Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I've changed...but now who am I? Midlife brings so many transitions—our bodies change, our relationships evolve, our roles shift, and the things that once defined us begin to look different. In this episode, I share some of the emotions so many women experience during this season, including grief, relief, fear, and uncertainty. We talk about why midlife isn't about trying to become the person you used to be, but discovering who God is inviting you to become next. If you've been wondering what this season is really about, I hope this conversation encourages you to embrace it with curiosity, courage, and hope. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Midlife Isn't About Going Back—It's About Becoming [04:00] The Questions That Surface When Life Finally Gets Quiet [09:00] Grieving the Life You Thought You'd Have [14:00] Why the Emotion of Relief Can Feel Surprisingly Uncomfortable in Midlife [17:00] Two Different Kinds of Fear—and Which One God Wants You to Follow [22:00] Don't Let Your Inner Critic Talk You Out of Your Next Season [27:00] Midlife Is an Orientation, Not the Finish Line [30:00] Listening to the Emotions God Is Using to Shape You RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club If this conversation resonated with you, join us inside the Emotional Confidence Club, where we're spending time exploring the emotions of midlife together.

Do the ordinary tasks of my day actually matter to God?You're doing all of it — the meals, the laundry, the emails, the driving, the remembering. And somewhere in the middle of it a question surfaces. Does any of this actually matter? This episode is about what happens when we move through our lives productive but not present, and what abiding in the ordinary actually looks like.Through the story of Brother Lawrence and the theology of Andrew Murray's The True Vine, this episode reframes the mundane as the very place God is forming you. The laundry isn't the obstacle to your spiritual life. It is your spiritual life.In This Episode•Why productivity without presence leaves us spiritually exhausted•How Brother Lawrence practiced God's presence in unglamorous ordinary work•What Psalm 16 teaches us about security and presence in our assigned portion•How Murray reframes pruning as God's precision formation in everyday life•The three questions that help you abide in the ordinary instead of just endure itKey Takeaways•The ordinary moments of your day are not the obstacle to your spiritual life — they are your spiritual life•Abiding is a connection you maintain in the middle of the doing, not a feeling you chase•The laundry is the pruning — God is actively forming you in the mundane moments•The fruit grows while you remain connected to the vine — not when you finally finish the listSeries NoteEpisode three of the Simply Remain series, which began on episode 156.Keywords•Abiding in God in everyday life•Christian women and spiritual exhaustion•Finding God in the ordinary•Spiritual formation in daily routines•John 15 abiding and fruit•Andrew Murray The True VineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this interview, Spencer Dalke talks with sociologist Katie Gaddini about the influential role Christian women play in shaping America's conservative movement. Drawing on nearly a decade of research, Gaddini explores the diverse groups of women—from mothers and college students to social media influencers and political leaders—who have become increasingly active in conservative politics. The conversation examines how events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, debates over education and parental rights, concerns about immigration, and broader cultural shifts have mobilized many Christian women into public engagement. Gaddini also discusses the growing influence of social media, the rise of the MAGA movement, and how many women understand their political involvement through deeply held religious convictions and biblical narratives. Ultimately, the episode offers a nuanced look at the intersection of faith, culture, and politics, helping listeners better understand one of the most significant—and often overlooked—forces shaping contemporary American conservatism.  Featured work: Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com. 

What does it look like to follow Jesus in the everyday tension of motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal healing? In episode four of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Jackie Hill Perry for a raw and wisdom filled conversation about humility, trust, and the hidden work of sanctification. Jackie shares candidly about parenting four children while staying rooted in her calling, building a marriage grounded in friendship with her husband Preston, and learning to trust God in places of deep personal hurt and uncertainty. Together, they unpack what it means to live as disciples who choose obedience over ego, faith over fear, and gratitude over envy. This episode will encourage you to see God differently in your suffering, to embrace the narrow road of discipleship, and to trust that He is faithful in every step of your story.

