All moms worry, right? But for moms who experience anxiety, worry can quickly elevate into debilitating overwhelm, fear, and doubt. Join me as I chat with (repeat!) guest - Courtney Devich who shares her journey with Jesus while living with mental illness. Almost 1 year ago, Courtney was gracious enough to be my very first podcast guest. Since then she has launched her first book, Mama’s Got Anxiety - But It’s Not Going to Steal Her Joy which just released September 5, 2023! 

Listen in as Courtney and I discuss - 

• Unpacking the lie that people with anxiety just don’t have enough faith

• How even while battling anxiety you can actively pursue Christ and joyfulness

• And that sometimes there is healing (and humor) in being vulnerable about anxiety

Prayer can be defined as an earnest hope or wish - but really it’s so much more than that. It's adoration, it’s thanks, it’s requests, it’s confession, it's intercession…it is a conversation with the most high and holy God. Not sure about what that looks like for you? Join me and guest Eda Esilaba as we discuss just that - how to cultivate and ignite prayer in your own life. Eda is a wife, mother and Teaching Pastor at 2|42 Community Church, leading Family Ministries. In this episode she shares her journey with Jesus as well as her passion for prayer, and how it deepens our relationship with God. Listen now!

Grief - we’ve all been there in some capacity. And often when we go through any season of grief we ask questions of why. We start doubting God. We start wondering - is he still good?

Through the diagnosis of her father with pancreatic cancer, and his subsequent passing - Tori shares her profound journey of holding on to faith while dealing with loss. “My faith was challenged, deconstructed, and rebuilt stronger,” she says.
