Freedom is for everyone who wants it--the lost, the wounded, and those weary from all of the striving. You are the church, the people of God. You were meant to be free. So what are you waiting for? Let's start the journey to freedom together.

Jesus tells us that he gave his life to set us free, giving us purpose and calling us to live in that God-given freedom. Read these truths outloud over yourself today and join me to discover the freedom we have in Christ.

I am so excited to kick off the new year with a 30 Day Growth Challenge! New Years resolutions don’t usually last but establishing daily rhythms will allow us to grow throughout the whole year!

Back in 2016 the Lord put adoption on our hearts. I remember so clearly on December 3rd, 2018 when my friend from Beijing sent me a photo of a little girl saying, “Her file is going to The States tomorrow.” From that moment on our lives changed and we cannot image life without our sweet Joy as we celebrate 5 years with her this week!

With two kids launched into college and our version of empty nesting begins, it feels surreal to begin a Masters of Theology and Biblical Studies at Denver Seminary with an extraordinary group of women!

Summer is wrapping up and we are feeling all of the feelings as we are getting ready to send Pierce and Kennedy off to college. Before they left we tried to get one more family outing in together and something amazing happened.

My family and I are just getting settled after a 2 week Europe trip. Starting in Rome we spent some time at the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and then over to the Colosseum.

This past month I joined the team on Good Morning America to share the message of Building A Resilient Life.

As we discuss in Building A Resilient Life, it’s that determination to keep going—whether in the face of ambiguous loss, chaos, or turmoil—that we call “resilience.”

It seems our country needs to develop resilience now more than ever.

Spring is in the air! May just so happens to be my favorite month, I was born on Mother's Day so it always falls on the same weekend and gives me so many reasons to celebrate. This past weekend we got to celebrate our sweet daughter Kennedy as she graduated from high school!

I'm thrilled to say Building A Resilient Life officially launches today! You can grab your copy anywhere books are sold! Maybe you need reminded of the power available to you. I know I did. Through Five Rules of Resilience I discovered in my journey, I hope you'll experience adversity as a gift, rather than a setback.

It was an eventful October weekend in Chicago, and my friend Angela and I scurried to our flight. When we landed back in Nashville I learned it would be thirty minutes before we could deplane. This was the same trigger of my first panic attack twelve years prior—back of the plane, fear of being trapped, unable to exit. Because the lower brain can’t tell time, my trauma sent me right back to that initial moment of panic, all those years ago.

It was a dark season, and I never wrote about it online or spoke about it in public. When I began to research adversity three years ago, I never dreamed I'd experience my greatest struggles of motherhood, twenty-two years into being a mom. I finally put words to paper in Building a Resilient Life.

It is officially back to school season in the Lyons household! This week marked Cade's last first day of school, Kennedy's first day of senior year, and Joy's first day of third grade. We will be bringing Pierce back to college later this week and swiftly getting back into a season of structure.

What an amazing summer it has been! Our family is enjoying our final week of summer together before everyone heads back to school next week. I can't believe we are already at that time of year again.

One of our family traditions is to spend Father's Day out here to celebrate Gabe, rest, and have fun together! Our week has already been full of horseback riding, lots of singing, and enjoying some time in the beauty of God's creation.

Our motivation in creating the new website was to help bring you resources in a way that is more accessible. On your journey of emotional health, we want to equip you with tools that will support your growth.
