    Intersections Series: Wise Counsel, Faith-filled Friendships and Teachability w/Hannah Irby

    Send us a Message We’re continuing the journey through the life of Paul the Apostle, looking at four monumental “stop and go” moments that paved the way for him to form meaningful connections and live in deep community with others.  This week, we have Hannah Irby from Abilene Christian University along for the ride. We talk about everything from our need for wise counsel and faith-filled friendships to the importance of having a heart of teachability. Together, we share stories that shine a light on our need for others while drawing parallels to the biblical story of Paul the apostle’s encounter with Ananias.     We discuss the ways laughter heals and tears bind. Hannah's insights, drawn from her personal experiences, help drive home the need for wise counsel and mentorship in our lives. These connections are like soul fuel – providing us with the support and guidance we need to live out God's purposes for us!     We wrap up by pondering the importance of forgiveness and love when it comes to building deep friendships. Tune in to hear how Hannah's pursuit of wisdom led to open doors and how being receptive to guidance connects us with others. We leave you with encouragement to take off the old self and put on your new self in Christ. As always, we hope this conversation inspires you to foster meaningful conversations with the girls in your life.  Consider this your  personal invitation to pull up a seat and join us at our table of brave conversation – to be inspired, to laugh, to learn, and to grow in faith with those around you, including the girls in your life!

    Intersections Series: Embracing the Heart of Jesus in Relationships w/Melanie Wilson

    Send us a Message Loneliness and feeling disconnected are things lots of girls and women deal with these days. Even if you're not feeling that way right now, chances are you know someone who is. So let's talk about making meaningful connections with others because it's so super important! God made us for tight-knit community. He's like the ultimate matchmaker, bringing people together and showing us how to find joy in our relationships. He’s more than big enough to intersect our lives with the people He wants us to grow alongside! In this new series, we're looking at the life of Paul the Apostle and examining four life-altering moments that led him into deep community with others. His transformation journey starts with a wild encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus! That moment was a complete game-changer for him, and it's a reminder that God can totally flip our perspective and give us a fresh way of looking at things. Let’s open our hearts to receive where he might want to do that for us in this series! In our kickoff episode of the “Intersections” series were chatting with best-selling author and speaker Melanie Wilson about transformation, vulnerability, the power of love & and walking the path to building the kinds of friendships our hearts are craving.  Melanie's been through some tough stuff herself, but now she's all about helping other women rise up and find their strength. She's even got a background in counseling and psychology, which totally shines through in her best-selling book, Unsilenced. Plus, Melanie's like a modern-day cowgirl. She spends time on a ranch in Florida where she hangs out with horses - how cool is that?    So, grab a seat and join us for some real talk. We're all about having meaningful conversations here, and we hope our chats inspire you to have some awesome heart-to-hearts with the girls in your life. Let's make friendship magic happen together!
