Lessons from soaring: A new word for a new year

I fell into a rhythm in December. I didn't make any real plans or resolutions. I didn't chart a path. I laced up my running shoes and headed out my front door with one thing in mind: soul care. After an intense year, I knew I needed to change my pace. This year my husband and I wrote and launched a book baby. We started a podcast while both of [...] Keep Reading

Walk Run Soar: Walking with Jesus as our Pacer

When the sheltering-at-home orders began in March, we found ourselves together in the house all day long. On many spring and summer nights after dinner, I’d look at my husband and three daughters and say, “Let’s go for a walk.” I may have well been saying, “I need to get out of here.” And my people all understood. We would slip into flip [...] Keep Reading

Walk, Run, Soar: Run not just for exercise but also to worship

One of my favorite running heroes is a man named Eric Liddell (known as the Flying Scotsman). Eric was a sprinter who inspired the Oscar-winning movie Chariots of Fire.

Walk Run Soar: Less flapping, more soaring

For the last several weeks, our air has been smoky in Central California because of the fires chasing up and down our state. We have been forced to stay inside for many days. This was a little harder to swallow after five months of sheltering at home due to the global pandemic. My husband Shawn and I decided to take our three daughters and my [...] Keep Reading

My heart is full after a week of teaching, preaching, and listening to the stories of the beautiful women of my church. We are going through a study called Foundations written by our pastor @bell_brad

I got to teach on this week’s theme, “Sharing Your Story,” and illuminated the powerful testimonies of three women in the Bible who met Jesus, were transformed by His love, and then were sent out to share their stories.

In our small group time, women were invited to share their 3-minute stories around the tables. There were lots of tears, but also laughter and breakthroughs.

✍🏾Did you know God designed our bodies so that physiological healing happens in sharing our stories? Trauma can get dislodged from places it might be stuck in our brains and new pathways are formed.
