There is a good saying:   Hikers on the Appalachian trail have this mantra “hike your own hike”—that is, resist the urge to compare how many miles you cover in a day to how far other hikers are traveling.  Today we are diving into the Highlight Reels.Last week, I caught myself grabbing my phone to do something quickly before calling it a day, and 30 minutes later, I found myself in a different state of mind than doing the message I wanted to send to someone.  I trapped myself in the Highlight Reels of Life.  Some of the reels were fun and inspirational; influencers are sharing, self-promotion, living an epic lifestyle, a pulled-together life, and a perfect picture of one’s life.  As I thought about the 30 minutes that flew by, it made me think about so many things.  First, I fully admit I use reels; I share the content of all that I mentioned, depending on the day/week or what is happening in my life.   My mind was flooded with questions.   Listen now on how to move from the Highlight Reels to find real contentment.     

 Happy Valentines Day, Friends!  Today wanted to remind you are loved.  And to stop writing love letters to yourself and read the ones from Jesus. Today we are taking a glimpse of How Great His Love Is For You!   

How often do we catch ourselves saying, "I'm Good"? And you may be "Good," and for some of us, that far from the truth. So today, we will dive from "I'm Good, To Betters Day Ahead," unlocking the lies of our human nature and looking at some great biblical examples of where even some of the greats struggled and turned to God. Today's episode is to set you free and find healing over fear, worry, anxiety, and depression, and that's more than okay to seek help from a professional. Or to give you the courage when you are with your tribe to move from "I'm Good" to share honestly and vulnerably how you are doing.  

Our new year’s resolutions. Goals, diets. Workout plans, setting out to get organized and to book more travel, or maybe we just jumped on the trend that others are doing, or maybe? Just go with the flow.  Those are all excellent for having a focus and setting the course of direction for the year.  And today, we will talk about the direction for setting sail with Him. If we are really honest, we want to make changes, become more, tackle those giants within, become less distracted, and be more present. The above deck of the boat looks too inviting not to kick back into a lounge chair as we sunbathe and capture those sunsets as we sip on our favorite beverage and read the latest juicy novel to get lost in.  The deck life allows us to live comfortably and lets us pause life for just a moment.  This year what if nothing changed?  Would you be satisfied?  Would you accept it was just not your time? Your year?  Or not meant to be? Today dive in to LIVE THE LIFE OF ADVENTURE YOU'VE DREAMED OF...  

Hey Hey, Friends!   On the last episode of Cara Podcast, we dove into the hope of the season and the wisdom of the Wise Men, and this week, we will dive a bit deeper into the boldness of faith! I believe for so many of you that this season has a gift and a wonder that will spark and ignite within for you to experience The Wonder of the World fully.  He is the wonder of the world that sets miracles into motion.  

Hey Hey, Friends!  How are you?   Happy December!! WOW, there is  30 days left in 2022, and this is the season of expectancy and anticipation!  This season can be filled with so much hope and joy, and it can also be filled with less than expectancy.  Today we will dive into the hope of the season and the wisdom from the Wise Men.Those wise men were pretty amazing! You see, they came with expectancy, with what they had, and boy, they were super wise as they followed the star to come worship and provide gifts to a baby boy. This week we will dive into one of the gifts they brought.  I think any one of us would love the gift of gold.  Gold is precious.  Gold today, on 12/1, just took a significant price increase to 1800 an ounce, the biggest leap in 2 years.  So that Gold that was brought to the baby over 2000 years ago that was a gift reserved for kings was just as valuable as it is in 2022.Listen in on mhw to make hope, wonder, and worship a part of your Christmas Season.  

Love comes out of the heart.   Today we will dive into the heart issues and hit the slow-down button this holiday season to experience a season of gratitude that will become the new source of joy in your lives.  My heart desires you all to feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude deep in your heart, bones, and souls as the season's stress becomes flipped to gratitude.   

Hey, Hey, Friends! How often do you find yourself scrolling your Insta Feed and seeing all of the influencers sharing reels on how to have your best life? And if your reel looks like nothing they are experiencing, you have missed out on life.   His Influence is one that you will never miss out on; He is the only influencer in this world that truly matters. Everything else fades away. Yes, we love our Golden Goose shoes, the latest Target finds. To experience that epic stay in some wanderlust area, there is nothing wrong with that. However, our souls are so thirsty for something different. For many of us, we would love for a wellspring of life-giving water to bubble and quench our thirst for the things of the world. Today listen to how to experience a juicy squirt from the wellspring to move confidently in the way He is leading you.  

 The newest episode of the Cara Podcast dropped. Our faith can be shaken in our current world, and we can find ourselves longing for something different. How do we turn that longing into living in possibility full of faith to walk in step with Him as He leads us? Faith can cut through the circumstances, the shame, the hurt, the guilt, the fear, and allows us to see His promises clearly.  

Hey Hey, Friends! How are you? As we head into Labor Day weekend and enjoy the last weekend of summer fun as we stand on the edge of fall, knocking on the door. When I think of standing on the edge, it feels like so many are on edge that the battle is real for our hearts. And darkness is trying to throw those stones to fill our hearts with rocks that become hardened and let love lose its grip.Today we are diving into the heart work that He is calling you and me to. Without love, all our work is null and void. So let's get our hearts in the right posture by tuning into the Cara Podcast.  

 Hey, Hey Friends, how are you?!?   If you stroll down the isles of the local stores or rush through the grocery store, have you noticed that Halloween and Christmas are starting to fill the shelves, from decor to candy, to PSL lattes and to all the things that make you desire to fast forward through the current season to the next? Today, let's get focused on the here and now.  

Hey, Hey Friends, how are you?!? It’s hard to believe we are ushering in August. With that in mind…let’s begin this month by receiving His Grace..the gift He gives so freely to refresh us in the dead heat of the summer. Grace is like a reprieve for our hearts.   Through grace, God works an effective change in our hearts and lives.  

Who's exhausted and feels maybe your missing out on bringing heaven to earth? Today we are diving in to find the rest our bodies need to recharge and be ready to carry heaven on earth. First, you know who you are; the ones that rest does not come easily; it's hard to turn off the mind, the feeling that the to-do list is significant, and that if we rest, we will only slip further behind….I see you, and I know exactly what your mind says when the words: slow down, take a break, get a snack and take a nap. And here is the most fantastic fact about changing the world:  Jesus changed the world in His three years of public ministry. Yet He also knew when to rest. Jesus doesn't just offer rest. He teaches and demonstrates how to do it through the gospels and parables.   Rest is not a luxury. It is a necessity. An act of worship we can glean from His earthly life, Jesus displayed many facets of rest. Spiritual rest. Physical rest. Mental rest. What would a day look like to Jesus in our Modern Day?
