In this episode, Susanne sits down with Carey, Teresa, and Ella for a meaningful conversation on the importance of multigenerational relationships in the church.

Together, they explore the beauty of women across different life stages walking in faith side by side—learning from one another, encouraging one another, and growing together in Christ. From personal stories of spiritual influence to honest reflections on barriers between generations, this conversation points us back to the biblical vision of Titus 2 and what it can look like lived out in everyday life.

The guests also share the impact of women who have shaped their faith, what each generation brings to the body of Christ, and how we can step more fully into mentoring and discipleship relationships.

We hope this episode encourages you to pursue deeper connections across generations.

In this special episode, we sit down with author and speaker Elizabeth Woodson, who will be joining us this August for our Equip Conference. Elizabeth shares about her upbringing in the church, her journey into ministry, and the heart behind her newest book, Habits of Resistance: 7 Ways You're Being Formed By Culture and Gospel Practices to Help You Push Back. 

Together, we explore some of the subtle but powerful ways culture is shaping us—and how intentional, gospel-centered practices can help us resist and remain rooted in Christ. Elizabeth speaks directly to women in every season, from college students navigating independence, to moms discipling the next generation, to women seeking to live faithfully in a noisy world.

This conversation is both grounding and challenging, inviting us to examine what is forming us and equipping us with practical ways to stand firm in truth.

We would love for you to join us at our Equip Conference this August, where Elizabeth will be teaching more on this theme. This is the perfect opportunity for college women, moms and teen daughters, and women of every age to invite a friend, a neighbor, and come enjoy a weekend together!

In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Hollie, Emma, and Susanne for an honest conversation about why serving in the local church truly matters. Three of these women currently serve on staff, and one volunteers faithfully after previously serving on staff—each bringing a unique perspective on what it looks like to use your gifts to build up the body of Christ.

Together they discuss how serving is not just about filling a role, but about spiritual growth, deeper connection, and participating in the mission God has given His church. When every believer steps into their unique calling, the church functions as it was designed—but when parts of the body remain inactive, something important is missing.

In this conversation, they talk about:

Why serving strengthens our own faith

How God uses serving to grow and shape us

The beauty of the church functioning as a body where every part matters

The relationships and community that form when we serve together

What’s at stake when believers stay on the sidelines

Why serving as a family—and modeling it for our children—matters for the next generation

Whether you’re already serving or still wondering where you fit, this episode will encourage you to see the vital role you play in the life of the church.

What does it look like for women to respond faithfully to a call into vocational ministry?

In this episode, I sit down with three young women on our church staff—Lindsey, Mary, and Emma—to talk about their unique journeys into ministry. They share how they first sensed God’s call, the role our church’s internship and apprenticeship programs played in shaping their paths, and what their day-to-day lives in ministry really look like across different areas of service.

You’ll hear honest reflections, meaningful moments that remind them why they do what they do, and encouragement for anyone discerning their own next step. Whether you’re wrestling with a sense of calling yourself or walking alongside a young woman who is, this conversation is meant to inspire courage, clarity, and obedience.

We are halfway through our study of Ephesians with Prince Women, and what a rich journey it has been! In this episode, Lindsey, Lisa, Therese, and Emily pause to reflect on chapters 1–3 — the breathtaking blessings we have in Christ, the grace that made us alive, and the unity we share as one body.

Together, we revisit what it means to be blessed, seated, and united in the Beloved. We talk about identity, the hope of His calling, the abundance of His grace, and the beauty of learning theology in community. If you’ve fallen behind or are feeling overwhelmed, this episode is an encouragement to press in.

Whether you’re taking part in the Ephesians study or simply listening along, this conversation will help you see more clearly Who God is and who you are in Christ.

In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, Lindsey sits down with Meredith, Morgan, and Kasey to talk about body image, disordered eating, and the healing Christ offers. Meredith shares her personal testimony of struggling with an eating disorder as a college athlete and coach. Morgan—a licensed counselor serving teens, college students, young adults, and adults navigating life’s challenges—offers clinical and spiritual insight shaped by her work in body image and eating disorder recovery. Kasey, an intuitive eating health educator, personal trainer, and founder of Joyful Health Co., brings encouragement from her own story and her passion for helping women find freedom with food and fitness by grace.

Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers beneath these struggles and consider how the gospel tenderly reshapes the way we see our bodies, beauty, and care for ourselves. From recognizing warning signs and seeking wise support to cultivating practical rhythms of healing and hope, this conversation reminds us that freedom is possible—and that our bodies were created for God’s glory, not our striving.

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Lindsey sits down with Lisa Vaughn, Leah Brannon, and Natalia Joaquin to explore the beauty, challenges, and joy of singleness in the life of the church. Together, they share personal stories, address cultural pressures that often elevate marriage above singleness, and dismantle common myths surrounding single women.

This episode speaks tenderly to seasons of loneliness, the importance of meaningful community, and practical ways the church can better love and support singles. Most importantly, the conversation turns to Scripture—highlighting identity in Christ, deep contentment in God, and the unique Kingdom impact single women are able to carry right now.

Whether you are single, married, or walking alongside someone who is, this discussion offers a refreshing, gospel-centered perspective that points us all toward the “good portion” found only in Jesus.

In this heartfelt episode, Lindsey and Emma sit down with Andrea Smith, pastor’s wife and valued member of our church family, for an honest conversation about trusting God through life’s deepest trials.

Andrea shares what it was like growing up as a pastor’s kid, how she met and married Pastor Josh, and how those early experiences shaped her faith. She then opens up vulnerably about her cancer journey—walking through fear, uncertainty, and suffering while learning to trust the Lord in new and profound ways.

With wisdom, humility, and hope, Andrea offers encouragement for anyone navigating hard seasons, reminding us that God is near in deep waters and faithful even when the path feels unclear.

Whether you’re in the middle of a trial or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will meet you with comfort, perspective, and gentle reminders of God’s presence.

In this episode of The Good Portion Podcast, Lindsey and Susanne interview Emily Swartz and Jessica Moody about pursuing and sustaining godly friendships in every season of life. While we are created for community, many of us feel disconnected, isolated, or unsure how to build meaningful relationships. In a world of constant connection yet deep loneliness, this conversation explores what Scripture teaches about friendship and offers practical encouragement for cultivating Christ-centered relationships that nourish our faith.

In this episode, Angela Clark and Teresa Allen share what it looks like to live a presence-centered life—one shaped by attentiveness to God rather than the noise and hurry around us. We talk about what this way of living really means, why it’s essential for spiritual formation, and practical practices that have helped them learn to abide in God’s presence.