When the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) made headlines over women in pastoral ministry, social media quickly filled with opinions, assumptions, and strong reactions. But as followers of Christ, how should we respond when theological disagreements arise?In this episode, we use the recent SBC conversation as a case study to explore how Christian leaders can become the kind of leader who handles God's Word faithfully and God's people graciously. My prayer is that this conversation equips you not only to think more biblically, but to lead more like Christ.If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review?

Many of us avoid sharing our faith because we don't feel qualified. We don't think we know our Bibles well enough or walk the walk well enough.

Have you ever wondered how all the pieces of the Bible fit together—or even how your own story fits into God's greater story? If you've ever opened Scripture feeling overwhelmed or found yourself questioning where God is in the middle of your everyday life, I think this week's episode will encourage your heart. I had the joy of sitting down with Randy and Rozanne Frazee to talk about their beautiful new Bible study, Encountering God's Love: From Genesis to Revelation. Together, we explored how the Bible isn't just a collection of disconnected stories—it's one continuous story of God's relentless love pursuing His people from beginning to end. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why seeing the Bible as one unified story changes the way you read Scripture.• How God's love has been pursuing humanity since Genesis.• What it means to trust God's "upper story" when your own story feels confusing.• Encouragement for anyone who feels insignificant, overlooked, or unsure where they fit in God's plan.• Practical ways to recognize God's loving hand in your everyday life. One moment that especially moved me was when we talked about the women in Jesus' genealogy. God intentionally chose broken, unlikely people to be part of His redemptive story—and He delights in doing the same today. If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, I hope you'll listen. His grace has always been greater than our brokenness. I pray this conversation reminds you that your life matters, your story matters, and most importantly, you are deeply loved by the God who has been pursuing His children from Genesis to Revelation.

In this episode, we're returning to Scripture to discover Jesus' definition of leadership. Together, we'll explore why biblical leadership is different and why it matters for women serving in ministry.This episode also marks a new chapter for The Upstream Pursuit. While our heart remains the same, we'll be more intentional about helping women serving in ministry grow in Christ-like character, leadership skills and ministry rhythms. In this episode, you'll learn:Why leadership must be defined by Scripture, not culture.What Jesus teaches about greatness in Matthew 20.How to begin stewarding the responsibilities God has entrusted to you with humility, wisdom, and confidence.Whether you have a ministry title or faithfully serve behind the scenes, this episode is an invitation to let Christ shape the way you lead.Scripture: Matthew 20:20–28If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review?

Is apologetics only for pastors and theologians? Not at all. In this conversation, Sarah Stonestreet explains why every Christian woman needs to know not only what she believes but why she believes it.

Are you tired of rushing through your days, only to reach bedtime wondering where the hours went? In this live show, I share why I stopped rushing and how I reconciled slow living with my never-ending to-do list — not as a trend, but as a faithful, biblical response to overwhelm.Slow living isn't about doing less for the sake of laziness. It's about doing the right things on purpose, with full attention, and letting go of the frantic pace that steals our joy. As a Christian homemaker, I've found that organizing my attitude is  an act of stewardship — protecting my time, my attention, and my family's peace.

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available. If you're ready to stop being defined by your issue and start living from your identity as a daughter of God, this episode is for you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Conservative Christian women are often portrayed as followers in American politics, but sociologist Katie Gaddini says that stereotype misses the bigger picture. Drawing on the research from her new book, she explains how these women have become a powerful force on the American right, what motivates their political engagement, and how faith, motherhood, and social media shape their growing influence.  For more on this topic: Read Gaddini's new book, Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right Check out her commentary in TIME Magazine, The woman whose crusade gave today's book-banning moms a blueprint  

