Rooted + Rested - Embracing Peace And Rest Through Faith And Self-Care...and a touch of Lavender

In this episode of the Armor of God series, Lisa shares a deeply personal story from her lavender fields about trust, faith, and God’s faithfulness in moments of uncertainty.

What if the way you finish this year matters more than how much you accomplished?

In this final episode of the Rooted + Rested: A Season of Peace series, we slow down and reflect on the journey we’ve taken through the Lord’s Prayer — not as a routine prayer, but as a rhythm for meeting with God in everyday life, work, and decision-making.

“Lead us not into temptation.”

For busy Christian women — moms, entrepreneurs, leaders, and women carrying a lot — temptation often looks less like rebellion and more like returning to old patterns God already pruned away: overworking, striving, fear-driven decisions, people-pleasing, o...

In Episode 29 of the Rooted + Rested podcast, we dive into Week 4 of our 7-week series on the Lord’s Prayer, focusing on forgiveness: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

If you’ve ever felt like you’re hopping from idea to idea, burning energy but not building anything that truly lasts, this episode will speak right to your heart.

In this inspiring episode of Rooted + Rested, Lisa reflects on the story of Daniel in the lions’ den and the powerful truth that faithfulness is built in the quiet.

In this peaceful episode of Rooted + Rested, Lisa explores what’s really happening in those moments of uncertainty — the gentle tension between our flesh (what we feel and see) and our spirit (what we know...
