating wait for legal answers that, over two years later, still aren't fully resolved~finding her footing again while still living inside the unknownIn this deeply honest conversation, Gia shares what it's like to grieve not just a husband, but the future they'd planned together — the "empty nest" chapter she never got to have. This is a story about love, sudden loss, resilience, and the long, uneven road toward healing.Find Gia at www.SeasonsOfLifeCelebrations.com.  Be sure to join our Facebook group, Widow 180 The Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312036956454927Also follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/widow_180/Check us out on YouTube at Widow 180: The Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DK_dl31qMilJ5cE6t9MVQFor more blog posts and resources go to www.widow180.comQuestions?

How do you trust God when everything in your life seems to be changing?This episode is a little different than my usual teaching episodes. Instead of continuing a series, I wanted to invite you into my own quiet time and share what the Lord has been teaching me in real time.As I was journaling through a season of transition and reading 2 Corinthians 8:1–15, one phrase kept coming back to me: “They gave themselves first to the Lord.” While Paul is writing about generosity, I realized God was using this passage to challenge the way I was holding onto familiar seasons, relationships, and expectations.If you've ever found yourself grieving a season you loved, wondering what's next, or learning to trust God in the unknown, I hope this conversation encourages you to loosen your grip and place yourself—and your future—back into God's hands.In This EpisodeWhy unexpected grief often accompanies healthy life transitionsWhat 2 Corinthians 8 taught me beyond financial generosityThe difference between holding on and trusting GodWhy familiar seasons can be difficult to releaseHow God often prepares us for what's next before He reveals what's nextOne question I've been asking myself during this seasonKey TakeawaysGrace changes more than what we give—it changes how we hold our lives.Surrender often comes before clarity.It's possible to grieve a season while still trusting God with the future.God often prepares our hearts before He changes our circumstances.Every season is an invitation to give ourselves to the Lord again.Series NoteThis is a special bonus episode outside of our regular monthly series—a personal reflection on what God has been teaching me during my own time in Scripture.KeywordsChristian podcastTrusting God in transitionChristian encouragement2 Corinthians 8Letting go and trusting GodSeasons of lifeIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this Bible Caddie Classic from Episode 138, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson sit down with YouTube golf sensation Grant Horvat. Grant is at the very top of the YouTube golf space. He talks about how he got there, what the Lord did along the way, and what it looks like to use a platform like his to live out his faith every single day.Topics covered:- Grant Horvat, the creme de la creme YouTube golf sensation, at the very top of the game- I played four years of college golf and I realized really quickly that the pro route was not what I wanted to do- It's a dream job. It doesn't get much better than going out there and filming golf videos for a living. It doesn't feel real.- Leaving Good Good was a very violent time in the YouTube golf space. I remember getting death threats and just terrible thousands of messages a day.- That's the closest I ever felt to God. It was just very late nights and the magnitude of this decision felt so big.- If you're a Christian, God is going to use whatever situation or circumstance you are in to make you more like Jesus- I remember a kid coming up to me on the range reciting everything we said in these videos word for word. And I'm thinking what about the hundreds of thousands of other kids out there absorbing this?- That was a moment where I had to be like, what is my purpose in this industry and how do I want to impact people?- The Lord was always tugging at me. I need to take this serious.- I went to chapel and then I would go out on Sunday and party. I felt like I was living two lives.- I made the decision in Dallas. I went and got baptized and I was like, I am all in.- It doesn't get easier once you make that decision. It only gets harder. It only requires more discipline.- My biggest goal with our channel is to make sure that families can sit down in their living room all together and watch the videos- Having to turn down brands that don't align with our goal is one of the hardest things- Proverbs 18:1: whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire. He breaks out against all sound judgment.- I don't talk a ton about my faith on videos but when you meet people in real life every other person wanted to talk about the faith conversation. Christians will support you really hard. They are their fans for life.- Just be a good person is something I hear a lot. But the definition of good across a thousand people changes like that. If we don't have a truth and a set of standards we are living by, what are we doing?- Jeremiah 29:11: for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope- When things are going great it is so easy to say I did this on my own. But when things are going real bad and you feel like you don't know how you are going to get out of this, that is when you lean on the Lord- What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

