Hi everyone! Nothing makes me happier than sitting down with a friend, putting the fluffy things aside, and having real conversations about the hard things we've walked through. That's how we grow, learn, and can praise God for the work he has done in each of our lives. This week I sat down with one of my dearest friends, Ashton Phelps, and we talked about her journey with mental health, alcohol, and sobriety over the past few years. We also talked about what it looks like to support and show up for our sober friends or those battling with substance abuse. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! In this episode, I share some of my unfiltered thoughts on the recent shooting in Buffalo, New York, how to keep yourself sane when the news/social media is only telling you bad news, and on social media, influencing, + being present off-line. It's a big melting pot, but my prayer in all of it is that there would be something that encourages or inspires you! I hope you will join me in praying for the families that have been hit by the recent gun violence tragedies, that God would draw near to those who mourn, for a collective repentance in our nation from power, idolatry, and greed, and for us to continue to cling to the faithfulness of God even in the face of seemingly hopeless circumstances.
