In this powerful conversation, Anna McLaughlin sits down with Dan Nichols to discuss intentional discipleship in the home. Dan Nichols is a follower of Jesus, married to his best friend Joy, and father to Landon and Declan. He serves as Lead Pastor of Grace Christian Fellowship in Cortland, NY, and is the Founder/President of Northeast Collaborative, a regional church network. Dan holds a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree from Clarks Summit University where he served as an adjunct professor. Dan shares his heart behind creating the "Making Scripture Simple" book series, designed to help upper elementary students engage with God's Word in language they can understand. This episode explores the daily rhythms of parenting with purpose, the importance of family values, and how to persevere through the long journey of raising children who follow Jesus. Whether you're homeschooling, parenting young children, or simply seeking to be more intentional in your faith at home, this conversation offers practical encouragement and biblical wisdom for the journey. Key Points & Timestamps Making Scripture Simple – Inspired by Dan's 8-year-old son's honesty; fills the gap between picture Bibles and standard translations with paraphrase, questions, and coloring pages. Intentional Family Rhythms – Pray immediately after reading; let truth sink in; Scripture must be actionable, not just informational. Family Goals – Live for God, Love others, Learn always, Laugh often, Lead with vision, Listen to the wise, Labor for what matters (taught with hand motions). Feelings vs. Truth – Feelings are real but can lie; truth sets us free (John 8:32); parents should balance comfort with correction and model repentance. Phone Accountability – Children can take phones from parents during family time; open conversations about phone use and impulse control. Parenting for Kingdom Impact – A vision bigger than your lifetime; example of Wilberforce; teach children as you live (Deuteronomy 6). Little Wins Matter – Small encouragements (like children's prayers or comments) are signs of God's work; look for the "small cloud" of His movement. Presence Over Productivity – Choosing presence with children over outside work; wrestling with identity; seeing children as God's sanctifying gift; drawing them close when they act out. Scriptures Mentioned Acts 16 - Paul's connection with the church in Philippi Philippians 1:1-5 - Opening greeting and thanksgiving (read in paraphrase form) Philippians 4:8 - "Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable - think about such things" (Paraphrased as: "Choose to think thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, beautiful, and respectable") Deuteronomy 6 - Teaching children as you live life (sitting, walking, going through daily activities) 1 Corinthians 15:58 - "Stand firm, let nothing move you, always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain" 1 Kings 18 (Elijah and the prophets of Baal story with the cloud the size of a man's hand) John 8:32 - "The truth will set you free" Ephesians 5 - Husbands washing wives with the water of the Word Books & Resources Mentioned By Dan Nichols: Making Scripture Simple: Philippians - https://a.co/d/3yXzwsv Making Scripture Simple: Colossians and Philemon - https://a.co/d/5nv7HhZ Making Scripture Simple: 1st, 2nd, 3rd John and Jude (releasing Christmas 2025) Other Resources: Little Pilgrim's Progress - mentioned as part of Anna's morning time routine - https://a.co/d/iYckMGF Loving the Little Years by Rachel Jankovic - https://a.co/d/cggZHrG Corrie ten Boom testimony interview - both of Dan's sons were riveted watching this - https://www.sermonaudio.com/gb/sermons/130231919195552 "Dents in the Darkness" podcast - https://www.necollaborative.com/dentsinthedarkness Contact Information Website: https://danandjoy.com/ Email: danielhiram@gmail.com Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

In this powerful episode, Anna McLaughlin tackles one of the most painful human experiences: betrayal. Drawing from Malcolm Gladwell's book "Talking to Strangers" and Psalm 73, Anna explores why we often feel we "should have known" when someone betrays our trust, and why that belief is both psychologically understandable and untrue. She offers deep healing and hope for anyone carrying the weight of betrayal, explaining how our capacity to trust—the very thing that made us vulnerable—is actually one of our greatest strengths. This episode is for anyone who has experienced the heartbreak of betrayal and needs to hear three powerful words: "It's not your fault." Key Points Default to Truth: Humans are wired to trust and believe people are telling the truth until there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary The "Should Have Known" Trap: Betrayal often comes with shame and self-blame, but hindsight creates a false sense that warning signs were obvious The Marble Analogy: Evidence accumulates gradually like marbles on a scale until enough weight tips us to see the truth—but we weren't wrong to explain away earlier signs The Cost of Losing Trust: While betrayal is painful, becoming unable to trust (like Harry Markopolos in the Madoff case) leads to isolation, paranoia, and loss of joy Your Tenderness is Strength: The same quality that left you vulnerable to betrayal is what enables you to experience love, connection, and joy Taking it to the Father: Rather than armoring up, we're called to bring our pain to God, trust Him with justice, and choose to remain tender-hearted Abide and Bear: By staying close to God through the healing process, we gain the wisdom and compassion to help others through their own betrayals Scriptures Mentioned Psalm 73 - The psalmist's struggle with seeing the wicked prosper and finding peace in God's sanctuary Key verse: "Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand" (v. 23) "God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever" (v. 26) John 15 - Abiding in the vine and bearing fruit John 20:29 - "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe" (Jesus to Thomas) Books and Resources Mentioned "Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know" by Malcolm Gladwell - https://a.co/d/8cYcDRt "The True Vine" by Andrew Murray - https://a.co/d/hK0zBRB Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

