Endings can bring a mix of excitement and fear as God calls you out of one season and into the next season. In this final episode, co-hosts Annie and Heidi talk about how they knew it was time to bring their podcast collaboration to a close and how to recognize if you’re being called to something new, too.

Investing in Yourself
How do you want to show up for yourself and others? However you answer that question means you will have to invest in yourself to make that happen. And, there can be a hundred reasons why we don’t do that. In this episode, Annie talks to April Diaz, former pastor of 17 years and now a coach with Ezer & Co, about activating women to live and lead with wholeness. Investing in yourself is hard, but it’s the best way to grow.

Don't Be Offended
When was the last time you were offended? More often than we realize, the comments or remarks we personalize weren’t intended to hurt us and, ultimately, what we do with them is a choice. One choice hurts us and the other builds a bridge to understanding. In this episode, Heidi talks to Gari Pisca, Executive Director of Operations at Eagle Brook Church, about how to raise the sensitivity bar for you and those you work with to be more of the leader God made you to be.

Can Comparison Be Good?
Even as kids we are taught to compare and contrast. It’s actually a necessary and important discernment activity. But, it can get tricky when it becomes the scale by which we measure our success or even unhealthy if it begins to define who we are. In this episode, Annie talks with Amber Cullum, host of Grace Enough Podcast, about what comparison really is and how we can think about it differently to leverage it for good.

Connect with God Your Way
When life gets busy, the pressures turn up and we need God the most, yet that's when He often seems farther away. Our answer can be to try harder to do the right spiritual disciplines. What if, instead, God actually designed us to connect with Him in unique ways that are more meaningful for us and for Him? In this episode, your co-hosts Heidi Zwart and Annie Perdue-Olson combine personal stories and practical strategies for how to connect with God in your own unique way.

Juggling Motherhood & Ministry
Have you ever felt inadequate as a mother? Or felt like you were dropping the ball in ministry? Being a mom and managing a ministry role can feel overwhelming no matter how young or old your kids are today. In this episode, Heidi talks with Amy Wicks, founder of Simply Wholehearted, about how your Enneagram type can unlock the confidence, language, and lens you need to thrive in ministry and motherhood.
“Each of us is driven to ‘do it all’ for the sake of security, significance or passion for justice. That motivator is great, but you just can’t. You’ve got to link arms.”
