Whatever is True Sisterhood

It has been an incredible first season and we're so thankful for all of your support and love throughout this journey. We're so excited for Season 2 and we can't wait for you all to see what we have in store! Until then we hope you've learned ways to grow closer in your relationship with God and how to build deep connections with the women in your life. In our final episode of Season 1, our founders Jenn, Gabby, and Melissa look back at all of the amazing insights and takeaways that we've learned in previous episodes. We encourage you to listen! Takeaways: Friendship and Sisterhood provide the opportunity to learn something. Take those chances with vulnerability. Be patient, extend grace, give love and take accountability in your friendships. Be willing to communicate and reconcile when hurt happens. Your story has power and sharing it not only allows you to experience healing but can do the same for others as well. God can handle your unfiltered thoughts and feelings. Be honest with him and unpack everything you're feeling but also take time to wait and listen for what he might be trying to tell you. Forgiveness is ultimately between us and God. Confront any unforgiveness in your heart and give yourself grace and be patient. Forgiveness is a choice and a process. If it's difficult for you, be honest with God and ask him for help.

If we're honest sometimes forgiveness feels completely unfair and downright impossible. In this episode, Pastor Miriam Callahan shares her miraculous experiences with forgiveness and unpacks how we can begin to transform our relationships through our choice to forgive. Throughout this episode, she helps us answer the questions, “what is forgiveness, what isn't forgiveness, how do I know I need to forgive, what do I do if I can't forgive and what are the effects of unforgiveness?” She explains the impact unforgiveness has in our lives and describes how we can find our way to forgiveness while dealing with our unacknowledged hurts. Takeaways: Forgiveness is a choice and a process that takes time. You can be a child of God but still remain under the burden of unforgiveness, both yours towards others and God's towards you. Failure to forgive is a result of minimizing how hurt we felt. Making amends is when God convicts me that I have done harm to someone else, and I have a desire to express my regret for the pain I caused. If you don't have it in you to forgive on your own, ask God to give you the willingness and ability to forgive.
