Between Sisters with Sisterhood.River

Ellamae, Aria, and Krystal sat down for a youth takeover podcast so we can hear from the next generation of Sisterhood. They talk all things from Senioritis, college - what their excited about and a bit fearful of - retreat, camp, and life in general from a teen's perspective. You are going to love this!

Get a behind-the-scenes look at this year's Sisterhood Retreat! 

Katie, Lindsay, Patti, and Toni sit down to talk about why stepping away from the busyness of everyday life creates space to encounter God, build meaningful friendships, and experience true refreshment.

Whether you're coming for the first time or returning for another unforgettable weekend, we'll walk you through what to expect—from shopping and ice cream to worship, meaningful conversations, and finding your people. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at a brand-new Friday afternoon experience designed to help you relax, recharge, and have a little fun.

If you've been wondering what Sisterhood Retreat is all about, this episode is for you. We can't wait to see you there!

Today Toni, Lindsay, Krystal and Mom Lagaras (aka Barb) sat down to chat about real life using a game called Between Sundays. It was an unscripted Q&A, where we talked about all the things, from comfort foods, mastering life skills and grocery bagging to soul care, real rest and celebrating aging while not wanting to lose our youth. We hope this lightens your day, brings you joy, and ministers life to your soul.

Brooke, Andrea, and Toni are chatting about everyone's favorite topic - contentment. What is it? Why does it seem elusive? What causes discontentment and what is the cure? We pray this episode helps you live content - with peace and joy that overflow.

There are some conversations that are easy and some that are messy, and this month we have a messy one for you! Toni and Sue gather us around the topic of What to do When Life is Messy. Whether the messes are self-inflicted, other's-inflicted, or life-inflicted, they are no fun. And they always require attention. Join us as we talk about how we can respond to these messes and help our sisters who are going through them too.

We had such a good time at our Soup & Vision night in January to kick off the New Year. Toni shared a word she had on her heart for Sisterhood for 2026 and we wanted to share it here on Between Sisters Podcast too. We don't just need a New Year's Resolution. We need a New Year's Revelation. What does God call us? Check it out.

Lori Wiebe joined Toni for the podcast this week. It's always fun to catch up with Lori, and today we chatted about Christmas. Christmases Past. Christmas Present. What we wished someone would have told us a long time ago but we're thankful to be realizing it now.

Join us for a some laughter mixed with lots of wisdom as we talk about making it through the Christmas season with joy, peace, and our sanity intact. 

It's that time of year again! Decorating, fa-la-la-ing, Christmas traditions and all the things. Today Toni, Tammy, Sue and Alli talk about traditions, recipes and how to navigate changing traditions when the seasons change with or without your permission. 

I laughed and cried and laughed again. Grab a hot cup of tea and join us for this episode to kick off the Christmas season.

This is a hot topic these days, and not just in the church. Topics we disagree on can range from light to heavy. From whether or not you make your kids make their beds to homeschooling vs. public schooling, SAHM vs. working moms, and trick-or-treat and santa. 

We are joined this week by Pastor Christine, Krystal, Alli, and Toni in this timely conversation delving into how to have holy disagreements without judging, what does a healthy conversation look like, and finding out it's okay to have a conversation and not land in the same place when it's all over. 

How do I disagree with my neighbor and still love them? Check it out.

Between Sisters Retreat Edition continues with Pastor Toni during our final session. The title of this session was Don’t Let Anything Take What God has Awakened. It was a powerful word about guarding the deposits God made in us over the weekend and staying awake. Staying alert. And recognizing the lies of the enemy when he comes so we can walk confidently in what God has created us for. 

The retreat is over. God has come and awakened things in us, just as we asked Him to. Now we get to walk in it. What did He awaken in you? Hold onto it.
