Welcome to Sunshine in my Nest Podcast! I'm your host Elizabeth Santelmann. I hope these chats with our mentors about gospel-centered living will equip and inspire you to grow spiritually, love your family, and invest in your local community! Through the conversations with these women of faith I’ve learned to pray and trust God's plans are good for me. I've grown in empathy, obedience to God’s will, patience with my kids, skills to disciple my kids, and reflected on how my day to day life impacts my faith walk. I pray that listening will do the same for you! Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/elizabeth-santelmann/support

Oct 31 2024 3 mins  
Because he lived, died, and resurrected we can face our trials and even have the option of faith resulting from it! But here is the best part. You don’t have to squeeze out fruit on your own. You don’t have to muster enough faith to produce fruit. Our fruit is an extension of his work and flows from him through us. Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Around the Ancient World�

Oct 29 2024 24 mins  
For me, the new year feels like it starts in November, so it feels appropriate to have this conversation now. Every October my new planner arrives at the perfect time in October, so I can get started thinking through my new year! By late December I’m way too tired to be objective. Why is planning important? I’ve talked to people before about how I plan and they look at me like

Give Thanks Mini: How is Thanks a Sacrifice?

Oct 24 2024 4 mins  
A sacrifice of praise is shifting the heart’s position to recognize you don’t create the good in your own life and that good things don’t come to you by luck, attraction, or manifesting. All good is given to you by God. When you choose to do something, even pleasurable for the right reasons, or recognize your own story in the middle of God's bigger story. Brought to you by

Give Thanks Mini: Is Gratitude Even Important?

Oct 17 2024 4 mins  
No matter how dark life gets, we give thanks that he has entered our darkness and brought the light of hope. This is why we eat in remembrance of him. The world is broken. Things were not as they should be, and yet Christ entered it to make a way to restore us back to himself. He was broken in the place of the brokenness we encounter, so the hope he is can be ours. So take heart an

115. Heroes of Faith Themed Cookbook with Trillia Newbell

Oct 15 2024 18 mins  
The food and traditions our families have are so important. Jesus told stories and disciples around the table with his followers. You may noticed there are so many themed cookbooks that are out there to inspire and disciple us into things like "The World of Hogwarts" or "Gillmore Girls." Trillia has done something really neat. She's taken the stories of Black heroes of faith and co

Life takes a lot of twists and turns that we don't see coming. What we do with those and how we spend our moments is how we spend our lives. The more I read about psychology the more I believe there is so much choice involved in a half-full or half-empty mentality. No one does half-full quite the way I've seen Sally do it. Sally Clarkson shares how she met Jesus. How she c

Names of God MINI: Does El Roi See You?

This verse and this story is a reminder that God sees those who are being abused, subjugated, and sinned against. In Old Testament law looking out for the underprivileged and foreigners were directly tied to blessings, and God promised judgment for abusing them to build up one’s self.

113. Aging in Wisdom with Maryanne Challies Helms

Oct 01 2024 20 mins  
If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow. This topic is coming at such an

Names of God MINI: Can Jehovah Rapha Heal You

Sep 26 2024 4 mins  
It’s easy to limit how we think of God’s healing power. We jump to physical healing and provision. But The Bible shows us times when God healed physically (2 Kings 5:10), emotionally (Psalm 34:18), mentally (Daniel 4:34), and spiritually (Psalm 103:2–3). Jesus reinforces the idea of holistic healing by doing the same during his ministry. Brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠Around th
