Clean Heart Club

What if you don’t need a different life to love your life?In this episode, I'm asking: Do you love the life you’re living right now? We’ll talk about noticing the beauty God has already placed in your ordinary, everyday life, receiving what is instead of always waiting for what’s next, and learning to see your life with new eyes.Sometimes we don’t need a new life. We just need a new perspective.Join me in the Heaven Sent Masterclass.Connect with Susan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab Your Copy of Hello You⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Thought Calenda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠r⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Clean Heart Club Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clean Heart Club Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Christian Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠

In this heartfelt and wisdom-filled episode of Clean Heart Club, Susan sits down with Jeff and Michelle, a couple who have spent nearly four decades walking faithfully through marriage, ministry, and family life together. With honesty, humor, and deep spiritual insight, they reflect on what it means to build a Christ-centered marriage that lasts—through joy, conflict, calling, and change.From raising six children (including adoption), serving in ministry for 37 years, navigating conflict with grace, and keeping God at the center of everything, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for singles, newlyweds, and long-married couples alike.Resources:Grace Prayer: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCBgCfIQOiC9nKFxLDOc1uwRight Now Media: https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/library/defaultThe Bible Experience: https://www.audible.com/pd/Inspired-By-The-Bible-Experience-Audio-BibleTodays-New-International-Version-TNIV-Old-Testament-Audiobook/B002UZZCJW?ref_pageloadid=KhhLgWLO8QMSHBZE&pf_rd_p=80765e81-b10a-4f33-b1d3-ffb87793d047&pf_rd_r=CTQFTEY6PWFAABK0RTD0&plink=sW8NqhaDggoTFNGr&pageLoadId=jF812Sl1wVqWx2cu&creativeId=4ee810cf-ac8e-4eeb-8b79-40e176d0a225&ref=a_library_t_c5_libItem_B002UZZCJW_6Connect with Susan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab Your Copy of Hello You⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Thought Calenda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠r⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Clean Heart Club Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clean Heart Club Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Christian Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠

In this solo episode of the Clean Heart Club podcast, Susan shares a heartfelt update from life on the farm and opens up about the unexpected resistance she’s faced while preparing for her upcoming masterclass, Heaven Sent Summer: Stop Second Guessing and Step Boldly Into Your Calling.From flooded fields and delayed planting to tech issues and even conflict at home, Susan reflects on how resistance often shows up right before we step into what God is calling us to do. Instead of letting fear, scarcity, people-pleasing, or self-doubt stop her, she’s learning to keep saying “yes” to God anyway.This episode also includes a calming guided prayer and meditation centered around Psalm 100, as Susan unpacks the powerful invitation found in its words: shout, worship, know, enter, give praise.If you’ve been wrestling with fear of what others think, struggling to trust your calling, or feeling spiritually stuck, this conversation will encourage you to move forward with courage and gratitude.Heaven Sent Summer MasterclassGrab Your Copy of Hello You⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Thought Calenda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠r⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Clean Heart Club Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clean Heart Club Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Christian Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠
