  • 100. Our First 100: Walking on a Journey of Faith
    Apr 7 2026

    Have you ever wondered what it really takes to stay faithful—even when every distraction or doubt tempts you to give up?

    Hitting 100 episodes wasn’t just a milestone for us—it was a journey through doubts, breaks, and moments when we seriously questioned if we should keep going. If you’ve found yourself craving deeper meaning, feeling alone or in need of real encouragement to persevere in your own life, this episode is for you.

    In reflecting on our podcast journey, we’re sharing what it looks like to walk with God and each other through honest challenges, shifting seasons, and unexpected blessings.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    · The real story behind our “staying power”—including the moments we almost quit, and how your encouragement pulled us through

    · How looking back can help you see God’s hand in your life and renew your sense of purpose, especially if you feel stuck or unseen right now

    · How admitting imperfection and building authentic relationships can deepen faith and make space for community, hope, and growth

    We invite you to take a few minutes after listening to this episode - maybe in prayer or journaling – and gently reflect on what God might be doing in this age.

    · What is God showing you right now?

    · How has he been a part of your life today?

    · How might God be inviting you to respond?

    Join us for this milestone episode—hit play and let’s walk through this season of faith, change, and next steps together.

  • 099. Seasons of Transition: Finding Rhythm and Rest in Times of Change
    Mar 31 2026

    Are you feeling uprooted by life changes and wondering if you’ll ever feel “at home” again?

    Transitions—whether moving, changing jobs, sending kids off to college, or even a shift in routine—can leave you feeling adrift, uncertain, or even questioning your identity.

    In this episode of Of Sound Mind and Spirit, we dive deep into why those in-between seasons can be so disorienting, and how, even when things feel dormant or unsettled, growth is quietly taking root beneath the surface. If you’re longing to regain your rhythm or seeking peace in the midst of change, this conversation is for you.

    Here’s what you’ll gain from tuning in:

    · Practical ways to find rest and self-compassion during times of upheaval, reminding you that it’s okay not to have everything figured out and that gentle daily steps matter.

    · Insights on how to recognize and embrace the hidden growth happening in your own 'winter,' and why transitions are more about transformation than starting over.

    · Encouragement to seek God’s guidance, trust in His plan during uncertainty, and reflect on small spiritual practices that build new routines and lead you toward hope.

    We invite you to take a few minutes after listening to this episode - maybe in prayer or journaling – and gently reflect on what God might be doing in this season of your life.

    · Where in your life are you experiencing transition right now?

    · What feels unfamiliar or uncertain?

    · Can you identify any quiet growth happening beneath the surface?

    · How might God be inviting you to rest, trust, or begin again?

    Press play now and discover how to see your current season of transition in a new light—and why you’re not alone in the journey.

  • 098. What Silence Taught Us: Lessons From a Silent Retreat
    Dec 11 2025

    What might you hear if you finally turned down the noise in your life and simply sat in silence?

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant distractions or struggled to find clarity and peace amid life’s chaos, you’re not alone. In today’s world, silence can feel elusive—but it’s also the missing key to a deeper spiritual life and a more centered daily experience.

    In this episode of Of Sound Mind and Spirit, Lisa Jones and Shelly Kelly share their eye-opening journey at a semi-silent retreat and reveal why creating space for quiet moments not only reconnects you with God but also transforms your inner calm and focus.

    Here’s what you’ll gain from tuning in:

    • Unravel the difference between external silence and interior silence (and why quieting your mind can be more challenging—and rewarding—than just muting the world around you)

    • Simple, practical steps for weaving peaceful pauses into your daily life, even if a silent retreat isn’t in your plans

    • Real talk about why silence can feel uncomfortable, how to gently manage busy thoughts, and what you stand to gain—clarity, calm, and a chance to truly listen for God’s voice

    Press play to take the three-minute silence challenge and start discovering the freedom, insight, and peace waiting for you in the quiet.
