In this episode we're covering a wide-range of topics such as how to restore trust after it's been broken in a relationship, how you can resolve conflict well while respecting how your spouse will be best served in the process, making new friends as a couple, and why living on a budget can be stressful but can also be some of the most memorable moments you'll ever have in your marriage.

It's not wrong to have fears — that's normal! But you don't have to bow to it and let it control your life! Sadie and Korie are sharing stories of when they were the most fearful, anxious and worried and how they've learned to stop those dangerous loops and how to keep moving forward, doing it afraid! Korie remembers a time when little Sadie was overcome with anxiety at camp, but how that one moment was a pivot for how Sadie confronted anxiety later in her life ... and why you sometimes need to feel the fear to push you! Plus what are some practical ways we can stop anxiety and worry in its tracks? Sadie and Korie share their strategies that include everything from washing your hands in warm water to making a gratitude list. But ultimately, knowing and trusting God and relying on His promises is the best way to prepare for trials and getting through difficult moments that can come seemingly out of nowhere. The storm can seem much scarier when we know more about IT than we do about the Lord and His power!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Beth Redman has a gentle, godly and wise spirit and is here to share some incredible truths with Korie and the rest of us! Right away, her "best piece of advice" will have you thinking about who's on your enemy prayer list! Korie remembers a time when she and Willie stopped by the Redman house and witnessed one of their family traditions — and it might be one you want to incorporate for your family and friends! Iron sharpens iron, as Beth says, and this is why we ALL need friends who aren't afraid to tell us the tough things. Beth explains why she chooses to live without a smartphone and off social media, plus she shares how she and her (eventual) husband, Matt, started dating when he was a worship leader in their youth group. She also takes us through an immense season of loss that she and Matt experienced, which was followed by an immense season of abundance — and she's encouraging anyone going through a tough time that there is a beginning, middle and end! Korie challenges us to resist the desire to want to know everything now since we really should be trusting God and His plan for us.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie's big sister, Rebecca, is on the podcast for the first time, y'all! Korie and Rebecca are talking all about how Rebecca joined the Robertson family when she was 16 years old as an exchange student from Taiwan. Rebecca says she felt very welcome in her new family, but very out of her comfort zone and shares how she adjusted to the big changes in the USA: from language to school and church and being at LSU when "Duck Dynasty" first began. Rebecca reveals how difficult it was to lose her dad at a young age, but why she now chooses to be positive with whatever she encounters in her life. And how did 2Mama play a role in Rebecca meeting her husband, John Reed? As a wife and mother of two, Rebecca admits some days are easier than others and the thoughts of, "Is this my life now?" can be overwhelming, but Korie's encouragement for anyone feeling like they're barely making it is to remember that you CAN do it all — everything God has placed on your heart — just not all at once!  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Sadie and Christian both just celebrated their birthdays and they're taking a minute to look back at the year that was. Sadie and Christian are getting vulnerable and sharing each other's peaks and pits from the past year, plus what they want to take with them moving forward, and what they're choosing to leave behind. And for the first time, Sadie and Christian share publicly their big pit that had them each questioning their core beliefs, how they worked through it, and what they learned in the process. And look, we know birthdays aren't always fun and quite often we may NOT feel like celebrating, but Sadie has some great advice for anyone who chooses to avoid marking their next year and how you, as a friend, can still celebrate them in a way that's honoring their wishes. You never know how life-changing it could be!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rebekah Lyons is a speaker, author, mother of four, and a podcast host with her husband, Gabe. Rebekah joins Korie to share her five rules for not just overcoming anxiety but why steering INTO anxiety helps us build up resilience in our lives. Don't RUN from anything that makes you afraid, rather learn how to not let it control and override your entire life. Korie shares how she worked with Sadie on knowing when she was having an anxiety attack and how to work through it. Rebekah talks about why she started focusing on becoming resilient in her life and pursuing a journey of emotional health with the Lord. Plus, why do we feel the instinct to pull away when relationships get too intimate or too personal? And how can we encourage each other to be ourselves and be human, even though we want to show only the best versions of ourselves? Rebekah shares one moment and one phrase uttered to her husband that changed her life — and she encourages us ALL to not be afraid to name our pain! We can't begin healing if we haven't named the pain in our hearts and minds! And how can we retrain our brain and be more aware of what — and Who — we're agreeing with in our darker moments? Rebekah's book "Building a Resilient Life" is available now!