Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversations

Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation  is a safe space for anyone who's ever felt overlooked, overwhelmed, or off-track. Through honest conversation, biblical truth, and sisterhood/brotherhood that goes beyond blood, we journey together—restored by grace, grounded in faith, and called for more. Where two faith-filled women dive into real-life topics with honesty, scripture, and sisterhood and brotherhood. It’s where truth speaks, grace covers, and everyone  is welcomed just as we are.  John 1:16 (NIV) “Out of His fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.” We choose John 1:16 because it reflects the layers of grace we talk about—the redemptive grace, the sustaining grace, the identity-giving grace—and it speaks to the fullness of Christ that we prayer pours into our listeners.  Isaiah 40:31“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” We choose this verse because it emphasizes the strength, endurance, and renewal that come from placing trust in God, which perfectly aligns with resilience, faith, and empowerment within our podcast. It speaks to the idea that, even in challenging times, women can find strength and grace through their faith, soaring above life's difficulties with renewed strength.   “Rooted in truth. Covered in grace. Carried by faith.”

    “When God Rewrites the Label: Addiction, Identity & the Power of Redemption”(Co-Hosted with Dad: A Father–Daughter Conversation on Recovery & Jesus)

    Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you! In this heartfelt father–daughter conversation, Shannon sits down with her dad to talk openly about addiction, recovery, identity — and what it truly means to move from who you were to who God says you are. What began as an episode about dropping old labels quickly turned into a raw, Spirit-led conversation about NA, accountability, shame, healing, and how God uses community AND grace to restore broken places. Shannon and her dad explore why recovery groups use the term “addict,” how that label functions in healing, and how Scripture declares something deeper: redeemed, restored, made new. This episode is for anyone who has battled addiction, loves someone who has, or is trying to reconcile recovery with faith. You’ll hear real testimony, biblical truth, emotional honesty, and the beautiful reminder that God never wastes a story — He rewrites it. KEY BIBLE VERSES 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”  Identity isn’t earned — it’s given.  Psalm 40:1–3 “He lifted me out of the slimy pit… He set my feet on a rock… Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him.”  God doesn’t just pull you out — He puts you on solid ground.  John 8:36 “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”  Recovery is daily. Redemption is eternal.  Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”  Shame is not your portion anymore.  Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you fulfill the law of Christ.”  Community matters — NA, church, family, support systems. We heal together.  ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE LISTENERFriend, whether you’re in recovery, walking with someone who is, or wrestling with your own identity, hear this: You are not who your past says you are. You are not the worst thing you’ve ever done. And you are not stuck carrying labels forever. God calls you: ✨ Redeemed ✨ Chosen ✨ Restored ✨ Loved ✨ New ✨ His Recovery may describe where you’ve been.  But redemption describes where you’re going. Your story is not over.  Your healing is not wasted.  And your testimony has power — not despite your past, but because of what Jesus has done through it. God is still writing.  He is still healing.  He is still using every chapter — even the messy ones. CLOSING PRAYER FOR LISTENERSDear Lord Jesus, Thank You for Your presence, for Your saving power, and for the way You rewrite our lives with grace. Thank You that no label from our past has more authority than the name You speak over us: redeemed, forgiven, restored, loved. For every listener who is battling addiction, shame, or old identities — breathe fresh hope into them. Remind them that they are not beyond Your reac We want this to be truly interactive podcast.

    Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you! Have you ever come home from a beautiful vacation, retreat, or spiritual high and suddenly felt empty or sad — like the peace you just experienced slipped through your fingers? In this heartfelt solo episode, host Shannon Mooney opens up about her recent trip to Maine — a week filled with breathtaking views, crisp air, and peace — and the emotional fog that followed once she got home.

But thank You also for the valleys, where You teach us to depend on You.  For the listener today who feels weary, lonely, or emotionally drained — breathe new life into her. Let her feel Your nearness even in the gray skies.  Remind her that peace isn’t found in a place, but in a Person — You, Jesus.  Let her see Your hand in the ordinary.  Renew her joy, restore her hope, and wrap her heart in Your unchanging love.  In Jesus’ name, amen.” 🌿 ENDING ENCOURAGEMENT   “Sisters, maybe you’re in a gloomy week — emotionally or even spiritually. But remember this: peace isn’t just for the mountaintop. It’s for the middle.  God is in your morning coffee, your rainy walks, your quiet tears, and your laughter too. You don’t have to chase the feeling of peace — you just have to rest in the presence of Peace Himself.” If you’re feeling weary, lonely, or spiritually drained, this episode will remind you that peace isn’t found in a place — it’s found in the presence of Jesus.

