  The Antidote to Shame- Episode 98

  Aug 18, 20269 minS6

  If being hard on yourself is your default setting, this is your invitation to try something different. In this short episode (less than 10 minutes!), we are talking about how Jesus describes Himself, where we see God's gentleness in the Old Testament too, and how the gospel invites us to come home to God. Jesus Himself is gentle and lowly, and because He is, we can be too. LINKS Leave a review on Apple podcasts Connect with Kayla on Instagram Visit Kayla's website (and become an email friend there!)

  Faith That Grows in the Dark: Staying Rooted in Seasons We Would Not Choose- Episode 97

  Aug 11, 202610 minS6

  Infertility and loss are parts of my story that I would never, ever choose, but I know that I know God more because of them. In this short episode (less than 10 minutes!), we are talking about the hard-won spiritual fruit of faithfulness, and how God uses the things in our lives that break our hearts and make us mad for good, to grow us in ways only He can. He who promised is faithful. He who calls you is faithful. Because He is faithful, we can be too.

  Noticing the Good God Has Already Given You to Do- Episode 96

  Aug 4, 20269 minS6

  Small Acts, Big Impact: Foster Care, Caregiver Support, and Loving Our Local Schools- Episode 95

  Jul 28, 202632 minS6

  Caring for the vulnerable can look "big," but often, it looks small to us. The good news is God cares about both the big and small, and He puts us in places to meet needs and share His love with the world and our neighbors. Join me and three of my favorite guests (and yours!) as we talk about three practical ways to care for the vulnerable: foster care, caring for caregivers, and supporting our local schools. These women are incredible advocates for vulnerable children and families. In this episode, we're getting real about foster care, the needs of caregivers, and supporting our local schools, regardless of how we choose to educate our own children. I hope this episode gives you eyes to see the needs around you and encourages you to take action right where you are.

  The Truth About Church Hurt and Finding Your Way Back- Episode 94

  Jul 21, 202631 minS6

  It can feel complicated to love God but feel wary of His people. When it comes to church hurt, sometimes it's hard to know if what happened to you was just disappointment (people are very people-y, after all), or if it was something more. Join me and two of my favorite guests (and yours!) as we tell the truth about Church hurt. We're talking about the difference between disappointment/hurt and spiritual abuse, how to sort through being disappointed with an organization vs. the God they represent, how to know when it's time to stay and when it's time to move on, and more. Wherever you are on your faith walk and in your story with God and His people, I hope this episode gives you some clarity and helps you walk in grace.
