As a mom of three kids, one of my favorite things to do is hear from other moms what's working and not working for them. I love hearing about the rhythms, routines, and habits that different families have creatd and formed to help them build the home and family they desire to have. One of my favorite people to talk about this topic with is Lynley Mandrell. Lynley is one of the most intentional and strategic people I know, so when it comes to habits and routines, she's the perfect person to talk to! In fact, Lynley cohosts The Glass House Podcast with her husband, Ben, and they have an entire episode on the topic of family values, rythyms, and routines! We know that no two families are the same and certainly none of us are perfect! We hope this episode encourages you and inspires you to make small changes to be intentional in building the family and home you know God wants you to have!

Body positivity is a social movement that promotes a positive view of all bodies, regardless of the shape, size, weight, etc. But we want to take it deeper. Yes, we can accept our bodies the way they are to an extent, but we are here to talk about the fact that we also have a responsibility to our bodies. Today, Whitney Capps and I have a vulnerable conversation about our own unique journeys, the complexities of our bodies, the messages we tell ourselves about them, and how we function in them as temples of the Holy Spirit.  Go follow both of us on Instagram and share your thoughts on body positivity.

Today’s topic is no different, but it may step on your toes a little so get ready! Lisa Whittle and I have a conversation around entitlement, and before you think you don’t deal with this issue, I want to ask you to name one thing you complain about. It’s there where your entitlement lies! This topic is one that has deeply convicted me over the last year and an important issue for christians to be aware of. We tackle how to identify areas you feel entitled to, how discomfort leads to areas that need to be confronted, and what we believe the antidote to entitlement is.As always, thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend! SHOW LINKS: -God Knows -Connect with Lisa Whittle-Connect with Angie Elkins 

"God, if you'll just give me a sign I'll do it." How often have we asked God for the biggest sign in the world, and then wonder if it's him when we get it? We desperately want to hear from him, but how can we be confident it's he who we hear? On today's show, Christy Wright shares how she's turned up the volume of God in her life. Christy Wright is a best-selling author, speaker, and podcast host of the Christy Wright Podcast. She loves talking about God, telling stories, training new speakers, and encouraging people to step into what God has for them. Christy shares insight on how we can turn up the volume of God's voice in our own life, and walk in confidence and obedience!

We fill our days with so many things that aren't necessarily bad, but if we were honest with ourselves, they aren't things that are sanctifying us. Today, Whitney Capps and I discuss these things in our life and how we plan to remove or eliminate them from our daily life. Some of the things we're letting go of may surprise you, or you may think they're silly, but for us, these are the things that we know we need to let go of and allow God to fill that space with whatever He wants!If you're honest with yourself, what 5 things do you need to limit or remove from your life to make more room for God?SHOW LINKS:The Glass House PodcastSpiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life 31 Day Shine Challenge

Recently I found an extremely diverse study done over 100 years and the findings blew me away. Regardless of age, ethnicity, geographical location, and financial status, the happiest people were those who had the deepest and most intentional friendships. Immediately, I knew that this year I wanted to focus more on the friendships in my life to cultivate deeper and more meaningful relationships. On today’s show one of my closest friends and Illuminator, Tiffani Casey, joins me to talk about this. You’ll hear how we met and became friends, the challenges we have both faced in make friends when moving to new places, and how hardships have bonded us to the friends in our life. What friend has God put right in front of you?

New Year goals can be tricky. I’m guessing you either have a love or hate relationship with them, and let’s be honest, maybe both! So why is it that we find ourselves feeling the need to make new goals year after year? Is it sweet nudges from the Holy Spirit? Has God given you a calling he’s asking you to step into? Is there a sanctification process that needs to take place in certain areas of your life? On today’s show, Illuminator Lynley Mandrell and I discuss some of our 2024 goals, seasons of life where goals have come from heartbreak, and how we determine what success and failure look like. Thanks so much for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!

Throughout chapters in Psalms and other passages scattered through the Bible, we see people using their entire body to worship God. Whether it’s dancing undignified in the streets, wearing sackcloth and ashes, or falling on their face, we see the people of God have bodily responses to the Spirit of God. But even as we read about it, are we that comfortable, or are we that surrendered, to use our entire body for the worship of God? On today’s episode, Illuminator Tiffany Casey and I discuss this topic of whole body worship. I hope this episode challenges you next time you’re in worship. I pray that we can all be filled with boldness for Christ to pour out our all, just as He did so graciously for us!Links: Connect with AngieTo sign up for the Let It Shine newsletter, click HERE and scroll to the bottom of the page.
