In this episode, we’re diving into John 3:16: “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His one and only Son…” But what does God’s love actually look like, and what happens when the way we’ve learned to understand love is completely different from what Scripture teaches?

We’ll investigate the Greek word agapaō, meaning to love through choosing, giving, and seeking the good of another. Because biblical love isn’t simply a feeling, intense chemistry, being wanted, or accepting everything someone does. God’s love is consistent, sacrificial, truthful, and rooted in His character.

We’ll connect John 3:16 to Hosea 11:1–4, Romans 5:8, and 1 John 4:8, and look at how Jesus shows us what God’s love looks like in action. We’ll also talk about the ways we can confuse intensity with intimacy, being wanted with being valued, and acceptance with love.

If you’ve ever been in a toxic relationship, struggled to recognize healthy love, ignored red flags because you wanted to be chosen, or wondered what biblical love actually looks like, grab your Bible and sip Scripture with me.

Because before we can learn how to love others well, we have to let Jesus redefine what love is.

Sip Scripture. Sow Jesus. Produce Fruit.

In this episode, we’re diving into Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” But what does it actually mean to sin, and what do we do when we know we’ve fallen short?

We’ll investigate the Greek words hystereō, meaning to come up short or lack what’s needed, and hamartia, meaning to “miss the mark.” Because sin isn’t simply a list of rules we’ve broken. There’s something deeper happening when we miss the mark of knowing Jesus, reflecting Him, and living in relationship with God.

We’ll connect Romans 3:23 to Isaiah 53:6 and 1 John 1:8, and explore what it looks like to recognize your sin without letting guilt and shame define you.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop sinning, heal from sin, move forward after making a mistake, or forgive yourself, grab your Bible and sip Scripture with me.

Because before we can understand the good news, we have to understand the problem.

In this episode of She Sips & Sows, we’re going back to the very first verse of the Bible: Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

If God is the Creator and we are the creation, what does that actually mean for the way we live, make decisions, handle uncertainty, and trust God with our future?

We’ll dig into the Hebrew word bara, explore what it means that God is the Creator, and connect Genesis 1:1 to Isaiah 40:26, John 1, and Colossians 1 to see what Scripture reveals about Jesus as Creator.

Then we’ll bring it into real life: control, anxiety, comparison, identity, and the temptation to rewrite the story God is writing.

Because sometimes our desire for control is really fear in disguise.

In this first episode, we’re going back to the moment Jesus said, “Follow me.” We’re diving into Matthew 4:19–20 and exploring what it actually means to follow Jesus, what we have to leave behind, and how He can take the skills, experiences, and even the mess of our past and use them for His Kingdom.

We’ll look at the Greek word akoloutheo, which means more than simply walking behind someone. It’s about accompanying Jesus, aligning our lives with Him, and ordering our steps after His.

We’ll also connect this moment to Abraham following God into the unknown in Genesis 12 and the Israelites following God’s direction through the wilderness in Exodus 13.

Because following Jesus doesn’t mean knowing exactly where you’re going. It means trusting the One who does.

And the best part? Jesus doesn’t ask you to become a finished, perfect version of yourself before you follow Him. He says, “I will make you.”
