Creating a Positive Marriage with Bob Flayhart

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/05/06

Culturally, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the pointof marriage is to make us happy. Now, no one has made me happier than my husband, but even more importantly (as in any of our relationships), marriage has been teaching me to love more like Christ. Sometimes, I watch myhusband’s positive example, and at other times I have to give up what I want for what someone else needs. The wild thing I’ve noticed is the way God’s upside-downkingdom shows up in my marriage. I’m not less happy when I am

Dealing with Conflict in Marriage with Bob Flayhart

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/04/29

For our legacy of faith series, we will talk about both marriage and singleness in the church. Marriage is such a massive topic that I spent probably the most time praying over it while trying to decide whom to invite to talk to me about it. Then I remembered the conversation I had with Pastor Bob Flayhart on "Recovering from Anger in Parenting" and knew I wanted him to apply that same method for us to Marriage. Marriage is less about finding the "perfect match" and more about trying to "out do one

Faith When Life Goes Sideways with Katie Blackburn

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/04/22

As Christians, we want to, as the old saying goes, "Walk the walk not just talk the talk." But along the way there are often "It's not supposed to be this way" moments. The hardest ones are the ones that are entirely out of our control. Looking toward those we can either live in constant anxiety or open our hands to know that God will give us the grace to handle what comes next. When battling anxiety for the future, the most encouraging thing for me is hearing the stories of

I don’t know what your experience has looked like, but for a lot of us, coaching our kids through the teen years makes us nervous. Especially knowing if handled well, it’s also a pivotal time of faith formation. So I'm chatting with Jen Oshman about what it's been like to raise her daughters and watch them walk forward into adult life.

2025/04/01

In the next few weeks, we are digging into our faith more deeply. Last week we kicked off a brand-new project called the “Legacy of Faith” series. I've hand-picked people I respect most for each topic, so I'd love it if you invite a friend to join you, and let’s grow to be more like Christ together. I don’t know what your experience looked like, but for a lot of us middle school sucked. The proof of that will come out in some stories today. But it’s also a pivotal time of faith formation

We are back this week to keep talking about what itlooks like to live a Legacy of Faith. Last week we talked about what it looks like when kids love Jesus really young. If you’re like me maybe you’ve struggled with not having a “fancy” testimony. Abbey and I talked about the benefit of exposing little ones to faith from a young age and if you’re an adult in the life of a kid what a gift that is to give them. This week we are going to talk about how practically we point kids to faith! If you want to

If you listen to this podcast, I know you’re the kind of woman who wants to dig into her faith more deeply. I want to more-systematically help you do that! I’ve been working on a brand-new project called the “Legacy of Faith” series. Over the next several episodes, we are going to walk through the life of a woman of faith womb to tomb. Walking out faith is compared in the New Testament as a race. We would never dream of waking up one morning and just going to run a marathon. We would learn about

God of Promise: You Are Free of Guilt Under His Grace!

2025/03/06

He put his Spirit on them to guide them. Before the law was taught to people and it was a standard to which they were held. Now the law of God was written on their hearts. God’s Spirit was in them to whisper conviction of sin, but also to cause his nature to grow from them. We see in Galatians 5:22-23 that what grows from a person who is marked by the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience... etc.At the creation of this new covenant, Jesus sat with his disciples, ate with them, and gave them a new

126. Lift Your Eyes and Find His Rest with Whitney Newby

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/03/04

The other day someone posted something like "If you'll just take the time to get organized, life will be easier." Usually, I would find that to be true and agree with it. When I read the post, I had spent 6 hours the day before cleaning, and looked around me; kid clutter was everywhere. The daily demands of motherhood at face value don't seem like much, but like a steady dripping, it can become overwhelming. I've followed Whitney for a while and know not everything has been easy for her, but it's

God of Promise: What A Creepy Old West Town Taught Me...

2025/02/27

In David, we find a “type.” God sets him up as king and a good kingdom on earth to show us what he wants to do in Heaven. Under the first half of David’s rule, people find peace, prosperity, and justice. But we also see David sin dramatically and the peace is broken. We are left longing for a true and better king!When we understand this promise of “kingdom” to David it allows us to better understand our longing for perfect leadership. But we realize we can’t ever find this fulfilled in human form

125. So, What’s the Deal with Lent? with Amy Gannett

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/02/25

I did not grow up in a tradition that practiced Lent, and honestly, I've not read or studied anything about it as a practice. What I do know is a lot of people announce they are giving social media up for Lent, and I know it is the time that leads up to Easter. It seems kind of like Advent, but I could be totally off. When I saw Amy Gannett had written a resource for lent I wanted to learn all about it, but rather than just voice messaging her all my questions I thought it might be fun to learn

God of Promise: What is there to love about the law?

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/02/20

The beautiful thing about the law is that it gives a glimpse of what God values. In it is love, justice, and peace. It leads us to a better relationship with God and one another. But we can’t live it perfectly.What Romans shows us is that the law does something even more beautiful for us now. It shows us the gifts we are given in Christ. We are no longer held back by the law alone but empowered into growth by the Holy Spirit. Through God’s work, we more naturally produce the Fruit of the Spirit.SHOW

124. How to Find the Best Kid's Books with Amber Johnson

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/02/18

Last time Amber and I talked she taught me the concept of literature being "mirrors and windows." That means the gift we get through books is our own experiences reflected(mirrors), but they also allow us to peek into someone else's world (windows). Viewing books this way has made me better balance the selections I'm choosing to read, so they feel like they belong, but also develop empathy! I noticed you've featured in your work "mirrors and windows" again but now you've also added "sliding glass

As our verse reveals, on this side of eternity we feel homeless. We long for something, someone, or someplace better. Jesus’ death to take the punishment of the broken covenant, allows us the favor of all that was promised.

Our homes have become places where we go to escape the rest of the world. A phrase I heard a few weeks ago has stuck with me as we are experiencing "self-imposed solitude." With that mentality has come rising depression. Our homes have gotten bigger, but the entertaining spaces aren't. Our private areas are expanding. Let's explore what it would look like to reclaim the historic view of discipleship would mean for modern believers! You can find Phylicia Masonheimer book

God of Promise: My Mind Blowing Moment

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2025/01/30

When God came in the cool of the evening he told them their rebellion would bring death, pain, and corruption. Then God killed a lamb (sacrifice), provided clothes to cover them(memorial), and made a promise. One would come who would defeat the power of the serpent. Because of Genesis 3:25, Psalm 91 makes sense. God isn’t promising we will never face trouble, but that he will be our ultimate deliverer. He did the work of conquering evil on our behalf and the cost fell on him. He was bruised so we