    Unshakeable: The Battle for Your Peace & Joy

    Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you! Episode Description: Peace and joy are not emotions — they’re spiritual anchors. Yet every day, life tries to shake them loose. In this episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation, we’re getting real about the battle for your peace and joy — and how to stand unshakeable when everything around you feels uncertain. The enemy’s greatest weapon isn’t always chaos; sometimes it’s distraction. He knows if he can steal your peace, he can drain your joy — and when your joy fades, so does your strength. But God has given us divine tools to stay grounded, centered, and filled with His Spirit no matter the storm. Together, we’ll unpack how to guard your peace, protect your joy, and live from the unshakable foundation of Christ — because no circumstance can steal what the Holy Spirit has sealed within you. 📖 Anchor Verses: John 16:33 (NIV) “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV) “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”Psalm 16:8 (NLT) “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.”💡 Encouragement: You were never meant to live at the mercy of your emotions or your circumstances. When life feels heavy, peace and joy can feel out of reach — but the truth is, they live inside you through the Holy Spirit. Peace isn’t the absence of trouble; it’s the presence of God.  Joy isn’t found in what’s happening; it’s found in Who is happening in you. So when the waves rise, don’t forget: you’re not sinking — you’re standing on solid ground. 🕊️ How to Stay Unshakeable: Practical Guide Pause Before You React When life shakes you, don’t respond out of emotion — respond out of alignment. Take a breath and invite the Holy Spirit into that moment. Peace enters where reaction ends.Protect Your Focus What you fix your eyes on will determine your peace level. Guard your mind from negativity, comparison, and constant noise. Feed your spirit more than your scroll.Practice Joy Daily Joy isn’t a feeling — it’s a decision. Start your day thanking God for one thing. Gratitude breaks the spirit of heaviness.Stay in Community Isolation feeds anxiety. Surround yourself with faith-filled sisters who remind you of truth when life feels unstable.Remember the Source Your peace and joy don’t come from how things look — they come from Who never changes. When the world shakes, hold onto the One who never will.🙏 Closing Prayer: Father, thank You for being my peace when life feels chaotic and my joy when my heart feels weary.  Teach me to stand unshakeable in Your truth — anchored, not anxious; joyful, not fearful.  Remind me that peace is my portion and joy is my strength because You live within me.

    “When God’s Yes Comes Full Circle”

    Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you! Episode Description: Have you ever waited on a “yes” from God — prayed for it, cried over it, and then when it finally came, it didn’t look the way you expected? This episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation dives deep into the beauty and mystery of when God’s yes comes full circle — those moments when what once didn’t make sense finally clicks into place. Sometimes His “yes” isn’t immediate. It unfolds slowly through seasons of pruning, preparation, and purpose. But when His promise finally comes around, it reminds us that God’s timing is never off — it’s orchestrated. Together, we’ll unpack how to recognize when God’s yes is in motion, how to steward it with gratitude, and how to stay faithful in the in-between. Because when God brings something full circle, it’s never just about the blessing — it’s about the transformation that happened along the way. 📖 Anchor Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) – “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”Philippians 1:6 (NLT) – “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”💡 Encouragement: When God’s yes finally comes full circle, it often meets you as a healed version of yourself — the “you” that’s ready to hold what you once only hoped for. Don’t rush the circle. Trust that every delay, detour, and disappointment had a divine purpose. God never wastes your waiting; He weaves it into your becoming. If you’re in the middle of the circle — still unsure where the story is headed — remember: God’s yes doesn’t expire; it matures. 🪞How to Recognize and Steward God’s Full-Circle “Yes” Reflect Before You Rejoice: Take a moment to look back. What prayers has God already answered that you might’ve missed because you moved on too fast? Gratitude brings clarity.Stay Rooted in Relationship, Not Results: When the blessing comes, don’t let the gift distract you from the Giver. Keep your eyes fixed on the One who brought you through.Use What You’ve Learned: God’s full-circle moments are meant to be shared. Testify. Encourage someone else who’s still waiting — your story is proof that His promises are real.Guard Against Pride or Comparison: Remember that every circle is different. What He does for you is designed for your timeline and purpose. Celebrate others, but stay content in your own process.🙏 Closing Prayer: Father, thank You for being the God who finishes what You start.  Even when I couldn’t see it, You were working. Thank You for every delay that developed me, every no that protected me, and every yes that is coming full circle in Your perfect timing.  Teach me to trust You more than the outcome and to see Your fingerprints in every phase of my story.  When my “yes” finally unfolds, help me hold it with humility, gratitude, We want this to be truly interactive podcast.

    “Managing Answered Prayers: Trusting God’s Yes”

    Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you!  In this episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation, Shannon and Deb dig into a part of faith we don’t often talk about—what happens when God actually says yes to our prayers. Sometimes His answers bring unexpected challenges, responsibilities, or new seasons we didn’t fully prepare for. Together, we’ll share stories of answered prayers that stretched us, how to steward blessings well, and why God’s “yes” requires just as much faith as His “wait.”   Encouragement for Listeners God’s “yes” is never meant to overwhelm you—it’s an invitation to deeper trust. Every answered prayer carries both blessing and responsibility, but you don’t have to carry it alone. Remember, the same God who gave the provision will also give the wisdom, strength, and grace to manage it. Trust His timing, lean on His presence, and know that His “yes” always aligns with His good plans for you. Prayer for Followers to Say “Father, thank You for hearing my prayers and for the ways You’ve answered them in my life. Help me to steward Your blessings with wisdom, gratitude, and faith. When Your ‘yes’ feels bigger than I can handle, remind me that You are with me and that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Teach me to trust Your timing and Your plan, knowing that every good gift comes from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Key Bible Verses on Trusting God’s Yes James 1:17 – “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”Proverbs 10:22 – “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.”Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” We want this to be truly interactive podcast.
