Why the kitchen table? For me, it’s where family gathers, hearts connect, and meaningful conversations happen. These episodes are meant to feel the same way—as if we’re sitting together over coffee or tea, sharing life’s ups and downs, and learning from God’s faithfulness in the everyday.
Think of these episodes as a little time set aside for honest conversations and encouragement, just like we’d share around my own kitchen table
Have you ever struggled with unforgiveness? If we’re honest I believe we all have. But that’s not how God wants us to live. Even though He commands us to forgive, it’s not  just to let the other person off the hook. He wants us to forgive because He knows how...
What if the way you love could change the world—starting in your own home? In a culture that feels fractured and hostile, loving others like Jesus isn’t just hard—it feels impossible. But what if God gave us a blueprint for loving without limits?
We all walk through seasons that feel like a desert—lonely, exhausting, and full of questions for God. In this episode, I open up about my own painful wilderness years—struggling with infertility, chronic illness, and depression—and how I eventually discovered that God hadn’t abandoned me after all.
When my husband and I became empty nesters, we really started seeing how different we are when it comes to hobbies. We struggled to find activities we’d both like, almost always coming away with nothing we could agree on. Even movies and tv shows wreaked dissension. Then my husband started...
What dream have you had that you feel is too big to pursue? One of my big dreams has always been to go to England, the country my maternal grandmother was from. But I don’t like to fly, I was worried I couldn’t do that much walking, didn’t know how...

Have you ever struggled with unforgiveness? If we’re honest I believe we all have. But that’s not how God wants us to live. Even though He commands us to forgive, it’s not just to let the other person off the hook. He wants us to forgive because He knows how holding onto resentment can cause a cancer to grow in our hearts, hurting us so much more than the person who caused the hurt. In this episode I’ll share several instances where God convicted me of my unforgiving heart as well as a parable where Jesus shows us how ungrateful we are when we don’t forgive.
