This We Know

Lynne and Hailey

In this life, we inevitably walk through seasons of ups and downs. While the world tries to sell us on quick fixes to make ourselves feel better, Hailey and Lynne share Biblical truth to encourage you in your faith. This We Know Podcast exists to meet you right where you are, remind you that you are not alone, and to help you lift your eyes from your circumstances back to God—so that you can step back into your day with a fresh mind and full heart.

P.S. Sometimes, a little music goes a long way to lift our spirits. Each episode will include a song recommendation that aligns with the message to give you an opportunity to reflect and see what God is putting on your heart.

23 | TWK about Our Words

Every day, we have countless interactions with people whether it be in person, on the phone, over the computer, through text, or email. Whether it's a call from a friend, a Zoom meeting at work, or a brief conversation with the barista at our favorite coffee shop, we are given a choice to use our words to either speak life into people or to tear others down. In this episode, we chat about the lasting impact that our words have, and what we can do to try to make the most of every opportunity to speak love into the people God has purposefully placed around us. We hope this episode resonates with you and encourages you to share God's love through YOUR words with those around you!

Every day, we consciously and subconsciously form expectations. It’s nearly impossible to not expect or hope for certain outcomes. ALL. DAY. LONG.

On today’s episode, we open up about our very real struggle with entitlement, and how God’s transforming love can take us from feeling superior and unfulfilled to feeling humble and grateful. We pray this episode opens up your eyes to all the Lord has graciously put in front of you so you can share your blessings with others!Song Recommendation: Gratitude by I Am They Verses:Matthew 6James 1:171 Thessalonians 5:16-18Ready for more encouragement on similar topics?

8 | TWK about Being Still

In this busy world, it often feels impossible to find the time and space to be still and quiet. But if you were given a pocket of quiet time - how would you spend it? Would you be silent, or fill it up with noise and distraction? So often, we long for pockets of peace and quiet, yet when it's given to us, we feel uncomfortable in the silence, so we fill up our time with noise and busyness. In this episode, we talk about why it's so difficult to be still, along with some workarounds and suggestions for optimizing your quiet time. We pray this episode encourages you to choose stillness the next time it's offered to you, so that you can make room for God to transform your heart and mind.
