Anchored In Always- healing and recovery for life, marriage and loss

Peace and hardships- it’s not always either/or, sometimes it’s both!

Do you ever feel like you're on this never ending quest to find balance and peace in your life? Like if you could just discover what’s missing then your life will make sense and you could experience fulfillment. So, you go through life chasing this elusive sense of balance believing that to achieve it means you will  then feel a certain way but what if it’s not chaos OR peace,  or joy OR sorrow, what if it’s BOTH?

Special Guest: Tracy Davis- Shares how she stopped hiding behind who she thought people wanted her to be and found healing!

Join me in a discussion with my good friend and a core leader on our Celebrate Recovery leadership team Tracy Davis as she shares how God brought healing into her life through CR. 

How she was able to step out of denial and identify negative behavior patterns that were impacting her relationships. How God is using the broken parts of her story, that she had always felt she needed to hide to be accepted, to help other hurting women!

How do you respond when things don’t go your way?!

In today's episode I share a little more openly about how I've been wrestling with God about circumstances in my own life and those around me and feelings of frustration and even anger. Looking into scripture and sharing how God has been speaking to me through His Word and the Holy Spirit on this issue. We can't always choose our circumstances, but we can CHOOSE our responses. And He has not left us empty handed in doing that, so take a listen to hear what He has been revealing to me and I pray it blesses and strengthens you in whatever hard trial you may be experiencing as well.

Guest: Emily Himes- How God redirected her life into greater love and purpose than she could’ve imagined for herself!

Emily and her husband Michael both work for Hope Center Ministries which is a year long rehab program that focus on teaching men and women that struggle with substance abuse addiction how to find healing and victory over their addictions in a growing relationship with Jesus!

Her story shows God’s providence and how she had tried finding fulfillment her way and God kept pursuing her and ultimately led her to her now husband ( which is a Hallmark love story itself she shares with us) and an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling job in  recovery ministry!

What should I do versus what is the better choice?!

Listen as we look at the story of Mary and Martha in the Bible and discuss how we often choose the busyness of the tasks we feel we should do over what Jesus says in this story is “the better thing."

And how often this busyness leads to comparison and bitterness that draw us away from an intimate relationship with Jesus and people in our lives! So how do we choose the better? What does it mean to live unapologetically sold out for Jesus like Mary did? Take a listen in today’s episode!

Special Guest: Kelly Bullock- shares her first time experience getting coaching! BONUS-join us for mini session!

I had planned to have Kelly teach, but she hijacked the episode and wanted to share instead from her experience of being coached. What her mindset was going into it, having never experienced it before and not sure what it really even was to seeing real value and impact on her life today!

Plus, listen in on an impromptu mini coaching session between Kelly and me in this episode to see what the experience might be like for you!

If you’ve been on the fence or have no idea what coaching is, then you don’t want to miss this episode!

If we truly believe Jesus is the answer to what people are seeking, then why do we struggle to share him with them?!

We all have different gifts, but our purpose is the same to love the Lord our God with all of our heart soul mind and strength and to love other people by sharing the gospel with them. But how we go about doing that may look different for each one of us and that’s OK.

Listen as I share how about a recent encounter with a sweet woman searching for God. And as I sat at that table and listened to her ask questions, there was a moment of hesitation and then I thought to myself do I really believe that Jesus is what she needs, that having a relationship with him will indeed transform her life! Then why would I hold back? Why would I not share with her exactly what she’s looking for?!

When we stop fighting, we start healing!

Have you ever been caught in the ocean or for me it was Lake Michigan and the waves were high and the current was strong? And the more you fought and tried to swim to the shoreline the farther away you were and the more exhausted you felt and maybe even scared or hopeless. What if you just surrendered? And allowed the current to lead you to the safe place. Maybe you would be further down the road and things might look different but you would also be able to stand up and catch your breath again? Take a listen as I share from my own experience and as we look at a few examples in the Bible as well!
