What does it really mean to experience "revival" in our lives? What does Jesus say about it? Does it always have to be something big, serious, and intense in order to experience revival? In this episode, we dig into what Jesus means when He says He longs to revive every part of our lives-- no compartmentalization! How do we invite Him into every area, especially the dry, dreary, and even dead parts of where we are that we are afraid to be exposed? God wants you to experience the fullness and abundance of abiding in His presence and truly believing that He can restore anything.

Struggling to be vulnerable or let people into your pain? A little worn out by what life is asking of you and needing a reminder to keep going? Needing endurance for your current journey?Navigating the gap between what you expected and your reality? This one’s for you. In this episode, Will (my husband if you’re new here:)), dig into what life has been like since our last episode of Sledge coming home from the hospital— parent or not, I believe this episode will encourage you right where you are. The truth is, we often feel like God asks for more endurance than we have, but only God knows how strong we are with Him. I pray this episode encourages you to look for God’s hand, invite others in, and to be honest about where you are as you trust God to hold you, help you, and heal you.

Simplicity. Having a simple life. Pursuing the simple things…it all sounds so…rosy yet unrealistic, right? Amidst the millions of distractions, hurried culture, and expectations of you, how is it possible to live a simple life? In this episode, we will dig into the how, what, who, and why behind pursuing a simple life— clearing the clutter and leaving room for what matters.

Life is busy and most seasons are filled with asking the question, “God, how do I do this well and not tire out?” Especially amidst the hard seasons, it is crucial to have priorities in order and rhythms in place to protect your peace and allow you to freely operate with joy. In this episode, one of my favorite authors and communicators dives into how to do this in very realistic and practical ways. Notorious for her books, “You are Free” and “Rhythms of Renewal”, her latest book, “Resilient” shows us how to walk forward in the really hard seasons— having healthy infrastructure helps us dig in when we want to give up. Don’t miss this episode— I promise it’ll encourage + challenge you!

Words. Why are they so important? Why do they matter? What rewards or consequences do they bring? How do we choose good ones? How do we harness negative ones? What does it look like to glorify Jesus with our words?

Jesus has SO much to say about words! And what do we use every single day to communicate with those we love, those we just meet, and everyone around us? WORDS! The words we speak to others, our prayer life, our internal chatter, and the words we receive on a daily basis— all of these facets are vital for us to recognize where we invite life or death.

The power of the tongue is a game-changer in every situation, season, and struggle. What direction are you steering if your tongue is the rudder? Does it please God? We will dive deep and hopefully gain a better understanding of what it looks like to water words of life and hope.

Buckle up! I’m so excited for y’all to hear the story of some of my new favorite people and friends— Parker and Jeff Byrd.

Parker was involved in a boating accident in July of 2022 that nearly cost him his life, but he ended up having part of his right leg amputated, forever altering his baseball journey and life in general. His dad, Jeff, who is a physician, has been there every step of the journey as they have navigated the curveball nobody expected.

Expect to be challenged, deeply encouraged, and reminded that God uses everything for His glory and our good.

What does it mean to surrender?

Is it irresponsible to truly empty your hands and leave everything at God's feet? How do you surrender and what does that look like? In this episode, we will dig into the word surrender and what Jesus has to say about it. I think a lot of us are tired of carrying around what we have been carrying around but establishing a different normal feels next to impossible with all the demands we have, the obstacles we know will come, and the expectations we place on ourselves....so what do we do?

If you are yearning for a new normal, a quieter mind, or the ability to operate from a posture of rest, this episode is for you.

Just get ready— My dear friend, Megan Holland (@meganroseholland), joined me for a conversation about all the things! How do we live the life God has called us to — what does that look like? Will we always prefer the way He answers our prayers? What do we do when He doesn’t? what does it look like to commit to the deep work of holiness, especially when it’s hard?

Wherever you find yourself in life, I believe this episode is relevant for you and will encourage + challenge you greatly!

God is always speaking— sometimes, it feels like the faintest whisper, and other times, it’s as loud as a mighty roar. In this episode, we dig into 5 things God is teaching me and why I feel like they matter; though not revolutionary or complex, His constant nudges are always the way to a fruitful and faithful life.
My prayer is that as you listen, the Holy Spirit might whisper to your own heart. Does something resonate with you? Or what has He been saying to your heart— and better yet, have you been listening?
Taking inventory of His voice reminds us that He truly is everywhere and that intimate details are His specialty.

