The Beauty of Becoming: The Single Ladies Podcast

No voice has a greater influence over you than the narrative you speak to yourself. What we continue to say about ourselves and our singleness is what we'll eventually believe to be true... even if it's not what God has said. So today in the season finale, we're diving into 5 of the most common lies we've said–and have even believed–as women in this time of singleness. It's tim...

As singles, we've all been on the receiving end of the unsolicited advice, comments, and clichés that are meant to be helpful, but often end up being hurtful instead. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking some of the things singles hear all the time, and we're replacing them with the truth of what God says about you and the season you’re in. So let’s share a few laughs as we revisit some of...

Any (good) relationship expert will tell you communication is key. Not just the easy, lighthearted conversations... but the difficult, honest ones, too. So why have we been taught to hold it all in when it comes to God? In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the biblical practice of lament... what it looks like to bring our grief, confusion, and unanswered questions to God, and how honest prayers in...

Can I just say the thing everyone thinks but no one ever talks about?? Creating a life you actually like is really hard work! We stress out about whether or not we’re doing enough and whether we're making the most of this season of singleness. Then, we experience all of this pressure (from ourselves and from others) about what life "should" look like... so we begin building lives for...

We've all experienced the "Not Yet" seasons. They’re the times when God has closed a door in an area of your life, but He hasn’t given you any direction on what’s next. And it brings feelings of uncertainty about the future, about what God’s doing–or if He’s even doing anything at all.  Today, I’d like to share some stories from the Bible that have been speaking to me lately, and div...

Ever feel like your spiritual life is like one of those interstate highways that's always under construction? Like God is forever working on something in you... addressing behaviors, patterns, or attitudes to help you grow. Well, today's conversation is all about giving ourselves the grace to grow in times like these. Seasons of stretching and of growth—of working through these areas in ou...

Have you ever had so many challenges hit you at once that it felt like you were just trying to keep your head above water? When all you want is one piece of good news—just one thing to finally go right—only to be met with more difficulties or disappointments? In today’s conversation, we'll be talking about how to walk through these kinds of seasons with authenticity–how we can shift our perspe...

When it comes to seeing God's promises fulfilled in your life... how much of that process is up to Him and how much is up to you?  Today we're talking about how we can partner our faith with God's promise in a tangible way that leads to breakthrough; whether that's breakthrough in your promise or breakthrough in your perspective. Thanks for joining me as we discover the beauty of b...

If we're honest... we've all experienced an area of our lives that feels like a desert. Dry. Unfruitful. Hopeless. It's easy to keep praying for something when you see movement in the right direction. But what do we do in the times when nothing seems to change—or even worse—they seem to be heading in the opposite direction? In today's episode, you're coming with me on a journey from my missions tr...

When you've been believing + praying for something for so long—and you still haven't seen an answer—it's easy to wonder, " Does God really care about this as much as I do ?" In today's episode, I share the story of one of my biggest life updates since the end of Season 1. I believe when we share our stories of breakthrough, it can become the catalyst for bringing breakthrough in another person's l...

Did you know cramping, mood swings, clotting, and pain are actually NOT a part of a healthy menstruation cycle?! Instead, they're your body's way of indicating that something's off and needs your attention. If you're like me and you've experienced these (or other) PMS symptoms, or if you're wanting to have a family one day, I encourage you to listen to this episode! I...

“God wastes nothing, He just gets you ready.” In seasons of waiting, it’s not hard to see everything we’re lacking. But what would change in our hearts and lives if we began to see these waiting seasons as an invitation from God? An invitation to partner with Him on adventures we never could’ve dreamt of ourselves. Adventures God uses to shape us into the best versions of ourselves and to reveal H...

It's that time of the year again... food comas, family gatherings, and holiday parties. If  we're not careful, we'll be so busy "doing" that we forget to enjoy the moment. To make time for the people + the things that matter most.  As single women, the holidays can come with a variety of emotions as we try to navigate them the best we can. Today, I give you my most tried +...

Jesus started a women's empowerment movement. The first time the Gospel was preached was by a woman. Her name was Saint Photini, but you may know her as the "woman at the well." Jesus advocated for Mary (the sister of Martha) to sit at his feet and learn theology in a culture where women weren't seen as worthy of being educated. The first revivalist was a woman by the name of M...

Growing up in the church, I remember feeling so conflicted about the calling on my life. I felt a drawing  to lead and teach in ministry, but there was just one little problem: I'm a woman. And in the teachings of many of the churches I attended growing up, a woman leading and teaching in the church was strictly unbiblical. Why? Because of Paul's writings in 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timoth...

God brings those He loves into greater maturity. If you feel like you're in a place where God is growing, stretching or challenging you, rest in the assurance it's because He's helping you reach your fullest potential in Him! As we finish up our conversation with Pastor Andrew on the Divine Progression of our relationship with God, he reminds us to never be satisfied with where we&a...

Did you know there’s a progression when it comes to our relationship with God? As we grow closer to Him, everything begins to change: our perspectives, our understanding, our actions, and a deeper revelation of who we really are because of Jesus. In part 1 of today’s conversation, Pastor Andrew Hall introduces us to this progression that takes place as we keep saying “yes” to God. He reminds us th...

Whether it's a natural seed or a spiritual seed, what you carry is worth fighting for. In the wake of the recent overturning of a federal law, guest Letica Wiley shares the importance of protecting the life God put within you... whether that's a child, a dream, an education, a business, or a calling. As she shares her life story, you'll be encouraged that it's never too late an...

What's been your definition of what true contentment looks like lived out? If you're like me, maybe you've thought contentment looks like being happy with your circumstances all of the time. That you no longer feel what I like to call the "difficult emotions" - frustration, worry, grief, anger, loneliness, or sadness- when you think about where you are or what has or hasn&...

Have you ever struggled to find a healthy balance between feeling your emotions and being controlled by them? If so, you're not alone. Our emotions were created to be helpful indicators of what's going on in and around us, but sometimes they can just begin to feel like too much. In today's conversation, returning guest and licensed therapist, Robyn Taft, talks to us about how to fin...

It doesn't matter why you're single, how old you are, or what your experiences have been... dating isn't for the faint of heart!! On today's episode, returning guest, Debbie Short, and I share a funny and vulnerable conversation as we hold nothing back about what it's like to date as a 20-something who's never been married and a 60-something who's found herself s...

Have you ever kept a secret because of the guilt and shame you felt buried underneath? A secret that you feared might tear apart relationships or cause people - or God Himself - to reject you if they knew the real you or what you've done? Today's guest, Jill Jamieson, shares her testimony of living in the bondage of secrets for years until she experienced God's beautiful redemption...

Ever wanted something so badly that you settled for something less just to have that desire fulfilled? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I think we've all done this in some area of our lives. Don't get me wrong - it's a natural, human tendency to want to fill a desire in any way we can when we have the power to do so. But how does this pattern impact us when it comes to dating?  On today's episode, I&ap...

Waiting never feels like the best part of life. And if given the opportunity, I think most of us would skip right past the times of waiting to get straight to the goal. But what if I told you the "end-goal" was never the most important part of our journeys? What if this entire time, we've been missing the whole point of waiting? Overlooking the most precious gifts God has ever wante...

In a culture that idolizes self-sufficiency, have you noticed we all still have this innate desire within us to be known, to be seen, and to be loved? In the midst of the isolation we've all experienced these last few years, we've realized more than ever it's not good for us to be alone. A part of the human existence is to need one another, and being in relationship fills that need....
