Going There in Conversations with Christian Women

Going There is officially going on vacation for the summer! In this episode of GT, we share why we’re taking a break over the next few months to rest, spend intentional time with family, recalibrate, and get reenergized for what’s ahead. While we joke about our “summer vacation,” we also believe there’s real value in stepping back and creating space to be refreshed. Join us back in September 2026...

Have you ever felt distant from God and wondered where He went? In this episode, we talk honestly about spiritual dry spells, seasons where faith feels quiet, prayer feels hard, and God seems distant. We share personal experiences, biblical encouragement, and practical ways to stay rooted even when your feelings don’t match your faith. If you’re walking through a distant season, this conversation...

What happens when your faith begins to shape your life in deeper ways—and your friendships start to feel different because of it? In this episode, we talk honestly about the beauty and tension that can come with growing in your relationship with Christ. From shifting priorities to unexpected distance (and surprising new connections), we explore both the hard and the hopeful parts of friendship in...

Meet Claire DeLay—foster, bio, and adoptive mom, business owner, wife, and friend. In this week’s episode, we hear more of Claire’s story and how Christ has led her and her husband in Oklahoma.

Do you ever feel stuck in hurt, replaying what someone said or did, unsure how to actually move forward? In this episode, we sit down with Yana Jenay Conner, author of Living Beyond Offense, to talk about the real, often messy work of forgiveness.

Do you ever feel caught between wanting to live for Jesus and the constant pressure to focus on yourself—your image, your success, your worth? In this episode, we sit down with Morgan Krueger, author of Made to Magnify, to talk honestly about that tension and how it quietly shapes our lives. Morgan shares how a self-focused mindset can leave us feeling anxious and unfulfilled, and instead invites...

Today, we are exploring the art of intentional conversation and why it matters as Christians. We talk about moving beyond surface-level small talk and learning how to ask meaningful questions, listen well, and create space for real connection. Intentional conversations can deepen relationships, strengthen community, and reflect Christ in the way we engage with others. We hope this conversation lea...

What does true surrender to God's Word look like & why sometimes does it feel so challenging? This week, we are discussing out this true and active surrender shapes our faith in everyday life. Through honest conversation, we unpack the difference between simply knowing Scripture and actually letting it transform us. If you’ve ever wrestled with trust, control, or obedience, this episode is for you...

Grace. A word that is thrown around lightly, and although wonderful, in our humanness we often get it wrong. Without grace we are stuck in the turmoil of shame spiraling. With grace, we are made new. Join us as we unpack the gospel picture of grace—one that not only forgives us completely but also transforms our lives. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, performance, or what grace actually means,...

Join us as we explore the tension between fear and security, and how misunderstandings about God’s love often lead us toward a skewed version of this belief. In this conversation we unpack the good news of the gospel—that God’s love is both unconditional and transformative. We talk honestly about digging up past wounds and working through them so we can begin to experience His love in a deeper, he...

You've accept Jesus as your Savior and now what? How are you growing and how are you changing? Maybe you feel like God already did all of the work so there's no need for you to change, or maybe you feel like you must check the items off of a list to "be a good Christian". Whatever way you think about it, we are here to discuss how the gospel truth takes our comfort and transforms it into becoming...

In a world that tells us partial obedience is “good enough,” we’re digging in to what Scripture says and why obedience isn’t about rules—it’s about relationship.

Why is it so hard to say no, set boundaries, or disappoint people—even when we know what God is calling us to do?

We unpack the heart behind approval-seeking, how it quietly shapes our decisions, and what Scripture says about living a life that pleases God. Cravi...

Life rarely comes together the way we expect. Having hope in that confusion can feel messy, fragile, and unfinished—and that’s exactly where it becomes real.

We get honest about faith in hard seasons, healing that takes time, a...

In his book and our conversation we discuss the truth of what apprenticeship to Jesus looks like an...

If you are anything like us, resisting hurry is a hard thing. In a culture that preaches that rushing, exhaustion, and burnout are normal, resting has to have intention and action behind it. Rest challenges our identity, control and comfort. Join us as we talk about how rest is one of the ways we surrender and practice trust with God.