What do you do when the worst thing you can imagine actually happens? When prayers go unanswered and the pain feels unbearable? In this raw and powerful conversation, Anna sits down with JoBeth Polley, who was widowed at 32 and left to navigate grief while raising two adopted children and running a 120-acre cattle farm and construction company. JoBeth doesn't sugarcoat the journey—grief is dark, physically debilitating, and requires serious work. But she also brings hope: joy is attainable, healing is possible, and the only way out is through. This episode is for anyone navigating fresh grief, carrying unresolved pain from years past, or wanting to better support someone who's hurting. JoBeth shares practical strategies for "treating grief like a business," the danger of stuffing emotions, and why anger at God doesn't mean your faith is over—it means you're still in relationship. If you've been sitting in your pain too long, or you're afraid to open the door to grief because you think it has no bottom, this conversation will challenge you to move your feet and do the hard work that leads to freedom. Key Points Harmful Platitudes – Well-meaning phrases ("God needed another angel") can wound and push people away from God. Anger at God = Relationship – Anger doesn't end faith; it shows you're still engaged with Him. Holding Two Emotions – You can grieve deeply and still be thankful at the same time. Grief in the Body – Unresolved grief can show up as illness, even long-term health issues. The "Poopy Diaper" Analogy – Staying stuck in grief without working through it drains you and your relationships. Treat Grief Like Work – Commit to therapy, safe spaces, crying sessions—don't stuff emotions for later. Find Safe People – Share with those who can handle raw grief without judgment. Validation Over Advice – Say "Of course you feel that way" instead of trying to fix or minimize. Download Before Organizing – Let people tell their story often before moving into solutions. No Set Timeline – Grief doesn't vanish after a year; sometimes later milestones feel harder. Gratitude Heals – Shifting thoughts toward thankfulness helps reframe pain. The Only Way Out is Through – Healing comes from walking through grief, not avoiding it. Scriptures Mentioned Lamentations 3:21-23 (New Living Translation): "Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning." (Paraphrased in conversation as "I will never forget this awful time as I grieve over my loss. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope. Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed. His mercies are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness.") Call to love one another: Referenced in discussing how grief gives us greater capacity to love and show up for others Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect: Mentioned in the context that perfection/completeness comes through love, not performance Give thanks in everything: Referenced as God's call to gratitude even while mourning Connect with JoBeth Polley Free 30-minute consultation call: JoBeth offers a no-obligation conversation where she can assess where you are and what kind of support would be most beneficial (grief group, one-on-one coaching, therapy, etc.) - https://auroranetwork.life/connect-with-coach-jobeth Grief Groups: 8-week evidence-based program using the Grief Recovery Method for those who need community and shared understanding - https://auroranetwork.life/coach-jobeth-grief-recovery-group Contact: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jobeth.polley/ If you're feeling that burning inside—that knowing that it's time to deal with your grief—don't wait for the perfect moment or the perfect person. Move your feet. Reach out to JoBeth or another professional. The only way out is through, and peace and joy are waiting on the other side. Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

