S2E9: Fear & Stillness

Do you struggle with fear? On today's episode, I'm talking about fear regarding relationship with family and friends. I have come to find that it's in stillness with God where fears are calmed, where I can truly say "it is well with my soul," where I can walk with confidence because God is holding everything together. I don't know about you, but I don't want fear to lead to unhealthy emotions such as anger or bitterness. So I hope you'll take a listen and hear my heart, and t

S2E8: Learning To Be Still with guest Megan Ericson

In this episode, Megan and I talk about how stillness can be difficult in the busy seasons. Between children and work and projects on their fixer upper, Megan approaches this topic of stillness with honesty. She doesn't have it figured out and neither do I. Does anybody, really? Since none of us are experts when it comes to being still, maybe we can all just learn together in this episode. Links & Resources: Megan Ericson: Website Instagram Minimalist Moms: Podcast #pod

S2E7: 10 Ways To Create Stillness

Life moves way too quickly. They say the days are long but the years are short, and I wholeheartedly agree. That's why I need stillness, because I don't want to be in such a rush that I miss it all. I already know that one day I'll look back and this season of my life will be a blur, so I want to have moments where I take in this one life I'm living in the present, not somewhere down the road. I want to breath deeply, to seek the beauty of holiness, to calm the worry over thi

S2E6: Forced To Be Still with guest Terri Conlin

For the month of September, we are talking all about stillness on Making the Time podcast! Making time for stillness can be so difficult. There is always so much going on, and if we're not careful, we find that from the moment we rise to the moment we lay down, we have rushed through the day and haven't made time to stop and simply 'be.' In this episode, Terri tells us about a time when her family was forced to be still and a few things she did to create stillness in her life

S2E5: Choosing Hope and Joy Again

Life is hard. Just as we get used to life being one way, something changes. As we end out the theme of endings for the month of August, can we have hopeful vision even if we are facing an ending to one part of our lives right now? On this episode, we answer the when, why, and how on choosing hope and joy again. My husband and I talk together about the miscarriage we went through and how I found hope in such a hard ending.

Episode 17: The End Of Ourselves with guest Emily Allen

Parenting is hard and requires sacrifice. Emily Allen, podcast host for Kindred Mom and Mama to six children, talks a bit about what coming to the end of herself looks like as well as how she makes time for herself. You'll hear about how she stopped her business to focus on her children after feeling stretched too thin. I talk briefly about what the Bible teaches us about coming to the end of ourselves, but then we segue into what the Bible says about making time for ourselve

Episode 16: Unexpected Endings with guest Wesley Hughes

In this episode, my husband shares the story of losing his leg to a skiing accident and his dad to cancer all within 10 years. In the continuing of life, I sometimes forget just how much my man has been through. Yet he lives without complaint, works hard, serves in our local church, and treats me and his little girls like queens. I hope you are encouraged upon hearing his testimony.

Episode 15: Empty Nest or Full Nest with guest Laura Thomas

Laura: "All those years in diapers and doing the menial things, which, you feel like plucking your eyes out sometimes — nothing is wasted." Our very first guest on Making The Time Podcast is Laura Thomas. She lives in Canada and is originally from the UK, the author of several books for young adults, and an almost "empty" nester. I think you'll discover that her life is far from empty. She's confident and full of wisdom, and I think you will love listening to her accent. Laur

Episode 13: Trusting Your Story

Each of us have pieces of our story that are hard to tell, pieces that we'd rather forget. But oftentimes, it's those stories that point us toward hope, toward redemption, toward peace. I don't know what pain or suffering has you feeling trapped today. It may be something present or, as presented in this podcast, it may be a story that happened years ago that continues to disrupt your life. I hope this episode reminds you that you can trust your story and entrust your story t

Whatever your story and however you choose to tell it or not tell it, may this episode remind you that your story is unique and may be worth remembering. F

Episode 9: Music And Dreams

Ever wonder what the Bible really says about music? It's no wonder that there are many passionate opinions regarding music when it has the ability to evoke such emotion in just a few minutes. There is certainly music that we should listen to and music we should avoid. This podcast doesn't serve to boss your music list around, but to show you what positive music can do for your life and to show you an instance where God showed some of his glory after music was played in the Bi

Episode 8: Writing Dreams

You have a dream that won't go away. It's sort of a lingering goal, one you may or may not be taking baby steps toward. In this episode, I am talking about those kinds of dreams, the ones that seem impossible or far off, but ones you can't stop thinking about. I talk about a man who won four Olympic gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics despite the ridicule faced, despite Hitler's opposition himself. I don't mention Hitler in my podcast, but you can read the whole story wri

On the podcast this month, our theme "Be A Dreamer" will take a closer look into having goals and dreams and how those are okay when we choose to have the right attitude about them. In this episode, I talk specifically about disappointment versus contentment, how circumstances (perhaps dreams themselves) keep us from attaining other dreams, why I love to travel, the on

Episode 6: Loving Your Friends

As a child, I assumed that the friendships I held then would last forever. However, not all friendships are meant to last forever. We grow up, and then a combination of events happen. We may move away. We may get married. We may have children. And with added responsibility that comes with being an adult, we have less and less time for the friendships we once held. We grow and move on and make a few new friends in the process. However, we can still make the time for those long
