 In this episode of the podcast, I share my tips for moving into the new year with ease and intention. When you allow the Father to order your steps, you can trust that you’ll end up right where you are meant to be.

Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or just running on empty? In this episode, we’re talking about self-care – what it really means and how it connects to honoring God and living well. Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. It starts with learning to slow down, recognize burnout, and make space for rest. 

Let’s unpack what it looks like to care for your body, mind, and soul in ways that honor God and help you thrive. From simple habits like stretching your body to spiritual disciplines like prayer and digging into Scripture, I’m sharing practical steps to help you refresh and refill.

It’s time for my annual Christmas Collection! This year, instead of sharing gift ideas, Kariss and I reminisced over our favorite Christmas memories (and our not-so-favorite gifts). And let me tell you, a good time was had. I love that we get together to intentionally connect in this way. I also love that we get to invite you into our conversation.

I love that we get together to spend time together in this way. There’s no better time to reflect on what made the holidays special and to discover ways to bring that joy with you now.

Connecting with God through Scripture is how intimacy is formed. Much like learning about a loved one through intentional time and attention, you learn more about the character of God through time spent in His word. The thing is, even in knowing this, studying Scripture can still feel like an impossible task.

Tara-Leigh Cobble joins me on this episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. She is a speaker and teacher who has helped millions access and understand the Bible through The Bible Recap Podcast. 

I know this conversation will encourage you to engage with Scripture, even when life dares to get in the way.

Are you tired of putting on your superwoman cape for everyone and everything? As a woman, I can certainly identify with feeling overrun and overworked. And specifically, as a Black woman, the pressure to constantly be strong can feel downright debilitating.

Whether you’re a Black woman searching for her identity in Christian spaces or someone far removed from the Black experience, this conversation will encourage you to not only show up better but to serve and love your sisters in faith better too

That’s exactly when we need a spiritual joy bomb like Oneka McClellan to remind us that, regardless of our circumstances, we are daughters of THE King. 

We are chosen, we are loved, and we are appointed for greatness! 

Oneka McClellan is a writer, author, speaker, wife, and mother who also pastors Shoreline City Church alongside her husband, Earl.