In this heartfelt anniversary special, Anna celebrates 15 years of marriage by sharing honest reflections on her journey from a wounded young woman with broken templates for love to building a thriving covenant marriage. With vulnerability and humor, she recounts early marriage mishaps (including a thrown suitcase and the "cuddling crisis"), and offers practical wisdom for navigating conflict, staying unified, and allowing marriage to do its sanctifying work. Whether you're married, engaged, or single, Anna's transparency about her struggles and breakthroughs will encourage you that love can grow deeper through challenge—and that God's grace is big enough for all our messy moments. Key Points Prayer is the primary work of marriage - Your role as a wife includes powerful intercessory prayer for your husband, creating shifts in the spiritual realm and transforming your own posture Remember you're on the same team - Fight the problem, not each other; see your spouse as your ally, not your adversary Marriage represents Christ and the Church - Your union is an earthly picture of a heavenly reality, making it a primary target for spiritual attack Recognize your husband's unseen contributions - Like Dwight in The Office, there are countless ways your spouse serves that go unnoticed until they're gone Embrace the "other" - You don't need another version of yourself; you need the complement your spouse provides Marriage is about sanctification, not just happiness - It's "open heart surgery" meant to transform you, not just a fairy tale ending Stay in the conversation - Address issues in the moment, look for the stories underneath the conflict, and break unhealthy dance patterns Use love languages as bridges - Knowing and meeting your spouse's love language can rapidly de-escalate conflict Scriptures Referenced Westminster Shorter Catechism (not Scripture but referenced): "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever" Books & Resources Mentioned Vision Driven Marriage podcast by Leslie & Doug Davis: https://thevisiondrivenmarriage.com/podcast-library/ Derek Prince's teachings on prayer and marriage: https://www.derekprince.com/radio/456 Brené Brown's work on shame and vulnerability, including: Listening to shame - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psN1DORYYV0 The Power Of Vulnerability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o Movies Referenced Sleepless in Seattle - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108160/ Jerry Maguire - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116695/ Still Breathing (with Brendan Fraser): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120211/ Connect with Anna at the Overwhelmed to Overcomer podcast for more honest conversations about faith, family, and freedom in Christ.

Join host Anna McLaughlin in this inspiring conversation with Jennifer Bosma, author, podcaster, and former educator, who radiates joy and encouragement. Jennifer shares her powerful journey of pursuing God-given dreams despite delays, rejections, and life's busy seasons. From waiting 26 years to publish her first children's book to stepping into ministry through pregnancy centers and podcasting, Jennifer's story reminds us that God never forgets the blueprints He places in our hearts. In this episode, you'll discover practical ways to integrate prayer into daily life, the importance of surrendering control to God, and why "true success flows from surrender." Jennifer introduces her "Front Parking Spot" philosophy—a reminder that God wants to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can imagine when we dare to ask boldly and step out in faith. Whether you're a mom with dreams tucked away in a drawer or someone seeking to deepen your prayer life, this conversation will inspire you to take courageous steps of obedience. Key Points Dreams Don't Die – God-given ideas keep returning; honor them with 15–30 minutes a day. Seasons Matter – Motherhood or busyness doesn't cancel your dreams—it just pauses them. God Equips – He provides what's needed, even when you feel inadequate. Surrender Control – Success flows from yielding to God's will, not trying to be in charge. Prayer = Surrender – Prayer draws you close to God and releases control back to Him. Prayer Habits – Pray immediately, use reminders, pray Scripture with kids, and model prayer openly. Bold Asking – Dare to "go for the front parking spot"; God can do more than we imagine (Eph. 3:20). Marriage & Obedience – Respect and pray for your husband, nurture not nag, and take small faithful steps. Scriptures Mentioned Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 1:5 - God knew us before we were formed (foundation for "The Baby Garden") Psalm 23:6 - "Surely goodness and love will follow you all the days of your life, and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" Ephesians 3:20 - God can do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can desire or imagine 2 Kings (Hezekiah laying the letter before the Lord in the temple) James 4:2 - "You do not have because you do not ask" James 4:6-8 - God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble; come near to God and He will come near to you Luke 15 - The parable of the prodigal son and the elder brother Jeremiah 10:23 - A man tries to discern his steps, but the Lord knows where he's going John 3:16 - Referenced in "God is Three in One" Books and Resources Mentioned Jennifer Bosma's Children's Books: "The Baby Garden" - Explains where babies come from based on Jeremiah 1:5; used in pregnancy centers - https://a.co/d/4I6AKw9 "I Know the Plans" - Scriptures prayed over children, written in rhyme with animal families representing seven continents; coming out in board book format - https://a.co/d/cNu6IaB "God is Three in One" - Award-winning book explaining the Trinity to children ages 3+; winner of Nonfiction Book of the Year - https://a.co/d/alySZus Other Books Referenced: "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson - About consistent small actions leading to success - https://a.co/d/hNycNm1 "Atomic Habits" by James Clear - About building better habits through small changes - https://a.co/d/fxaCVho "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by Judy Blume - Inspired Jennifer's love of writing - https://a.co/d/iNg72co Podcasts: Front Parking Spot Podcast - Jennifer's podcast, ranked in top 100 Christian podcasts for moms and families - https://jenniferbosma.com/podcast Where to Find Jennifer Bosma Website: http://www.jenniferbosma.com "Be obedient to what God calls you to do.