How are you doing with your New year's goals and resolutions? Or what about just your everyday rhythms-- do you feel like you're already behind or defeated? Or did you get smothered by unrealistic expectations and never even begin? Either way, in this episode, we dig into the power of creating realistic, everyday rhythms that make us more like Jesus, which is ultimately the true desire behind every worthy and lasting goal.

Cleere reviews some Q&A from her Instagram stories regarding the most common answers for where people are at, what they are struggling with, and what they are needing from God right now-- and the commonalities amongst the answers are wild and comforting.

Wherever you are, whatever season you find yourself in, no matter how far off you have already gotten from the hopes you set for yourself this year, this podcast is for you.

Today is the perfect day for a reset. And the beauty of following Jesus' lead and being loved by Him? He knows how to pivot and adjust better to anyone.

Lean in...this is a good one!

Are you walking through a season of transition and feel a little overwhelmed by all the change? Are you in a time of being hidden— plowing the field, waiting, and wondering if God sees you? Are you hungry for “more” but aren’t quite sure what could cure your restlessness?

Whatever it looks like for you, I believe this interview will meet you in that place. We talk about the hard truths about growth, the mercy of being hidden in Jesus, and the desperate need for us all to slow down, assess what God is actually calling us to, and rest in the unknown, knowing that there is One who knows everything and He is with us.

It's been a minute! I've missed y'all! Season 2 is kicking off with a mixture of interviews with some of my favorite people and then some conversations with just you and me! First up, none other than my pastor, Aaron Kennedy. He is the lead pastor of Open Door Church in Winterville, North Carolina and I have had the privilege to sit under his wisdom, guidance, and obedience for several years. We dig deep-- everything from knowing your own red flags to hearing God's voice to what it looks like to truly lead from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. Aaron is one of the most real, fun, and gracious people I know; I pray this conversation blesses you like it did me.

Everyone, or most everyone, has good intentions, right? We WANT to live a life that is full of purpose, driven in the right direction, and expands the Kingdom of Heaven. Yet, how many times do we get to the end of our days, or even our years, and think, "Why wasn't I more intentional with my time?"

In this episode, we dive into FOUR QUESTIONS we can ask Jesus to get more intentional with our time, our resources, and our energy in every season. Realistic, relatable, and raw for right where this finds you.

Don't get to the end of 2023 wishing that once again, you had lived differently. Sit with Jesus and get intentional today because we all know, life surely will try to distract you :)

What is your purpose? How do you know if you are living a life of purpose? Is it possible to miss out on God's purpose for your life or a specific season?

In this episode, we dig into this word "purpose" and what God says about it. The truth is, our souls were made to live a life of rich purpose and anything short of it will always leave us feeling restless. God is the "more" we are craving in every circumstance.

So how do we walk in purpose? Listen in :)

Amidst the madness of life and the going, going, going, I think it's always so healthy and helpful to take a step back and ask yourself: What is God teaching me right now? Am I listening?  And when I hear Him, do I have the faith and courage to follow?

In this episode, Cleere dives into three different things God is teaching her right now...3 things that the Holy Spirit has continually prompted and brought to her spirit...

1. How do we find order? We all crave it.

2. Are we supposed to avoid tension in our relationships? Can it truly be helpful?

3. What happens we talk about how big Goliath is? Does it help us fight?

As you listen, think about the things God is showing your spirit. Turn down the voices and get still...He is speaking.

We tend to put creating in a box...placing "creative" underneath the column of painters, photographers, artists, etc. But in reality, God created all of us to create! In this episode, we dig into the reasons why we tend to stay small, insecure, quiet, or unsure about the gifts He has given us, the space He has us, and the places He calls us to.

It's time to think outside the box. It's time to welcome back our imagination, dip into our innovative spirits, and ask Jesus to help us show up with bold creativity, not missing a single thing He has for us.

