On today's edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh interviews author Sara Hagerty about her recent book, The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries. Sara shares how the limitations that we often see as obstacles in our life can be used by God to develop greater intimacy with Him. 2 Corinthians 12:9, But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29

In this episode, Brian Delamont returns to the podcast to talk with Keane and Heather about Romans 12:2 — what it means to be transformed by renewal of our minds, rather than being conformed by the world. Romans 12:1-2 “God is the master designer of all transformation. Since He created humanity in His image, He has the most precise and the most boundless understanding of what we can become in His design.” 1 Peter 1:14 “It's a moment by moment discipline to think and live in the Holy Spirit's path for us.” “This is what He intends for us – not to be squeezed into something we're not, but rather to have every aspect of our lives be everything He knows it can be.” “metamorphoo” - Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Matthew 17:2, Mark 9:2 “The glory God has for us is revealed as we do the things our Father does and live the lives He intends for us to live. Our transformation shatters the power the mold of conforming wants to put on us and reveals more and more of the glory of God in our lives and in our world.” Vision (the desired outcome), Intention (deciding to do it), Means (the way or ways to achieve the desired outcome) Titus 3:5 “Transformation challenges all of how I live as a human, and for renewal to happen I need to make a commitment to transformation.” “Changed thinking both comes from and results in a changed brain - literally, a renewed mind.” October Reflection:  What is your vision? (Do you genuinely want to be transformed?)  What is your intention? (You must decide to change.)  What is your means? (What action steps will you take to move towards the change God has for you?) What's changing our lives: Keane: A crawling baby Heather: The Gift of Limitations by Sara Hagerty and the boundary lines falling for us in pleasant places (Psalm 16) Brian: Stretching his skills as a musician Weekly Spotlight: Ukarumpa International School We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/ 

“Uncorking my thoughts and naming them gives me the ability to receive.” Sara Hagerty, The Gift of Limitations   Are you struggling because of some limit your facing right now? What does life look like for you when you find yourself bound by some kind of limitation? I can tell you that for me, I'm often not proud in hindsight about how well I've handled said limitation. I constantly need reminding that God is at work and that my limitations don't limit Him from accomplishing what He has planned to do. I get so forgetful! Today I'll share some of the places in my own life that feel like they could leave me hopeless, and I'll also share some of the ways I'm practicing some rhythms that are more helpful than the run of the mill, anger, frustration or pit of despair, that feels most familiar.

We all have limitations, don't we? Whether we recognize them or not, they exist and can lead to frustration as we try to meet our goals, chase our dreams, or simply get through the day. It would be so much better if those limits weren't there at all, right? But what if those areas of your life you resent the most—the places where you feel the most overextended—are actually the doorways to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift? Well today, you'll hear from writer, speaker, and mother of seven Sara Hagerty who knows the constraints of limitations. Yet she has also seen how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we'd never experience otherwise. Sara will help you identify your limitations, know when to embrace them and when to challenge them, and all the while, experience God's strength in your weakness.

What do we do with all of our limitations? How do we begin to reframe the limits of our bodies and our lives in a way that allows God to use the boundary lines He has placed around us? For speaker, author and mom of seven, Sara Hagerty, it was the many limits of her journey with infertility, motherhood, walking her kids through their own pain and grief after adoption, and the daily reminders of her finite ability to deal with all the challenges she was facing that led her to look at what God may be doing in her limitations. In her latest book, The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries, Sara explores how our limits may actually be the grace of God rather than a withholding of something better. In this insightful conversation, Davey and Sara talk about what God may be doing in our limitations, how we can find the beauty in the small, and the power of naming our limits. If you've ever found yourself discouraged by the very things that reveal your humanity, this episode will encourage you to reframe the way you see the boundaries in your life and find beauty in the gift of your God-given limitations.   Website: www.SaraHagerty.net Instagram: www.instagram.com/SaraHagertyWrites Book: The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries https://a.co/d/jj81y96 Be a part of launching the Nothing is Wasted Book into the world by joining us on Thursday, August 1 in Indiana.