In the wake of tragedy and loss, how do we move forward with purpose? This episode explores the profound gift of individual life and calling, especially during seasons of uncertainty and grief. Anna reflects on the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and wrestles with questions of impact, comparison, and faithful stewardship. Through the lens of Mary Oliver's poetry, the parable of the talents, and stories of "small" faithfulness with generational impact, this conversation invites you to consider: What will you do with your one wild and precious life? The answer might be simpler—and more profound—than you think. Key Points Everyone Gets Their Own Life: The realization that each person receives their own unique life as a generous gift from God—to steward, build, or waste as they choose The Danger of Comparison and Judgment: How both comparison (feeling inadequate) and judgment (criticizing others) rob us of power and keep us from our calling Abiding Over Striving: True fruitfulness comes only from abiding in Christ, not from our own efforts or productivity The Right Face on God: Like the one-talent servant, having a distorted view of God's character leads to fear, hiding, and ineffectiveness Small Faithfulness, Generational Impact: Examples of "ordinary" faithfulness (the mother who packed the loaves and fishes, Susanna Wesley) that echoed through generations The Point of Redemption: You may be the turning point in your family line—and healing may take decades, but it impacts thousands of generations Belonging, Stewardship, and Courage: The three core values that undergird purposeful living and kingdom impact Daring Greatly: The courage to step into the arena of your own life rather than standing on the outside looking in Scriptures Referenced John 15 (entire chapter): The Parable of the Vine and the Branches—on abiding in Christ John 15:9: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Continue ye in my love" Matthew 25:14-30: The Parable of the Talents Deuteronomy 6: Teaching children "on the way, walking on the road, when we rise and when we sleep" Westminster Catechism: "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." Books and Resources Mentioned "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver (poem) "The True Vine" by Andrew Murray: 31 chapters, three pages each, a deep dive into John 15 and abiding in Christ "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" (hymn) : "Look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace" "Step by Step" by Rich Mullins (song) Westminster Catechism (set to music on Amazon Music) "Daring Greatly" speech by Theodore Roosevelt (April 23, 1910) "Daring Greatly" by Brené Brown (quote about vulnerability and courage) Les Misérables (1990s film with Uma Thurman and Claire Danes) : The redemption story of Jean Valjean and the line "I've ransomed you from evil" Susanna Wesley: Mother of John and Charles Wesley, founders of the Methodist Church Previous podcast episode with Andrea Johnson on core values - Watch the episode : https://youtu.be/fzQZ2aVJink Listen to the Episode - https://sheconsidersafield.com/knowing-and-operating-in-your-core-values-with-andrea-johnson/ Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

In this powerful episode, Anna sits down with Matt Morizio, a financial advisor, entrepreneur, father of seven, and former professional athlete who launched his own wealth management firm at age 40. Matt shares his transformative journey from living in financial fear to discovering true stewardship through faith. This conversation breaks down the taboos around money in the church and provides practical insights on how to align your finances with your faith and calling. Matt opens up about his own financial struggles, including accumulating over $300,000 in credit card debt while building his business, and how tithing transformed his relationship with money even when his financial picture got worse on paper. This vulnerable and authentic discussion will encourage anyone feeling overwhelmed by their finances to take that first step toward healthy stewardship.

In this solo episode, Anna McLaughlin explores what true success looks like through a Christian lens, drawing insights from Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" to examine how opportunity and faithfulness intersect in our spiritual journey. She challenges the common narrative that success comes from innate talent alone, revealing how both divine opportunities and our response to them shape our path of faithfulness. Key Topics Discussed Defining Success Malcolm Gladwell's Success Formula The 10,000 Hour Rule Being a First-Generation Believer Scripture References Matthew 25 - Parable of the talents (faithfulness in little) Matthew 5:48 - "Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect" Philippians 2:12-13 - "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act" Resources Mentioned Book: "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell (audiobook recommended) Podcast: "What Have You?" by Rachel Jankovic and Bekah Merkle Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

