Thank you for being faithful listeners of Defined over the years. This podcast is no longer being produced. Please search out Southland's new womens podcast "Tell Me More" at southland.church/podcasts, on youtube, or wherever you find your podcasts.

Welcome to the launch of our new Southland women’s podcast, Tell Me More, where you’ll see real women having real conversations about navigating life as Christian women. In this episode, you’ll meet our hosts – Jess, Lydia, and Sarah – to learn a little bit more about who they are and laugh a lot along the way.

In this bonus episode, Kate Grounds and Kelly Hill interview Sissy Goff, the Director of Child and Adolescent Counseling at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville and the author of over 12 books. They have an in-depth discussion about what it practically looks like to come alongside pre-teen and teen girls as they live out their calling in an increasingly complex culture. If you have a pre-teen or teenage girl in your life, then this episode is for you!

In this wrap up episode, we chat with Deanna Lynn about how she’s found a calling and purpose after escaping the sex industry.

Deanna has a masters degree in Spiritual Formation from Asbury Theological Seminary, is the author of two books, and recently became a mom to twin girls.

Many young adults hold onto the false notion that you "figure out" your secondary calling in your 20s and then statically live it out the rest of your life. In reality, our secondary callings are not always this linear and clear-cut. In this episode, we chat with Rachel Webb and Stefanie Head about how their sense of calling and purpose has shifted since entering their second half of life. 

As women, we are told many mixed messages about our bodies starting at a very young age. Due to these confusing and conflicting narratives, many of us have a hard time grasping God’s vision for this area of our lives. This can leave us unsure what our faith has to say about cosmetic surgery, postpartum bodies, diet culture and more. In this podcast episode, we have an in-depth conversation with Jess Connolly about her recently published book, Breaking Free from Body Shame: Dare to Reclaim what God has Named Good.

In this wrap up episode, Kate and Michelle reflect on this season of the defined podcast and share how it personally impacted them. They also identify and discuss themes woven throughout this season and end with some encouragement and next steps. 

In this episode we sit down with Southland staff member Tiffany Jacobs as she shares what it looked like to worship God in the midst of miracles, miscarriages, and more.

If you have experienced a miscarriage, this episode will remind you that you are not alone in your suffering, and there is hope to be found in the grieving. If you've never personally experienced a miscarriage, this episode will equip you to better walk alongside and empathize with the women in your life who are grieving this type of loss.
