Being single in her late twenties, raising her babies in Israel, and building a life far from the backyard playset she once imagined wasn’t exactly the story she had pictured for herself.

But the story God was writing was so much bigger.

In this episode, she shares how her husband patiently pursued her, how God has proven faithful through every season, and what it has looked like to build a marriage, raise a family overseas, and walk in obedience alongside her husband.

Her joy is contagious, her faith is beautiful, and her story is such a sweet reminder that the life God gives us may look different than the one we imagined—but His faithfulness can be found in every chapter. 🤍

What a truly special episode!

I had the privilege of sitting down with Lauren Kanski, founding senior coach at Ladder (a fitness and nutrition app), for a rich and encouraging conversation. Lauren opens up about her career journey, her walk with faith, and the beautiful realities of family life and motherhood.

She shares practical, grace-filled wisdom on honoring God through caring for your body, prioritizing health without perfection, and making small, faithful choices each day that lead to lasting impact. This episode is full of encouragement, boldness, truth, and holistic insight for women seeking to live well—mind, body, and spirit.

A new year begins with a question: Are we listening?

In this episode, we talk about hearing God’s voice for 2026 and the courage it takes to obey. You’ll also hear from an incredible woman, called to missions—helping women safely bring new life into the world across Africa. From quiet whispers to bold yeses, this conversation is all about recognizing the voice of Jesus and walking in faithful obedience. 🎙️
