Gratitude is one of those virtues everyone agrees is a good practice, but there is a difference between the self-help type of gratitude and faith-based gratitude. One focuses on the gifts, while the other focuses on the Giver. In this special Thanksgiving episode, Ali and Lisa ask the hard question: How can we position our hearts to be content and, even more so, grateful in all circumstances? They...

As Christians, we know that we are not of this world; yet, in the midst of our day to day lives, we can get sucked into wordly measures that can cause us to question our identity, our worth, and our purpose. In this episode, Lisa and Ali remind us that what God values is so much different than what the world values. Greatness in the kingdom is not measured by titles or positions, nor by worldly wi...

What does it look like to receive God’s grace? Today’s episode gives us a humbling example. In what will become a recurring feature of the pod, Ali and Lisa look back at previous episodes and admit some of the missteps they’ve made along the way and, more importantly, their need for God’s grace. Knowing this is something we all need, Ali walks us through the steps of understanding and receiving th...

No one wants to be called a hypocrite, but the hard truth is that we are all exactly that— sinners who know what is wrong and still goof up. That doesn’t give us a free pass to  make poor choices, but it does remind us that we have a lot to learn and that we should  approach God accordingly. Using the story of Paul’s conversion, Ali and Lisa talk about  owning and welcoming the process of transfor...

In part 2 of this episode, Ali and Lisa go back into their “trash can of lies” and pull out two more lies that can steal our joy and hold us back from living in the fullness of Christ. Ali unpacks what God has to say about the troubles we face, and Lisa reminds us that while we are called to love others, they may not always love us back. No matter what lies the enemy or the world tries to tell us,...

Far too often, we allow the lies of this world to impact the choices we make and the mindsets we hold. Even when we know God’s truth, we can fall into false beliefs about ourselves and what God expects of us. We may even try to live up to memes we’ve created in our minds—images and standards that are unrealistic and maybe even unbiblical. In this episode, Ali and Lisa each dig into their “trash ca...

When Jesus asks us to love others, He doesn’t want us to reduce it to a “check box” item on our “Love To-Do List.” He wants us to genuinely love others as we love ourselves. In this episode, Ali and Lisa talk about seeing the person in front of us from God’s perspective and how that helps us move away from destructive habits like gossip and judgment, and instead, positions us to authentically love...

Being vulnerable is uncomfortable, isn’t it? Saying phrases like “I’m fine” is much easier than admitting how we truly feel, especially in community. But God calls us to share our burdens with Him and with others. We were not designed to do this life alone. In this episode, Ali and Lisa talk about how we can find the balance of when to share, when not to share, and more importantly, our true sourc...

The pull to compare ourselves to others has always been there, but thanks to tools like social media, that pull feels stronger than ever. In this episode, Ali and Lisa unpack the trap of comparison and the damage it can do to our relationships with others and with God. They discuss why we fall into the trap, how to actively fight against it, and the joy we discover when we step into the unique des...

As women of God, we are called to encourage one another, but what does that look like in our everyday interactions? In this episode, Lisa and Ali talk about the early days of their friendship and how they discovered the value of being a “hype girl” – a woman who believes the best about others, comes alongside other women to cheer them on, and actively fights against worldly pressures to compare, c...