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie's mom, Korie Robertson, is joined by newscaster & journalist, Paula Faris and they want to encourage ANYONE who feels exhausted in life right now. Paula reminds us we do NOT have to carry it all and why we all need to ditch any feelings of guilt we may have and go ahead and ask for help! Korie shares a moment during "Duck Dynasty" filming where she realized she couldn't keep going without some extra assistance and why she loves Sadie's message about being truthful about life. It's so easy to only show the "perfect" parts of our lives, but wouldn't it be freeing to post the moments that are real, whether it's a good moment or not? You can be a help to someone else who desperately needs exactly what you're needing! Paula and Korie talk about how they both intentionally say "yes" to the things that bring them joy, instead of making excuses out of busy-ness. And always remember: NO ONE is perfect. Stop trying to put on a front of perfectionism — it's not healthy for anyone! It's healthy to ask for help. Paula's book, "You Don't Have to Carry It All" is available now!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie's best friend and former roommate, Laney Rene, has some real-life experience with difficult friendships — from fear of making one to the unbearable thought of losing one, Laney can relate! Sadie and Laney first met while they were both grieving friendships that had ended badly, and they talk about their own shifting friendship as they were both single at the same time, then met and married their husbands, had children, and moved to different states. Laney describes her past difficulties with letting go of failing friendships, and why that ability was necessary for her personal growth. Laney describes how you should not place your happiness in the hands of others, especially ones who talk about you behind your back. Sadie encourages us to always remember: No matter how much hurt you've experienced, sisterhood and friendship is ALWAYS worth pursuing and fighting for — they're gifts from the Lord! Don't be afraid to start new friendships! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mia Fieldes is living her miracle right now — she's about to give birth to her baby girl after being told by multiple specialists that pregnancy wasn't likely, but she'd be the first one to tell you that trusting in a promise from God doesn't guarantee an easy path. Sadie and Mia quickly get deep talking about navigating seasons of waiting and why the holding pattern might feel like a huge delay, but it's ultimately going to get you to your destination quicker! Mia encourages us to be sure our filter and outlook on our life isn't disappointment — or you won't be able to see all that God IS giving you, regardless of the season of your life. Mia challenges us all to actively be asking God for a promise, especially if you're in a time of waiting on Him. Sadie remembers one particular dance on "Dancing with the Stars" where a split-second decision surprised her and her dance partner with the result, but was a great lesson too! Plus, why we need to treat God like a friend — choose to spend time with Him and expect Him to show up!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Christine Caine and Sadie get into a passionate discussion about why dwelling on the past — the good and the bad — is the wrong way to keep moving forward into your future. Christine talks about her early childhood years filled with abuse, abandonment, neglect, and betrayal — and how she's had to deal with all of it at different times in her life as she got married, had two girls, and started her life of ministry, speaking, and writing. Christine shares a lesson she overheard in motorcycle driving lessons: Wherever you look, your body will follow — and she expands on the truth of that idea not only when driving her Vespa and making a turn, but how focusing on Christ should be the ONLY thing Christians focus on as they navigate life. If we linger somewhere else, we'll eventually go there, so fight off the distractions and make Jesus the focus! If you don't learn to fix your eyes on Jesus, you're going to get stuck! And if you don't deal with the past, the past will deal with you. Christine's book, "Don't Look Back," is available now. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie has known April Rodgers for a long time and is so excited to welcome her into the studio for a tough, but encouraging conversation about trusting God through the difficult times in life, and taking what the enemy meant for evil, and turning it for good. April is a former financial planner and now hosts a podcast and has written a devotional book. April talks about the phone call she received that changed her and her family's life, when her brother was in a horrible car accident that took his life. But through hearing from others about how much her brother had meant to them, especially those who heard about Jesus from him, she was convicted to more quickly share Christ with those she encountered every day. April encourages us all that when we're tempted to ask if God is REALLY good, or if God is really for us in the dark times, we need to recall and rely on what we know to be true about who God is, and that should get us into God's Word! Sadie and April talk about the call of ministry and how it doesn't matter how "big" or "small" the platform might be, ministry is always important! And for anyone going through a terribly painful time right now, know this: If there's a shadow, there's light! You can trust in your Savior who is with you every step of the way until you're on the other side! - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you're needing an extra dose of encouragement, this is THE conversation you need today! Sadie is thrilled to speak with her new friends, Earl and Oneka McClellan who co-pastor Shoreline Church in Dallas, TX. Earl and Oneka share an incredible amount of wisdom on marriage, working in ministry as a family, parenting, even fashion advice, and much more. Oneka and Sadie discuss why our priorities are so important when it comes to fashion, social media, or influencer posts — what is your WHY on why you're doing what you do? Earl remembers when he first met Oneka and how he was "too saved" to begin pursuing her initially, but that changed after a missions trip! Plus, Oneka recalls Earl's incredible gift to her when their relationship was getting serious, which has Sadie remembering a particular snowy blessing shared with her and Christian. And how did a "simple" prayer request text message change the McClellan family? Finally, Earl and Oneka are passionate about being in ministry WITH their children and explain why it's so important to invite your kids into the call God has on your life!  