Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode reminds us that God’s call on our lives is not dependent on what we think we can or cannot do, but on the One who equips and sends us. In Jeremiah 1:4–8, we see God reassuring Jeremiah—young and unsure—that he was known, set apart, and appointed before he was even formed in the womb. That same truth covers you too, Sis: you are chosen, set in this time and place, and fully equipped for God’s purpose.

We also continue with Day 2 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, where we unpack the “mirror reflex.” Too often we look to people, possessions, or positions to reflect back our worth—and when they fail, our hearts spiral. But scripture reminds us that idols cannot give life, and when we let them shape our identity, we end up empty. The invitation today is to release false mirrors and fix our gaze on the God who made us in His image.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by expectations or distracted by how others see you, this conversation is for you. Take a pause, do a soul check, and let God reframe your reflection in Him.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.