When your child is struggling with mental health challenges, the weight of worry and helplessness can feel overwhelming. In this powerful conversation, Anna McLaughlin sits down with Jen Robb, author of "Warrior Mom Rising," to discuss the raw realities of supporting a child through anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Jen shares her deeply personal journey with her daughter Chloe's mental health crisis, including a life-threatening incident that became a turning point for their entire family. This isn't just another parenting podcast – it's a lifeline for mothers in the trenches, offering practical strategies, spiritual wisdom, and the reminder that surrender doesn't mean giving up. If you're a mom feeling alone in your child's struggle, this episode will remind you that God's delay is not His absence, and that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply show up with presence and love. About Our Guest: Jennifer Robb is a Nurse Practitioner, author, wellness advocate, and unapologetic Warrior Mom with 25 years of medical experience. Married to her college sweetheart for 25 years and mom to three children, Jen knows both the clinical and personal battles of parenting through crisis.

In this powerful episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, Anna McLaughlin tackles one of the biggest barriers to living a fruitful life: perfectionism. Inspired by a listener request, Anna unpacks the heavy burden of perfectionism and provides biblical insight into what Christ actually means when He calls us to be "perfect." Anna reveals how perfectionism keeps us stuck in inaction, drawing parallels between the third servant in the parable of the talents and our tendency to bury our gifts out of fear. Through Malcolm Gladwell's fascinating photography study and personal stories of loss and regret, she demonstrates why "done beats perfect" isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a pathway to the abundant life God intends. This episode is packed with practical tools for overcoming perfectionism, including the power of breaking tasks into smallest manageable pieces, the importance of moving your feet even when afraid, and how to discern what's actually your portion versus what you've picked up out of "shoulds" and "ought-tos." Whether you're paralyzed by a pile of unfinished projects or waiting for the "perfect moment" to reach out to someone, this episode will give you the biblical foundation and practical strategies to start taking action today. Key Topics Discussed Biblical understanding of "perfection" (teleos) from Matthew 5:48 The parable of the talents and the danger of fear-driven inaction Malcolm Gladwell's photography study: quality vs. quantity The 10,000-hour rule and how mastery comes through action Newton's first law applied to spiritual life Breaking tasks down to overcome overwhelm Discerning your true calling vs. false obligations The power of 15-minute increments Accountability and habit formation strategies Resources Mentioned Books "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell - Explores how perceived weaknesses can be strengths, includes the photography study "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell - Decision-making and intuition "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell - The 10,000-hour rule and factors in success "Atomic Habits" by James Clear - Essential reading for habit formation and breaking perfectionism Educational Programs Classical Conversations - Homeschool curriculum emphasizing repetition and mastery Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

Feeling discouraged? Stuck in a cycle of consuming without creating? In this heartfelt episode, Anna shares a profound piece of wisdom that came to her at just the right moment—a letter from her father written almost 30 years ago containing life-changing advice about recognizing and honoring our God-given gifts. Anna explores the balance between giving and receiving, why we often get trapped in "doom scrolling" and consumption patterns, and how stepping into service and using our talents is actually a form of worship. She challenges listeners to identify what they're truly gifted at and to practice daily respect for those abilities—not as fake pride, but as proper humility and praise to God. This episode is a beautiful reminder that when we're feeling down or purposeless, the answer isn't to withdraw but to lean in and serve others with the unique gifts God has given us. Anna provides practical exercises to help you discover your talents and ends with a powerful challenge to go out and give to someone else. Key Topics Discussed The Balance of Giving and Receiving: Like breathing, we need both intake and output to thrive spiritually and emotionally Identifying Your Gifts: What do people call you for? What lights you up? These are clues to your purpose True Self-Care vs. Indulgence: Proper self-care includes being in God's Word, rest, movement, and healthy relationships—it's required for intimacy with the Father From Discouragement to Service: When feeling stuck or discouraged, the antidote is often to step out in service using your God-given talents Practice Daily Respect: Honoring your gifts isn't pride—it's proper humility and worship of God Books & Resources Mentioned " The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg and John David Mann - A parable about the power of giving and authentic service in business and life Simon Sinek's "Start With Why" workshop - Referenced for exercises on identifying your purpose and why statement Free Resource: Ready to go from Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

With over 11 years of ministry experience, Josh offers grace-filled guidance for parents feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to lead their families spiritually.
