Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt exhausted trying to be the version of yourself everyone else expects you to be?

In today’s devotional Bible study, we slow down in John 1:19–28 and reflect on the freedom that comes from knowing who you are—and who you are not—in Christ. Through the testimony of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that our identity is not rooted in titles, labels, or expectations, but in what God’s Word says about us.

This episode includes:

If you’ve been carrying pressure, comparison, or expectations God never placed on you, this episode is for you.

Hey Sis 💛

In this episode, we talk about testimony—not as something you have to perform or package perfectly, but as the simple, honest story of what God has done and how He has carried you. I also share a personal testimony from a season that felt uncertain, and how the Holy Spirit was present, protective, and faithful every step of the way.

We’ll reset your faith rhythm with grace, clarity, and practical tools—without pressure.

Hey Sis 💛

As we begin a new year together, many believers find themselves longing for closeness with God—not more pressure, routines, or striving… just relationship.

In this opening episode of our January study through the Gospel of John, we begin gently. If your faith feels a little off right now, this is a safe place to land.

Together, we return to the foundation found in John 1, where we’re reminded of who Jesus is—the Word, the Light, and the One who comes near before we ever get it right. This episode isn’t about fixing your faith. It’s about beginning again with grace.

• A biblical affirmation from John 1

Whether you’re feeling spiritually refreshed or quietly worn down, you’re welcome here. We’ll be walking through John together—one chapter at a time—rebuilding a grace-filled walk with God.

🎧 New episodes Monday–Friday

I’d love for you to join me January 20–21 for the Faith Restored Workshop — a free, two-day experience designed to help you reset your rhythm with God and step into a consistent walk with Him again.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a tender reminder that even the encourager needs encouragement, and even the teacher needs time to rest and be poured into. I’m sharing a personal update as I step into a summer sabbatical for the rest of July—a season of soul retreat, stillness, and deeper intimacy with the Lord.

We’re also introducing a simple yet powerful tool for your quiet time: the SOAP method. As we walk through the Book of Proverbs together this month, this practice will help you reflect more deeply on Scripture—whether you’re journaling, walking, or listening on the go.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to stay spiritually grounded during busy seasons or breaks from routine, this episode will show you a grace-filled way forward. You’ll also receive a Biblical affirmation to carry in your heart this month, plus a special journal prompt to guide your time with God. Just because the podcast is pausing doesn’t mean the growth has to stop.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode begins with a reminder that God’s commands are not restrictions meant to hold us back, but loving protections that keep us safe and draw us closer to Him.

We continue our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 with a recap, remembering that our trials are temporary, but His eternal glory outweighs them all, and we’re called to fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. 

Finally, we close the week with Christine Caine’s You’re Not Finished Yet, focusing on the importance of running our own race with endurance and keeping our eyes on Jesus. 

If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, distraction, or comparison, this episode will remind you to return to your “why,” rest in God’s promises, and walk forward in obedience with renewed courage and hope.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a reminder that even in the middle of trials and uncertainty, God is renewing us day by day and planting seeds of His purpose deep within our hearts. We continue our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, reflecting on what it means to fix our eyes on what is unseen rather than the temporary troubles of life. It’s a call to remember that peace is not only possible, but available when we rest in the One who is in control.

We also dive into Day 3 of Christine Caine’s devotional, You’re Not Finished Yet, where she shares the powerful image of a pine seed—tiny, carried by the wind, yet holding the fullness of a tree inside. Just like that seed, God has placed dreams and purposes within us that only grow as we nurture them with faith, prayer, and His Word. The potential is there, but it’s up to us to tend the soil of our hearts and say yes to His leading.

If you’ve been questioning your purpose or wondering how to step into the future God has for you, this episode will encourage you to trust His timing, nurture the seed He’s already planted, and keep walking in faith—because the harvest is as sure as seedtime.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a steady reminder that waiting on God is never wasted—and that even in seasons of struggle, we are not without peace or victory in Christ. We begin with a timely encouragement from Charles Stanley, reflecting on his message God’s Perfect Timing, where we’re reminded that if we’re willing to wait, we’re positioning ourselves to receive God’s best. From there, we anchor ourselves in our weekly biblical affirmation from John 16:33, holding fast to the truth that though we will face trouble in this world, we can live in peace because Jesus has already overcome it.

We then move into our weekly scripture recap from Luke 6:47–49, revisiting what it means to build our lives on a firm foundation—not just by hearing God’s Word, but by putting it into practice daily. Finally, we close out our devotional study Stop the Spiral of Negative Thought Patterns by Jennie Allen, sitting with a powerful reflection on how the enemy works through distraction, identity attacks, and self-focus—and how freedom comes when we intentionally set our minds on Christ. If you’ve been wrestling with negative thought spirals, spiritual weariness, or the feeling that you’re fighting battles in your mind alone, this episode will encourage you to remember the truth: Jesus has already won, and through Him, you have power, peace, and victory.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a special Thankful Thursday reminder of how precious life truly is. September 11th shaped my perspective on gratitude, family, and friendships in a way I’ll never forget. It’s a call to pause, to appreciate the gift of each day, and to live with a heart of thankfulness.

Together we’ll reflect on Jeremiah 1:7–8, anchoring in the truth that God has chosen and equipped us, and that we don’t have to live in fear—because He is with us. We’ll also continue into Day 4 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, where we’re reminded to shift our gaze from ourselves to the One who truly sustains us.

If you’ve been wrestling with fear, insecurity, or the weight of the world, this episode will lift your heart back to the joy and freedom we have in Jesus.