Have you ever looked around and wondered why, even in a world more connected than ever, so many of us still feel lonely? I think most of us long for friendships that are genuine relationships where we're known, encouraged, challenged, and loved. Yet building those kinds of friendships can feel harder than ever. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with my sweet friend, Becky Harling, about her book, Friendwise. Our conversation reminded me that friendship isn't just a nice addition to life—it's one of God's good gifts. We were created for meaningful relationships that strengthen our faith, encourage our hearts, and point us back to Christ. In this episode, we discuss:• Why friendship is essential for our spiritual, emotional, and even physical health.• Practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs for cultivating lasting relationships.• How to navigate boundaries, vulnerability, forgiveness, and conflict with grace.• Why comparison and competition quietly destroy friendships—and how celebrating one another brings freedom.• Simple ways to become the kind of friend we're all hoping to find. Sometimes the first step toward deeper connection is simply reaching out, asking someone to coffee, listening well, and loving intentionally. If you've been feeling lonely, disconnected, or simply longing for richer relationships, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical, biblical wisdom for building friendships that last.

Why do we still feel lonely when we're surrounded by people who love us? In this episode, we continue the conversation about loneliness by looking beyond the feeling itself and exploring the deeper longings underneath it. We discuss why loneliness is often less about a lack of people and more about a lack of meaningful connection, how our needs for connection change throughout different seasons of life, and why midlife often brings these longings to the surface. You'll learn how to identify what you're truly longing for, where you may be settling for interaction instead of connection, and how God can use these feelings to guide you toward deeper relationships with Him and others. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Loneliness Is Really About Connection, Not a Lack of People [04:00] How Midlife Creates Space for Deeper Longings to Surface [08:00] Why Authentic Connection Is a God-Given Need [12:00] How Our Relationship Needs Change Throughout Different Seasons of Life [15:00] Identifying What You're Actually Longing For [18:00] The Unhealthy Ways We Sometimes Try to Meet Our Need for Connection [22:00] Questions to Ask When Loneliness Keeps Showing Up [26:00] Finding Connection, Growth, and Support in Community  RESOURCES: Join us for “Navigating Loneliness and Disconnection in Midlife” (July 2026 Topic in the Emotional Confidence Club)   If loneliness, emotional disconnection, or major life transitions have been showing up for you lately, the Emotional Confidence Club is a place to process those experiences alongside other Christian women who understand what you're going through.  In July, we'll be taking a deeper look at loneliness and emotional disconnection, exploring questions like:  Why can I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people I love?  What is the difference between being alone and feeling disconnected?  What kind of connection am I truly longing for in this season?  Where is God inviting me into deeper healing, community, and relationship?  To learn more, visit: AliciaMichelle.com/club  RELATED EPISODES: Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Ep 367: Why Do I Feel Lonely in Midlife When I'm Surrounded by People I Love? Send us Fan Mail

This month, we examined weaponized Scriptures, and today we talk with Thomas Pryde of Psalm 82 Initiative to talk about, When is it Abuse?Thomas said a healthy relationship uses whatever power you have to help others, not harm them, and when you love someone, freedom abounds, but freedom is not anarchy.

This is a heavy one — and I mean that in the holiest way.I recorded this episode with a dear friend on my heart. She just walked through a miscarriage, and I've been right there with her — sitting on her doorstep, going to the memorial, feeling every layer of it. And if you've ever been in that place where everyone around you is still pregnant and you're not, I made this for you.Because that feeling — of watching someone keep the gift that was taken from you — is one of the hardest parts of loss that no one talks about. The jealousy. The resentment. The way a baby bump across the room can undo you. It's real, and it's okay, and I want to sit with you in it today.In this episode:Why seeing other pregnancies after loss feels so unjust — and why that feeling is validA perspective on suffering that reframes your loss as a different kind of gift, not a lesser oneHow your grief can draw you closer to Christ than almost anything else couldWhy I think social media is making your healing harder — and what to do about itHow to genuinely bless others in their pregnancy while honoring your own sorrowA prayer for the woman whose womb feels empty and whose heart is heavyResources & Links:✨75k Downloads = A Big Giveaway for YOU!

