Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Whilst going through a seriously difficult season physically I had to fight and fight and fight for the next right step...because the situation itself kept changing so drastically and there were so many different moving pieces that I could not control. In the end...I had to surrender and just pray...and God moved the mountains.

Since this episode was recorded I have had surgery and gone through several weeks of slow healing...which I look forward to talking about in future episodes.

Are you going through painful times friend? PRAY. Pray to the LORD and He WILL come alongside you in ways you can not now see or believe.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! When we were gathered to record this episode there was a state wide man hunt going on for someone who had just killed almost 20 people and injured many more. This was a first in our state and very scary to experience even an hour away from where it happened...let alone where Amber's oldest daughter was...in the same town. So as you can imagine, Ber was feeling ALL the mama bear feels, gut feelings and intuitions that could be felt and she had to do something about it. 

Since this episode was recorded the man in question was found dead by his own hand in the woods near where he had killed so many.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Last week our sweet friend, Juliette Osborne shared her battle with lupus and how that played out in her daily life as a wife and mama. Today she shares her miraculous story of healing through strict intermittent fasting. She goes into both the science and faith behind it and how beneficial it has been to her regaining and maintaining her mobility and freedom while fighting a seriously debilitating chronic disease.  She also does multiple deep dives into body image and how real that struggle is for women. She challenges us to rebel against the lies our culture constantly feeds us and instead to claim God's truths that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", something I personally struggle with, every day.

The books that she mentioned are:

Gin Stephens "Fast. Feast. Repeat." and "Delay, Don't Deny"

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! BUCKLE up sweet listeners.  This one takes a few turns into places you might not be ready for.  In an effort to speak into a few of the harder things in life...we just SCRATCH the surface in how "weird" we all are. Weird meaning...these are actually things we feel really strongly about and that even between the 3 of us...we barely agree on. So don't give up on us if you don't agree with ANY of this.  We love each other fiercely despite how we've decided to navigate life in this day and age. How are YOU weird? Tell us! We would really love to know we're not alone! haha.
