It’s one of those rare times where it’s just me and a mic today with no guest to be found. Be assured, I’m bringing lots of random thoughts laced with humor (and hopefully) wisdom along the way. But with the addition of lots of new listeners the last few months, I’m realizing it’s time to share some of what’s on my heart as well as how Life is Messy, God is Good came to be. We’re going to talk very practically today about building our homes on a firm foundation (Matthew 7:24-27). I’m being brutally honest about how that’s looked for our family including practical considerations on living with purpose, perspective, and finding the right people. And spoiler alert, at the end of the day it’s the storms of life that reveal our foundations, making it critical that we build lives that dig deep into the rock of Jesus. I can’t thank you enough for supporting me the last many weeks as we’ve been pushing out my first book-baby. I think my two c-sections might have been less stressful than pushing my words and stories into the world for everyone to see. Doing this with you guys, however, has been a great pleasure. Thank you for the support, and please continue praying for this book to fall in the hands of all those who need a good laugh and a hearty dose of biblical truth. Enjoy today’s show and please consider sharing it with a friend. All things Cynthia Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hello from Colorado! We’re FINALLY on family vacation, and the high temps are in the 70s and the lows are in the 40s. I basically want to rededicate my life to Jesus, I’m so happy right now. But I’m also excited for today’s show because it’s a free-flow of my thoughts around the book I’m reading on vacation (Atomic Habits) and the ways our habits shape our spiritual lives. I also share a little insight into the many ways Colorado has not been our friend over the years–yet we’re back again. I cannot stress to you enough that you need to follow me on social to see a video I will be posting of an “incident” that occurred last time we were here. As an added bonus, I end today’s show with a conversation that Heather MacFadyen and I recently taped for her Don’t Mom Alone podcast. We talk about communicating with our kids, carpool disasters, and the value of an “easy yes” in parenting. This is definitely a summer episode that doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for you to listen! P.S. Did you know MESSmerized has patreon now? All things Cynthia Don't Mom Alone Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to our first season of MESSmerized! We’re kicking off this shiny new podcast with a real and humorous conversation around the ways God unsettles us in order to gently move (or shove) us into new seasons. The definition of mesmerized is “to hold the attention of someone to the exclusion of all else.” So how do we focus on something more than our everyday struggles with approval, busyness, achievement, image, and everything else that so easily captures our hearts? That’s exactly where we are headed with today’s show and I promise you don’t want to miss it. One of my favorite quotes is by Louie Giglio: “Faith thrives in holy discontent. The greatest moments in life can often result from some of the most uncomfortable decisions. Nothing worth having comes without a cost.” What uncomfortable decision is God asking you to make? Why do we say “yes” in the face of the unknown? How do we stop weighing the costs and take that first step of obedience? If you’re anything like me, you’ve felt an unsettling in life that’s getting louder and louder. Let’s break it down together.
