Girlfriends x Grace

What happens when your cup is empty—but you still feel like you’re supposed to keep pouring into everyone else? ❤️‍🩹

After taking a a long break, Chloe returns this week with an honest and brief episode about chronic illness, faith, friendship, social media, and learning when it’s okay to step back.

In this episode, we’ll explore the pressure Christians can feel to always show up, the difference between the friendships that fill your cup and the ones that serve a different purpose, struggling with God while still loving Him deeply, and why taking care of yourself doesn’t make you a bad Christian or a bad friend!!!

Chloe also shares an exciting announcement: what she’s been writing during her time away—a raw, unconventional Christian devotional for the taboo seasons of life—the moments of chronic illness, grief, anxiety, depression, unanswered prayers, and spiritual struggle that we don't always know how to talk about.

Sometimes, giving yourself grace is exactly what you need. As always, leave judgment at the door and come as you are.♥️

After a two-month break, Girlfriends x Grace returns with a deeply personal episode about purpose, identity, and what it feels like to feel called to more in a world built around routine. Chloe shares her author origin story—how she followed traditional career paths that interested her intellectually but never fulfilled her soul, and how chronic illness unexpectedly became the turning point that led her back to writing.

This episode is less scripture focused and explores the tension between societal expectations and God-given creativity, the courage it takes to step outside comfort zones, and the realization that sometimes your purpose has been quietly present your whole life. It’s an honest conversation about choosing passion over predictability and finally giving yourself permission to become who you always were. As always, leave judgment at the door and come as you are. ♥️

Biblical > Political.

Faith, politics, and choosing empathy over empire. In this episode, your host, Chloe confronts the tension between politics and faith with a simple challenge: let’s get biblical. Christianity was never meant to be measured by party lines or ballots, but by the fruit of the spirit and how we treat people.

Today we will talk about discernment, false doctrine, and how the gospel can become distorted when politics replace compassion or when ideology outweighs human dignity.

Suffering is not partisan. Compassion is not a social construct. Injustice—wherever it happens, to whomever it happens—matters because every person is made by the same Creator.

This conversation centers on empathy for innocent lives, a refusal to dehumanize, and a commitment to being more like Jesus. At the end of the day, we all bleed red. And when history looks back, we should be found on the side of love, truth, and Christ. As always, leave judgment at the door and come as you are. ♥️🍓

TW: mention of death and guns.

In this episode, Chloe gets realllllllll about dating. Dating in your twenties can already feel impossible, let alone when you’re searching for a man who actually bears fruit. 🍓 The dating pool is small, and when you start narrowing it down by your values, morals, and faith, it can feel like there’s barely anyone left. But sis, you don’t need a lot of options — you just need the right one.

Chloe opens up about the shared struggle of finding a godly man while learning how to become a godly woman in the process. She gets honest about the times she settled for potential, ignored red flags wrapped in “Christian” packaging.

Pro Tip: Just because a man talks the talk doesn’t mean he walks the walk with God. A bible verse in his bio doesn’t make him holy, and a cross tattoo doesn’t make him Christ-like.

This episode dives deep into discernment, deception, and what it truly means to date with divine standards — because we’re not looking for a man who can quote Scripture; we’re looking for one who lives it. As always, leave judgment at the door and come as you are. ♥️

This week, join your host Chloe for a powerful and faith-filled conversation about spiritual muscle. What does it truly mean to find strength? Should you expect God to make you strong?

Strength isn’t something God hands us on a silver platter—it’s something He builds within us through challenge, discipline, and faith. Chloe shares why God isn’t a genie and prayer isn’t a magic wish-granting formula, but a commitment.

If you’ve been asking God for strength, this episode will remind you that the fire you’re facing may be the very thing shaping your faith.

Sometimes the fire isn’t meant to destroy you—it’s meant to define you. 🔥 As always, leave judgment at the door and come as you are. ♥️🍓
