4 years ago, the Lord allowed me to launch the Friend to Friend podcast with the help of Jennifer Beil our media director and Mindy Tingson our social media coordinator. This ministry began as my heart’s desire to partner with like-minded Christians, sharing their testimonies and biblical wisdom to equip and encourage the women of our church. It has been wonderful to see God use and bless my heart’s desire to reach listeners, many of which I will never meet this side of Heaven. We covered a vast...

Motherhood: God’s Greenhouse For Growth. Join me and 5 other guests as we share how motherhood has become a greenhouse of growth - a place of fruit and thorns, sowing and reaping, purging and cutting back. And for what purpose? To be grown in His likeness - our Shepherd and Savior, the Master Gardener, for in leading our children we become students led by His hand. Friends, in sharing these stories, I hope to give you the opportunity to say, “What?! You too? I thought I was the only one!” You ar...

As children, we often dream of what our lives will be and make plans for carefully scripted ideals. But we've all seen carefully scripted lives go off script - whether through tragedy or even unexpected blessings. When life goes off script, we are quick to wonder, “What is God doing? Why did he allow this?” Trials, especially, remind us that the we are not the author of our own stories. We can be tempted to question,“Is the Author trustworthy?” In today’s episode, Dan and Janice Wolfe share how ...

Parenting is such a gift but it is also not without its trials too. As believers, we know that it is through Christ that God wants to equip us to parent our children well. Galatians 5 tells us that as Christians we are to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Today, my guest Erica Lerisse joins me to share how the Lord is teaching her to parent in His power vs. the strength of her own flesh. We know that like Corrie Ten Boom once said, “I cannot but Jesus in me can!” Connect with us! friend2f...

Thanks for tuning in today for our second episode of Season 5, themed “I Cannot but Jesus in Me Can,” words that were once spoke by Holocaust survivor and Christian, Corrie Ten Boom. One of the greatest lessons that Corrie spoke of was that because of Christ in her, she was enabled to forgive one of her once Nazi captors. Corrie traveled the world for 30 plus years after the war sharing this lesson of forgiveness made possible through Christ. As Christians we can become equipped and enabled to e...

During the month of December my husband J.R. often preaches a series of Advent sermons that prepare our hearts so well to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. This past Sunday morning he preached the following sermon, “The Significance of the Swaddling Clothes” depicting the wondrous fullfilment of the prophesied Messiah - the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. I pray that like me you will find yourself moved to worship our Saviour, a miraculous gift to a sin-cursed people. Happy ...

Motherhood is not for the faint of the heart, nor for those without a sense of humor, but I’m learning that most of all, motherhood is not for the proud Christian: the woman who doesn’t realize how much she needs Jesus. I have learned that motherhood does not fit me when I am not fixed on Christ. My prayer today is that my testimony will allow you to say, “What? You too? I thought I was the only one?,” a place where C.S. Lewis said friendship is born. I pray that by listening you will be encoura...

Have you ever found yourself craving something new? Perhaps a fresh start in a new year, a new job, new relationships or a different season of life? I have often found myself discouraged by outer circumstances - craving something new, yet finding lack in everything around me. I find myself looking for new in all the wrong places. Like all of humanity, we demand new from life and end up disappointed in the vanity of what we thought would fulfill us… This past April I was invited to speak at a lad...
