Flourishing isn’t about perfect conditions—it’s about deep roots. In this episode, host Christine Caine takes you behind the heart of her Bible Study, Flourishing, born out of her travels to olive farms around the world and years of studying every mention of olive trees in Scripture.

SHOW NOTES: The Olive Tree and a Life That Lasts Christine shares how studying olive trees around the world led her to uncover profound biblical truths about resilience, longevity, and spiritual health. Grafted Into God’s Family Drawing from Romans and her own adoption story, Christine explains what it means to be grafted into God’s family—and how this truth anchors our identity in a fractured world. Flourishing in the Midst of Darkness Through the story of David hiding in a cave and declaring “I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God,” Christine shows how flourishing is possible even in hardship. The Oil Comes From the Pressing Christine unpacks how olive oil—used throughout Scripture as a symbol of anointing—only comes through pressing, and what this reveals about trials and spiritual growth. Branches of Peace in a World of Division From Noah’s olive branch to the United Nations emblem, Christine explores how peace flows from abiding in Jesus—and how believers can be peacemakers in a polarized world.

Using What You’ve Got to Share the Gospel From spoken word poetry to teaching and training leaders, Hosanna unpacks how God uses the language and gifts you already have to bring people closer to Him. The Underground Lesson Every Leader Needs Hosanna explains what slam poetry taught her about leadership—don’t try to impress other leaders; communicate hope to the ones who’ve never heard it before.

The Danger of Entitled Leadership Entitlement can come from ego or insecurity. Donna explains why recognizing leadership as a sacred trust changes how we lead and serve. Discovering the “Smart” God Gave You You don’t need to sound like anyone else. Donna encourages women to uncover their unique gifts and stop comparing their voice to someone else’s.

Discipline Over Hustle Jackie Hill Perry gets honest about pruning fruitful things, not just broken ones. Sometimes surrender means letting go of good things for God things.

Whether you're in a season of transition, waiting, or wondering what’s next, this episode will equip and encourage you to embrace your God-given calling with clarity and confidence. Calling Is a Relationship, Not Just a Role Dr. Arianna Molloy shares how true calling is anchored in relationship with the Caller, not just what we do—and how this keeps us grounded and joyful over time. The Hidden Cost of Calling Dr. Molloy explains why people who feel called are also most prone to burnout—and how to pursue a healthy, sustainable version of calling that doesn’t sacrifice your soul. Mission in the Marketplace April Stallworth speaks powerfully about recognizing your workplace as a mission field and bringing Christ’s presence with you, even when you can’t speak His name out loud. Obedience Opens Doors Christine Caine reflects on her earliest years in ministry and how simply showing up with a willing heart set the trajectory for everything that followed. It’s Not About Being the Best—It’s About Being Available Christine challenges the myth that you must be the most qualified to be used by God. What matters most is your availability, not your résumé.

If you’ve ever longed for growth, clarity, and deep spiritual community—this episode is for you. SHOW NOTES: The Heart Behind Propel Cohorts Christine shares how years of global ministry and a hunger to mentor led to the creation of Propel Cohorts, a space that integrates leadership, spiritual formation, Scripture, and calling. Mentorship That Leads to Jesus, Not to Imitation Christine opens up about her own journey of mentorship and how true spiritual leaders point you toward Christ, not themselves. A Place for Every Woman Whether you’re a college student, stay-at-home mom, CEO, or ministry leader—Christine unpacks how Propel Cohorts are designed for women in every sphere. The Holy Spirit Still Leads This isn’t just a leadership program—it’s about cultivating a life that’s deeply rooted in the Spirit and formed through obedience.

In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with Alicia Britt Chole for a profound conversation on spiritual formation, leadership, and staying faithful through the night seasons. Alicia shares how she, as a former atheist, became a passionate follower of Jesus, learned to linger in Scripture, and why so many leaders fall short—not for lack of passion, but lack of depth. If you’ve ever wrestled with burnout, grief, or disillusionment in your faith, this episode offers hope, truth, and a deeply needed reminder: Jesus is with us in the dark. SHOW NOTES: From Atheist to Disciple Alicia shares her radical encounter with Jesus and how her love for Scripture began the moment she believed. The Word Is Alive—So Don’t Just Read It, Relate to It She describes how lingering in just a few words of Scripture can lead to spiritual awakening and deeper intimacy with Jesus. Why Leaders Are Falling—and What We Can Learn They unpack the growing trend of spiritual burnout and moral failure in leadership, and how depth and honesty are crucial for longevity. What We Do with Conviction Matters Most Alicia reminds us that the Holy Spirit is always working, but it’s our response to His conviction that shapes our future. The Night Is Normal—And Jesus Is in the Middle of It They explore what it means to find Jesus in suffering, how to process church hurt, and why shared pain with Christ becomes holy ground.