What would the 2023 version of you hope you did RIGHT now? Right where you are, with what you have, and what you currently know? This podcast walks through the acronym “TWENTY-THREE” with 11 pieces of advice you can implement now, as you get to where you want to go. Whether you’re graduating from high-school, in your mid-thirties trying to navigate a career change, in the throws of parenthood, or a recent empty-nester, this episode is for you.

How much do you believe your expectations affect your experience? Who determines your expectations? How do you change your expectations? We dig into all these questions and more.

The truth is, only Jesus can exceed our expectations. He is the only One who knows all, sees all, is aware of our need and our desires, can do anything at any moment, and is worthy of placing our eggs in His basket. Are you letting the world control your expectations or the Word? Are you struggling with your life because it's not meeting your expectations? Listen in :)

Struggling with finding clarity? In a new season of life and wondering how to know the next right thing? Overwhelmed by life’s obligations or worried about how you don’t measure up? This episode is for you! I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with my good friend, Rachel Awtrey of Behind the Bliss Podcast and it so encouraged my soul! God can cover every gap. He is generous with His wisdom. His perfection really is sufficient and His kindness is unmatched. Praying for your courage and your clarity as you dig into today’s episode!

Digging into the last word of the Focus series and what better word than the name above every name— Jesus!

Where do we even start with talking about the person who provides meaning to all other things, changing the timeline for every person and place, and who died so that we can have life?

In this episode, we sort through some questions like what was most important to Jesus? And what did He do when He was discouraged?

I believe this episode will deeply encourage you and help you sit at His feet and that? It is the richest, most honest, most loving, safe place to be.

What are we anchored to? Who are we anchored to? What happens if we don't stay anchored? What is the fruit of an anchored life?

How we answer these questions determines the direction of our lives and the safety we experience the whole way there.

This podcast finds us all in a variety of circumstances and situations, doesn't it? Some of us are in seasons of parenthood, singleness, new jobs, or big transitions. Others are navigating their through a new normal they never asked for and still are praying away.

However, what we all desperately want is to live a life that is steady and peaceful, no matter what rocks our boat-- aka, to have a trusting heart. But HOW? When life is so crazy and so uncertain and often messy, how does that even happy?

In this episode, Cleere walks through the acronym of TRUST and the different steps and reminders we can activate to live a life where we really can rest and say, "It is well with my soul"--wherever life takes us.

For all of us lately, "normal" has felt a thing of the past. With the constant uncertainty looming and life's ever-changing tides, how do we maintain our peace? Our hope? Our joy? Our faith? In this episode, Cleere will talk about how her family's normal was hijacked when their son, Sledge, was born at 26 weeks old in July (hence the gap between this episode and the last!) and the decision they had to make in order to faithfully navigate life in the hospital for 119 days. With that life change, Cleere realized she had two choices: She could either react or respond. That's our choice everyday, isn't it? But the truth is, we always have a choice— when we walk by the Spirit, no matter how difficult our circumstances or how uncertain our future seems, we can always RESPOND knowing Jesus is on the clock and He is for our lives. It will change everything when we do.

God didn't create us or give us this life to just survive it-- we were created to THRIVE! However, so many times, we just decide that our lives "are what they are", our habits have "become what they've become", and we don't access the authority and power we have as His children to live a NEW way!

What thought patterns do you have that might need some renewal? Are you just downright exhausted and wondering how you're going to fill up your cup these days? What might need some recalibration?

In this week's episode, we dig into what renewal looks like and discover how Jesus really can bring new life to ANYTHING.

Sometimes we believe the lie that freedom is the ability to do whatever we want, go wherever we please, and have whatever we desire. However, we see that with Jesus and throughout Scripture, a life lived like this ends in destruction, anxiety, fear, shame, and confusion. The abundant life is ONLY found in trusting God, obeying Him, and believing that the boundary lines He has drawn for our lives are in pleasant, secure places. God never leads us to places that restrict our lives; rather, He protects them. His instruction is always preserving our future, regardless of how it may feel in the moment. Do we trust HIs heart? How are we using our freedom now? Is it the life we hoped for?

What defines our standard of beauty? Do we let our Instagram feed determine how fulfilled we are with what we see in the mirror? What does our God have to say about beauty? What would applying His standard alter about our lives?

