The Beauty of Becoming: The Single Ladies Podcast

Any (good) relationship expert will tell you communication is key. Not just the easy, lighthearted conversations... but the difficult, honest ones, too.So why have we been taught to hold it all in when it comes to God?In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the biblical practice of lament... what it looks like to bring our grief, confusion, and unanswered questions to God, and how honest prayers in hard seasons are actually a sign of faith that can draw us closer to Him.Thank you for joining me as we discover the beauty of becoming together!

Can I just say the thing everyone thinks but no one ever talks about??Creating a life you actually like is really hard work! We stress out about whether or not we’re doing enough and whether we're making the most of this season of singleness.Then, we experience all of this pressure (from ourselves and from others) about what life "should" look like... so we begin building lives for how they look instead of how they feel. But what could our lives look like if we didn’t live buried beneath all of this pressure? What if God has given us this time not to build up this giant resume of accomplishments and experiences… but to dig deep to discover who we really are and to create a life authentic to that? My heart for this episode is to check in with you and ask, are you building a life that’s authentic to the real you, or are you building the life you think you “should”? Are you designing your life from a place of intentionality, or are you making decisions from the fear of missing out? And I'll be sharing some ways to check in with yourself to make sure you're creating a life you *actually* like. :)

We've all experienced the "Not Yet" seasons.They’re the times when God has closed a door in an area of your life, but He hasn’t given you any direction on what’s next. And it brings feelings of uncertainty about the future, about what God’s doing–or if He’s even doing anything at all. Today, I’d like to share some stories from the Bible that have been speaking to me lately, and dive into how we can respond in our own lives when we face these times of navigating through the “not yet.” Thanks for joining me as we discover the beauty of becoming. 

Ever feel like your spiritual life is like one of those interstate highways that's always under construction? Like God is forever working on something in you... addressing behaviors, patterns, or attitudes to help you grow.Well, today's conversation is all about giving ourselves the grace to grow in times like these. Seasons of stretching and of growth—of working through these areas in our lives with God— aren’t always fun or easy to navigate; but with some shifts in our perspectives, we can learn to see these seasons as God’s kindness towards us, and preparation for what’s to come. So thank you for joining me as we discover the Beauty of Becoming, together.

Have you ever had so many challenges hit you at once that it felt like you were just trying to keep your head above water? When all you want is one piece of good news—just one thing to finally go right—only to be met with more difficulties or disappointments?In today’s conversation, we'll be talking about how to walk through these kinds of seasons with authenticity–how we can shift our perspectives to both acknowledge the difficulties we're facing while also seeing the good still around us. So thank you for joining me as we discover the Beauty of Becoming, together.