What do you do with the clothes still hanging in his closet? The shoes that seem to multiply the moment you try to pack them away?! In this raw, unfiltered Widow 180 roundtable, four guests — three widows and a widower — open up about one of the hardest, least-talked-about parts of loss: deciding what to do with a spouse's belongings.Lindsay Lawrence, Sarah Fox, Likisha Lefever, and psychologist Stephen Taylor share their timelines, triggers, and hard-won strategies — from turning t-shirts into memory bears, to donating shoes to strangers in need, to the surprising guilt that can surface over something as small as a comforter or an empty cologne bottle.They talk honestly about outside pressure and unsolicited opinions from family. As Lindsay puts it: "Until you are walking in my shoes, I really don't need to hear your opinion anymore." And Stephen offers a piece of wisdom that reframes the whole conversation: "If you don't do something with your grief, your grief is gonna do something to you."This episode also covers the power of pre-loss conversations, the "widow brain" phenomenon, navigating family traditions around belongings, and two simple questions to help guide any decision: Will I ever actually use this? and Where is the right place for it to go?Whether your loss was sudden or came after years of illness, this conversation offers permission to move at your own pace — because when it comes to grief, there's no right way. There's just your way.For more support and guidance in widowhood, check out the Widow 180 Workbook series at www.widow180.com/workbooksWhat stage of widowhood are you in right now? Not sure?

