That One Time I Went to Jail!
Trusting God in difficult times can be hard. Whether born again or not, painful seasons in life will be inevitable. Job 14 says, "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble..." He will use us in any circumstances, even in the darkest times, so His message of Love can be put right. Every trial God sends, even our daily frustrations, are meant to test us and grow us stronger in faith.
Join this conversation as I share how I landed in jail and served God’s will as He desired. I own the truth that when you are in a dark time, trust God, who gives you light to see the good in all situations. This is an honest message that is always true.

It Is Hard Making Friends with Other Couples!

Making friends with other couples can be done, but it is going to take you a little work if you want it to be real, authentic, genuine, or build something you can draw from time to time. Building real relationships with other couples is more than just meeting them; it takes more effort to know them, build friendships and grow meaningful relationships. It’s just like any other relationship; marriage, dating or building your own personal relationships with your friends.

In today's episode, we will be discussing why it is important for couples to make friends with other couples and practical ways to meet and build authentic relationships. Having a relationship with other couples who know the struggle, who understand where you’re coming from and who can support and hold you accountable makes your relationship easier.

How to Adjust When Your Village Moves Away

It is difficult when our friends, family members, and loved ones move away. We can't help but feel a sense of loss when we lose contact with them. It can be particularly challenging when they move far away, and we have no means of being physically in contact with them. However, there are ways to make the adjustment easier on us. These include scheduling appointments, making new friends, participating in therapy, or planning in advance for future visits.

Join this conversation with Liz Tillman Nichols as we talk about what a village is, who our village is, what happens when our village moves away, and how to readjust when we move away from our village. Liz is the founder of Dope as a Mother, a teacher, mother, wife, and serial entrepreneur who has built a platform dedicated to uplifting moms and encouraging them to be exactly who they want to be.
