  Are You Actually Living Purposefully, or Just Getting Through the Day? 17.09.2026 23мин

  Are you actually living purposefully—or are you just getting through the day? It’s surprisingly easy to live life on autopilot. And as Christians, we can even turn our faith into a checklist: Read your Bible. Check. Go to church. Check. Pray. Check. Be a good person. Check. But God has called us to deeper. In this episode of She Lives Purposefully, we’re talking about what it actually means to live purposefully as a Christian—not someday but today, right where God has placed you. Because every day is an opportunity to glorify God, love God, and live for God.

  Are your priorities in the right order? A practical, Biblical reset 03.09.2026 18мин

  If life feels a little out of wack or chaotic, like what you’re doing doesn’t align with what you want - your priorities could be all out of order. And as a Christian, we’re actually called to more.  Today we’re talking about getting our priorities in order, the RIGHT order and why it’s important!  Having priorities out of order can lead to chaos and overwhelm and putting time and effort into the wrong things. How we act out what we prioritize matters because it begins to define how we live our lives.  Today, I lay out Scripture that backs up what our priorities should be, the priority order I love, and an exhortation to sit down and take inventory for your own life.

  Is it kinda chic… to be Christian? And an encouragement to sow seeds 27.08.2026 25мин

  Today, I sit down to talk about if our faith is firm enough to weather trends and culture, and some ways to ensure that it is.  Christianity is honestly trending right now. It’s kinda popular. BUT Christians are called, in the Bible, to be prepared for push back and persecution.  How can we be sure our faith isn’t just trendy but is sure? Are we as Christian women spending time with Him? Are we remembering all He’s done for us? Are we growing an actual relationship based on truth? Are we practicing taking up our cross? And then I have the CUTEST story to share about my kiddo that reminded me that the seeds I am sowing MATTER.

  When Your Quiet Time Doesn't Look Like It Used To (Seeking God In Busy Seasons) 06.08.2026 15мин

  Have you ever looked back at a previous season of life and thought, “My time with God used to look different. I must be failing now." Motherhood. Work. Marriage. Little ones waking before sunrise. Responsibilities that don’t seem to end. Today we're talking about why walking with God is a priority in every season—even if it doesn't look the same in every season. We'll explore what Scripture says about seeking the Lord, why our relationship with Him matters so deeply, and how we can let go of false guilt while continuing to pursue Him wholeheartedly. The goal isn't recreating a past season. The goal is faithfully seeking Jesus right where He has you today.

  Are You Asking God to Follow YOUR Plans? Ask What HE’S Doing Instead 30.07.2026 21мин

  Maybe you have dreams, goals, prayers, and plans you're working hard toward. You're asking God to bless them, open doors, and make them successful... but have you stopped to ask what He is doing? Today, we're talking about what it looks like to surrender our plans (sometimes without giving up on the dreams God has placed in our hearts).  Here’s your invitation to pause, reflect, and re-center before taking our next steps. I’ve been reminded by God to bring every area of my life before God—not just asking Him to bless my desires, but praying: "Lord, if this isn't what You have for me, change my heart. Show me what You want, and I'll follow." If you've been feeling uncertain about what's next, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or simply wanting to make sure you're walking where God is leading, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and seek His heart before your own agenda.

  Making an Eternal Impact: Use Every Opportunity to Point to God 23.07.2026 23мин

  God gives us opportunity to point to Him, to be part of what He’s doing in the world. Let’s lean in and act on those opportunities, those nudges on our hearts - and in turn, make an eternal impact. In today's episode of She Lives Purposefully, I'm sharing two simple stories from motherhood that deeply encouraged my own faith. This episode is an encouragement to listen when the Holy Spirit nudges you, to plant seeds of faith wherever God has placed you, and to remember that making an eternal impact often begins in ordinary, everyday conversations. Whether your mission field is motherhood, your workplace, your friendships, or your community, God has given you opportunities to point people to Him. Scriptures Mentioned: 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 — We plant and water, but God gives the growth. Matthew 9:37 — "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."

  Doubting God hears (or cares about) your prayer? (SPOLER: HE does) 16.07.2026 19мин

  Is there a prayer you've stopped praying because you assumed God wasn't listening? Today, I share a story as a Christian mom of answered prayer with my toddler - a small, silly prayer answered almost immediately TWICE in a row.  That small moment became a bigger conversation: God hears you. It also showed me lies that I was believing about prayer, even as a Bible believing, Christian woman.  We dive into this mini testimony AND Scripture that tells us that God hears, He is near, and He answers, even if not always how we expect.

  God Doesn't Need You Qualified — He Needs You Willing 09.07.2026 20мин

  Feeling Unqualified for What God Calls You To? What Moses’s Story Teaches Us Ever caught yourself thinking, "God, why choose me? She's more qualified. She's been walking with You longer. She has the platform, the gifts, the put-together life — not me."  Today we're sitting with Moses in Exodus 3-4, where he asked God that exact question... and God's answer wasn't a list of Moses' qualifications. It was Himself.    Scripture Referenced Exodus 3:11-12 Exodus 4:10-17 Ephesians 1:4 1 Peter 2:9 John 15:16 Ephesians 2:10 Philippians 3:7-9 Links: Hosanna Revival — 15% off + an extra 10% off with my code SHELIVESPURPOSEFULLY https://hosannarevival.com/shelivespurposefully Daily Grace Co — Door Busters Sale + an extra 10% off with my code MEGANE10 thedailygraceco.com/shelivespurposefully  Learn more about your ad choices.

