We tend to make Christianity complicated. Our relationship with God can feel rigid or only surface-deep. This week my friend Anjuli talks to us about the gift of resistance. Paying attention to the things that you’re trying your best to ignore; the things that feel like the scary deep end of the pool. But what if that deep end part of your story was the way to true intimacy with your Creator? Anjuli Paschall is the founder of The Moms We Love Club and writes regularly for (in)courage, a widely followed online community of Christian women. She grew up encircled by an orange grove in San Diego. After graduating from Point Loma Nazarene University, she earned a master's degree in spiritual formation and soul care from Talbot Seminary. She currently lives in Southern California with her husband, Sam, and five children. Sam is a pastor at Mission Hills Church in San Marcos. They enjoy renovating their fixer-upper and spending weekends at the ocean. WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: Anjuli’s Instagram transition and the struggle to actually be authentic vs. faking authenticity how vulnerability and growing her trust in God has reduced her mom guilt creating a genogram to help identify and break generational sins the importance of dealing with our own personal pain so that our kids don’t feel the need to try to fix it for us the gift of resistance - the deep end of your story is the way to true intimacy what it looks like to abide with God in your everyday life over complicating Christianity when all we need is the faith of a child the continued resistance Anjuli feels about being honest wrestling with the truth of God’s love for us building spiritual rhythms into your daily habits different phases of parenting happening simultaneously LINKS MENTIONED: Embracing Holland podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/embracing-holland/id1501288141) Stay Awake to Love course (https://www.anjulipaschall.com/courses) Poldark (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/poldark/) Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  CONNECT WITH ANJULI: website (https://www.anjulipaschall.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/lovealways.anjuli/) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Anjuli-Paschall-100258001467923/) CONNECT WITH EMILY: website (https://momstrugglingwell.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/momstrugglingwell/) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/momstrugglingwell/) | patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell) EPISODE SPONSORS: Prose (https://prose.com/redeem?fbuy_ref_code=msw&utm_campaign=V2veritone&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=msw) : take your free in-depth hair quiz and get 15% off your first order today when you visit prose.com/msw (https://prose.com/redeem?fbuy_ref_code=msw&utm_campaign=V2veritone&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=msw) PlushCare (https://plushcare.com/msw/) : make your appointment today at plushcare.com/msw (https://plushcare.com/msw/) Jonas Paul Eyewear (https://jonaspauleyewear.com/pages/mom-struggling-well#erid4885585) : visit jonaspauleyewear.com/momstrugglingwell (https://jonaspauleyewear.com/pages/mom-struggling-well#erid4885585) for a discount code and you’ll get 15% off your next order SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell)   SHARE THE STRUGGLE!

Did you know there are practices that can actually help you slow your thoughts? Doesn’t seem like something you would need to practice but I sure do crave a calm mind. My guest today is a big fan of slowing it on down and bringing rest and togetherness back into the human experience. We talked some about our perspectives as working moms and some about ways to create mutually beneficial and empowering relationships with the POC in your life. You’re going to love Ashlee Eiland for her wisdom, grace, and her adorable laugh! Ashlee is a leader, pastor, writer, and Bible teacher who exists to join God in His redemptive work here on Earth. Her work has one purpose: to help humanity build bridges back to the Truth of who God is and between one another in redemptive, healing relationship. Her passion for Scripture, family, writing, elevating women in the Church, and the holy journey of adoption are core to who she is. Ashlee serves as Formation & Preaching Pastor at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids. She and her husband, Delwin, have three kids, Brooklyn, Myles, and Journey. WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: Ashlee’s 3 kids who Ninja Warrior everywhere and create paint masterpieces on her carpet being intentional with your time, but holding it loosely seeing interruptions as opportunities to practice internal peace vs. external contentment slowing down with Ignatian spirituality and breath prayer the example Ashlee’s mom set as a working mom encouragement for working moms about changing your mind taking a break vs. doing something life-giving when you feel frayed Ashlee’s work with juveniles being tried as adults persisting when your efforts to show kindness don’t go the way you want them to being faithful in the small things that over time create progress creating mutually beneficial and empowering relationships with the POC in your life LINKS MENTIONED: Domestic Monastery (https://amzn.to/30sWwMI) Practicing the Presence of God (https://amzn.to/33p8XuF) Invitations from God (https://amzn.to/2GDqy99) Spiritual Disciplines Handbook (https://amzn.to/3cUAJSZ) Instagram - @liturgiesforparents (https://www.instagram.com/liturgiesforparents/) Human(Kind) (https://amzn.to/30vOSks) Hamilton (https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/hamilton/3uPmBHWlO6HJ) Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  CONNECT WITH ASHLEE: website (https://www.ashleeeiland.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ashlee_eiland/) CONNECT WITH EMILY: website (https://momstrugglingwell.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/momstrugglingwell/) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/momstrugglingwell/) | patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell) EPISODE SPONSORS: Lost Stock (https://loststock.com/msw) : visit LostStock.com/MSW (https://loststock.com/msw) and do some good by buying a box of clothes and supporting a family in Bangladesh at the same time Will You Be My Friend?

How do you start the conversation with your spouse when you suspect that pornography is a problem in your marriage? Yep, we’re going there today! We're shedding some light on this dark subject and talking practical tips that you can implement when there is a hole in the boat. My guest Rosie gives us hope that it is attainable to have a porn-free marriage if addressed properly and shares all of the right steps to take. Rosie Makinney is a writer, speaker, and podcaster, who ten years ago entered the fight against her husband’s compulsive porn use. Through her faithful and uncompromising stance and his repentance, counseling, and group work, their marriage is now porn-free. From the very beginning of her journey, Rosie has been bold and relentless about reaching other wives struggling with porn-invaded marriages. There is now a thriving recovery community on the central coast of California, supervised by her husband, Mark, a certified sexual addiction therapist. Rosie is the founder of Fight For Love Ministries, which empowers women with both the facts and the faith to fight against porn addiction and its effects on them, their spouses, and their families.

