Today the children of this local congregation led out in the day's program. I was privileged to be allowed to deliver God's Word to the congregation. I encouraged both children and adults to be aware of the times and to always remember that God wants to hear from them and he also wants to talk to them. I want to acknowledge the contribution of author Micah Maddox (the prayer points are her original work)
Our guest speaker from the Singing in the Rain conference, Micah Maddox, gives Inspire listeners a peek into her family’s journey in fostering and adoption. Obeying that nudge from God to be a foster family, and feeling the pull to adopt, Micah shares her experience and some advice for those who are on the same path. Listen as she chats with Shannon Mooers, giving answers to some key questions you may be asking yourself!
Untethered. Alone. Burdened. Overwhelmed. Yearning. When times get difficult, when we hit our lowest, sometimes we don't even know what to do or say. Somewhere along the way, we forget that we are not meant to carry our burdens alone. We forget that we have someone who can relieve us of our burdens. Sometimes, we lose sight of how to (re)connect with God. In this week's episode of the Purpose in Purity podcast, guest Micah Maddox and I discuss five ways in which we can experience God. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him" (James 1:5, ESV).

Sometimes we just don't want to be grateful. We want to sulk and nurse our wounds. Eeyore gets it. But genuine gratitude is not fake.

Listen in to this replay of an episode from Denise Pass and Micah Maddox as they share ten tips for gratitude in life's mundane moments.

Micah's story from abandonment into healing encourages us to look to Jesus and His Word to fill our souls and hearts. No matter what wounds and disappointments we experience, we can find our hope by hiding under the shadow of His wings.Her legacy includes living with an eternal perspective which is easy to say but takes working out on a consistent basis. Micah mentions these three contrasts that are "red flags" and remind her to go to God for her daily bread:Worrying vs PrayingBarking at the kids vs Training the kidsGriping at my husband vs Serving my husband.I think we can all relate with these three contrasts, Micah.

Micah Maddox is a national women’s conference speaker, Bible teacher, blogger, and author of Anchored In: Experience a Power-Full Life in a Problem-Filled World. She is passionate about helping women find purpose, peace, and calm in our chaotic world. As a pastor’s wife, mother of three, and foster mom, she contributes her time to her family and local church serving as a women’s ministry leader. We discuss how to prioritize and protect your spiritual health. I loved her tangible and realistic tips. As a fellow mom, I was SO thankful that she shared the grace we need to give ourselves. As women, we can tend to be so hard on ourselves, trying to keep up with checklists and to-dos rather than on being. I hope you find much freedom in Micah's words and suggestions. And also that you can remember this: practical is much more important than perfection. For all of the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."
