    Misunderstood and Transformed ft Megan Ashley: A Powerful Journey of Faith

    Being misunderstood is complicated for all of us; even if we pay little attention to how others perceive us in real life or online. Being misunderstood or judged in the public eye, however, is even more complex. In this episode, we discuss the stark difference between having Christian values and truly submitting to Christ, offer insight into centreing too much on anxieties that we’ve fabricated, and hone in on how vital self-reflection and honesty are in every aspect of our lives. We sat with Megan Ashley and heard her raw story of the last pivotal couple of years and how she’s being revitalised. How do we live authentically in our culture today whilst actually following God fully?

    Big Dreams & Big Health Issues

    Living with chronic health conditions can be a challenging cross to bear for both our personal and professional lives, but we’re leaning into the ways we can find the strength to persevere. We explore how nurturing our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being aligns with creating a closer relationship with God, and how our pain can be a tool to help encourage ourselves and others. Join us as we embrace the power of hope in Christ, both in the possibility of healing in this life and our complete renewal in the next. How can we trust God and maintain a steadfast faith while praying for wisdom and healing when our health is deteriorating, and we're longing for life to be the way it used to be?

    From Sex Worker to Pastor: Why My Past Doesn't Define My Future

    We’re unpacking the difference between societal and biblical views on sex and intimacy. We’ll explore the idea of true liberation, and touch on where modern feminism sometimes misses the mark. We’re getting real about embracing second chances, healing, and creating a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and our Creator. This week Jade Tendo tells us her experience of entering and exiting the sex work industry, and switching lanes to profess the Gospel. How do we process and let go of sexual shame connected to the way we used to live?

    The Juggle Is Real: How I Manage Motherhood, Identity & Ambition

    Many of us always feel like we’re constantly striving to do better and be better in our careers, in our families, and in our love lives. While there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious to be the best for ourselves, and those around us, we can sometimes find ourselves neglecting our spiritual wellbeing in the midst of trying to have it all as women. We want to see us all thriving in every part of our lives, and find out what lies at the heart of us being at the top of our game.  Can women embrace motherhood and entrepreneurship evenly, or will there always be a sense of lack or guilt for not feeling fulfilled in one area?

    Ep 60 | How To Rise After the Loss of a Spouse

    It’s a sobering thought that death is one of the few certainties of life, and most of us have or will have to experience losing someone close to us. Even as women who believe in the hope of eternal life, it doesn’t make grieving any less painful. Our real and raw feelings aren’t a sign of slow or stagnant healing, but a sign that we cherished someone so dearly and miss them being present in our lives. This week we hear Sarah’s touching story of losing her husband in her 30s and navigating that as a woman, wife and mother. How can we find balance in taking the time to process life-shattering events and honouring the loss of life, while not being wholly defined by it? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Sarah Stephen in the Magnify Studio for Ep 60 ‘How To Rise After the Loss of a Spouse’.
