Motherhood will break you open in ways you never expected - and it will also reveal a strength you didn’t know you had.

In this episode, Lisa Stover invites you into an honest conversation resilience in motherhood. Not the kind of resilience that looks picture-perfect, but the kind that’s built in the middle of sleepless nights, unanswered prayers, and a thousand small acts of love.

Lisa shares her own story of becoming a mom while walking through loss, burnout, and healing - and how God met her in it all. Together, we’ll talk about what it means to care for your body, nurture your spirit, and find community in the chaos.

This is an episode for the mama who feels unseen, weary, or like she’s running on empty. You are not alone. Your motherhood matters. And God is using even this season to shape something holy within you.

When tragedy strikes and the headlines feel unbearable, how do we hold onto hope?

In this episode of Resilient, Lisa Stover opens her heart to process the grief and heaviness so many are feeling in light of recent events. From the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk to the tragic school shooting in Minnesota, Lisa reflects on the pain, confusion, and awakening that have followed—and the powerful ways God is still at work through it all.

With honesty and compassion, she explores what it means to live with faith, courage, and eternal perspective when the world feels dark. Through the example of Charlie and Erika Kirk, Lisa reminds us that resilience isn’t found in our own strength, but in Christ alone - the One who brings beauty from ashes and hope from heartbreak.

If your heart feels heavy, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone - and that God is still good, even here.

We’ve all heard it - just be consistent. Whether it’s in work, fitness, parenting, or social media, consistency is often lifted up as the key to success. But what happens when life leaves you with nothing left to give?

In this episode of Resilient, Lisa Stover shares honestly about stepping back from the constant push to “show up” online and in leadership roles, and how creating margin in her life became more important than chasing consistency. From navigating reintegration after deployment, to health challenges, to the exhaustion of always being “on” in the public eye, Lisa explores why resilience isn’t about relentless hustle, it’s about knowing when to pause.

If you’ve ever felt burned out by the pressure to keep producing, this episode will remind you that your worth isn’t measured by output, and sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is make space for rest, presence, and run to Christ.

In this episode, Lisa Stover dives into the true meaning of servant leadership—and why it’s more than just a buzzword. Drawing from Scripture, personal experiences, and even a recent trip to Rome, she explores how leadership rooted in humility and sacrifice stands in stark contrast to the self-serving mindset often found in today’s culture. Whether you’re leading a team, managing a household, or simply wondering what it means to step into a new role, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your motivations and embrace leadership as a calling to serve, not to be served.

What happens when hope and heartbreak meet in the same moment?

She shares her raw journey through grief, postpartum anxiety, and the silent suffering that followed, offering an honest reflection on what it’s like to live in a season of darkness and unanswered prayers.

Drawing powerful parallels to Holy Saturday—the day between Jesus’ death and resurrection—Lisa explores the sacred silence many of us experience in life’s “in-between.” The days where God feels distant, and the pain feels overwhelming.

Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage, loss, or are navigating a waiting season of your own, Lisa’s story is a powerful reminder: God hasn’t left you. Sunday is coming.
