Hey! Welcome to the Friends of a Feather podcast! I'm your host, Wren! As women, we need to build each other up, to encourage each other in our walks with Jesus. Each week, I get to chat with a friend who has a story to tell, a passion to share, or a dream she is pursuing. Be encouraged! We are all friends of a feather; let's stick together!

When Abby Turner’s oldest child was in 4th grade, his teachers suggested they screen him for ADHD. In the middle of doing the assessment, they realized that their 2-yr-old daughter actually scored higher on the scale.

Thus, their adventure began.

Abby talks about the unique specifics regarding their children’s characteristics, and what fueled her current calling to encourage and support parents of children with ADHD, using both Biblical and psychological tools.

Five years ago today’s guest, Leslie Glass, found herself in a life situation that can best be described as chaotic. Her family moved away far enough to disconnect them from the life they knew, losing the support and closeness to friends and their church fmaily.

With all that she has on her plate, LaToya first tackled the question “How do you get it all done?

And then we got deep, as LaToya shared a portion of her “backstory” with us.

“Growing Slow” is not only the name of author Jennifer Dukes Lee's latest book but the topic of today’s conversation.

Living on a farm in rural Iowa, Jennifer and her husband loved the idea of leaving their fast-paced jobs to raise a family and run a farm. Far from the hustle and bustle they both had become accustomed to, she had no idea that stress, or “hurry sickness”, would ever again apply to her.

Until during a routine visit to her doctor, who told her that she truly needed to make some changes.

Enjoy listening to this episode today!

Do you struggle with seeking the Lord in prayer?

Do you ever get to a point where you think “I’m not going to do this well, so why even try?”

If so, you’re not the only one!

The perfectionist in us sometimes keeps us from going to God in prayer, and then we tend to feel guilty about that. Listen, getting lost in silly or inconsequential activities will happen (think: scrolling through Instagram or getting lost in Pinterest) - because we’re human.

But we don’t have to allow shame about doing those things to stop us from going back to God.

We don’t have to feel defeated before we even start. Val and I had a great conversation about her getting off Instagram last February. And if you’re struggling with getting sucked into any platform and being obedient to what God’s calling you to do personally, there’s lots of “gold” in this episode.

Ginny Owens has spent the last two decades as a singer/songwriter, author, teacher, and advocate. Her unique musical style and inspirational lyrics have taken her to many diverse venues, including the White House, the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair, and the National Day of Prayer in Washington, DC. She has served as an adjunct professor at her Alma Mater, Belmont University in Nashville, TN, as a worship leader, and has partnered with non-profits. Her latest book, Singing in the Dark, is available on Amazon and in local bookstores.

Music has always been a part of her life, and she was the recipient of the Gospel Music Association’s New Artist of the Year in 2000, recording over 10 albums since that time.

As a child, she climbed trees, rode bikes, and played with the neighborhood kids.

What might also be mentioned - for those who do not know her - is that Ginny Owens accomplished all this after losing her sight at age 3.

We sat down for a conversation recently and talked about finding peace during these turbulent times. It was a conversation surrounded by grace, and she had some gentle, encouraging thoughts to share with us...

In a recent conversation with Christy Wright, author, personal growth expert, and founder of “Business Boutique” she shared encouragement to help you build your confidence, grow your faith, and become the person God wants you to be. 

We walk around with this heavy belief, the lie that we’re not doing a good job...at work, at home. That we’re not doing the things God created us to do. Not being the woman God created us to be.

The only way to combat those beliefs is with the truth! We need to get out of our own way…

The problem with our calendars is not the calendar.

For the past six years, Christa Hutchins has had the honor of volunteering for Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies. She serves on the Executive Team for Online Bible Studies as the Coordinator of Reality.

After a period of explosive growth in the ministry, she participated in a strategic reorganization that has positioned them for future growth and more effective ministry.

Her knack for “doing things” has come in handy as they have created our own systems for small group registration, volunteer applications and screening, quality service surveying and other administrative tasks.

You will hear how Christa learned what her gifts were while working with Prov 31 Women Ministries and you may find your freedom in serving God in a way you didn't expect after listening!

Thrilled to have Monique Scrip on the show today. She is a leadership coach and business mentor.

Beyond her skills as a coach, she is a wife to her husband Matt and adoptive mom of three energetic boys (and even a boy dog, Rocco). Completely outnumbered, her family is loud, fully of energy and raising boys is pretty much a comedy show! They keep me on her toes and there is never a dull moment. They live in Tennessee where they enjoy being outdoors and being involved with their church. They are also a family that is passionate about foster care and adoption.