What do you do when anxiety takes over, and you can't stop the spiral?You know the pattern. Something happens — a shift in your body, a moment of tension in your marriage, a number in your bank account — and before you've had a single conscious thought, your mind is already assigning meaning, the shame is already rising, and you're reacting from a place you didn't choose. The spiral moves faster than your intentions do. Most of us have been trying to outrun it. This episode is about something different.The gap between trigger and reaction is small. Most of us blow right past it. But that gap is where the Spirit lives — and learning to pause there is one of the most significant things you can practice. This isn't a coping strategy. It's abiding in its most raw and necessary form.This is the final episode of the Simply Remain series, and it brings everything home. We talk about the everyday spiral and the longer dormant seasons — the empty nest, the aging parent, the chapter of life that feels unrecognizable. In all of it, the invitation is the same. Remain.In This Episode • Why the spiral is not evidence that something is wrong with you — it's an invitation to abide • The pattern behind every trigger: sensation, thought, emotion, reaction • The gap between trigger and reaction and why that's where God lives • The difference between shame that drives you deeper and the Spirit that leads you gently back • The four P's: Panic, Pause, Pray, Praise — a practice for the hardest moments • What pruning actually means and why the Father works through his Word, not the trial aloneKey Takeaways • The spiral is the curriculum — your hardest moments are where abiding becomes real • Romans 8:26 — the Spirit intercedes in your weakness. That gap is not empty • Shame drives you deeper. The Spirit leads you back. You can tell them apart by where they take you • Some seasons are longer than a spiral — dormant winters where the root is still doing its work underground • The branch that holds on in winter is the branch that flourishes in springSeries NoteThis is episode four of the Simply Remain series. Start with Episode 156 for the full arc — or listen to this one wherever you are today.Keywords • How to stop anxiety spirals as a Christian woman • Abiding in Christ when life feels hard • What to do when you feel overwhelmed and anxious • Christian women perimenopause emotional health • Remaining in God during difficult seasons • John 15 abiding in the vineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this Bible Caddie Classic from Episode 100, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson sit down with Bernhard Langer. Two Masters victories, 42 European Tour wins, 47 Champions Tour wins, six Schwab Cup titles, ten Ryder Cups, and a World Golf Hall of Famer. Bernhard shares the story of winning the 1985 Masters, the emptiness he felt that night, and how he came to faith in Christ weeks later at a Bible study led by PGA Tour chaplain Larry Moody.Topics covered:- Two Masters victories, 47 Champions Tour wins most ever, six Schwab Cup titles most ever, World Golf Hall of Famer- Don't look at leaderboards: the advice Bernhard gave Ben Crane early in his career that changed everything- Tearing his Achilles playing pickleball at 66 and winning on the Champions Tour nine months later- 18 years in a row winning on the Champions Tour which has never happened before to anybody else either- I believe God has given me this platform to be successful and I want to use it to spread the good news. That is part of what we are to do as ambassadors of Christ and I am certainly not ashamed of it- The 1991 Ryder Cup: missing the six foot putt and what his faith taught him about perspective- Larry, I have just missed a putt. It is not life and death. The only perfect person that ever lived, Jesus Christ, was crucified. So what I did was not all that bad- Winning the 1985 Masters and using the Lord's name in vain on live TV going out to 40 countries- Larry Moody and Scott Simpson got on their knees and prayed for Bernard that he would one day use the Lord's name in a different way- After winning the Masters I had this void in my heart. I had this emptiness. You are literally world number one. You have money, cars, houses, you are famous. And I had this emptiness and I had no idea why.- Bobby Clampett invited Bernhard to a Bible study and he showed up three nights after Larry Moody had prayed for him- John 3:3 and 3:5: you have to be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven- I knew I had never said the prayer where I would say Lord Jesus I acknowledge who you are, I give my life to you, I confess I am a sinner- The moment I did that the emptiness was gone. Left. And it has not returned. And this was 1985.- Winning the 1993 Masters on Easter Sunday: I am the only guy in Butler Cabin to mention Jesus twice, once in a very bad way- Money or victories are short lived. Only God can satisfy the void. Without him we are missing the biggest part.- We need to live life from an eternal perspective. Eternity is a very very long time compared to the 100 years we may live here on Earth.Follow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Do the ordinary tasks of my day actually matter to God?You're doing all of it — the meals, the laundry, the emails, the driving, the remembering. And somewhere in the middle of it a question surfaces. Does any of this actually matter? This episode is about what happens when we move through our lives productive but not present, and what abiding in the ordinary actually looks like.Through the story of Brother Lawrence and the theology of Andrew Murray's The True Vine, this episode reframes the mundane as the very place God is forming you. The laundry isn't the obstacle to your spiritual life. It is your spiritual life.In This Episode•Why productivity without presence leaves us spiritually exhausted•How Brother Lawrence practiced God's presence in unglamorous ordinary work•What Psalm 16 teaches us about security and presence in our assigned portion•How Murray reframes pruning as God's precision formation in everyday life•The three questions that help you abide in the ordinary instead of just endure itKey Takeaways•The ordinary moments of your day are not the obstacle to your spiritual life — they are your spiritual life•Abiding is a connection you maintain in the middle of the doing, not a feeling you chase•The laundry is the pruning — God is actively forming you in the mundane moments•The fruit grows while you remain connected to the vine — not when you finally finish the listSeries NoteEpisode three of the Simply Remain series, which began on episode 156.Keywords•Abiding in God in everyday life•Christian women and spiritual exhaustion•Finding God in the ordinary•Spiritual formation in daily routines•John 15 abiding and fruit•Andrew Murray The True VineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this Bible Caddie Classic from Episode 63, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson sit down with Ted Scott, one of the greatest caddies in the history of PGA Tour golf. Teddy has caddied for Bubba Watson and Scottie Scheffler. He shares what it was like on the bag for two Masters wins, what Scottie Scheffler is really like, and how faith has carried him through the toughest seasons of his life on tour.Topics covered:- Teddy Scott, one of the greatest caddies in the history of PGA Tour golf- The story of how Teddy became a caddie with 102 fever, no yardage book, and no idea what a caddie master was- World foosball champion and the Dominus pickleball paddle company: the master came to serve- What Bubba Watson said two weeks after winning the Masters a second time: what's the point?- To whom much is given, much is required: how Teddy told Bubba to use his platform for God's glory- On the bag for Scottie Scheffler at the Masters: God is in control, whatever happens his will be done- Scottie Scheffler's secret sauce: distance control, hitting the center of the face, and crazy competitive- He told me he was not a very good ball striker. After week one I was like, buddy, are you sure?- I can't imagine going through life in any aspect without having some reason behind what's going on and some hope- Romans 8:28: and we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose- God does some good to all people but he does all good to some people- To the Christian who is listening, there is never one second of your life where God is not always working for your good- The surfboard image: every single tool in my garage is abrasive, but in the end it is a beautiful work of art designed for a specific purpose- The story is not over. Just because this happened it does not mean this.- Mold grows in the dark. Get it out. Get the sunlight on it. Talk to someone. Go to the Word.- Had any condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.Follow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Send us Fan MailWhat does a 1982 fantasy movie filled with ferrets, bat-people, blue fire, and questionable leather wardrobe choices have to do with leaving teaching?Quite a lot, actually.In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa uses The Beastmaster as a surprisingly useful map for teacher career transition.Dar begins the movie believing he is on a revenge mission. His home is gone. His identity has been shattered. The people in power have caused real harm, and he has every reason to be angry.That emotional starting point may feel familiar to teachers preparing to leave the classroom.The hero's greatest strength is the very thing others see as strange. That same pattern shows up for teachers, who often minimize skills like communication, adaptability, leadership, relationship-building, and crisis management because they were treated as “just part of the job.”This episode explores:• Why your “weird” strengths may be your most valuable transferable skills • How networking is really built through trust and reputation • Why leaving teaching can feel like losing part of your identity • The difference between escaping a harmful system and building a better future • Why you are not starting over.

