    The Woman You're Still Becoming | Ep 42

    Finding Your Voice, Your Worth, and God's Purpose in Every Season Have you ever looked back at the woman you used to be and wondered how you became the woman you are today? Or perhaps you're still trying to figure out who God created you to be. Here's something worth remembering: God isn't finished with you yet! In this heartfelt In His Circle Community Conversation, Tiffany Windsor and Heather Brigstock explore the beautiful, sometimes messy, and often surprising journey of becoming the women God created us to be. Heather shares her personal story, from a young missionary wife in Scotland trying desperately to meet the expectations of others to a woman gradually discovering her confidence, her gifts, and the freedom of living in God's grace. It wasn't an overnight transformation. There were difficult seasons, painful words, unexpected changes, and plenty of moments when she questioned whether she measured up. But through it all, God was quietly shaping something beautiful. And as Heather reminds us, our value isn't found in our successes, and our failures don't diminish our worth. Our value comes from what God says about us. Using the imagery of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, Tiffany and Heather talk about the seasons when women feel stuck in their cocoons, held back by fear, comparison, grief, or the expectations of others. They also explore how the hardships we experience can either hold us back or become opportunities for growth, and why surrounding ourselves with women of faith can make such a difference in our lives. Tiffany shares her own perspective on discovering new friendships, growing in faith, and embracing new beginnings in her 70s. Because becoming who God created us to be doesn't come with an expiration date! Perhaps the most encouraging part of this conversation is recognizing that none of us has completely arrived. We're all still learning, growing, healing, and discovering the gifts God has placed within us. Maybe you're still in the cocoon. Maybe you're beginning to see your wings. Or maybe you're finally ready to fly. Wherever you find yourself today, there's still more to your story. And the woman you're still becoming? She's worth getting to know.

    Seedlings: Helping Isn't Always Fixing | Ep 41

    Helping Isn’t Always Fixing Loving Others Without Carrying What Belongs to God Have you ever appointed yourself CEO of other people’s problems? No election. No business card. Yet somehow you’re rewriting conversations, planning family peace treaties, and thinking, “If everyone would just listen to me for 15 minutes, I could straighten this whole thing out.” In this episode of In His Circle Seedlings, Tiffany Windsor shares a lesson she’s learned about the difference between loving someone and trying to fix them. When people we love are hurting, it’s natural to want to step in. We offer advice, smooth over conflict, replay conversations, and sometimes carry emotional burdens that were never ours to carry. But Romans 12:18 offers an important reminder: “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” We are responsible for our own words, attitudes, forgiveness, and willingness to love. We are not responsible for changing another person’s heart. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is listen well, pray faithfully, be present, and then trust God with the outcome. Because helping isn’t always fixing. Sometimes helping means carrying the people we love to Jesus instead of trying to carry them ourselves. Join Tiffany for this honest, encouraging, and occasionally funny conversation about family relationships, the recovering fixer in many of us, and the freedom that comes when we finally give God His job back.

    God Says You're Valuable: When the World Measures What You Do, God Sees Who You Are | Ep 40

    God Says You’re Valuable When the World Measures What You Do, God Sees Who You Are Who were you before the world started telling you who you were supposed to be? In this deeply personal In His Circle podcast, Tiffany Windsor and Heather Brigstock talk about the journey of becoming the woman God created you to be and what happens when we stop measuring our value by other people's expectations, our successes, or even our failures. Heather shares her own journey from a young missionary wife trying desperately to fit expectations, through seasons of feeling as though she could never quite measure up, to gradually finding her voice, recognizing the gifts God had placed within her, and becoming more fully herself. As she describes it, the transformation has been a little like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. She may not be completely out of the cocoon yet, but she can finally see the colors.  Along the way comes an important truth: your value isn't found in your successes, and your failures don't make you less valuable. Your value comes from what God says about you.  Tiffany and Heather also talk about the comparison trap, getting stuck in fear or past hurts, and refusing to let the difficult chapters of our stories define the chapters still to come. Whether you're in your 20s, 40s, 50s, 70s, or somewhere in between, God isn't finished growing you.  And sometimes part of that growth is choosing the right women to walk beside you. Women who share your faith, remind you of your value, encourage you forward, and help you see what God may be growing inside you before you can see it yourself.  Maybe you're still in the cocoon. Maybe you're just beginning to see your colors. Or maybe God is asking you to spread your wings in a way you never expected. Wherever you are in the journey, remember this: God says you’re valuable. Not because of what you've accomplished. Not because you've gotten everything right. Simply because you are His. Real Women. Real Stories. Real Faith.

