In this first episode of our new Letters to Me series, I sit down with Lyndy Stokes to talk about her story—one shaped by adoption, identity questions, and the deep ache of rejection… and ultimately, the truth that she was chosen all along.

Lyndy is an author, mom of three, and the creator of Light and Truth Company, where she helps families engage with Scripture in simple, meaningful ways. In this conversation, we walk through her story—from being adopted as an infant, to a pivotal moment as a teenager that shifted how she saw herself, to the years that followed as she searched for identity in all the wrong places.

We talk about:

•  how adoption shaped her understanding of identity 
•  the moment everything changed at 13 
•  what rejection can do to the way we see ourselves 
•  where we tend to look for worth when we feel unseen 
•  how God was present in every part of her story—even when she couldn’t see it 
•  and what she would say now to her younger self 

This conversation is honest, raw, and full of hope for anyone who has ever questioned their worth or wondered where they truly belong.

If this episode encourages you, make sure you’re following the podcast so you don’t miss the rest of the Letters to Me series.

This week, we’re continuing the conversation—looking at the quieter, more subtle places temptation shows up in our everyday lives.

Because sometimes it’s not about survival mode…

Sometimes it’s when you’re:

•  Hurt or misunderstood 
•  Feeling unseen or overlooked 
•  Or honestly… when everything seems “fine” 

In this episode, we talk about:

•  Why hurt can make us want to pull others into our offense 
•  The temptation to isolate, avoid, or justify distance 
•  What it really means to feel unseen (and how we sometimes contribute to it) 
•  How “good seasons” can quietly pull us away from God 
•  And how to actually respond in the moment—not just in theory 

We also break down three simple anchors to help you navigate temptation in real life:
 The Spirit. Scripture. And Relationships.

This conversation is honest, layered, and incredibly practical—and a reminder that you are not alone in any of this.

If Part 1 helped you recognize temptation…
 Part 2 helps you respond to it.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by three wise and honest women for a real conversation about what temptation can look like in seasons of depletion, burnout, secrecy, overworking, numbing, and survival mode.

This is Part 1 of a two-part panel discussion wrapping up the temptation series.

In this conversation, they talk about:

• how temptation often meets legitimate needs in illegitimate ways
• why burnout and emotional exhaustion can make us more vulnerable
• the temptation to numb, escape, hide, or pretend we’re okay
• the power of bringing struggles into the light
• why Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and trusted relationships matter so much when we’re trying to overcome

This episode is honest, practical, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt drained, stuck, or tempted to cope in ways that only create more distance from God, others, or themselves.

Subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2 next week.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we finish our journey through the temptations of Jesus in Matthew 4 and uncover why the most dangerous temptations are the ones that feel justified, spiritual, or even good.

We explore:

• How temptation meets legitimate needs in illegitimate ways
• Why pride and self-reliance quietly erode our relationship with God
• The danger of choosing shortcuts over calling
• Why Satan’s offers often look like blessings
• How Jesus resisted temptation and protected what mattered most

Jesus was offered power, validation, and relief — things His people wanted and expected.
 But instead of taking the shortcut, He chose obedience, trust, and purpose.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of chasing things that look good but leave them empty — and who wants to become an overcomer by following the way of Jesus.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we continue our conversation on temptation by looking at the second temptation of Jesus — when He’s challenged to jump from the top of the temple and prove who He is.

We talk about:

• Why pride always looks like truth from the inside
• How Scripture can be twisted to support the wrong agenda
• The danger of testing God instead of trusting Him
• How pride damages relationships with God, others, and ourselves
• Why Jesus refused to take the shortcut — even when it made sense

Jesus didn’t overcome temptation by proving Himself.
 He overcame it by protecting relationship and trusting the Father.

This episode is Part 2 in our temptation series.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we begin a multi-episode journey through one of the most relatable moments in Scripture: Jesus being tempted in the wilderness.

Using the story of the marshmallow experiment, real-life examples, and Matthew 4, we explore:

Why temptation often feels reasonable and justifiable

How Jesus faced real human desire—and didn’t give in

The pattern we all know: we see, we want… and then we take

Why temptation often means meeting legitimate needs in illegitimate ways

How Scripture, the Spirit, and relationship protect us from self-destruction

Jesus wasn’t immune to temptation—but He overcame it.
And the same tools He used are available to you.

This is Part 1 of a series on temptation, self-control, and protecting what matters most.

Everyday Truths exists to make faith real, relevant, and livable—right in the middle of real life.