Do you feel as if you are always measuring yourself as a mom? Do you feel like the pressure to keep up with moms around you is overwhelming? Do you feel snappy or resentful at your kids and husband? Today, author Sara Hagerty joins me to talk about her new book, The Gift Of Limitations. She is a wife and mom of seven with four adopted kids. Sara shares how we often find ourselves daydreaming about other seasons and how to recognize our limits and give ourselves grace without shame and complaining. When we name our limits we can actually grieve them and let God give us the story He is intricately weaving for our families. Society tells us we can be limitless, we can optimize everything, but Sara reminds us that the limits and plot twists in our life are all from a good Father who is at work in our stories.  Connect with Sara Hagerty:  Website:   Sara Hagerty Facebook: Sara Hagerty Instagram:  Sara Hagerty (@sarahagertywrites) Links Mentioned:   The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries: by Sara Hagerty Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things: by Sara Hagerty Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed: by Sara Hagerty Related Episodes: When You Feel Unseen :: Sara Hagerty [Ep 175] Every Bitter Thing is Sweet :: Sara Hagerty [Ep 143] Help When You Feel Weak :: Lisa Whittle [Ep 170] Featured Sponsors:  BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Have you ever felt stretched to your limits or frustrated by your limits? Maybe you really wish they didn't exist or you could make them magically go away! If you find yourself there, today's episode is for you!   I am joined today by Sara Hagerty. Sara is a bestselling author, speaker, wife and homeschooling mother of 7 - four adopted from Africa and three through surprise miracle pregnancies.   Sara says she “has found significance of words whispered in hidden places as conversation with God and worship to God as well as written in tearful honesty and shared with her readers”. She has walked through hard seasons of infertility and faced significant health struggles which have revealed her physical and mental limitations, opening the door for the Lord to meet her there with tenderness, compassion and His strengths.   Today, we discuss her newest book, The Gift Of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries, and talk through questions like “What if your greatest weaknesses - the areas of your life you resent the most, the places where you feel the most overextended and unfulfilled - are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? “ What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?” Sara has seen, firsthand, how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we would never experience otherwise. So grab a notebook & pen (you'll definitely want to jot these practical truths down) and join me as we learn to name our limitations and see them as beautiful weaknesses drawing us closer to the Lord, slowing down the cadence of life and ultimately creating a heart that is truly at rest in the Father.   For more information on Sara and her books, please visit https://sarahagerty.net/

Stasi welcomes back writer, speaker, wife, and mother Sara Hagerty to discuss her new book, The Gift of Limitations. Sara writes, “What if your greatest weaknesses, the areas of your life you resent the most…are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?” With vulnerability and wisdom, Sara encourages us to name the limitations we face, so we can both grieve them and surrender them to God. From there, we can lean into the love of God knowing he is already moving in our lives, rest in the goodness of his plan, and uncover a deeper capacity for joy.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) — Don't be afraid, for I am with you.

Yet she has also seen how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we'd never experience otherwise. Join Sara and I as we talk about: How our limitations can be blessings Identifying and grieving our limitations How to surrender to our limitations in a healthy way The effects of social media on our emotional health How to live in the boundaries God has given us in a healthy way Favorite quotes:  7:10: “Comparison puts us constantly noticing our limitations against someone else who doesn't have them.”   8:39: “There are all different flavors that women experience, but the reality is every day we wake up to our limitations.” 11:03: “We often don't actually name our limitations, so there is an ache underneath our limits that needs to be grieved with God. But we live at such a surface level where we don't name our limits, so we can't grieve them. “ 14:11: “There is something significant about noticing ourselves because then we can actually have something we can bring to God.”  23:29: “The “sigh of life” is surrender and a sigh that comes after the grief of our limitations.” Coaching this week:  How to Deal with Toxic People (29:21 Audio) Links to great things we discussed:  Sara Hagerty Website Sara Hagerty  Instagram The Gift of Limitations Hereos - Ben Rector A Hidden Life Toups & Co.

There's a lot of talk about being limitless, but the truth is, we are limited creatures. We've got too much laundry, too many bills, too many responsibilities, and too little strength.

