Ep. 41: vibrancy with michelle myers
In this episode, Val talks with author and She Works His Way founder, Michelle Myers, about what her own vibrant prayer life looks like in real life. She gives specific and practical examples of how praying continually is not passive, but exciting and active.
Michelle loves reminding women of the gospel-centered purpose for their work - both at home and in their careers. She serves alongside her husband, James, at Biltmore Church in Asheville, NC and loves making family memories with their three kids - Noah, Cole and Shea.
She co-leads a ministry for working women called She Works His Way with her best friend, Somer Phoebus. Their book, She Works His Way: A Practical Guide to Do What Matters Most in a Get Things Done World is a great first step to connect with the SWHW mission. You can also join their network at sheworksHisway.com.

Ep. 36: a prayer for vibrancy
Feeling like your prayer life could use a little “oomph”? Pop your headphones in and listen to this short prayer asking God to reignite your prayer life.
Here is a guided prayer to help you fight the distractions:
- Confess how you’ve seen prayer in the past or even how you see it now.
- Remember your creative creator and think of how you can reflect that back to God.
- Ask the Lord if any prayers have become mindless for you.
- Sit in silence and acknowledge the Holy Spirit.
VERSES:
This prayer has been adapted from my book Springboard Prayers. If you were encouraged by it and would like 124 other prayers to read when you don’t have the words, grab a copy at valmariepaper.com.
