Sisters on Purpose

Marriage is rarely defined by the grand milestones everyone sees. More often, it’s shaped by the ordinary moments no one else notices. The conversations after a long day. Choosing forgiveness instead of keeping score. Showing up when life is busy, messy, and far from perfect. Decade after decade, those ordinary days become an extraordinary legacy. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we’re refle...

Why We Need Intentional Community The plans we make for time together don’t always unfold the way we expect. In this episode, we reminisce about past sister weekends and the weekend Jeannette and Christine had planned for this year, which will now be postponed until next year. Our own sister weekend came sooner than this episode could be released. After our eldest sister experienced a stroke, we s...

Have you ever looked back on a moment from your life and realized, God was there all along? In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we’re reflecting on the quiet ways God has been faithful throughout our lives. Some of His greatest work doesn’t happen in the moments that seem extraordinary. It happens in the ordinary days, the unexpected challenges, the unanswered questions, and even the seasons we...

We live in a world where information never stops. Headlines, opinions, notifications, social media, and constant updates compete for our attention every day. Yet the more we consume, the less peace many of us seem to have. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between being informed and becoming overwhelmed. We’ll explore why protecting your heart and mind is not avoidance, but wisdo...

Parenting changes with every season, but one thing remains true: we never stop learning. From raising young children to navigating the teenage years and building relationships with adult children, each stage brings its own joys, challenges, and opportunities to grow. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Our...

What if some of the moments we are quickest to dismiss, complain about, or wish away are actually inviting us to pay closer attention? In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we welcome author Elise Tegegne for a conversation about finding redemptive glimmers in the ordinary challenges of life. Drawing from her book, In Praise of Houseflies: Meditations on the Gifts in Everyday Quandaries, Elise re...

Midlife has taught us that sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. In this fun and lighthearted episode of Sisters on Purpose, we’re sharing some of our favorite things that have helped us navigate this season of life with a little more joy, a little more wisdom, and a lot more laughter. From everyday products we can’t live without to routines, habits, books, and simple...

We all carry expectations. Some are about the big things: the life we thought we’d have, the relationships we hoped would look different, the prayers we expected to be answered another way. Others are found in the ordinary moments, when a conversation doesn’t go as planned, a season changes before we’re ready, or someone we love makes choices we cannot control. The challenge isn’t always what happ...

The middle of the year offers a gift we don’t often give ourselves, the opportunity to pause. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we’re taking time to reflect on the journey so far. We’ll share the joys we’ve celebrated, the challenges we’ve faced, the lessons we’ve learned, and the ways God has faithfully met us in every season. Reflection isn’t about living in the past. It’s about recognizing...

When life feels heavy, gratitude can be one of the hardest choices we make. Disappointment, uncertainty, grief, and unmet expectations can cloud our perspective and make it difficult to see the blessings that still surround us. In this episode of the Sisters on Purpose Podcast, we explore what it means to practice gratitude when it doesn’t come naturally. Drawing from Psalm 84, we reflect on the j...

Life is filled with seasons. Some arrive with excitement and anticipation, while others catch us off guard and require us to let go of what was familiar. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, closing a meaningful one, or finding yourself somewhere in between, change often brings a mix of emotions. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we talk about what it means to adapt to life’s changing...

In this episode of the Sisters On Purpose Podcast, we explore the ties that truly bind us together—faith, family, friendship, and intentional community. In a world that often celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, we are reminded that we were never meant to walk through life alone. Through honest conversation and reflection, we discuss the importance of anchoring ourselves in relationships...

What do you do when the future feels uncertain, fragile, or completely out of your control? In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we have an honest conversation about trusting God in seasons where clarity feels absent and the road ahead feels unknown. Whether you are walking through change, loss, waiting, transition, health struggles, family concerns, or simply carrying quiet fear about what come...

What does it truly mean to age gracefully, and who defines what “graceful” even looks like?  In this episode, we challenge the cultural narrative that aging is something to resist, hide, or slow down. Instead, we explore a deeper, more meaningful perspective: aging as refinement. Not decline, but development. Not loss, but transformation. Through honest conversation and lived insight, we unpack ho...

What does it look like to come home to God after a life marked by longing, loss, and searching? In this deeply moving conversation, we sit down with Deborah Rutherford to explore her poetic memoir, Prodigal Daughter—a lyrical and vulnerable journey from a stolen childhood and the allure of “gold and gowns” to a sacred rediscovery of identity, healing, and belonging. Told through intimate verse, De...

There are seasons in life where growth feels clear, and others where it feels like everything is being stretched, refined, or even stripped away. This episode is a grounded conversation about what it really means to become—not who you were, not who you hoped you’d be by now, but the woman God is intentionally shaping in this current season. We move beyond surface-level encouragement and get honest...

In this episode of the Sisters on Purpose Podcast, we explore a truth many women struggle to embrace: healthy boundaries are not selfish—they are stewardship. Too often we give until we are depleted, say yes when wisdom says no, and carry responsibilities that were never ours to hold. Over time, this pattern doesn’t just exhaust us—it quietly erodes our clarity, our peace, and our ability to show...

Are you walking through a season of spiritual dryness? Does your faith feel weak, distant, or harder to hold onto than it once did? In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we talk openly about what happens when your faith feels faint, during seasons of spiritual fatigue, emotional exhaustion, doubt, discouragement, or feeling far from God. Whether you are navigating winter depression, burnout, unan...

Winter has a way of slowing everything down. The days feel longer. Growth feels hidden. Waiting can feel heavy. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we talk about the sacredness of winter seasons and what it means to be present instead of rushing ahead. We reflect on Lent and the discipline of waiting well. We discuss the importance of reaching out and staying connected when isolation feels easi...

Comparison is unavoidable, but it isn’t always destructive. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we unpack how comparison has shown up in our own lives in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and how it quietly shapes our identity, confidence, and decision-making. Together, we explore the subtle line between comparison that clarifies and comparison that corrodes, especially for women navigating lead...

In this episode, we sit down with author and speaker Tracy Harper to talk about identity, validation, and learning to live from God’s voice rather than the noise around us. Tracy shares the heart behind her book From Him, Not Them and offers wisdom for women—especially young Christian women—who are navigating faith, pressure, and purpose in a world full of competing voices. In this conversation, w...

A new year brings fresh possibilities, but before rushing forward, it invites us to pause. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we kick off the new year by creating space to reflect on the season behind us, reset what feels misaligned, and renew our hearts, minds, and intentions for what’s ahead. This is not about resolutions driven by pressure or perfection, but about choosing purpose, peace, a...

This season isn’t about doing it all. It’s about being present, being available, and being a quiet gift in the lives of the people God has placed around us. In this Sisters on Purpose episode, we talk honestly about how the holidays can magnify pressure, heighten expectations, and leave you feeling stretched thin. Together, we walk through simple, practical ways to reduce overwhelm, being availabl...

Every life has its seasons—times of planting, waiting, pruning, and harvest. In this episode, we explore how God uses every season, even the quiet and hidden ones, to cultivate something beautiful in us. So often, we long to see fruit before it’s time, forgetting that growth happens beneath the surface. Winter, though barren on the outside, is never wasted. It’s where roots deepen, character forms...

Family is one of the greatest gifts God gives us — but it also requires intentional effort, grace, and courage to protect it. In this episode, we explore what it means to fight for your family through a biblical lens, the necessity to create healthy boundaries while still pursuing relationships, and when it’s necessary to disrupt comfort to preserve what matters most. We talk about: God’s intentio...
