Podcast appearances and mentions of katie reid

Have you ever found yourself stuck in uncertainty, second-guessing your decisions, or feeling paralyzed by the pressure to choose “right”? You’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Katie M. Reid about her brand-new Bible study, God, What Do I Do?—a six-session journey through Judges 1–5. In these chapters, we see the Israelites struggling at crossroads, learning to trust God’s wisdom, and discovering how to follow His lead in uncertain times. Katie shares how these stories offer us timeless principles for decision-making today. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, a difficult dilemma, or even small daily choices, Katie’s insights will help you: Gain clarity and confidence in your decisions Find peace when God’s voice feels silent Be empowered to make godly choices—even when the stakes are high Her heart is to equip you with six simple guiding principles rooted in Scripture so you can move forward in faith, not fear. My prayer is that this episode will remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight of every decision alone. God’s wisdom is available to you, and His Spirit will faithfully guide your steps. With love,Rachael P.S. If you’re looking for a new study for yourself or your small group, I highly recommend Katie’s God, What Do I Do? You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and more confident in God’s leading.

Stephanie Rousselle welcomes back author and speaker Katie Reid. They dive into practical faith lessons rooted in Katie's Bible study, God, What Do I Do?, which explores the first five chapters of Judges—a book that surprisingly offers deep insights for navigating life's uncertainties. Transitions—graduations, moves, empty nesting—often prompt us to ask, “God, what do I do?” Katie Reid begins with the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness. Just as God's people in Scripture set up literal memorial stones to help future generations recall His mighty works, we're called to do the same in our own way. When facing the unknown, look back: Has God ever provided when you couldn't see the way forward? Remembering builds faith for the present and the future. Katie offers a practical tip: Share stories of God's provision with your family or community. This strengthens everyone's faith and creates a culture of expectation for God's continued faithfulness. A common misconception is that God's rules are restrictive. However, the Book of Judges and Katie's personal example remind us that God's guidance is meant for our protection and ultimate freedom. Just as parents warn children out of love, God sets boundaries to spare us unnecessary pain and lead us to fuller life. Katie invites us: Consider a time you resisted God's leading, only to discover later that His way was truly for your good. In Judges 1, the Israelites start out strong in obeying God, but falter when they encounter intimidating obstacles (“iron chariots”). Katie shares from her own experience—facing a daunting move to Florida without knowing all the details—that sometimes God asks us to walk forward in faith before providing the full picture. Partial obedience or giving in to intimidation can rob us of experiencing God's best. Katie suggests, Ask yourself: What are your “iron chariots”—those fears or obstacles tempting you to stop short? Where might God be inviting you to complete, not just partial, obedience? Prayer is our lifeline, especially in confusing times. The Israelites often forgot to inquire of the Lord, leading to trouble. Katie urges that “SOS prayers” (“God, help!”) are not only acceptable, but powerful. Lean into God honestly—He delights in our dependence, not our performance. So, in moments of overwhelm, pause and simply pray. No fancy words needed. Dependence is what God desires. Both obedience and disobedience set ripples in motion for generations. Testifying—sharing what God has done—points others to His ongoing goodness. Judges 5 models this with a “testimony song,” celebrating God's victories. Here's an idea: Write down or verbally share a recent “God moment” with a friend or family member. The Book of Judges isn't just a cautionary tale; it's an invitation to deeper trust and practical obedience. Remember what God has done, trust His commands, move forward in faith—even without all the answers—and don't be afraid to cry out honestly in prayer. Celebrate small wins, and share what God is doing. This is how uncertain times become seasons of spiritual growth and fresh clarity. Throughout the study, Katie invites us to apply these lessons in our transitions, decisions, and daily walk, trusting that God leads, remembers, and is always faithful. Stephanie mentions the Gospel Spice course “In the Footsteps of Jesus” which take you right into First-Century Israel to experience Jesus like never before.

A NEW BOOK DELVES INTO THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF MSG AND REVEALS HOW THIS ADDITIVE (MOSTLY PREVALENT IN PROCESSED FOODS) IS LINKED TO A PLETHORA OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING OBESITY, AUTISM AND EVEN CANCER. WE SPEAK WITH KATIE REID, BIOCHEMIST, FOUNDER OF “UNBLIND MY MIND, INC.” AND CO-AUTHOR OF: “FAT, STRESSED & SICK: MSG, PROCESSED FOOD AND AMERICA'S HEALTH CRISIS.”

