The season of Advent is an invitation—an opportunity to slow down and notice, to slow down and take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus’ birth, to reflect and anticipate. This Christmas may look different than you had hoped or planned, but Jesus is still the same. He has not changed, and He has never let us go.
I’m so excited to share this special episode of The Love Offering Podcast with you! Today, I’m chatting with my friend Brooke McGlothlin from Million Praying Moms about my new book, Everyday Prayers for Love. As we talk, we dive into some of the core themes from the book, including
Why prayer is such a powerful tool for navigating the challenges of motherhood and life, how living out the fruit of the Spirit can transform our daily interactions, the freedom that comes from fully understanding God’s lavish and unconditional love, and what it means to love our neighbors sacrificially, even when difficult. This conversation is so close to my heart, and I hope it encourages you to embrace God’s love in your life fully. Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice, an action, and a reflection of God’s heart in the world.
Do you long to feel closer to God? Are you searching for a faith that’s more than just going through the motions?
Let’s be honest: we often feel distant from God. We spend a lot more time looking like we’re faithful than living out a life-giving relationship. Our souls ache from the lack of intimacy. Something is missing. We know life isn’t supposed to be this way. What we really want is to know God and be known. We yearn for an honest, ongoing connection with God as a real person.
No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection.
Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift. Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies for dealing with them—usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them?
