The Risk of Saying YES with Stella Reed of The Dream Center
Can we truly be it all? I think this is a common statement I hear from so many women. "We can do it all. We can have it all. We can be a mom, a powerhouse worker, an athlete, a wife, a great friend, and an individual. In reality, being everything to everybody is an impossible task. However, as we learn from today's guest, we can say YES to God first, and everything else can fall into place.

Embracing the Uncharted Journey of Faith with Kayleigh Rogers and Andy Lara
The journey of faith is a beautiful mystery. We might anticipate it being a linear process, but in reality, it's a unique process filled with ups and downs. Often we set an expectation for our journey of faith, but then we are bound to be disappointed. It's also unique for each person and their walk with the Lord.
On today's podcast, Andy and myself are joined by a special guest, my daughter Kayleigh. Kayleigh is the content director for our team. During this episode, we discuss the mystery of the journey of faith and the uncharted path before us of following God. We hear about the walls Kayleigh has experienced and gone through along her walk with God and hear a bit more about Andy's journey of faith as well.
Reflecting on and Celebrating 2021
It's been nearly ten months of the Uncharted Podcast, and on today's episode, we're reflecting on what we've learned throughout 2021. We started this podcast with a plan to discuss the journey of faith and the mystery of God throughout it all. We've had people share with us their unique faith experiences, had interviews with authors, podcasters, and teachers, and dove into many meaningful, in-depth conversations.
Redeeming and Setting Stories Free with Karrie Garcia.
There is no story too broken for Jesus to redeem. When all our formulas break down, there is a Savior who never does. Karrie's story is no different. Karrie grew up in the church. She knew all the formulas she needed to do in order to earn God's love. But as she got older, she realized that all the formulas and striving still didn't satisfy the deep longing for hope in her heart.
During our conversation, we learn about Karrie's journey to hope and are reminded of how easy it can be for us to stop seeking our true source of endless peace: God. It was a beautiful dialogue, and I hope it will help you learn some tools on how to seek God to help you be fulfilled.
