Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Some of the best growth starts with a question. In this episode, Eliza and I sit down and talk through a handful of things we’ve been thinking about, reading about, and feeling like the Lord has been teaching us lately. Eliza is naturally curious, loves to read, and is always asking thoughtful questions … and I love that about her. We talk about why it’s okay not to have everything figured out, why questions can actually deepen your faith, and how seeking wisdom, Scripture, and the Lord can help us grow. You don’t have to know everything. Just keep asking, keep learning, and keep seeking Him.

Letter Seven: Your Plans Can Change
Life won’t always go according to plan and that’s okay. In this letter, we talk about IQ, EQ, and AQ: learning to understand your emotions, respond wisely, and stay adaptable when life changes. Sometimes the interruption isn’t keeping you from God’s plan…the interruption is God’s plan. Make your plans, but hold them with open hands and be willing to pivot when God leads you somewhere different. 🤍

Letter Six: Show Me Your Five
The people closest to you are helping shape the person you’re becoming. In this letter, we talk about being intentional with the people you allow to influence your life, choosing relationships that encourage wisdom and growth, and remembering that loving everyone doesn’t mean everyone gets a front-row seat. But there’s another side to this conversation too: Who are you becoming in someone else’s five? Choose your people wisely and become the kind of person who makes others better simply because you’re in their life.

I Prayed for This … Now What?
Eliza is back… and this time we’re laughing about what happens when you pray for something, think God answered, and then realize… maybe you weren’t actually ready for it. 😂🤍 We talk about relationships, God’s timing, and the temptation to push open doors instead of trusting Him to open them. Sometimes the answer isn’t “no” - it’s simply “not yet.” Don’t create an Ishmael trying to rush what God has promised. Trust His timing. His way is better.

Future You Will Thank You
In this episode, Emery and I talk about why building healthy habits as a teenager matters. From food and movement to discipline and daily choices, we discuss how the decisions you make today can shape the life you live tomorrow. Our hope is to encourage you to care for your body, not because of how it looks, but because it’s a gift God has entrusted to you.

Letter Five: The Power of Your Words
Your words carry more weight than you may realize. They can build confidence or create insecurity, bring hope or deepen hurt, and shape the way you and others see the future. In this letter, we talk about the power of life and death in the tongue, the words we speak over ourselves, and the responsibility we have to use our voice wisely. We’ll also explore how encouragement, gratitude, and speaking truth can change the atmosphere around us. My hope is that this letter encourages you to slow down before you speak and ask one simple question: Will these words bring life?

Letter Four: What Are You Doing with What God Gave You?
God has already placed gifts, time, relationships, opportunities, resources, and influence in your hands. The question is not whether you have enough, it is whether you are faithfully using what you already have. In this letter, we talk about stewardship through the Parable of the Talents and why stewardship is about so much more than money. It is about honoring God with your body, your words, your faith, your time, your abilities, and every part of your life. My hope is that this letter encourages you to stop comparing, stop waiting for perfect conditions, and begin using what God has entrusted to you right where you are.

Letter Three: Three Lessons I Learned Too Late
Some of life’s greatest lessons come from looking back. In this letter, I share three decisions from my own life that taught me more than I ever expected. One was made because of fear. One because I believed someone else’s opinion instead of seeking God’s direction. And one because I made a permanent decision based on temporary circumstances. My hope is that these lessons encourage you to slow down, seek God’s wisdom, ask good questions, and never let fear, someone else’s voice, or a lack of resources make your biggest life decisions. I’m cheering for you.

