    Joy & Peace: Our Inner Landscape

    ✨ Joy steadies the heart. Peace steadies the ground. In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, the girls talk about joy and peace — the kind that isn’t dependent on circumstances, emotions, or how life feels in the moment. They unpack the difference between happiness and Spirit-grown joy, and how Biblical peace isn’t the absence of chaos, but the presence of Christ in the middle of it. Through honest conversation and Scripture, they explore how abiding in Jesus produces a deep, steady confidence that holds firm when life feels unpredictable or overwhelming. If you’ve been searching for stability in a season that feels heavy, this episode is a reminder that joy and peace aren’t things you have to chase — they’re gifts that grow when you stay rooted in Him. Unshaken joy. Unmoved peace. 🌿 Scriptures referenced:  Psalm 16:11 ESV Luke 2:10-11 ESV James 1:2-3 NKJV Hebrews 12:2 NKJV  Philippians 4:4 NLT

    Love: More than a Feeling

    ❤️ Love isn’t the fruit, it’s the root showing itself. In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, the girls dig into love. Not as a feeling we chase or a behavior we force, but as evidence of a life rooted in Christ. They talk about how Biblical love is formed in abiding, how it reshapes the way we love God and others, and why love is the fruit that informs every other fruit that follows. This conversation challenges cultural definitions of love and gently re-centers us on the kind of love that is sacrificial, steady, and Spirit-grown. If you’ve ever felt pressure to love perfectly instead of loving faithfully, this episode is a reminder that real love grows naturally when we stay connected to the source. Rooted in Him. Reflected through love. 🌿 Scripture References: Galatians 5:22-23 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 1 John 3:16 Romans 5:8 John 13:34-35 Luke 6:27-28 1 John 4:19 John 15:9-10 Romas 5:5 Numbers 6:24-26

    A Cultivated Life of Abiding

    🍇 Fruit doesn’t come from striving, it comes from abiding. We’re kicking off a brand-new series on the Fruit of the Spirit by starting where Jesus started: abiding. In this episode, the girls slow way down and talk about what it really means to remain connected to Christ. Not performing for Him, not producing on demand, but living rooted in Him as the true Vine. Drawing from John 15, Isaiah’s vineyard imagery, and the truth of who Jesus is as Creator and Sustainer, the conversation unpacks why fruit is the result of relationship, not effort. They also explore how the Word of God shapes us from the inside out, how obedience flows from love, and why abiding is the foundation for every fruit listed in Galatians 5. If you’ve been exhausted by trying to “do enough” spiritually, this episode is an invitation to come back to the source and let growth happen the way God designed it to. Stay connected. Stay rooted. Let Him do the growing. 🌱 Scripture References: John 15:1-7 Isaiah 5:1-2 Colossians 1:15-16 Hebrews 4:12 John 15:10 Galatians 5:22-23

    Praise Him Always

    🙏 Prayer isn’t the backup plan, it’s the battle plan. As the armor goes on, the girls close out The Armory by talking about praying at all times in the Spirit, the posture that activates every piece we’ve talked about. This episode dives into what it means to stay connected to God throughout your day, how praise shifts the atmosphere of a battle, and why prayer isn’t just something we do when we’re desperate, it’s how we stay alert, anchored, and aligned. From whispered prayers to bold praise, this conversation reminds us that we don’t fight alone and we don’t fight silent. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep standing when the battle feels long, this episode brings it home: armor protects you and prayer keeps you moving. Suit up. Stay alert. Stay connected. Scripture References: Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT)  Matthew 36:36-39 (NKJV) 1 Thessalonians 5:16-26 (NKJV)

    The Sword of the Spirit: Wielding God's Word in the Daily Grind

    ⚔️ The Word isn’t decorative, it’s decisive. This week in The Armory, the girls take up the Sword of the Spirit, the only offensive weapon in the armor of God. They talk about why Scripture isn’t meant to sit on a shelf, how Jesus Himself used the Word to fight back, and what it looks like to know the Word well enough to wield it with confidence and discernment. This episode isn’t about winning arguments or quoting verses to sound spiritual, it’s about letting the Word of God shape your thoughts, guard your heart, and cut through lies when the battle gets loud. If you’ve ever felt unprepared, unsure, or intimidated by Scripture, this is your reminder: the sword was placed in your hand on purpose. Know the Word. Speak the Word. Stand firm.

    The Helmet of Salvation: Guarding Our Mind from the "Pinterest Perfect" Trap

    🪖 Protect your mind, salvation changes how you think. This week in The Armory, the girls fasten the Helmet of Salvation, the piece of armor that guards your mind, your thoughts, and your hope. They unpack why the enemy so often targets what you believe about yourself, your future, and your standing with God, and how salvation isn’t just a moment you remember, it’s a truth you live from every single day. From battling intrusive thoughts to breaking agreement with lies about worth, shame, and fear, this episode reminds you that salvation secures more than eternity, it stabilizes your mind right now. If your thoughts have been noisy, discouraging, or heavy, this is your reminder to suit up and stand firm in what’s already been won. Saved. Secure. Steady.

    New Year, New Garden

    ✨ This isn’t a resolution, it’s a revelation. As the new year begins, the girls take a different approach than the usual “new year, new you” mindset. This episode is all about stepping into the new identity already given to you in Christ, not striving to improve yourself or earn something God has already declared over you. They talk about the difference between self-made change and Spirit-led transformation, what it looks like to lay down old labels, and how walking in your God-given identity shifts the way you think, live, and move into a new season. If you’ve ever felt pressure to become “better” instead of simply becoming who God says you are, this episode is your permission to exhale. You’re not starting over, you’re stepping into who you’ve already been made to be. 🌿 Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God study - https://www.lifeway.com/en/product-family/armor-of-god

    Christmas in the Garden

    🎄 Christmas didn’t start in a manger, it started with a promise. This week, the girls slow down and dig deep into the story behind the season by tracing the genealogy of Jesus on both His earthly parents’ sides. From broken family lines to unlikely names, they unpack how God intentionally wove redemption through generations long before Bethlehem. They also connect the dots between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, showing how Christmas isn’t just a moment, it’s the culmination of centuries of faith, waiting, and divine faithfulness. This episode is part Bible study, part wonder, and part reminder that God keeps His promises… even when it takes longer than we expect. The light didn’t arrive suddenly, it arrived right on time. ✨
