SPIRIT FILLED GIRL TALK | Sisterhood, Iron Sharpens Iron, Follow Jesus, Identity in Christ, Surrender

Sarah Phillipe and Satin Pelfrey | Christian Sisterhood Mentors

Honest girl talk on surrender, sisterhood, contentment, identity in Christ, walking in obedience, abiding in Christ, trusting God more deeply, and being discipled by friendship. Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast. Does your walk with Jesus look more like striving than surrender? Are you exhausted from trying to figure everything out on your own — and ready to finally trust God more fully? Do you long to abide in Christ… to grow in contentment… to walk in obedience with confidence as you're following Jesus? And have you been quietly praying for real, Spirit-filled friendships to walk it out with? If so — you’re not alone. Welcome to Spirit Filled Girl Talk — the podcast for women who are done with surface-level faith and friendship, and are hungry for deeper intimacy with God and authentic Christian sisterhood that calls you up (not out). Together, we explore what it looks like to live Christ-centered instead of culturally-driven — and we want to invite you into the kind of sisterhood God uses to disciple you and strengthen your faith. We are Sarah Phillipe and Satin Pelfrey — best friends turned co-hosts, brought together by the Holy Spirit and refined through wilderness seasons where we experienced God's faithfulness. Like many women, we once believed we needed to strive, perform, and get everything “right” in order to maintain our salvation and be used by God. We believed productivity equaled purpose and that busyness was obedience — until God gently showed us the beauty of surrender. A life not rooted in performance, but in living from His love rather than for His love. He showed us that He redeems it all — that nothing is wasted. That even our suffering is used for our sanctification and His glory. That true contentment is found in abiding in Christ. And that lasting joy flows from the truth that we are fully known and deeply loved by God. As our friendship grew, we experienced the power of true Spirit-filled friendship. The kind where iron sharpens iron — where women point one another back to Jesus, pray together, encourage one another, and remind each other of their identity in Christ. Now we’re inviting you into those same conversations. If you’ve been longing for girl talk that is both honest and Spirit-led — you’ve found your people. We're here to help you live wholly, walk boldly, and cultivate life-giving Sisterhood with Jesus at the center of it all.  So pour your coffee, open your heart, and pull up a seat. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll walk away filled — not just inspired — with truth that transforms. Because this isn’t small talk. It’s Spirit Filled Girl Talk. Join our Spirit Filled Sisterhood Community. Whatever you’re navigating in this season, you’ll find this to be a safe space to grow in faith and trust God more deeply. https://www.facebook.com/groups/spiritfilledgirltalk

    63 | Was That God... or Just My Own Thoughts? How to Discern God’s Voice

    Have you ever wondered, "Was that God... or just my own thoughts?" If you've struggled to discern God's voice, feared making the wrong decision, or worried about missing His will for your life, you're not alone. In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we're talking about what it actually means to hear God's voice and why biblical discernment is more relational than mystical. God isn't asking us to chase signs or wait for an audible voice. Instead, He invites us to know Him more deeply through Scripture, prayer, surrender, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. We also share personal stories of overthinking, wrestling with major decisions, and learning to trust God's peace instead of anxiety. Plus, we offer four practical filters to help you discern whether something is truly from the Lord. In this episode, we discuss: How to recognize God's voice The difference between fear, conviction, and discernment Why Scripture is the foundation for hearing God How Christian community strengthens discernment Four biblical filters for making wise decisions If you've been longing for more confidence in following Jesus and hearing His leading, we pray this conversation gives you practical tools and the peace to take your next faithful step.

    62 | Girl Talk On Guarding Your Heart — Because What You Give Access to Shapes You

    Girl talk on what—or who—is shaping your heart? Every day we're giving something access to our minds, emotions, and attention. Social media, conversations, entertainment, news, our own thought patterns—whether we realize it or not, we're constantly being discipled by something. In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we're exploring what Proverbs 4:23 really means when it tells us to guard your heart. This isn't a conversation about fear, legalism, or avoiding the world. It's about learning to recognize what's influencing your thoughts, protecting your peace, and intentionally making more room for Jesus to shape who you're becoming. Together, we talk about how subtle influences affect our spiritual growth, why our internal narratives matter, and practical ways to cultivate a Christ-centered atmosphere in our hearts, homes, and relationships. In this episode, we discuss: What it truly means to guard your heart The hidden influences shaping your faith How your thoughts can either produce peace or pressure Why abiding in Christ requires intentionality Practical ways to create an atmosphere that points you back to Jesus If you've been longing to grow in spiritual discernment, protect your peace, and become more intentional about what shapes your heart, we pray this conversation encourages you to draw closer to Jesus and let His voice become the one that influences you most.

    60 | What Fasting Really Is (And Why Every Christian Should Consider It)

    Have you ever wanted to try biblical fasting but weren't sure where to begin? Maybe it feels intimidating, overly religious, or like something only "super spiritual" Christians do. In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we're sharing what happened when we completed our very first 7-day fast alongside six incredible women from our Spirit-Filled Sisterhood community. We entered the fast praying for breakthrough in our marriages, but God had something even deeper in mind. Instead of simply changing our circumstances, He lovingly revealed areas of our own hearts that needed healing, surrender, and greater trust. Together, we unpack what fasting really is, why Jesus modeled it, and how fasting isn't about earning God's favor or manipulating an outcome. It's about removing distractions so we can draw closer to Him, hear His voice more clearly, and grow in intimacy with Jesus. In this episode, we discuss: What the Bible says about fasting Why Christians fast Common misconceptions about fasting What God revealed during our 7-day fast Simple ways to begin fasting without fear or legalism If you've been longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, we pray this conversation encourages you to create space for Him to lovingly reveal what's in your heart.   This Isn't Small Talk.
