The Cost to Follow God is High, But the Reward Is Higher!

The Cost to Follow God is High, But the Reward Is Higher!

This weekend, I had the pleasure of teaching our women's Bible study class on the topic of Counting the Cost from the book Traveling Toward Transformation by Travena Rogan. While I wish you could have been there, I'm excited to bring those valuable insights to you in this week's episode. Listen in as I discuss how saying the Mother of All Yes' the Yes we say to follow Christ, impacts every aspect of our life. I will also give you 4 foundational tools for spiritual growth that included:


Making God Your #1 Priority (Foundation for Your Toolbox)

  • Uncover how to make God your highest priority and navigate the sacrifices and choices that come with this commitment, ensuring that you're aligning your life with His divine purpose.

Daily Determination & Discipline (Tools for Daily Maintenance)

  • I dive into the daily practices and unwavering discipline necessary to maintain your faith journey. Discover how determination and spiritual disciplines empower you to face life's trials and temptations.

Knowledge and Application of God's Word (The Manual)

  • Delve into the transformative potential of God's Word as you learn to study, meditate on, and apply His teachings in every aspect of your life. The Bible serves as your blueprint for a strong Christian foundation.

Examine Your Heart & Actions (The Maintenance Checklist)

  • Self-examination is invaluable and plays a major role in sustaining your spiritual health. Identify and address the obstacles standing between you and your spiritual growth, allowing new growth to flourish.

The cost of following God is high, but it is the best price you will ever pay, with the highest return!

A Reflection on Psalm 36:4...Are You Committed To God’s Course for Your Life?

As followers of Christ, we are called to be committed to a course that leads to a specific point—a course that aligns with God's will and promises abundance and peace. But in our journey, we often encounter the tempting and deceiving course of sin, which can lead to spiritual depletion.

In today's episode, we delve into this crucial topic and explore the importance of reflecting on the course we have chosen.

Together, we'll navigate the complexities of this choice and uncover the truths that will guide us on the right path. We'll delve into the deceptive allure of the course of sin and its potential consequences while highlighting the assurance we have as followers of Christ. Even when we stumble, we can find comfort in knowing that the Lord has a firm hold on us and will not let us fall.

Remember, your commitment to a course that leads to abundance and peace has the power to transform not only your own life but also the lives of those around you. So, let's dive in and embrace the course that brings us closer to God's love and blessings!

Wisdom Wednesday! A New Month & a New Theme! The Power of the Tongue

Wisdom Wednesday! A New Month & a New Theme! The Power of the Tongue

This month we will study the Proverbs that talk about the power of our tongue. The tongue has the power to bring life or death, and the impact it has on those around us is tremendous! Today I discuss Proverbs 12:18 “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

The Key Reflection Questions are:
1. Are your words giving life to the people around
you? Do you encourage, build up, and restore?
2. What reckless words do you find yourself saying, if any, and think about where those words are stemming from? Is there bitterness,
envy, anger, or sadness that you may need to tend to that is simmering?
3. Think about how you can intentionally bring healing into the lives of your family, friends, and people you don’t know well? Think about this in terms of interacting with strangers; how can you be a peacemaker instead of a peacebreaker?
4. Think about the verse, Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring? We know this can not happen, but do you find this
happening in your life? Are you praising God and cursing man?
Thank you for listening! Let's be peacemakers in a world of peacebreakers!

In today's Faith, Coffee & a Kid Podcast episode, I discuss my 30-day commitment to improving my physical health. The past year has been full of ups and downs, and all around, that has left me feeling physically unmotivated, and it shows. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see Nick Vujicic speak; if you haven't heard him, he is amazing! He has an incredible story that reminds you that you can can overcome any obstacle with the strength of Christ and an attitude of faith. Nick was born with no limbs, and to see what God has done through him is inspiring! But, I was reminded of the Wisdom Wednesday Series about the sluggard and how we have to be willing to get up, take our mat, and plow in season. I made the commitment to myself to work out for the next 30 days, which includes cardio every for at least 20 minutes, strength training with weights, crunches, and stretching. I printed out my Habit Tracker Worksheet, and I completed two days! Are you interested in completing a 30 Day Challenge with me?

Wisdom Wednesday! A Little Sleep a Little Slumber can Lead to Big Issues!

Today on Wisdom Wednesday I’d jump into Proverbs 6:9 “ how long will you lie there you sluggard when will you get up from your sleep a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man” There is much to unpack! So listen in to todays 4th episode on the theme of the Sluggard!

