I chat with my friend Katie, who is the founder of the Hope Cards Project. She finds ways to deliver messages of hope to mailboxes and coffee shops through simple statements on hand painted cards. You can gift them or keep them for yourself. You will love her sweet spirit and daily desire to bring people HOPE.

Tomorrow's leaders are with me today on this episode, the first of season 3! We talk about leading through experience and the unknown and how Jesus is still very real to this generation. They will inspire and encourage you in all they have to offer to today's students.

We have men in the house this week! For a special Independence Day edition, I invited 2 friends who just happen to be Marines and in ministry. We talk about God and country--should they be intertwined or two separate entities? We also talk about our responsibilities as Americans AND Christians. It's a GREAT conversation that you will want to listen to and share.

I hope ALL teachers are thoroughly enjoying summer! After the year you had wearing multiple hats, you deserve it! Regardless of if you have school-age children in your house or not, you will love this conversation with some of the best! Listen again, or maybe for the first time!

Revisit my conversation with my good friend, Katie Guiliano. Katie is the founder and owner of Hosanna Revival, a paper goods organization. She is deeply involved in ministry within the Church and has a heart for making Jesus known. She's the best, and you will love hearing from her for the first time, or maybe again.

I have probably the most influential person in my life with me this week, my mom. She is a well of wisdom, and has spent her life loving others, pouring into students, and championing her family--consistently pointing us to Jesus. You will love all that she has to say...take some notes...you'll want to pass this goodness along.

Vanessa and Brooke Rosander, two sisters, who are some of the strongest girls I know, are my amazing guests this week. They experienced incredible grief when they lost their momma to cancer when they were just 8 and 6. Today, they share their story, what it was like the weeks and months after, and how they found a way to forever honor their mom while moving forward in the future God has for them. Enjoy our tender conversation that will bring tears and laughter to your day.

May is National Foster Care Month, so I invited two of my friends who are also foster mommas. You will love this conversation around the challenges and joys of foster care. You will even learn more about what each of us can do to play a role in caring for these children.

We are kicking off May with a Mother's Day episode! What a fun conversation with my very own kids! We talk about the challenges of being teens, the good and bad of being part of a ministry family, the importance of the right influence, and everything in between. I'm a little biased but this one is one of my faves!

This week I have my friend Dr. Michael Dorsey. He shares how his experience as a contestant on The Biggest Loser not only changed him physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He also shares how significant seasons of life shape the path of the future and how God uses all situations to grow us and shape us to be more like Him. michaeldorsey.com @iammikedorsey
