Do you long to see God move in your life—even in the middle of the mess?

 

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of talking with Jenny Randle about her new Bible study, The Promised Presence. Together, we explore how the supernatural power of Holy Spirit brings restoration, healing, and purpose, even when the world feels out of control.

 

Through her study of Luke and Acts, Jenny helps us:
Understand Holy Spirit’s influence on the early church and in our lives today


Find biblical answers to our questions about His work


Grow in our spiritual gifts and personal walk with God


Learn to operate in the Spirit’s power to advance God’s kingdom



 

Whether you’re walking through brokenness or just longing for more of God, this conversation will encourage you to trust that He can still turn messes into miracles.

 

Let’s lean into His presence together,

Rachael

The Love Offering

In this episode of the Love Offering Podcast, host Rachael Adams welcomes Jenny Randle, author of 'The Promised Presence.' They discuss the often misunderstood role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, exploring misconceptions, the nature of being spirit-filled, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jenny shares her personal journey with the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of love in using spiritual gifts and encouraging listeners to seek a deeper relationship with God.

Experience the Transformative Power of Holy Spirit: A Conversation with Jenny Randle

Have you ever felt that quiet tension between your ambition and your faith?

You love Jesus.
You’re grateful for the gifts and opportunities He’s given you.
And yet… the pace feels relentless.

The meetings, the deadlines, the expectations, the invisible pressure to keep achieving and proving. Even when things are going well, there can still be a restlessness underneath it all.

That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcastwith Erin Harrigan about her book, Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success with Jesus.

Erin speaks directly to high-achieving Christian women—women who care deeply about excellence in their work but don’t want success to come at the cost of their peace, their families, or their intimacy with God.

In our conversation, we talk about:
The subtle ways self-reliance sneaks into our work
Why hustle culture can quietly shape our identity
How to pursue ambition without striving for worth
Practical rhythms that anchor your workday in Christ
What it looks like to measure success differently

What I love most is that Erin doesn’t tell women to abandon ambition. Instead, she invites us to surrender it—to bring our goals, businesses, and careers under the lordship of Jesus so that our work becomes an offering rather than an idol.

As someone who understands the tension of building a platform, stewarding opportunities, and caring for family at the same time, this message felt especially timely. We can work diligently and faithfully without carrying the crushing weight of proving ourselves.

You were never meant to hustle for your value.
You already have it in Christ.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, quietly burned out, or simply hungry for a healthier rhythm, I think this episode will encourage you deeply.

Praying this conversation helps you release striving and receive the steady, sustaining presence of the Lord in your work.

With love,
Rachael

Have you ever tried your best to show someone you love them… only to feel like it didn’t quite land? You did the thoughtful thing. You said the kind words. You showed up. And yet something still felt missed.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Gary Chapman to talk about his newest book, The Love Language That Matters Most. For decades, his message about the five love languages has helped millions of people better understand how to give and receive love. But as he shared in our conversation, discovering someone’s love language is only the beginning.

Each love language has what he calls “dialects”—deeply personal ways love is expressed and received. Miss those nuances, and even the right language can fall flat.

It was such a rich and practical conversation. We talked about:
Why love often gets lost in translation—even when our intentions are good
How to personalize love so it truly resonates with the people closest to us
What this looks like in marriage, parenting, friendships, and even caring for aging parents
How to pay attention to the subtle clues our loved ones are giving us

One of my favorite reminders from Dr. Chapman was this:

“The love language that matters most is the one your loved one is longing to hear.”

Isn’t that simple—and yet so profound?

As someone who cares deeply about loving well in our everyday lives, I found this conversation to be both grounding and hopeful. Love isn’t complicated, but it does require attentiveness. It asks us to slow down, to listen closely, and to serve the heart before us.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood—or worried that someone you love feels that way—this episode will encourage you. May the Lord give us eyes to see and ears to hear the hearts entrusted to us.

Marriage has a way of bringing both our deepest joy—and our deepest pain—to the surface. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the same frustrating patterns, wondering why you keep ending up here, you’re not alone. In honor of National Marriage Week, I want to share a meaningful conversation fromThe Love Offering Podcast with Ron Deal about his book,The Mindful Marriage: Create Your Best Relationship Through Understanding and Managing Yourself.

 

This book—and our conversation—is especially powerful because it’s rooted in both neuroscience and biblical truth. Ron openly shares how the devastating loss of their child nearly shattered his marriage, pushing him into painful and destructive cycles he and his wife Nan didn’t know how to stop. At their breaking point, they found help through Restoration Therapy, developed by pioneering therapists Dr. Terry Hargrave and Sharon Hargrave, LMFT—a model that has helped millions learn emotional mindfulness and self-regulation in relationships.

 

Real change in marriage begins not by fixing your spouse, but by understanding and managing yourself in moments of emotional distress. Ron and Nan, alongside the Hargraves, challenge many popular myths about how relationships work and offer a proven path to healing, connection, and lasting love. If you’re longing for a stronger, healthier marriage—or simply want to love your spouse more faithfully—this conversation is for you.

 

My prayer this National Marriage Week is that you would be encouraged to believe that healing is possible, patterns can be broken, and love can grow again—even in the places that feel tender or worn. 

 

Much love,

Rachael

In this episode of the Love Offering Podcast, host Rachael Adams welcomes Ron Deal, a licensed marriage and family therapist, to discuss the profound impact of grief on marriage and the importance of emotional mindfulness. Ron shares his personal journey of navigating the loss of his son and how it reshaped his marriage with his wife, Nan. They discovered restoration therapy, a model that emphasizes understanding emotional responses to break destructive cycles in relationships. Ron emphasizes that every couple faces challenges, and the key to overcoming them lies in doubling down on faith and learning to move towards one another during difficult times.    The conversation examines the neuroscience behind emotional patterns in relationships, highlighting how our brains respond to perceived threats and how these responses can lead to destructive cycles. Ron explains the importance of self-control and intentionality in marriage, urging couples to focus on their own growth rather than pointing fingers at each other. He encourages listeners to seek help when needed and emphasizes that true change comes from aligning one's actions with God's truth. The episode concludes with a call to action for couples to pursue love intentionally and to participate in National Marriage Week, which offers free resources to strengthen marriages.
