Rooted and Raw Podcast: Rooted in Purpose, Raw in Truth

We're back to our regular programming on Rooted and Raw, and we're diving into a question that invites us to pause, reflect, and get honest with ourselves and God: What is God inviting me to release so I can walk freely into the season He's calling me to? Sometimes stepping into a new season isn't just about what we need to do or where God is leading us. It's also about what we...

Description We’re ending our Sister Collision takeover exactly how we should—with a slumber party! For this special episode, we’re going down memory lane and reminiscing about some of our favorite moments together. The funny stories, the unforgettable memories, the moments that probably didn't seem significant at the time but became part of the story of who we are together. This one is less ab...

What did community mean to you five years ago? And what does it mean to you now? As we grow, our understanding of friendship, connection, belonging, and support can change. The people we once needed around us may not be the same people we need in this season, and the way we experience community can look completely different than it did before. In this episode of the Sister Collision takeover, we’r...

What actually keeps people bonded over time? Is it shared history? Shared trauma? The memories we've created? Walking through hard seasons together? Or is there something deeper that makes certain relationships continue to grow even as life changes around us? In this Sister Collision conversation, we’re exploring the bonds that hold relationships together and what makes community last beyond a...

For this special Sister Collision takeover, we’re starting with a question that sounds simple but can be surprisingly difficult to answer: How can we support you in this season? Sometimes we know how to show up for everyone else, but struggle to name what we actually need for ourselves. In this conversation, we get honest about the different seasons we walk through, what support can look like, and...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re sitting with a question that can reveal a lot about what’s really holding us back:  What would you do if you were not afraid of failing? How many dreams have we talked ourselves out of? How many opportunities have we avoided because we were afraid of getting it wrong, being rejected, looking foolish, or not being good enough? Sometimes fear of failure can keep...

This week on Rooted and Raw , we’re asking a question that can stop you in your tracks: What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail—or if you simply weren’t afraid of failing? Fear of failure can quietly shape the decisions we make, the dreams we pursue, and even how boldly we walk in what God has called us to do. Sometimes we don't realize how much we're shrinking, settling, or playin...

This week on Rooted and Raw , we’re asking a question many believers may have wrestled with but aren't always comfortable saying out loud: Have you ever felt disappointed by God—and what did you do about it? Sometimes we pray, believe, wait, and trust—and the answer still isn't what we hoped for. Maybe the door didn't open, the healing didn't come, the relationship ended, or the se...

This week on Rooted and Raw , we’re asking a question that can bring up strong opinions, questions, and even some tension: What are the differences between a state marriage and marriage under God? What does it actually mean to be married? Is a legal marriage the same as a biblical covenant? What role does the government play, and what does God say about the covenant of marriage? And how should Chr...

We weren’t finished. Last week on  Rooted and Raw , we asked a challenging question:  Are you performing spiritually instead of being authentic?  What started as a conversation opened the door to some deeply emotional and honest moments—and we realized there was still so much more to say. So we’re continuing the conversation. In Part 2, we go deeper into the pressure to appear spiritually strong,...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re asking a question that may challenge all of us:  Are you performing spiritually instead of being authentic? It’s easy to look like we have it all together—to say the right things, show up to church, pray the prayers, know the Scriptures, and appear strong in our faith. But what happens when our outward spiritual life no longer reflects what’s really happening o...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we ask a question that invites us to examine the depth of our faith:  Do you feel like you know God right now—or do you simply know about Him? It's possible to know Scripture, attend church, and check all the spiritual boxes while still feeling distant from the One those things are meant to point us toward. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about th...

This week on Rooted and Raw, we ask a question that invites honest self-reflection: Where are you playing small in your walk with God? Fear, doubt, comfort, and insecurity can quietly keep us from fully embracing the life God has called us to live. Sometimes playing small doesn't look like saying "no" to God—it looks like settling for less than what He's inviting us into. In this...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we sit with a question that invites deep reflection:  Who am I becoming through my daily choices, and how does she reflect the woman God created me to be? The small decisions we make each day—how we speak, what we consume, where we invest our time, and how we respond to challenges—quietly shape the person we are becoming. In this episode, we explore the connection be...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we explore a question that invites honesty and self-reflection:  What does your inner dialogue sound like lately? The conversations we have with ourselves often shape how we see God, others, and our own identity. Are your thoughts filled with grace or criticism? Truth or lies? Hope or fear? In this episode, we unpack how our inner dialogue influences our daily lives...

This week on Rooted and Raw, we explore a question that many of us have wrestled with: Could what we call overthinking actually be discernment in its original form? In a world that tells us to trust our instincts and move quickly, how do we know when we're simply caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts—and when the Holy Spirit is inviting us to pause, pray, and discern? Together, we unpack the d...

We're back! This week on  Rooted and Raw , we're celebrating a new season and the Fourth of July with a conversation that invites us to reflect on the relationships that matter most. Our question is simple, yet deeply personal: What do you need more of in your relationships right now? Whether it's more grace, honesty, trust, communication, forgiveness, or simply more time together, we...

This week on Rooted and Raw, we tackle a question that many of us wrestle with in relationships, family dynamics, and even ministry: Where is the line between having grace and enabling someone? As followers of Christ, we're called to extend grace, show compassion, and love others well. But what happens when helping begins to hurt, boundaries are ignored, or our support keeps someone from takin...

We wanted to take a moment to apologize for being a little MIA lately. Life has been incredibly full for all of us behind the scenes — as mothers, wives, women, and individuals navigating different seasons of transition. If you’ve noticed fewer posts, missed weeks, or less of our usual fun shorts, please know it’s never been intentional. Life has simply been life-ing, and we know many of you under...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we sit with a simple but powerful question:  When do you feel most like yourself? In the middle of expectations, responsibilities, and everyday life, it’s easy to lose sight of who we truly are. In this episode, we reflect on the moments that bring us back to life—the spaces where we feel free, authentic, and aligned with who God created us to be. Through honest conv...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re celebrating one year of real conversations, deep faith, and growing together—and we’re marking it with a topic that hits close to home:  What does God say about my body, especially when I don’t love it? In this episode, we reflect on how far we’ve come while diving into the tension so many women feel when it comes to body image, comparison, and self-worth. Thro...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re getting real about forgiveness—especially the kind we struggle to give ourselves.  Why is it so hard to let go of what we’ve done? And how do we actually move forward? With Easter as the backdrop, we talk about the tension between knowing the truth of the cross and still feeling stuck in guilt and shame. This episode is a reminder that Jesus didn’t just die for...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re getting honest about self-reliance.  Where in your life are you trying to hold it all together instead of letting God hold you? We talk about the pressure to be strong, the exhaustion that comes with it, and the truth that we were never meant to do life on our own. This episode is a reminder that surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust. And real strength is found w...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we’re getting real about sanctification—what it is, what it isn’t, and how we actually live it out.  What does it mean to be set apart, and how do we walk that out in everyday life? In this episode, we unpack the ongoing process of becoming more like Christ—through surrender, obedience, and the quiet, daily decisions that shape our faith. We talk honestly about the t...

This week on  Rooted and Raw , we dive into a question that challenges, stretches, and refines our faith:  What does spiritual maturity actually look like in women today? In a world full of expectations, opinions, and highlight reels, we take a step back to explore what true growth in Christ really means. This episode unpacks the difference between performance and transformation, outward appearanc...
