As the only married woman in the conversation, Madison closes by offering pearls of wisdom rooted in Scripture, encouraging listeners to uphold biblical standards without getting caught up in the small, petty things.

    Seriously, Sis Podcast: Ep. 11 – Why We Don’t Do New Year’s Resolutions (and What We Do Instead)

    In this episode, we talk about New Year’s resolutions and why we don’t make them. Not because goals are bad, but because impulsive decisions without a plan (and without God) often lead to frustration and failure. It doesn’t matter when you start, but how you start - with intention, prayer, discipline, and direction from the Lord.  Scriptures Referenced Habakkuk 2:2 Proverbs 16:9 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Check us out!

    Seriously, Sis Podcast: Ep. 6 – Wives, Submit? Let’s Talk About It.

    “Wives, submit to your husbands” is an often quoted and sometimes misunderstood verse in the Bible. In this episode, we unpack what biblical submission actually is and how it ultimately reflects the relationship between The Father, Christ, and the Church. One of us shares what she’s learning as a single woman preparing for marriage, and the other shares what it looks like to live it out as a wife. Together, we talk about how submission is about function, not value, and how both husbands and wives are called to sacrificially love one another as Christ loves the Church.
