Welcome to Episode 30 of the Warrior Words podcast!

Have you ever struggled with your weight?

What about body image?

And has either negatively impacted you and your life?

My guest, Brandice, began this struggle at age 14, and I'm sure many of us can relate in some way.

What would you have done - or maybe, what did you do - when faced with a condition as a requirement to belong to a specific group?

I'm sure many listeners can answer this question: What is it like to grow up in a dysfunctional home? While all of our specific circumstances will be different, many of us know what this feels like.

The next question is: How did/do we respond? What happens when we leave our dysfunctional home and enter the outside world?

My guest, Amy, encountered several difficulties as an adult, but also found some hope. Listen in and find out what she did and what she learned.

A little while ago, I was honored when Dr. Lisa Hartwell invited me to be a guest on the Anxiety Ease Podcast. We had an interesting conversation about the ways high-functioning anxiety has played a role in my traumas and how I worked through them. Sometimes helpful; other times, not-so-much.

You don't have to have a medical diagnosis of anxiety to experience high-functioning anxiety. Join us as we discuss what this has looked like in my life and make sure you check out the other episodes of the Anxiety Ease podcast!

Welcome to Episode 26 of the Warrior Words podcast!

Does God Forgive Abortion? That is the heart of this week's episode. Brittany Poppe and I agree that this is a question that weighs heavily on many women's minds after their abortions. And it's a question that may lead many of those women to stay in their shame and guilt feelings and not seek help. But Brittany has a different answer; one that offers hope and healing.

Join us as Brittany Poppe shares her own story: why she made the choice she did, what happened after that decision, and what she's doing now to help other women.

This week, I basically turn the mic over to Paige McLemore. Her story is powerful and one I didn't want to interrupt too much. What she has experienced and chosen to do with that experience is a testament to the power of the Holy Spirit. It's a difficult story, but one where redemption and grace end up playing a pivotal role.
