October 06 Ep. 138 - Philippians Series Ep. 9: How to be Content in a Content Driven World
We live in a content-driven world that is constantly telling us we need more: more money, more experiences, more recognition, more things. With social media giving us a front-row seat to everyone else’s highlight reel, it’s easy to fall into comparison and believe what we have isn’t enough.
But in Philippians 4:10–23, Paul shows us a different way to live.
Writing from prison, Paul says, “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” His contentment wasn’t determined by his circumstances, possessions, comfort, or status. It was rooted in Christ.
In this final episode of our Philippians series, we look at three truths that helped Paul learn contentment: the Providence of God, the Power of God, and the Provision of God. We’ll also unpack Philippians 4:13 in its proper context and discover that “I can do all things through Christ” isn’t a promise that we can accomplish anything we want. It’s a reminder that Christ gives us the strength to remain faithful and content in every circumstance.
In a world constantly encouraging us to compare, consume, and crave more, what would change if we truly believed Christ is enough?
Join us as we close out our study of Philippians and challenge ourselves to stop looking at what everyone else has and start recognizing the goodness, provision, and presence of God in our own lives.
God bless from our hearts to yours,
Ashlee & Tabitha

September 29 Ep. 137 - Philippians Series Ep. 8: The Power of Positive Thinking
Our thoughts have a powerful influence on the way we live. In Philippians 4:1–9, Paul teaches us that peace doesn’t come from having perfect circumstances, but from learning to pray about everything, think on the right things, and live out what we know is true.
In this episode, we talk about replacing worry with prayer, lies with the truth of God’s Word, comparison with contentment, and negativity with gratitude. When we intentionally fix our minds on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report, our thoughts begin to shape a life of obedience and peace.
Join us as we discover how changing what we dwell on can change the way we live.
God bless from our hearts to yours,
Ashlee & Tabitha

September 22 Ep. 136 - Philippians Series Ep. 7: Pressing Toward the Mark
In this episode, we finish Philippians chapter 3 by looking at Paul’s desire to truly know Christ, live in the power of His resurrection, and keep pressing toward the mark. We’ll talk about letting go of the past, pursuing spiritual maturity, choosing godly influences, and living with eternity in mind. Your past doesn’t have to determine your future faithfulness. Keep reaching forward, keep pursuing Christ, and remember where your true citizenship lies.
God bless from our hearts to yours,

September 15 Ep. 135 - Philippians Series Ep. 6: Trading Self-Confidence for Christ
In Philippians 3:1–9, Paul warns believers to beware of false teaching and putting confidence in the flesh. Although Paul had the heritage, reputation, tradition, and religious credentials, he realized none of it could compare to knowing Christ. In this episode, we’re challenged to let go of self-confidence, selfish desires, and anything keeping us from fully surrendering to Jesus. Salvation isn’t found in what we can do—it is found in Christ alone.

September 08 Ep. 134 - Philippians Series Ep. 5: Shine through Faithfulness
In this episode, we finish Philippians chapter 2 by looking at what it means to shine as lights through obedience and live as examples of faithfulness. Through Paul’s instruction and the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus, we’re challenged to live out our faith consistently—not just when others are watching, but in the everyday moments. Our obedience, attitude, and faithfulness matter, and when we live differently from the world around us, our lives can point others to Jesus.
God bless from our hearts to yours,

August 25 Ep. 132 - Philippians Series Ep. 3: Living Worthy of the Gospel
What does it really mean to live worthy of the gospel? In Philippians 1, Paul shows us that our circumstances don’t have to determine our joy, our faithfulness, or our witness. Even while imprisoned, Paul remained passionate about the gospel, partnered with other believers, proclaimed that Christ be magnified, and persevered through suffering. In this episode, we’ll be challenged to examine whether our everyday words, actions, attitudes, and responses truly reflect Jesus—and learn to see our circumstances as opportunities for God to use us to advance the gospel.
God bless from our hearts to yours,
Ashlee & Tabitha

August 18 Ep. 131 - Philippians Series Ep. 2: He’s Still Working on Me
In Philippians 1:1–11, Paul shows us how to live with confidence in God even when life is difficult. From his prison cell, Paul demonstrates an attitude of gratitude, Christ-centered affection, appreciation, and spiritual affirmation toward others. Most importantly, Philippians 1:6 reminds us that God is not finished with us—He will complete the good work He began. In this episode, we’ll learn how confidence in God’s work can transform the way we view ourselves, others, and our circumstances. Don’t give up—God is still working on you!
God Bless From Our Hearts to Yours,

August 11 Ep. 130 - Philippians Series Ep. 1: Joy in the Chains
What would your letter sound like if you were writing it from prison? Complaints? Fear? Frustration? Anger?
Now imagine a letter overflowing with joy, gratitude, encouragement, and confidence in Christ. That’s Philippians.
In this episode, we’re kicking off a brand-new study through the book of Philippians and laying the foundation for everything we’ll discover along the way. We’ll answer the important questions: Who wrote Philippians? Who was it written to? Why was it written? When was it written? And what was happening in the lives of Paul and the believers at Philippi?
Paul wrote Philippians while imprisoned, yet his circumstances couldn’t steal his joy. Throughout this letter, we’ll discover the difference between temporary happiness and the deep, steady, unshakeable joy that comes from knowing Christ.
And perhaps one of the biggest questions we’ll ask in this episode is this: If Paul could rejoice in chains, what excuses do we have?
As we begin this journey through Philippians, we’ll also challenge ourselves to ask: Am I the kind of Christian who brings joy to the hearts of others when they think of me? Who do you thank God for when you remember them?
Let’s begin this study by choosing gratitude, encouraging others, and finding our joy—not in our circumstances, but in Christ.
God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,
Ashlee & Tabitha

About Purposeful Women of God

From the publisher's feed

Purposeful Women of God began as both Ashlee and Tabitha were seeking a way to minister to women of all walks of life. As they were praying, the Lord began to impress on Ashlee’s heart to begin a podcast and to ask Tabitha to join her. It didn’t take Tabitha long to commit because God was working in her heart as well.