Wisdom Wednesday! Are you plowing in season to reap a harvest?

Wisdom Wednesday! Are you plowing in season to reap a harvest?

Today is all about plowing in season to either reap a harvest or not. Proverbs 20:4 tell us, “ The Sluggard does not plow in season so at harvest finds nothing.” Don’t you love how the Proverbs gives us practical wisdom on the consequences of our action or non—action? When we do not plow in season we often miss opportunities, we miss God’s blessings and we miss the opportunity to be a blessing to others. Today I dive into this scripture and reflect on how we with reap a harvest or not. Some reflection questions are: what seeds are you planting in your life in your ministry in your family that you are nurturing? Or what seeds are you not. 2) are you plowing in season? What are you investing in? How have you invested in the gifts you are blessed with? Are you moving towards God‘s purpose or away from it? 3) Think about the season you are currently in, is it a season of opportunity or a season of preparation, to sit in prayer and get ready for the next chapter of your life? Also please answer the quick poll on whether you would be interested in a short devotional to go along with the theme we are studying in Proverbs? Thank you for listening!

Wisdom Wednesday! Is Your Path Blocked by Thorns or Is It an Open Highway? Proverbs 15:19

Wisdom Wednesday! Is Your Path Blocked by Thorns or Is It an Open Highway? Proverbs 15:19

Today I jump into Proverbs 15:19, “ The way of the Sluggard is blocked with thorns but the path of upright is a highway.” What obstacles are blocking your way, what competing thoughts are keeping you from the open highway that leads to God’s abundance for your life. There is so much practical wisdom in this Proverb and self reflection that we can apply to our lives. The 4 Key Takeaways are: 1) if you find yourself relating to the Sluggard, reflect on the opportunities you may have missed, or passages that have been closed, and your role through your thoughts and actions? 2) Think about a time when opportunities and people were places in your path at a time when you were diligent and walking in obedience? 3) The Sluggard blocks it’s own path through habits - physical, mental and spiritual. What habits or thorns may be impeding you? 4) Do you take time to ponder the path you’re on? Is it a path that leads to an open highway or a closed off street?

Is a Judgmental Attitude Burning Out Your Christian Light?

Is a Judgmental Attitude Burning Out Your Christian Light?

Did you know that according to a recent poll by the Episcopal Church, entitled Jesus in America, that 54% of those 3119 adults polled with no religious affiliation found Christians judgmental, 55% said we are hypocrites and 50% said we were self righteous? Wow! As Christians we should find this disheartening. In this episode I dive deep into why judgment is squashing our Christian light and stopping us from effectively carrying out the message of Jesus.

Breaking Bread Without Losing Your Head! Diving Into the Details of the Thanksgiving Dinner Table

Breaking Bread Without Losing Your Head! Diving Into the Details of the Thanksgiving Dinner Table

Hospitality is not just about a pretty table, it's about how you position your heart to serve others and to make them feel comfortable. If you are at ease your guests will be too. We always hear it's not about being perfect it's about being present and I 100% agree. The presentation doesn't matter if your guests feel uncomfortable. Often we get caught up in the presentation because we try to give our guests the best experience we can give them, but the best experience starts with a relaxed hostess. Preparation and pre-decision help you be present and not worry about those details that drive us crazy. 

Today I will discuss how to take Thanksgiving inventory so that you do that pre-decision work and get prepared so you can be present! In this episode I'll talk about taking inventory of the following:

  • Tables, chairs, and serving tables
  • The number of plates (main course, dessert, and any appetizers) you need for the number of guests you are hosting.
  • The number of glasses, coffee cups, or wine glasses
  • Silverware
  • Napkins whether cloth or paper
  • Serving Dishes & Utensils
  • Tablecloths

Of course, I won't leave you high and dry without some resources to make taking inventory easier! Go to my website and get 4 downloads! 

  • 2 Thanksgiving To-do Lists with different designs
  • Thanksgiving Inventory List- One is blank that you can fill in, and the other list I have filled in some of the categories for you, to make it super simple.

Do Something! No More Mass Shootings! Protect Our Children

Do Something! No More Mass Shootings! Protect Our Children

I am devastated by the murders of the children and teachers in Uvalde Texas. My heart like the rest of our country is broken and I’m mourning these precious children. Why does this keep happening and why are we not acting? We are called to Do Something! We can not tout being a nation of family values when we do not protect our most vulnerable. Today is raw and I’m speaking from my heart and as a mom. As a community we need to have an open honest dialogue but we also need to be a community of action, our children’s life literally depends on it.
