Glordinary
My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s an ordinary life, but better. It’s Glordinary. Let’s be friends as we celebrate God’s Glory and champion the ordinary.

After a month away from the mic, I'm back!
Let’s pick up where we left off with another day-brightening conversation and cup of coffee. Join me for an up-close look at our most recent family vacay. I’ll spill the tea on all those curveballs, eyerolls, and gentle invitations from the One who knows a thing or two about family dynamics.

Twelve. It’s the number of conversations we’ve had about Sabbath. I gotta admit, I’m not hating that. But total honesty? Sabbath sometimes feels like a lot of work, and that’s exactly why I’ve saved Hebrews 4:9 until our final chat.
So, let’s pour one last cup of coffee and talk about how we can possibly add one.more.thing (Sabbath) to our plates. (Spoiler alert: It’s not really an add-on.) Join me for a final chat in our Summer of...
I missed you, Friend! Let's fix that. New episodes starting next week.
A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!
My “to-do” list is currently winning the war against my “done” list. You too? It’s tempting in these moments to criticize and berate myself, as if my entire value is tied to a Post-It note of crossed-off priorities. Lord, help us!
We might as well talk about it because we all do it. Yep, we attach our value to what we do, our identity to our work. Join me in our “Summer of Sabba...

What’s your go-to boredom buster? Let me guess, you don’t have time to be bored! Oh, but Friend, we do and we are.
Boring spots? Yep, these are the empty spaces, the gaps, between our flurry of activities. We’re not exactly comfortable with boring, empty spaces…in our schedules or our hearts. Cue Sabbath!
Join me as we chat through our discomfort and desperate desire to cram li...

Are you in a challenging season that just won’t quit? I hear you. Life sure can knock us down. I know my tendency is to lean in and pray harder. But what if there was another way?
Join me as we continue our “Summer of Sabbath” with a Biblical strategy for those rough patches. We’ll team up with Nehemiah 8 and a counterintuitive way through darker days.

Does this sound familiar? “Ugh! I’m terrible at Sabbath. Great, another place I’m failing.”
Oh, good! I thought I was the only one.
So, let’s chat about when our Sabbath goes off the rails and AWOL, my Friend. Listen in for a raw look at my family’s Sabbath last week. We’ll also check in on Moses, Deuteronomy 5, and what it actually means to “observe” the Sabbath.

What’s your superpower? I’m gonna guess you, like me, mistakenly believe we can be in two places at once. We work at the office, at home, on vacation. We check emails in traffic. We scan headlines at the table. We sneak a text-glance during dinner. We attempt to be connected everywhere and end up being present nowhere. Digital distractions lure us to believe we can actually be i...

Hurry and hustle seem to be our default speed most days. It sure can feel like we’re workhorses, but frankly, I’m running out of horsepower. How about you?
Let’s talk about it, Friend. Join me as we continue our “Summer of Sabbath” series with a practical look at how to rest from Galatians 5:25. Episode 20 mirrors God's pace as we focus on slowing down.

Life moves pretty quickly these days. It seems the older I get, the faster time moves. You too?
With the blur of activities, it can be challenging to notice the big things (or the little things for that matter). That’s why Sabbath invites us to stop and notice what’s right in front of us, just like we see in Exodus 3. Join me as we spotlight "Sabbath Noticing" with Moses and that crazy, burning bush.
Here’s a sma...

Change can be difficult. Sometimes the older I get, the less I need to learn…and the more I need to unlearn. Habits I’ve picked up. Methods for how I do things. Hmm…that can’t be just me. Do you ever feel this way?
Turns out, we’re not the only ones needing to unlearn a thing or two. Let's talk about Exodus 16 when God re-introduces the Sabbath as we continue our "Summer of Sabb...

Do you ever feel like you just need permission to stop? To stop from the constant day-in and day-out of life. To stop from the tyranny of the urgent and the sensory overload of life. To stop from the stress, the woes, the fears, the labor. Permission granted.
Yes, when it comes to Sabbath, we not only have permission to stop, but a responsibility to do so. Our bodies need it, an...

I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.
Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my...

How are you feeling today? Tired, worn, burned out? I'm guessing your response, like mine, probably wouldn't be "well-rested."
Life is fast and furious! It's why we crave down-time, vacation, and a chance to unplug. Not only are we wired for respite, our bodies (and souls) actually require it.
Join me as we chat through Matthew 11:28-30. We'll talk about all things R & R for...
Whether life feels exhilarating or exhausting, there's good news! A little R & R for the soul is here with Glordinary's Summer of Sabbath.
Back by request, find out where we're heading this month as Stacy offers a sneak peek into the refresh your soul desires.
This is it! We’re in the home stretch now. Maycember is nearly over. And as eager as I am to finish the month, the school year, the season, the fill-in-the-blank, how I finish makes a difference.
Join me as we chat about not just finishing but finishing well. We’ll take a peek at some tiny words of wisdom from an equally tiny book- Haggai 1:13-15. This bite-size nugget of Truth is just the pop of protein we need to finish well.
Listen in for the final chat with our first Glordinary Guest, Becky Niemeyer. She'll share the ongoing twists and turns of life as she describes God's "open-handed extraordinary invitation."
Join me and my dear friend, Becky Niemeyer, as she continues with her CRAZY story of the extraordinary YES in her life. Enjoy this raw, honest chat in part 2 of my conversation with Becky.
I’ve got a secret! When I daydreamed about launching a podcast, I assumed it would be “interview style” with various guests. I started writing out potential names, topics, and questions. Fast-forward to this week, and we are debuting our first Glordinary Guest episode. These occasional episodes will feature an ordinary friend living a Glordinary life because, well, I can relate to ordinary. You too?
Listen in as I invite my dear fr...
