We’re getting real about the pressure to be “perfect” as we step into a new year—spiritually, physically, in our parenting, marriages, and even our health. Monique opens up about her battle with perfectionism rooted in childhood trauma and how the enemy uses even our good motives to burn us out. Robyn shares recent conversations about releasing control and learning to rest instead of striving .

Through Hebrews 12 and Hebrews 6, we discover that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith—not us . God’s calling us to step into His grace, trust His timing, and embrace Sabbath rest even when it feels uncomfortable. Take time today to ask the Lord: how are You calling me to rest this year? Grab your journal, pray through it, and share this encouragement with a friend who needs to hear it.

We’re sitting down with Ronda Luna, Director of Options for Women Menominee, to explore how pregnancy resource centers offer life-affirming support beyond just a pregnancy test. Ronda shares the heart behind their “Earn While You Learn” program, limited obstetrical ultrasounds, and pregnancy options counseling—all wrapped in compassionate care that meets women and families right where they are without judgment. We dive into how Options serves as an extension of the church for those with church hurt, providing parenting education, post-abortion recovery, miscarriage support, and practical resources like diapers and clothing.

Together, we wrestle with the real-life challenges facing moms and dads navigating unplanned pregnancies, discussing how biblical wisdom and community support transform fear into hope. From the urgent need for male mentors to volunteer opportunities that embody being the hands and feet of Jesus, Ronda reveals how simple acts of compassion—like giving someone a ride or helping with a grocery run—create profound Kingdom impact. Whether you’re exploring ways to serve in Christian ministry or walking through your own pregnancy journey, we invite you to reflect on how God might be calling you to support life-affirming work in your community.

We sit down with Ronda Luna to tenderly open a heavy but deeply important conversation about abortion, loss, and the presence of God in the midst of unimaginable decisions. We explore her personal story, the medical pressure she faced, and how grief, shame, and questions about God’s goodness collided with her desire to choose life. Together, we lean into honest Christian living, spiritual growth, and Christ-centered compassion for women and men carrying this hidden pain.

In this episode, we wrestle with post-abortion trauma, miscarriage, and the lie that anyone has to suffer alone. Ronda shares how Jesus met her in post-abortion recovery, offering biblical wisdom, forgiveness, and a path to healing that reaches into mental health, marriage, and family. We invite you to reflect, pray through your own story or that of someone you love, and consider sharing this conversation with anyone navigating abortion, miscarriage, or unresolved grief so they can encounter God’s mercy and hope.
