“We moved forward with the little steps that we knew.” — Kim Kasl. Today, Penny interviews Kim Kasl, co-founder and executive director of Knitted Together. Years ago, God gave Kim a vision of a house with a wraparound porch, filled with women and their babies. From that vision, Knitted Together was born to serve pregnant women who feel abortion is their only option. Kim shares how God brought that vision to life as they faithfully took one step at a time.

Being mentored requires more than simply having someone willing to invest in us. We have a part to play, too. Are we teachable and willing to be vulnerable? Are we open to instruction, growing stronger in our faith and relationships, and ready to serve others with what we’ve received? Mentoring bears fruit when we’re willing to receive, grow, and give away. For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com

We get to partner with God and invest in His beloved people. In this episode of the Flourish podcast, Penny talks about MENTORING. Mentoring is more than giving advice; it’s sharing what we’ve learned while also modeling it with our lives. It means being present, listening well, building trust, and intentionally pursuing relationship. So many people need a voice of wisdom and someone in their corner to champion them. We can help fill that gap. For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com

We all need close friendships—people we can share our deepest thoughts, struggles, and joys with. Whether in leadership or everyday life, good friendships don’t just happen; they require us to be open, intentional, and willing to pursue others. How can we become the kind of friend we hope to have? For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com

God wants us all to be leaders. In this episode of the Flourish podcast we are pulling one from the archives: WHAT DOES LEADERSHIP LOOK LIKE? We are the people that God put on this earth to look like Him, to act like Him, to leave behind His fragrance. That’s leadership. What fragrance are you leaving behind when you interact with someone?

God does intervene in the lives of His children. Today, Penny shares God Will Take Care of You, using a recent testimony from her own life to show how she practically walked out this belief. We can trust that we have a Father who is always looking out for us and whose mercy often spares us from what we deserve.

We can't honor people at the expense of excusing what God calls us to judge. In light of recent public falls of ministers who led without accountability, Penny challenges us to examine how comfortable we've become with validating sin and how quick we are to forget Jesus' call to repentance. Rather than measuring by the world's shifting standards, let's hold ourselves and one another to the unchanging standard of God's Word.

“If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” -Ronald Reagan. Today, Penny concludes the conversation on Our Genuine Heritage as a Nation. God's hand has been on this nation in a marvelous way. But as we forget the role God has played in our history and remove Him from our national life, we begin to lose our way. Looking back at our heritage isn't about living in the past. It's about remembering the One who has faithfully guided us and returning to Him once again.

“Increase my faith in the sweet promises of the Gospel.” -George Washington. Today, Penny continues the conversation on Our Genuine Heritage as a Nation. As we examine our nation’s beginnings, we find God and Christianity intermingled with many who served in government during the formative days of our country. Although founded by fallible men, they understood their need for the Lord and His divine wisdom. We have a unique heritage, and therefore a unique responsibility.

“The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future.” Today, Penny Tucci begins a conversation on Our Genuine Heritage as a Nation. It is important to understand what has gone before us. So much of the foundation of our Christian faith has been erased from our nation’s history, making it all the more important to rediscover the people, events, and convictions that helped shape our nation.

Today, guest podcasters Dawn and Pastor Tim Quintrell continue their conversation on Five Things That Will Put Your Marriage in a Ditch. In this episode, they unpack the final three areas that can quietly damage a marriage: keeping a scorecard of unforgiveness, failing to function in our God-given roles, and neglecting intentional connection. Healthy marriages require forgiveness, a willingness to honor God’s design for each spouse, and meaningful communication that goes beyond correction to encouragement. Strong marriages don’t happen by accident. They are built through intentionality, grace, and a commitment to grow together.

Everyone has struggles in marriage. What matters is how you confront and work through those struggles. Today, guest podcasters Dawn and Pastor Tim Quintrell join us for a practical and honest conversation on Five Things That Will Put Your Marriage in a Ditch. In this episode, they unpack the first two areas that can quietly pull a marriage off course: when our relationship with God is no longer our first priority and when our spouse begins to take second place to the demands of life. Healthy marriages are built when we stay rooted in the Lord and intentionally return to making one another a priority.

We all have frailties in our lives. Often, we ignore them because we’re too busy, think they’re too small, too painful, or because pride, shame, and fear keep us from facing them. But we must be willing to place ourselves before the Lord to be healed. When we do, we become those oaks of righteousness that bring glory to God and restoration to others.

"I will fight and not let discouragement win the day." -Penny Tucci. All of us have to fight for what we know—what God has shown and taught us. He has been beyond faithful. When discouraging thoughts swirl, will you choose the Truth you know over what you feel? For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com

God defines His glory as His goodness. When we lose sight of Him according to His own description—His lovingkindness, mercy, and compassion—we do so to our own detriment. But when we forget, we can look up, and be reminded of His smile over us and His immense goodness. For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com
