    I started following Blake on social media in 2020. Blake, thank you for your vulnerability and authenticity of how God is shaping and changing your heart to be more aligned with His. Blake does a great job of protecting info that she needs to keep private while also sharing the outcome of what God is doing in her life. Also a super fun, funny, real person. I’ve loved listening to you, Blake!!

  • Out of Touch

    This is so out of touch with any sort of reality. You’re not working and want to boast about it but push your advertisements hard and create content you can benefit from. Then you talk about how important it was for your family to quit your job so you could be a good mother. I’m not in your tax bracket apparently BUT at least be aware of the mothers that have to try to do everything.

  • So. Good.

    Blake’s words always make me cry in the best way. Every time I pick an episode to listen to I end up tearing up from how relatable and beautiful her stories are and how she speaks with grace and kindness. Thank you Blake, for making this amazing podcast! I’m so thankful for how you model following Christ!

    A FAKE!

    Just like all the other one star reviews said!

    Go to her instagram!

    She is so annoying and her voice makes me cringe bc you can see right through her!

    She’s in this for herself and promoting her own agenda…..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When You Actually Trust God With Your Kids | Bethany Kimsey | Episode 435
Q: So then the question became, so Bethany, do you trust me?
Kimsey says she initially recognized that she did not trust God with her children's outcomes. The story of the oak tree helped her understand that children's growth can be developing beneath the surface beyond what a parent can see.
What Happens When You Actually Trust God With Your Kids | Bethany Kimsey | Episode 435
Q: And I know that you have your own story of walking that out, because like where does that conviction come from for you?
Kimsey says motherhood exposed her reliance on achievement and self-sufficiency. After her first child, she began learning to surrender decisions about parenting to God and to seek the peace she had lacked.
Everyone Saw It Fall Apart, Here's What It Took to Rebuild | Carl & Laura Lentz | Episode 434
Q: What do you see most consistently in women in this situation that you think the church could handle better?
Laura says people should listen without quickly giving advice or imposing their opinions. Friends and churches can offer support and hold space while someone processes the betrayal and decides what to do.
Everyone Saw It Fall Apart, Here's What It Took to Rebuild | Carl & Laura Lentz | Episode 434
Q: So Laura, how did you decide to stay?
Laura says she made the decision day by day, watching Carl's actions and seeking evidence of change rather than relying on promises. She delayed major decisions while in shock, and his pursuit of help and accountability gave her grounds to consider staying.
Are You Staying in the Shallow End? | Guest: Angie Smith | Episode 432
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to move from the shallow end to the deep end?
Start by identifying patterns, practice small, low-stakes changes, and gradually apply more honest conversations with God and others, while anchoring these changes in Scripture and community.
