I don't know about you, but there are times when it seems like everyone else seems to be living an idyllic life...everyone but me! Social media tends to paint a picture of these beautiful, easy lives void of suffering and disappointments. Part of my brain knows that's a lie and not reality, but then there's this part of me that can fall into the trap that it's real. Today, I'm talking with my friend (and my kids' high school pastor) about SUFFERING! Sadly, I think it's something we shy away from - I mean...who wants to sit around and talk about the disappointments and pain of life!? Well, as believers we need to understand what the Lord says about suffering, how to suffer, and how to honor Him in the process. There is HOPE! A lot of HOPE! And as discouraging as this topic may sound...I pray you walk away encouraged!

We're definitely going a little against the grain and celebrating mamas AFTER Mother's Day! But, let's be real...we can use encouragement every day of the week!

If you're a mama...this is for you!

Sometimes it's the simplest things that have the most profound effect on me and my walk with Jesus. This is one of those times. The Lord put a simple question on my heart and it's been making me think ever since.

So...if you're ready for simple, yet thought provoking questions...hop in to today's episode!

See ya inside!

Today on GATG we're talking about our weaknesses and how, as a Christian, it's so good to be reminded that they are a good thing. They are meant to point us to Christ. It's one of those things that we probably say and agree with, but then when the rubber hits the road, the bottom falls out, life is insanely hard, or maybe you throw your back out and your forced to ask yourself if you actually believe what you too eagerly agree with!

Yes...that was a run-on sentence, but no one's grading me, so I'm totally ok with it!

Hop in and take a listen. I'd love to hear your REAL LIFE examples of when the Lord has reminded you that those weaknesses are actually an opportunity to see HIS goodness and mercy!

See ya inside! xx, Michelle

Have you been hearing me say that - "seek Jesus in every conversation" and wonder what exactly I mean by that?

Well, that's what we're talking about today. Sometimes we're in FACE TO FACE conversations and we're ignoring the prompting of the Holy Spirit to say what He wants us to say...and sometimes we're just going about our day...how do we seek Jesus in the big and little things of life?

Hop in and take a listen.

Anyone else have the gift of overcomplicating or overextending????

Just me?! Ok...well then...keep scrolling.

But...if you too have a tendency to self-inflict pain in the form of over complicating, then this little soundbite is for you!

The reality is...if we're overcommitted and overextended we can't really show up for Jesus like we should...which then means that we're probably not doing such a stellar job for our family...just a guess...cause that's how things play out for me. :(

Hop in, let's get going.

Heeeeeeyyyyyy there friend!!!

It's been a lot longer than I ever imagined...definitely a time of Proverbs 16:9 - “The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps." I had plans... BUT GOD!

Did you catch the changes? From the name - going back to the OG ... to the pod art ... to the MUSIC!! Ooooh!! I'm definitely a little bit rock and roll and love me a good rock band song. Hello...I'm a product of the 80's.

But above all...it is my heart's desire to point you to JESUS! He is worthy of all praise and honor and worship. I don't want to just walk with Jesus...I want to walk, sleep, speak, eat, dream, dance, drive, teach, parent, work...do EVERYTHING with Jesus. There is POWER in His name!

I'm so glad you're here and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!!