Digging into these questions, we see that the more we behold the heart of our Father, the more beauty we see in ourselves, others, and the world around us. Only the Creator can define what is good and pure-- will we trust Him?

What does it mean to really be brave with our lives? Many times, we see courage as doing this really BIG thing but in reality, we make the decision, moment to moment, "Will I be brave and trust God with my life?"

What might God be asking you to be courageous about in your life right now? What would that require of you?

We will never regret trusting the safety net of the character of God.

We are all in seasons of waiting…whether it be navigating a season of transition, waiting on an answer to prayer or a promise to come to pass, yearning for healing or restoration to happen or whatever it may be, we all know how hard the process of waiting can be. And yet— it is often the surest way to welcome holiness and understand what it actually means to have peace beyond understanding…because only when your preferences and timeline are challenged can your true source of trust and contentment be revealed.

In this episode, we dig into how to wait WELL. What does Jesus say about it? Why does it feel so hard sometimes? How do we prepare our hearts to wait?

No matter what your circumstances look like or where you find yourself right now, this episode will meet you right where you are.

We all want to live a life that radiates GOODNESS-- that radiates Jesus, right? But what are some practical ways that we can do that with what we have, where we are, and with what God put inside of us.

In this episode, we will dig into three ways that we can illuminate Jesus and bring Heaven to earth.

• Our testimony
• Our trials
• How we treat others

We are leaving a legacy--let's make it a worthy one.

We often spend our lives working really, really hard towards things that don't matter in the long run. Or we spend our time desiring a harvest of righteousness but not being willing to plow the field and show up to create it. Or we get discouraged by what we thought would happen, the expectations we placed on the work, or the stress that is induced by it, and we wonder: What does all of this even amount to?

In this episode, we will dig into what it means to really cultivate a life that matters and a legacy that lasts. We were always created to work and we have ALL that we need to show up and tend to the last we've been given-- it's time to recognize the space we are in, speak life over the harvest, put in the work, and trust God with all else.

We live in a fast-paced world full of constant motion, things happening, and obligations. These are EXCITING things but we often get so used to the pace of the rollercoaster, we don't realize how drained we are. We have normalized the poor boundaries in our lives and cultivated habits that lead more to our burnout than our building up.

So...what do we do? What needs to change? What does Scripture say? And is it truly possible to live from a constant place of refreshment? Well, we will dig in and I promise, it'll encourage you wherever you are, whatever you have going on, and in whatever season you find yourself navigating.

It's not super romantic to think about having to "stay" when we are ready to GO! Going is more fun, more adventurous, more impressive, right? But sometimes, it is the places we want to run from that God is most using to refine us.

As we learn to stay in His presence and learn His heart, we are reminded that we can always trust the preparation of the King. There is great promise and purpose where He has us.

And chances are, the harder it is to stay, the more He is calling us to stay in Him, depending on Him for our perseverance, endurance, and strength. We can do hard things because He is with us, in us, and watches after our way-- wherever we travel.

We all want the pretty house and the completed projects-- it feels good, looks impressive, and helps us feel good about our current state of affairs. However, our Heavenly Father is so not worried about how things appear-- His concern is the state of our hearts. How are we really doing? Is there an issue, struggle, relationship, or thought pattern that we need restoration in but we are fearful to admit to ourselves, others, or Him?

He is the King of restoration and His type of restoration is not just repairing something to be functional or improving it's condition back to it's original form; He restores beyond recognition. His lavished grace, undeserved kindness, and rich mercy meet us in our mess and transform our minds, hearts, and lives beyond our comprehension.

Let's not wait...let's allow for the deep work and trust that He really can bring life back into anything. Our hope? Oh it is here and it is rich because our Savior will settle for nothing less.

What does it mean to be rooted in Jesus? How do we cultivate deep roots so that when the storms of life come, we won't be afraid, worried, or insecure?

Being rooted is ultimately the greatest desire of our lives-- to know that no matter what, we have security and certainty in where we stand. That is what Jesus offers and His well does not run dry but there are practical steps that help us rip out the weeds, trust our God-given identity, and BELIEVE that He is for us.

When we are a rooted people, the world will want what we have and question how we got there.

