Shhhh, be still. Take a glass of tea, sit on the deck with your legs up and pretend you're in front of a beach listening to the waves swoosh back and forth.

And while it can be that, what God's Word says about it is SO much more than that. Join Karen in discovering just what God and His Word want from us and what truly learning to BE STILL can do for your life, your purpose and your ministry!

Karen was an excellent speaker at our Women’s Retreat! She was insightful, funny as she encouraged & challenged us in our daily walk! Also enjoyed hanging out with her playing games in the evening. She is authentic, fun and an inspiration!! If you have the opportunity to have her speak at your event, you will be truly blessed! Highly recommend! C. Slagle
Was blessed to hear Karen speak at our annual women's retreat last October. She is so funny and we could all relate to her life story. I love how she weaves her testimony with the Word of God and how He has rescued her throughout her life. We thoroughly enjoyed her presentations over the weekend as her effervescent personality bubbled over to the crowd. She totally made us all feel like one of her girlfriends just hanging out for the weekend! J. Schwarz
I was blessed to hear Karen speak at a women's conference. I love her honesty, her ability to laugh at herself and encourage us to laugh at ourselves, her willingness to get "in the trenches" with us, and her compassion. I believe everyone can benefit from hearing her speak. B. Abney
I absolutely love Karen!!! She gave so much insight into a road that unknown to me i was about to go down. She is a great speaker and i can not wait to see her again!!! H. Lanham
Karen has a god given talent of relating everyday life to biblical principals. She has a unique ability to make people laugh while motivating and teaching. She is empowering and enforces the word of god! S. Cole
What's a miracle to you? Is it things you can see but can’t understand, like the fact that some animals can regenerate limbs? Or that we can talk into these little boxes called phones and hear someone’s voice who is thousands of miles away? Or maybe that something with feathers and a tiny body is able to fly? Or that somehow ALL the tree
What's a miracle to you? Is it things you can see but can’t understand, like the fact that some animals can regenerate limbs? Or that we can talk into these little boxes called phones and hear someone’s voice who is thousands of miles away? Or maybe that something with feathers and a tiny body is able to fly? Or that somehow ALL the trees know just when to shed their leaves as one season changes into the next without someone telling them to? Maybe it feels like a miracle to you when your husband doesn’t leave his clothes lying on the floor or when your teenager does the dishes without being asked. Maybe to someone else it feels like a miraculous and extraordinary occurrence of divine intervention when they get to the DMV to renew their drivers license and there is no line!
What do you consider a miracle?
In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about what a miracle actually is and how important it is to acknowledge them, embrace them and thank God for them!

Do you ever feel like life is spinning out of control? Crime is rising, protests abound, war is increasing, people are hungry, peace seems far away…and to top that off you have 100 things on your To Do list that you haven’t tackled yet; you have relationships that need attention, health issues to tend to, promises to keep and your energy
Do you ever feel like life is spinning out of control? Crime is rising, protests abound, war is increasing, people are hungry, peace seems far away…and to top that off you have 100 things on your To Do list that you haven’t tackled yet; you have relationships that need attention, health issues to tend to, promises to keep and your energy is waning because your mind is dizzy with all that spinning going on! It’s no wonder so many of us feel like things are spinning out of control, but rest assured, “Anything under God’s control, is not out of control!” (C. Swindoll)
When we try to make all our own plans without consulting God, that’s when we fail but Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about those challenges, how things feel like they’re spinning out of control, how to keep your plans in line with what God wants for you and what the Bible has to say about it.

Where are you on your journey through this life? Are you expecting to arrive in heaven fully ready for whatever comes next? Or are you just sort of sitting in the middle of today's muck and muddiness, complaining about where you are in the present moment?
Today and tomorrow were meant for being thankful; for living in the present, not dreading what's to come and not sitting in fear. So many of us forget that we're almost home and this present moment will be gone sooner than we think. We forget that many of us are already halfway there - almost home - and we should look forward to where we're headed if we're walking with the Lord.
That's what today's podcast episode is about - "Halfway There" is about feeling joy in the moment and being thankful instead of complaining that we're not getting everything we want whenever we want it.
