Her Portion

Today we close the final chapter of the Her Portion podcast. After much prayer, we believe the Lord has finished the work He called us to do in this season. In this episode, each host shares her farewell and how you can continue to connect with her through social media. Our episodes will remain up, and we pray they continue to be a source of truth, hope, and strength in your walk with Christ.

Happy Thanksgiving (each chapter of Colossians mentions giving thanks)!  Our testimony--the way we walk and talk--matters and we should consider that in all our interactions with others. We must recognize that the way we behave and speak is all a reflection on the LORD Jesus Christ. We are either actively drawing others to Christ or becoming an excuse for why they would push Him away.  Join Crysta...

Legalism has plagued churches of today having people stooped in religion over understanding the context of the gospel and what faith in Christ and a relationship with Him means.  Paul explains this over and over again to the church, but it can be hard to see or understand when you feel as if the whole Bible is written to you. The whole Bible is written for us, but not to us. Many of our churches t...

The lie that is tackled today is "It All Depends On Me!" Our failures often arise because we believe the lie that everything won't get done unless WE do it. As a helpmeet we know it's our responsibility to be a helper, but God desires to be a help to the helper. We just need to let God do His job in our life.  Today's guest speaker is Faith Gelsthorpe, co-founder of LOST H...

As a young person, I really struggled with insecurities. I second guessed myself for everything. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self how much value that God saw in me instead of looking for validation from everyone else or in all the ways I could push myself to be better in order to prove my worth. There were many lies I believed even of God and His Word that were also not true. I hope...

What a way to end the book of Philippians! Paul wrote Philippians from PRISON, and yet he talks more about joy and peace than anything else.  If he can do that from a cell, we can learn to do it from our laundry piles and carpool lines. This episode will remind you that peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances… it’s found in the God who rules them. Connect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE !

Paul had it all together when it came to “godliness.” He talks about knowing the law inside and out, and he was blameless; he had the best reputation in a religious sense.  Yet, in context Paul tells us he puts all of that behind him for the mission that God had before him- to reach us messy Gentiles with the true message of the cross, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is enough.  Listen to this e...
