    Are You Ready For A NEW NAME? (Genesis 32:28)

    There’s a part of you that doesn’t even realize you’re still holding on to an older version of you. You can change your habits, your relationships, your faith, even your whole life, and still be carrying an identity that belongs to a woman you’ve already outgrown. In this episode, we go back to the story of Jacob wrestling with God in a whole new way and with a brand new name. (And, yes, this is where the name "She Wrestles with God" comes from, so we'll go deeper into that, too.) Bible Verse: Genesis 32 : 28 -  Then he said, 'Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God.'

    FAITH IS A SPORT (1 Corinthians 9:24)

    You're giving Jesus the minimum, yet wondering why your trust in God isn't getting any stronger. In this episode, we explore the concept of treating faith (and prayer and Bible study and worship) like a sport -- a mental, physical, and spiritual sport. And, what would itlook like if your relationship with God stopped being something you squeezed in and started becoming something that you're training for? Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 9:24 -  "Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it."  Follow Giselle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giselleugarte/ Follow She Wrestles with God on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shewithgod/ Show Notes: Catholic Study Bible: https://amzn.to/4yh4Cp6 NIV Study Bible: https://amzn.to/47GFDR9 (This is NOT mine.

    You Can't Ruin My Day (Proverbs 31:25)

    This episode is about PROTECTING YOUR JOY and not giving anybody the power to ruin your day. My wedding was absolutely PERFECT, but NOT because nothing went wrong. So much did NOT go according to plan, and I’m honestly so in love with how we handled it. Sometimes, it’s the days you’re most excited about, the ones you plan for, prepare for, and pray over, that are the easiest to ruin when even the smallest things go sideways. So here’s to laughing sooner, recovering faster, and refusing to let one imperfect moment get the final word. SHE'S BACK AND SHE'S MARRIED!!! THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE.

    When You Need to FOCUS (Philippians 4:8-9)

    This is especially for you if you are feeling wayyy too busy, distracted, and/or overwHelmed. We've officially hit WEDDING WEEK over here, so there is no shortage of things to do, places to be, and people who need me -- and you don't have to be in your bridal era to know what that "thinking you need to be everywhere and all at once" feeling is like. In this episode we're talking all about distraction management, focusing on what is GOOD and necessary, and making so very sure you get into and stay in relationship with the Lord (and how we can trick ourselves into thinking we are too busy for God).

    Learning to LOVE YOURSELF (Proverbs 31:29-30)

    You’ve spent enough time believing you need to be thinner, prettier, more successful, more desirable, more SOMETHING before you’re finally allowed to feel worthy. But, who taught you that? If you’ve been battling insecurity, comparison, shame, or that relentless feeling that you’re still not (and will never be) enough, this episode is going to challenge every single one of those ugly voices in your head and remind you who -- and, most importantly, WHOSE -- you are.

    The Prayer That ALWAYS Works (John 15:1-2)

    You know that one person (or situation or thing) you keep going back and forth on, wondering if they actually belong in your life? (And deep down, you might already know the answer -- you’re just scared to hear it out loud.) There’s one prayer God answers for me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And if you’re finally ready for the TRUTH, stop everything and pray this with me...

    Should You Write Your Own VOWS? (1 Peter 4:8)

    We're less than two weeks away from my wedding, which means I especially want to focus on relationship-strengthening content and answering questions about how we've been preparing for this season. This episode is inspired by one of our listeners who is determined to write her own vows, but doesn't quite know what she wants to say, even after listening to our TIL DEATH DO US PART episode that was ALL about the meaning of the traditional vows (linked below). Whether you're single, engaged, or married, this one will make you think (and probably never listen to vows the same way again).

    When They Question Your FAITH (1 Peter 3:15)

    You don't need a theology degree or a perfectly memorized Bible verse to talk about your faith. But, if somebody asked you today why you believe what you believe, would your answer come from conviction... or would you stumble, step back, or even freeze? In today's episode we talk about being prepared for the ones who question.