For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that's something that doesn't fit what you're looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Renee Benes or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don't want to miss!"It might be ugly, but that closer look allows us to recognize and name our challenges, and that is the first step towards freedom." Most of us struggle to admit we have limitations, let alone actually rejoicing in them; however, my guest today, author, Sara Hagerty has learned how to better recognize (and accept) her boundaries and limitations. In today's conversation, we explore how idealism, while often celebrated, can impede personal growth, fostering dissatisfaction and burnout. We also discuss how grieving the loss of certain expectations and embracing our limits can ultimately lead to greater contentment and peace.------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + PostpartumSubstack: Minimalist Moms PodcastConnect with Sara:Book: The Gift of Limitations by Sara HagertyWebsiteInstagramEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

So many messages, particularly those heard in leadership circles, urge us to move past our limits. No pain no gain. This message is loud and clear at the gym, and some of us even hear it at church. Sometimes it's subtle. Sometimes it's in your face. “See what you're made of!”    Don't get us wrong, we love a good challenge, but we also believe many of us have a false view of our actual capacities. The pace of our lives says something. At times we might find ourselves feeling like it's all too much. Too much laundry and too many bills. Too many appointments, meetings, and responsibilities. Too many open tabs on our browser. We go to bed exhausted, too tired to enjoy a few minutes with our own thoughts.    What if learning to accept our human limits allows us to fully reach our potential? In our work, especially with our Wholehearted Leadership Cohorts, we often say, “Wholehearted leaders learn to love their limits.” We explore this idea of limits, accepting our circumstances and fences that appear in our lives, with our guest, Sara Hagerty. As a driver and leader herself, she has experienced infertility, illness, loss and much more.    Sara Hagerty is a bestselling author and Jesus follower. She is the wife and mother of seven – four adopted from Africa and three through miracle pregnancies. Her first book, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet (2014), ponders the conflict inherent when life's expectations do not meet up with reality. Her latest book, The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries (March 2024), illustrates how our greatest weaknesses are the doorway to rich intimacy with God.

Author Sara Hagerty joins Stasi on this week's podcast to share what she has learned of the intimate and kind way God becomes our strength in our weakness—in the midst of crisis, heartache, grief, even the mundane. God especially loves to meet us in the hiddenness of our everyday moments, because his best work is within us, in the secret depths of our hearts. To adore Jesus in the midst of the hard and the challenging as well as the soaring and serene, Sara has learned, is the key to truly experiencing his boundless love, his immeasurable strength.SHOW NOTES:Sara Hagerty Bio:Sara is a wife to Nate and a mother of seven whose arms stretched wide across the expanse between the United States and Africa. After almost a decade of Christian life she was introduced to pain and perplexity and, ultimately, intimacy with Jesus. God met her and moved her when life stopped working for her. And out of the overflow of this perplexity, came her writing, both on her blog and in her books: Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet  Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to be Noticed ADORE: A Simple Practice for Experiencing God in the Middle Minutes of Your Day Sara writes regularly here: https://sarahagerty.substack.com/archiveVerses: Matthew 6:6-8 (NIV) — But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.James 1:2-4 (NIV) — Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.John 16:33 (NIV) — I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.Psalm 29:3 (NIV) — The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

We live at a time where everyone strives to be seen, celebrated, and productive. Yet what if being hidden in a world where everyone else fights to be noticed is actually...a gift? Sara Hagerty, the author of Unseen, joins Sam and Blaine to discuss her journey from burn-out to being fully present—and what shifted when she finally slowed down to focus on the unnoticed areas of her life.

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, we’re talking with Sara Hagerty, author of the book “Adore: A Simple Practice for Experiencing God in the Middle Minutes of Your Day”. Sara Hagerty is a lover of God, a wife to Nate, and a mother of seven—four adopted from Africa and three through miracle pregnancies. She’s also a bestselling author and speaker. As a lifelong admirer of words, Sara has experienced their power to revive. Raw words written in tearful honesty and shared with her readers. Words whispered in hidden places as conversation with God and worship to Him. Today Sara’s words offer God’s hope to readers facing unexpected life circumstances. We’re talking about: Sara started practicing adoration at a weak point of her life and found herself getting healed by it. “Adoration is talking to God from a raw place...Adoration is just talking to God in the middle of your day.” Romans 12:2, NIV: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Sara found that she couldn’t just stop thinking the bad thoughts that came through her mind all the time, but if she prayed on God’s word it would slowly replace those thoughts. “The more that I put His words in my mouth the more that my thoughts get changed.” 2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” God’s pace for our lives might look dramatically different than our own pace.

