— "I have more understanding than my elders, for I obey your precepts" — and unpacking why the flex isn't age or experience, it's alignment with divine instruction. With a little help from ChatGPT (and the Holy Spirit), I dig into the Hebrew roots of the word precepts and explore what it truly means to close the gap between knowing better and actually doing better. I'm getting personal about my 20-year quiet season with God, the audacious prayer I prayed on my birthday, and the small but bold act of inviting fellow baseball parents to pray over our kids before a tournament — and what happened when I did. I'm also sharing a new commitment: tracking answered prayers, observed miracles, and moments of alignment as a living record of God moving in everyday life. And I'm launching a new recurring segment where I share these moments — and I want to hear yours too. In this episode: Psalms 119:100 and the Hebrew meaning of precepts Closing the gap between inspiration and action 20 years of keeping faith private — and why that's changing Praying over the baseball team (and inviting others to join) A birthday prayer for the year: growing closer to God than ever before How to track and notice God moving in your life Work hard, mom harder, love hardest — and shine God's love out into the world.
