Mama's Got Anxiety

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“If you’re a mama who has asked all the ‘What if . . . ?’ or ‘How about . . . ?’ questions regarding the well-being of your children or your competency as a mom, you’re in good company. Courtney offers a hand to hold through her relatable and vulnerable tale of her own anxiety related to motherhood. For my patients who have struggled with worry, fear, or anxiety, they most want to know that they aren’t crazy and they aren’t alone. Mama’s Got Anxiety assures the reader they aren’t alone and their anxiety around child-rearing doesn’t detract from their worth or effectiveness as a mother.”

She Believed HE Could, So She Did

Women

“We live in a culture that espouses, 'If it's going to be, it's up to me.' That is a burden many of my patients (and I) have carried that was never meant to be ours to carry. If we could make the world spin through our own efforts, we never would have needed a Savior who promised to carry our burdens. The choice is ours whether or not to cast our cares on Him. But striving to achieve every next thing in our own strength is exhausting. Take Becky's hand, learn from her transparent sharing of her struggles and victories, avow to stop 'should-ing' on yourself, and experience the freedom that comes when we let God do the heavy lifting. You'll be thankful you did!”

The 40-Day Feast

Christian Living

“Our thoughts determine our beliefs, our beliefs determine our attitudes, and our attitudes determine our behaviors, so what we spend time thinking about impacts both how we feel and ultimately how we behave. A decade ago precious little time was spent on the internet; whereas today, social media profiles are growing exponentially and online surfing comprises more of our day than spending time gathered around the table for family meals. The 40-Day Social Media Fast is a challenge to all of us to turn from what our behavior proves is our first love (all things online) to the One who desires to be our first and only love. Wendy Speake helps us to see that in and of itself, social media (or food, or music, etc.) is not inherently bad, but when we turn to it to cope rather than to the God with all wisdom, we trade that which will last for eternity for the momentary gratification of a “like,” a ping, a calorie, or a tune. If you’ve found yourself growing disenchanted with life, I’d recommend you read The 40-Day Social Media Fast, and intentionally and purposefully re-engage with the One who died to have a relationship with you.”

The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement

Christian Living

“The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement demystifies the spiritual gift of prophesy by explaining what it is, what it is not and how God longs to breathe life, hope and healing into the lives of His children through the gift of prophetic encouragement. In a world that is so quick to focus on the negative, The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement is a breath of positive perspective straight from the heart of God for His children. Debbie repeatedly rests on the truth that God wants us to encourage one another, and she has done that from cover to cover. You will come away gently convicted, encouraged and ready to encourage!”
