Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a call to commit everything—your plans, your desires, your family, your future—into the hands of the Lord, trusting that He will help you. We’re beginning our study in Psalm 37:5–9, a wisdom psalm written later in David’s life, reminding us that God’s Word can be trusted. As David testifies, when we delight in the Lord, He not only shapes the desires of our heart but also helps us live in the security of His guidance. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means for God to give you the desires of your heart, this passage will help clarify that it’s not about wish-fulfillment, but about transformation—God placing His desires within us as we delight in Him. We’re also wrapping up Day 7 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, with a powerful reflection from Philippians 2. This final devotional reminds us of the unexpected joy that comes through dying to self. Our insecurities and failures point us to the truth that we were never meant to carry the weight of the world—only God can do that. In surrender, humility, and “smallness,” we discover the true freedom that Christ offers. If you’ve been striving, comparing, or feeling like you’re not enough, this episode will help you rest in the joy of letting go and letting God be God. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a call to step back from the noise of vanity and return our gaze to God’s beauty. We’re reflecting on Psalm 37:5–9 and Psalm 27:4, leaning into the truth that our worth isn’t found in comparison or outward appearances, but in who God created us to be. Together, we’ll walk through Day 6 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, uncovering how even good things—like our appearance—can become consuming when misplaced. We’ll also explore how vanity shows up in subtle ways for believers, from overspending and comparison to seeking validation outside of Christ, and how to realign our hearts with God’s vision for our lives. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurities or felt distracted by the pressure to measure up, this conversation will help you find freedom in God’s reminder: you are good because He declared it so. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a steadying reminder to fix our eyes on Jesus in a world full of waves. We finish our study of Jeremiah 1:4–8, remembering that before Jeremiah ever felt ready, God knew him, set him apart, and appointed him—and then commanded, “Do not be afraid… for I am with you and will rescue you.” When fear, anxiety, or the headlines pull us under, we return to the unchanging Word and the presence of Christ who never leaves us (see also Rom. 12:15).  We then move into Day 5 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You alongside 2 Corinthians 3:18, exploring the dangers of image management—especially in family life. Instead of treating loved ones as mirrors for our fears or aspirations, we release them to be who God created them to be and step into a mission bigger than appearances: loving God and others. If you’ve been craving a grace-filled reset and a steadier rhythm with the Lord, this conversation will help you lift your gaze from self to Jesus and walk in the freedom of being transformed into His image. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a special Thankful Thursday reminder of how precious life truly is. September 11th shaped my perspective on gratitude, family, and friendships in a way I’ll never forget. It’s a call to pause, to appreciate the gift of each day, and to live with a heart of thankfulness. Together we’ll reflect on Jeremiah 1:7–8, anchoring in the truth that God has chosen and equipped us, and that we don’t have to live in fear—because He is with us. We’ll also continue into Day 4 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, where we’re reminded to shift our gaze from ourselves to the One who truly sustains us. If you’ve been wrestling with fear, insecurity, or the weight of the world, this episode will lift your heart back to the joy and freedom we have in Jesus. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ It’s midweek check-in time! Today, we’re in Jeremiah 1:4–8, we’re reminded that God formed us, called us, and equipped us long before we ever felt “ready.” Yet, just like Jeremiah, we often find ourselves making excuses, clinging to comfort, or magnifying our flaws instead of trusting His strength. In Day 3 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, we uncover how self-preoccupation can leave us more insecure than ever. The world says, “Look inward.” But Scripture calls us to lift our eyes and fix our gaze on Jesus (Proverbs 4:25). True freedom isn’t found in affirmations about ourselves—it’s found in living fully for Him. If you’ve been caught in the cycle of self-focus, today’s conversation will help you release that burden and walk in the joy of being anchored in God’s truth.  🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode reminds us that God’s call on our lives is not dependent on what we think we can or cannot do, but on the One who equips and sends us. In Jeremiah 1:4–8, we see God reassuring Jeremiah—young and unsure—that he was known, set apart, and appointed before he was even formed in the womb. That same truth covers you too, Sis: you are chosen, set in this time and place, and fully equipped for God’s purpose. We also continue with Day 2 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, where we unpack the “mirror reflex.” Too often we look to people, possessions, or positions to reflect back our worth—and when they fail, our hearts spiral. But scripture reminds us that idols cannot give life, and when we let them shape our identity, we end up empty. The invitation today is to release false mirrors and fix our gaze on the God who made us in His image. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by expectations or distracted by how others see you, this conversation is for you. Take a pause, do a soul check, and let God reframe your reflection in Him. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that prayer is never wasted, even when it feels like God already has everything figured out. We introduce our weeks’ scripture study from Jeremiah 1:4–8 and also begin our new devotional, Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, with a powerful truth: life is not about us—it’s all about Him. If you’ve ever wrestled with whether your prayers really matter or carried the heavy weight of being the “main character” in your story, this conversation will bring freedom. Together, we’ll explore how shifting our focus off ourselves and onto God lifts the burden of performance, people-pleasing, and rejection, leading us to a peace only He can give. