By: Pamela Ames and Mary Cochran

In a world that has more than enough information and noise, we believe it's still possible to anchor ourselves and have peace in the midst of a scattered world. We're a mother/daughter duo who span two generations, but share one message. We will delve into what it looks like to be fully integrated- mind, body, and spirit and will bring encouragement and hope all along the way. We get it, life is hard. Let’s be real, hard doesn’t even begin to describe it on some days. But we want you to know that you’re not alone. And no...

76: What is Your Calling?
#76
Yesterday at 12:00 PM

Hey friends! Welcome back to another episode of the "More Than Enough" podcast. Today, we're getting real about something many of us wonder about: What is our true calling? What’s that thing we’re meant to do, and how do we figure it out?

We kick things off by reflecting on what “calling” really means. We often get stuck on the idea that our calling has to be this big, elusive purpose or a specific job title. But here's the thing: while our individual callings may look different on the surface, they all share a common foundati...


75: Sacred Morning Routines

09/03/2024

Today, we’re diving into something that seems to be everywhere these days: morning routines. But we’re adding our own twist—calling them "Sacred Morning Routines."

We truly believe that a morning routine isn't just about checking things off a list; it's about creating a sacred space, a spiritual rhythm that anchors us in times of transition. It’s about finding that quiet moment to connect with God and ourselves, to set our hearts and minds on things above. It’s been life-changing for both of us, and we hope to inspire you to explore what this could...

08/27/2024

In this episode, we delve into why it’s crucial to pause and reflect on the transitions we experience, whether they’re monumental life changes or everyday shifts. We often rush through these periods without acknowledging their impact, but taking time to reflect allows us to fully process what we've been through. It’s in these moments of reflection that we can truly appreciate the growth, grieve what’s been lost, and prepare our hearts for what lies ahead.

We discuss the importance of allowing yourself to feel the full spectrum of emotions that come with transitions. Whether...

Today’s episode is extra special as we come to you from the same location, marking the beginning of a new chapter for our family. As many of you know, we’ve just completed a huge move across the country, leaving behind our beloved Kansas City and settling back in Asheville, North Carolina, to be closer to family.

In this episode, we reflect on the importance of finishing well—whether it’s a move, a job, a season of life, or even a relationship. We also explore how, even when things get tough, we can find unexpected grace an...

Today's episode is all about transitions. We delve into how change, whether anticipated or unexpected, can shape our lives in profound ways.

Pamela shares the deeply personal story of her and her husband’s four-year journey to renovate their first home after 43 years of marriage. What started as a simple project turned into an arduous, yet ultimately rewarding, process that taught them invaluable lessons about perseverance, patience, and the importance of finishing what they started. This renovation became more than just a physical transformation—it became a symbol of God’s faithfulness in their marriage and lives.

As August begins, many of us find ourselves in the whirlwind of life—kids starting school and routines going haywire. It's the perfect time to pause, reflect, and jump into this next season.

In today's episode we are naming what's been life giving for us in this past season.

Hey guys, welcome back to the More Than Enough podcast. It's the last Tuesday in July, and as of this recording, we're gearing up for a significant move back to North Carolina. Our family is excited about this new adventure, even though it's a huge transition for all of us.

Today, we are wrapping up our Summer of Psalms series with a psalm that feels like the culmination of everything we've explored over the past weeks and that's Psalm 139.

As we conclude our Summer of Psalms series, we invite you to meditate on Psalm 139 and...


69 Psalm 103 - Remembering The Lord's Goodness
#69
07/23/2024

Today, we’re continuing our Summer of Psalms series with Psalm 103. This psalm is all about mercy and compassion, and it’s a beautiful reminder of God’s loving kindness.

As we read through this psalm, it’s a powerful reminder to remember God’s mercy and faithfulness, and to give Him praise. It’s easy to get caught up in the worries of life, but pausing to remember and praise God for His goodness can transform our perspective!

Sometimes, we can struggle with pausing to remember God’s faithfulness. We are such a forgetful people, and it...


68: Psalm 91 - He is the Only Safe Place
#68
07/16/2024

In today's episode we read and discuss Psalm 91. Often referred to as the "Psalm of Protection."

The very first verse sets the tone, promising rest in the shadow of the Almighty WHEN we dwell in the shelter of the Most High. This chapter reminds us that it is ONLY in his presence that we will find our peace and rest.

It is so easy to get lost in a million other things and then we find ourselves stumbling in the darkness overwhelmed and overcome. But this Psalm reminds us again that He alone is our...


67: Psalm 77 - The Great Exchange
#67
07/09/2024

This summer, we have been taking some time to reflect on the Psalms each week. We've carefully selected eight Psalms, and today we're focusing on Psalm 77.

If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to read through Psalm 77. The raw emotion and sincerity of the words are both comforting and humbling.

There's a beautiful vulnerability in admitting our struggles and sorrows openly before God. Just last week, I found myself in a Psalm 77 moment, overwhelmed with grief. Everything felt like a 10 out of 10 in intensity, and I could hear God inviting me to weep...
