There's a big difference between "knowing" someone from afar and knowing them intimately, right? You have the ability to know your spouse, children, family, and friends because you have spent time in their actual presence, not just seeing a pic of them on the red carpet. You have spent time cultivating a relationship with them [...]

What’s Your Relationship Status?
A relationship is a connection, association, or involvement between two entities. We tend to only think of relationships as connections between people. It's usually pretty easy to evaluate our relationships with our spouse, children, family, and friends. Sometimes those relationships may be enjoying good health and sometimes they are "complicated." But as a person, we [...]
Thankful IN it all!
See this girl right here? I'm really proud of her! This is me standing backstage watching worship in a hidden hallway completely alone unaware the cameraman walked by. I was spending time thanking God before I stepped on a stage to share my marriage restoration testimony. It took courage, vulnerability, and honesty. It took pressing [...]
Want to Grow Your Church, Ministry, or Business, but Feeling STUCK?
As ministers, we can so easily shift into frustration and despair when church attendance is not growing, we’ve made a mistake in implementing a “program," lost a valuable staff member or volunteer family, or shame ourselves for our human failures. The pain comes because we are not ALLOWING and PROCESSING THROUGH all the EMOTIONS that [...]
Giving Yourself the BEST Gift Ever
Are you ready to make an investment in YOURSELF? We don’t invest in coaching because we think it will change those around us, it will most definitely have ripple effects, but we do it because it’s a great way to LOVE ourselves. If the only two things Jesus commands us to do are to love [...]

Because it is always our THOUGHTS that create our EMOTIONS and our EMOTIONS that drive our ACTIONS. Ask me how I know? For the majority [...]
Are You Already Dreading the Holidays?
Thinking about getting through the holidays can bring anxiety and painful thoughts for any of us at certain times in our lives. Maybe this season will be your first time celebrating without a loved one who has passed or as a person who is newly divorced or separated and you are unsure of just how [...]
Are You Addicted to Apologizing?
This is an area in my life that I am currently working on getting better at. The first step is simply gaining greater awareness. Maybe this will help you to be an APOLOGIZING OVERCOMER, too 😉 When someone shows up at the door unexpectedly we respond with, "I'm so sorry. My house is a mess [...]
Did You Know You Can FALL in LOVE With Your Life?
What if I told you that it's totally possible to love the life you are living EVERY SINGLE DAY? That it is actually God's plan for you! Not that your life would be PERFECT. But that you could still feel PEACE and JOY every day. Would you be interested? Often we are living our life [...]
True Boundaries Come From Love
Boundaries is a popular “buzzword” right now. But what does it really mean? One of the most important things I’ve learned about boundaries from my coach is that true boundaries come from a place of LOVE. They are not set in place in order to try to CONTROL ANYONE ELSE. They are NOT telling other [...]