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that we don’t have to live in the rush of the world or carry the weight of our worries alone. In 1 Peter 5:6–7, Peter calls us to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand and cast every care on Him—because He truly cares for us. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to release our anxieties like a fisherman casting a net, trusting that God not only receives them but has the power to lift us up in His perfect timing. We’ll also walk through Day 3 of I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t by Lysa TerKeurst, where we’re invited to see suffering not as a reason to doubt God’s goodness, but as an opportunity to bow in humility and draw closer to Him. If you’ve been longing for peace in the midst of sorrow, this conversation will remind you that God’s way and God’s timing are always rooted in love. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that we don’t have to carry anxiety, fear, or the weight of the unknown on our own. In 1 Peter 5:6–7, Peter invites us to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand and to cast every care on Him—because He truly cares for us. Together, we’ll explore what it means to actively release our worries to God instead of claiming them as “ours,” and how community and prayer can help us experience the freedom Christ died to give us. We’ll also continue with Day 2 of I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t by Lysa TerKeurst. Today’s devotional in Esther 7 points to the truth that just when it looks like evil is winning, God is still at work. From Haman’s downfall to the resurrection of Jesus, we see that even the enemy’s schemes cannot stop God’s redemptive plan. Evil is in the process of being defeated, and because of Jesus, we can trust that victory is already secured. If you’ve ever wrestled with worry, wondered if your prayers matter, or felt like the darkness was winning, this episode will remind you that God reigns. He loves you, He sees you, and He is working behind the scenes in ways you cannot yet see. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a heart check-in on what it really means to trust God with open hands instead of clinging tightly to our own outcomes. We’re beginning in 1 Peter 5:6–11, where Peter reminds us to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand and to cast all our cares on Him—because He cares for us. From Peter’s perspective as one who walked with Jesus, we learn that true humility is not weakness, but strength under control, and it positions us to receive God’s grace in His perfect timing. We’ll also start Day 1 of a brand-new devotional by Lysa TerKeurst, I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t. Her reflection in Proverbs 3:5–6 challenges us to see how often we tie trust to our desire for things to turn out our way. Through vivid images of trees with shallow roots and ants that slowly hollow them out, we’re reminded that faith is built not in easy seasons, but in preparing deep roots for the inevitable storms. Sis, God’s call is clear: hold loosely to what we think we need most, and instead rest in the peace that comes from trusting Him fully. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, shallow roots, or the weight of wanting control, this episode will encourage you to release your plans and live out the declaration: Open Hands to God’s Plans.   🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a gentle but needed reminder that God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s inviting us to humble ourselves under His mighty hand and trust His timing. We’re beginning our study of 1 Peter 5:6–11, soaking in the call to cast our cares on Him, stay alert, resist the enemy, and rest in the promise that the God of all grace will restore and strengthen us. You’ll also hear a biblical affirmation drawn from this passage to carry with you through the week. From there, I share a heart-to-heart about how perfectionism often disguises itself as control—and how last week’s Identity devotional (North Point Community Church) convicted me afresh about people-pleasing. We look to Hebrews 11 and the faith of Noah, Abraham, and Moses to see what obedience over perfection really looks like in real life. If you’ve felt stuck waiting for the “perfect” moment or fearful of getting it wrong, this conversation will help you release control, choose obedience, and walk by faith—one surrendered step at a time. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is the beginning of a very personal story—the testimony behind the For the Soul prayer journal. We’ll reflect on what it means when God’s most loving answer to our prayers is “wait,” and how His timing is always tied to His heart for us. Looking back over the last five years, I share how the Lord built character, consistency, and trust in my life before bringing this journal to reality. As we walk through 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 together—“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances”—you’ll see how habits like writing out prayers, starting with gratitude, and leaning into community shaped my journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a waiting season, this episode will remind you that God is always moving in the background, preparing the right time for His plans to unfold. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a much-needed reminder that our worth is not in our perfection, but in Christ alone. We’re finishing our study of Galatians 1:6–10, pausing on Paul’s powerful words in verse 10 about living for God’s approval instead of people’s applause. Alongside this, we close out the devotional Identity by North Point Community Church with the beautiful truth from Ephesians 2:8—that we are saved by grace, not by works, and we don’t have to earn God’s love by appearing flawless. If you’ve ever wrestled with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the weight of feeling like you’re never enough, this episode will encourage you to rest in the freedom of God’s grace. You’ll be reminded that your value and security aren’t found in how well you perform or how polished your life looks, but in being a beloved child of God. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that our worth is not found in people’s approval, but in God’s calling over our lives. We’re continuing our study of Galatians 1:6–10, reflecting on Paul’s bold words about standing firm in the truth of the gospel—even when it stirs opposition. Alongside this, we’re walking through Day 4 of the devotional Identity by North Point Community Church, which challenges us to examine our motives in serving and remember that we are called to please God, not people. If you’ve ever felt the pull of people-pleasing, or found yourself fueled more by applause than by God’s purpose, this episode will encourage you to pause and realign your heart. We’ll be reminded that our value is already secure in Christ and that true freedom comes when we serve with Him at the center. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a mid-week reminder that wisdom isn’t just what we know—it’s what we live out. We’re continuing our study of Galatians 1:6–10 with a focus on verse 7, where Paul warns that any teaching that shifts our eyes off of Christ and onto works or human effort is not the gospel at all. Together, we’ll reflect on how easily confusion can creep in when we aren’t anchored in God’s Word—and why discernment matters so deeply in our walk with Him. We’re also leaning into Day 3 of the devotional Identity by North Point Community Church, where we’re reminded that our true value doesn’t come from being right but from a humble dependence on God. If you’ve ever struggled with pride, people-pleasing, or the burden of always needing to win the argument, this episode will encourage you to surrender that weight, embrace humility, and remember that your worth is secure in Christ alone. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.  🙏 Want to take the next step in your walk with God?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ We’re beginning our study of Galatians 1:6–10 and reflecting on Paul’s bold reminder to stay rooted in the true gospel, not a distorted one. Alongside this, we’re diving into Day 2 of the devotional Identity by North Point Community Church, where we’re reminded that because of Jesus, we are enough. If you’ve ever felt like your prayer life doesn’t measure up—or that you’ll never be “good enough” to pray like others do—this episode will encourage you to take the pressure off and simply start where you are.

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a fresh reminder that any day is the right day to begin again with God. We’re stepping into Galatians 1:6–10 and reflecting on what it means to anchor our identity in Christ rather than in the opinions of others. Alongside this study, we’re also leaning into Proverbs 19:21 and the devotional Identity by North Point Community Church—where we’re reminded that we don’t need to be in control, because God already is. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by people-pleasing, drained by false expectations, or exhausted from trying to control every detail of life, this episode will encourage you to release that burden and rest in God’s unlimited perspective. Together, we’ll explore how surrendering control is not weakness but freedom, and why His purpose always prevails—even when our plans don’t. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week. 🙏 Want to support this podcast and help it reach more hearts?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a call to refocus our hearts and recognize the power of gratitude and obedience in our walk with Christ. We’re closing out Matthew 16:24–27, reflecting on what it really means to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. From surrendering our comfort to gaining the true life He promises, we’re reminded that nothing this world offers is worth the cost of our soul. Jesus’ words challenge us to examine where our priorities lie and invite us to live with eternity in view. We’re also stepping into Day 5 of What It Means to Obey God by John Bevere, where we see that partial obedience isn’t obedience at all. King Saul’s story reminds us how easy it is to lean on our own wisdom, but Jesus models perfect faithfulness—even to the point of the cross. As we fix our eyes on Him, we’re strengthened to finish what God calls us to with endurance and joy. This episode will encourage you to not only begin in obedience but to complete it, trusting that God’s reward is far greater than anything this world can offer. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week. 🙏 Want to support this podcast and help it reach more hearts?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode reminds us that following Jesus often means surrendering comfort for something far greater: His eternal reward. We’re diving into Matthew 16:24–27, where together, we reflect on what it means to prioritize Him above the temporary gains of money, pleasure, and power, and how easily our hearts can be distracted if we’re not rooted in His Word. We’re also continuing into day 4 of our devotional What It Means to Obey God by John Bevere, with a powerful reminder that obedience doesn’t always feel good—but it is always worth it. Looking at the example of Jesus in Gethsemane, we see that even in the midst of anguish and suffering, His submission to the Father’s will brought salvation for us all. If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God when obedience feels uncomfortable or costly, this episode will encourage you to lean on His strength and believe that He never wastes your pain. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week. 🙏 Want to support this podcast and help it reach more hearts?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is an invitation to pause in the middle of your week and truly check in with yourself—your head, your heart, and your soul. We’re stepping into Matthew 16:24–27 and leaning into verse 25, where Jesus reminds us that whoever tries to save their life will lose it, but whoever lays it down for His sake will find true life. Together, we reflect on what it means to release our grasp on comfort, control, and self-preservation in order to walk fully in the abundant life He offers. We’re also continuing day 3 of our devotional, What It Means to Obey God by John Bevere, with a powerful reminder that obedience isn’t about personal benefit—it’s about reverence, trust, and surrender to God’s greater wisdom. If you’ve ever wrestled with the question, “What’s in it for me?” when it comes to following God’s commands, today’s reflection will encourage you to shift your perspective from outcomes to obedience. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week. 🙏 Want to support this podcast and help it reach more hearts?
