May 02, 2022 Dear Single Sister, don't SETTLE for a guy who doesn't truly LOVE God
Send us a text
Ep. 075 - Don’t settle for a guy who isn’t interested in honoring God with his life. No matter how cute or funny he is, it’s not worth it in the end. Settling is never worth it.
Don’t lower the bar for a guy who’s cute and charming, but lacks godly character and a genuine love for God.⁣
⁣Don’t allow yourself to fall for a guy who makes you laugh, but cares only for himself. Don’t stay with a guy who says he loves you, but constantly pressures you to compromise. ⁣As satisfying as it might feel in the moment to be in a romantic relationship, the infatuation won’t last forever. ⁣
Wait for a man who will push you closer to Christ, rather than away.

April 25, 2022 Our Sister's Terrifying Escape From Ukraine and the Birth Of Her Baby with Ellissa Petrenko
Send us a text
Ep. 074 - It was a terrifying day for everyone in the country of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine woke up very early to radio stations and TV channels announcing that Russia had invaded their beloved homeland. Our sister woke up to sounds of bombing not far from her house. It was (and is) a literal nightmare.

We have the honor of hearing from our sister, Ellissa Petrenko, for her very first interview about that terrifying day (and the days that followed). Listen as she shares the five day journey of trying to escape the country, all while being nine months pregnant.

This is also a great reminder to continue praying for all the people of Ukraine. Pray first and foremost that they would come to know Jesus in a personal way.

April 18, 2022 When Guy DRAMA Gets Out of Control
Send us a text
Ep. 073 - Guy drama is a HUGE issue for many women. It can quite literally tear good friendships apart. Women who were once the best of friends end up going their separate ways... over a guy! Kristen and Bethany are no strangers to the drama of who-likes-who and the comparison that plagues many friendships.

In today's episode, they are going to unpack how to focus on and live for what truly matters. You don't have to let the good (or bad) going on in other peoples lives to ruin yours. You can thrive EVEN if your life isn't going the way that you wanted it to.

Let's dig into God's Word and figure out how to live fully for Christ, even when it's hard.

April 11, 2022 Bethany's Story of Miscarriage and Loss over the Past Year
Send us a text
Ep. 072 - It’s been a long year. I (Bethany) never imagined I’d be sharing a story like this one. I knew miscarriages could be a possibility, but I never imagined I would have three back-to-back-to-back.
My faith has been challenged in new ways. My relationship with my sweet husband has grown and deepened because of these losses.
I know God is good. I know He has a plan. I trust Him.

I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know why I’m having these miscarriages. I don’t know the answer. But, I'm researching. I'm seeing a great Dr. I'm taking all the steps forward to try and figure this out.
Learn how to TRUST God with me. Learn how to believe that He is GOOD even in the midst of the hard. Let's unpack what it looks like to find joy in the Lord in the midst of loss.

April 04, 2022 My Unexpected Path Toward Marriage
Send us a text
Ep. 071 - Imagine walking into a church and standing a few feet away from your future husband WITHOUT realizing it. This is Bethany's story. In 2010 she walked into a small church having NO idea she was about to meet her future husband. It would be years before God would bring them together.

During those years of her knowing David, but having no idea he was her future husband, Bethany struggled with her singleness. She struggled to trust God.

If you're in a season of waiting, this episode is for you. Join us as we uncover the purpose of each of our lives and unpack what it takes to truly thrive right where God has you.

March 28, 2022 Help! I'm Really Struggling to TRUST God
Send us a text
Ep. 070 - Let's jump back to the year 2014. This was the year that Girl Defined Ministries came into existence. Talk about a step of faith. We didn't know what in the world we were doing. We just knew that we needed to TRUST God and follow His leading. Is there something in your own life that you know you need to trust God with? Maybe it's taking a step of faith towards something. Or, maybe it's ending a bad relationship that should have ended a year ago.

In today's episode, we're going to unpack what it looks like to TRULY trust God even when its hard. Even when the future seems scary. Even when you're not sure what will happen.

Let's jump in.

March 14, 2022 God Are You Even Good?
Send us a text
Ep. 068 - Hard moments in life cause many of us to ask the question, "God, are you even good?" or "How could a good God let such evil happen?" Those are legit questions. They need answers.

In today's episode, Kristen and Bethany open up about the difficulty their families have been walking through. They never could have anticipated the War in Ukraine would impact them so personally. But, it has. Their sister fled the country at 38 weeks pregnant.

It's been scary. Hard. And heartbreaking.

Listen as they share what has kept them and their families anchored during these terrible times.

Send us a text
Ep. 067 - I thought I was going to marry this guy. How could I move on? How could I imagine a future without him? Worst of all... how could I ever date again? Breakups can be one of the most devastating moments in a woman's life. Breakups can leave one lonely, grieving and anxious about the future. I know, because I've been there many times. My breakup left me worry-ridden. I become overtaken with the sin of worry.

If you desire freedom from the sin of worry in your own life, I will show you how to get there. In today's episode, we're going to unpack what Scripture has to say about worry and how to walk in true freedom.
