AS YOU ARE PODCAST

We’re continuing our series on Faith in College, and today we’re talking about body image, comparison, reputation, materialism - the voices that have a starring role in our culture. Let’s be honest, life as college women is full of pressure in each of these areas. We’re going to look at part of John 15, and draw from some personal experiences to remind you that whose voice you’re listening to dete...

We’re spending 5 weeks talking about how to live out your faith in college. You guys submitted questions on instagram, and we’re responding to them using one of our favorite passages from the Bible: John 15-16. Today we’re talking about growing our faith in college, and how important community is in that process.

We’re starting a new series about what it looks like to follow Jesus in college. You guys submitted a bunch of awesome questions on instagram and we are going to take you through John 15-16 and run each question through Jesus’ words to find answers, joy, and hope. This week we’re focusing on the most important question we got: how to study the Bible

It’s our last week in the book of James! We’re talking about Chapter 5 today - looking at James’ warning about putting our hope material things, his advice for how to be faithfully patient while we wait on God, and an encouragement to pray powerfully in all situations.

We’re in week 5 of James, and today it’s all about wisdom. James points out that there are two types of wisdom - one from the world and one from the Word. He shows us how to check our hearts and return to God’s wisdom when we’ve gotten off-path. This week is practical and so helpful.

It’s our 4th week in the book of James, and it has been so applicable and helpful studying this with you girls! Today we’re talking through the end of Chapter 2 and first half of Chapter 3 - specifically how faith produces good works in our lives and how important it is to control what we say.

It’s week 3 of our study on the book of James and today we’re looking at chapter 1:19-27 and chapter 2:1-13. Today’s episode takes a closer look at what it means to be doers of the word and “tame” our tongues, and how God feels about us judging others. This week is incredibly convicting, in the most helpful and positive way.

We’re in the middle of a study on the extremely powerful book of James. Today we’re diving into the second half of Chapter 1, focusing on what James means when he warns against double-mindedness and on the difference between trials and temptation.

Happy New Year! We’re excited to kick off this year talking about prayer, and specifically looking at a format that Jesus gave His disciples, teaching them to pray in a whole new way from what they had been doing before.

It’s the last Sunday of Advent (which also happens to fall on Christmas Eve this year). Come celebrate the LOVE that God shows all of us in sending His son, Jesus.

Today we celebrate advent JOY. Join us for the third week of advent as we take a closer look at the story of the shepherds, and dive a little into King David and why his story is so unique.

It’s week two of Advent, and we are talking about the “Bethlehem Candle” which signifies the journey Mary & Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem before Jesus was born. Now that we know the whole story, we can celebrate the time of waiting for our savior to be born & there is so much peace in knowing what all His birth would bring!

Join us as we kick off the Advent season by looking closer at the fulfilled promises of God and the hope we have in Jesus.

Join us for a few moments of scripture reading and a guided gratitude prayer

This woman from the old testament is one of the most interesting people & we’re so excited to study her and talk about her story today on the podcast! Not only do we look at Deborah’s faithfulness, we also talk about several take-aways for how to practically walk with God and obey His calling on our lives.

Anna shares from Luke 8. In this story Jesus meets two people from incredibly opposite walks of life, but who both need healing and seek help from Him. It’s so beautiful to see His response. Anna tells us about her senior year of college when she was diagnosed with some CRAZY illnesses, and what it looks like to trust Jesus when things don’t go according to plan. Live from University of North Caro...

Do you have an idea in your head of how God will respond to you when you come to Him? in Luke 15 Jesus tells a story that paints a picture of the Father’s heart towards us, whether we have gone astray and come back, or stay near to Him. Audrey Gabrielsen (UGA Bible Study leader) shares from this passage and you don’t want to miss this!

Caroline Young shares a hopeful and inspiring message about what it looks like to claim who God says that we are in Him. Live from the As You Are worship night at Alabama (Fall 2023). Don’t allow outside voices define you when God has already called you chosen, loved, & His.

Live from our fall worship night at Clemson. Anna shares from John 8:1-11 - the story about the woman caught in adultery. This passage really reveals the heart of Jesus for us - his grace and kindness, and also his desire for us to walk on the path that leads to life.

We’re wrapping up our mini study on the Beatitudes! These last 3 are important and hopeful - blessed are the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness sake. In this final episode we talk about how to identify idols in our lives, how to initiate peace in our relationships and how even Jesus knew that this path couldn’t be done without Him, and what it looks like...

We’re studying the Sermon on the Mount! More specifically, the first 12 verses of it (Matthew 5:1-12). We believe this is so important to dive in on, and you’ll be blown away by the impact these 12 simple verses can have on your walk with Jesus. Today we study “blessed are the meek”, “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness”, and “blessed are the merciful”.

We are going to spend the next 3 weeks talking about the first 12 verses of Jesus’ longest recorded sermon - the sermon on the mount. You can find the whole thing in Matthew 5-7, but the first 12 verses of chapter 5 are really special. They detail what it looks like to truly “enter the kingdom of God”, or become a Christian. Scholars call this section the “Beatitudes”, and we’re excited to study J...

Emily & Anna wrap up the series by first recapping their favorites from the interview with Brookes and then talking about their own relationships with body image, health, and how to see all of it through the lens of our relationship with Christ. ***the story of the Prodigal Son is in Luke 15

To celebrate 5 years on the UGA campus, we asked Hannah Brencher - a writer that we love - to come speak at our fall worship night. She read a passage from Jeremiah 29, and spoke about what it looks like to seek God to find what really matters. You don’t want to miss this.
