So many people in our culture today feel the pressure to strive and achieve what they feel like God has charged them to do. In this conversation I sit down with my good friend Alex Seeley, Lead Pastor of The Belonging Co. church in Nashville, Tennessee, to discuss what it looks like to strip away these mindsets that hold us back.

Alex powerfully shares about her experience growing up with an eating disorder, how to tend to your inner world, and ultimately what it looks like to find true freedom in Christ in whatever areas of our lives we are kept in bondage.

As you listen to this last episode of season 1 of The Godmother, I hope you feel liberated to strip away whatever is holding you back and cultivate a greater intimacy with God than ever before!

I?m so excited to sit down with Jamie Ivey on this Thanksgiving day podcast. As you cook your turkey or get ready for fun family events, I hope you?ll join us for this conversation on what it looks like to live with a conviction of your ultimate calling and live the life God meant for you!

In this conversation, we dive into what it looks like to really love others with our lives, how we can bring God glory in everything we do, and how God speaks and guides us through various seasons of our lives.

As you listen today, we hope to bring some joy to your Thanksgiving day and challenge you to be the person God created you specifically to be!

From the time she was in high school, Lila Rose was passionate about fighting for those who have no voice. I?m so excited to sit down with Lila, founder of Live Action?a media and news nonprofit dedicated to ending abortion and inspiring a culture that respects all human life? to discuss her passion and advocacy for the unborn.

In this episode, we dive into how this passion developed in her life, how Godmothers and guides have helped shape her life along the way, and how we can really go about changing people?s hearts and minds when it comes to advocating for life.

I hope this conversation inspires you to use your voice in whatever sphere of influence God has given you!

In this episode, I?m so excited to sit down with my hilarious friend Candace Payne! You may know her as ?Chewbacca Mom,? but she is so much more. Candace has a resilient and defiant joy about her that can?t help but spread to those around her. She shares how the ?what ifs? of our lives hold us back from what God has for us and how God can use friendships in various seasons to propel our destinies forward.

As you tune in today, know this: the joy of the Lord is your strength and He has joy for you in this season!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend & goddaughter Mo Isom Aiken as we unpack what spiritual equipping looks like in life?s messy moments. Even as a mamma of three who are under four years old, God is encountering & equipping Mo in the midst of the mundane. Mo shares what God has shown her about her generation, how God inspired her to write her book ?Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot,? and what it has looked like to navigate today?s culture with grace and uncompromising truth.

As you tune in today, know this: God is willing to encounter & equip you wherever you are. If you?re in the throes of motherhood or in a single season, the Father will meet you there. All you have to do is invite Him in!

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend & someone who has been a goddaughter in my life, Hosanna Wong, as we talk about what it means to walk in everything God has for us. Hosanna shares how it has been the hardest moments of her story that God has used to mold her into the person He created her to be. She dives into the moment she realized that you can?t be a hero without a battle, and how that mindset has shaped the way she lives today.

Ultimately, we all want someone to give us permission and to challenge us to be exactly who God has created us to be. As Hosanna shares how receiving that permission was pivotal in her own life, I hope this conversation gives you that same permission. The world needs what YOU have?it?s time to get MOVING!

Rebekah also shares about her experience with Godmothers in her life as well as what it has looked like to make the transition from being a goddaughter to a godmother herself.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! I know that I always come away from my time with Rebekah feeling refreshed and strengthened, and hope you do as well!

In this special episode, I sit down with my firstborn son Addison as we dive deep into the Godmothers message. Originally recorded for The Messenger Podcast, I felt that this conversation perfectly encapsulated what it means to be a Godmother and why we need them in today?s culture.

I share about my experience as a young woman who desperately ached for an older woman to come into my life as a guide, showing me what to and what not to do, and while I never had that woman in my own life, my hope with this message is to come alongside you and do just that.

Tune in as Addison and I go deep into the heart of this message, and hopefully help you bridge a few gaps in your life along the way.

Godmothers are those who recognize the gaps in our lives and call us higher. They see opportunities for growth, provide answers, and call out unrealized potential. Listen in as Lisa seeks to connect the goddaughters with the godmothers and watch how God uses relationships to bridge these gaps in our lives.