In this episode, I’m sharing the heart behind the launch of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, a brand-new podcast created to help kids grow a simple, real faith—and help families have meaningful conversations together.

This podcast started with real conversations in everyday life: in the car, during girls’ nights, and through honest questions kids already ask. It’s shaped by my own children’s curiosity, courage, and desire to share faith with other kids.

We talk about:

• Why faith conversations with kids matter more than we realize
• Why parents and trusted adults are already equipped—even without perfect answers
• How modeling real, imperfect faith makes a lasting impact
• Why you don’t need to outsource spiritual conversations with your kids

Whether you’re a parent or simply someone who has kids in your life, this episode is an encouragement that you are the right person to have these conversations.

🗓 Everyday Truths Kids Podcast launches February 18, 2026

Coming next on the Everyday Truths Podcast: the Overcomer series—exploring temptation, trust, and how Jesus meets us in everyday struggles.

In this episode we’ll explore:

Why the angels’ announcement to the shepherds was a cosmic event, not just a cute scene (Luke 2:8–14)

What it really means that “the Word became flesh” and how I explain that to my kids (John 1:1, 14)

How Jesus’ coming gives us a new identity as children of God, not spiritual employees trying to earn our keep (John 1:12; Romans 8:15–17)

The difference between fitting in and belonging—and why Christmas anchors us in real belonging

How Jesus brings a peace the world cannot manufacture, especially for those carrying heaviness this season (Isaiah 9:6–7; Philippians 4:7; Galatians 5:22–23)

Why suffering is not the end of the story, and how Revelation 21 gives us hope when life feels anything but “merry and bright”

If you’re feeling let down after Christmas, weighed down by grief or stress, or just wondering how any of this actually impacts your real life in January—this conversation is for you.

We’ll walk through the stories of Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, the shepherds, the magi, and Herod—and what their responses reveal about faith, doubt, control, courage, and joy. From Mary’s honest questions to Joseph’s costly obedience, from Zechariah’s skepticism to Elizabeth’s celebration, each person gives us a different window into how we might respond to Jesus, too.

By the end, I’ll invite you to ask a simple but challenging question:
 
How am I actually responding to Jesus in this season—not just in theory, but in my real, everyday life?

In this first episode of the Christmas series, we zoom out and look at the big picture of Christmas:
how sin fractured our relationship with God, how shame entered the story, and how God immediately began a rescue plan that would one day lead to Jesus.

We’ll walk through:

• The moment brokenness entered the story (Genesis 3)
• Why sin always hurts and breaks relationships
• God’s “passionate commitment” to His people (Isaiah 9:6–7)
• The promise of a righteous King who would make us right with God (Jeremiah 23:5–6)
• What it really means that “the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14)

If you’re walking into this season feeling a little worn out, ashamed, or unsure how your story fits into the “Christmas cheer,” this episode is for you. The Christmas story reminds us that when everything looked broken, God wasn’t finished yet—and He’s not finished with you either.

Scriptures: Genesis 3, Isaiah 9:6–7, Jeremiah 23:5–6, John 1:14

I hope this episode helps you feel a little less pressure and a lot more peace as you take your next faithful step.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by her husband Wesley for a real, unpolished conversation on parenting with purpose. Using the same framework they apply to strong relationships—eat together, play together, talk about life & God together, work together—they share how those rhythms shape the way they raise their kids.

They talk about:

• Why it’s normal to feel unqualified (and why dependence on God is part of the design)
• Setting shared parenting goals so your day-to-day decisions aren’t random or reactive
• Teaching kids kindness, boundaries, and ownership of their choices
• Parenting different personalities with the same core values
• Praying over your kids, seeing who God made them to be (not who you wish they were), and playing the long game: grown kids who still want to come home

Whether you’re parenting littles, leading teens, co-parenting, single parenting, or investing in nieces, nephews, or students—this episode will help you think about parenting with more clarity, grace, and intentionality.

Prompt to Take With You:
What vision or “true north” do you want to guide the way you show up for the kids in your life?

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by her husband, Wesley, to answer a listener question: “How do you guys work together?” From playful conspiracy theories to practical frameworks, they unpack how they’ve learned to live as teammates—not rivals—in marriage, family life, and calling.

Together they talk about:

• Seeing marriage as a shared mission instead of separate agendas
• The power of “same team” language and why it’s anchored in Genesis
• The four markers of providential relationships: eating, playing, talking about life & God, and working together
• How they decide who leads and who supports on projects (without ego… most days 😉)
• Why unspoken goals create tension—and how naming a clear, shared goal can shift the whole tone of a day, a move, or even the holidays

This conversation is for couples, friends, teammates, and anyone who wants their relationships to feel more united and intentional.