Real health is built in the everyday in between. It's not built in extremes. If you have ever found yourself going between indulgence and restriction and wondering why you are always having to start over, this episode is for you. Most of us were never taught how our bodies actually work or what supports them. So we default to the same restrictive diet we have always gone back to because it is the only tool we have ever been given. But that is not a plan, it's a default pattern. The default doesn't address what is actually going on in your body. In this episode, we are talking about why the restriction indulgence cycle creates chronic imbalance in your body systems, why food sensitivities and food intolerances may be silently driving your gut issues, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and blood sugar dysregulation, and why personalized nutrition rooted in real data from your own body is what actually moves the needle for Christian women's health. Here is something most women do not know. Anaphylaxis is actually rare, even with a true food allergy. Your body has been communicating with you. You just have not had the data to understand what it is saying yet. This is holistic health for Christian women focused on lifestyle stewardship.

Have you ever wondered if what you're doing really matters? Maybe your days feel ordinary. Maybe you're faithfully serving your family, showing up for work, caring for others, or quietly doing what God has called you to do—but sometimes you wonder if it's making any difference at all. If you've ever felt that way, this week's episode of The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friend, Bible teacher, and author Crickett Keeth to discuss her new Bible study, Living Out a Life That Matters. Through Paul's relationship with Timothy in 2 Timothy, Crickett reminds us that every believer has a God-given purpose and that our lives carry eternal significance—even when they feel small, routine, or unseen. In our conversation, you'll discover: • How to identify and live out your unique God-given purpose• Why comparison steals our joy and distracts us from our calling• The importance of encouraging and investing in others• How God uses even the smallest acts of faithfulness for His glory• Why it's never too late to make an eternal impact One of my favorite moments from our conversation was when Crickett shared the story of her mother in a nursing home. Though she could no longer see, hear, walk, or speak, God still used her simple smile to point others to Jesus. It's a beautiful reminder that God never puts His children "on the shelf." Friend, your life matters. Your obedience matters. Your faithfulness matters. And God can use you right where you are today. I pray this conversation encourages you to embrace the purpose God has given you and to trust that He is working through your life in ways you may never fully see this side of heaven.

We saved this one for last. Because this one is ours. Throughout this entire mini-series we created space for the things Christian women carry silently — the exhaustion, the marriage struggles, the motherhood grief, the faith doubts, the things that feel too heavy or too honest or too vulnerable to say out loud. And now it's our turn.In this final episode of Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa each share their own personal testimony — the thing they have struggled most to say out loud. The real story. The one that cost something to tell. The moment that changed everything. This is not a polished highlight reel. This is four women sitting down together and finally saying the thing. Because we believe that the story you are most afraid to tell is usually the very thing someone else desperately needs to hear.In this episode we talk about:The personal struggles each of us carried in silence — and what finally broke them openWhat it actually costs to say the hard thing out loud for the first timeThe moment faith stopped being performance and became something realMarriage struggles, personal crisis, identity loss, and the seasons we almost didn't surviveWhat God did in the hardest chapters we didn't think we were going to get throughWhy vulnerability in the Christian community is not weakness — it's the doorway to real healingThe freedom that comes when you finally stop pretending and start telling the truthWhat we want every woman listening to know before this series endsScripture anchor:Revelation 12:11 — "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Your testimony has power. Even the parts you haven't said out loud yet. Especially those parts. This is the episode we almost didn't record. And it is the most important one in the series.If you have been listening from Episode 1 — thank you. You showed up for every honest conversation and we hope you felt less alone in every single one of them. And if this is the first episode you're finding — go back and start from the beginning. There is something in this series for every season of your life.This is Women Soaring. And we are just getting started.

