      Amazing Grace In the Darkest Hour With Sheldon Jernigan
      Oct 27 2025
      This week’s episode is one of the most personal and powerful ones I’ve ever shared. I sit down with my son, Sheldon, for a raw and honest conversation about addiction, resilience, and redemption. Together, we open up about years of pain, prayer, and perseverance, and how God’s grace met us both in the middle of our mess.Sheldon shares how his addiction began at a young age, what recovery has truly taught him, and why he believes his purpose now is to help others find freedom. I talk about the journey from a mother’s perspective, learning when to let go, how to love without enabling, and how faith sustained me when hope felt lost.This is for every parent, every family, and every person who needs to know that no matter how dark it gets, there is always a way back to the light.Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of drug addiction, incarceration, and loss, which may be difficult for some listeners.

      [1:45] Growing up without a father and the search for acceptance
      [5:00] The early signs of addiction and the spiral that followed

    • Make One Stranger Smile Today and Watch Your Day Change

      Make One Stranger Smile Today and Watch Your Day Change
      Oct 20 2025
      This week, I sit down with one of the kindest souls I know, someone who believes the smallest act of kindness can ripple further than we imagine. His name is Garrett Aune, and we work and volunteer together. His philosophy is simple: one smile can change everything. We talk about empathy as a muscle, the unexpected ways joy returns when you give it away, and how one day of intentional kindness led to a movement of connection and purpose. He opens up about loss, resilience, and serving others even when your own heart feels heavy. Together, we explore what happens when you trade judgment for generosity, how to stay grounded when the world feels chaotic, and why the best way to change your day is to brighten someone else’s.

      Episode Highlights:
      [1:45] The story that started it all—helping one stranger in need
      [5:20] How kindness builds confidence and community
      [9:10] Turning pain into purpose through volunteering
      [13:45] The science of smiling—and how it rewires your brain
      [18:30] Everyday opportunities to serve where you are
      [24:00] Why gratitude grows when you give it away
      [31:15] How helping others helps you heal
      [38:00] The challenge: make one stranger smile today

    • Leave A Soul Print!

      Leave A Soul Print!
      Oct 15 2025
      This morning, as I ran beneath the glow of the full moon, I couldn’t help but think about my late husband, Hugh Smith, and the lasting imprint he left on my heart and the lives of so many others. Hugh lived his life with intention. He was serving, loving, and growing closer to God every single day. Even in his final years, he began each morning on his knees, praying, “Hey Dad…show me how to do Your will.”Today I’m sharing how Hugh’s legacy of recovery, faith, and kindness continues to shape me. When I think about the way he loved without judgment, his example reminds us all to live with grace and to leave a soul print everywhere we go. Because the world doesn’t need more critics, it needs more people willing to love, forgive, and shine light into the darkness.
      Episode Highlights
      [01:00] Morning reflections and gratitude on the trail
      [02:30] Remembering Hugh’s 26 years of sobriety and his spiritual journey
      [04:15] Daily prayer and calling God “Dad”
      [05:00] Leaving a soul print and living with purpose
      [06:15] Lessons from Andy Stanley: God’s upside-down pyramid
      [07:00] Finding beauty in reminders of love, even through loss
      [09:30] Living as the light in a world that needs love