Stephanie Rousselle is joined by a special guest, Katie Reid, to dive into the topic of surrendering and finding strength in God. In this episode, Katie shares her insights on surrendering to God's will and finding identity in Christ. Together, Stephanie and Katie highlight the importance of recognizing our weaknesses and relying on God's guidance. Katie candidly reflects on her own journey of understanding the surrendered life, reminding us that surrender is not a one-time event, but a continuous process. Stephanie and Katie explore the concept of being "all in" for God, irrespective of whether we are task-oriented or not. They discuss the struggle of wanting to be productive and achieve our to-do lists while staying grounded in our relationship with God. Katie's book, "Made Like Martha," offers practical wisdom on how to surrender and find peace in our busy lives. They encourage listeners to trust God and seek Him first in every aspect of their lives, using the example of Jesus' disciples who followed Him wholeheartedly. They discuss how rushing through our relationship with Jesus is like grabbing a quick meal from a drive-thru, while settling in and savoring His presence is like enjoying a slow-cooked meal with loved ones. They speak of Peter walking on water and the profound lesson it teaches about stepping out of our comfort zones with God's strength. They remind us that our value comes from God, not from our accomplishments, inspiring us to relinquish our striving and settle in the grace He freely gives. The Gospel Spice podcast, with its unique blend of biblical teachings and modern-day application, is here to help you deepen your faith and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and who we are in Him. We invite you to join us in this beautiful journey of surrender and discover the strength that comes from trusting in God completely. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS CONVERSATION Stephanie and Katie discussed the beauty of surrendering and finding our true identity in Christ. Here are three key takeaways from this inspiring conversation: 1️⃣ Seek God's guidance: Katie emphasized the importance of seeking God first and trusting His leading in our lives. It's essential to be in God's Word and surround ourselves with other believers, as it is one of the founding elements our personal relationship with Him. Quieting ourselves, praying, and journaling can all help us hear from God and untangle our thoughts. 2️⃣ Enjoy God's presence: Rather than solely seeking solutions or checking off our to-do lists, it's more important to build a relationship with God and enjoy His presence. Being "all in" for Him, regardless of our personality traits or tendencies, is crucial. Remember, just like a slow-cooked meal nourishes our bodies and souls, being with Jesus as a family member nourishes our spirits. 3️⃣ Surrender and find strength in weaknesses: Surrendering to God's control can be challenging, but it's an opportunity for growth and experiencing His goodness. We don't need to rely on our own strength or accomplishments to please Him. Instead, we can bring our weaknesses to Him, trusting that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Just like Jesus surrendered to the Father's will, we can enter into a covenant with God and let Him do the heavy lifting. BONUS! QUESTIONS TO GO DEEPER, ON YOUR OWN OR WITH A FRIEND 1. How has your understanding of surrendering to God's will evolved throughout your journey of faith? 2. What are some practical ways you can discern God's voice and guidance in your life? 3. How do you strike a balance between being a "doer" and finding your identity in Christ? 4. Have you ever struggled with feeling less spiritual because of societal pressures to be productive? How did you overcome it? 5. What areas of your life do you find it most challenging to surrender control to God? How can you invite Him into those areas more intentionally? 6. In what ways have you experienced the nourishment of a slow-cooked, intentional relationship with Jesus? How has that differed from a "drive-thru" kind of faith? 7. How can we shift our perspective from trying to impress God to simply enjoying Him and our relationship with Him? 8. What are some practical steps you can take to settle into your relationship with Jesus and savor the experience? 9. How can we find strength in surrendering to God's will and allowing Him to do the heavy lifting in our lives? 10. Reflecting on Jesus' statement "it is finished," how does it challenge your understanding of what it means to truly surrender and trust in God's all-sufficiency?

Is the climate crisis a children's rights crisis? It's a great injustice that children and young people are the most affected but least responsible for the climate and nature crises. Is there a way to give them more power to shape future decision making? Scotland and Ireland have tried to do just that, and we speak to Katie Reid and Diarmuid Torney, who have played a central role in leading children's participation in two citizens' assemblies. We also check in with young assembly members Mikey and Esther, and young assembly adviser Niamh, to hear how they found the process of being involved, and why children's assemblies could be the future of democracy.GuestsKatie Reid, Children's rights and youth participation specialist (@katiereid19)Diarmuid Torney, Associate Professor in Politics at Dublin City University and Project Lead for the Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss Niamh, young adviser at the Assembly, and Esther and Mikey, members of the Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity LossMore informationFind out more about Scotland's Children's Parliament and Climate Assembly (October 2020-March 2021)Final Report from Ireland's Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss (October 2022) including the 58 Calls to ActionLearn more about the UN's General Comment on Children's Rights and the Environment with a special focus on Climate Change Hosted on Acast.

