What happens when cultural obsession with youth collides with Christian values? Turning 45 has me thinking deeply about aging in a society where Americans outspend the entire world on anti-aging products and procedures. This deeply personal episode explores the crossroads many women face when staring at new wrinkles in the mirror or scrolling through filtered social media perfection.

After years of prayer and reflection, I'm sharing the five compelling reasons behind my commitment to age gracefully - from avoiding all-consuming beauty pursuits to modeling authentic womanhood for my daughters. We'll tackle some uncomfortable questions: Are our beauty decisions driven by insecurity or cultural pressure? Are we investing more in our appearance than our relationship with God? And what message are we sending to younger women watching our choices?

The aging journey isn't always smooth - I openly share my struggles with changing appearance and moments of temptation to pursue interventions. Yet there's profound freedom in finding contentment with our natural selves. Whether you're young and already feeling the pressure to "prevent" aging, or further along wondering what measures to take, this conversation offers thoughtful guidance without judgment.

Join me as we explore what Scripture says about true beauty, the power of contentment, and finding peace in each stage of life. As we navigate these waters together, remember: life doesn't end when we no longer look twenty, and there's beauty waiting to be discovered in every season.

We as humans were created to depend on God. But we (more specifically, Americans) don’t like to feel dependent on anyone. In this episode we’ll talk through how dependency is actually a good thing. God is our good shepherd who will care for us and we can find rest in him, in any storm.

If you haven’t read of the book of James very much, you should. It is chock full of truth and application for our lives as Christians. Some of it can be hard to read if you end up feeling convicted like I did. More specifically for me was the part about what comes out of our mouths. In this episode we’ll talk about what is at the root of our speech, just how powerful our words are and the importance of being doers of the word.
