Going There in Conversations with Christian Women

If you are a parent or not, we all have some wisdom to gain in this conversation. Parenting can be one of the most humbling experiences and even apart from parenting yourself, we all were parented by someone. You may describe your parenting or experience of being parented as joyful, hard, painful or all of the above. Join us and our friend, Julie Sexten, as we talk about mindfulness in parenting and how we can pursue God as our perfect parent. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Maybe one of the hardest areas to be mindful is in our relationships. People are dynamic creatures- with different personalities, wants, desires and needs- all created by God for good and with purpose. And then God said not to make man alone, so He built us for community with others who are also sinful and dynamic. That said, we have a lot to talk about! Join us and our friend, Christina Richardson, as we discuss how the Bible talks about mindfulness in our relationships and how we navigate them with love, grace and wisdom.

We all make many decisions in a day- some big and some small, some that may impact a lot, and some that may impact only a few. So how do we appropriately seek wisdom and counsel when making these decisions, but also not get anxious and overanalyze? Join us as we talk with our friend, Polly Conner, about how to make mindful decisions and continue to keep Jesus at the forefront. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

For two girls who co-host podcast, and are not often at a loss for words, this topic cuts deep! We are told in scripture that our tongue can bring death or life- oof! Join us and our friend Heather Cox, as we are reminded of the power of our words. We hope you are left with encouragement, conviction and hope that with God, we can be women who are mindful of what we say to ourselves and others. Craving more from Going There the Podcast?

All throughout the Bible we hear the importance of our minds. We are told to "take every through captive", to "set our minds on things above", and to be "transformed by the renewing of our minds". But how do we do that? What does that mindfulness in practice actually look like? Introducing a 4-week mini-series about Mindfulness- focusing in our Words, Decision Making, Relationships and Parenting. We are going to gain some serious wisdom from our friends who are older and wiser so we hope you join us! Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

If you are like us, often you can feel defeated, overwhelmed and overcome. We believe, that one of the sweetest things about following Jesus is that in these moments, we are brought to our knees accepting who we are, and praising God for who He is. But how do we become women and a community of believers that can remember that and have that posture in these moments? Join us and our new friend, Laura Smith and we dive into the truths of her new book and how we can be brave in Christ.

We are all juggling many things- relationships, healthy living, friendships, marriages, raising kids, succeeding at a job, taking care of a home and abounding other responsibilities. In most of these areas of life we set goals we want to achieve. We make a plan & we work towards that goal. But what is the goal of the Christian life? What are we really aiming for? Join Christian and Samantha as they discuss just that and how we stay focused on the goal in a world and culture that would love nothing more than to distract us.

In a world and culture that preaches and sells the lie of busyness=importance, it takes intentionality to function differently. It's too often that our relationships, jobs, kids, work and social life get the best of us and God gets the leftovers. But imagine a world where that was reversed? That our lives actually were an outpouring of God within us. Join us and our new friend, author and fellow podcaster Tara Sun as we talk about the slippery slope of becoming overwhelmed and overbooked and how we can learn to make choices to live in the truth of who God made us to be instead.

All throughout the Bible we are given guidelines as to how to live our lives in line with the gospel. These guidelines are meant for our flourishing, abundance, joy and security. But often times in our human nature and the realities of living in a broken world, we see warning signs and simply blow past them. Join us as we talk about growing in wisdom of how to recognize these warning signs and pivot our actions, words or thoughts to be aligned with how Christ calls us to live.

You may be hearing the words "embryo adoption" for the first time, or maybe you or a close loved one have walked this journey before.

Grief is hard, dynamic, emotional, and often unexpected. Our culture and world promote a narrative that you can act however in your grief, even if it means functioning in an unhealthy way or in sin. We believe the Bible actually preaches a hopeful alternative. One that, even in grief, calls us into the bigger story God has for our life and into deeper relationship with Christ. Join us as we talk about our personal experiences with grief and how we can support and care for one another well in these sad seasons. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Join us and our new friend Natalie, as we talk about friendship! Friendships, esp sometimes with girls, are hard. They are dynamic, can be emotional, tender and sometimes just plain tricky to navigate. But what if we were Christian women who chose to function apart from that stereotype and learned how to love with compassion, extend care without jealously and cheered for others without bitterness. Listen in to hear from Natalie how we can push past this script and live in a sisterhood community as God created.
