    Episode 79: PAUSE for Unstuck Christmas 2023

    Hey friend, 

    It's been a minute since we've connected, 

    I've missed our conversations and can't wait to share all the insights and experiences from my recent speaking engagements and travels on future episodes. From the coasts of Maine to South Florida speaking engagements, I've been soaking up inspiration and can't wait to share it all with you. 

    But for THIS MONTH--lets focus on the Birth of Jesus! I am reading out of my Christmas Devotional book called an Unstuck Christmas. 

    It is available on. AMAZON right now! 

    WE are also gathering as a reading group in a Facebook Group (Pat Layton) called 2023 Unstuck Christmas. 

    I hope you will join us there and tell me you heard the podcast for a special gift!

    So let's hit play for this PAUSE together. 

    Welcome back to Permission to Pause."

    Episode 78: Pause and Take Those Wild Toughts Captive

    Episode 78: Pause and Take Those Wild Toughts Captive

    I recently heard one of my favorite author/speakers use a phrase in random conversation that I could not get off my mind. I was listening to HIS podcast and scribbled a note while driving so would not forget. 
    The phrase he used was “NET THAT butterfly” in reference to not allowing our thoughts to run away with us. That visual image has stuck in my head now for weeks. 
    Stinking thinking tends to be a dangerous downfall of mine if I am not very careful and intentional about NOT allowing that to happen.
    In the fast-paced world we live in, our minds are often buzzing with a flurry of thoughts, opinions, and arguments. It's as if our brains are a never-ending butterfly garden, with thoughts fluttering about like delicate butterflies, each one vying for our attention. 
    2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV, that invites us to bring order to that fluttering chaos: 
    "We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ."
    This verse presents a powerful imagery of netting butterflies – capturing and subduing our thoughts for the purpose of aligning them with Christ's will. 
    Let's pause today to consider what it means to "net the butterfly" in the context of our everyday lives.

    Episode 77: Pause and get to know Katie McGowan

    Episode 77: Pause and get to know Katie McGowan

    As the wife of a former NFL player, podcast host and author Katy McCown knows how it feels to yearn for a sense of belonging. Spending time alone in new, unknown cities as part of her husband’s profession, Katy often searched for women to connect and build community with but often felt unseen and unfulfilled. 
    In her new six-session Bible study and accompanying teaching videos, She Belongs: Finding Your Place in the Body of Christ, Katy provides personal 
    stories and struggles, illustrations, companion videos and questions that remind readers the key to keeping it together is coming together in the body of Christ. Through Katy’s own struggles to keep up and catch up, she learned that the blessing of being part of a Christian community far outweighs the burdens. 

    Pause with me and get to know Katie and her amazing message!