What’s one shared goal you can clearly communicate this week so you can stop guessing and start pulling in the same direction?

This week, Sherri sits down with John Pyle to talk about the moments when you know what God’s asking, but fear, timing, or uncertainty make it hard to move.

From discerning God’s voice to finding peace in the pause, this honest conversation will help you take your next step of faith—one small act of trust at a time.

💡 Episode theme: When You’re Afraid to Do What God’s Asking

—
 Everyday Truths with Sherri Richard — making faith real and relevant so we can live it out in our everyday lives.

In this episode of Everyday Truths, Sherri and her longtime friend John Glenn Pyle talk about what it means to hear from God in seasons of silence.

They explore why quiet seasons aren’t punishment, how to recognize God’s presence in the wilderness, and what to do when it seems like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. You’ll walk away reminded that:

• You’re not broken—you’re being shaped
• God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence
• The next right step is often the only one you need

Plus, stay for a hilarious opening about conspiracy theories, Rubik’s cubes, and Fabio-level hair—because faith can be real and relevant.

I’ve been grieving the way we, as believers, have started to mirror the noise of the world—louder, harsher, and quicker to divide. But Jesus didn’t call us to win arguments; He called us to love people.

In this episode, we’ll revisit stories like the Good Samaritan and the woman caught in adultery—and remember what it means to hold both grace and truth in a world that desperately needs both.

That simple prop opens a real conversation about spiritual maturity—why growth is messy, why comparison stalls us, and why “more” isn’t always the mark of “mature.” I share how I think about Paul’s milk-to-meat imagery, the role of community, and the quiet practices (like being still and saying no) that actually form us.

In this episode, We:

• Talk about why new believers need grace and why seasoned believers need humility.
• Reframe maturity as progress with Jesus, not perfection or performance.
• Offer simple ways I grow today: seek Him, be still, stay in community, serve someone nearby.

If you’re craving practical, real-life faith without the pressure to have it all figured out, this one’s for you.

Whether you’re navigating office politics, corporate cubicles, or ministry staff meetings, this episode will help you find courage, compassion, and clarity for your everyday faith.

In this week’s Table Talk, we’re unpacking the idea of pruning — not as punishment, but as protection and purpose. From garden analogies to real-life stories, we talk about why letting go can be so hard, how to recognize “beautiful weeds” that look good but block fruit, and the practical ways God calls us to trim back so we can flourish.

We’ll explore:

• What biblical pruning really means (and why it matters)
• Simple questions to help you discern what needs to be cut back
• How to heal and protect yourself after hard cuts
• Why even “good things” can become obstacles to God’s best
• The fruit God grows in us when we stay connected to Him

🎧 You’ll hear:

What obedience looks like when it’s not impressive

How God often uses detours to do deep work

The unexpected importance of healing in your calling

Letting go of performance and pressure in ministry

Why small steps of faith still count

Well hey y’all—welcome back to the Everyday Truths Podcast! If you’ve ever felt like stepping away from a role meant stepping away from your purpose… this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, Tiffany and I continue the conversation about what happens after the big faith leap—when obedience feels messy, identity feels wobbly, and you start asking, “Did I just bench myself?”

This episode is raw, reflective, and packed with laughter (and a few shoutouts to miserable cows, cat-cow pose, and a flame-stickered cane 😅).

We’re talking about:

Letting go of titles, roles, and other people's expectations

Navigating calling when clarity disappears

My journey from vocational ministry into something I never expected

Sitting with grief (and learning to laugh again)

What small beginnings really look like in real life

If you're in a season of transition, trying to untangle your identity from your job, ministry, or past self—pull up a chair. We’re keeping it real and reminding each other that growth doesn’t always look like progress… and sometimes healing looks like hysterical pool laughter.

👉 Be sure to follow, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend who needs a little hope for the messy middle.

🎙️ Welcome to the Everyday Truths Podcast! In our new table talks we’re ditching the script and pulling up a chair for real, unfiltered conversations.

In this episode, I (Sherri) share the behind-the-scenes story of why I stepped away from vocational ministry—specifically from my role as a teaching pastor—and how that unexpected exit led me to start this podcast.

The unglamorous reality of ministry burnout

Identity and calling when the role disappears

What it’s like to start over (with no 5-year plan in sight)

And why small beginnings matter more than you think

If you’ve ever asked “what now, God?” — this one’s for you.
