Episode 102

Have you ever looked at your family patterns and thought, “Why does this keep happening?” Maybe it’s anger, addiction, broken relationships, fear, control, or spiritual apathy. In this episode, we’re having an honest and hope-filled conversation about stepping into the freedom Jesus already paid for.

The truth is: every cycle starts somewhere. In Scripture, we see generational patterns play out clearly. There's repeated deception in the family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And then we see dysfunction, sexual sin, and violence ripple through King David’s household. But it also shows us something powerful: it only takes one person to turn back to the Lord.

And sister, that someone can be you.

Join us today as we learn:

• How to identify recurring sin patterns in your family line
• Why sin loses power when it’s brought into the light
• Practical ways to stay spiritually guarded
• How to train your children up in the ways of the Lord
• What it looks like to establish new, godly patterns in your home
• There's hope of spiritual freedom through Jesus

If you’ve ever felt like your current life is just a repeat of the past, this episode will remind you: in Christ, the cycle can end with you. Let's become women who don’t just inherit a habit, but allow God to rewrite our stories for His glory.

Episode 102

We hear the word love everywhere—but are we sure we’re defining it the way God does?

The world tells us love is a feeling, a vibe, or a specific set of actions and words. But Scripture paints a much deeper, truer picture—and it might challenge everything you’ve been taught to expect from love.

Together, we'll open the famous “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, and explore how God’s standard of love is radically different from culture’s version. We talk about how easy it is to be deceived into settling for emotional highs, empty promises, or surface-level affection—and why the Bible says God Himself is love.

You’ll discover how every description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 ultimately points to Jesus as our perfect example and standard, and what that means for your faith, your relationships, and your expectations.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• What real, godly love actually looks like

• How to discern true love from counterfeits

• Why biblical love isn’t just a feeling—but a reflection of Christ

…this conversation is for you.

Episode 101

Have you ever started a new year full of motivation, only to feel exhausted, discouraged, or completely checked out by February? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about how to prevent burnout on your resolutions and make 2026 the year you build rhythms that actually last.

We'll discover:

• why starting with small, attainable goals matters more than big, flashy plans
• how to invite God into your resolutions instead of striving in your own strength
• why copying someone else’s goals can quietly derail your spiritual growth

If you’ve ever felt pressure to do what everyone else is doing, this episode will help you refocus on what God is uniquely calling you to pursue.

You’ll also hear practical, grace-filled tips for staying consistent longer than just a year. Whether your goals are spiritual, personal, or practical, this conversation will help you move forward with clarity, peace, and faith.

Join us as we learn how to pursue goals with purpose, faith, and freedom one small step at a time.

Episode 100

As a brand new year begins, hope can feel complicated—especially when it’s layered with grief, unanswered prayers, and an unpredictable future. In this episode, we respond to a heartfelt question about hesitancy to embrace the New Year. When life hasn’t turned out the way we prayed it would, stepping into a new season can feel overwhelming and even frightening. 

Together, we explore how God’s Word meets us in uncertainty—not with empty clichés, but with real comfort, steady truth, and unshakable hope. This conversation is for the woman who loves God yet feels weary, who is trusting Him while still carrying pain, and who longs for something solid to stand on as she faces 2026. If you’re entering the new year with questions instead of clarity, this episode will gently point you back to the faithfulness of God and the certainty found in Him alone.

Episode 98

Between picture-perfect Instagram posts, glossy holiday ads, and the pressure to create “magical moments,” it’s easy to feel like your decorations aren’t enough, your gifts aren’t enough, or you’re not enough. But friend, comparison steals more than joy. It distracts us from the One this season is actually about.

Join us as we unpack how to shift your focus from what you have (or don’t have), release the pull of other people’s highlight reels, and root your heart back in Jesus. We’ll walk through practical steps to quiet the noise, embrace contentment, and rediscover the simple, sacred beauty of celebrating Christ.

If you’re tired of feeling behind, less-than, or overwhelmed by holiday expectations, this conversation will breathe peace and perspective into your season.

Tune in and let’s remember together: Christmas was never meant to be a competition. It’s an invitation to worship.

Episode 97

Let's get super honest about how easy it is to glide through December on autopilot—busy schedules, endless to-dos, and all the “must-have” traditions that sometimes leave little room for Jesus Himself.

We like to break it down into two simple, intentional ways to keep Christ at the center this year:

✨ Practical additions at home that help you weave faith into everyday moments, and

✨ Serving outside your home in ways that lift your eyes beyond your own checklist and toward the needs of others.

You’ll hear tips and real-life examples that help you slow down, check your attitude toward holiday busyness, and take steps to be more present with God and the people you love. If you’re craving a Christ-focused Christmas, not just a busy one, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and easy starting points.

Press play and let’s make space for Jesus this season… on purpose. 🎄✨

Episode 94

“Spooky season” isn’t just a time of year, it’s a reflection of the world we live in. Darkness isn’t limited to October; it shows up in the brokenness, tragedy, and fear that surround us all year long. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore what it means to shine the light of Christ in every season, not just when the culture celebrates the shadows.

We'll look at Ephesians 5:8 to learn how to live as children of light; not retreating in fear, but advancing in faith. We’ll unpack biblical principles for navigating dark times with hope: be set apart without being absent, replace fear with faith, guard against darkness, and use every opportunity for witness.

You’ll also hear practical ways to bring light into your neighborhood and home; from opening your door in hospitality, to praying over your streets, and leading your family in devotion.

Whether you’re navigating Halloween, headlines, or the everyday weight of a dark world, this episode will remind you: the world needs to see the light of Christ shining brighter than ever.
