Kindled - Motherhood, Work & The Grace We Need For Both

What does “social justice” mean as we hear it today in culture? What does it encompass and include and how is it defined? What is justice as we see it in the Bible and who is responsible for its execution and implementation? These are just a few of the questions I posed to the Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker, the hosts of the Just Thinking podcast. I was honored that Darrell and Virgil agreed to come on the show and discuss this incredibly relevant and important topic with me.   Sponsor: P --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Tune in as I talk with Stefanie Gass, the host of the Mompreneur Mastermind podcast, and she shares her story.  It's one that started out in network marketing, where she became a top 1% network marketer and had achieved all of the income, 17K months, trips, recognition... but was still missing something. She wasn't doing what she was truly passionate about. When she transitioned into educating female entrepreneurs on faith-led business and balance mentorship, everything shifted. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

God is our Redeemer. He Redeems us from our most broken places and sets us high upon the rock. So what does that look like when he takes even a broken and distorted childhood and blesses you and hundreds and hundreds of others though it? It looks like Brooke Robinson's story. Brooke is the founder of BTribalFit, a community of women who support each other in online workouts and accountability.  Show Notes: https://kindledpodcast.com/2019/06/10/when-god-redeems-our-broken-places-brooke-robinson-ep-66/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Motherhood is full of changing seasons. Things we used to rely on for sanity, strength, identity and purpose get ripped from our tightly gripped fingers by the grace of God. We are early in a pregnancy and can no longer work out the way we used to. Our time is not our own and meal planning the healthy choices we used to delight in has become a burden. We are overwhelmed by a difficult season or circumstance our child is going through, and life starts to feel all but under control. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Today I'm so excited to share an interview with a woman I look up to so much, Cheryl Scruggs. Cheryl and her husband Jeff have a nonprofit called Hope for Marriages where they support couples in reconciling their marriages and they also co-wrote “I Do Again.” Cheryl and Jeff spent 10 together in a disappointing marriage, only to get divorced and stay separated for 7 years. Theirs is one of unbelievable reconciliation is only possible with a God like ours. Show notes at www.kindledpodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

I got chills listening to this episode after it was recorded.  Michelle brings the TRUTH to us today through admonition to follow our one leader rather than being obsessed with becoming leaders. How we need to also be taught before teaching.  She is the founder of She Works His Way, an organization that helps women learn in their life and work how to give God the glory & make Jesus our hero. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” Abigail Dodds brings beautiful and freeing truth to us straight from God's word to us today regarding our being women created in the image of God. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

This episode is for those of us that tend to fall into the ditches of apathy and anxiety on the road to lasting and sustainable wholesome living. Maybe I'm just talking to myself here, but for me, the struggle is real. Often times we as mamas struggle with a balance between apathy and anxiety when it comes to our health. Bethany helps women discover what it means to live a life centered in rest and how that can affect all areas of our health, family and business/service to others. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

This episode is the KICK in your faith/business pants you've been needing!

With instagram, facebook and Twitter in our fingertips, we both find ourselves having influence and receiving influence from all manner of individuals who believe all manner of things.  Slap the label "Christian" and the words "Jesus" up next to what is posted and said and shared, and you have a recipe for either total awesomeness or total disaster. How are you discerning what you are consuming online? This episode is about the ultimate, final and only authority of Scripture to tell us what is true. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

The economy of God and grace is upside-down and backwards, and that's pretty much what I'm talking about in this episode with three ladies, known as "The Ruth Experience." We chat about how living generously actually doesn't empty us when we stand on the promises of God to be for us everything we need.

What if parenting wasn't just an opportunity to course correct or provide behavior modification? What if it was a chance to mirror the gospel by acting to save someone from error or evil. That is the meaning of "Redemptive" and it is actually the model Christ calls us to as parents.  Kristen will challenge you and help you see all the opportunities you have to teach a different - and more important - lesson, when you parent out of weakness rather than strength. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Holly Wimer is a friend of mine and she is also an Ambassador for Noonday Collection, a socially responsible business that creates a marketplace for jewelry and accessories handmade by Artisans across the globe.  Holly discovered the work when she was a newly stay-at-home mom needing to help make ends meet. What she didn't expect to find was a pursuit she'd come to be passionate about. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

So often, we expect victory to feel like conquering our giant.  But what if your giant is really the unspoken thought in the small moments of your day. What about when you have no big battle to fight, but the low-grade anxiety of life feels all-consuming. What then? Does Christ offer us victory in not just our battle against the flesh and our war on sin but in the very mundane, monotonous moments of our days? Listen in as Tabitha and I discuss how Christ gives us victory in the ordinary moments. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

We all have a story to tell. I bet many of you have wondered how you might get your story into the world and write it down for others to read. Today author Jenny Bravo is chatting with me about how she got into self-publishing and it provided an avenue for her to tell her own story. She took her real-life experiences and turned them into fiction, providing catharsis for herself as she healed, and a pursuit of a newfound passion.  Sponsor: SEO Made Simple: www.seomadesimple.co --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

My friend Lauren Gilmore and I love a good chick flick. In particular, we love You’ve Got Mail. It’s our favorite. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks at their finest — what’s not to like? So, in view of Valentine’s Day coming up this week, love being in the air and many a romantic comedy playing on cable, we thought we’d take a look at our favorite movie through a gospel lens and see what we could find. Is there anything that could be redeemed to point us to Jesus? We were surprised by what we found! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

It's our 1 year anniversary! And to celebrate, I turned the mic on YOU - my listeners. I asked you to answer this question: "What is God teaching you in your work and your motherhood?"  You emailed in, you called in, and you shared with me how God was working in your life and heart this year. I'm so grateful to be celebrating this special landmark. I pray this episode encourages your heart to hear all the ways God is working in women who listen to this show.