It can be so gratifying to look at yourself/family/spouse through God’s eyes. But the truth is, it’s really hard to let go of what you’ve envisioned for your life. Sara talks with us about the huge shift she has seen over the past few years while focusing on adoration and aligning herself with the Word.  We talk a lot about idealism and perfectionism in this one which is something that I really struggle with. What’s the difference between the two, and what’s the big deal?   Sara Hagerty is a lover of God, a wife to Nate, and a mother of seven-four adopted from Africa and then more through miracle pregnancies.

Adore with Sara Hagerty I haven’t always felt like I was loved. I’m sure you can relate. Not knowing my biological dad until I was an adult, I always felt this inner sense of abandonment. Then, during my “lovely” teen years, I was abandoned by numerous boyfriends, too. I’m so thankful that at age 17,... [Continue Reading] The post Walk it Out #111: Adore with Sara Hagerty appeared first on Tricia Goyer.

In the heaviness of this moment in history may we never be the same....may real and lasting change finally happen in our country and our world but most important, in our hearts. Yet for lasting change, we must ultimately look to God. We must work to mend this, but we can’t do this without the Mender. Today, the lovely Sara Hagerty and I will come around the theme of adoration, which can look like us looking to God—right in the middle of the heaviness—and even in the middle minutes of our day in a way that redirects our hearts and postures us to live from Him again. I’ll talk to you soon! If you want to know learn more about The Life You Long For book - check out www.thelifeyoulongforbook.com. - Christy

I gathered my fifteen years like a stack of files and foisted them on the one who’d been watchful, in exchange for a notepad we would fill with our adventures together.At fifteen, surrendering my whole life and my whole heart meant the big picture, not the minutiae. After all, I could remember only four or maybe five of those fifteen years.I imagined that Christianity was lived in broad strokes—as a highlight reel.Minutes were what happened in between."

Sara Hagerty recalls a time when she really struggled with life and how she grew closer to God through that. Listen to the full program here.

Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health, gives an update on the coronavirus pandemic. Then, offering encouragement found in her book Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to be Noticed, Sara Hagerty describes how we can experience God in ordinary, everday moments, and how we can find our identity in Him apart from what we do.

If you feel as if your emotions are wildly swinging during this unsettling time of the Corona Virus, you are not alone. Many report feeling a paralyzing fear one moment, anger and frustration the next, then an unexplainable feeling of gratitude and peace. Does it feel like whiplash sometimes? It does to us. Sara Hagerty, well known author and speaker, assures us that this is not only normal, but necessary as we learn how to authentically name our feelings and take them to God. If you have struggled though sheltering in place, and have wondered what to do with all of your emotions, especially in light of your faith, this podcast will help.

There are times we just don’t know what to say to God. Times when our emotions are lit and we might not even want to talk to Him. Sara Hagerty joins me for a rich conversation about a simple practice of adoration that will help you experience God in the thick of life’s demands. www.PsalmAdventure.com Episode show notes: www.gwensmith.net/graceologie/96 Graceologie on INSTA: @graceologie Graceologie on FB: www.facebook.com/graceologie Gwen Smith on INSTA: @GwenSmithMusic Gwen Smith on FB: www.facebook.com/GwenSmithMusic

Do the circumstances in your life ever make it feel like God is far away? Perhaps it seems that your time with Him feels more like a routine or task rather than a longing or desire. If this sounds all too familiar, rest assured that this episode is here to speak to your heart and encourage you even in seasons of hardship. In this episode, Mary chats candidly with author, wife, and mom of 7 - Sara Hagerty - as the two talk about Sara's new book ADORE and dig deep about the practice of experiencing God in the ‘middle minutes' of your day.