Have you ever looked around at your family, friends, and the people you love most and wondered, Why do I still feel lonely? If you're in midlife, you may be surprised by how often this feeling shows up—even when nothing seems wrong. In this episode, I share some of my own experiences with loneliness during this season of life, including the transition of my daughter leaving for the Navy, changing family dynamics, evolving friendships, and the quiet emotional shifts that often happen in midlife. We talk about why loneliness isn't always about being alone, how grief and transition often fuel these feelings, and how God can use these moments to reveal deeper needs, bring healing, and guide us into new seasons of connection. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Loneliness Can Show Up Even When You're Surrounded by People You Love [04:00] The Hidden Grief Behind Many Midlife Transitions [06:00] Why Midlife Is a Season of Restructuring Relationships [08:00] How God Uses Seasons of Quiet to Get Our Attention [12:00] Friendship Changes, Relationship Shifts, and Learning to Let Go [14:00] Why Loneliness Is Not the Same as Being Alone [18:00] What My Daughter's Empty Room Taught Me About New Seasons [20:00] What Loneliness May Be Trying to Tell You RESOURCES: Join us for “Navigating Loneliness and Disconnection in Midlife” (July 2026 Topic in the Emotional Confidence Club)  If loneliness, emotional disconnection, or major life transitions have been showing up for you lately, the Emotional Confidence Club is a place to process those experiences alongside other Christian women who understand what you're going through. In July, we'll be taking a deeper look at loneliness and emotional disconnection, exploring questions like: Why can I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people I love? What is the difference between being alone and feeling disconnected? What kind of connection am I truly longing for in this season? Where is God inviting me into deeper healing, community, and relationship? To learn more, visit: AliciaMichelle.com/club RELATED EPISODES: Ep 295: Overcoming Loneliness: Practical Mindset Shifts to Build Friendships Starting Now with Becky Harling Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Send us Fan Mail

Anthea Hodgson - Author *The Palace of Lost Virtue* In 1898, Marigold Harrington arrives on the goldfields of Western Australia with conviction in her heart. The daughter of a prospector and a proud member of the Christian Women’s Temperance Union, she dreams of rescuing women the gold rush has forgotten, those trapped in the shadows of brothels and bars. Across town, Pansy Arlington presides over the Palace of Pleasure, her own small empire built from ruin. When Marigold arrives at her door, offering God’s forgiveness, Pansy surprises her with unexpected kindness. The two women spark an unlikely friendship, but in a rough, lawless town built on greed and desire, their bond will be tested by betrayal, violence and a crime that will echo through the years. Inspired by true events and the real women of the gold rush, The Palace of Lost Virtue dares to rewrite history books, giving voice to the lives of the formidable women who lived and died in the goldfields. By the bestselling author of The War Nurses, this is a lively and colourful tale about loyalty, forgiveness and freedom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working?This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal.In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet.In this episode we talk about:Doubt as a doorway — not a dead endWhat to do when God feels completely silentPraying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single dayThe prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faithBeing angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)What faith actually looks like inside a military life full of uncertaintyHow to worship God through genuine bitternessComing out of the hardest season still standing — and still believingScripture anchor: Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."Whether you are a lifelong woman of faith or you are somewhere in the middle of the hardest wrestling match of your spiritual life — you are safe here.Bring your questions. Bring your doubt. Bring the things you have never said out loud. Because we believe that is exactly where the real thriving begins.

Allie cracks open “Yesteryear,” a time-travel novel that supposedly crushes the tradwife movement and Christian nationalism. Allie peels back to the progressive motivations behind the fiction, while showing the parallels between the book's protagonist and Hannah Neeleman, better known as Ballerina Farm. Additionally, the author said she researched Christianity via Reddit, which results in a number of inconsistencies in the protagonist's faith. Finally, Allie takes some viewer questions on a viewer's husband being deployed, as well as female pastors in a children's ministry. Do you have a question for Allie?

