    In Praise of Houseflies: Finding Grace in Life’s Everyday Quandaries with Elise Tegegne

    What if some of the moments we are quickest to dismiss, complain about, or wish away are actually inviting us to pay closer attention? In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we welcome author Elise Tegegne for a conversation about finding redemptive glimmers in the ordinary challenges of life. Drawing from her book, In Praise of Houseflies: Meditations on the Gifts in Everyday Quandaries, Elise reflects on experiences ranging from canceled flights to sleepless nights and the surprising lessons hidden within them. Because life doesn’t always teach us through the big moments. Sometimes it is the inconvenience. The interruption. The thing that didn’t go according to plan. Even the proverbial housefly that simply will not leave us alone. Together, we talk about slowing down long enough to notice what our everyday quandaries might be teaching us and how even frustrating or uncomfortable moments can become places where hope, joy, redemption, and grace quietly emerge. Maybe the invitation isn’t always to escape the inconvenience. Maybe sometimes it is to ask, What can I notice here that I would have missed otherwise? Join us for a thoughtful conversation about paying attention, remaining open to God’s work in unexpected places, and learning to recognize the abundant graces blossoming right in the middle of ordinary life. About the Book: In Praise of Houseflies: Meditations on the Gifts in Everyday Quandaries is published by Calla Press and is available through Calla Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Eighth Day Books, Hearts & Minds, Nooks, Landmark Booksellers, and wherever books are sold. www.elisetegegne.com

    Letting Go: Finding Peace When Life Doesn’t Unfold the Way We Imagined

    We all carry expectations. Some are about the big things: the life we thought we’d have, the relationships we hoped would look different, the prayers we expected to be answered another way. Others are found in the ordinary moments, when a conversation doesn’t go as planned, a season changes before we’re ready, or someone we love makes choices we cannot control. The challenge isn’t always what happened. Sometimes it’s learning to let go of how we thought it should have happened. In this episode, we talk about the courage it takes to release our expectations without releasing our faith. Letting go isn’t giving up. It’s choosing to trust God when His plans look different than our own. It’s making peace with what we cannot control while remaining hopeful for what He is still doing. As we loosen our grip on our own understanding, we often discover the freedom, joy, and peace that have been waiting on the other side of surrender. Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”  Proverbs 3:5–6 Join us as we encourage one another to release what we were never meant to carry, embrace the beauty of the present moment, and trust that even when life unfolds differently than we imagined, God is still faithfully writing our story.   Join us on this journey as we navigate life together, embracing every moment with faith and determination. Through engaging conversations, we share practical insights and personal anecdotes that will inspire and empower you to live a life with hope and intention.

    Midyear: Reflecting on How Far You’ve Come and Where You’re Headed

    The middle of the year offers a gift we don’t often give ourselves, the opportunity to pause. In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we’re taking time to reflect on the journey so far. We’ll share the joys we’ve celebrated, the challenges we’ve faced, the lessons we’ve learned, and the ways God has faithfully met us in every season. Reflection isn’t about living in the past. It’s about recognizing God’s hand in our story so we can step into what’s next with greater wisdom, gratitude, and hope. Together, we’ll talk about celebrating progress over perfection, extending ourselves grace for the things that didn’t go as planned, and looking ahead with anticipation instead of pressure. No matter what the first half of your year has looked like, there is still purpose in this season, and God is not finished writing your story. Scripture: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:18–19 As we enter the second half of the year, may we release what belongs behind us, embrace the new things God is doing, and move forward together with faith, purpose, and expectancy. Thank you for joining us on Sisters on Purpose. If this conversation encouraged you, we’d love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a sister or friend who could use a little hope as she steps into the season ahead.