Movement-- the literal act of moving our bodies-- is obviously necessary to keep us alive. Well, when it comes to moving towards God, it is also what keeps us alive! Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc. We can not operate in faith or receive the abundant life He has promised us if we do not move towards Him. It doesn't have to be massive steps; rather, it's often the daily, hand-to-the-plow moments that help strengthen our faith, solidify our foundation, stimulate our peace of mind, and stabilize our hearts.

JOY!!!

The word alone sounds like what it means, doesn't it!? But I think sometimes we feel like joy is this elusive feeling that is unattainable for us or is dependent upon certain circumstances coming to fruition. However, the kind of joy that Jesus offers has nothing to do with our how, our what, or our when-- it has everything to do with our who. WHO are we seeking to find our joy?

We will dig into some crucial, practical ways that will help us not just walk in joy but LEAP for joy! Kingdom joy-- it's something different.

"Let go and let God." We know the phrase and we even understand the power of it, but often the reality of our lives and the hardness of our habits meets us on the other side and we don't quite know what to do with it. And what do we let go? And when? And when we do let go, how do we know we will be okay? What if what God is asking us to release is keeping us temporarily secure, even if it's unhealthy? What if we let others down as we let go of what our Father asks of us? Release--- we will dig into this word and our doubts, hesitancies, and fears with letting go. Because when we do release-- when we truly surrender something to the Father's hands, our lives will always be richer, greater, and better on the other side of it.

In this episode, we walk through ten things that the Holy Spirit continuously reminded me of during our recent trip to Texas for Sledge’s physical therapy camp. Though not revolutionary, I firmly believe these reminders will challenge, encourage, and refresh you in whatever season you find yourself in right now.

Life on earth is short and yet, we spend so much time focusing on things that don’t matter and then trying to understand why our soul feels restless. That is mercy— pure grace— that we would hear the Father’s whisper in a million different ways as He calls us back to Himself and assures us that the satisfaction, richness, and meaning we are searching for can only be found in and through Him.

Praying that this episode meets you where you are. What is God speaking to you right now? Are you listening? Have you stopped long enough to hear Him?

Do you feel like you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off at all moments? Physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually lacking.

Or maybe you feel like you need to get a little pep in your step and you're struggling with gaining the momentum or motivation to take a step forward?

As we dig into this word "pace", we see that we were never supposed to let the world, others, or ourselves determine our rate. We have the Holy Spirit and as we walk in-step with Him, we learn that He is our pacer, ensuring our success and helping us every moment of the way.

The pace of grace allows us to enjoy the view, trust the One who is leading us, and experience lasting peace no matter how hard the journey gets.

How often do you really allow silence to be the background? I mean, true silence. Not the kind where we are sorting through a mental checklist while music plays in the background but the kind that can feel deafening and uncomfortable. The truth about silence is that it often strips of any language and distraction and forces us to realize our own need-- Where are we really at? What is God saying?

Silence allows us to dig past what is on the surface and allows the Holy Spirit to deal with what the inside looks like. All throughout Scripture, Jesus took the time to find silence, knowing that if He wanted to really hear His Heavenly Father, He was going to have to be intentional and disciplined about making room. Do we make space?

This episode digs into the benefits and importance of making silence our background so that we can live with a soul that is settled in knowing He is God and we are not.

I don’t think many of us would walk around claiming that we aren’t living “honest lives.” But do we really understand what that means? Jesus defines honesty way differently than we do- what does He have to say? And if we truly believe that His way is best, what keeps us from doing so? In this episode, we will dig deep into several things that prevent us from honesty and several ways we can begin to practice our Heavenly Father’s definition of this word.

It's the story of our lives: We all fear that what we have is too little. It's not enough to truly make a difference, right? However, we see that all throughout scripture, amidst the stories of the Bible, and in our everyday experiences, it is our LITTLE + God's supernatural power that makes A LOT of difference.

And what about those little sins that we let fester, slowly letting them suck the life out of our garden? We often don't realize how these little things build and slowly become the wall that keeps us from getting to where God has asked us to go or be the people God has asked us to be.

Trust Him with your little. Dig deep-- what's your next right thing? How can you show up in little ways each day?
