Ep. 168 - Enjoy this replay. The whole idea of freezing your eggs is becoming more appealing to women each year.  Instead of being bound by her (God-designed) biological clock, women can delay having children until their 40s, without the worry of having to produce healthy eggs. The basic idea is that you freeze your strong eggs when you're in your 20s, and then use them when you're in your 40s.Women, young and old, are loving this new freezing technology because it frees them up from having to “settle down” too early. They can pursue their career, delay marriage, be independent, and still have a chance to be a mom – on their own timeframe.As Christian women, we have to view everything, including this egg freezing technology, through a Biblical worldview.Let's take a deep dive in today's episode.

Ep 163 - The two of us used to be HUGE proponents of the "praying  for your future husband" idea. I (Bethany) wrote letters and prayers for my future husband from age 14-30 when I got married. That's a lot of time spent thinking and dreaming about someone that might not have even existed. Is it a good idea for single Christian women to focus on a future husband?

Ep 162 - We've seen thousands of Christian women ditch their faith over the past several years. Many came face to face with issues like gay marriage and decided that "hate-filled" Christianity wasn't for them.  Is it possible to be a KIND Christian and disagree with others?

Ep 161 - The sourdough biblical womanhood aesthetic is in full force. It seems milking your cow, collecting fresh eggs and wearing a flowy dress are the new standards for biblical womanhood.

Ep. 157 - Enjoy this important replay. Christian women are notorious for giving "feel good" encouragement. It might not be true. It might not be biblical. But, it makes us feel good in the moment. "You're enough.""Your turn is next!""You'll get that baby soon.""Marriage is in your future.""Good things are coming your way."These all sound nice and great and make me feel good... but are they true? Are they biblical? In today's episode, we're unpacking why this "fluffy feel good" advice is more damaging than helpful.

Ep. 156 - We surveyed hundreds of single women for our book Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart. The answers were unanimous. Single women desperately need help, guidance and mentorship. They shared their struggles with porn, erotica, masturbation and said that they don't know who or where to turn for help. Married Christian women should be the FIRST ones to reach out with Biblical hope and truth. Married Christian women need to proactively mentor single women in this area. If we won't do it, the world will.

Ep. 155 - Enjoy this replay. The word identity has become one of the biggest buzz words of our day. Our modern culture is passionate about spreading the message that our truest identity can be found within ourselves. We're told that who we are has nothing to do with God, but everything to do with us. As we live in the midst of this popular narrative, we need to remind ourselves that our truest identity doesn't come from within, but from within God's design for us. If we want to experience true freedom and confidence in who we are, we must look to our Creator to define us. He is a good and loving Father and has a beautiful design for our femininity. At the end of the day, our greatest joy and purpose doesn't come from within, but from knowing who we are in Christ, and then living faithfully in that identity for God's glory.FREE BOOK - Battling Sexual Temptation: A Biblical Toolkit for Christian GirlsRecommended Resource: Embracing Biblical Womanhood (PDF Download)Love Defined: Embracing God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships Girl Defined: God's Radical Design for Beauty, Femininity and Identity Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's HeartPersonal Retreat Journal Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story Shine Bright Devotional 8-Week Girl Defined Mentorship Course Biblical Counseling Link Support the showSupport the ShowFOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube Facebook Pinterest

Ep. 143 - Enjoy this replay episode. It was so good we had to bring it back. Have safe sex. Don't get pregnant. And build your career. That's the mantra women have been told from the time they were teen girls.

That's where Candice Watters comes in. She brings a perspective to family planning that is sure to make you question everything you've though over the years. She takes you to Scripture and shows you why the world's way of doing things isn't best or God-honoring. It's time to rethink birth control, family planning, and when to have babies.

Ep. 131 - There's a lie masquerading as truth that's running rampant in our culture. It goes something like this: you are powerful enough to control your circumstances and create the life you want through positive thinking, solid planning, and dreaming big enough. But if you've ever tried to control your life or to strive your way to self-fulfillment, you've discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment when things don't go your way.In today's episode, Tara Sun explores why the quest for control is overrated—not to mention downright dangerous—and reveals the surprising, life-giving alternative: radical surrender to God.

Ep. 129 - Target stores nationwide have fully embraced the gender confusion mania with their new "Take Pride" apparel line. I walked into a store this week to check things out for myself. I saw female-style swimsuits which offered a "tuck option" along with an extra wide crotch for biological males. I saw graphic tees geared toward teen girls featuring large print that said, "Busy thinking about girls." But the worst products by far were the rainbow colored BABY bibs and onesies with text like "I am PROUD of you always." How should we respond to this? How should we navigate this Biblically? As shocking as Target's bold displays are...what if this is simply the natural next step for a society that has rejected God as the Creator?

Ep. 128 - A prominent conservative recently made some comments about porn that got everyone talking. Many started discussing whether viewing porn was an okay substitute for actually going out and cheating on (committing adultery) your spouse. Do men  need sexual variety and therefore need porn as a way to handle their sexuality well? Is porn an okay addition if you and your spouse have a committed relationship? Should you be thankful your husband is viewing porn rather than sleeping around? Let's unpack all of this and more with Bethany's husband, David Beal.

Ep. 127 - Enjoy this replay. Finding purpose, worth, identity, and true joy are core desires of every woman. Sadly though, many of us are finding ourselves in a place that is void of the very things we long for. This is because we're looking to ourselves and the world for answers about our purpose, worth, and identity as women rather than God's Word.We need to remind ourselves that God is our loving creator and has an amazing plan for our lives as females. Our deepest desires will only be realized when we fully surrender our lives to God and get back to His timeless design for our womanhood.Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart: Discover the Beauty and Freedom of God-Defined Sexuality NEW Personal Retreat Journal Girl Defined: God's Radical Design for Beauty, Femininity and Identity Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story Love Defined: Embracing God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships Shine Bright Devotional 8-Week Girl Defined Mentorship Course Biblical Counseling Link Support the showFOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube Facebook Pinterest

Guess what? We're not a fan of this movement. We think the issue of pronouns is a big one. We need something more helpful than pronouns. Let's unpack what God's Word has to say and see if we can find lasting answers to the question "Who am I?"NEW BOOK -  Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story Love Defined Book Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart BookGirl Defined Book Shine Bright Devotional Support the showFOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube Facebook Pinterest

Ep. 104 - Christian women often feel extremely uncomfortable talking about sex. It seems there is an unspoken rule to keep everything super "hush-hush." This is ridiculous. Most women have big questions about sex and we (as Christians) should be the first to talk about this area of life. God designed sex. There should be no shame in trying to understand the ins-and-outs of His good design. In today's episode, we're unpacking your biggest questions about sex & intimacy (all from a biblical worldview).
