Trusting God by Jeff Bridges
Shania discusses what she’s been learning from her morning devotion. Trusting God in the midst of our troubles and trials is one of the hardest things to do. God is a good God, and an all powerful God even if we don’t see it or feel it. He is in control over all things, even the bad things that happen to us. I hope this short episode encourages you today as it encouraged me as I was reading it.

Christian Dating: The good, the bad, and the scary
Do people date to fufill their own needs? How did we get to this selfish dating mindset? These are some questions we discuss in today's episode.
Mikala opens up about dating and how it’s uncovered lots of anxious thoughts, worries, and fears she has. We discuss some of the pressures of dating in the Church today, whether we believe in soulmates, not feeling “ready” for marriage, and the tools/advice we’ve found helpful to navigate dating

Struggles with Singleness. And do people fight for their marriages anymore?
I know... it's been a while but we finally uploaded singleness part two!! Today we hear Shania talk about her struggles with singleness, and how her parents divorce affected her. We talk about generational sins and wonder are people fighting for their marriages anymore?
We continue this conversation of singleness and discuss important reminders that help us switch our focus from earthly things to eternal things and share from our own journal entries on how God helps us in the "waiting seasons."

Wedding season Journey with bride + MOH
Wedding season is in full bloom here and we had a lot of fun reminiscing on wedding mishaps, stressors, and funny stories! Whether you're single, engaged, married, or a bridesmaid, wedding season can be overwhelming for anyone but the hope is you join us for some laughs as we reflect on these memories and the things we learned throughout this process.
Shania got married this last February and Mikala was her MOH. Neither of them had ever been a bridesmaid or part of any wedding in such a huge way. They learned a lot. Hopefully you can relate with them during the craziness that is wedding planning.

Our current Anxious thoughts! How we cope with them...
Shania & Mikala share their current anxious thoughts that have filled their minds with worry/stress recently. They discuss anxious thoughts over jobs and careers, current and future relationships, money concerns, fear of change, "am I ready for..." and how we rely on Christ to help keep us grounded when these thoughts overwhelm us. We don't have all the answers that's not what this space is meant for. So if you've been feeling weighed down by your own "anxious thoughts" we hope you'll join us in rest & reflect.

The Importance of Godly community
We will discuss the blessings of Godly community. Specifically, being surrounded by christian friends of the same age/stage of life. What is Godly community and why is it so important? What does community look like within the church? How do I make friends in my 20s when I’m in a totally new season of life? How do we find mentors? We’ll discuss it all here at Rest & Reflect. Biblical community has made a huge impact in our lives, so we hope and encourage you to find Godly community for yourself.
We are so excited to start this new adventure! In this episode, we introduce ourselves, the reason behind why we started this podcast, and our hopes as we encourage you and others through different seasons of life. We make a lot of “tsks” and “umms” this episode, so please bear with us as we’re still learning! Thank you so much for listening!
