An Emotional Week: My Due Date, TTC, Mother's Day, and Refusing to Partner with Infertility

I cannot believe that it's already 2024 -- where did the time go?! Whether your New Year has been off to a great start or a rocky one, I hope today's episode encourages you to dig in a little deeper to what God has for you. In this episode we dive into our year so far, most of which has included fasting. If you've ever considered doing a fast, we want to encourage you to press into that. Believe it or not, they're biblical! It's all about refraining from something, to replace it with God. We hope you have a beautiful start to the New Year, and we cannot wait to see what He has in store for 2024! If you guys haven’t heard by now, in the month of October I launched a new business called Hazel and Layne. Seeing what God has done so far… has absolutely blown my mind. If you don’t know what Hazel and Layne is, let me give you a twenty second cliff-notes version. In October 2022, I had a miscarriage that would forever change a lot of things in my life. But what happened next is something I never would have expected. In my most broken moment, the Lord birthed a beautiful new thing.

It's been a minute and my favorite guest is back: my best friend, my life partner, my husband! We are wrapping 2023 up with this final episode of the year... and jokes aside, we talk about some pretty big topics. How Jordan feels having to watch me get hate on social media, when he realized I was trending on Fox News, our struggles with infertility, and why we might be moving (soon). What a beautiful year it's been this year... and as we enter the holiday season, we want to take a step back to fully embrace this time together. 2024 will be the year that this podcast turns one year old -- can you believe it?! That being said, we hope you all have a slow, intentional, and beautiful holiday season focused on Jesus, family, and making new memories.  If you guys haven’t heard by now, in the month of October I launched a new business called Hazel and Layne.

In today's episode, we are diving into a difficult, yet relevant topic: pornography. More often than you probably realize, both men and women struggle with this deep addiction. As someone who has also overcome this through the power of Jesus, I am so grateful to have today's special guests, Dave and Ashley Willis. They have an incredibly powerful testimony, and I have no doubt that today is going to help anyone who has been affected by this addiction in any way.

Y'all seem to love the juicy girl chats... so we brought a microphone on our girls trip! We are on the fly with this one but I love how the Lord spoke through us. This was a little different, and a lot of fun. See how we navigate hard topics as friends, calling friends higher in love, edifying them, and listen to us push each other into our God-given callings. I hope you enjoy listening into our random girl chat, and see what daily conversations look like with us.  If you guys haven’t heard by now, in the month of October I launched a new business called Hazel and Layne.

It's not hard to see that things have changed dramatically in the last 10-15 years, and we address all of it in this podcast with JP Sears. He brings truth and light from a Christian perspective, and encourages parents that they were born for a time such as this. That it is a blessing to steward our children in these unprecedented times. Some takeaways from my interview with JP Sears: practical ways to protect your children that are in the public school system responsibilities as a parent to little ones guarding their eyes and ears from what your children are consuming being the hands and feet of Jesus standing up for what's right, even if you're standing alone If you want to connect with JP Sears, you can do so here:YouTubeInstagramFacebook Support the showInstagramTikTokYouTubePinterestTwitterLemon8 Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Chiseled and Called.
