Coffee with the Proverbs 31 Woman
I took a class called Money, Faith & Business over the last 11 days with Jennifer Allwood and guests, and it was amazing. Today I'll be sharing some of the highlights of that class for me in terms of the Proverbs 31 woman and the power of generosity...
Nativity
In 2021 I created a series of videos around the Nativity. I created this series for myself mostly, because the Christmas story is familiar - almost TOO familiar - and I wanted to dive into the story at a deeper level. What I found in these stories was very encouraging. Christmas on a whole new level. God with us - at it's best!
Falling in Step with Heaven
Those who know me know I have been on a journey out of conformity for quite a while, and God continues to call me farther out of this toxic place. Today I'd like to encourage you to take a step out of the boat and move closer to being the person God created you to be among the people God called you to love.

Whatever the church teaches…
https://youtu.be/hNn0wNfquhU Mindset: Whatever the church teaches MUST be right… RIGHT? During the Reformation there were no devotions around the table with the Bible open, people depended on the priest. We know that didn't go well then… and 500 years later we have a very different problem. There are thousands of voices telling us what the... Continue Reading →
Not ALL Women…
https://youtu.be/nH3DWwuSiTc I never fit in with church culture because I didn't have children. All the "little mommies" could talk about was their children, and I could never relate to them and I didn't even exist in their world of packing lunches, wiping noses, and taking kids to soccer. So infertility made me an outsider in... Continue Reading →
Be Not Conformed
https://youtu.be/NDBuNFuWwgM Today I'm sharing my life verse "be not conformed" that has been rattling around in my spirit for the last few years. (Romans 12:2) Yesterday the Lord gave me the second half of that verse in a whole new way and I'm totally here for it! "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind!"... Continue Reading →
Waiting on the Lord