If you love holiday movies and reading romance novels, then I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you also love reading holiday romance novels! If so, this episode is for you.   (And if you happen to love watching holiday movies but aren't as big a fan of reading romance, this episode is still for you, because we have some fun, behind-the-scenes information about how a certain holiday movie is being made.)   Today I'm joined by my friend (and friend of the show), Katie Reid. Katie is a writer, a podcast host, and a singer/songwriter—and she is the author of a holiday romance novel that, you guessed it, is being adapted into a movie! So she gives us the scoop on that, then we talk about a few other holiday romance novels you might also enjoy. It's a good time, and will almost certainly bulk up your TBR list.   Of course, because this is The Couch, where side notes and rabbit trails are always welcome, we also discuss seasonal reading, book clubs, hot drinks, and what to do when we just can't connect with a book.   Before we jump into book talk, though, let's talk girls night out. Let's talk movie watching party. Let's talk live recording of this very podcast! Yes, I'm talking about the first-ever Hooked on Holiday Movies LIVE, and yes, you should absolutely come to this event! If you live in the Kansas City area or even if you're a few hours away (I'm talking to you, Des Moines, Omaha, St. Louis, and Oklahoma City), this is the event for you. Hooked on Holiday Movies Live is going to be the most fun holiday party of the season. There's no pressure at this party—no gift exchange where you have to figure out if you're supposed to bring a real gift or a gag gift. No boss (or worse, spouse's boss) to impress, no family to deal with, and if you aren't a crafty person, no craft projects to do! (To be clear, we will have a craft project for those who are interested, but I promise it is not required. Not at all!) And we'll have lots of other fun festivities—food, drinks, trivia, giveaways, time to watch a movie together (again, if you want), and we'll finish up with a live recording of The Couch Podcast. Friends, you don't want to miss this. Go to HookedOnHolidayMovies.com to get your tickets today! And then invite a friend! It's going to be a blast!   All right, let's get to the show.   MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: A Very Bavarian Christmas (free on Kindle Unlimited right now) Most of the books on this list   NOT-SO-GUILTY PLEASURES: Hot chai latte made at home Putting down a book that I don't love   DON'T FORGET: Join The Couch on Facebook!

In October 2022, Ireland will hold a national Children and Young People's Assembly on Biodiversity Loss. Designed by and for children and young people, the Assembly will bring together 35 randomly selected Members aged 7-17 from across Ireland to explore, discuss and create recommendations on how to protect and restore biodiversity in Ireland. The Children and Young People's Assembly aims to inform the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, which is taking place over the course of this year. The Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, consisting of 99 randomly-selected adult members of the public (aged 18 and over) and an independent Chairperson, has been tasked by the Oireachtas with examining how the State can improve its response to the issue of biodiversity loss. Children and young people also have the right to have their say Biodiversity loss poses a significant threat to children's right to a healthy, safe environment. The Children and Young People's Assembly aims to ensure Ireland's youngest citizens have their say in how Ireland responds to the challenge of biodiversity loss. To make sure the Children and Young People's Assembly is designed and run in a way that works for children and young people, the project is being designed by an intergenerational team consisting of a Young Advisory Team and an independent research consortium. The Young Advisory Team comprises nine children and young people from across Ireland, aged 8-16. The research consortium includes experts in children's participation, deliberative democracy, and biodiversity from Dublin City University, University College Cork, and terre des hommes, an international organisation with a focus on children's environmental rights. Elsie, age 8, a Young Advisor from Co. Tipperary said: “I think it's important that children and young people like us can have our say because we don't usually get to be involved in things that adults do, and we have lots of interesting things to say.” As only 35 children and young people will be selected as Assembly Members as a representative sample, the Young Advisors are encouraging all children and young people aged 0-17 to submit their views and ideas throughout September on their website. Amhairghin, aged 15, Young Advisor from Co.Donegal and Co.Down explains: “It is really important that children and young people from all sorts of backgrounds get involved because diversity is the key to this process. If we don't have ideas coming from every aspect of life, we'll be stuck with a rigid, one-sided argument. It's also really important that young people deliver these arguments as we are the future. It's time that we saw the action that is needed.” Dr Diarmuid Torney, research consortium lead and an associate professor in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University, said: “Ireland has developed a strong reputation over the past decade in the inclusion of the voices of the adult population in policymaking through citizens' assemblies. Through this project, we aim to build on this reputation by creating a robust process to include the voices of children and young people in decision-making on the critical topic of biodiversity loss.” Katie Reid, research consortium member and Children's Environmental Rights and Participation Officer with terre des hommes, said: “Having supported children's participation in Scotland's Climate Assembly, the first citizens' assembly to have directly involved under 16s, I experienced how deliberative democratic processes can be enriched by taking an intergenerational approach that includes our youngest citizens' views and ideas. The power of bringing all generations together applies to our own project team – it is hugely exciting developing the Assembly with the Young Advisors who each bring something so special to this process.” Dr Clodagh Harris, research consortium member and senior lecturer in the Department of Government and Politics at University College Cork, said: “‘We do not inh...
