In this two-episode special, we want to give you a glimpse into a volunteer's perspective of leading high school and middle school girls! We ask questions like "why high school girls?" "What's your favorite part of volunteering?" "What's the most challenging part?" "What have you learned so far?"

Whether you are a volunteer, just thinking about volunteering, or you're leading a group of high school volunteers, there is no doubt that you will walk away more passionate about reaching 9th-12th grade girls. Let's learn from our volunteers, lean into what God is asking of us, and walk faithfully in obedience. It is worth it!

You made it through the crazy summer. You might have snuck in a vacation or found yourself on a beach for at least for a few days. But fall is here! You're now getting to embrace all of the packed schedules, weekly programs, and lack of rest. It's so easy to "push through" and wait for that next weekend off, but don't let yourself keep going without first asking, "How am I actually doing?"

Aunt P is back to help us talk about how to take a pulse on our spiritual, mental, and emotional wellbeing. We don't want you to keep yourself so busy that you end up running yourself into the ground. So, how do you know if you're actually okay? Well, we hope you'll listen to this conversation and find out practical ways to answer that question.

If you haven't listened to our first Aunt P episode in Season 1, go back to it! It's episode 9 title "How to Seek and Refer Counseling." This is a resource to have in your back pocket not just for your teens, but for yourself.

Whether you're teaching to 5 girls in a circle or 500 students from a stage, this episode is for you! Amanda and Corinne are giving you a glimpse into how they prepare to teach, what they've learned over the years, and how they prepare their hearts when they're just not feeling it. The hope is that you'll be challenged to not just grow in how you teach but how you get ready to teach.


If you're on ministry staff, you're likely planning your training schedule for this next year! There are two events that we'd encourage you to mark your calendars for:

Lifeway Women's Forum - November 7-8, 2024, Hendersonville TN (for any woman leading in ministry, not just staff!)

Experience - Coming May 2025, Nashville TN

Have you ever felt like you're the wrong girl for the job? Like everyone else around the table deserves to be there except you? Like you are several years into this and still feel like you're making it up as you go?

Well, what if we told you that even a VP at Lifeway has felt the same way? Becky Loyd is the Vice President of Go-To-Market and Women Leadership Development at Lifeway. She has been a mentor of Amanda over the past few years, and there is no doubt she was the perfect person to have this conversation with. You're going to love her and this conversation is going to help fight off any imposter syndrome you might be feeling!

If you're anything like us, change can be fun, scary, overwhelming. All the things! The reality is that we will all walk through various seasons of life that come with both new and hard changes. It is up to us on how we will trust God with those changes and walk faithfully in the path He has laid before us.

We hope you enjoy hearing about our own seasons of change right now! As we are learning and growing, we hope it will encourage you to hold fast to what you know is true.

Listen, we don't want you to do this season alone! Check out Youth Ministry Booster to get signed up and part of a community of women who want to champion and encourage your calling!

Whether you're 13, 23, or 83, we will all experience homesickness. Home may not be far at all, and home may be your favorite place on earth. Yet, we will still find ourselves often longing to belong and be loved. Caroline Saunders gives us just a sneak peak of her brand new study, Come Home. In this study, she explains the story of home throughout Scripture and why we find ourselves homesick for something more today. 

Caroline Saunders is a favorite around here! Make sure to follow her @writercaroline on Instagram.

Fall is coming! But are you ready?

No, we're not asking if you have volunteers ready, if your calendar feels managed, or if the curriculum is ready to go. We are asking if YOU are ready for fall.

Our hope is that this conversation will give you simple questions to ask yourself before the next season of ministry begins. Please know we are cheering you on and praying that God will continue to work in and through you.

We are so glad you found us on this podcast. Did you know Lifeway has other great podcasts available to you, as well? Here are some that we think you'll love:

It's time for another crossover episode with one of our favorite Lifeway podcasts — The Glass House with Ben and Lynley Mandrell! If you don't remember, Ben and Lynley were our first guests on the His Glory, Her Good podcast. To say we are big fans of them and their hearts would be an understatement. 

On today's show Nicole Zasowski describes to us what happens when we are operating in our pain cycle, how we can regulate our emotions, and why the simplest of questions can push us over the edge. A very important topic to address while in ministry!

Nicole is a marriage and family therapist, along with being a full time mom and wife. Actually, one of our most popular episodes is when we featured Nicole's book, What If It's Wonderful, so we have a feeling you are going to love this conversation!

Over the next few weeks, we wanted to introduce some of our other favorite Lifeway podcasts! This week is a crossover episode from the Lifeway Women's podcast, MARKED. This is a podcast for women who are marked by a hunger for God’s Word, a longing to impact culture, and a desire to discover and live out God’s calling in their lives.

This episode features a Lifeway Women and Lifeway Girls author, Melissa Spoelstra, as she shares details about her new Bible study on the Gospel of John! She discusses the Gospel of John's unique aspects and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the writing and filming process of the Bible study. Reflecting on how the Gospel of John has personally marked her, she encourages us all to experience the peace and hope that Jesus offers.