What does it mean to abide in God when your quiet time feels empty and your spiritual life feels flat?You've been showing up — reading your Bible, praying, doing all the things — and something still feels off. This episode is about what's actually happening when that occurs. Not what you're doing wrong. What's actually going on. We go deep into John 15 to unpack what Jesus actually meant when he said remain in me — why the fruit that grows from genuine abiding was never meant to just feed you, and what it looks like to stay when everything in you wants to fix the flatness or conclude that God is gone.Abiding is not a feeling you achieve. It's a posture you return to.In This Episode•Why doing all the right spiritual things can still leave you feeling completely disconnected•What John 15 actually says about dependence, pruning, joy, and friendship with God•Why reading God's word alone doesn't produce transformation — and what has to be added•How the fruit of abiding flows outward and feeds others not just yourself•Why hormonal shifts can affect your spiritual life in ways nobody warned you aboutKey Takeaways•Chase the feeling and you end up performing. Stay in the posture and the fruit takes care of itself•The Word has to abide in you — not just pass through you•Grace positions you in the vine. Faith keeps you there. The fruit grows as the overflow of both•The flatness in your quiet time might be the Father pruning — not evidence that something is wrong•The fruit you bear isn't yours. It's Christ's life flowing through a branch that stayed connectedSeries NoteEpisode two of the Simply Remain series.

Are you exhausted from chasing outcomes that never quite deliver the peace you're after?Underneath every goal is a feeling — security, love, peace, worthiness. And that feeling is already available to you through abiding in Christ, not through achieving. In this episode Jill opens a new series called Simply Remain, anchored in John 15 and Andrew Murray's The True Vine. She names the works of the flesh we don't recognize because they look like diligence, introduces the idea of hard moments as portals into faith rather than detours around it, and shows what remaining actually looks like in a real moment of grief and loneliness.In This Episode•Why the fruit of the Spirit is not a to-do list•How to trace any outcome back to the feeling underneath it•The works of the flesh that look like virtue but quietly deplete you•What remaining in Christ looks like in a real hard moment•Why your hardest circumstances are doorways into abidingKey Takeaways•You're chasing the feeling underneath the outcome — and it's already available through abiding•The branch has one job: to stay•Striving and controlling are works of the flesh — they never deliver what they promise•Your hard moments are portals, not interruptionsSeries NoteEpisode 1 of the Simply Remain series, based on John 15 and Andrew Murray's The True Vine.Keywords•Abiding in Christ•John 15 vine and branches•Fruit of the Spirit•Christian podcast for women•Overcoming striving and perfectionism•Spiritual growth for womenIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

Losing a spouse doesn't just take your partner - it can take your identity, too. In this deeply honest post-interview chat, guest Priya opens up about what it really means to rebuild your life as a widowed mom: the loneliness of making every decision alone, the guilt of not being the same parent you used to be, and the quiet grief of watching your kids adjust to a version of you that's stretched between every role as mom, dad, caregiver, provider.Priya shares how her work and her children became her anchors when everything else felt uncertain, why surrounding yourself with positive people is non-negotiable after loss, and the moment her own daughter told her therapist that losing her mom's old self was harder than losing her dad. It's a raw look at self-doubt, resilience, and learning to trust yourself again when the person you used to lean on is gone.If you're a widow struggling with identity loss, solo parenting, or rebuilding confidence after the death of a spouse, this episode will remind you that you're not alone — and that you already know how to make the right decisions for your family.In this episode:Why losing a spouse means losing your built-in "sounding board"How grief changes your identity as a parentLearning to trust your own decisions againWhy your social circle often shifts after loss  and why that's okay!What kids really feel when a widowed parent changesWhere are you on this widow journey?

How do I stop letting church hurt define me?You've probably spent a lot of time thinking about what happened. Who was wrong. What should have been done differently. And honestly, you're probably right about most of it. But here's the question that doesn't get asked enough: what is the experience forming in you? Not just what happened — but who are you becoming while you're processing it?In this final episode of the church hurt series, Jill walks through the story of Absalom from 2 Samuel 13 — a man who witnessed a serious injustice, watched it go unaddressed, and carried it in silence for two years. What happened next is one of the most sobering pictures in Scripture of what unprocessed pain can do in a person's life. Not because he was wrong about what happened. But because being right didn't protect him.This episode isn't about minimizing what was done to you or rushing to forgiveness before you're ready. It's about keeping your eyes on Jesus in the middle of it — doing what's yours to do, releasing what isn't, and trusting God with the rest.In This Episode•Why being right about what happened doesn't automatically protect you from what carrying it does to you over time•The story of Absalom, Tamar, and David from 2 Samuel 13 — and what it shows us about unprocessed pain•The difference between processing your hurt and just circulating it•Why stuffing it down doesn't work — and what to do instead•How to identify what's actually yours to do and how to surrender the rest to the Lord•Practical steps for moving forward without losing Jesus in the processKey Takeaways•Seeing something clearly doesn't make you free of it — freedom requires bringing it to the Lord•Silence is not neutral. What you carry without addressing will eventually move in a direction you didn't choose•There's a difference between processing pain and recycling it — and one leads somewhere, the other doesn't•You can do what's yours to do and trust God with the outcome, even when the outcome isn't what you wanted•The goal isn't to minimize what happened — it's to make sure your heart doesn't become the bigger problemSeries Note:This is episode 4 of a 4-part series on church hurt.

