Real Sisters, Real Talk

Holy, Holy, Holy is the lord God Almighty! In the personal intimacy we get to have with God it's possible to forget who He is. He is our friend but He's also holy - set apart - completely other.  Jody and Shawna share what God is teaching them about His holiness and invite you to see Him as He is - Holy!

Does the Holy Spirit really speak to us? Does He show us things? And how in the world do you distinguish His voice from all the noise? Join sisters Jody and Shawna on this episode of Real Sisters Real Talk as they dive into the practical reality of living a life led by the Spirit. They share personal examples of times they learned to recognize the Holy Spirit's activity in their own lives—sometimes clearly, sometimes only in hindsight. More importantly, they provide actionable steps and biblical insights you can use today to cultivate greater clarity and confidence in discerning the Spirit's guidance in your everyday life. Stop wondering and start seeing—it's time for some real talk about the Holy Spirit!

Do you struggle to accept help? If "I've got it" is your mantra, you're not alone. On a recent trip to Kenya, Shawna realized this independent mindset was masking deeper issues of self-reliance and pride. In this honest episode of Real Sisters, Real Talk, Jody and Shawna dive into the challenge of learning to soften our hearts, let others into our struggles, and cultivate a deeper, more necessary reliance on God. If you've been trying to do life entirely on your own strength, you don’t have to. Cling to and rely on God,  and receive all that He has for you.

You know when God shines a light on something and you can’t NOT see it?! That happened for Shawna on a recent trip to Africa. She and Jody process what actually happened, why it seemed significant, and what God might want her to know through it all. God loves you. He wants to bless you. If you struggle to receive that, from Him or others, this conversation might help soften your heart too.

Happy Valentine’s Day! If you want to learn how to love, really love, like God does, close the gap in your relationship with Him. As you do, through being honestly present with him, in silence and solitude and reading the Bible, you will fall more in love with Him and that will make every relationship you have even better!
