Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a tender reminder that even the encourager needs encouragement, and even the teacher needs time to rest and be poured into. I’m sharing a personal update as I step into a summer sabbatical for the rest of July—a season of soul retreat, stillness, and deeper intimacy with the Lord.

We’re also introducing a simple yet powerful tool for your quiet time: the SOAP method. As we walk through the Book of Proverbs together this month, this practice will help you reflect more deeply on Scripture—whether you’re journaling, walking, or listening on the go.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to stay spiritually grounded during busy seasons or breaks from routine, this episode will show you a grace-filled way forward. You’ll also receive a Biblical affirmation to carry in your heart this month, plus a special journal prompt to guide your time with God. Just because the podcast is pausing doesn’t mean the growth has to stop.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder to loosen our grip on our own plans and lean into the peace that comes from trusting God’s will—moment by moment. We finish our scripture study in Luke 6:46–49 with a recap of the parable of the wise and foolish builders, highlighting the difference between simply hearing God’s Word and actually living it out. We reflect on how building our lives on Christ provides unshakable strength in every storm, and how His truth is our safest foundation.

We also dive into Day 5 of the devotional Mental Health: How Are You…For Real? with a timely conversation about emotional exhaustion and divine provision. If you’ve been feeling worn out by pressure—whether from your circumstances or your thoughts—this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and receive the rest Jesus freely offers.

And in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m also sharing a free resource for those ready to explore faith-based therapy as part of their healing journey.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a gentle invitation to remember the nearness of God in seasons of sorrow and the hope we hold through Christ. We’re wrapping up our study of 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 with a powerful recap on how God comforts us in our suffering so we can extend that same comfort to others.

From personal stories of grief to timeless hymns and Scripture, this episode reminds us that we are never alone—God is the Father of compassion and the Friend who stays closer than a brother. We continue our devotional series on Friendship by reflecting on the beauty of being called a friend of God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of who Jesus is. If your heart has been aching or simply needing reassurance today, let this episode minister to you right where you are.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that our weakness is not a flaw to fix—but a place where God’s strength is beautifully revealed. We’re finishing our study of Galatians 6:7–10 with a focus on how doing good is not just encouraged, but expected of us as believers—and it’s not something we do in our own strength, but through the Spirit within us.

We also dive into Day 5 of the devotional Now and Not Yet by Ruth Chou Simons, reflecting on Paul’s thorn in the flesh from 2 Corinthians 12:7–10. Through Paul’s story, we’re reminded that our credentials and accomplishments pale in comparison to the grace and power found in Christ. In God’s Kingdom, weakness isn’t something to hide—it’s where His power shows up most.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, incapable, or like what you have isn’t enough, this episode will speak straight to your heart. Let this be your invitation to stop

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s comfort isn’t just something we receive in the highs—it’s something we lean on in the lows. We’re continuing our scripture study in 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 and talking about what it truly means to walk with God through suffering, trials, and the unexpected. Spoiler: your trials are not wasted—they carry generational impact and deep spiritual purpose.

Plus, we’re diving into Day 4 of our devotional on Friendship, exploring the concept of “The Close and the Crowds.” Jesus had compassion for the masses but also invested deeply in a small group of disciples. What does that balance look like for us today? And how do we move past labels like “introvert” or “extrovert” and simply ask God, “Who do You need me to be?” This episode is a loving nudge to open your hands, trust God’s plans, and believe—no matter what you’re facing—you’re going to make it. No doubt about it.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful invitation to move from knowing to doing. We’re closing out our study of Galatians 5:16–25 with a reflection on walking by the Spirit and allowing His fruit—love, joy, peace, and self-control—to shape our everyday lives. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the “knowing and not doing” mountain, you’re not alone—but Sis, God is calling you to take that next step in faith.

We also dive into the final part of Priscilla Shirer’s sermon “How to Never Get Angry or Bothered by Anyone,” where we talk about the real work of preparation—guarding your heart and training your spirit before conflict comes. If you’re craving peace, clarity, and consistent growth in your faith walk, this episode is your reminder that emotional strength is built in the quiet, surrendered moments. It’s time to stop scrambling for peace when the pressure hits and start living rooted in it—on purpose, every single day.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that walking by the Spirit changes everything—from the way we respond to disrespect to the way we carry ourselves in hard conversations. We dive into Galatians 5:16-25 and reflect on what it truly means to live by the Spirit and bear His fruit daily. As we continue our devotional discussion based on Priscilla Shirer’s message “How to Never Get Angry or Bothered by Anyone,” we pause to explore how our identity in Christ cancels the need to prove ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to clap back, defend your worth, or prove your value to others, this episode will gently walk you back to the truth: your identity is hidden in Christ. You’re not on trial. Heaven has already spoken over your life. Let today’s episode lead you into a place of “Godfidence”—living boldly, but humbly, because of whose you are. We close with a journal prompt and prayer that will help you anchor this truth in your heart.