Amanda Hietter shares on this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast about surviving, abuse, surrender, and what happens when you realize you have spent years carrying life in survival mode. Not thriving. Not truly living. Just surviving. Amanda speaks honestly about fear, control, healing, and learning to trust God again in places where life had taught her to brace for impact. There is something steady and grounding about this conversation. No pretending. Just authentic truth. Just a woman who has been there and is finding her way back. This conversation was originally recorded during FORTIFIED: Women Rising in Authority, Ease, and Joy.In this episode, we talk about:Survival mode and emotional exhaustionAbuse and healingFear, surrender, and trustLearning to receive supportLiving differently instead of just copingWhat real freedom begins to look like

Have you ever felt exhausted from constantly thinking about how you're doing, how you're perceived, what you're accomplishing, or whether you're enough? If we're honest, most of us live there more often than we'd like to admit. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author Morgan Krueger to talk about her new book, Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself. Together, we explored a truth that feels both challenging and freeing: the more focused we become on ourselves, the more anxious, insecure, and unsatisfied we often feel. In a culture that constantly tells us to build our own platform, protect our image, and chase self-fulfillment, Morgan offers a refreshing invitation to lift our eyes and fix them on Jesus instead. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why self-focus often leads to anxiety, comparison, and striving• The three struggles that commonly keep us stuck: pride, fear, and doubt• How confession, community, and God's Word help us break free from isolation• Simple ways to magnify Jesus in everyday life• Why the small, unseen acts of faithfulness matter more than we realize• How Mary's words, "My soul magnifies the Lord," can become our daily prayer If you've been feeling weary from carrying the weight of proving yourself, performing for others, or trying to control every outcome, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart. Friend, you were never created to make your own name great. You were created to magnify His. And as you do, you'll discover the joy, peace, and purpose your heart has been longing for all along.

What does it look like to stay planted in Jesus when life feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or costly? In episode one of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, worship leader, and longtime friend Brooke Ligertwood to talk about anointing, obedience, creativity, and surrender. Together, they explore the weight and wonder of being entrusted with God's calling… and how true freedom is often found not in striving, but in faithfully staying with Jesus one day at a time. Brooke shares personal stories about discovering songwriting at a young age, stewarding creativity through both worship, and learning that the goal of her life isn't success or recognition, but simply to remain close to Jesus. Shelley and Brooke also reflect on the beauty of being “good trees” – rooted, nourished, and trusting God alone with the fruit their lives produce. This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched, misunderstood, weary, or unsure of what obedience looks like in this season. You'll walk away encouraged to stay planted, take heart, and trust God with the outcome! If you want more from Brooke, you can find her at @brookeligertwood on Instagram or www.brookeligertwood.com.

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

Do you believe that self-care is selfish? For a lot of Christian women, that question hits close to home. If you've spent most of your life believing that caring for yourself meant you were putting yourself before God or others, this episode will shift that mindset. This kicks off a 5-part Summer Self-Care Series where every episode gives you real, practical ways to care for your body... including gentle detox tips you can start right away...without taking a spa day every so often or complicated daily routines. But before we get into the practical, we have to get into the foundational. Because if you believe self-care is selfish, no wellness strategy will stick. So we're going straight to Scripture and looking at what God actually says about loving and caring for yourself versus what the world has twisted it to mean.

