Do you ever feel overwhelmed by anxiety — especially during the holidays? Do you struggle to feel the true reason for the season? Between family tensions, full schedules, and expectations of perfection, it’s easy to let fear and overwhelm steal your peace.

Do you feel stuck in your thought life — circling fear, doubt, and striving even though you love Jesus? You’re not alone, sister. In this Spirit Filled Girl Talk episode, we get real about renewing your mind in Christ so you can surrender, trust God, and walk in your Kingdom purpose with faith and confidence. Together we unpack how to take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), live by biblical truth instead of cultural noise (Romans 12:2), and step into a rhythm of daily obedience, peace, and Spirit-led transformation.

You’ll hear practical, grace-filled ways to move from reaction to rest — to pause, pray, and choose truth when anxiety, comparison, or a critical inner voice tries to steal your peace. With honest stories, Scripture, and Spirit-filled sisterhood, this conversation will help you renew your mind, strengthen your identity in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity.

In this episode, we cover:

The battle of the mind and why worship is warfare

Seven daily practices to renew your mind in Christ

How to trade “What if?” fear for “Trust God” faith

Practical steps for walking in obedience and purpose even when emotions pull you elsewhere

Key Scriptures: Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:6–7; 2 Timothy 1:7

Have you ever felt excluded, unseen, or misunderstood — even by other women of faith? Maybe you’ve faced gossip, judgment, or silent competition in friendships and wondered, “How do I handle this with grace and still protect my heart?”

In this empowering and faith-filled episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, hosts Sarah Phillipe and Satin Pelfrey sit down with author and speaker Caroline Shankle to talk about courage, comparison, and identity in Christ when friendships get hard.

Caroline shares her own story of rejection and bullying as a teen, how God met her in heartbreak, and how those experiences inspired her devotional, The Lion and the Bear. Drawing from 1 Samuel 17, she reminds us that before David faced Goliath, he first fought “the lion and the bear” — and just like David, every trial we face is preparing us for something greater.

You’ll hear biblical truth and practical wisdom for both teen girls and moms navigating today’s social-media-driven culture, where comparison, competition, and insecurity run rampant. From learning how to create safe spaces for honest conversation to recognizing the God who sees (El Roi), this conversation is filled with encouragement, laughter, and reminders that your identity, worth, and purpose come from Jesus alone.

💬 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

How to navigate rejection, gossip, and comparison with grace and spiritual maturity

Why identity in Christ is the foundation for confidence and courage

How to discern when to create healthy boundaries or lean into reconciliation

What it means to surrender emotional wounds to God and walk in His peace

How faith growth often happens through relational challenges and spiritual refinement

✨ Key Takeaways:

You’re not defined by who left you out — you’re chosen, seen, and loved by God.

Surrender to God transforms insecurity into strength and comparison into calling.

Faith flourishes when you trust God to defend your heart and direct your relationships.

Together, they share real stories of repentance, restoration, and how the Holy Spirit has refined their hearts in the areas of communication, friendship, and calling.

Have you ever known about God but felt distant from His heart?

Have you ever wondered if His love could really reach you — in your pain, striving, or shame?

In this deeply personal and Spirit-led episode, Sarah shares her powerful testimony of how God pursued her with relentless, undeserved, reckless love. She recounts her journey through religous performance without relationship and walking through infertility and disapointment, toward a transformative moment of surrender and deep healing that can only be found through Christ.

Through tears, vulerability, and Scripture, Sarah recounts how God gently dismantled her striving spirit and taught her what it truly menas to be fully known, fully loved, and fully free in Him.

This is more than a story about infertility — it’s a story about redemption, identity, and intimacy with the Father. It’s about the moment when Jesus leaves the ninety-nine to chase after the one — you. It's a tender reminder: you are seen, pursued, and deeply loved by God.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Key Themes: The overwhelming love of God, healing from infertility, shame, and striving, spiritual surrender and trust, Luke 15 and the heart of the Father, discipleship, identity, and re-parenting, breaking lies and embracing truth, intimacy with God over distraction.
