This week, the girls take a break from the deep dives and lean into an armor off, rapid-fire girl chat answering a mix of questions with honesty, humor, and zero overthinking.

In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, the girls talk about gentleness and self-control , the fruit that shapes how we respond when we could react, and how we carry strength without causing harm. They unpack how gentleness isn’t weakness but a reflection of Christ’s character, and how self-control isn’t abou...

🍇 Fruit doesn’t come from striving, it comes from abiding. We’re kicking off a brand-new series on the Fruit of the Spirit by starting where Jesus started: abiding . In this episode, the girls slow way down and talk about what it really means to remain connected to Christ. Not performing for Him, not producing on demand, but living rooted in Him as the true Vine.

✨ This isn’t a resolution, it’s a revelation. As the new year begins, the girls take a different approach than the usual “new year, new you” mindset.

They talk about the difference between self-made change and Spirit-led tr...

🎄 Christmas didn’t start in a manger, it started with a promise. This week, the girls slow down and dig deep into the story behind the season by tracing the genealogy of Jesus on both His earthly parents’ sides.

Fasten Your Faith: Standing Firm in God’s Truth This week, we step into the armory and pick up the very first piece of God’s armor: the Belt of Truth. Not the cute Target belt. Not the “truth that feels true today.” The real, unshakeable, holds-your-whole-life-together truth of God. In this episode, we talk about why Paul started with this piece, how the enemy bends truth just enough to make it be...