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone else's words, assuming they were judging you? Or maybe you've caught yourself criticizing someone in your mind, convinced you're seeing the situation clearly. If so, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my friend Shannon Popkin to discuss her new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, we explored a topic that many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly—judgment. What if the criticism we feel from others is often rooted in our own insecurities? What if the harsh standards we apply to others reveal places in our own hearts that need God's healing mercy? Through powerful stories like Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reminds us that while God is a righteous Judge, He is also abundantly merciful. His mercy changes how we see ourselves and how we see others. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this: we often feel judged and become judgy in response. But Jesus shows us a different way. Though He was wrongly judged, He responded with compassion, forgiveness, and grace. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why judgment and insecurity are often connected• How contempt quietly damages our relationships• What Jonah's story reveals about our own hearts• How God's mercy transforms the way we treat others• Why the cross is the ultimate picture of love and compassion Friend, if you've ever struggled with being critical of yourself or others, this conversation will encourage you and point you back to the heart of God.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in sales isn't your pricing, offer, or marketing—but how you see yourself? In this episode, I share the key lessons from the first Sell With Confidence Challenge. After four days of live sales training, the women didn't leave talking about scripts or closing techniques—they left talking about leadership. They learned to overcome awkwardness in sales conversations, to stop seeing sales as pressure and start seeing it as serving others. They discovered how to communicate their value confidently and guide people to decisions that genuinely help them. Inside this episode, you'll discover: Why confidence comes from preparation, not personality The mindset shift that turns sales from “bothering” into serving Why many Christian women struggle more with permission than integrity How communication—not persuasion—is the missing link in sales Why leadership is the true skill behind successful selling How understanding buyer personalities transforms sales conversations Hear stories from women who shifted from feeling unprepared or pushy to becoming confident leaders in their sales journeys. If you've ever felt uncomfortable asking for the sale, worried about being too pushy, or heard “I need to think about it” more times than you'd like, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Confidence is built through preparation Sales is service—not pressure Communication is a leadership skill Buyers want guidance, not convincing Selling is really about leading Join the Sell With Confidence waitlist for the September 2026 cohort at: https://lindsayfletcher.co/waitlist

Why do I keep spiraling into the same negative thoughts?Why does rest feel so hard?How do I know if a thought is from God… or fear?In today's special Q+A episode, we're diving into some of the most common mindset, emotional health, and neuroscience questions Christian women quietly wrestle with every day. We'll talk overthinking, emotional exhaustion, rumination, faith, forgiveness, and practical ways to renew your mind—one thought at a time.You are not stuck. Your brain can change. Healing is possible.

Is modesty about honoring God… or controlling women?Can you be fashionable, feminine, confident, and still modest? Does what you wear actually matter? And what do we do with all the church baggage around “causing your brother to stumble”?In this episode, we sit down with three Christian women for an honest, nuanced, and probably overdue conversation about modesty.We're talking about beauty, conviction, femininity, social media, lust, validation, and what modesty actually means from a biblical perspective.We'll talk about:Whether women are responsible for men's lustWhat modesty is actually about if it is not just “covering up”What “don't cause your brother to stumble” actually means in contextThe difference between dressing confidently and dressing for validationWhether modesty standards should change when you're marriedHow Christian women practically think through what they wearIf Christian women should dress differently online versus real lifeWhy modesty conversations almost always target women and not menThis conversation is not about hiding your body or being ashamed of beauty. It is about conviction, identity, wisdom, and honoring God without fear, shame, or performance.If modesty has ever felt confusing, controlling, legalistic, or honestly just exhausting, this episode is for you.Let's talk about it

What happens when the very things that help keep us healthy are the first things to disappear in overwhelming seasons of life? The walks. The movement. The routines. The rest. The meal planning. The consistency. In today's episode, I'm joined by Ondrea Lynn — speaker, author of Christian Women's Weight Loss Victory Plan, host of the Christian Women's Weight Loss Podcast, and a faith-based fitness and nutrition coach who has helped thousands of women transform their health from the inside out. Together, we talk about simplifying food and fitness, creating sustainable routines, stewarding our bodies well, overcoming overwhelm and inconsistency, renewing our minds through Scripture, and why caring for our health impacts every other area of our lives. This conversation felt especially timely heading into summer with all the noise online around quick fixes, workouts, diets, and pressure to completely overhaul ourselves overnight. If you've been feeling tired, discouraged, stretched thin, inconsistent, or stuck constantly trying to “get back on track,” I think this episode will really encourage you. There is a better way. A slower, steadier, God-centered approach to health and wellness. And stay until the end because Ondrea shares three powerful scriptures and a declaration that I immediately wanted to write down for myself. Praying this conversation gives you hope!
