Hey Queens of Purpose,

Episode 2: How to Develop the Fruit of the Spirit (Part 1) | Girls Anthem Unplugged

We love to talk about the gifts of the Spirit—prophecy, healing, tongues—but what about the fruit? In this two-part series, host Mya Kay challenges us to shift our focus from chasing spiritual power to cultivating spiritual character.

Rooted in Galatians 5:22-23, this episode dives into the first four fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, and patience. With a powerful mix of biblical insight and personal storytelling, Mya unpacks what it really looks like to develop the fruit of the Spirit in your everyday life.

You’ll also learn:

* Why the fruit and gifts of the Spirit were never meant to be separated

* The Greek meaning behind the word “fruit” (and why it matters)

* What happens when we try to walk in gifting without godly character

This is spiritual growth for the woman who’s tired of surface-level Christianity and wants to become more like Jesus, one fruit at a time.

Scriptures:

Galatians 5:22-23

Colossians 1:9-14; 2:12-17

John 15:1-8

Romans 12:18

Philippians 4:6-8

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

P.S. The prayer at the end cuts off (tech got in its feelings 😅), but trust, nothing is missing from the power of this episode. Life happens. Grace abounds.

Hey Queens of Purpose,

Episode 1: Bad Decision Making | Girls Anthem Unplugged

Why do we, as Christian women, keep making bad decisions—even when we know better?

In this powerful first episode of Girls Anthem Unplugged, host Mya Kay opens up about the real (and often overlooked) reasons why so many of us struggle with decision-making as believers. Using Genesis 3:1-7 as a foundation, she explores how doubt, disobedience, and spiritual laziness can lead us down paths God never intended.

This isn’t just a surface-level chat. Mya shares personal stories and hard-learned lessons to show how a lack of trust in God, prayerlessness, and ignoring the Holy Spirit often play a bigger role in our choices than we’d like to admit. But it’s not all conviction—there’s clarity too. The episode ends with 3 practical, biblical tips to help you make godly decisions moving forward.

If you’ve ever wrestled with regret, wondered if God can use your poor choices, or simply want to grow in spiritual maturity—this episode is for you.

Genesis 3:1-7

Acts 16:6-7

Proverbs 3:5-7

Romans 8:1

Proverbs 4:23

Jeremiah 17:9-10

Hey Family,

I pray this blesses you — for real.

I’ve been sitting with something heavy, and it started after watching the clip of Summer from Baddies saying something reckless about Emmett Till. That comment? Wildly disrespectful. And my heart breaks for his family. But you know what hit me even deeper?

It shouldn’t take a moment like that for us to open our eyes.

People were up in arms (as they should be), but why did it take this for us to finally say out loud what so many of us already knew — that Zeus Network and shows like Baddies have been feeding us toxic content for way too long?

We deserve better.Our girls deserve better.Our legacy deserves better.

I could rant about how media is failing us. I could go off about how we need to protect our culture and call our community higher. But instead of just venting, I’m doing what I was called to do — be a solution.

So I created something. A resource rooted in real talk and biblical truth. It’s based on my article “The Beauty of Being Set Apart” from the March/April 2025 issue — and it’s something I pray every woman and girl who feels overlooked, forgotten, or called to stand out will sit with.

👉🏽 Download the free Set Apart Devo packet here

This ain’t no fluff. It’s full of scriptures, journal prompts, affirmations, and questions to help you wrestle with what it really means to be chosen in a world that pushes conformity.

If it speaks to you, pass it on to another sis. Let's flood timelines, inboxes, and hearts with truth. Because the culture may be loud, but purpose whispers — and it’s still speaking. If you haven’t read the article yet, here it is.

Be sure to share this with your people — your friends, your family, your girls.Let’s stop just talking about the problem and start spreading content that actually helps us grow. Because if we start healing now, maybe our daughters won’t have to find their worth in shows that profit off their pain.

We deserve better. And it starts with us.

Love y’all,

Mya Kay

Since there are three prayers left, I figured it was best to put them in one post for the last Friday in February. March is our paid content month, so I want to be sure to give everything free now that should be free. Plus, March will feature some dope, fresh content and you’ll want to press in. January and February were awesome months to build a powerful prayer life by listening to our prayers, but I pray you also wrote out some of your own.

Remember, prayer is simply talking to God. I always encourage people to pray scriptures because God’s word can’t return void (Isaiah 55:10-11). If you’re ever at a loss for words, pray The Word. Don’t compare your prayer life to anyone else’s and listen just as much as you speak. Prayer is a two-way conversation. Sometimes, you may feel compelled to be quiet during your prayer time because God is talking. Keep a journal and be sure to listen.

Remember, our March issue will provide three monthly posts in our Faith Fit section, but all other sections will be for paid subscribers only. If this is your first time reading one of our articles, you can read the subscription details here:

$9.99/month for all the sections (Health Hits, Faith Fit, Business Blueprint, Soul Entertainment, Kay’s Korner and our Girls Anthem Roundtable)

You can also visit our About Page for the details. We hope you stay with us! Remember, if a monthly subscription is too much right now, you can still support our PDF and Print versions! Check them out below!

This prayer call blessed me deeply. One of my assignments over the last three years has been praying for men in the body of Christ. As women, we have a special opportunity to influence our men by being prayer warriors and creating a healthy environment for their hearts. Last month, when the January/February double issue was released, there was an article that talked about how speaking life to our men creates healthy environments. I encourage you to go back and read it after listening to this prayer call.

Remember, this applies to all men in our lives, not just husbands. Healthy men of God are the foundation of healthy families and healthy communities.

We work so hard to learn and speak our loved one’s love languages, forgetting that God has one as well. Romans 12:1 talks about what our reasonable service is - which is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. I pray as you listen to this call you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal areas of your life that aren’t surrendered to Him.

I felt led to share a song with this post. “Another Surrender” by Woman Evolve Worship and Naomi Raine. I believe worship and prayer go hand-in-hand. Let this song minister to you as you meditate on the scriptures from the call. Love you!

Another Surrender

There’s been an attack on women’s confidence since the days of Adam and Eve. A lot of the women God has used me to minister to over the last five or so years have all struggled with confidence. I noticed a pattern. A lot of times the enemy uses the circumstances you go through to take a hit at your confidence. I believe he does this because once

your confidence takes a hit, your faith takes one. It’s hard to believe in God’s plan for your life if you’re struggling to believe in yourself.

I pray this call blesses you; and remember, confidence isn’t cockiness. It’s having a healthy view of yourself and standing in your God-given identity and authority 24/7.

I know we want to get rid of the things that are holding us back once we get a taste of freedom. I know what that feels like. I remember when I first started going through deliverance and I got set free from a spirit that had tormented me since childhood, I just wanted to rush through everything and get it over with. One of the best gifts God could’ve ever given me was having to walk out my deliverance. You didn’t get in it overnight. Be patient with yourself and your healing.
