186. Life, Love, and Everything In Between with Bill Lefebure

by | Feb 25, 2025 | Podcast

Could you use some encouragement regarding life, relationships, or showing up for others? I believe you’ve come to the right place today. It’s our guest episode for the month! It’s special because it’s the first one with a male guest and the first one with my guest recording here in my office next to me. Yes, my guest this month is my husband, Bill Lefebure. We discuss life, love, our imperfect marriage, and how we keep showing up for another other. We offer encouragement to young couples and couples our age, and Bill even shares his perspective on his bicycle accident that I highlighted in Chapter 1 of my book Right Now Matters. I never tire of hearing how God saved his life that day. I pray you are inspired through our words, and I’m grateful I get to share with you the one I call my love of a lifetime.

Life, Love, and Everything in Between with Bill Lefebure

How are you showing up for your spouse or the people in your life?

The truth that I continue to be reminded of is relationships take time and effort, and somedays it’s not so easy to keep our relationships growing and strong. If you’re in a relationship that’s struggling today, I encourage you to invite God into it. This is something Bill and I have learned over the years which has made not only our marriage stronger, but our relationships with others, too. God equips us to continue to show up for others when we don’t feel we can on our own.

Life is one big tandem adventure with God, isn’t it? When we let Him drive, our journey is much more smooth than when we try to take control. And who is on your team? This is mind shift of being on a “team” has transformed the way I think about relationships. Team Lefebure isn’t just us out there on our tandem bicycle, it’s also us in daily life.

Stop Waiting. Start Living the Life God Designed for You. The life you long for is closer than you think.

Are you longing for a more full, more free, more meaningful life — but feel like you’re stuck waiting for the “right” moment to begin? Do you feel as if the life you’ve always desired to live is beyond your reach?

It’s time to stop wishing and waiting and start living the life God has already designed for you.

Join us for The Life You Long For. This special women’s event is filled with encouragement, inspiration, and practical and biblical truth. Together, we’ll explore how to embrace the abundant life God offers — right here, right now — even if life doesn’t look exactly how we expected or how we envisioned life would be.

Come discover how to:

+Overcome what holds you back from living fully today
+Find joy and contentment in every season
+Step boldly into the purpose God has for you
+Live with renewed faith, courage, and hope

Bring a friend and join us for a night of connection, truth, and new beginnings! We’ll enjoy pizza from Roscoe’s Pizza, too.

Sometimes we wish we were planted elsewhere to bloom. Or that we were designed differently--maybe like someone else.🌱

But God created us magnificently and has us right where He wants us.📍

He knows what's best for you and me, and in what conditions and situations we'll grow to our fullest potential. 🌞

He won't give us anything less than His best. 👍

Bloom right where you are, friend. Listen to episode 197 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast for more. 🌸

I used to think this about myself until I realized God didn't see me as a mess, He saw me as His daughter.

He sees you this way, too.

Follow and share with a friend who also needs this reminder.

Sometimes, I can get so caught up in my own stuff that I forget others around me.

You, too?

But taking a quick moment to lift our eyes and offer a smile to another may just change their day.

Let's give away our smiles freely today. 😁
