We’ve all got at least one thing to gripe about, don’t we? Whether it’s traffic, a messy house, relationship struggles, financial strain, technology not working, prolonged physical pain or something else entirely, it can be so easy to fall into the habit of complaining.

Join the girls as they welcome Megan Rossman back to the set to talk out real-life frustrations they’re each going through and discover the key to acknowledging your complaints without letting them run your mind or your life.

This episode is so much more than your typical holiday special.

Today, we don’t just reflect on the beauty of the Christmas story.

Today, we recall some of our hardest moments, and remember what it means to have Emmanuel—God with us—in the middle of circumstances that seem way too big to handle.

AND today, we’re going to talk through what it looks like to ask God our hardest questions, let Him lead our lives, and live in a way that tells the good news of His love.

Merry Christmas, friends!

XOXOXO,

Ginger + Jai + Erin

Ever heard the song “Shackles” by Mary, Mary? It’s been an anchor to people all over the world for over two decades, so if you haven’t, look it up and enjoy the throwback to 2000!

Like our lives, the story behind this anthem is full of ups and downs, and the message is still deeply applicable today. Join Ginger, Jai and Erin as they welcome Erica Campbell from Mary, Mary and unpack practical ways to fight back when the enemy attacks, praise God in hard times, and how to let His strength carry you through until every shackle is broken. 

On this special Giving Tuesday episode, Ginger, Jai and Erin welcome their friend Rachael Athearn back to the podcast to give you a glimpse of how the Short Creek Dream Center (located at the former home of Warren Jeffs, the FLDS polygamist cult leader) has done a complete 180 to become a place of hope. In a house where women and children used to be raped, manipulated and stalked day and night, they’re now rediscovering their identity, healing from the past, and learning to laugh again… all because of the love and support of someone a lot like you.

Anxiety, depression, and even plain heaviness can hit anyone – even at those times when everyone else seems so happy. Know that you aren’t alone, and that you can fight back. Today’s episode of the Talk It Out podcast is exactly what you need for the fight. We focus on some special moments from previous episodes where our friends shared really practical advice on battling depression and healing from past hurts. Get some encouragement from Joyce and special guests Michelle Williams, Lisa Harper and Dr. Henry Cloud and discover how to find indescribable hope in Christ.

Who are you fighting to forgive? Whether it’s an ex, someone you used to call friend, a parent, or even a person you’re doing life with, forgiveness is a hard thing—but thank God He’s willing to help us through the process! Listen as Joyce joins the girls and they unpack the steps you can take every day to let go of offenses, respond with grace to frustrating situations, and even forgive the people who’ve caused some of your deepest wounds. As you work with Him through the process, He’ll meet you right where you are and heal you in every place where you’ve been broken.

How often do you feel like you have to hide how you actually feel, or who you truly are? If your answer is “too much”, then today is the day to start flipping that script!

In this special episode from our 2021 virtual Love Life Women’s Conference, the girls ask Joyce and Boundaries author Dr. Henry Cloud incredibly real, specific questions about mental + emotional wellness, and boy do they deliver! Get ready to be equipped and challenged to become your authentic, whole self, and to help those around you do the same.

Let’s get real, y’all.

We’re back for Part 2—with Joyce in the studio!—to unpack even more practical tips to help you level up in your life. Don’t miss this one, beautiful!

What’s your favorite fruit? 

No, we’re not talking about melons or apples or grapes or bananas or… well, you get where this is going. 

What we ARE talking about is the fruit of the Spirit—otherwise known as love + joy + peace + patience + kindness + goodness + faithfulness + gentleness + self-control—and practical ways we can cultivate each one in our lives.

Also, tune in to find out what a pufferfish and an Italian dressing bottle have to do with the fruit of the Spirit, and don’t forget that Joyce is joining us in 2 weeks for part 2, so don’t miss out!!

Y’ALL. Guess who’s joining us today.

You might know her as one of the most honest, hilarious storytellers and Bible scholars teaching today…

Or maybe as the one who was brave enough to become a mom at age 50 and adopt her beautiful daughter from another country…

Or maybe you haven’t met her yet at all—in which case, you’re in for an absolute blast.

Wondering who it is? Drumroll please…the dynamic Lisa Harper!!

Tune in as Lisa + the girls talk through some of the deepest longings in our hearts—from marriage to careers to momming—and how to hold on to hope when those desires don’t fit others’ expectations or our timetable.

It’s time to let your heart beat again.