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Bethany Hamilton is DONE with letting fear hold her back. Sadie and Bethany talk about many moments of fear in their lives and how claiming God's promises, replacing mental patterns with Scripture and things that are TRUE is one of the best ways they've found to fight it. Bethany's had to overcome a lot of fear in her life — from a terrifying shark attack that cost her an arm, to choosing to get back in the water, to being catapulted into the spotlight and suddenly becoming a public person where the world could see her life, and even when she first found she was expecting her first child — but she overcame and didn't let the fear win! Bethany encourages us all to find practical ways of being an unstoppable force in our own lives: Find a passion that gets you off social media and gets you pumped for life! Plus, Bethany and Sadie talk about the importance of family and how intentional parenting and loving your family is its own gift and reward and why prioritizing your family is the best way to navigate all the uncertainties, stresses, and unknowns we'll face in our lives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Sadie remembers the first time she noticed Emma Mae McDaniel radiating joy — and it hasn't stopped radiating for 10 years! Emma is the host of the "Have You Heard?" podcast, she's a wife, an expectant mother, and she says her biggest goal for anyone in her audience, or whomever she meets day to day, is to help them personally know God. Emma recalls a life-changing moment — and her pursuit of God, loving Him and knowing more about Him every day in His Word has revolutionized her whole life! Emma says that there are some days when she doesn't always "feel like" reading her Bible and showing happiness to others, but it's because she WANTS to obey the Lord and her love for Him isn't dependent on how she feels day to day. Sadie and Emma have both struggled with feeling the need to be perfect, and how exhausting that can be — but isn't it freeing to know that God isn't interested in our attempt at perfection? Plus, Sadie and Emma talk about the very real fear parents have about bringing children into a dark world, but don't let the worry stop you, rather, take a closer look at what your child is receiving, learning, and observing in your home. That's the best counter to anything they might see in the world!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nate Moore is a writer and artist with Housefires, plus he's a worship leader, a songwriter, and a pastor and today he's talking with Sadie about making music and making moments with people that you love, why doing a FEW things well is one of the best pieces of advice he's ever received, and how to turn "have-to" into "get-to" in your faith walk. Nate admits his early years as a Christian were a "check-the-box" version: read your Bible - check, go to church - check, pray - check  — but an experience in college changed all that and his outlook transformed to a "get-to" attitude in his walk with God. Sadie and Nate share different ways they experienced the call of God on their lives and reiterate that when God's calling you, it doesn't have to make sense to anyone else! Nate remembers the early days in Atlanta where Housefires began and the moment he says was "the most special moment in worship he's ever seen" when "Good Good Father" was first spoken — and he has Sadie saying, "That's SO good" many times when he explains the origin of his first tattoo and how a two-degree shift can change EVERYTHING for you in your life!  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Y'all, singer-songwriter Danny Gokey and his wife, Leyicet Gokey, are a DELIGHT to talk with! Not only do these two have an incredible ministry together, but they have four adorable children, love each other so well, and have Chuck Norris to thank for getting them together! Danny tells Sadie about the loss of his first wife and how staying in the Word and clinging to God's truth is what helped him during that heartbreaking tragedy. Leyicet encourages us to always share how we met God and started following Him — you never know who will be impacted by your story, regardless of how "unimportant" you think it is! And remember, believers have what SO many people want: a friend like Jesus! Plus, a reminder to take active control of your thoughts — because how you FEEL is a direct result of how you THINK. If you're feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, as Danny tells us, don't be a parked car — start moving, and God will direct you! Wherever you are: Do your best, obey God, & it WILL be OK!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Courtney Leatherwood took a big chance and a big leap of faith when she said "yes" to Sadie asking her to start working with her years ago — but that decision wasn't an easy one. What started as doodling and designing in her spare time has morphed into her role as LO's Brand & Creative Marketing Manager! Sadie and Courtney look back on those moments that will encourage others to take a big leap, and they encourage you not to be so quick to say "no" if something sounds too "far out." First, ask, "Am I willing to try?" Plus, how do we know when the voice of God speaks to us after we've sought His guidance? Saying "yes" even when you don't feel qualified might be the most freeing thing you could do! Sadie and Court remember some big "failures" in the early days of LO, but is it really a failure if they were growing, learning, and finding new ways to reach people? Sadie drops in a Lionel Richie quote that stuck with her: "If you win, you win; if you lose, you learn!" And don't miss the story about beignets!  - Learn more about your ad choices.

