Games People Play is the series we are in, and today we are discovering the biblical hope we glean from the childhood game of Red Rover. In this game, one team calls out someone’s name on the opposing team, inviting them to run across the field toward them. The goal of the runner is to break through the line of people locked hand in hand. The goal of the calling team is to stop the runner from bre...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Ministries Podcast! We invite you to become a part of our community as we encourage one another in the hope we have in Jesus. We continue our series called “Games People Play” and today, we contemplate our next move as we discover biblical truths hidden within the game of Chess. Chess is a game of strategy. Players must think ahead, estimate their opponent’s moves,...

Last week, we began our new series for the summer, “Games People Play.” Games teach us valuable skills and life lessons. They build resilience by turning failure into a stepping stone. They help us improve our problem-solving and critical thinking skills. And games boost teamwork and communication. Today, we jump back into this series with both feet! Do you remember the game “Mother May I?” It inv...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Ministries Podcast! We are jumping into a brand-new series today! Summer is here, school is out, and vacations are planned! Meanwhile, we’ll spend some time together reminiscing about the games many of us played as children. Whether at summer camp, on the playground, or in our own backyards, we all have learned more than just how to play a game. Through our time tog...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Ministries Podcast! As we wrap up our “Back to the Basics” series today, let’s look at self-control. This is not a very popular topic. It’s challenging to look in the mirror and identify areas of weakness, mistakes made, and indulgences entertained. Self-control requires introspection, confession, discipline, change, and obedience. Self-control is a fruit of the Spi...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Ministries Podcast! We continue our series called “Back to the Basics” where we are looking at distinct elements of faith and how we can grow in understanding and draw closer to God as we learn more about His character. Today, we are talking about Gratitude. You may have heard popular sayings like, “Have an attitude of gratitude!” “Always be thankful!” And many othe...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Podcast! We continue our series, “Back to the Basics.” Today, we’re talking about humility. Humility is a basic element of our faith in God that values the lives of others and exercises surrender to self. The dictionary tells us humility means to have a modest or low view of oneself; to be diffident, unassertive, and ranked low. These definitions produce a sense of...

Do you consider yourself a merciful person? Maybe you’re a person who has required a lot of mercy. We are grateful to receive mercy when it’s given. Unfortunately, it’s not always so easy to provide mercy to others. Especially to those who have hurt us, offended us, or wronged us. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:7 that God blesses those who are merciful. He further assures us that as we are merciful t...

God created us to be in relationship with Him. When we deprive ourselves of time with Him, we deplete our souls of the fuel we need to live and overcome all we face each day. We can busy ourselves through days, weeks, and months, and never truly communicate with Jesus. Wait! What? How can that be true? Let’s grow this faith of ours on purpose. Let’s communicate with Him—in prayer. Today, we jump b...

What is faith? And how do we know if we have it? Today, we continue our series “Back to the Basics,” and today, we’re talking about faith—a foundational building block as we study and grow closer to God. How do we know Jesus is real? And if He is, how do we know He died and rose from the dead? We weren’t there. Have you ever asked these questions? Maybe someone has asked you. Our everyday decision...

What if we told you there was a cure? A remedy to save you from running in circles, striving to be more, or even chasing what you think is missing from your life? Would you be interested? When we feel overwhelmed or scattered and are searching for answers to why, we often focus on what we believe is “missing” from our lives. When we do this, nothing seems to satisfy us, and we keep running on empt...

“Choose Joy!” You’ve seen it on coffee mugs, t-shirts, and bumper stickers. But how do we really find steadfast joy, especially when facing struggles and pain in our lives? And, is there a difference between joy and happiness? Both are a choice. Happiness can be circumstantial, whereas joy is a characteristic of our spirits. As we transition our focus from what the world offers to what God provide...

What is Hope? We use the word loosely for many of life’s circumstances. But hope is not a mere wish or “finger-crossing” optimism. It’s a confident, joyful, and certain expectation of our good future based on God’s faithfulness. Hope is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the assurance that God will fulfill His promises, acting as an anchor for our soul. In this episode, we identify rea...

Welcome to the My Sister and Me Ministries Podcast, Episode 1! We're so glad YOU are HERE! Life is full of celebrations and struggles. God did not create us to endure it all alone. He made us in His image and for relationships with Him and with others. Whether you are struggling in relationships, finances, health, feelings of unworthiness, unrealistic expectations, or something else, be assured th...
