The Spoken Over You Podcast

In this episode of the Spoken Over You Podcast, we continue our Biblical Leadership Series by looking at the life of Esther, a woman who found herself in a position she never could have fully understood until the moment came when she had to choose between comfort and courage.
Esther’s story reminds us that God is often working behind the scenes, even when we can’t see Him. Her position as queen wasn’t simply about where she was, it was about why God had placed her there.
When the moment came to use her voice, Esther was afraid. She knew the risk yet she chose obedience. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is choosing faith when fear is still present.
Maybe God has placed you in your workplace, your family, your child’s school, your church, or your community for a reason. Maybe there’s a conversation you need to have, someone who needs your voice, or a step of obedience you’ve been delaying.
Esther reminds us: you don’t have to feel fearless to be faithful.
You may have been placed here for such a time as this.

What if the greatest work God is doing in your life is happening where no one else can see?
In Episode 2 of our biblical leadership series, we dive into the life of David, not the giant-slayer or the king everyone remembers, but the overlooked shepherd faithfully tending sheep long before anyone knew his name.
Together, we'll discover that God values faithfulness over fame, character over performance, and obedience over applause. While the world celebrates the highlight reel, God is often shaping leaders in the hidden seasons, through ordinary moments, unseen acts of faithfulness, and quiet obedience.
We'll unpack powerful leadership lessons from David's life, including why comparison can steal your calling, how private habits shape public influence, and why your heart matters more to God than your résumé.
Whether you're raising children, leading a team, coaching athletes, serving in ministry, or simply trying to faithfully follow Jesus in your everyday life, this episode will remind you that God never overlooks faithful hearts.
The truth is, the victories no one applauds today may become the foundation for the calling God reveals tomorrow.

What if the greatest obstacle to your leadership isn't your lack of ability but your belief that you're not enough?
In the first episode of our biblical leadership series, we're looking at the life of Moses; a man who led an entire nation but initially responded to God's calling with fear, insecurity, and excuse after excuse.
Together, we'll explore Moses' journey from the palace to the wilderness, his encounter with God at the burning bush, and the powerful leadership lessons found in his story. We'll discover that God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies those He calls. Through Moses' objections, we'll learn that our confidence isn't meant to be found in ourselves but in God's presence, His promises, and His faithfulness.
Whether you're leading your family, serving in ministry, managing a team, coaching athletes, or simply striving to faithfully follow Jesus, this episode will encourage you to stop waiting until you feel ready and start taking your next step in obedience because leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about saying "yes" to the God who goes before you.
If you've ever questioned whether you're capable, qualified, or enough, to lead, this episode is for you.

What if surrender isn't a one-time decision but a daily posture?
In this episode of The Spoken Over You Podcast, we explore what it truly means to surrender every part of our lives to God. Through powerful stories of Abraham, Moses, Mary, and ultimately Jesus, we discover that surrender isn't about giving up, it's about giving everything over to the One who is faithful. 
I share my own journey through seasons of waiting, unexpected career loss, and learning to trust God's character when His plans didn't look anything like mine. Sometimes surrender means releasing dreams, timelines, identities, or expectations, but every time, God meets us with His faithfulness. 
If you've ever struggled to let go of control, questioned God's timing, or wondered how to trust Him in uncertainty, this episode will encourage you to loosen your grip and open your heart.
Because surrender isn't weakness. It's trust and sometimes the most powerful prayer we can pray is:
"Open hands. Open heart. Open to whatever God has for me today."

In a world that praises hustle and constant productivity, God offers us something radically different: rest. In this episode of The Spoken Over You Podcast, we're diving into the biblical gift of the Sabbath and why it's so much more than simply taking a day off.
 
We'll explore what Scripture teaches about Sabbath, why God made it one of the Ten Commandments, and how intentionally slowing down can transform our hearts, minds, and bodies. You'll also hear my personal journey of learning to truly rest during an unexpected season of unemployment and how God used that time to teach me that my worth isn't found in what I accomplish, but in who I am in Him.
 
We'll unpack practical ways to begin honoring the Sabbath in everyday life, even if your schedule feels overwhelming, and discover why rest isn't laziness, but an act of trust and obedience. Whether you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply longing for more peace, this episode is an invitation to stop striving and start receiving the restoration God has been offering all along.

In a culture that often prioritizes self over service, how do we raise children who are kind and respectful?
In this episode of Spoken Over You Podcast, we're talking about one of the topics I get asked about most as a mom of four: raising kids with good manners. While manners may seem like small things, saying please and thank you, making eye contact, and apologizing when we're wrong are actually powerful tools for building character and teaching our children how to value others.
We'll discuss why manners matter, how children learn respect through observation, practical ways to teach manners in everyday moments, and how these habits help our kids reflect Christ in a world that desperately needs more kindness.
If you've ever wondered how to raise "good humans" in today's culture, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that the small lessons you're teaching today are shaping the adults your children will become tomorrow.

Moving your child to college is about so much more than dorm rooms, packing lists, and move-in day. In this heartfelt episode of the Spoken Over You Podcast, we dive into the emotional, logistical, and spiritual side of launching your child into adulthood.
From preparing emotionally before the packing even begins to learning how to redefine your role as a parent, this episode walks through 10 practical tips every parent needs when navigating this major life transition. We talk about communication, independence, homesickness, financial preparation, and the importance of trusting both the foundation you’ve built and the God who goes before them.
Whether you’re sending your first child to college or your fourth, this conversation is filled with encouragement, real-life experience, biblical truth, and reminders that you are not alone in this season.
Remember, this isn’t the end of motherhood, it’s the expansion of it.
You didn’t raise them to stay. You raised them to soar. 

Being a team parent is about so much more than snacks and schedules; it’s about serving with purpose, building team culture, and showing up in ways that truly impact young athletes.
In this episode, we break down what it really means to be a great team parent.....not perfect, not overwhelmed, but intentional, organized, and encouraging. From supporting coaches (even when it’s hard), to creating simple systems that eliminate chaos, to protecting the culture of the team, this conversation covers it all.
 
You’ll learn how to communicate clearly without drama, encourage every child—not just your own—and create meaningful moments that last far beyond the season.
 
If you’ve ever felt the pressure of doing it all, this episode will remind you that this role is not about perfection, it’s about presence, beacuse one day the games will end, but the impact you made will remain.

Spring isn’t just a change in season, it’s an invitation to reset.
In this episode of Spoken Over You Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means to declutter, not just your home, but your calendar and your heart. The truth is, the heaviest clutter we carry often isn’t visible.
We’ll walk through simple, practical ways to create space in your home, protect your time, and release the emotional weight you were never meant to carry. From the “serves or supports” rule to a powerful heart inventory, this episode will help you step into a new season with clarity, peace, and intention.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or mentally cluttered, this is your reminder: you don’t need to do more, you need to release what no longer belongs.
Spring is here and it's a perfect time to start because God is doing something new.

Motherhood carries a weight that often goes unseen. In this episode of the Spoken Over You Podcast, we talk about the mental load moms carry....the invisible work of remembering, tracking, planning, anticipating, and holding together the rhythms of family life. 
Even in homes with loving and supportive partners, many mothers remain the “default parent,” carrying the mental management of the household. It's part of who God created us to be. In this episode, we unpack what the mental load is, why so many women carry it alone, and what happens when we hold onto it for too long. 
This episode offers practical and spiritual ways to begin lightening the weight, from naming the load, to sharing responsibility, releasing perfection, and learning to surrender control to God daily. 
If you’ve ever ended the day exhausted but unable to explain why, this conversation will help you understand the invisible weight you’ve been carrying and give you encouragement to begin laying it down.