    Seedlings: Keep Striking the Ground | Ep 39

    Trusting God When You Can't Yet See the Harvest What do grocery store checkout lines and the Old Testament have in common? More than you might think. In this encouraging Seedlings episode, Tiffany Windsor shares a simple everyday moment that leads to a powerful lesson from 2 Kings 13. When the prophet Elisha told the king to strike the ground with arrows, he stopped after only three strikes—and missed the fullness of what God wanted to do. How often do we do the same? When progress feels slow, prayers seem unanswered, or the numbers don't reflect our efforts, it's tempting to wonder if it's time to quit. But what if God isn't asking us to stop? What if He's simply asking us to keep striking the ground? Through personal stories, Scripture, and gentle encouragement, Tiffany reminds us that God measures faithfulness differently than the world does. While we count views, followers, and results, God sees people. And He often does His greatest work long before we can see the harvest. In this episode, you'll discover:  Why discouragement can tempt us to stop too soon  The powerful lesson behind Elisha's command to "strike the ground"  How Keep Striking the Ground connects to Keep Digging the Ditches Why God values faithfulness over visible results  The freedom that comes from trusting God with the reach instead of chasing the numbers  Encouragement for anyone wondering if their work is making a difference As Tiffany reminds us: "If God hasn't told you to stop... don't stop. Write the next page. Pray the next prayer. Take the next faithful step."If you've been feeling weary, discouraged, or tempted to give up because you can't yet see what God is doing, this episode is a gentle reminder that your obedience is never wasted.

    Courage In Spite of Fear | What Miriam Teaches Us | Ep 38

    What Miriam Teaches Us About Courage, Calling, and Guarding Our Hearts God doesn’t require perfect women to accomplish His purposes. In this In His Circle podcast episode, Tiffany Windsor and Heather Brigstock continue their journey through the women of the Bible with Miriam, a woman whose story is filled with courage, leadership, praise, influence, and some very human mistakes. As a young girl, Miriam courageously watched over her baby brother Moses and stepped forward when action was needed. Years later, she became a prophetess and led the women of Israel in praise after God’s miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea. She was a woman of action and purpose. As Heather points out, Scripture describes her with powerful verbs: she stood, she said, she went, and she called.  But Scripture also lets us see another side of Miriam. Comparison, jealousy, and bitterness eventually crept into her heart, and God corrected her. Her failure didn’t erase the significance of her life. Instead, it gives us a remarkably relatable picture of what it means to be called by God while still being a woman who is growing. Tiffany and Heather talk about finding courage when we’re afraid, keeping our eyes on God when life doesn’t go the way we expected, guarding our hearts against bitterness, and being intentional about what we allow to feed our minds and spirits.  Because courage doesn’t require perfection. Miriam’s story reminds us that God can use women who are still learning, still growing, and still allowing Him to shape their hearts. Our part is to stay close to Him, stay rooted in His Word, and have the courage to step forward when He calls. Real Women. Real Stories. Real Faith.

