What if the greatest legacy you leave your children isn’t your wisdom, protection, or provision — but your story?

In this heartfelt episode, I open Exodus 13 and unpack the moment God told His people to tell their children what He had done — not just once, but every generation. Somewhere in those words is our modern‑day calling as parents, grandparents, and mentors: to keep telling the stories of His faithfulness.

You’ll hear how sharing your own testimony becomes the key to raising kids who know and love the Lord for themselves, and why your unfinished, messy story might be the very thing God wants to use most.

Together we’ll explore:

• How your testimony becomes a modern‑day Exodus in your family

• Practical ways to weave faith stories into everyday life

• The danger of silence — and what happens when culture fills in the blanks

• Why your real, imperfect story is still holy, powerful, and worth telling

There’s also a companion blog post to go along with today’s episode — with reflection questions, a scripture breakdown of Exodus 13, and more encouragement to help you begin sharing your story in your own family. It’s a beautiful next step if you're ready to go deeper.

I’ll also walk you through two free tools I created just for you:

• Legacy of Faith Guided Journal — a free printable to help you reflect on and record your story

• The Healing Mirror — a companion tool to uncover what God’s been writing through your healing journey

If your heart is craving deeper restoration, I’d love to invite you to the Renew & Restore Women’s Retreat this February in the Smoky Mountains — a sacred space to rest, heal, and reconnect with God.

And if you're in need of more support and or help with breaking generational patterns of dysfunction in your family dynamic, book a family coaching or biblical counseling session with me here

Let’s raise a generation that knows the Lord — not just by doctrine, but by the living testimonies they’ve heard from us.

xoxo,

Danielle

I never expected Exodus 4 to hit me like it did. God had just called Moses to lead His people out of slavery—yet on the way to Egypt, He nearly killed him. Why? Because Moses had ignored something God had already asked him to do.

In this episode, I’m getting honest about the places in our lives where we try to lead, serve, parent, or minister—while quietly avoiding obedience in our own hearts.

We’ll talk about:

• What happened between God, Moses, and Zipporah on the road to Egypt

• Why obedience in your private life always precedes spiritual authority

• How compromise creeps in, even in “Christian” homes

• And why we can’t teach our kids emotional responsibility if we’re not living it ourselves

This one is tender, sobering, and deeply personal—and I pray it helps you pause and invite God to meet you on the way, just like He did with Moses.

God, Do You See My Suffering? Finding Purpose in Pain and Hope in the Darkness

Hey friends — it’s Danielle.

If you’re in a season of pain right now, I want you to know: I see you. More importantly, God sees you.

In this episode, I’m opening up the pages of Job 14 and inviting you into a real and raw conversation about suffering, grief, anxiety, trauma, and the questions we all wrestle with when life hurts.

I’m not here to give you quick answers. I’m here to sit with you in the hard and speak truth over your heart.

In this episode, we’ll walk through:

🔹 7 deep, soul-level questions we ALL ask in suffering (and how God answers each one) 🔹 What Job 14 teaches us about lament, honesty, and hope 🔹 Why your pain is not a punishment 🔹 How God uses suffering to shape, strengthen, and sanctify 🔹 The hope we have—even when God feels silent

If you’ve ever said, “Why is this happening? Where is God? Will this ever end?” — this one’s for you. Whether you’re battling migraines like I do, carrying trauma, or helping someone else through their valley, this is a space for grace, comfort, and truth.

💬 “Job didn’t pretend to be okay. And God didn’t push him away. Your honesty is welcome here.”
