If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of this conversation, we encourage you to start there first!

In this episode, we continue our devotional on God's Will.

We talk about what gets in the way of our joy and gratitude — how life’s disappointments, unanswered prayers, and heartache can test our trust in God’s will. Chrissie shares a personal story of prayer in the hospital, and we reflect on what it means to trust God even when His answers don’t align with our desires.

We also unpack the “safety nets” we tend to cling to - our idols of control, comfort, or security — and what it looks like to surrender them to the One who sustains us.

As we close this two-part conversation, we’re reminded that God’s will is not a person, place, or process — it’s a posture of the heart. A daily invitation to rejoice, pray, and give thanks, trusting that He is good and His purposes are perfect.

Referenced Scripture: Psalm 115, Psalm 116, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

What is God’s will — and how can we know it?

In this week’s devotional episode, we talk about what God’s will isn’t — it’s not random, a lottery ticket, or something hidden — and what it is: His sovereign plan, His revealed truth in Scripture, and His desire for us to walk in obedience and trust.

We also unpack what it means to trust God’s plan when life doesn’t go as we expected, and how surrendering our own will leads to deeper faith and peace.

Join us as we seek to understand and live out the will of God in our everyday lives.

Scriptures referenced: Psalm 33:11, Isaiah 46:9, Luke 10:26–27, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Proverbs 3:5–6, and more.

In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking some of the biggest hot topics right now—Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters, Charlie Kirk’s legacy, and the latest rapture predictions. What do all of these have in common? They force us to wrestle with good, evil, and the gift of free will. At the end of the day, what we do with that free will matters—and it points us back to God as the ultimate standard of truth.

But here’s the real question: Are you ready for heaven? And if you knew your time was short, are you living in a way that reflects it?

Should Christians do yoga? It’s a question many are asking, especially as yoga has become so popular in schools, gyms, and wellness spaces. At first glance, it looks like harmless stretching—but what are the spiritual roots behind it, and why should believers be cautious?

In this episode, we’re joined by Lindsay, a Pilates instructor who once practiced yoga but felt convicted to step away. She shares her journey, why Pilates offers a safer alternative, and how we can care for our bodies while protecting our spirits.

If you’ve ever wondered about yoga’s true origins—or whether Christians can separate the exercise from its spiritual side—this conversation will equip and encourage you.

✨ Tune in and discover a better way forward.

In this special catch-up episode, Chrissie and Keryn open their hearts about the past few months — the loss of a beloved grandmother, the beauty of seeing God at work in Thailand, wrestling with fear, longing for heaven, lessons in waiting, and even a surprising look at spiritual battles in pop culture.

This isn’t a “topic episode” — it’s an open door into our lives and what God is teaching us right now. Our prayer is that somewhere in these stories, questions, and little God-moments, you’ll find encouragement, perspective, and maybe even a fresh desire to lean into Him in your own season.

Fear is something we all face—but what if there’s a deeper purpose in it? In this episode, Chrissie and Keryn open up about their own struggles with fear, from everyday anxieties to moments when it felt impossible to trust. Together, they explore what Scripture says about both Godly and ungodly fear, why fear is as much a heart issue as it is a mind battle, and how we can surrender it to the One who holds our future.

With biblical truths, personal stories, and practical steps, you’ll be encouraged to examine your own fears, replace them with God’s promises, and step forward in courage. Because fear doesn’t have the final word—God does.

What we say matters—and it reveals far more than we think.

In this episode, we unpack how the words we speak are a direct reflection of what’s going on in our hearts. Inspired by the devotional Beholding and Becoming, we explore the power of the tongue, how our speech shapes the world around us, and what it means to speak from an overflow of Jesus.

From idle comments to life-giving encouragement, our words carry weight—and eternal significance. We talk about the heart behind the words, the need for Holy Spirit transformation, and how true maturity is revealed in how (and when) we speak.

If you’ve ever wished you could take words back, struggled with saying the right thing, or wondered how to honour God with your conversations, this one is for you.

🎙 Tune in for stories, honest reflection, and a challenge that will make you think twice about your everyday speech.

Let’s behold Jesus in our words—and become more like Him in the way we speak.

Have you ever walked through a season that felt like a spiritual desert—dry, isolating, and heavy with questions? In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode of With Purpose Podcast, we’re joined by Alison Hallet as she shares her powerful story of walking through a year of physical illness, emotional exhaustion, and spiritual dryness... and how God met her in it all.

From critically low iron levels to overwhelming anxiety, from the loss of spiritual wonder to a renewed awe in God’s Word—Ali takes us on a journey through pain, fear, and ultimately, restoration. This conversation will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like they were holding on by a thread, wondering if God sees them in their brokenness.

Together, we talk about:

• What happens when our spiritual tanks run dry
• How God uses the wilderness to refine and reshape us
• The lies we believe in our vulnerability—and the truth that anchors us
• Why Jesus is not just a distant Savior, but a present help who understands suffering
• And how even in the hardest places, God is working purpose in the desert

Ali’s vulnerability, wisdom, and faith will stir your heart and remind you that God does not waste our wilderness. He is the lifter of your head, the healer of your heart, and the One who walks with you, even when the path is unclear.

What anxieties are you holding onto? What fears are you carrying alone? This week, we challenge you to intentionally bring them before the Lord—day by day, moment by moment— and trust that your help comes from Him. (Psalm 121)