"Is it safe to trust this person?" is a question we ALL need to ask of the people we bring into our lives. Sadie is talking with bestselling author and clinical expert, Dr. Henry Cloud about all things to do with trust: earning it, fixing it when it's broken, how to give it and even when to withhold it. Sadie shares a very recent example of why trust is such an important factor when bringing new people into our worlds and why trust and boundaries are SO important to her — she's been hurt by these things in the past! Dr. Cloud encourages us in how we can truly restore trust from past relationships and not bring that into new relationships. Plus, why it's important to give yourself space to evaluate if a person really IS trustworthy. Sadie and Dr. Cloud also speak about the wisdom of Scripture and how it's backed up and aligned with so much of neuroscience, which isn't surprising at all and more proof that our Creator knows everything about us and how we're wired. And don't miss Sadie's story about why she recoiled when Christian tried calling her "Pumpkin" one time.  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Sadie has been waiting for this conversation since she was 18 years old and was given a copy of Dr. Alicia Britt Chole's "Anonymous" — a book which Sadie says is the BEST book on social media. Alicia is a wife, mother, author, and former atheist who had an "unbelievable encounter with God" when she attended her first church service with a friend and says her beginning in Christ came from Him pursuing and finding her. Alicia encourages any singles out there to look for a man much like her own husband who has the fruit of the Spirit in his life, plus why we should value the "unseen" people in our lives just as much as others — don't mistake "unseen" for "unimportant!" Sadie and Alicia discuss what it means to "practice the presence of God" and how the truth that God is near to us is worth repeating to ourselves and others throughout our day. God IS near — He's not behind a curtain, He's not paused somewhere waiting for a certain thing, and He loves us before we "do" anything for Him! Plus, how differently would we live out our faith if we regularly confronted the weight of our sin and how we WILLFULLY sin against the Lord? And why we ALL need a mentor — but if you can find someone you can regularly meet with, that's an incredible blessing, so go after it!  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Bella is BACK for a fun chat with Sadie answering YOUR questions about helping friends in toxic relationships, how to love well but not micro-manage, when honesty is best and most loving, and why not expecting all your happiness to be provided by others is so important.

And do you feel like your testimony is a bit "boring?" Sadie and Bella encourage us that there really is no such thing!  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if we could keep a God's-eye view of our lives — that no matter how scary or painful a situation might be, coming up ahead of us is a break and some peace? Sadie's guest, Katie Davis Majors, was reminded of this truth in a particularly harrowing experience she had while swimming in the Nile River. Katie was 18 when she first traveled to Uganda for a mission trip, and she ended up staying for many years, starting a charity, meeting her husband, and adopting 13 girls! Katie and her family — including 2 boys now! — just recently moved back to the United States, a decision that wasn't easy and one that Katie didn't initially understand. Katie encourages anyone wondering what they're going to do with their life that God is way more concerned with who you'll BE than what you'll DO. Start focusing on who God's called you to be! And don't discount the experiences you're having right now, wherever you are in your life — you have no idea what God is preparing you for! Sadie and Katie talk about the importance of sisterhood and how, whether they're biological, adopted, or even best friends, the blessings of sisters are an amazing picture of God's love for us. Katie's book "Safe All Along" is available for preorder now.  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gracie Tucker was Sadie's housemate for a while, and y'all, they ate SO much watermelon and played so much basketball during that season as they became great friends. Gracie's life has been full of adventures, MANY jobs (she compares herself to Kirk from "Gilmore Girls") including recently writing a country song and opening a very popular milkshake bar in Franklin, TN, but only recently has her current single state been something she's thought about more. She even got herself into a bit of a funk for a time. Gracie says the enemy takes easy jabs, especially at anyone in a waiting season, with lies of "you'll never be loved" or "this will never happen," but isn't that in direct contradiction to what God has promised? Gracie shares about her modeling career and what finally made her walk away to start new adventures. Sadie asks Gracie about her bucket list and encourages us to keep a list of things we're working toward, regardless of what season you're in. Try new things! Meet new people! And for anyone currently in a season of waiting, take heart and remember: God has NEVER been late for anyone, so why would He start with you?  - Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you carrying around what's killing you? Pastor and author JP Pokluda tells Sadie it really can be that "simple" to take a step back and pinpoint what you're allowing to have control over you and how to take control back. But the good news is that owning those mistakes — those vulnerabilities — is a way to reclaim your own life, and when you can, share those struggles with others! Sadie has a good method for determining if you're oversharing on social media. JP encourages us to turn our struggles into our story and turn our messes into our messages. You're not alone in whatever it is that looms large in your life, whether in secret or not. Sadie and JP share how their anxieties physically manifested in each of their lives and how far they've come to be able to talk freely and encourage others. Plus, can some forms of anxiety actually be a product of pride? And JP has a new definition for "success": FAITHFULNESS.  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

KB reveals how he came to follow the Lord after someone loaned him a Christian hip-hop CD and why his new book is his prayer for recovery and revival in our world today. Just listen to how he speaks about the Lord and you'll feel a revived spirit! KB encourages us to have godly people around us REGULARLY and shares the best antidote for a heaviness of spirit. Plus, he recalls when his faith was truly put to the test on a dangerous mission trip and his "aha" moment that there is more joy in following Jesus into the scary place than there is staying cooped up in rebellion and disobedience. Sadie describes her trip to Somalia where her fear and anxiety hit its peak and how her faith being put to the test was the ultimate show of trust in God's mercy and grace. Since then, fear and anxiety haven't ruled her heart like they once did. If God is calling you to dangerous situations and dangerous faith, remember you serve a dangerous God!