After listening, you'll learn how adoration will improve your perspective, how to go about developing a daily practice of adoration, and what it looks like to choose trust and praise even in the midst of life's toughest moments. If your life is in need of a ‘system interrupt' and a reminder that God draws near to the brokenhearted, tune into this episode.   Check out Sara's book on preorder now!  https://www.amazon.com/Adore-Simple-Practice-Experiencing-Minutes/dp/0310357004

Sara Hagerty

How do you avoid losing hope? For better or worse, it's an everyday question. Answer? It may mean doing the hard thing, which is adoring God in the middle of the mess. Problem is, you can't adore a God you don't know or allow to know you. We sat down with Sara Hagerty to talk about her counterintuitive book, Adore. It's about what happens when we expose our interior life go God, create an evidence list with the attributes of God, and allow the landscape of our minds to be reclaimed by what's true. Adore is the place where the grit of your day collides with the beauty of God's presence.

In this episode, Sara Hagerty explores why and how so many of us make productivity the measure of our lives. She shares what it has looked like for her to shift subtly to focus on growing down first…ultimately finding that this may be the only path to producing fruit that will last.

Sara Hagerty is the author of Every Bitter Thing is Sweet and Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to be Noticed, a wife to Nate, and a mother of six, including four children adopted from Africa, one toddler who’s found his voice amid them all, and a wee-babe. After almost a decade of Christian life, she was introduced to pain and perplexity and, ultimately, intimacy with Jesus. God met her and moved her when life stopped working for her. His Word and His whisper took on new shape and form to her in the dark. Sara writes regularly about life delays, finding God in the unlikely, motherhood, marriage, and adoption...you can find her info HERE.

Carpool Diem with best-selling author Sara Hagerty chats about her new book (Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed) and that for which every heart longs: to be seen, known and understood. "We often feel guilt over our desire to be seen, so we suppress it. But, we were made to be seen," Sara shares. "We have connection and friendships, but there's still a deep knowing that can only come from God."

We recorded a conversation on the road, in Dallas, which made for a very relaxed and fun conversation.

Sara Hagerty is the author of Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed, and together with Blaine and Sam she talks about her journey with the church, burnout, discovering God in new ways, her lessons as a mother, and how choosing to tend to the unnoticed places in our lives can be the most rewarding.

In a world where bigger, louder, and more seems to be the goal, Sara Haggerty is on a quest to find the quiet, unseen places. Or more specifically, to meet God in those places. It's hard to do when you have a house full of children. And yet even when we are surrounded by people we can feel unseen. It's these moments of feeling misunderstood, invisible or overlooked that we can find God has not forgotten about us. This interview is in a word: delightful. Sarah's humor, combined with her earnest pursuit of God's purposes for her, are both endearing and inspiring. She shares about feeling invisible along her journey of infertility, her adoption story, and then surprise pregnancy process, and her new book Unseen. A beautiful reminder that God knows us and is with us when it feels the world has forgotten our pain. You won't want to miss this sister interview. It is both practical and inspirational, just how we like to do it here at the sisterhood. And don't forget to find Sarah's newest book.

Sara Hagerty is a wife, mother and writer - in that order. Like many of us, she grew up dreaming of being a mom. But after having her heart broken again and again by negative pregnancy tests, she accepted that God's path for her life didn't look much like what she had envisioned. Sara and her husband are now the adoptive parents of four African children, as well as two biological children. Her journey has lead her not only to the family God has designed for her, but into a closer relationship with Him and a search to see herself through His eyes. What we chat about: How social media feeds into our innate need to be seen and validated Finding value in the mundane moments of your life The importance of being vulnerable with God What God truly thinks about us and why we have such a hard time believing it Using brokenness as an antidote to shame Practical ways to create margin time with your family Links mentioned: Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things Baron Fig - Confidant Book Darts Where to find Sara: website // twitter // facebook // instagram // pinterest Episode Sponsor: New Eve Jewelry New Eve Jewelry got its name from Eve in the Bible – God’s first woman. She gets a bad rap, but the truth is that God redeemed her, sending Jesus to bear the punishment for her rebellion. From the moment Eve ran back to God, He made her new. Each piece of New Eve Jewelry, handcrafted with repurposed materials and semiprecious gemstones, serves as a reminder of this. No matter what we’ve done or what our circumstances look like, rich new life can always be found in Jesus. Support the show: Shop Amazon Affiliate Link Share the Struggle!

