Hearing God’s voice can be… a challenge. Knowing when to move forward or when to sit still. Discerning the BEST choice over just a good choice. Walking a God-led path for yourself, your husband, and your kids. From moving to a new house, to picking the right style of education, to the best course of discipline for a rebellious kid. How do we find ways to listen, and how do we feel God speaks to us?

Living a world that does not reflect God’s Kingdom means that we are constantly trying to re-align our thoughts and beliefs with Capital “T” Truth. Whether we learned these lies from our parents, our schools, our friends, or even well-meaning churches… we all believe certain lies about ourselves. Both as people, and as women. In this episode walk through some of those lies, reframe our beliefs, and help each other understand what it means to be women of God.

From kid-friendly drag shows to sexualized merchandise on the shelves of Target, it’s getting harder and harder to keep our children innocent. Our kids are fed sex-driven content in their cartoons, they’re delivered lingerie-wearing toys for their birthdays, and they’re taught about eroticism in their sex-ed class. What’s “too far” for us as Christ-centered moms, why do LGBTQ+ issues wrap themselves into this conversation, and where are we choosing to draw the line?

As we enter a new year and start thinking about our resolutions, goals, and hopes for 2023, we can’t help but discuss the popular idea of manifestation. New agers all over TikTok want us to believe that we can manifest anything by simply believing hard enough. But even Christians fall into similar beliefs. We hear things like “name and claim it” and wonder if that’s really as Biblical as we think. Dive into scripture with us as we discuss manifestation, prosperity gospel, and our spiritual authority as believers.

YES, we believe porn is destructive and contrary to God's best for us. But, why are we normalizing the complete demoralization and shaming of Christian brothers and sisters? Those trapped in a porn addiction need to be met with compassion, empathy, and courage. So pull up a chair and let's discuss.

In our culture, it’s assumed that if you have a brain, you’re a feminist. Who could possibly disagree with equal rights between men and women? But, is equality what we really want? Does “equality” mean “sameness”? And what has been the result of such a massive shift in cultural expectations?

Technology has transformed our lives in a matter of decades. But, the church is barely talking about what it’s doing to our humanity. Not to mention the day-to-day struggles of keeping our children safe from the wide world of destructive ideas that can be accessed through any device. How can we be “set apart” as Holy while still maintaining a connection to modern tools? And what does that look like for our kids and family?

For some of us, Christmas is stressful. For some it’s sad. And for some, it’s just a flurry of parties, baking, family adventures, and soaking in every advent moment. Today we want to share our traditions, talk through the Santa debacle, and generally just chat about Christmas.

Regardless of your upbringing, you have probably encountered a lot of strong opinions on abortion. You probably know people who volunteer for pro-life organizations, or people who have had abortions themselves. You may be someone who has counseled pregnant women out of abortion, or you may have had an abortion yourself. The thing is: this topic is CLOSE to the heart, and it hits home for so many people… and for so many reasons. 

The three of us have all come to the same conclusion about abortion: it’s murder. But we have taken different journeys to get there. Listen as we share our stories and our reasons for what we believe.

Using our She Reads Truth Bible study as a jumping-off point, we discuss prayer. Prayer is an opportunity for continuous and deep communication with God. It's a chance to express sorrow, to be angry, to intercede for those we love, and to listen for that still, small voice of the Spirit. For some of us, it's second nature. For others, it's a place that needs growth and attention. Dive into our prayer discussion. You're gonna' hate us... but you're gonna' love us.
