Faith + Fitness Challenge: Why Spiritual & Physical Disciplines are Good for the Body & Soul
Your body needs movement. We were designed to be constantly moving. From the breath in our lungs, to the waves of the ocean to even the rotation of the Earth, movement is around us constantly. The only time we aren’t moving is when we’re dead. I think this says a lot about how God designed us and why it’s important to always be moving - moving your body and also moving your soul (growing). Spiritual movement is essential to becoming more intimate with Jesus. James says, “Fai

3 Ways to Steward Motherhood While Chasing Your Dreams
I want to encourage you to chase your dreams. Motherhood doesn't have to prevent you from doing the things you want. It changes the way you do them, but it doesn't have to dictate if you pursue them. Here are 3 tips that have helped me steward motherhood while pursuing my God-given dreams: Honor God with your time. Sitting down with God FIRST thing every day helps prioritize what you need to focus on that day. Reading Scripture reminds me to breathe, trust God with my time, a

Why Control for a Woman is a Strong Temptation
"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30 Women have two needs: security and safety. We want to feel secure in our bodies, image, status, reputation, and in our emotions and finances. We also desire safety. Safety where we live, in our decisions, and among people. It's no wonder women are less likely to be risk-takers than men. We like safe choices because safe choices = a secure future. But with these needs come

Adjusting to the Stay-at-Home Mom Role after Working a Corporate Job - What I Wish I Knew Beforehand
When I worked a full-time job, my purpose and identity came from the work I would produce. I found joy and fulfillment in career-focused performance. The hard part came when I stepped down and decided to stay home. The dynamic change from working full-time to staying home full-time felt like stepping out of the Sahara Desert and onto Antarctica. I was so used to work-work-work, go-go-go, produce-produce-produce, that I didn't know how to manage this new position. No one train

Rest, Refuel, & Reset - A Month of Prosperity through Doing Less Not Striving for More
What a month. January has been the best month I've had in a LONG time. Why? Because I'm focusing on doing only what God wants me to do in my current season. I struggle with wanting to do too much too fast. It's like I get the vision and immediately want to make it happen. But this is not how God operates. Often, He gives us a glimpse - an idea, and then prepares us step-by-step over a period of time to fulfill that dream. January 2026 has been different for numerous reasons.

What I Wish I Knew BEFORE Becoming an Entrepreneur's Wife: 5 Things I didn't Expect
If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be sitting in East Texas as a stay-at-home mom to an entrepreneur, I probably would have laughed. Although I have always desired to work with my husband, I never imagined it'd be through business. I honestly thought we'd be doing ministry together. But God has a way of taking our predictions and shaping them in a way that still fulfills our godly desires but looks nothing like we imagined. Becoming an Entrepreneur's Wife has been o

What Being an Entrepreneur's Wife is NOT
I have been an entrepreneur's wife for almost 4 years now. There are many highs: flexibility in your husband's schedule, fun conversations about the business, dreaming of future ideas, milestones and great wins, etc. But there are also many lows: hateful comments about my husband, assumptions about why I married him (like being a gold digger), stress of managing a small business, judgment for staying home and not working or contributing financially, etc. To think this positio

The Year I learned who I am in Christ - 25 Simple Lessons for 2025
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 2025 was a humbling year - at least for me personally. When you look at Briston and I's life as a whole, it was a great year: we bought a house, the business grew, we got pregnant with our second daughter, etc. But for me personally, it was a year of sacrifice, surrender, and submission. At the beginning of the year, we moved out of our 1-bedroom apartment and into a 20-foot camper. The
