Have you ever accomplished something, but you felt undeserving of it? Maybe you ignored a warning because you "already know," or brushed off a criticism because you felt you knew better?

Join me for this episode with Rachael Jenneman, author of the book, The Real War on Women: Overcoming Culture's Lies to Freely Live Out Your God-Given Purpose. We discuss this underlying battle and the victory we have when we notice what God calls us to do and begin to live out our purpose.
What does the bible mean when it says "do not judge"? Is there a difference between judgment and observation? Join me as I talk with Julie Eickenroth, Executive Director of Freedom Farm Ministries Grand Traverse. Julie is passionate about helping others understand how judgments can infiltrate our thinking and cause us pain in our relationships. Join us as we discuss how to take notice of God and enhance our relationships with others as we understand judgments as God intended.
As 2022 ends and 2023 begins, the new year often causes us to stop and reflect. Yes, reflect on what’s happened, but also reflect on what we hope will happen. On this episode, we will talk about how important reflection is, how we sometimes avoid it, and ways we can change our attitude towards it. Listen in, as we take notice of God through reflection.
Have you experienced a traumatic life event which completely changed you? Maybe it was a sudden illness, death, or accident. On today's episode, we are going to talk with pastor and author Anthony Weber. About six years ago, he unexpectedly suffered a heart attack that not only changed his perspective but helped him realize how much God takes notice.
What does it mean to be creative? What does it mean to reflect the creator? You’ll want to listen in on this conversation about creativity I had with singer-songwriter, teacher, and worship leader Justin Reid. We discuss God as creator, how we reflect God through creativity, and how God notices and delights in our creativity. If you are someone who is creative or loves a creative, you’ll want to give this episode a listen.
