But, it wasn’t until she was in her late thirties that she saw how her lifelong obsession with body image was a sin separating from God.

God has been working in my life to show me other areas of hidden sin in my heart too since this time. His grace is good. Today we are unpacking the topic of How to live a comparison-free life and how that life leads to joy, peace, and rest.

S7: Episode 1 Praying for your future husband with special guest Cari Kates
Cari Kates is a media consultant, coach, and talent, specializing in Christian music radio. Cari transitioned from a journey in stage acting to radio and television at the recommendation of a high school teacher. One college class of “Announcing for Radio & TV” and Cari was hooked. Her career in radio has taken her from a small station in Amarillo, TX to being the first female in Programming Leadership at K-LOVE and Air1 national networks. Cari had stops in Birmingham, AL (Roll Tide!), Fresno-Bakersfield, CA, and Nashville, TN along the way. Now she lives in the NYC Metro with her husband and enjoys helping Christian music stations all over the country.
“Don’t settle for less than God’s best for you.” Those words from Voddie Baucham (during a conference for college students) would become Cari's motivation to embrace singlehood…even if it meant for the long haul. Being a single woman after 30 is becoming more common, but single after 40 comes with an assumption that you also love cats and/or plants. (Which she unashamedly loves both. Over 40 and determined to not settle, but ready for a relationship, Carrie began to pray every day for her future husband. He was faceless, nameless…even formless at first…but over time, he began to take shape and God wrote a beautiful story of falling in love. This journey has inspired Cari to proclaim Voddie’s words to her single friends and say from experience, "It’s worth the wait!"

My guest this week on the Bringing Her Hope Podcast is Kelsey Chapman. Kelsey is an author, community builder, online educator, and host of The Radiant Podcast. She wholeheartedly believes dreams are worth pursuing and is passionate about teaching women how to walk with purpose in their gifts and live from a place of identity and rest — all so that they can carry their dreams and vision for the long haul.
After a few years of fumbling her way through post-grad life and a brief stint overseas, Kelsey realized that her entrepreneurial itch wasn’t going away. She came home, got to work, and turned a part-time blog and side-hustle into a multi-six-figure business in just two years. From there, she realized her business savvy traits and desire to empower others could be translated into something bigger through teaching everything she’s learned with others. In just four years, she has mentored hundreds of clients and thousands of students through building their brand, growing their platform, and stewarding their influence.
Today, Kelsey plays the role of a personal cheerleader to an engaged audience of 100,000k followers, hosts The Radiant Podcast, and empowers and equips women through her Radiant Podcast, Dream To Done online mentorship program, and most recently, her book What They Taught Me: Recognizing The Mentors Who Will Take You From Dream To Done.

At the age of 13, Diana was forced into a sexual relationship by an upperclassman at her school. Through that experience, Diana felt like her world had fallen apart... BUT God ...used that relationship, all the things that came before and after to teach about His unfathomable love for her.

S5: Episode 4 Surrendering Your Dreams with special guest Hope Darst
My guest this week is Hope Darst. Hope is a wife, mom, and music artist.
Hope dreamed of being an artist for 25 years and then laid that dream aside to pursue what God had called her to do - raise a family and serve the local church. She never imagined that 15 years later, God would lead her back to her first dream of writing and releasing music as an artist. What she learned through that journey was that when we stay surrendered and keep saying 'Yes' to the season God puts in front of us, He writes an amazing story over our lives.
