June 02 Living From Approval, Not For It
After a full, productive day of work, Shawna went back to her hotel room and ruminated over one moment she wished she could do over. Til the Holy Spirit intervened and took her thoughts in a brand new direction. Jody and Shawna process how easy it is to get caught up in trying to be perfect, people-pleasers instead of resting in the truth that God knows us completely so we can live from approval, not for it.

May 26 Walking On Water
You can judge Peter for taking his eyes off of Jesus but he’s the only disciple who stepped out of the boat and actually walked on water! Jody and Shawna process how “walking on water” is how we are meant to live every day - eyes on Jesus - not the waves - trusting - believing!

May 19 Forgiveness, Grace, Growth
On Shawna’s flight to Cali to film the podcast a guy she met on the plane said he was heading home and didn’t know how he would be received. Jody and Shawna talk about how forgiveness can lead to being curious about how others might respond to us, rather than keeping them stuck in who they’ve always been. You’re different. They are too. And also a bit about what healthy boundaries look like with people we’ve forgiven.

May 05 Choosing Truth
In this episode of Real Sisters Real Talk, Jody shares a real-life moment of being on the receiving end of a snarky comment, and together with Shawna, they unpack what’s happening beneath the surface when offense rises up. Looking at Luke 17:6, they talk about choosing faith in the moment, identifying the lies that creep in, and trusting God for what’s true—so you can respond with clarity instead of reaction.

April 28 Who is the Holy Spirit?
We understand the role of Father and of Son but it’s a little harder to grasp the role of the Holy Spirit. Jody and Shawna talk about - not only the role of the Spirit - but also share stories from scripture and their own lives of ways that He is actively involved in our lives.

April 21 Made for Community
When you hear “Christian community,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Yes, the potluck and the diluted punch. Of course, but what else? Jody and Shawna talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of Christian community. They even make a few suggestions of how to get in it. God’s good and perfect plan for your life is not isolation but connection.

April 14 Sacred Memories, Living Faith
As Jody spent her last moments in her childhood home, feeling all the feels, God reminded her that memories don’t live in houses - they live in hearts. Oh the kindness of God to be with Jody and to speak to her in that time. God has always wanted to be with you - in every season of life - holding your hand - making memories with you.
Whether your childhood home brings up good memories or challenging ones, the God who loves you has always been with you. And he always will be.