When's the last time you seriously thought about the health of your brain? Sadie is excited to speak with Dr. Daniel Amen about all things related to the brain: how to conquer mental health struggles, how to stop the loop of toxic thoughts, and how not to feel like a slave to your brain — there are ways out!

"Home was not safe." Author, evangelist, and president of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore joins Sadie to talk about some very traumatic events in her life, how lost and unsafe she felt at home with her dad as a young girl, and how God's love and grace transformed EVERYTHING for her. Beth reminds anyone who has been abused or experienced trauma: You did not ruin your life. You are NOT rotten! There is NOTHING that you can do — or have had done TO you — that would make you unworthy of God's love and grace. Sadie shares her own story of a situation where she suddenly felt paralyzed, full of fear, and unsure of what to do. Beth talks about how through prayer, counseling, and her relationship with God, her abuse no longer forms her decisions — and how breaking the cycle of trauma is possible for anyone! Plus, Sadie asks Beth about her very famous hairbrush story. And how do you know if you've had a "calling"? Beth's book, "All My Knotted-Up Life," is available now! https://LOSisterConference.com - Get tickets for the 2023 LO Sister Conference, Sept. 8-9 in Monroe, LA - Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone talks about it, and yet it's not talked about enough! Sadie recalls the first time she learned about sex (after hearing the word "sexy" during an episode of SYTYCD!) and the many hours of follow-up questions she had for her mom, Korie. They discuss the beauty of sex, and they reject the lies in our culture that sex can be meaningless or destroy your purity. Sadie takes a closer look at all *those* analogies you might have heard in church, youth group, or even in Christian school. Wherever you are and whatever you've done in your past — or whatever has been done to you — Sadie and Korie encourage us that we are all made clean before God when we repent and trust in Him and accept His love and grace. God's design for sex is possible for ANYONE in a loving covenant marriage.  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadie couldn't wait to speak with her guest, pastor and author David Platt, after his incredible preaching at Passion. David encourages anyone in a relationship — romantic or otherwise — how to keep learning how to love the other person well. Sadie shares how her love languages have switched since she started dating Christian and encourages us to keep asking our person how we can love them best in this moment. Plus, it IS possible to have a potentially divisive conversation with other believers as long as the spirit of the discussion is humility, openness, and hearing each other. You can still agree to disagree, and actually mean it! As David reiterates, if it's not what UNITES us (Jesus, the authority of the Bible, the Gospel), then it shouldn't be what DIVIDES us. And what would happen if all believers were truly meditating on God's Word? Forget the excuses about why you can't memorize Scripture and start today!

Holy buckets, y'all are going to love this conversation! Jimmy Darts is a self-described "CRAZY PERSON." He's full of joy, well-known for his generosity with strangers, and he loves Jesus so much. Sadie and Jimmy talk about the true test of integrity and how one of the best compliments they receive is that they're the same in their videos as in real life. Jimmy recounts one of the best stories of his "random" act of generosity, and Sadie talks about how his videos have inspired her and Christian to be more generous. Sadie encourages Jimmy that his heart for people — not just video views — is what makes what he's doing so engaging and powerful. Plus, Jimmy reveals the moment he gave his life to the Lord, why he feels complete freedom in following Christ, and how that informs all of his interactions with strangers when he's looking to be generous.
