Sisters With Swords

THERE SHE IS...MISS AMERICA 2007 Lauren Nelson Faram!!! We have a legit ICON on the pod today. Lauren and Janie competed at Miss America together and share the funnest pageant stories and memories. And she is the perfect person to discuss Proverbs 31:30...charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

We're all trauma bonding over bad experiences at the DMV and gynecologist on today's episode and it's not for the faint of heart. And Proverbs tells us that "charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting," but are we allowed to care about how we look? Is it okay to value beauty? Listen in as we discuss!

AI is taking over the world and the sisters are here for it. Janie discusses how she uses AI to assist her at her new job and Holly doesn't understand any of it. We also take a look at Proverbs 31:29 and find out that "surpassing them all" isn't a call to competition, but to community and collaboration.

Her children rise up and call her blessed??? God help us! Proverbs 31:28 may seem like a pipe dream...especially for those of us with kids still in the house and underfoot. Holly and Janie talk about what this means to them and how they can work towards this goal.

Are we Chili's fans now? On today's episode, Holly shares a recently experience she had at Chili's in Arizona, and let's just say that skillet queso hits every time. We take a look at Proverbs 31:27 and what it means to watch over the activities of our households and never be idle. (Fun fact: we'd love to be idle.)
