I think every single one of us has things in our lives that don’t look like we want them to. We don’t have the community we wish we had, we’re unhealthier physically than we ever thought we’d be, our relationship with God isn’t as close as we wish it was, our relationships never seem […]
7 Totally Doable Steps To Leading A Life-Changing Small Group
Just a few months into my life as a Christian, I was asked to lead my very first small group. I was honored, and humbled, and totally surprised because I had barely been in a small group, let alone had any experience leading one. But God had done so much in my life, I was […]
You’ll Have Better Friendships If You Do This One Thing (and you’ll make even more friends too!)
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is friendship. Let’s be honest – something I think about all the time is friendship. In my life, in my faith, in my relationships, in what God is calling me to do in the world — I’ve never found a resource (other than God Himself) more powerful or […]
What to do if your friend is settling for a guy you KNOW she shouldn’t date
Hi Stephanie, One of my best friends is in a bad relationship. He doesn’t treat her well, but she seems to be the only one who can’t see it. I think the reason she can’t see it is because I know how badly she wants to get married. Maybe she thinks that this is […]

This One Thing Will Change How You See Yourself
A few weeks ago, I had the incredible privilege of being the speaker at a middle school camp in Wisconsin. The whole week was a fantastic blur of 600 giggling middle school girls, and hilarious middle school boys. I showed up armed with what I thought they needed to hear. But you know what we […]
What To Look For In A Best Friend (Mean Girls Need Not Apply)
As women we have two choices: We can either be best friends, or we can be mean girls. Sometimes we try to be both. We say we’re best friends, but we don’t act like it, and it took me years to understand the difference. In high school I had a group of friends I thought […]
LAST CALL for Small Group Guides! (Today is the very last day to order!)
Hi sweet friends! I just wanted to pop in and remind you that today is the VERY LAST DAY to order your copies of my new small group guide. After today it won’t be available again until right before Christmas and I’d just hate for you to have to wait that long! But even with that deadline […]
