In this episode Kathie and Spring explore the spiritual and practical roots of procrastination—fear, perfectionism, overwhelm, and delayed obedience—through Scripture (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, James, Ephesians) and personal stories.

They offer simple, faith-based steps to start moving: pray, take one small step, set a short timer, remove distractions, create accountability, and speak Scripture over your work. The episode challenges listeners to steward their time, obey God’s prompting, and trust Him one step at a time.

Hosts Kathie and Spring explore what biblical joy really is — a gift rooted in God’s presence, hope, and the Holy Spirit. They name key scriptures (Psalm 16:11, Nehemiah 8:10, John 15:11, Romans 15:13, James 1:2–3, Galatians 5:22–23) and connect them to songs that reinforce joy in both calm and chaos.

The episode offers simple, practical steps to start the year with joy: slow down, declare scripture each morning, invite Jesus’ joy, anchor in hope, create daily joy rhythms (gratitude, journaling, memorizing verses), and intentionally remove what’s covering your joy.

Join Kathe and Spring outdoors as they reflect on the end of the year, share what they want to leave behind, and discuss priorities for the new year. They talk about relying on God, keeping commitments, recovery growth, and songs that inspire faith and gratitude.

Through prayer, personal stories, and practical questions for journaling, this episode encourages listeners to seek God first, leave fear and approval-seeking behind, and carry Jesus and praise into 2026.

Kathie and Spring reflect on their go-to scriptures as the new year begins, focusing on Philippians 4:6, Psalm 46:10, and Psalm 34:4. They share personal stories about anxiety and fear, recommend worship songs, and offer simple daily practices—gratitude prayer, journaling, and prayer with friends—to help turn worry into peace.

The episode encourages listeners to choose a verse to hold onto, release burdens to God in prayer, and build small rhythms that keep them anchored in Christ throughout the year.

Welcome to a warm, family-style episode of Loving God, Loving Life, Getting Real with Kathie . Kathie is joined by three young guests — Addie, Ella, and James — who share what they love to do (dance, swim, soccer), stories about pets and holiday gifts, and plans for a playful "yes day". They chat about upcoming performances, favorite treats, and holiday money, ending with cheerful New Year wishes and a reminder to stay anchored in Christ.

Kathie and Spring explore the truth that our gifts are given by God for a purpose: to be shared, stewarded, and used to bless others. They ground the conversation in scripture and personal stories to show how gifts can come early in life or grow out of pain.

The episode offers practical steps—start small, practice, join community, and overcome fear and comparison—and issues a simple challenge to take one doable action this week to honor your gift.

Listeners are encouraged to share their gifts both spiritually and materially, to trust God to multiply their obedience, and to connect with the hosts for support and resources.

Hosts Kathie and Spring discuss forgiveness—what it is and isn’t—and how choosing to forgive frees us emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

They cover scriptural truths, the three kinds of forgiveness (God’s forgiveness, forgiving others, and forgiving yourself), common obstacles, practical steps to let go, and encouraging songs and scriptures to support the journey.

Listeners are invited to reflect, accept God’s unconditional love, seek help if needed, and choose freedom from resentment so they can live closer to Christ.

Hosts Kathie and Spring explore what prayer truly is — an ongoing conversation with God that brings peace, shapes our hearts, and connects generations. They discuss unanswered prayers, praying in Jesus' name, praying aloud, and how prayer can interrupt generational patterns and bring healing.

The episode includes Scripture references, practical ideas like prayer journaling, reflective questions to try this week, and an invitation to share prayer requests so listeners can be prayed for and supported.