  Stop Jogging Through Your Faith: Run on Purpose with Intention, Discipline & Living Fully for Jesus 02.07.2026 12мин

  You love Jesus—but if you're honest, it can be easy to coast. Maybe you've got the intention but not the follow-through. Maybe you're following through, but your heart's off: it's for the checklist, the self-promotion, the feeling instead of for Him. In this episode, we're sitting in 1 Corinthians and asking the uncomfortable-but-good question: Am I running this race to obtain the prize, or just living the Christian life aimlessly? Paul says runners run to get the prize, so run in a way that wins it and a couple chapters later, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.  I share the simple rhythm my husband and I started and the honest self-examination that followed: Am I running with intention, discipline, and determination —or lackadaisically, only when it's convenient, or worse, for myself? We talk about where "running to win" actually shows up in ordinary life. 15% off Hosanna Revival Code ‘shelivespurposefully’: https://hosannarevival.com/shelivespurposefully  Learn more about your ad choices.

  Stop Just Getting Through It: Finding Purpose & Joy RIGHT Where God Has You 11.06.2026 20мин

  Are you in a season where you're just trying to GET through it to the next thing? Maybe you're waiting until your kids are older, until you hit a goal, until life feels more fulfilling — and THEN you'll really show up for God.  I get real about a heart check I had in motherhood — realizing I was running on empty, living out of overwhelm and exhaustion instead of purpose and joy. I share what shifted everything and how recognizing that where God has placed you right now is intentional can completely transform your everyday. In this episode: Why we fall into "I'll live more purposefully when…" thinking (in motherhood, relationships, goals & faith) My honest moment with the Fruit of the Spirit — and what I realized wasn't showing up in my life How gratitude became a game-changer (+ the Scriptures that back it up) Why the mundane moments — tantrums, 2am nursing, emails — are purposeful places for God to grow and use you The calling we have RIGHT NOW: to love, serve, and walk with God wherever He has us Scriptures referenced: Galatians 5 (Fruit of the Spirit), Colossians 3:17, Colossians 3:23, Matthew 22:37, Romans 14:8, Philippians 2:3-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 100:4, Ephesians 5:20, Philippians 4:6 Links: Daily Grace Co.

  Have you ever felt God pressing something on your heart and wondered, is that really Him? Do I need to step into what He’s speaking to me about? In this honest, conviction-filled episode, we're talking about the still small voice of God — what He's been whispering to me lately and why acting on those promptings matters more than we realize. Friend, this one is personal. Lately God has been pressing some things on my heart, and instead of brushing past them, I want to share what He's been showing me — and why I think listening to Him is so important in our lives. In this episode, I'm getting real about three areas He's been stirring in me: How much I'm actually seeking Him (not just squeezing Him in) Whether I'm truly pointing my kids to Jesus — and exemplifying Him in our home Living less out of lack and more out of joyful intention In this episode: What God has been pressing on my heart lately (and the messy honesty of discerning His voice) 2 reasons acting on God's promptings matters The ask, listen, obey rhythm  Being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer A personal confession about where I want to grow Episode Outline: 03:30 What God’s been speaking to me about in my own life  07:10 Two reasons that it is so important to listen to God’s voice 11:30 Exhortation: Don’t miss out on what God has for you 12:30 When you’re not sure “Is this from God?” LINKS: Daily Grace Co SALE: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=293954  Learn more about your ad choices.

We talk a lot about our experience going from one kid to two and how we got here. Then we'll get into the convictions God has been putting on our hearts lately: from less secular music (and more Christian music we’ve filling my home with), to becoming a mama who points my kids to Jesus (which has to start with me), to being a better friend, and learning to actually listen when God presses something on my heart. Friend, grab your iced latte (mine is currently decaf) and let's catch up.

  How Do I Know If I’m a Good Christian? + Christian Books for Spiritual Growth | Christian Q&A with Donny 07.05.2026 14мин

  Have you ever wondered: “Am I actually being a good Christian?” In this Mini Encouragement episode (under 15 minutes), Donny and I answer a listener question about how to know if you're living as a faithful Christian and how to grow deeper in your relationship with Christ. First, it’s important to remember something foundational: We are not Christians because we are good enough. We are Christians because we trust in Jesus as our Savior and Lord. The Christian life isn’t about perfection—it’s about seeking God, loving Him, repenting when we fall, and continuing to walk in His ways. In this episode we talk about: What it really means to walk faithfully with Christ Why the Christian life is often described as running a race The importance of repentance, obedience, and love for God Why following Jesus should never become just a spiritual checklist Encouragement if you feel like you're struggling in your faith We also share a few Christian books that can help strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of God’s character. Some of the books mentioned in this episode include: 📖 Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis: https://amzn.to/3P5H1Xe  📖 Gentle and Lowly – Dane Ortlund: https://amzn.to/4sHkFJQ 📖 Crazy Love – Francis Chan: https://amzn.to/4siaZWv 📖 Desiring God – John Piper: https://amzn.to/46Yj8a9  Learn more about your ad choices.
