    Episode 5: Build Your Personal Board

    Nicole, Monica, and Emmylou discuss about building a personal "board" of people who speak honestly into the different areas of your life so no single blind spot runs unchecked. Segment topics include identifying the areas, the danger of one person board, and their personal discipleship experiences. WHAT, NOW? Think of the room in your life with the least accountability right now. Name one specific person who can guide you in this least acountability area. This week, send them a message asking them directly to speak into that specific room/area After you listen to this podcast, please head over to The Quest for Character - Transformation Beyond Self-Help to listen on Spotify, Amazon Music, or Apple Podcast.

    Episode 4: Well-Informed or Discipled?

    Nicole, Monica, and Emmylou unpacked if we are well-informed about our faith or is actually being discipled in it. Covered in this conversation are topics about being taught and being discipled, is there a difference between catching up and checking in with each other - listen for the simple test. They also cover honesty markers to determine the discipleship relationship. WHAT, NOW? Choose one relationship you assumed was discipleship, or one you assumed was just casual. Honestly check it against the four markers mentioned in the episode. Then ask yourself two things: Where am I only being taught, when I actually need to be discipled? Where have I only let others see the surface without inviting them into my real life? After you listen to this podcast, please head over to The Quest for Character - Transformation Beyond Self-Help.

    Episode 3: Community Over Pretensions

    [ FYI: You will hear a malunggay pandesal vendor’s jingle on the background and towards the end of the episode you will hear lots of birds chirping so please bear with us. We strive to make our recording as noise-free as possible even when we want these episodes to be more organic. We understand that these noise can be a pain on the ear so we thank you for your patience.] Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned that our worth in a community is tied to what we produce for it. How well you speak in front of people, how many likes your post gets, whether you’re impressive enough to earn your seat at the table. In this episode, Nicole, Monica, and Emmylou talked about the difference between a community that watches your performance and one that actually knows you. In the communities we’re each part of right now, does anyone there know about our bad weeks, or only our good ones?WHAT, NOW? Think of the community you’re most involved in right now. If you brought your actual struggles there instead of your polished self, do you believe you’d still belong? Sit with your honest answer, whatever it is.

    Episode 2: Knowing Your Family's Story Without Being Trapped by It

    Every family has a story they tell about themselves and another they don’t. In this episode, Nicole, Monica, & Emmylou talked about how to know your family’s story honestly, no denying, no covering it up, no judging or shaming either, looking at it as facts about the family starting with talking about their own families. Knowing your story means you can name the pattern - good or bad - without being defined or limited by it. What is your family known for, in your place or among relatives, and do you actually want to be known for the same thing?What has never really been talked about openly in your family? You don’t have to say the whole thing, but what would it cost just to name that it exists? Which of your parents’ or grandparents’ patterns do you think you’re repeating, without ever having chosen to? What part of your family’s story do you want to carry forward on purpose because it’s actually good? WHAT, NOW? Name one pattern in your family, good or bad, that you’ve never said out loud before. You don’t have to tell anyone yet. Just admit it to yourself first. Music credit: Alex Morgan © Copyright 2026 | Emmylou F.

    Episode 1: Choosing Friendships that Form You

    In this episode, Nicole, Monica and Emmylou talked about the difference between friendships that form you and friendships that just keep you company. Gather your friends, bring your favorite beverage, and join the conversation as we unpack the following questions and share our experiences. Are all friendship endings bad?Are fun friendships always bad?Who’s a friend, past or present, who actually changed or reframed the story of your life?How did your friendships help change or reframe the story of your life and what did that person actually do?Have you distanced yourself from a friend group you loved because it wasn’t good for you? What made you finally see it?What’s the difference between a friend who tells you what you want to hear and one who tells you the truth? Which one are you actually drawn to, honestly?Where has walang iwanan and utang na loob helped your friendships and where has it maybe made it harder to walk away from something that wasn’t good for you?If you could describe, in one sentence, the kind of friend you want to become for someone else, what would it be? What, Now? Think of 3-4 people you spend the most time with. If you became exactly like them in 5 years, would you be glad? © Copyright 2026 | Emmylou F.

    [2015] 06: Discovering Your Talent as a Single Person

    Still in the Stewardship Series, Jabez and I talk about discovering your talents, gift, calling or purpose in your life and how to take good care of it. Being a good steward of the talents and skills the Lord Jesus Christ has given us is reflective of our appreciation to our Creator. We share our own experiences, how we discovered what we're good at and how we stay secure and not compare what we can and can't do with others can and can't do.

    [2015] 03: Managing Emotions

    Jabez and I started this episode by sharing our personal process of forgiving. This is in response to a listener's question who was asking us how to forgive. We say it's not an easy thing but it is doable and we can't fully forgive unless we have experienced God's forgiveness ourselves.
