This summer on Girl Talk Podcast, we're getting some much needed rest! We're trying to practice what we preach (prioritizing Jesus, family and trusting the Lord).  Don't worry, we will be back this fall - better than ever!

"The enemy loves isolation because it's easier to fight someone who's standing alone."

Ever found yourself thinking, “I’m fine. I just don’t need people?" Maybe after being hurt, disappointed, or just plain exhausted by people.

This week, the ladies are talking about community - the good, the hard, and the messy. From church hurt and broken trust to learning how to let people back in, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about why isolating ourselves isn't as protective as it feels.

Because while people can absolutely hurt us, they can also encourage us, challenge us, pray for us, and help carry us through seasons we were never meant to walk through alone.

Your relationship status may describe your season, but it does not define your identity.

Have you ever felt like life won't really start until you get married?

Whether you're single, dating, divorced, widowed, or married, this conversation is a reminder that your purpose isn't waiting on a relationship. God has purpose for you right here, right now.

In this episode, the ladies have an honest conversation about singleness, marriage, healing, expectations, and what it means to find your identity in Christ instead of your relationship status.

Carol shares her personal journey through divorce, single parenting, and 17 years of discovering God's faithfulness in unexpected places. Together, they talk about the pressure that culture places on women to follow a certain timeline and why marriage was never meant to complete us.

Have you ever felt torn between what God says and what the world says? Between what you know is true and what you actually trust?

This week on Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia dive into what it means to be double-minded. From relying on personality tests and self-help culture to faith, trust, and spiritual maturity, the girls talk about how easy it is to look for answers everywhere except the One who created us.

They talk about the difference between changing our behavior and allowing God to transform our hearts, why a relationship with Jesus matters more than checking spiritual boxes, and how God gently calls us back when we drift.

If you've ever struggled with doubt, felt spiritually unsteady, or wondered if there's more to following Jesus than simply doing all the right things, crank this one up. Inspired by James 1, the episode reminds us that God isn't asking for perfection, He's inviting us into relationship.

Let's be honest, most days we're just trying to keep up.

We're juggling work, family, schedules, laundry, text messages, bills, and whatever surprise the day decides to throw at us. So how do we live fully in today while remembering that this world isn't our forever home?

This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about what it means to keep eternity in mind without checking out of the life God has given us right now. They share personal stories about loss, heaven, hope, and why remembering what's ahead can actually help us live with more purpose today.

Homesick for Heaven? Us too.

REMEMBER...

There’s a lot happening in the world right now… and if we’re honest, it can feel overwhelming. The headlines, the fear, the constant noise, the “breaking news” every five minutes—it’s enough to leave anybody anxious and emotionally exhausted.

In this episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia have a real conversation about how to live faithfully in a fear-filled world without completely spiraling. They talk about “news diets,” anxiety, end-times conversations, social media overload, and how to stay informed without losing your peace.

This isn’t about ignoring what’s happening around us. It’s about learning how to filter everything through the truth of God’s Word instead of fear.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, doom-scrolling late at night, or feeling emotionally drained by everything happening in culture right now… this conversation is for you.

We live in a world that tells us to grab more, keep more, and chase whatever feels good. But Jesus calls us to something different: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him.

In this episode, the girls talk honestly about how hard that is, how easy it is to justify the things we want, and how surrender is often less about punishment and more about space for God to do something better in us. They also talk about the difference between doing for Jesus and being with Jesus, and why silence, solitude, and open hands can become some of the sweetest gifts in a believer’s life.

What are you really seeking?

In this special Girl Talk LIVE devotional message, Kelly shares an honest and powerful message about the difference between seeking the gifts of God… and seeking God Himself. From health and security to peace, joy, and control, we all run after something hoping it will satisfy us. But what happens when the things we want most don’t come? Is Jesus still enough?

Through Scripture, personal stories, and a heartfelt challenge toward surrender, this devotional invites us to stop chasing temporary things and start seeking first the Kingdom of God.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, striving for control, or wondering if God still sees you in the middle of disappointment, He does and this message is for you

“We will set record time running to everything… except God.”

What are you really seeking?

In this special live episode of the Girl Talk Podcast, recorded in front of a room full of women in Marion, NC, Carol, Tricia, and Kelly unpack the tension between what we think we want and what our hearts are actually chasing.

From unmet expectations and control issues to deep grief and everyday coping habits (hello, nachos and Netflix), this conversation gets honest about the places we run instead of running to God.

They unpack how hard seasons often shape us the most, why we struggle to trust God even after He’s been faithful, and how true freedom begins when we let Him reveal what we’re really seeking.

This episode is a reminder that God’s promise isn’t a perfect life, it’s His presence in the middle of it.

“The thing you don’t want to talk about might be the very thing God wants to heal.”

Have you ever been asked a question that immediately made you uncomfortable: “What do you not want me to ask you about?”

This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia step into that space; the areas we tend to avoid, the choices we justify, and the subtle ways we sometimes (a lot of times) place other things ahead of God. From hidden struggles to more “acceptable” distractions, this conversation uncovers the idols we may not even realize we’re holding onto, even when God keeps bringing them to light.

The truth is, He’s not exposing those places to shame us, He’s inviting us into something deeper with Him.

If you’ve been sensing that quiet nudge, or even a strong conviction that something in your life needs attention, this episode offers a safe place to begin.
