A big part of Christian life is worship.  While there are many different ways that we worship our Lord, music can create such an emotional way of connecting with God.  When we go through different seasons, that can be even more important to lean on God through worship.  This can grow your faith in a big way and in this episode, we are joined by award-winning recording artist, Ginny Owens to dive into this topic.  Ginny shares her story of how God has shown up in her life through music and how God helped bring her through a season of burnout in her career. Ginny has a new album and an accompanying book called Singing In The Dark.  If you want to grow in how you worship, this is for you!

Have you ever wondered what financial steps are best to take once you have the basics like budgeting and emergency fund in place?  What about real estate investing?  Real estate investing is a great way to passively add income to your family (I mean, as a working mom it's awesome to have something that doesn't add more time to your full calendar), contribute to your retirement, and it's a great way to bless others and further the kingdom of God. We are joined by Richelle Delia to provide tips on how to get started, find out if it's right for you, and shed light on the ever-important question.....is this the right move for right now?

As working moms, we all have times in our lives when the systems that we have created for balance get interrupted.  It could be for something small like a vacation, or it could be something bigger like a change in a career or even a huge schedule change during a season.  We will be covering both of these scenarios in this episode and giving you the steps you need to get back on track when one of these things happens to you!

When we talk about life balance, if it’s possible, and how we define it….there is a background to it.  What we teach at Your Life Rocks is biblically-based.  It’s about being obedient to the word of God.  When we are in alignment with his word, chaos has no standing.   Now, with our aim when it comes to balance, or setting goals, the aim is not perfection.  The aim is obedience.  Every time.  It’s not about us, it’s about him.  It’s when we allow ourselves to be less than in any area of life that we are making it about us or about our flesh.  In this two-part series, we are going to the Bible to see what it says about balance and about the different areas of life (yes, all 8 are in the Bible).