    Seedlings: The Quiet Ministry of Intercession| Ep 37

    Sometimes the greatest ministry you'll ever have is one that nobody else sees. In this heartfelt Seedlings episode, Tiffany Windsor reflects on the quiet, often unnoticed ministry of intercession. It begins with a simple trip to the grocery store and an unexpected thought: What if the people who suddenly come to mind aren't interruptions at all... but invitations from God to pray? Together, we'll explore the beauty of carrying others to Jesus instead of trying to carry their burdens ourselves. If you've ever stayed awake praying for a prodigal child, worried over a struggling friend, or wondered whether God was hearing your prayers, this episode is for you. We'll also discover how intercession doesn't just change the lives of those we're praying for—it changes us. As we faithfully place the people we love into God's hands, He gently teaches us trust, patience, compassion, and surrender. In this episode you'll discover:  Why those unexpected thoughts about someone may be God's invitation to pray  The difference between loving someone and trying to become their savior  How intercession frees us from carrying burdens we were never meant to bear  Why faithful prayer often transforms the one praying as much as the one being prayed for  Encouragement for anyone who has been praying for years without yet seeing the answer  The quiet confidence that comes from trusting the God who hears every prayer As Tiffany reminds us: "Never underestimate what God can do with a whispered prayer. Because sometimes the greatest ministry you'll ever have... is one that nobody sees."Whether you're praying for a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or someone God simply places on your heart, this episode is an invitation to embrace the quiet ministry of intercession—and trust the One who loves them even more than you do.

    Have We Confused What We Do With Who We Are? What Sarah's Story Teaches Us About Identity, Purpose, and Grace | Ep 36

    In this week's In His Circle podcast, Tiffany Windsor and Heather Brigstock take a conversation from Heather's women's Bible study at South Water Manor and bring it to the podcast. It begins with the story of Sarah and a powerful question: Have we confused what we do with who we are? In Sarah's world, a woman's value was closely connected to her ability to produce a son. Thousands of years later, our measurements may look different, but the pressure hasn't disappeared. Careers, businesses, motherhood, accomplishments, titles, productivity, even ministry can quietly become ways we measure our worth.  Tiffany shares how not having children led her down a different path and, looking back, how easily career and productivity became measures of her own value. Heather shares that she can fall into the same trap, allowing a successful day at South Water Manor to influence how successful she feels personally.  But there's an important distinction: God calls us to be faithful and productive, but our productivity was never meant to determine our worth. Together, Tiffany and Heather also talk about feeling unqualified, allowing God to use our imperfect stories, and living a faith that looks the same at home as it does in public. And Heather leaves us with an image that's hard to forget: Be so full of Jesus that when life jostles you, Jesus spills out.If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, achieving enough, serving enough, or somehow enough, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to prove your value to God. Your worth doesn't begin with what you bring to the table. It begins with what Jesus already brought to it. Real Women. Real Stories. Real Faith.

    Seedlings: What If I Don't Know How to Pray: Discovering That Prayer Is a Conversation, Not a Performance | Ep 35

    Have you ever listened to someone pray and thought, I could never pray like that? In this encouraging Seedlings episode, Tiffany Windsor shares the humorous - and very real - story of becoming a new Christian and feeling like everyone else had received the "secret handbook" on Christianity. While everyone else seemed to know where to find Habakkuk in seconds and prayed beautiful, eloquent prayers, Tiffany wondered if she would ever measure up. Then God gently revealed a life-changing truth: Prayer isn't a performance. It's a conversation. Through personal stories, laughter, and Scripture, Tiffany reminds us that God isn't waiting for polished words or perfect theology. He's simply inviting us to come to Him honestly, just as we are. If you've ever wondered whether you're praying "the right way," or felt intimidated by the spiritual confidence of others, this episode will encourage your heart and remind you that your Heavenly Father delights in hearing your voice. In this episode, you'll discover:  Why so many new believers feel intimidated by prayer  The surprising lesson Tiffany learned after joining a women's Bible study  How worship music helped prepare her heart long before she understood it  What Jesus teaches about prayer in Matthew 6  Why God is interested in your heart—not your vocabulary  The freedom that comes when prayer becomes a relationship instead of a performance As Tiffany shares: "Don't wait until you think you've learned enough to pray. Prayer isn't a graduation gift for people who know the whole Bible. It's how we get to know the One who wrote it."Whether you're brand new to faith or you've been walking with Jesus for years, this episode is a gentle reminder that God isn't asking for perfect prayers. He's simply inviting you to start the conversation. Real Women. Real Stories. Real Faith.
