   Ep. 63 - What Are We Letting Shape Us?

   In Episode 63 of Becoming & Purpose, I’m talking about discernment and the things that shape us without us always realizing it. This episode came from two completely different situations that happened within about a day of each other. One was seeing a local Facebook post where a mother was asking for help finding her son and watching the comments turn into criticism instead of compassion. The other was realizing that a song playing in my own living room sounded upbeat and harmless, but the message underneath it was something I completely missed until Roman pointed it out. Both situations made me think about the same question: What are we allowing to shape us, and what are we putting back out into the world? I talk about how growing in faith can change what we notice, why discernment is not the same thing as fear or judgment, and why what we watch, listen to, scroll past, laugh at, and repeat can slowly influence the way we think. I also talk about the responsibility we have as parents to help our kids recognize the messages they are absorbing without trying to isolate them from everything. We look at Ephesians 4:29, Romans 12:2, and Philippians 4:8 as we talk about what comes into our minds, what comes out of our mouths, and how spending more time with God can slowly change our instincts. This episode is not about creating a giant list of what Christians are allowed to watch or listen to. It is about learning to ask better questions, paying attention to our conscience, and making sure discernment is making us more like Jesus, not just more critical of everyone else.

   Ep. 62 - Stop Holding the Door Open

   In Episode 62 of Becoming & Purpose, I’m talking about something that really came together for me after spending the weekend at a women’s conference at Grace City Church in Wenatchee. I had already been wrestling with purpose, career, motherhood, homeschooling, and the constant feeling that maybe I should be doing something more. Then I went to this conference and heard so many things that connected directly with what I had just been thinking and talking about on the podcast. The biggest realization I came home with was this: I don’t have to give up ambition, business, or the possibility of a career. I can still build something meaningful and contribute financially. But I do need to remember where those things belong. For me, the order is God first, then my marriage, then my kids, and then everything else. Career can absolutely be part of the “everything else,” but it can’t continually pull me away from the things I already know matter most. I also talk about what it means to stop mentally holding a door open just in case something better comes along, and instead trust that if God wants to open that door, He is fully capable of doing it in His timing. We look at Matthew 6:33, Ephesians 5:15–17, and Ephesians 2:10 as we talk about priorities, wisdom, purpose, and trusting God with the timing of what comes next. Mini lesson: three questions to sit with this week 1. What has God already made clear in this season? Who has He entrusted to you? What responsibilities are clearly yours right now? 2. What has been getting your best attention? What occupies your thoughts, energy, planning, and focus most often? 3. Is there something you’re trying to keep available because you’re afraid that if you stop controlling it, you’ll miss your chance? Is there a door you may need to stop holding open and trust God with instead? This episode isn’t about giving up on ambition. It’s about putting ambition in the right place and trusting God enough to be fully present in the life He has already given you.

   Ep. 61 - What If the Calling Is Already in Front of You?

   In Episode 61 of Becoming & Purpose, I’m talking about something I’ve wrestled with a lot: purpose, work, calling, and the pressure to figure out what I’m “supposed” to be doing. This week, I started realizing that maybe part of recognizing God’s direction is being willing to stop looking past the life He has already placed in front of us. Sometimes we pray for clarity while secretly expecting the answer to look a certain way, and when it doesn’t, we can miss what God may already be doing. I talk about the tension between wanting to build something meaningful, contribute financially, homeschool, be present with my family, and not constantly feel like I need to add another thing to prove that I’m doing enough. I also share what I’ve been learning about trusting God’s direction when it looks different from the plan I had in my head. We look at Proverbs 3:5–6, Proverbs 16:9, and Colossians 3:23–24 as we talk about trusting God, making plans without clinging to them, and being faithful with what is already in front of us. If you’ve been asking, “What am I supposed to do?” this episode is for you. Maybe the next step is not somewhere far away. Maybe the calling is already closer than you think.
