Welcome back to the SHE Collective podcast! This week we’re diving into Ephesians 1:7–14, where Paul reminds us of the incredible blessings we have in Christ. He writes about our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins, and the lavish inheritance God has prepared for us.

In this passage, we see that everything we have in God is by His grace and according to His perfect plan. Paul calls us to live with thankfulness and purpose, remembering that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit as God’s own possession.

This week, we’ll explore:

• What it really means to be redeemed and forgiven

• How our inheritance in Christ impacts our daily choices and confidence

• The role of the Holy Spirit as our seal and guarantee

Get ready to see your life through the lens of God’s abundant blessings and leave encouraged to live in the fullness of what He has already done for you.

In Week 1, we dive into the introduction of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. We explore who Paul was writing to, the historical context of the church in Ephesus, and why his message is still so relevant for us today.

This episode is designed to help you:

• Understand the purpose and themes of Ephesians

• Reflect on your own spiritual journey and calling

• Prepare to engage with the daily readings and journal prompts

We’ll also share practical tips on how to get the most out of this study, including how to reflect on verses, notice repeated themes, and apply what you learn to your daily life.

Week 1 sets the foundation for the entire study and invites you to step into a deeper understanding of who you are in Christ and what God is calling you to in your life.

Welcome to the Ephesians Study! In this episode, we set the stage for the next 12 weeks as we dive into one of the most practical and powerful books in the New Testament. We’ll introduce the study format, share how you can engage with the passages each day, and explain the purpose of journaling, discussion questions, and cross-references.

This week is all about preparing your heart and mind to fully engage with God’s Word. We’ll talk about how to approach Scripture in a way that leads to life change, not just knowledge, and how community plays a key role in growing in faith.

Whether you’re joining a group or studying individually, this episode will help you get ready to take the next step in your walk with Christ and set the tone for the weeks ahead.

We’ve reached the final week of our Spiritual Rhythms study—and we’re closing with the rhythm that holds them all together: Surrender. As we stand on the edge of a new year, this is exactly where our hearts need to be. In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to lay our plans, expectations, control, and timelines at the feet of Jesus. Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust. It’s choosing obedience over comfort and faith over fear as we step into what God is doing next.

This episode also marks our final podcast episode of 2025. Thank you for walking with us through this season. We’ll see you back in 2026 as we roll out SHE Groups once again and begin a brand new study through the book of Ephesians. Until then, may you enter the new year surrendered, confident, and anchored in Christ.

In a world that never stops talking, scrolling, or demanding our attention, silence and solitude can feel almost impossible—and even uncomfortable. This week on the SHE Bible Study Podcast, we explore the Rhythm of Silence and Solitude: why Jesus intentionally withdrew, what Scripture teaches us about being alone with God, and how we can practice this rhythm in a loud, busy, modern world. We’ll talk honestly about distractions, spiritual noise, and the resistance we often feel when things get quiet—and why silence isn’t empty, but full of God’s presence.

As we near the end of this study, be looking out for ways to sign up for SHE Groups beginning in January. We can’t wait to walk this next season together.

On this week’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most powerful rhythms of the Christian life: repentance. It’s a word that can feel heavy… maybe even uncomfortable. But repentance isn’t about shame — it’s about freedom.

We talk about why turning back to God is such a vital part of spiritual growth, how repentance restores what sin tries to break, and why the enemy wants us to believe we’ve messed up too much to come home. Spoiler: we haven’t.

We’ll share real-life moments where God’s grace met us in our mess and remind you that conviction is a gift — because it leads us to healing, closeness with Jesus, and a heart that looks more like His.

If you’ve been carrying guilt, avoiding God, or feeling stuck… this conversation is for you. Let’s step into the joy and renewal waiting on the other side of repentance.

In this week’s study of Rooted Not Rushed, we’re diving into the rhythm of community—why it matters, why it’s hard, and how we can rebuild it in a world where so many of us have felt burned by relationships.

We open up about high school memories, mean girls, and the long (sometimes messy) journey of becoming ourselves. We talk about how those early experiences often shape the way we show up in friendships as adults—and why finding biblical community is worth pushing through the fear, past hurt, or hesitation.

Community may not seem like a “spiritual rhythm,” but it absolutely is. We were never meant to live life alone. God formed us for connection, belonging, and shared growth. Healthy community keeps us grounded when life gets overwhelming and helps us stay rooted instead of rushed.

If you’ve been longing for the right circle or wondering where you fit, this is your reminder that community is still possible—and it’s worth fighting for.

And as you’re listening, start thinking about joining a SHE Group in 2026. Your people might be waiting for you.

This week we’re talking about generosity — but don’t tune out just yet! 😉 We promise, this isn’t a money talk. We’re unpacking what it really means to live generously in every area of life — with our words, time, forgiveness, attention, and more.

We go a little off-plan this week (in true us fashion 😅) and end up diving into 9 ways to show generosity that have nothing to do with money.

From simple acts of kindness to the quiet ways we can serve others daily, this conversation will leave you inspired to give freely — right where you are, with what you already have.

✨ You don’t have to have a lot to give a lot.

This week we’re leaning into one of the most powerful postures a believer can hold — gratitude. In every season, thankfulness shifts our perspective, strengthens our faith, and reminds us that God’s goodness is not dependent on our circumstances.

In this episode, we talk about how to cultivate gratitude not just when life feels full, but when it feels empty — how to give thanks in the waiting, the breaking, and the becoming. Gratitude isn’t ignoring pain; it’s recognizing that God is still worthy of praise right in the middle of it.

Join us as we share scriptures, stories, and practical ways to make gratitude a rhythm that grounds your soul and opens your heart to joy again.

Join us on November 17 for our SHE Collective Friendsgiving. Bring a dish if that's your thing,T and join us for a night of food, community, and a word from a special guest.

This week, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked but powerful spiritual rhythms—fasting. In a world obsessed with consumption and convenience, fasting reminds us where our true source of satisfaction comes from. It’s not about deprivation; it’s about dependence—creating space for God to fill what the world never could.

Join us as we talk about the heart behind fasting, practical ways to begin, and what it means to fast not just from food, but from anything that’s taken God’s rightful place in our lives. Whether you’re new to fasting or have practiced it before, this episode will help you approach it with purpose, humility, and expectancy.

Let’s trade fullness for faith and hunger for holiness—because when we make room, He fills it.
