The Notice

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, “let's agree to disagree.” But does that really work? In this ever-changing world of perspectives and values, how do we represent God even when we disagree? Join me for this episode where we discuss how to lovingly disagree with excerpts from Mike Donehey’s book, Grace in the Grey. We explore curiosity, self-awareness, humility, and being open to new ways of noticing God during disagreements. 

Do you or a loved one struggle with your mental health? Do you find yourself wondering how to support others who do? Listen in as I talk with mental wellness advocate Amy Zabel. Join us as she shares her personal struggle, how easy it is to be misunderstood, and how to take notice of God's presence on the path to mental wellness.

What do I need to make it through the transitions of life? Where is God during difficult seasons? How do we remain encouraged while things change all around us? Listen in as guest Julie Eickenroth from Freedom Farm Ministries and I discuss different seasons, how we can experience God through the changes of life. You'll hear about this theme for our upcoming retreat at Maple Ridge PLACE.

Gratefulness.  Can we really live thankful?  Join me as I talk with Jane Cavender, radio host and new author of the devotional Living Thankful Today. We talk about what it means to be thankful, the challenges of living grateful, and how important it is to “take notice”. 

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 where I share musings about “the smartest person in the room” and how taking notice helps us mature in our relationship with God, self, and others.