Letter Two: Forgiveness Is Freedom
Forgiveness isn’t saying what happened was okay. It’s choosing freedom over bitterness. In this letter, I share one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned: unforgiveness rarely hurts the other person as much as it hurts us. It shapes the way we see people, the way we trust, and even the way we experience joy. Together, we’ll talk about what forgiveness really is, what it isn’t, and why choosing to forgive isn’t just a gift to someone else, it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

Letter One: Your Relationship with Jesus Is Yours
Your relationship with Jesus is one of the greatest gifts you’ll ever have and it’s a relationship only you can build. In this first letter, I share why your faith can’t simply be borrowed from your parents, your church, or the people around you. It has to become your own. We’ll talk about what it looks like to build a personal relationship with Jesus through His Word, prayer, community, and learning to recognize His faithfulness in your everyday life. I also share why keeping a journal of answered prayers and moments where God shows up has become one of the greatest faith builders in my own life. My prayer is that this letter encourages you to know God personally, trust Him deeply, and begin collecting your own stories of His goodness and faithfulness.

Roots Before Fruit: Discovering Your Identity
Who am I? It’s a question we all ask. In this episode, Stephanie and her 14-year-old daughter, Eliza, talk about why discovering who you are begins with discovering who God is. Through the picture of a seed growing deep roots before producing fruit, they explore how our identity is found in our Creator not in comparison, culture, or accomplishments. When you know who He is, you’ll discover whose you are… and then you’ll know who you’re becoming and then ultimately what he asked for you to do!

Don’t Rush the Season: Trusting God’s Timing
In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my 14-year-old daughter, Eliza, to talk about something so many of us wrestle with - wanting to fast forward to the “next thing.” Eliza opens up about her desire to be where her older sisters are in life and the tension of feeling like she’s not there yet. Together, we explore what it means to not miss the season you’re in, how to stay present, and how to trust that God knows the desires of your heart and He’s not late.

You Get What You Look For: Lessons from New York
In this episode, we unpack our recent family trip to New York City and the powerful lessons that came with it. Before we left, we were met with fear-based warnings and “what ifs”… but what we found when we arrived was something completely different. From walking through Manhattan to taking in the lights of Times Square, we talk about how fear tries to steal joy before it even begins and how to overcome it with faith, discernment, and trusted counsel. We share how important it is to step through fear, not sit in it, and how to live by wisdom not worry. You’ll hear why “you get what you look for” has become a new family motto, and how this trip reminded us to assume the best in people, not the worst. This is a conversation about mindset, courage, and choosing to see the good, even when others tell you to be afraid.

Who Is She Becoming When She Stops Comparing?
Today’s episode is a special one … my 14-year-old daughter Eliza joins me for her very first podcast! We dive into a topic every young woman (and let’s be honest, every woman in general) faces: comparison. We talk about how comparison is the thief of joy, how it shows up in our lives, and what we can do to work through it. Eliza shares her own thoughts as a teenager navigating school, social media, friendships and what it means to grow confident in who God says you are. This is a fun conversation about learning to recognize your value, speak truth over your thoughts, and stop letting someone else’s highlight reel steal your joy. Whether you’re 14 or 40, this one’s for you.

So You Want to Be an Influencer?
Everyone wants to be an influencer these days… but have you stopped to ask: “Why?” In today’s episode, we dive into a powerful conversation about what it truly means to influence others. Is it about popularity? Platform? Followers? Or is it about pointing people somewhere that actually matters? We ask the real questions: ⚡ Why do you want to be an influencer? ⚡ What are you influencing people toward? ⚡ Are you leading… or just following trends? ⚡ Are you influencing others or being influenced without even realizing it? We share our own thoughts on expectations, pressures, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice in today’s world … big or small. If you’ve ever said, “I want to be an influencer,” this episode is for you. And if you’re already influencing others (hint: you are), it’s time to get clear on what you’re pointing them to.

The Rapture Didn’t Happen… But One Day It Will
The date came… and went. Some thought the rapture would happen on September 23. It didn’t. But it reminded us of something deeply important: Jesus is coming back. In this episode, we talk about what it means to live prepared - not in fear, but in faith. We unpack the parable of the ten virgins and what it means to keep your oil lamps full in a world full of distractions and noise. ✨ How do we stay ready? ✨ What does “oil” represent in our daily walk? ✨ And how do we live with urgency without getting caught in fear or speculation? This is a wake-up call not to panic, but to press in, stay alert, and live with purpose. You don’t have to know the day or hour to live like He’s coming tomorrow.
