They Say Podcast

What’s the truth about who Jesus says you are? While the journey through this question can bring a level of anxiety and nervousness to some in the beginning, it often ends with affirmation and peace.

Join Kami, Becky and Steph as they celebrate the release of a new Jesus-Centered resource called Namesake and zone in on the question of “Who does Jesus say you are?” Along the way, they share personal stories of defining moments in their own lives when Jesus revealed their true identity.

Stuck in an argument pattern you can’t break free from, or dodging someone you need to confront? Yeah—we can relate. Saying hard things stinks.

Join Becky and Steph as they share stories of confrontation from their own lives, including initiating conflict, saying no, and the general discomfort that comes from disappointing people. With a mixture of ideas that have helped them, plus confessions of conflict gone awry, you’ll leave the episode with a challenge to let Jesus help you find your ideal balance between grace and conflict.

We’d love to hear how you approach hard conversations. Share your story on Instagram (www.instagram.com/theysaypodcast/) or on Facebook (www.facebook.com/TheySayPodcast-1748081382104595/) with your ideas and questions.

How many glasses of wine is too many? If I drink every weekend, is that too much? Does my loved one have a drinking problem? Do I?

Get ready to tackle a touchy subject with grace and hope. After encountering several blog posts, texts, and talks on booze, Steph, Kami, and Becky decided to dive into a candid discussion on drinking. From “How much is too much?” to “Do I have a problem?” they share openly about their complicated relationship with alcohol, offer encouragement and hope, and end with a call for freedom for everyone who’s struggling to resist that next glass, or praying for a loved one to do the same.

Women will talk about almost everything, including what we wore three days ago and which new diet program our neighbor is trying. So why is it that we have a hard time talking candidly about money? (Ahem—your latest bargain win doesn’t count….)

Kami and Steph tackle the taboo topic in this episode with a few compelling money factoids that may surprise you, plus two real life money stories from their life. Hopefully this will be the first of many talks on Jesus and “the green stuff” in our lives.

Have you ever noticed how one negative comment can ruin your whole day? Or how a criticism stays stuck in your mind long after a compliment does? We're calling this "critic's math," and talking about how to overcome this imbalanced equation and find our true identity in Jesus.

In this episode, Kami and Steph dive into the swirl of voices competing for right to identify us and discover how to look to Jesus as the only true reflection of yourself. Wrapping up with examples from Romans 10 and “The Jesus-Centered Life” they share the truth the Holy Spirit provides when it comes to our identity.

Whether it’s eating the same thing over and over, or moving through the same daily routine like a zombie, or having the same argument in our head again and again, we’ve all experienced times when we’re stuck in a rut.

In the episode, Kami, Becky and Steph talk about getting stuck in the blahs, focusing on three common root causes that keep us in ruts. Wrapping up with the Apostle Paul’s challenge to find contentment even in ruts, they leave with some practical ideas and mini experiments we can all try when we want to get unstuck.

Kami, Becky and Steph want to hear your ideas for how you like to get out of rut. For instance, Kami shared about a friend who keeps a gratitude jar, fills it throughout the year, and then reads her notes on New Year’s Eve.

2 Week Jesus-Centered Diet Challenge- https://www.mylifetree.com/they-say-podcast-2-week-diet-challenge/

During this pre-spring season, talk of getting "bikini ready" starts circulating around us women folk, frequently followed by critical statements about our thighs, hips, stomachs or other less-than-flattering body parts. In other words, it's the perfect time to get real about our body image issues, and to encourage each other.

In this episode, Becky and Steph welcome blogger and author, Jami, from Sacred Ground, Sticky Floors, to talk about a recent post she wrote called "A Fat Girl's Guide to Knowing Jesus." She shares her story--and recent breakthrough--with her body image struggles, and about a new challenge she's starting on her blog in February on this topic. We can't wait to see what unfolds.
