Is it that simple to turn our worry into worship?! We understand that you're dealing with real life. Whether it's your kiddos, your marriage, finances, health, or the future, there are plenty of places where our thoughts can cause us to get carried away in worry and anxiety.

In this episode, "Turning Worry Into Worship," we'll explore a struggle so many of us face: anxiety.

The Keepin' It Real Question is, "How prone are you to struggling with anxiety or worry?" Do you ever catch yourself filling in the blanks with worst-case scenarios? For example, when you miss a call from a loved one, and before you know it, your mind has written a whole story of something terrible happening.

We'll discuss those moments that overwhelm us and how we can quiet our racing thoughts by turning our worries into worship.

Plus, Kim Haar will share a powerful and practical tool she uses to deal with worrying thoughts—one that can help you transform your anxiety into worship and peace!

2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us to "take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ." But sometimes, we need to know that it is genuinely possible to do.

Keepin' It Real with Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen is a podcast for women, and you're always welcome at our table. Join us as we journey through life together.

We all love a good makeover, but today’s episode is about a different kind of transformation—the one that happens on the inside.

We’re diving deep into the messages we tell ourselves daily and how we can give those messages a "Me Makeover." Are we being kind to ourselves, or are we stuck in a cycle of negativity? It’s time to replace those harsh thoughts with more positive, uplifting words. Join us for this conversation on self-kindness and personal growth.

**Keepin' It Real Question:**
Have you ever had a makeover? If so, what was your experience?

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, hosts Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen discuss how often we mold our lives into something we should be doing instead of what we are called to do. Have you ever tried to fit into a role that wasn’t meant for you? Whether it’s feeling the pressure to be the perfect mom tending the garden or exhausting yourself with networking groups to please others, sometimes we try to wear “armor” that doesn’t fit.

Drawing inspiration from the story of young David in the Bible, who tried on King Saul’s armor before facing Goliath, the ladies discuss that David ultimately had to set aside what wasn’t his and stand in the confidence of his calling—with just a slingshot and five smooth stones.

Join us as we explore the freedom of embracing your God-given role and discuss the Keepin' It Real question: *Was there ever a time that you tried to fit into something that wasn’t made for you?*

Be encouraged to discover your place, which the Lord uniquely crafts.

This is a podcast for Christian women of all ages. We share from our hearts about the every day topics that matter most. In today's episode, "Get in the Picture," we encourage women to see themselves through the eyes of those who love them, especially when it comes to getting in photos.

Too often, we take pictures of others while shying away from being in them ourselves or struggling with our appearance. We're here to remind you to be kind to yourself and to step into the frame—because you belong there, too.

This week's Keepin' It Real question is: "What comes to your mind when you see a picture of yourself?" Let's talk about it together!

In this episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen dive into the powerful topic of how holding onto offense can build barriers that cut off our friendships and relationships.

Living in offense doesn't just hurt us; it creates fences that distance us from those we care about. Today, we explore how to work through being hurt or unintentionally hurting someone else and the importance of walking through the stages of forgiveness.

We can maintain and even strengthen our connections by placing a higher value on our relationships than on the offenses. Tune in as we discuss practical steps to let go of offenses and embrace forgiveness.

Keepin' It Real Question:
"Has there been a time someone offended you, and how did you work through that?"

Welcome to another "Keepin' It Real" episode with Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen. Today, we dive into the challenging yet transformative "Seasons of Waiting."

Our Keepin' It Real Question is, "What was one of the hardest seasons of waiting for you?"

In this episode, we share our stories of waiting and invite you to share yours. We explore how the enormous battlefield during these times is often in our minds as we struggle with not seeing the whole picture and wondering about our next steps.

We'll discuss practical strategies to navigate these waiting periods, such as turning to specific scriptures and reading them out loud when anxiety strikes and the power of listening to worship music. We also emphasize the importance of being selective about who you share your journey with, ensuring they are comforting and uplifting.

Remember, waiting is not a sign of inactivity. God works behind the scenes, even when we can't see it. Join us as we find strength and hope in these seasons of waiting, and let's support each other through them.

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, a Christian podcast for women navigating life's journey with faith and authenticity.

In one of our previous episodes, "Dear Younger Me," we encouraged you to revisit your younger self and let her know how grateful you are that she made it through all of the life you've experienced up to this point. We also encouraged you to share what you would tell her now, with all of the wisdom you've gained through the years. That's Episode 29, so take a moment to enjoy it!

Today, we dive into a heartfelt conversation in "Dear Older Me."

In this episode, we pose the Keepin' It Real Question: What is the age of my older self, and what do I want her to know about what's to come? How do I hope she chooses to live her life?

We explore the profound reflections and wisdom we would impart to our future selves, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the values and experiences that shape us.

As we journey through life's inevitable changes, we discuss how to hold onto the parts of life we deeply value. We'll also reflect on what our older selves would say to our younger selves, recognizing that the essence of who we are remains constant, no matter our age.

Join us for an episode filled with thoughtful insights, spiritual growth, and encouragement as we bridge the gap between our past, present, and future selves.

In this powerful episode of Keepin It Real, we dive into the challenging "Seasons of Hard" that life often throws our way. Everyone faces tough times, but how we navigate through them shapes our growth and resilience.

Join us as we explore the idea that difficult periods can be divine opportunities for personal growth and that emerging from these hardships allows us to cherish the blessings even more.

Our "Keepin It Real" question this week is: "Has there been a time in your life when you felt a little like Job from the Bible, due to one situation after the other happening, and you just get to the point where you say Enough?"

We share personal stories and insights on feeling overwhelmed by sometimes seemingly continuous struggles and how to maintain hope and determination through faith in God.

We'll also discuss the importance of not giving up, drawing strength from God's promises, and the power of community and connection to avoid feelings of isolation.

This episode reminds us that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and with God's grace, we can come out stronger on the other side of life's toughest seasons.

Tune in for an episode filled with real talk, encouragement, and the reassurance that we are never alone in our journeys.