What do you say when someone you love experiences loss? How is even possible to find the blessings when the pain of losing a loved one is your own? If you haven’t experienced grief yourself, you’re likely to have a friend who has and you’ll feel that urge to come alongside them. Today I brought on a listener who helped my sister Katie when she was blindsided with grief and I wanted her to come to share her insight. Emily Honea rides a pony. Not really, but Honea rhymes with pony, so now you might be able to remember how to say her last name. Emily is a regular mom who lives just outside of Dallas, Texas and spends most of her days wrangling her two young boys. She has been married for eleven years and is thankful every day for God’s provision for her through her husband Jeremy. Emily works part-time from home as an online adjunct professor of Communication Studies, and recently started a podcast. It is called Uniquely You Podcast which looks at how God created us each uniquely using the Bible as well as the enneagram. WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: how motherhood revealed Emily’s selfishness dealing with postpartum anxiety after the traumatic birth of her son  navigating a house with high energy people when you like peace and quiet encouragement for moms with kids in the potty training phase the loss of Emily’s father to a brain tumor and what that experience has taught her about grief the six stages of grief the difference between moving on and moving forward how to help friends who are grieving LINKS MENTIONED: Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday (https://amzn.to/32coKMK) Grief Share (https://www.griefshare.org/) That Discomfort You’re Feeling is Grief (https://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief) Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  CONNECT WITH EMILY: instagram (https://www.instagram.com/homesweethonea/) | podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/5HD6sn7rVfz5jGCeaBTl0D)   CONNECT WITH EMILY: website (https://momstrugglingwell.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/momstrugglingwell/) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/momstrugglingwell/) | patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell) EPISODE SPONSORS: Azlo (https://www.azlo.com/p/msw/?utm_campaign=oxford&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=moms-struggling-well) : sign up today with no minimum deposit at azlo.com/msw (https://www.azlo.com/p/msw/?utm_campaign=oxford&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=moms-struggling-well) and get the free small business starter guide Noom (https://www.noom.com/programs/health-weight/exsf01/?group=audio&isvanity=y&lang=en&sp=adresults&step=pros&type=bakedin&upv=3&utm_content=msw&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) : sign up to start your trial today at noom.com/msw (https://www.noom.com/programs/health-weight/exsf01/?group=audio&isvanity=y&lang=en&sp=adresults&step=pros&type=bakedin&upv=3&utm_content=msw&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) Third Love (https://www.thirdlove.com/?discount=AUDIO77M5D14XHXS8&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) : get 15% off your first purchase when you visit thirdlove.com/msw (https://www.thirdlove.com/?discount=AUDIO77M5D14XHXS8&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell)   SHARE THE STRUGGLE!

You know those people that are so full of life and easy to be around that you just feel lighter after spending time with them? That’s my neighbor Tina. And dang it, I miss her!

The mighty dandelion can bloom just about anywhere! Then, just when you think its life is finished;  the seeds fly all over the world and begin again. Just like us. We are dandelions too.

I don’t like it when people make me feel like I need to be more, buy more, or accomplish more. I also don’t like feeling out of control or like I’m falling behind. I am SUCH a fan of Kendra’s concept: Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. Striving towards movement vs. racing to achievement is the perspective shift we are talking about today. Kendra Adachi went to college to become a high school English teacher but instead became the Lazy Genius, passionately and candidly sharing how to stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters. Her work includes hosting The Lazy Genius Podcast, cooking dinner on  Instagram, and convincing her three young kids that talking on the phone is Mommy’s job. She and her husband love raising their family in the same North Carolina city they both grew up in. WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: the difficulty of launching a book in the middle of 2020 Kendra’s love for her whiteboard card games she’s loving during the pandemic Kendra’s life before she developed The Lazy Genius concept doing things because of their importance to you, not someone else simplifying your life by deciding once accomplishing your long-term goals by thinking smaller developing one new ridiculously new habit at a time becoming comfortable with failure Kendra’s new hobby LINKS MENTIONED: Middleditch & Schwartz (https://www.middleditchandschwartz.com/netflix-specials) Thinkboard (https://www.think-board.com/) Skip-Bo (https://amzn.to/2XTzbSS) Monopoly Deal (https://amzn.to/33Vr1xm) Horseopoloy (https://amzn.to/3iNkGbx) We Wonder podcast (https://www.wewonderpod.com/) Olive & June nail polish (https://oliveandjune.com/) Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  CONNECT WITH KENDRA: website (https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/thelazygenius) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/thelazygeniuscollective/) | podcast (https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/lazy) CONNECT WITH EMILY: website (https://momstrugglingwell.com/) | instagram (https://www.instagram.com/momstrugglingwell/) | facebook (https://www.facebook.com/momstrugglingwell/) | patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell) EPISODE SPONSORS: Third Love (https://www.thirdlove.com/?discount=AUDIO77M5D14XHXS8&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) : get 15% off your first purchase when you visit thirdlove.com/msw (https://www.thirdlove.com/?discount=AUDIO77M5D14XHXS8&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=momstrugglingwell) Homeschool Buyers Co-Op (https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/) : sign up for your free membership at homeschoolbuyersco-op.org (https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/) and use code MSW to get 5,000 smart points SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/momstrugglingwell)   SHARE THE STRUGGLE!