Have you ever left a church situation feeling like you couldn't quite shake it — even after time passed?In this episode, Jill sits down with a panel of three women who have all experienced some form of church hurt. But this conversation isn't about who was right or wrong. It's about what was happening inside them — the grief, the rejection, the slow shift from hurt to resentment — and what it actually took to process it without becoming someone they didn't want to be.These women are honest. One stayed at her church. One left. One was in leadership when everything fell apart. Their stories are different, but the inner work they each had to do looks more similar than you'd expect. If you've ever sat in a church pew watching someone through narrowed eyes, replaying a conversation you can't let go of, or felt like you left a church but carried it with you anyway — this episode is for you.In This Episode • What it looks like when hurt quietly shifts into seeing someone as an adversary • How three women processed church hurt in very different circumstances • Why staying and leaving can both leave things unresolved • What it means to reconcile your own heart when the other party won't • The role of community, counseling, and intentional inner work in healing • How church hurt can shape the way you trust, lead, and show up — without you realizing itKey Takeaways • You can leave a church without leaving the experience — healing requires intentional work either way • Forgiveness is a choice that doesn't require an apology to begin • The question isn't just what happened to you, but who you're becoming as a result • Processing hurt in community — not alone — makes a real difference • The pain doesn't have to write your story; God can redeem it if you let himSeries Note: This is part 3 of the Church Hurt series. Next week, the series closes with a look at the story of David and Absalom — and what it reveals about what happens when pain goes unprocessed.Keywords: church hurt healing, Christian women podcast, processing church trauma, forgiveness in the church, emotional health faith, leaving a church, church conflict recovery CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.  Come by yourself or register with the women in your world. Discover ways to work with me at www.thehappiestlives.com or www.myhappyvault.comQuestions?

Have you ever been in a church situation where something felt off, raised it, and had it go nowhere — and now you're trying to understand why?You can't have an honest conversation about church hurt without looking at leadership. The structure around leaders and the humanity inside them shapes everything. In this episode Jill starts with something that sounds obvious but rarely gets said honestly — pastors are human. Fully, vulnerably human. And when that reality doesn't have the right support around it, things drift. Slowly. In ways nobody sees coming.Jill walks through what church structure was actually designed to look like, what Scripture says about accountability in leadership, and what the story of Saul teaches us about how good people with real callings end up somewhere nobody intended.In This Episode•Why leadership is lonely in ways most congregations never see•What the New Testament actually says about church structure and accountability•How gradual drift happens — and why it's harder to catch than outright failure•Why the contrast between Saul and David is the most important part of the story•What “if you don't choose humility you will be humbled” looks like in real lifeKey Takeaways•The structure around a leader exists to protect them — not limit them•Drift looks like a series of small reasonable decisions until suddenly it doesn't•Scripture cares more about what happens after failure than whether failure happened•Anointed doesn't mean infallibleSeries NotePart 2 of the Church Hurt series.Keywordschurch hurt, pastor leadership, church accountability, spiritual drift, toxic church, Christian leadership CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.  Come by yourself or register with the women in your world. Discover ways to work with me at www.thehappiestlives.com or www.myhappyvault.comQuestions?

"When should I take off my wedding ring?"Most widows face this question at some point after loss.In this second roundtable discussion episode of Widow 180, three widows—Melissa, Tracy, and Danette—join the conversation to discuss the deeply personal decision of taking off a wedding ring after loss. They each share their unique experiences: from moving their rings to different hands, repurposing them into new jewelry, keeping them as special keepsakes for family, to deciding when and how to take this significant step. The discussion delves into feelings of guilt, societal expectations, handling others' opinions, and the importance of doing what feels right for each individual. Whether you're wrestling with this decision yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers comfort, understanding, and practical ideas for navigating the path forward!
