091 - Book | The Celebration of Discipline
December 01, 2020 10:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBToday, it is a privilege to share with you one of my favorite books of all time. It's called the Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. I was introduced to this book in my 12th grade Bible class believe it or not, in high school, and it opened my eyes to the depths of Christianity, friend. And I don't know about you. I'm tired of surface, trite, make-it-what-you-want-it Christianity. I want the real God of the universe. I want what he has to say, even if it's hard to hear it. This b...

089 - One Word A Day
November 17, 2020 09:00 - 14 minutes - 11.6 MBIf you have followed me for any amount of time, you know that I've always been big on having a morning routine and a quiet time and journaling. To me, these have always been super important in my life: they ground me and anchor me. So when I became a mom, during that newborn phase of life, it was very hard to determine which way was up or down. And the Lord taught me this simple practice. It doesn't take a lot of time, but still to this day, it speaks straight to my heart and it ground...

November 10, 2020 10:00 - 38 minutes - 27.5 MBWelcome to this month's edition of the Nancy Ray Book Club, where I choose 12 books to read in a year, and I invite you to join me in reading them, and then I share my takeaways in the book of the month every month. This month I am thrilled to be talking about Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. He argues that social media is crazy, it's out of control, it's addictive, it's unhealthy, and yet it's a very real part of our lives. We have got to learn how to live with it and not just live wit...

November 03, 2020 09:00 - 22 minutes - 16.8 MBHappy Election Day! Now, listen, I know tensions are running high. I know convictions and beliefs that we hold have been tried and tested in this year. And especially this election season, it's been heavy. It's been divisive and it's been really hard. I don't know about you, but I have been doing a deeper dive behind the scenes, listening to podcasts, reading books, having conversations with my close friends and family, to really answer the question: What are my own beliefs about all of ...
086 - Find More Hours In Your Week
October 27, 2020 09:00 - 19 minutes - 15 MBOkay, have you ever sat down and thought about everything you do in a week, all the work, all the things you're responsible for all the fun you want to have, all the exercise you need, all the sleep you need, and thoughtfully written out how you would like to live your ideal week? If you never have, I'm so excited for you to try this. And if you have done this before, I have found one of the greatest benefits of this exercise is doing it often, because guess what? Life changes. This week...

October 20, 2020 09:00 - 18 minutes - 13.8 MBWriting a five year business plan can feel daunting and overwhelming, especially if you don't even know where you want to be in five years, which is probably most of us. Today, I'm going to break it down. I'm going to break it down for you in a way that is actually attainable. You'll be able to wrap your mind around it. And quite frankly, for me, it's really exciting to have that kind of a vision. Let's take a few minutes to dream about life and work and lay out a game plan for the nex...
084 - Start Now to Finish Strong
October 13, 2020 09:00 - 13 minutes - 10.5 MBThis episode is the gentle reminder that Halloween is in two weeks, Thanksgiving is coming, and Christmas is on its way. The shopping, the planning, the decorating, the end of year celebrations, and parties, and whirlwinds, all of it is right around the corner. Often times, this is the time of year where we go a little off the rails with our eating, our spending, with our planning. We just do too much of all of it. So, my encouragement to you today is that if you want to finish this ye...
083 - Book | Rhythms of Renewal
October 06, 2020 08:00 - 21 minutes - 16 MBToday's book is Rhythms of Renewal by Rebekah Lyons. And it's one of those books I just kept hearing about. It kept popping up on my social media feed or in a podcast or I saw a friend reading it. And after looking into what it was all about, I knew I wanted to get my hands on it. In it, Rebecca outlines four rhythms for a life of peace and purpose. I couldn't help but think back to my episode just a couple episodes ago on self-care, because I feel like this book is a deeper dive and how w...

081 - A New Look at Self-Care
September 22, 2020 09:00We are constantly hearing and seeing the message of self-care. Take time for yourself. Don't forget to care for yourself. Drink water. Exercise. Go get your nails done.

