Episode 08 | Shut The Hell Up

Get the Podcast Companion

Not every thought deserves your full attention.

This week, Joyce, Judy, and Amie are talking about the things we tell ourselves—the thoughts that feel so real, the lies we’ve repeated so many times they start sounding like truth, and what it actually means to renew your mind.

The conversation gets personal as the girls talk about depression, faith, identity, negative self-talk, the pressure to “just pray harder,” and learning to name what you’re feeling without letting that feeling tell you who you are.

You don’t have to pretend the hard thing isn’t real. But you also don’t have to hand it the microphone.

Episode 07 | Can You Say Horticulturalist?

You can get the study guide for this episode:

Podcast Companion

The fruit was never for the tree.

That was pretty much all Joyce, Judy, and Amie had when they hit record.

No outline. No carefully planned talking points. Just one thought about a fruit tree—and before long, they were talking about pruning, grafting, roots, relationships, resilience, and purpose.

What if nature has been telling us something about the nature of God all along?

Apparently, there’s a whole lot of Gospel happening in the garden.

SCRIPTURE MENTIONED 

• Romans 12:2

• Matthew 7:16

• Romans 1:20

• John 15:2

33:00 Trusting the Master Gardener

JOIN THE CONVERSATION 

Where have you seen the Gospel in the garden? Maybe God is growing something in you, pruning something away, deepening your roots, or using fruit from your story to nourish someone else.

Tell the girls what this conversation stirred up in you—and share the episode with a girlfriend who might need the reminder that even the pruning has a purpose.

Episode 06 | If I Had My Way

If you had your way, would you skip the hard stuff—even if it meant missing the good that came from it?

Joyce, Judy, and Amie look back at the parts of their stories they might have gladly erased in the moment and ask a harder question: What would be missing now if they had?

What if some of the very things we would have written out of our stories are the things God has used to transform us, deepen us, connect us to others, and teach us to trust Him with whatever comes next?

Maybe the question isn’t whether we would have chosen the hard. Maybe it’s whether, in the middle of it, we can trust that God really is who He says He is.

What happens when you’re genuinely grateful for your life… and still catch yourself looking sideways at somebody else’s?

Joyce, Judy, and Amie dig into the surprisingly sneaky connection between envy, happiness, and contentment—and discover that coveting doesn’t always look like wanting someone else’s house, clothes, or stuff.

Sometimes it looks like wishing your family circumstances were different. Wanting the security someone else has. Grieving an experience you may never get. Or quietly deciding that one more thing might finally make you happy.

This conversation gets tender, funny, and very honest as the girls ask what it really means to be content without pretending there aren’t things we still wish were different.

SCRIPTURE MENTIONED 

• Genesis 3

• Romans 12:2

JOIN THE CONVERSATION 

Where does envy or discontentment sneak into your life in a way you didn’t expect?

Maybe it isn’t about stuff at all. Maybe it’s a relationship, a family situation, an opportunity, or something you wish were different.

Episode 04 | Easy Button, Please

Wouldn’t it be nice if life came with an easy button? Skip the tension. Avoid the uncomfortable. Get straight to the good part. Yes, please.

Unfortunately, that may not be how this works. 

Using the picture of a bow and arrow, Joyce, Judy, and Amie unpack the “power in the pull”—the tension that comes before release, direction, and impact.

From people-pleasing and trying to fit in, to uncomfortable conversations, family roles, faith, and Joyce’s prodigal years, the girls explore what happens when we stop running from tension and allow God to use it.

Maybe the goal isn’t a tension-free life. Maybe it’s learning to trust the One who knows exactly how much tension is needed to prepare us for where He’s sending us.

SCRIPTURE MENTIONED

• Romans 12:2

• Romans 8:17

• Luke 15:11–32

CHAPTERS

36:00 What Are You Sacrificing to Avoid the Tension?

JOIN THE CONVERSATION 

What are you sacrificing to avoid tension? Maybe it’s a hard conversation, a boundary, an honest look at yourself, or something God is asking you to walk through instead of around.

Tell us in the comments, and invite a girlfriend to pull up a chair and join the conversation.

Episode 03 | Jonah!

What if the thing that feels like punishment is actually part of the rescue?

Joyce, Judy, and Amie revisit the story of Jonah through a fresh lens—asking what happens when our running, resistance, weakness, and even our descent become places God can redeem. From the belly of the fish to Nineveh, this conversation explores rescue, suffering, forgiveness, self-worth, and the God who can bring a rising out of our deepest places.

• Jonah 1–4

• Matthew 12:40

• Romans 8:17

• Romans 12:2

Episode 02 | The God Hours

What if waking in the middle of the night isn’t always an interruption… but an invitation?

In this episode, Joyce, Judy, and Amie explore the idea of “God Hours”—those quiet moments when the world is still and God may be inviting us to slow down, listen, and remember His faithfulness. What begins as a conversation about sleep unfolds into stories of Samuel, Joseph, Paul and Silas, and the ways God still speaks in unexpected moments.

Scripture Mentioned

• Proverbs 31
• 1 Samuel 3
• Genesis 37–41
• Acts 16:25–34
• Romans 12:2
