Tried another Bible reading plan and fallen off track again?

If every failed attempt feels like more proof you don't love God enough, I want to stop you right there: That's not what's actually happening, and this episode will show you why.

So many of us have been handed a pre-made Bible reading plan, told to stick to it through sheer willpower, and then quietly assumed we're the problem when it doesn't work.

In this episode, I'm walking through my own Bible reading journey (spoiler: it has looked completely different in nearly every season of my life) and I'm showing you how to build a Bible reading routine that's actually designed around your real, busy life instead of someone else's.

In this episode, we talk about:
• How often you need to read the Bible (what Scripture actually says, not just what you've been told)
• The real reason your Bible reading plan keeps falling apart (hint: it's not a discipline problem)
• Why you need to consider your current season and preferences before building a plan (and how to do that)
• A simple five-question framework for creating a Bible reading routine you'll actually stick with
• Why falling off track doesn't mean you have to wait for a "clean slate" to start again

You are not a failure, and you don't love God any less because consistency feels hard. You just need a plan that was actually built for your real, chaotic, beautiful life. And that's exactly what we're building today.

Somewhere between the laundry, the carpool line, and the bedtime routine, have you quietly started to believe your life doesn't matter that much right now?

You're not forgettable, and you don't have to wait until the kids are grown to start living out your God-given purpose.

In this episode, I'm walking through some of the biggest lies we believe about calling: that only certain kinds of women get one, that yours is on hold until this season ends, or that if you haven't figured it out by now, you've already missed your window. (Spoiler: None of that is true, and I'll show you why straight from Scripture.) We're also picking apart Ephesians 2:10 and what it really means that you were created on purpose for a purpose.

In this episode, we talk about:
• The biggest misconceptions about God's calling on your life (and why they're keeping you stuck)
• Why your calling isn't "on hold" until the kids are older
• The difference between a big, visible purpose and a quiet, faithful one, and why both count
• Seven simple questions from Follow God's Will to help you figure out what's actually yours to carry right now
• Why God already knew every part of your current season before He called you to it
• You don't need the whole plan today. You just need the next small step, and the confidence that you're already valuable, because God created you on purpose for a purpose.

Exhausted from trying to juggle being the perfect Christian, wife, mom, and friend -- while also working, taking care of the house, and the 100 other things you have to do on any given day?

The problem isn't just that you're doing too much (as we discussed in the previous episode). It's that you don't have a filter to determine what God is actually asking YOU to do... and what He isn't.

The good news? Finding God's unique will for YOUR life is a lot easier than you might think and it makes everything SO much easier.

In this episode, I'm sharing the "perfect day" story that made my husband say "your math isn't adding up" (he wasn't wrong). We're picking back up with the Pharisees, who tried to follow over 600 rules and completely missed the point, and looking at how Jesus answered the exact question you're probably asking right now about God's will: what actually matters most?

In this episode, we talk about:
• Why chasing "good enough" at faith, marriage, and parenting all at once keeps you stuck
• The simple two-part filter Jesus gave us for figuring out God's will
• Big C calling vs. little C calling (and why you already know your Big C calling)
• How to tell if something is truly loving God and others, or just another "should"
• Real, everyday examples, like a hard conversation or a nap, that already count as living out your calling
• Why your family isn't standing in the way of your purpose, it often is your purpose

You don't have to keep guessing whether you're measuring up. God's will for your life is simpler than the checklist you've been carrying, and you're already living more of it than you give yourself credit for.