078 - Book | The Pumpkin Plan
September 01, 2020 09:00 - 27 minutes - 20.5 MBAbout a year ago, my friend, Sammy Jo, who works with me on my content creation and producing this podcast, she recommended this business book to me called The Pumpkin Plan. She recommended it at the time that I was launching this new brand that I have. I had just launched this podcast, and I added this book to my long list of books that I wanted to read. As we were starting to do research and kind of figure out what content we wanted to make, she started asking me these questions that wer...
077 - Back to School Rhythms and Routines
August 25, 2020 09:00 - 26 minutes - 19.6 MBDoing school shopping this year as a parent, I've realized there's a different side to it than when we were younger, and it's not so pretty. There's a lot to manage. There's a lot to take hold of. And I've learned this: there's a lot of different correspondence and papers, a lot of different things going on. And so I have decided, I am going to learn from other moms and put some systems into place. I don't have a ton of years under my belt—I fully admit that—but I am committed to putting...
076 - How to Write a Clear Purpose Statement
August 18, 2020 09:00 - 29 minutes - 21.5 MBHow to write a purpose statement. It seems a little daunting, doesn't it? All right, I have to enter this episode with the worst purpose / mission statement of all time. It's actually like the best-worst mission statement of all time. And then we'll play a little game after I read it, you can guess what company it is, all right? All right, this is it: “We provide our products and services with dedication to the highest degree of integrity and quality of customer satisfaction, developin...
075 - A Vision For This Season
August 11, 2020 09:00 - 17 minutes - 13 MBI feel like I could easily tell you the vision of who I want to be at the end of my life, or even 10 years from now. Or I can make a strong vision for my business or work, where it's going in the next three to five years. But this year, 2020, is a struggle. It has given us all a really unique challenge, and I think the hardest part of all is that it's just so hard to catch a vision for what this year or even 2021 should look like, because it's impossible to make any plans. We feel like i...
074 - Book | The Nightingale
August 04, 2020 09:00 - 22 minutes - 16.6 MBThe Nightingale has been on my list to read for probably three years as it's one of my dearest friend's all time favorite books, and she's an avid reader, so I knew it was going to be good. It absolutely did not disappoint. Listen, I am not a huge fan of novels or fiction books, but I think this book may have changed that for me, I could not put it down. It was so good. On the night I finished reading the book, I was in the bed, wiping tears from my eyes as I finished the last pages, not...

Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9. There is a lot of fear right now. Fear of COVID, fear of losing somebody who gets COVID, fear of losing your job, fear that you won't be able to find another job because you've been out of work for awhile now, fear surrounding the heated discussions about racism in America, fear of the riots, fear of the future, fear that you're g...

I know you know this, but sometimes it's good to hear a reminder of where you are, so you can reset your thinking and really make sure you're on the right track.

It was about the day-to-day life, about the little things, and really, all about your health and happiness as a mom. So, I hope you really enjoy our conversation today. Read the full show notes at...

Five whole years of sweet little Milly being in our lives. Five whole years of me being a mama. I can not believe it. These five years have come by really fast and really slow all at the same time.

Today, I just want to say: I'm with you, I have felt it, it's real; but I also want to say, that is no way to live out our days as mamas. We have got to do something about this mom guilt epidemic and the mom guilt we feel in our hearts and in our guts, we need to identify the root of it and ultimately be freed from it so that we can be the guilt free, confident mama leaders of our family that God intends fo...

059 - Growing Faith in Your Littles
May 12, 2020 10:00 - 22 minutes - 16.5 MBWhen we think about motherhood, one of the greatest honors and privileges that we have as mothers is to speak life and hope and eternity into the hearts of our children, to grow their faith and point them straight to Jesus. Now the weight of this is really real. I feel it because our influence in their lives is profound, but it's also exciting. And it's fun to watch their little spiritual eyes be opened and to have a part in opening them. I often think I can take this responsibility super ...

April 28, 2020 10:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBIt's Nancy Ray Book Club week, which means I'm going to be talking about the book Beginner's Pluck by Liz Forkin Bohannon. Let me just say, this book was so good. Rarely do I read words on a page that make me laugh out loud, but this happened almost every night that I read it before I fell asleep. To the point and that Will started joking with me about it, but I would just say, "No, no wait, you have to listen to this." And much to his delight, I'm sure right before we went to bed, I would p...

052 - Prioritizing Play
April 07, 2020 10:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MBThe title of this podcast is Work and Play with Nancy Ray, which you already know. Today, I'm excited to jump into the topic of play, because during this strange season of our lives when many of us are quarantined or under some kind of order to shelter in place for at least six weeks, I realize life is not totally clear cut in Work and Play. Right now, there’s a lot of mixing of the two. Our co-workers are our children, and we are pulling weird hours. Also, trying to be present and play wi...
051 - Book | When Less Becomes More
March 31, 2020 10:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MBI think in a nutshell, Emily's book, When Less Becomes More, perfectly summarizes what happens in our work and in our play when things go wrong. When things start to feel really out of balance, really stressful, you start to get anxious, and the bottom line is, it's all too much. When all of it, work and play, it just gets too much, when our workload gets too much, too many meetings, too many projects, too many deadlines, we say yes to every opportunity thrown our way, when we spread ourselv...

I'm making a plan, I'm dreaming about the next thing with my kids or my husband or a project to tackle in my home, or a work idea, or a podcast episode I want to share, or a book I want to read. But wha...

Nobody wants to be bored. Milly, my four-year-old, she already has learned the word bored and boredom and she's learned the phrase, "I'm so bored, mama," and she really can't stand it. I mean, none of us can. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to learn that boredom isn't fun. Now, the first thing you're probably wondering with the title of this episode and wh...
048 - Update to our Dave Ramsey Journey
March 10, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBOne of the biggest factors in our lives is not talked about enough, and that's money. Isn't it weird how money is kind of secretive like that? I don't know. Money affects so many aspects of our lives: it affects our work, the need for money often keeps us trapped in our jobs, motivated to work harder and smarter. Money opens doors in our work and allows us to try new things, or the lack of it takes a physical toll on our bodies and our emotions. When we're stressed out about money, it manife...
