✨ 2025 is here, and we’re diving in with intention! ✨

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got big dreams, fresh goals, and maybe just a little overwhelm trying to figure out how to make it all happen.

That’s why our first F&G Gathering of 2025 is all about setting faith-filled goals and stepping into the year with clarity, intention, and trust in God’s perfect timing.

We’ll dive into:
✅ Aligning your goals with God’s will
✅ Practical tools to create a strategic (but flexible!) plan
✅ Encouragement to dream big and embrace the season you're in
✅ Real talk, deep connection, and time with other women who get it

No pressure, no perfection—just a morning of faith, community for Christian women, and a whole lot of encouragement.

A bittersweet goodbye.

After three and a half incredible years, God has made it clear that it’s time to close the Faith Inspired Podcast chapter.

It’s a bittersweet moment—filled with peace but also a touch of sadness. This podcast has been a significant part of my life, and I’ve cherished walking alongside you in your faith journey.

In this final episode, I’m reflecting on the highs and lows, sharing what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and why sometimes following God’s lead means saying goodbye, even when it doesn’t make sense.

I want to encourage you to keep pursuing your God-sized dreams—each season with Him is a journey worth taking.

Though this chapter is closing, I’m still here with weekly devotionals and resources through the newsletter. If you’re not signed up, now’s the time!

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to be part of your life through the podcast. It’s been an incredible privilege. ❤️

Hey friends! Remember Tabatha Perry from Episode 78 of the Faith Inspired Podcast? Well, she threw an epic pajama party to celebrate her last year before 40, and it was a blast!

We reminisced over high school yearbooks, shared stories from our younger days, and dove deep into faith and life's challenges—all while laughing until our sides hurt. 🎉

It was pure magic ✨, and it got me thinking... Why don't we have more experiences like this in our everyday lives?

So, guess what? I've decided to make it happen!
