Well, let's just JUMP right in to the deep end!

When I said I wanted to have raw, real, and HONEST conversations...THIS is EXACTLY what I meant!

As Christians, we throw verses like Philippians 4:6 around - pray about everything...but do you we REALLY mean it? Or do we just say it for the "BIG" things? I've got news for you...the intimacy in your marriage is a BIG thing!

Let's rip this bandaid off, because there's more where this comes from!

Maybe...grab your earbuds for this one!

I've literally been waiting MONTHS for this one!!! Today, I'm sharing two of my dearest friends with you and we're talking all about FRIENDSHIP. The REAL, RAW, AND HONEST kind of friendship. What's amazing is how each of us had been praying, separately, for deep friendships...and the Lord answered!

I hope you're blessed and encouraged by our conversation.

Also, if you absolutely love this episode and want to hear more from Jen and Staci...please shoot me a message!

Hey there friend!

It's really great to see you here! Whether you're new here or been around for a while, I couldn't be more thrilled and honored that you've chosen to take a listen.

Here's the thing...no matter what's going on in your life I hope you find hope and encouragement through this podcast, not because of the words I'm saying, but because of Jesus Christ! It is my deepest prayer that you see Christ first and always in all that I do.

Hebrews 3:1 tells us that those of us who share in the heavenly calling are to CONSIDER JESUS. He is the ultimate High Priest. He is the one we take everything to. And it is because of His life, death, and resurrection that we have HOPE of eternity. I want to encourage you and challenge you through each episode to CONSIDER JESUS in all of it! We're going to talk about things that just don't get discussed in polite Christian circles. I'm always down to rip the bandaid off and start talking about some of those "taboo" topics.

Grab that coffee beeping at you from the microwave, stick your earbuds in, and get ready to start being comfortable with being uncomfortable!

It is not lost on me that you have so many options of who and what to listen to!

This is just a little teaser of what's to come.

I don't know about you, but there are times when it seems like everyone else seems to be living an idyllic life...everyone but me! Social media tends to paint a picture of these beautiful, easy lives void of suffering and disappointments. Part of my brain knows that's a lie and not reality, but then there's this part of me that can fall into the trap that it's real. Today, I'm talking with my friend (and my kids' high school pastor) about SUFFERING! Sadly, I think it's something we shy away from - I mean...who wants to sit around and talk about the disappointments and pain of life!? Well, as believers we need to understand what the Lord says about suffering, how to suffer, and how to honor Him in the process. There is HOPE! A lot of HOPE! And as discouraging as this topic may sound...I pray you walk away encouraged!

We're definitely going a little against the grain and celebrating mamas AFTER Mother's Day! But, let's be real...we can use encouragement every day of the week!

If you're a mama...this is for you!

Sometimes it's the simplest things that have the most profound effect on me and my walk with Jesus. This is one of those times. The Lord put a simple question on my heart and it's been making me think ever since.

So...if you're ready for simple, yet thought provoking questions...hop in to today's episode!

See ya inside!

Today on GATG we're talking about our weaknesses and how, as a Christian, it's so good to be reminded that they are a good thing. They are meant to point us to Christ. It's one of those things that we probably say and agree with, but then when the rubber hits the road, the bottom falls out, life is insanely hard, or maybe you throw your back out and your forced to ask yourself if you actually believe what you too eagerly agree with!

Yes...that was a run-on sentence, but no one's grading me, so I'm totally ok with it!

Hop in and take a listen. I'd love to hear your REAL LIFE examples of when the Lord has reminded you that those weaknesses are actually an opportunity to see HIS goodness and mercy!

See ya inside! xx, Michelle