Today, Sara Hagerty joins me for The Happy Hour #155. Sara is wife to her best friend Nate, and a mother of six, including four children adopted from Africa and two through natural childbirth. Her first published book, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet, found her a worldwide audience, drawn to the authentic voice heard in her emotive and Scripturally-based writing style, as she searches to find God in the midst of questions and brokenness. Her second book, Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to be Noticed, comes out next week. In today's show, Sara and I chat about how God built their family after a long journey of infertility. She shares how that and other pieces of her story left her feeling alone and how that became the impetus for her new book, Unseen. Sara talks about her fight to believe that God sees her, understands her, knows her, hasn't forgotten her - and how that truth is better than being seen by anyone else. Sara's newest book is available to pre-order today. Make sure you grab a copy here.

Life seems to be a series of highs and lows. If my happiness depends on the circumstances around me, I’m in for quite the roller coaster ride. Even this past week we received heartbreaking news about my mom’s health. BUT God has been faithful and present and steadfast to show up in the details. Including the timing of this interview. . . Sara Hagerty’s book “Every Bitter Thing is Sweet” released in October 2014. I started reading it in May 2015 when my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. Her words soothed my aching heart. Her honesty about her dad’s cancer diagnosis and God’s faithfulness through it brought me peace. Then the day after we got my mom’s diagnosis I’m on Skype interviewing Sara. Well, first she and I cried and prayed together. . .then we recorded this interview. Like I said, God is in the details. Sara knows the struggle to believe God is good when life doesn’t turn out the way you’d hope. From marriage struggles, financial insecurity, parent illness, infertility exhaustion, etc, Sara discovered her only place of true security came when she prayed back God’s Word back to Him in adoration. One day while sitting in her kitchen, utterly exhausted by life, God gave her these words: The satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to the hungry soul,  every bitter thing is sweet. (Proverbs 27:7) Thanksgiving week is full of remembering all that God has done for us. Who couldn’t use an extra heaping helping of gratitude these days? Sara reminding us about adoration, takes gratitude and turns it towards who God is. Praising Him not for what He has done for me, but who He promises to be. Which then shifts my heart to believe He is who He says He is. In control. Almighty. Beginning and End. Lover of our souls. Binder of the brokenhearted. If you need to hear a word of encouragement and be reminded of who God is and why He can be trusted, then this episode is for you, sweet sister. Happy Thanksgiving! What we chat about: Discovering life with God is often NOT like a treadmill, always gaining speed and strength God’s revelations to Sara through the pain of infertility and marriage struggles Facing bitterness and the nagging feeling “God is good, he’s just not good to me.” Recognizing the hunger that lies beneath bitterness; God’s “divine alluring” Intentionally seeking God in the places your heart comes alive Adoration as a spiritual discipline: speaking scriptures (even the hard ones) back to Him Honesty with God on areas you struggle to believe instead of just splashing some “Jesus juice” on it How God sees all of the “hidden parts of life” of moms that often feel unnoticed Vulnerability not for it’s own sake but with the intention of God’s restoration How God not only restored Sara’s marriage, but how He used the hard times to bring more to it than she thought possible Links Mentioned: EveryBitterThingisSweet.com SaraHagertyAuthor.com “Every Bitter Thing is Sweet” book ** Psalm 139 2 Corinthians 12:9–Our weakness is the place where God moves. **Amazon affiliate link

This is going to be another deep dive into the world of brewing malts. We previously chatted with a micro maltster, Troubadour, in Fort Collins. That gave us some insight into the niche world of specialty craft malts. But today's guest covers a much wider spread.  She’s Sara Hagerty of Malteurop's U.S. division. She has an incredible technical background in biology, chemistry, yeast, and now, malt sales. It’s an interesting role, working across so many different kinds of breweries in a large region of the U.S., trying to meet their needs with barley malt. And in her time with Malteurop, she’s seen the company adapt to fit the rapidly changing needs of craft brewers after so many years of providing for the largest brewers in the world. It’s quite a different beast.  I met Sara at the Hopleaf recently, and within minutes of talking about her job, I knew, or at least hoped, that we’d get her in to the studio for a podcast interview so that I could share her insight and experience with you all. Thankfully, her insane travel schedule lined up with my own, and we found an hour to dig in.
