The Other Side of Redemption

Hey all! We're excited to have Mama T in the studio again with us as she and Heather help paint the beautiful story of the other side of redemption. If you joined us last time, Heather was bringing her take on Pride month and what that looked like along with Mama T sharing her heart on loving her while she was on her journey. This week, we get the follow up and the details of how it all went down and what brought Heather to where she is now. Free. So as always, you're going to want to grab your cold drink, your chair and pull up to the table as we get, In the REAL!

It’s Pride Month, Love Your Family Members.

It's June, and we have a lot to talk about and break down. We have Heather's Mom in the studio with us this week. Mama T is here to help lay out her thoughts and share her heart. Seriously, you DON'T want to miss this one!

The Father Wound

Hey everyone! Man, oh man! This week's episode is one for the books! We had the opportunity to watch the documentary, "He Calls Me Daughter". What does that mean? And what does that look like? So many of us know too well the wounds of an earthly father but what does the love of our Heavenly Father look like? We're going to talk about it, so pull up a chair as we get In The REAL!

Sometimes You Have To Step Back

Hey yall!!! In this episode we're talking about the times we need to simply step back so God can step in. Knowing He has a good hope and future for us, many times it simply looks different that what we originally thought. Some days feel heavier than others… the kind that quietly wear you down. But even there... God is still with you. Still strengthening you. Still holding you together in ways you can’t see. 🙌 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 You don’t have to win the whole battle today. Just don’t give up. Take one step. Say one prayer. Hold onto Him a little tighter. The hard days don’t define you... God’s faithfulness does! So as always, grab your coffee and your chair as we get In the REAL!

Rolling with Dean'na's Mom, Jan!

Hey everyone! On this week's episode, we are rolling with Deanna's Mom, Jan Williams! We had the opportunity to have her in the studio and hear her heart and tell some really cool God stories! We hope you pull up a chair, turn on your ears as we get In the REAL! This one is PRETTY AWESOME!!

Authority In Our Identity

Hey hey everyone! On this week's episode we are talking about authority and what that looks like in our lives. Is it our identity, our lists of talents on a resume, what someone calls us or is it something else? These are the questions and we hope to hash out some answers, In the REAL!

Your Truth, My Truth?

Let God In Your Season

God knows us, He knows the seasons we are in, and He loves us, sits with us and walks with us in and through the season. He won’t agree with fear or disbelief but seasons of hardship, pain, and even good ones, He understands them. Don’t try to run or hide your season from Him. Instead, bring it to the table and get In the REAL!
