Between Sisters with Sisterhood.River

Today Toni, Lindsay, Krystal and Mom Lagaras (aka Barb) sat down to chat about real life using a game called Between Sundays. It was an unscripted Q&A, where we talked about all the things, from comfort foods, mastering life skills and grocery bagging to soul care, real rest and celebrating aging while not wanting to lose our youth. We hope this lightens your day, brings you joy, and ministers...

Brooke, Andrea, and Toni are chatting about everyone's favorite topic - contentment. What is it? Why does it seem elusive? What causes discontentment and what is the cure? We pray this episode helps you live content - with peace and joy that overflow.

There are some conversations that are easy and some that are messy, and this month we have a messy one for you! Toni and Sue gather us around the topic of What to do When Life is Messy. Whether the messes are self-inflicted, other's-inflicted, or life-inflicted, they are no fun. And they always require attention. Join us as we talk about how we can respond to these messes and help our sisters...

We had such a good time at our Soup & Vision night in January to kick off the New Year. Toni shared a word she had on her heart for Sisterhood for 2026 and we wanted to share it here on Between Sisters Podcast too. We don't just need a New Year's Resolution. We need a New Year's Revelation. What does God call us? Check it out.

Lori Wiebe joined Toni for the podcast this week. It's always fun to catch up with Lori, and today we chatted about Christmas. Christmases Past. Christmas Present. What we wished someone would have told us a long time ago but we're thankful to be realizing it now. Join us for a some laughter mixed with lots of wisdom as we talk about making it through the Christmas season with joy, peace...

It's that time of year again! Decorating, fa-la-la-ing, Christmas traditions and all the things. Today Toni, Tammy, Sue and Alli talk about traditions, recipes and how to navigate changing traditions when the seasons change with or without your permission.  I laughed and cried and laughed again. Grab a hot cup of tea and join us for this episode to kick off the Christmas season.

This is a hot topic these days, and not just in the church. Topics we disagree on can range from light to heavy. From whether or not you make your kids make their beds to homeschooling vs. public schooling, SAHM vs. working moms, and trick-or-treat and santa.  We are joined this week by Pastor Christine, Krystal, Alli, and Toni in this timely conversation delving into how to have holy disagreement...

Between Sisters Retreat Edition continues with Pastor Toni during our final session. The title of this session was Don’t Let Anything Take What God has Awakened. It was a powerful word about guarding the deposits God made in us over the weekend and staying awake. Staying alert. And recognizing the lies of the enemy when he comes so we can walk confidently in what God has created us for.  The retre...

We are continuing our between sisters retreat edition with this message from our Friday evening session. Our word this year was awaken and Mrs. Lori Wiebe ministered to us straight from the heart of God with a message titled The Invitation: When Ordinary Spaces Become Sacred Places, transforming us from Fine to Fierce.  Trust me girls. You're going to want to listen to this one more than once...

Welcome to Between Sisters Retreat Edition. There’s nothing like being present in the room during retreat, but we know that isn’t always possible for everyone. So we are thrilled to be able to share the audio from the sessions on the podcast, and we are starting with our Friday morning panel session, Awaken the Wonder: Finding God in Your Everyday Life.

Four words come to mind when I think of Christmas: Waiting Watching Praying Obeying In the last three weeks, we looked at Simeon waiting, the shepherds watching and Anna praying. This week we are going to look at all of the participants in the Christmas story and talk about all things obeying. It's not the normal word that comes to mind but it has everything to do with the first coming of Chr...

Merry Christmas! Or is it? Christmas isn't always a season of joy for everyone, and we live in the tension of the promise of abundant life here on earth while life feels more like a dark abyss.   How do we carry grief with us through a season of joy?  When grief is real and raw and pressing and heavy, how do we celebrate the holidays? How do you celebrate a season of joy when all you feel is...

Four words come to mind when I think of Christmas: Waiting Watching Praying Obeying In the last two weeks, we looked at Simeon waiting and the shepherds watching. This week we are going to look at Anna and talk about all things Praying. Anna? Really? There are only three verses about her in the entire Bible. What does prayer have to do with the Christmas story anyway? Does God really need us to pr...

Four words come to mind when I think of Christmas: Waiting Watching Praying Obeying Last week, we looked at Simeon and Waiting. This week we are going to look at the Shepherds and talk about all things Watching. What is it? What does it look like? Who is supposed to do the watching? What is God doing while we are watching? There really is more to watching than meets the eye. What does it look to w...

Four words come to mind when I think of Christmas: Waiting Watching Praying Obeying This week we are going to look at the Christmas story, Simeon's part in Luke 2 to be exact, and talk about all things waiting. What is it? What does it look like? What happens when we wait? What is God doing while we are waiting? And guess what - we don't even mention the word "patience" one tim...

We started a conversation today about what to do when you find yourself in a grieving season. In this life, pain is inevitable, but misery is optional. Take a listen as we dive into what to do with the pain, how to know when you need help, how to come alongside someone who is grieving, and what to do when you feel stuck. Come back next time for part 2 as we dive deeper into processing change and f...

God put a word on Pastor Toni's heart for our Sisterhood Worship night and we wanted to share it here too. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. This is a good reminder as we head into the chaotic holiday season. Let us help you take some of the pressure off yourself. Take a listen as we talk about social media, pinterest, Mary & Martha and what Pastor Toni learned the Chr...

We are so excited for you to meet our guest speaker for the 2024 Sisterhood Retreat, Rev. Jen Tringale. We talk about everything from meeting Jesus, Bible School, family and growing up in church - ALL THE THINGS! I had so much fun talking to her on today's podcast, and we just know you're going to love her. 

A few years ago, the Lord led me to get a journal and write down every verse I come across in the Word about His love for me. He told me to soak in His love for me. So I wrote them down and read them. And re-read them. And re-read them again and again and again. So, I wanted to share them with you.  Any time you feel unloved, unwanted, or unlovable, come back and listen to what the Word of God has...
