Still hammering out how to get my podcasts recorded while working full time and doing all the family things. This episode didn't turn out too bad as far as sound. I do apologize for a few background noises! Also I'm trying out a new format and

52: Asking for Help

Apr 9th, 2018 30m 51s

*This is definitely a gender-neutral episode!* (also, I'm back to my prior graphic; which do you like better?) Recording a podcast in my car! You do what you have to do. The more I do this the better it will get, I promise! #soundquality This

51: All This Grace

Feb 14th, 2018 27m 6s

First podcast episode back after way too long of a break! It takes me a few minutes to get back into the swing of things (and I have to apologize for the pops and sub-par sound quality!), but eventually I find my groove. Catching you up to spe

50: Baptized Into Christ, Interview with Pastor Jordan Cooper

Oct 12th, 2017 51m 54s

49: What Does the Gospel Package Include?

Sep 29th, 2017 37m 20s

48: God Is in the Business of Restoration

Sep 19th, 2017 34m 40s

You don't have to listen to 46: My Christ and My Chaos episode before you listen to this one, but this show technically is a response to that episode. Seriously it's won't ruin the experience, but I thought I should mention it. The Mess In tha

47: Here I Stand

Sep 7th, 2017 28m 58s

Welcome to the fall 2017 season of She Finds Truth! Calling this a "season" plus I'm giving it a theme! I know. It's so much excitement. ;) I'm going with the theme Here I Stand, which I know is kindof cliche but I can't resist. It's too approp

46:My Chaos and My Christ

Jun 17th, 2017 27m 42s

Things are going good! It's weird! lol I talk about a blog post I published this week where I process why things are going good. There's less chaos in my head and it's somewhat confusing! Is it imposter syndrome? Is it denial? Hey! Maybe it'

45: Work Heartily As For The Lord

Jun 2nd, 2017 29m 58s

44: Parents Aren't Perfect

May 17th, 2017 29m 11s

Things I'm thinking about this week... Mother's Day can be hard. Some parents are toxic. So I talk about both of these things. Why we should consider being sensitive about Mother's Day, in case you are oblivious that reality exists for some. I

43: Life & Scripture: Rich & Complicated

May 11th, 2017 28m 58s

In today's episode I ponder the richness and complicated-ness (is that a word?) of life. Between feeling vulnerable, having to push through the drudgery of a tough weekend... to the joy of watching people fulfill their vocations effectively. An

42: Grace & Consequence in Real Life

Apr 25th, 2017 41m 37s

In which I take a few minutes to welcome the new listeners, and talk about why the church needs to be talking more about mental health. Then I tackle the concept of GRACE in our parenting and in our dealings with other humans (not God). Here's

41: God's Promises & My Valley

Apr 19th, 2017 29m 21s

This week I ignored the alarms going off in my head and I posted on the blog about how crappy I've been feeling and what kind of anxiety and maybe even depression I've been toying with. It's nothing like some people have to face, which is one r

40: Stay with Me

Mar 21st, 2017 28m 54s

Today's episode attempts to look at John 15:1-11. I used to cringe when I heard the word "abide." Why? Because it scared me. Take a listen to find out what my messed up deal was. I mention some writing stuff at the start of the show including

39: Being Human

Mar 7th, 2017 33m 23s

Lent has me reflecting on Jesus and His life here on earth. His humanity. There's a lot to being human, isn't there?! So I share some very real life stories you might be able to relate to. Then look at how the real life story of Jesus is so r

38: God's Grace & Healing After Sexual Assault

Feb 14th, 2017 58m

This is episode #2 in my series about sexual assault where we dive into the spiritual implications of it. Episode #1 can be found here! This is a deep, complicated topic, so I brought in someone with experience in the trenches, Heidi Goehmann (

37: Are You Good Enough?

Jan 30th, 2017 35m 18s

I saw a very nice happy meme that said YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH and was supposed to make me feel better and encourage me after I had a rough time with something. But it just makes me feel squirmy. Because I know I'm NOT good enough. In this episo

36: The Problem with Women's Bible Studies

Jan 21st, 2017 46m 15s

Women's Bible studies are a surprisingly controversial topic in Christian conversations. You'd think they would be a no-brainer, but instead it can be divisive and complicated. In today's episode I address the elephant in the room when it come

35: God Here With Me

Jan 11th, 2017 32m 20s

How is God WITH me? Recently when I was trying to clarify what my podcast and blog are all about, I ended up with a chart. It's been pretty helpful in reminding me of all that God offers me and how I have access to those things in the incred

34: Christmastide & the New Year

33: Without This Ring, A Conversation with Donna Pyle

Dec 6th, 2016 57m 24s

When I opened Donna Pyle's book Without This Ring: Surviving Divorce to prepare for our interview, I was not prepared for how powerful her story and guidance would be. Silly of me since I'm a big fan of Donna's and I know she brings authenticit

032: Loving and Serving My Neighbor Who Has Been Sexually Assaulted, Part I

Dec 2nd, 2016 49m 59s

It is my position that the church needs to be having a louder and more productive and useful conversation about sexual assault and what we can do to serve our neighbors who have faced such experiences. This is part I in a series I'm doing where

031: What Does It Mean To "Be The Light"?

Nov 18th, 2016 36m 20s

Am the only one who feels a lot of pressure that I'm supposed to "be the light"? Maybe I should just quit whining and do what needs done, but I'd also like to know what it means for sure to be the light. Today I hash through this after having h

030: Now What? Our Everyday Reality as Christians

Nov 2nd, 2016 44m 20s

As a young adult Christian I was constantly wondering what my life was supposed to look like as a follower of Christ. My everyday life. How does one "serve Christ," really, with all these distractions? What careers count? I definitely wanted to

029: Grownup Friendship Goals

Sep 19th, 2016 42m 31s

Most of us have had a series of friendships that can bring up a whole host of emotions when we think about them. It occurred to me recently that some of us (me included!) might not be approaching our friendships intentionally as grownups. I thi
